The Yankees are God

That's it. That's all there is to say about that.

They will most likely make it to the World Series and hopefully win it.
And to think.... I wasted ten years of my life being a Braves fan.

Shouldn't the topic say "The Yankees are Gods"?

So I take it you just follow whatever team puts a bit of a dynasty together? Must be nice.

I've got tickets to the game on the 29th, where I'm sure the godly Yankees will be once again defeated.

GO JAYS GO!!!

That simply deserves one of these

Yankees suck.

Braves fan?

The Braves are like Jason Voorhees. They never go away.

Spankies fans need to go away.

The Yankees will never be god(s) until they follow my plan.

1) pick up Curt Schilling, Randy Johnson and Mark Prior as middle relievers.
2) go 162-0, walk to the World Series
3) ruin baseball as we know it forever

Your God is a jerk.

Nobody tell Steinbrenner about #1.

Does this come as a surprise? For years it has been known that Yankee fans recruit bandwagoners.

Actually, a team going 162-0 would help baseball immensley...imagine all the publicity the league would get.

YANKEES all the way!!


:D :D

God was beaten by the Toronto Blue Jays yesterday.
Good one :lol

So were you one of those bandwagon fans who got on after they kept running into the ground during the WS, or are you one of those fair-weather atlanta fans who don't give a damn anyway?

As long as the Red Sox never win, I don't mind if the Yankess win every year.

Why did the Blue Jays ever ditch that logo? Anyway. Now look at them. Awful.

Oh yes, this is a thread about the Yankees.

Hate them.

Everytime the Blue Jays mess with their logo, it's that much more shocking and obnoxious than the last. It just gets worse and worse looking.

Actually I think the Logo that came after the one in 'V's avatar is the best. With the maple leaf in the background.

Can't beat the vintage look. The Jays whole uniform is god awful and boring. Bring back the Classic!

Maybe doing some might bring back some of that past glory....

Go Expos!

er... sorry..

Yeah, I hate those Yankies with a passion.. they use New York Rangers mentality when it comes to building a team.. I hate when teams buy wins and championships.. :mad:

The Jays current uniform looks too much like the D-Rays one. They should definitely go back to the vintage ones.

What about the Cardinals? They have a better record than the Yankees and their payroll is $100 million less.

As long as the Red Sox never win, I don't mind if the Yankess win every year.

Why do you hate the Sox so much? Just curious.

So I take it you just follow whatever team puts a bit of a dynasty together? Must be nice.

Wrong. When I was little Dale Murphy was my favorite player; don't know why.
I hated the Yankees throughout the 90's; hated them.
In 2000, things started to change. I had to carpool to university with a Mariners fan and never heard the end of how they were just so good. By the time the ALCS came around I hated the Mariners with a passion and was confident NY would take them out; I'm sorry, but I'm taking Clemens, Pettitte, El Duque, Neagle, plus a bunch of proven post-season performers over a young Freddy Garcia, whoever the rest of the Mariners starting pitchers were, a bunch of guys who overachieved drastically during the regular season, plus a bunch of hype.
It felt so damn good to see them take Seattle out. I’ll never forget the we want Nelson chant and the Jor-GE… Jor-GE… Jor-GE… chant from game 6. :)
When it was time for the Subway Series, I’d heard so many predictions for a Mets win both on the radio and in person that it infuriated me even more. I found myself giving the Yankees even more support. After they destroyed the Mets I took a look at that team and was very appreciative of them for the first time. For the latter half of the 1990’s they’d given me year after year of excitement during the post season, even if it did come at the expense of my former favorite team sometimes. Every time they lose someone like Brosius, Tino, or Knoblauch, I am reminded of this and am now forever in debt to the Yankees.
“Waaah… but look at their payroll… waaah. They just buy championships.” Despite their huge payroll, it is not impossible to beat the Yankees. The Diamondbacks did it, Florida did it. If your team can’t, then boo whoo. (That wasn't directed at anyone in particular, btw.) The Yankees keep baseball interesting me in a town that doesn’t have a MLB franchise and apparently then make it more interesting for others as well since so many people do so much *****ing about them.

