World's biggest Yankee fan missing all of this

[hansen]

I'm not sure how the Phillies won 2 games in this series. Actually, I'm not sure how the Phillies even made the world series. They have one pitcher on their entire roster who is decent (bullpen included). When you have to run out Pedro as your #2 starter, what business do you have being in the effing world series? Goes to show how weak the national league is. Kansas City has much better pitching than the Phillies.

The World Series should be AL vs AL. Let the NL teams play in some time of losers bracket for a 3rd place trophy.

Yankees were much, much better than the Phillies, other than that you can suck my Japanese imprisoned balls. The AL teams which spend under 150MM would have lost more than 2 games.

why are your balls imprisoned in japan?

I blew up too many whaling ships, due to a misunderstanding about who was actually the pilot/bombadier on the enola gay.

Our entire offense fell asleep at the exact same time. It's one year. This decade:

Red Sox 2
Yankees 1

Once we get Felix Hernandez/Adrian Gonzalez and re-sign Bay or sign Holliday this off-season to partner with Beckett and Lester, it's going to be lights out next year.

"The Red Sox are built for the postseason. The Yankees are not." - some guy here

It's 9 outs away from being tied for the decade, and this is your best decade in 80 years.

Uh, 2000 is the 10th year of the 90s. You and 74 have a real problem with that one.

[twballgame9]

Oh, by the way. Congrats on winning. I read that it was over in this morning's paper.

[talon]

Uh, 2000 is the 10th year of the 90s. You and 74 have a real problem with that one.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990s

The 1990s was the decade that ran from January 1, 1990, to December 31, 1999, the last decade of the 20th century. A combination of factors including the mass mobilisation of capital markets through neoliberalism, the widespread proliferation of new media such as the Internet, and the dissolution of the Soviet Union led to a realignment and reconsolidation of economic and political power across the world, and within countries. Living standards and democratic governance generally improved in many areas of the world, notably East Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and South Africa. However new ethnic conflicts emerged in Africa, the Caucusus and the Balkans, and signs of any resolution of tensions in the Middle East remained elusive.

Truth be told, neither of the lefties running for mayor make much difference. But I'd like to have hizzonah be able to speak English.

Why wasn't it "truth be told" a month ago when you were toot toot tooting for young Mikey?

I am rooting for him because I know him and because he speaks English. Truth was told back then - check the thread - I specifically said I didn't like that Baby Flats was in bed with the uselessunions.

Welcome back.

[Endless Mike]

You jerks keep derailing the thread.

Christmas Ape was a much better ape than Travis. Remember when he went to summer camp?

[angrychicken]

Now that MJ is gone, Bubbles had to get a J-O-B. I, for one, support him in his new venture.

[Onyx Blackman]

Travis' only crime was flying too close to the sun.

[eagle9903]

As the 2001 English edition of the Larousse Gastronomique puts it, "Although its description is not immediately appealing, haggis has an excellent nutty texture and delicious savoury flavour"

[hansen]

i like bc football and i hope that they get to a BCS game this decade.

[angryty]

Travis did what he had to do. The cops did what they had to do. When you live a gangsta life, you usually die in a hail of gunfire. At least Travis didn't die like that punk bitch Bryan Pata. No sir, Travis did not get down on his knees and weep like Frank Lopez and futiley begging for his miserable life while some diamond hard muthafucka ventilated his dome with a 9mm like the late and unlamented Mr. Pata. Nope, Travis went down in a blaze of glory, tearing a face off some ho who dared to get up in his grill. See you at the crossroads, Travis. See you at the crossroads.

As for the Red Sox, they are an over-the-hill collection of formerly good players who are way past their prime, coupled with some young players who aren't as good as we might have initially been lead to believe (see Pedroia, Dustin, Lester, Jon, Papelbon, Jonathan and Ellsbury, Jacoby). The fact is, the Sox need to blow up the roster and start over at this point and with the way Henry is hemorraging money in his personal fortune, I doubt the Sox will have the money to lure what little good free agent talent there is out there. If they are smart, they will do what the Yankees did last year and take a year to clear contracts and build up capital for a free agent binge in 2011--assuming the economy comes back enough for Henry to be able to afford to do anything.

I would guess that the Yankees will almost certainly be the destination for Roy Halladay when all is said in done.

That parenthesis is comical. The only position they really need to shore up is LF, maybe 3B (can be done through Adrian Gonzalez), one or two SPs (assuming Beckett, Buck, Lester, and Dice-K are back), and the random middle reliever. I'm very curious as to why you think Lester isn't as good when he was better in pretty much every stat except for a slight dip in ERA, which is not an entirely great stat as is. And I'd love to hear your argument against Ellsbury.

Joe Girardi- manager of the decade. That decade being the 2000s, I think. Maybe it was the late 90s. Or are we starting a new decade now in 2009? So many questions.

Hermida's going to be like Baldelli. Nothing to look at here. Well, I hope. If they replace Bay with a guy traded for Hunter Jones and some Alvarez guy I have little to no knowledge of, well, I wouldn't be happy with Theo. In Theo We Trust.

[BigPete]

We're here at BlogBoy's much-warranted urging to pay tribute to the late, great Travis, my fellow Yankee fan. What do we have? A bunch of fucking 74 crying about the Yankees spending money to put a quality product on the field.

FYI, the core of all of their championships is comprised of home-grown players who command over $100 mm in salary amongst themselves. We reward achievement, instead of dating Katie Couric, talking with affected accents and being red in the cheeks. Fuck you Ghost.

money does not equal success. see the teams highlighted in pink above. playoff teams in blue.

[branchinator]

Umm...there are only 8 playoff spots. Of course there are going to be high-spending teams who don't make it.
