Yankees change line up; add a rookie?!?!?!?
May 03, 2005 at 08:33PM View BBCode
The Yankees finally realized Bernie is not what he used to be, so they're sitting him and Matsui is the official centerfielder. Tony Womack, for whatever sinister reason, is going to be the starting left fielder. At second base, Robinson Cano is the starter. I'm still speechless from learning the Yankees would actually start a rookie, from their farm system no less.

Womack moves from being a below-average 2B to a HACKING MASS All Star in LF.

I can't believe the Yanks are in a panic already, they must read the Post...

Anyway, we're no better. If the Orioles lose tonight, I'll be writing off the rest of the season.

I think it's King George more than the New York papers. George demands excellence and right now, he isn't getting it. Torre can probably smell himself getting fired. Why? Because King George is a freakin' crackpot.Anyway, we're no better. If the Orioles lose tonight, I'll be writing off the rest of the season.

Ugh... That's what everybody said last year as well. Actually whenever they hit a slide that's what people say. Bottom line is that all teams go through skids and hot streaks. Just because they are "the Yankees" and their big skid has been in the beginning of the season people are panicking and saying that it is over. Do you all really expect the White Sox to have the best record in the league all year long? Probably not, they have just hit their hot streak now as opposed to later. By August everything will be balanced out and we will start to see the teams that were predicted to be at the top filling out the top and those that were predicted to be at the bottom start to sink down. Of course there is always the exception for the surprise team or disappointing team or whatever but lets wait until we get alittle farther than game 26 into the season to determine who those teams are.

I just think it's funny, surely there is someone with a grain of sanity and a bit of backbone to tell George that he is a raging imbecile...Then again, I suppose not...

Look, the fact that anyone would think Torre is working on getting fired because his team is under .500 a month into a season only thinks that because George Stienbrenner has a track record of making rash managerial decisions. That and the fact that the New York sportswriters are freaking insane.

It must be prolonged exposure to that horrific pile of ugly Patrick Ewing that drove all New York sportswriters mad...

I related this as my "meeting famous person" story before. I sat right across from Patrick Ewing in an airport waiting area one time, and he's even uglier in person. And tall. Really tall.

Better than seing Richard Simmons at the airport. He wasn't hyper and gay, so we didn't notice him until he was going on the plane

Speaking of gay, the Yanks ought to be less worried about Bernie and more worried about Kevin Brown's trio of ass rapings this season.

Well, the Yanks are still taking it up the ass for the Ted Lilly-Jeremy Bonderman/Carlos Pena-Jeff Weaver deal, which everyone said was horrible for baseball at the time cause the Yanks were just buying another star player.

Now we need this trend to continue...
Maybe Kenyon Martin can sever his legs in a horrible golfing accident?
Or maybe Sprewells kids will cannibalize his father, what with them not having anything else to eat and all...

Ah, my soul smiles whenever Kevin Brown gets killed on the mound. :)Now we need this trend to continue...

Fantasy Analysis
Brown's ERA ballooned to 8.25 after his third poor start in four games this season. He is not a recommended Fantasy starter in any format right now until he begins to pitch more consistently.

I just thought they let other teams develope their talent temporarily......:puzzled:
Each loss gets sweeter as the Yanks do their best to sign every stud under the sun......how can you lose any games with the "studs" they have, let alone be under .500??

That's right, it's the foreign teams' fault for not stepping aside to allow the US team to be smothered with glory and hosannas like the good lord intended...