Go Expos?

When did you become a fan of the Yanks, in 2001? They haven't won a World Series since 2000. They are suffering from "the curse of the Giambino."

Why do you hate the Sox so much? Just curious.

I guess I can answer this somtime.

When I was a kid, it seemed like the Blue Jays were always getting beat by the Red Sox in important games. So I just developed a hatred for them, even more than the Yankees.

they were getting beaten by the Dirty, Dirty Yankees also.

they were getting beaten by the Dirty, Dirty Yankees also.

I might be wrong, and I don't really feel like checking, but I think the Yankees were kind of bad in the 80's/early 90's weren't they? That's why I never hated the Yankees as much.

Going a bit of topic, as for the Expos, I think that I read somewhere there is a possibility they can stay a few more years because of the ballparks in Virginia, DC, and Portland are not as good as the Big O in Montreal (how is that possible? Our roof can't even move :dunno: )

the yankees of the early 90's were awful. imagine getting excited by kevin mass at first and pat kelly at second. times have changed thankfully.

Yeah that's what I thought. Thanks for helping to justify my Red Sox hatred.

I mean't to tell you, your avatar reminded me of how sweet the old logo was, and I ended up buying a throw-back Jays cap. So yeah, thanks.

No problem, everyone should have one.

Although the oldest one I have is a hat with the logo that came after this one. And I have the one with the Blue Jay on steroids.

To be honest, if they can't go retro on it all and return to the original logo, I don't think the one they have now is all that bad, relatively speaking. I'm not a fan of many of these newer jerseys and logos, they all look so generic, but I think the Jays have one of the less horrible ones.

But nothing beats the old school.

I always hated new Blue Jay logos, but they always grew on me. This new one has yet to do so.

Couldnt agree more. I think it would also be nice if they could get a little more blue back in their uniforms since they are the Blue Jays afterall.

Whats the matter, someone steal your Pokey Reddick rookie card?

God's starters have one win in their last 15 games.

For being God, the Angels were clearly superior not too long ago.

whoa, little defensive?.... hearing footsteps?

Angels swept the yankees in yankee stadium a week ago :handclap: By the way Yankers s**K :lol: Sorry red sox but the angels will get the wild card :yo:

Man, the Jays beat "God" again?

Awesome game, blistering 6-4 win, and Jeter was a stinking pile of crap out there. Hardly a "godly" performance.

Eyyyyyyee fogetabaout it.

The Angels do scare me, but you guys have a tough road to the wild card if the sox keep playing the way they've been.

You know, I don't think I care much for the title of this thread. Being raised Catholic, I had enough trouble figuring God out when he was three entities (the Father, Son, and Bobby Orr). Now I'm supposed to figure it out with 25 guys?

Does this include managers, coaches training staff, and the groundscrew? What about the front office? What happens when they expand the rosters?

It's a lot to think about.

By the way, Eat It, get rid of "Fans" in your avatar. We both know "Yankees Suck" is the appropriate cheer, great at weddings, bar mitzvahs, or when you're just hanging out on the landing at Kenmore. I once participated in an improptu cheer in a Portland bar in January.

Armondo's in Cambridge, which makes my Top 5 all-time pizzas, is redundantly Greek. In fact, it's much easier to find inferior-tasting Greek pizza in and around the Hub than it is a good thin-crust, tomato-rich slice.

SoS, I respect everyone's right to be offended, but from where I'm sitting you're going overboard. Eat It's avatar really needs to be modified (as I've opined earlier in this thread), but not for anything remotely considered racist. What's next? Big Bird calls me to complain about my avatar and Ozzie Smith lets FOTS know that he's off his rocker for insinuating that Omar Vizquel is the greatest defensive SS of all-time (he is off his rocker, but that's not the debate here)?

Respectfully, I don't think you're going to find support for your cause from the cheap seats (i.e., us) on this one. It seems like either a reach or a bit of hyper-sensitivity on your part. You're a New Yorker - where's your thick skin? :-)

Don't make me lead the board in a couple choruses of "Cumbaya."

