bangbang023 Veteran Posted September 9, 2005 Veteran Share Posted September 9, 2005 they could buy it cant they? 586501670[/snapback] Yay for ignorant remarks! You do realize that just because the Yankees have hte highest payroll doesn't mean anything, right? George simply puts the money back into the team unlike other greedy owners who don't care about winning. The Bosox and Mets have salaries very close to that of the Yanks and no one says a thing.

nemo Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 very close?? u think 123mill is 'very close' to 208mil? :huh: 586502031[/snapback] What's the difference? Almost 40 million of that 208 has been lost to players who were/are injured and either aren't coming back or spend most of the time on the DL. And if the Red Sox got A-Rod instead of the Yankees, it'd be another $25mil difference. I wonder if everybody would be saying the same then...

I wonder if everybody would be saying the same then... 586505029[/snapback] as far as the contract being lost on players that are injured thats the nature of the game so dont whine about it. they still decided to take on kevin brown knowing he had a history of back problems just like the red sox took on wade miller knowing he had arm problems. only diff is that the red sox got him for little money. people wouldn't necessarily be saying saying the same thing because the red sox would have traded manny. they would picked up some of his contract, at least 5-10 mil or so, to make it happen with the rangers, so it would have made a-rod's contract around 30-35 mil which only would have added 5-10 mill to the total payroll. nevermind them trading nomar to get ordonez which would have another 10 mil but thats in a trade where both players were making about the same. i think there is a big difference between 123 mil and 208 mil and i just was asking if that was truly what bluepride would call 'very close.'

Pre and Post 1990. The Greatest players of all time vs The players who are okay but got a little help from steroids, small fields, jucied balls/bats, etc...

bigbluepride35 Posted September 22, 2005 Author Share Posted September 22, 2005 Torre probably heard Sweet Lou won't go back to Tampa next year and decided to make sure the team got their asses in gear because if they don't make the playoffs well. . .

bangbang023 Veteran Posted September 22, 2005 Veteran Share Posted September 22, 2005 They've won 9 of the last ten and the hitting has been less than stellar at points. They've really come together. Giambi is having back problems, though, and match that with Sheff's bum leg and we could have a potential power problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbluepride35 Posted September 22, 2005 Author Share Posted September 22, 2005 Just saw this on ESPN.com: Rafael Palmeiro reportedly told a three-member baseball arbitration panel that a teammate gave him a substance that might be responsible for his positive steroid test, a source told the Baltimore Sun.Story That is shocking!!!!!

bigbluepride35 Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 The NL West is going to be won by a sub .500 team. That's pathetic.

No one in your league is going to make the playoffs with a sub .500 record. I wasn't saying that because the Mets deserve it but Philly or Houston should be given that spot. It's ridiculous that a sub .500 team is going to win the NL West. In the AL at least all the teams have winning records. No sympathy for you :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
