Pettitte declines $16 million option

[UMFan83]

There is nothing wrong with what the Yankee fan is suggesting. He just has to understand that with this change in philosophy, they might have to accept a couple of years of rebuilding.

 

 

As a true Yankee fan, I have been through losing and accept that while developing some younger players that we will have mediocre seasons! I will take it to lower the payroll and get some hunger back in this team. I think Girardi and O'neill can bring some of that back. I have missed the intensity of teams past.

 

You come to a Cubs board and you reason by saying that you've been through losing? (only kidding). Either way, if the Yankees are really going to do it this way, it can only be good for baseball. Now its obviously that there is only one real "evil empire" and its about 4 hours NE of NYC

I don't get how Kennedy can be compared to Joba and Hughes. Joba and Hughes are much better.

Hey, just cause I am a Yankees fan doesn't mean I don't have intrest in other teams. I went to High School and College in Illinois and may know more about your Cubbies than some others on here. I have many interests in the Cubs/Cards rivalry!

 

And Yes, I was happy to see the Evil empire shift itself Northeast! But let's not forget the Cubbies broke out the checkbook and closed the gap also.

I don't want to take anything away from A-Rod's stats. He is a BEAST (except his RISP).

 

Alex Rodriguez, with runners in scoring position, this year:

.329 .443 .719 1.162

 

3 year splits:

.308 .434 .554 .988

 

Any other misinformation?

Any other misinformation?

He refuses to sign kids and shuns baseballs at the park?

[BigbadB]

He's also selfish. Remember when the Yankees first traded for him and he forced Derek Jeter to move to 3rd base?

Remember when he got busted for HGH? Also, didn't he refuse to travel with the team on road trips?

I wonder what Jeter's numbers are?

So is Bernie the best ever?? You just made my point! Bernie, O'neill, Brosius, Martinez. They fed off each other and hated to lose. That is why that was such a good team! They just wanted to win. I didn't say that team was full of bums! They had stars, but other than Jeter, Any Hall of famers? Not really (Sorry Bernie). No one hit 40 homers, but as a team they stole bases, hit in the clutch, executed the hit and run, and Pitched and played defense!! I would love to have Bernie and O'neill on this team!! You can bet I teach my boys to play like them!!

 

Virtually every athlete hates to lose.