Greek pizza is VERY good. Annother country that surprisingly has great italian food is Somalia, the italian influence goes back to the colonial days, and still remains... no joke.

Someone is getting their ***** handed to them 15-0 tonight, and I know its not the "red sux", who are about to pull within 3 1/2 of the yankee$ :lol

Vizquel lined out and is now only a mere 6-7 which drops him from godly to "god like"

Good news is though, Gerut and Martinez both hit 3 run shots in the 9th and god is down 22-0 and has been outhit 22-5. 190 million dollars should be able to buy god a 9th inning comeback lol

Guthrie retired the 9th in order to hand god the most lopsided loss in any sport in recent memory.

Alright I'll unignore you for this one...Your nervous because your team with its $180 million payroll or whatever ridiculous amount its at is now just 3 1/2 games up on the "red sux"....for $180 million you should be blowing the "red sux" away. And you know what, I can live with the Rangers being at home in October.....just remember we werent expected to even be a .500 team this year, much less be in the race into September....the yankee$ were predicted by just about everyone to win it all.

but the red sux have a 125 million dollar payroll thats hardly chump change. its to bad the texa$ ranger$ aren't going to make it.

btw i'm not nervous the yankees are still in first place and have the next 10 at home. this game only counts as one.

Again, you show your.....well i wont say it, I dont want this thread closed. But come on man, at least show a little originality...texa$ ranger$? You can do better than that. As for the Sox, sure they have a $125 mil payroll...but thats not $180. And it is too bad we probably wont make it this year..I'd love to see us go into yankee stadium and show those cocky fans what a real team is. But, we actually have players on our team under 30, so we arent built for this year.

Yep...real original..and I know exactly what your trying to do too, but its not gonna happen. We'll have a shot next year, and the year after that, and 5 years from now....when the yankee$ are struggling because they have absolutely nothing in terms of decent prospects or young players on their roster.

what do we need decent prosepcts for? as long as mr steinbrenners money is green we have an advantage over most of baseball.

i have to say this 22-0 game does bother me a little bit but i keep telling myself it only counts as one game.

I just dont see how its fair for one team to be able to have a payroll about 9 times as much as another team. And the Yankees arent the only team. Boston, and all the other teams with payrolls above about $100 mil or so. Obviously we are gonna disagree on this issue.

God is making the playoffs are the indians?
I wouldn't be so sure that the Yankees will make the playoffs with their starting pitching.

So I agree that you two are never gonna agree so lets all stop now. PLEASE

yeah you guys had a shot this year and who knows when you will again.

How about next year?

They're still in the Wildcard race and are a young team that's getting better...not a team of veterans on their last legs.

I know that trying to discuss baseball with a Yankees fan is generally equivalent to talking to a wall, but I wouldn't worry about Texas not contending. They weren't supposed to this year, and they're already ahead of schedule.

I wouldn't be so sure that the Yankees will make the playoffs with their starting pitching.

I really dont see any way they will actually miss the playoffs, unless they just completely implode. Main reason for this is that I believe they play Toronto and Tampa a lot down the stretch. They will get in the playoffs, but how long they last is the real question, IMO.

Dunno. I see the Red Sox overtaking the Yankees in the East. In the Wild Card they have the A's, Angels, and Rangers to contend with. (Even though the Rangers are fading.) Put it this way, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Yanks miss the playoffs. And if they do, I picture them losing in the first round.

I'd love to see them miss the playoffs completely(imagine the headlines in NY :D ), but I dont see it happening. Whoever comes in 2nd in that division will take the Wild Card, IMO. And sadly, yes, we are finally fading..the lack of starting pitching has finally caught up with us. We were able to avoid it all season, but I think losing Rodriguez to a broken elbow was the preverbial "straw that broke the camel's back"...but we've got next season to look forward to :handclap:

At the rate that the Red Sox and Angels are preforming, making the playoffs for the Yankees isn't even a sure thing anymore.

i have to say this 22-0 game does bother me a little bit but i keep telling myself it only counts as one game.

