SLAYER Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) that you heard was the flushing of New York teams of having any hopes of making the playoffs this year. They both need to retool their teams and plan on playing spoilers(if even that is possible). Edited June 25, 2008 by SLAYER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxfactor Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Lets Go Bucs !!!! After looking at the topic of this thread, it very well could have been about the Pirates taking their yearly midseason swim around the toilet bowl. They are tanking once again. Surprised? Meh.

They are tanking once again. Surprised? Meh. Well, they got swept following the break, but, have come back with two wins. They are still heading in the right direction and playing good baseball considering the talent that they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAYER Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 I am ashamed and sorry that I ever doubted my Yankees. But they have retooled their team and ready for the drive. now the Mets are a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whomper Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Joba and Mariano were awesome the other night. Beckett too. That was a great game to watch for a person who is a fan of neither team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I hate the Yankees. Every year is the same - slow out of the gate, talk of multiple crises and then a second half that gets them to the playoffs with games to spare. The only good thing is that they consistently lose then (for the last 8 years or so anyway). The sooner a proper salary cap is put in place, the better.

SLAYER Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 (edited) Hey Shiek, Wagner blows another good Johan performance. What does the bullpen have against Johan, that they can't hold his leads. Looks like we have another Met fade coming because: Your bullpen blows.

Looks like we have another Met fade coming because:Your bullpen blows. Saw an interesting stat on another board yesterday. Given a reasonable set of circumstances on offense and bullpen, Johan SHOULD be 17-4 this year. The fact is, Johan is still pitching as well as he did with the Twins. He either hasn't had the run support or bullpen support and that's why he's 9-7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He either hasn't had the run support or bullpen support and that's why he's 9-7. Being a Johan owner I know all to well what he should be and what he actually is. He went something like 9 or 10 straight starts with either a loss or no decision because of lack of offense or sucky bullpen. Truth, also is he is no longer a power strikeout pitcher.

You're right about the Ks, that's plain for all to see on the stat sheet. Twins didn't try very hard to keep Johan because they were concerned about the number of years he wanted plus it would have reduced their flexibility too much, of course, being a small market team. Where the Twins went wrong was overplaying the Johan trade hand although I'm still optimistic Gomez will pan out and one of the other three will become a big league player. Johan is still a serious asset to the Mets - they have to figure out how to strengthen their aging offense and get some better bullpen arms. Sanchez and Schoenweis ain't cutting it.

Looks like we have another Met fade coming because:Your bullpen blows. It's kinda funny how every time Wagner blows a save they schedule an MRI. "There must be something wrong with him!!!" Yeah, he's 5 years older than the pitcher he was in Philadelphia. Heilman is a disaster, and Duaner Sanchez can't seem to step up his performance in high leverage situations. It's disappointing, but IMO, no one is beating whichever team comes out of the Central anyway. . .so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAYER Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 If Joba misses more than 2-3 starts the Yankees are sunk. They just do not have anybody that can replace Joba. The best they got is Hughes coming off the DL and who knows how that is going to work. They will have to score 8 runs or more two out of every five games just to have a chance at winning. don't know if they can handle a Joba injury.

jaxfactor Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Well, they got swept following the break, but, have come back with two wins. They are still heading in the right direction and playing good baseball considering the talent that they have. Now Nady goes to the Yanks and Bay goes to the Bosox. You know how sick and tired I am of hearing "...considering the talent that they have.." They have had talent in the past and yet again this year, but they continuously rid themselves of it. And don't tell me about the prospects they got. If these prospects turn into bonafide Major Leaguers, then they eventually end up somewhere else as well. Makes me ill. Same old story. 9 games under .500 and sinking fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
