i'm going from memory here, so correct me if i'm wrong, but wasn't holliday the mvp of the 2007 national league championship series? seems a strong playoff credential to build upon.

depends what he wants. for a reasonable price for a single year at a time, yes.
depends if they get holliday.
if so, no, they won't need damon.
holliday has more to offer than damon at...
i think this thread has gotten enough response to warrant their being a yankees thread, but not a second one (though i suspect you were joking). for now we can leave it as it is, but perhaps soon i...
it should prove to be a very interesting matchup
as much as the yankees are a team built to thrive in that launchpad of a stadium, if i had to pick a single other team that could take advantage of...
so who else wishes they hadn't sent gardner to steal 2nd two minutes ago?
if he'd have still been on base, posada would have just put them ahead.
still, they are tied now and have 2 outs left...
today's game might be the most important
getting off to a good start was nice, but the yanks have won the first game and lost the series far too often for me to be too comfortable
today...
i'm still here
i tend to wait to see how things turn out
yesterday was quite impressive
how did they win?
strong pitching, solid defense, and base hits.
i've met mr. steinbrenner many times (i used to work for him). he really is one of the nicest and most generous people you'd ever want to meet.
on this point, i couldn't disagree more. the national league style has worked for so long and continues to work today because it is a proven system built on fundamental baseball on both offense and...
not saying it won't help then. logic dictates it would always help.
what i'm saying is, they would do best to avoid situations where they need to rely on late inning home runs because it could...
i'll restate what i said much earlier in the season
i will take all the walk off wins now happily, but come playoff time, if they are still relying on the last minute heroics to win games, they...
well, i'll take seeing boston go 31 innings without a run whether it's due to yankee pitching or boston's inability to put a bat on the ball or both. any way you slice it, it works out well for the...
oh i'd be sure to give some credit to the yankees, especially the pitching staff which performed solidly and kept the red sox off the scoreboard for the vast majority of the series. pitching wins...
exactly
i'll take the august sweep over the april sweep any time.
the yankees really got themselves a bit of breathing room now, 6.5 ahead of boston and 8 ahead of the rays. consistency down...
I'm kind of torn about this one. :orely:
I know Burnett was sending a message to the Rangers about throwing at Teixiera, and I know that bean ball goes back a long way, but it's been pretty well...
It's good that they're winning. Still, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat on a night in and night out basis is not going to cut it come the fall. They need to be winning before the ninth if...
I agree, but that to me is legitimate gamesmanship. The same thing happens every now and again in hockey when a coach notices an opposing player has a stick with too much of a curve in it but doesn't...
Those are good examples you raise and I agree, all can be legitimately defined as forms of "cheating."
However, I think one key difference between Perry's use of the spitter or George Brett's use...
By now most of you have probably heard or read of the newest allegations against Alex Rodriguez. I am not all that concerned about the new steroid claims. It was pretty clear that he was less than...
This weekend showed me everything I needed to know.
Optimists can keep their optimism if it serves them and those who want to say it's only April can keep that up for another four days if that...