But if the Yankees won 22-0, the Yankees are collectively God...

My God I hope something dramatic happens heading into the playoffs so that the nerds I mean Athletics get first crack at the Yankees.

If anybody is going to take down the Yankees, it's going to be small-market small-budget uncursed nerds doing it.

Or the Cardinals will make it through the NL and just pound the Yankees with their playstation-esque lineup. Cuz we know the Braves aren't beating the Yankees anytime soon.

why not have an irish drunk with a beer with a red sox suck shirt? Why not a black man eating watermelon for a atlanta falcons suck avatar? Oh but its ok to make fun of italian new yorkers?

Speaking of Ethnics...

Anybody notice the best players right now on the Yankees are all ethnics?

2 out of their 4 best positional players aren't even American (Matsui and Posada), not to mention the fact that the only starter that's not being hammered right now is CUBAN.

Texas may not be in it again next season. They had there shot to go for it and sadly they choose not to add any pitchers. its to bad because i really wanted to play them in the first round.

The Yankees will make the playoffs, but they're pitching might be their downfall.

You dont understand the simple concept of what a young, rebuilding team is. Our team overachieved this year, I'll be the first to admit that. We chose not to add a pitcher because the asking price was ridiculous...Colorado wanted Ian Kinsler(SS who has hit .400 between A and AA and is gonna cause Soriano to get dealt this offseason) and Frank Francisco(great young setup man) for Shawn Estes....come on now. Teams were asking for the moon for average starting pitchers who wouldnt make that much of a difference anyways. Im glad Hart stood pat and didnt trade great young prospects for average rent-a-players. We overacheived...our time is next year, and 2 or 3 years down the line when our top pitching prospects(John Danks and Thomas Diamond) are ready.
yeah your time is next year :shakehead

how do you even know the rangers will be in it? the angels will be improved the a's are always in it something tells me texas will once again be on the outside looking in but thats a familiar postion for a feeble franchise.

Ok this is weird...you quote me, but your post is listed before mine now :dunno: ...as for what you said....again, you dont know the concept of a young, improving team. We will be better next year...Blalock and Teixiera arent close to their primes yet, Nix will play every day in CF, Gonzalez will be playing 1B(you'll hear about him next year)...but as a Yankee fan, you dont know the concept of a young player imporving from year to year..how could you when your team is filled with players over 30. We are 1 solid pitcher away from definately contending for the AL West..ask anyone here who doesnt have a personal vendetta against the Rangers, like you do. Our offense is the best in the division, and will only get better...our bullpen is #1 in the AL in ERA, and will only get better. Please, provide something other than personal attacks such as "texas will once again be on the outside looking in but thats a familiar postion for a feeble franchise" as your argument as to why the Rangers wont contend next year.

As a friend of many Red Sox fans I am getting pretty excited. I can't wait to see how they get their hopes and dreams get shattered this year.

We will be better next year...Blalock and Teixiera arent close to their primes yet, Nix will play every day in CF, Gonzalez will be playing 1B(you'll hear about him next year)...but as a Yankee fan, you dont know the concept of a young player imporving from year to year..how could you when your team is filled with players over 30. We are 1 solid pitcher away from definately contending for the AL West..ask anyone here who doesnt have a personal vendetta against the Rangers, like you do. Our offense is the best in the division, and will only get better...our bullpen is #1 in the AL in ERA, and will only get better. Please, provide something other than personal attacks such as "texas will once again be on the outside looking in but thats a familiar postion for a feeble franchise" as your argument as to why the Rangers wont contend next year.
yeah because i didn't watch jeter, williams riveria, pettite, soriano posada develop not to mention roberto kelly, pat kelly, jim leyritz and sterling hitchcock from the early 90's. :shakehead

i don't have a personal vendetta againts the rangers. this from a guy who has never posted anything postive about the yankees. the texas rangers are a feeble franchise. Wow two years of rebuilding and people are supposed to forget how the texas rangers ruined the salary structure in baseball. Funny when i look at the texas rangers history i don't see a world series title all i see is three first round postseason efforts. (what team beat them all three times?)

even if the rangers do improve does that mean the angels or a's won't? who knows maybe seattle comes back next year and plays like they have in years past!

