And listen to the bitching about a 250 million dollar payroll?? As a true fan, I want to see the payroll lowered and some talent developed! ARod's money is not going to be put into the draft or anything like that, it's going to go right back into the FA market. He didn't hinder your youth development, at all.

I don't want to take anything away from A-Rod's stats. He is a BEAST (except his RISP). My point is that the Yankees won without him, and save the 30 million for pitching!! This team won with Scott B at third and went to the series with Aaron F'in Boone. I feel it is time to go back to the winning ways of "THE TEAM" concept. 1998 Yankees, no 40 hr guys but were 125-50 (including playoffs)!!! Do all Yankee fans think this way? It's utterly stupid to think that the 98 Yankees won because of the team concept. Come on. So how did the 98 Yankees win?? O'neill, Jeter, Martinez, Posada, Bernie, Knoblauch-- What would you call it?? Those guys all hit really well that year. Awesome offense, decent pitching and a great bullpen. Edit and when i say decent pitching, i mean that they had the lowest ERA in the AL. By almost half a run. The offense was also fourth in the league in HR and first in runs. Acting like it was a bunch of no names banding together to claw out a championship is totally wrong. I never said it was a bunch of no names. I was saying that it was a great team! But there was no A-Rod type. 2007 ARod OPS+ 177 1998 Bernie Williams OPS+ 160 2007 Yankees team OPS+ 118 1998 Yankees team OPS+ 117 The 2007 Yankees allowed almost a full run per game (0.75) more than the 1998 version. That's why you weren't as good. Not because ARod is "only interested in money". EXACTLY MY POINT!!! How is A-rod and his 30 million going to help our pitching?? The Yankees have had mediocre pitching for years. I would much prefer to spend that 30 million on pitching!! We don't need the offense. ARod is worth what, 80 more runs than Betemit (total estimate)? With this FA pitching market, it's going to be tough to spread out $30 million dollars in a way to make up that many runs.

The home unis look too much like padres Seriously, these are so boring.

He's like 6'5 playing point guard and his offensive game is mostly oriented around getting to the basket, I think he'll be fine. I'm not a Mayo fan by any means, but he's going to be really good. Agreed. Do you like Mayo or Rose better? Mayo is obviously a better scorer, but I think Rose will without a doubt be a better player, at least in college.

did you ever ask him about this, you dick

Is there any way to add some incentive to win a championship? I mean, as it stands now, you win and all that means is you get last pick in the draft. Should we give the champion something? Like a higher draft pick, or maybe the right to keep a fourth player for the next year? I haven't had a lot of time to think about it, but I sort of like the fourth keeper award. Something to think about.

I'm really not too big of a Brandon Wood fan, to tell you the truth. Is he going to stick at SS?

Baldelli isn't anywhere close to a stud producer. If his one half season of good production was maintained over a full season, maybe we could talk. But there isn't a whole lot of support for the theory that this would be likely. Sure there is. Baldelli is a real solid player when healthy. His injuries have not been anything major like knee surgery. It has mostly been a nagging hamstring issue and it seems to me that by giving it a whole offseason that should be able to heal. I don't think that the D-Rays will give him away, but it doesn't really seem that he is much in their plans with all the other outfielders they have. I would think a package of Marshall and perhaps Wuertz might be enough. Both are cheap but have major league experience so it wouldn't seem like a salary dump. The Rays could put Marshall right into the rotation and use Wuertz as an eighth inning set up man. They need pitching badly. I actually think that he did have acl or mcl surgery

All in favor of making MurtonFan a mod over the Poll forum say aye!

Did I read that correctly? Is Raisin of all people bitching about Illini/Indiana talk? Hey, can we get another update about UCLA for all the (zero) UCLA fans on here. We need a 15th UCLA themed post today, I dont know how the girls softball team did.

Hart is going to leave Michigan with like 1200 carries on his resume. He's too little and too slow to survive for long in the NFL. McFadden Jonathon Stewart Felix Jones Mendenhall the rest are tier-2 guys Slaton is fast but doesn't have the size or the vision to be a top pick. I could see him late second early third.

And pretty soon, neither will McNabb. I love how Andy Reid kept McNabb in there when the Eagles were down by 4 TD's instead of going with your rookie who needs the experience. Great move there, big guy. he was so hiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh

what a beatdown suck it philly

Whoever drafted adrian peterson is a faggot

No one can stop AD. He's going to go over 200 again today.

josh hancock was recently inducted into the dead hall of fame i saw it on sportsline

That's interesting, if that's the case, maybe he keeps Pie on the bench again in 2008. I guess we just pray he hits like it's 2006 again, with that defense in CF, he'd be really valuable.
