ARod (probably) staying w/ Yankees

[Guest]

I was absolutely replying to Bruno. There wasnt even an XM mentioned in the original post. When I hit reply, the extent of his post was

 

"details to follow shortly.."

 

To which I replied.

 

 

so there is a new rule that the biggest news of the offseason should be withheld until all details are available? Why? Seems like you were just trying to start a fight for no reason.

What a giant waste of time.

 

It will be quite interesting to listen to Yankees fans and media backtrack.

The Yankees still have to be furious with this. 21 million from Texas down the drain because of Boras. Then the PR problems of saying over and over again that they wouldn't go after A-Rod if he opted out (they aren't going to make everybody understand it was because they refused to negotiate with Boras in free agency). It's still the best move for the Yankees to make at this point, but it's a lot bigger mess for them.

Can I get some props for breaking the Bob Melvin NL Manager of the Year story? Do I get a t-shirt or a trophy?

 

 

Who's Bob Melvin? :?

[Bruno7481]

Just to clarify.

 

Sterling was a guest of Dibble and Kennedy. He said the deal is done. Was told on a "1 to 100 scale of the possibillity of a deal, it was a 101."

 

XM is running with it.

good times all around.

 

i was really looking forward to a golden era of FJM, and i really hope this doesn't prevent it.

I think he is more like dovemason.

DAMN YOU JIM HENDRY! YOU COULD HAVE SIGNED AROD AND YOU DIDNT!

 

Jim Hendry just set the team back at least 5 years with his inaction. Come talk to me when Omar @(#$@ Infante hits 40+ HRs. Did he not play enough positions for you Jimbo?? Was he not fast enough for you Donut Boy! All he had to do was offer him 8 years, $500 million and the Cubs have a HOF SS/3B. But nooo...stupid Jim Hendry is over in Japan drooling over Mr. Tools Fukudome and the rest of his Asian buddys. I hate this team!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(by the way, completely kidding)

[Yanksfan1523]

A-Rod reported talking personally to the Steinbummers on his website. I think it is all B.S. because no one is going over 10/275. So he tucked his tail, kissed some butt and is just trying to bring the Yankees along (ala Greg Maddux) to drive up the price for Aneheim or L.A.

[E.J.]

If true, I'm guessing the Tejada and Cabrera talks heat up. I'm guessing the Angels end up with one of the two.

The problem with that is I don't see it working unless Anaheim or LA come right back and offer something huge. If it's a charage, he's not going to be able to keep it going long.

How bad are the Rangers laughing right now. Arod gets richer and stays on the Yankees, but the Rangers are off the hook for the money they owed. Sure looks like it works out well for them.

i'm not sure the rangers should be laughing at anybody, considering how badly they suck

They probably shouldn't laugh too loud, because they still suck.

well, other than all those losses.

[E.J.]

Wow. How many people does it take to tell a joke?

Great minds sometimes think like me.

What's worse is that it really wasn't all that funny.

I always enjoy when FJM tears apart a stupid NY media piece that trashes A-Rod, but at this point I don't really care if they write crap about him. I guess at some point there was some sympathy because he was being hammered for the most idiotic reasons, but he had his chance to get away from that, and he's choosing to take the most money (again). At this point I say he kinda brings it on himself.

"charage"?

 

Forget it, he's rolling.

Sorry, charade.

 

 

For anybody thinking Bruno is a credit whore, espnnews is running a note saying Len Pasquirelli is reporting Rex Grossman will start, even though the Bears officially announced it themselves over an hour ago and everybody else is also reporting the story.