You dont understand the simple concept of what a young, rebuilding team is. Our team overachieved this year, I'll be the first to admit that. We chose not to add a pitcher because the asking price was ridiculous...Colorado wanted Ian Kinsler(SS who has hit .400 between A and AA and is gonna cause Soriano to get dealt this offseason) and Frank Francisco(great young setup man) for Shawn Estes....come on now. Teams were asking for the moon for average starting pitchers who wouldnt make that much of a difference anyways. Im glad Hart stood pat and didnt trade great young prospects for average rent-a-players. We overacheived...our time is next year, and 2 or 3 years down the line when our top pitching prospects(John Danks and Thomas Diamond) are ready.

Because they don't rebuild. It's like restocking shelves, but getting more expensive products every year.

I love what Texas is doing, because it's what the Indians did in the mid-90s and it brought us lots of success. John Hart's blueprint continues to work.

You cannot even begin to talk to a Yankee fan about baseball. That's the whole problem. They're so full of their team not releasing what it does to the game. I think the Yankees are more of a black eye than anything else, but, obviously this comment will be met with harsh resistance. And if Steinbrenner reads this, perhaps he can get the best lawyer money can buy on me for slander or something. I loathe New York.

yeah the mid 90's were great for the indians how many world series did that bring cleveland :lol oh wait :lol oh thats funny

yeah the yankees are a huge blackeye for baseball but not when other owners pocket the luxary tax money the yankees contribute. i also loved the sell outs in cleveland last week when lets go yankees could be heard over the tribe faithful. yeah you can't talk to a yankees fan about rebuilding because from 90-93 the yankees were rebuilding. :shakehead

Yeah because the A's have beaten the yankees in the postseason :lol

1. Just because something hasn't happened before, doesn't mean it will NEVER EVER happen again. That's just inductive reasoning at its worst.

2. You don't think Oakland has ANY chance? Contrary to popular belief, the Oakland team is actually quite good defensively with Kotsay in Center and Chavez at 3B. And their starting staff is so much better than the staff of the Yankees.

Hudson and Mulder are as good as a 1-2 punch as ANY in the league, and whiel Zito has regressed a bit, Harden and Redman has picked up the slack.

Yanks have a great bullpen, and the Oakland one is shaky at best.

Im talking about NOW...who on that roster is under 30 and was developd within the yankee system? Apparently saying I dont see any way at all the Yankee$ miss the playoffs isnt positive...right :shakehead . And will a mod please talk to this guy about comments like this: " three first round postseason efforts. (what team beat them all three times?)"....what other reason for that is there other than to troll and start a flame war?

More trolling :shakehead

Genious....and this guy claims he's 26...wait for it.....wait for it..... :lol

Texas may not be in it again next season. They had there shot to go for it and sadly they choose not to add any pitchers. its to bad because i really wanted to play them in the first round.

You dont understand the simple concept of what a young, rebuilding team is. Our team overachieved this year, I'll be the first to admit that.

That's half the fun for me... and if they do win it all, it will be the greatest day in the history of sport, the city of boston may burn to the ground, but there will be peace on earth and theo epstien will be given the congressional medal of jesus by our new president Howard Zinn . Glory days are on the way!!!!

Texas is a great young team IMO. Did you have a feeling that ditching A-rod would bring the team together the way it did? I'm curious about your perceptions because I was surprised they turned around so quickly.

Tough to count out a team with 3 players with 100 rbi's already and will have 40 hr's. Pujols, Rolen and Edmonds are absolutely on fire not to mention Walker. Great pick up. As long as the pitching holds up ( Ankiel's return could be interesting) they have to be the favorite. :amazed:

I thought they would improve this year, and maybe, if everything went perfect, have a shot at reaching .500....I never thought they had any chance to be where they are now.
