I made a similar comment to someone last night that if the Yankees beat the Angels, someone needs to add up all the millions of dollars he spent to get it. And they still gotta get by the Phillies, which will not be an easy task.

Yeah, it WAS a funny line, but actually their math sucks; because the Yank-me's haven't been to the show since they lost to the Diamondback's twin pitchers Randy Schilling in '01. So they need to recalculate the time and money spent. You remember the bit about Gonzo's chewed gum on E-bay?

Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling Just trying to save keystrokes

And hopefully, Charlie Manuel knows what it's gonna take to slow down A-fraud. He needs to be drilled one time in the ribcage. That will stop him from diving for those outside pitches, because I know deep down in his heart, he's still afraid of being hurt. This year it's almost like the league has said "You can't pitch him inside because he's scared of those pitches." Screw the Bonds' style treatment of intentionally walking him. Go the Don Drysdale route: "Why throw four pitches to put him on first when all it takes is one?"

Kinda where I thought you were going with that, but wasn't sure. :lol:

Well, Phillies' fans, it appears Charlie Manuel has taken leave of his senses. He's gonna start Pedro in game 2 in NY. This is the same Pedro who once pronounced: "I guess the Yankees are my Daddy.". Can you hear the chants now? Clap...Clap...clapclapclap!! "Who's Your Daddy?" Clap...Clap...clapclapclap.

Yeah, 2004 when he was a much better and stronger pitcher.Do you really think that he's NOT gonna hear that chant? Don't get me wrong, the ONLY 2004 Red Sox player I dislike is Johnny Damon(Looks like Jesus, Acts like Judas, throws like Mary). I will forever be grateful to Pedro for what he did for my Sox. But I really think Manuel should hold Pedro until game 3 in Philly

And start who? Cole Hamels is stinking up the joint. Pedro pitched 7 strong innings against the Dodgers.

The Dodgers lineup is not even in the same zip code as the Yankees. I would start Blanton for one reason. Beside Pedro, he is the ONLY starting pitcher
with enough balls to drill A-Rod and then stand there and DARE him to come out to the mound. The Twinkies didn't do it. Neither did the Halo's. Instead they gave him the Bonds treatment. I will be willing to bet one lung and one testicle that the "clutch" hitting will stop as soon as he knows that his ribs will be sore every time he tries to dive for that outside pitch. And Blanton is JUST the guy to do it.

It is part of the game that alot of nonplayers and coaches dont understand. I told a Philly fan here at work that if I was coaching the Yanks that I would have C.C. throw a 95 mph fastball into the ribs of Howard.

A.J. needs to hit someone early tonight. It will set uo that nasty curvball he has.

It's all about the old adage that the hitter can have the inside half of the plate but the outside half belongs to the pitcher. It seems that was forgotten in the ALDS and ALCS. Jeter gets hit all the time because he dives out for the outside half. Have you ever seen him do anything but walk to first?

I do not advocate this at the 13 and 14 yearold leavel but,This year in L.L. the Hughesville coach had his pitcher hit my best player. I know this for a fact because I was coaching 3rd and heard him tell his players before he went out to the mound to tell his pitcher. I went out to player after he got hit and told him to keep his mouth shut and just go to firstbase and that we will get him back. I think you remember my best player and how hard he throws, so when there best hitter came to the plate the next inning he got a fastball in the ribs, and all of their players, coaches and fans had a fit except their head coach because he expected it.

Did anyone catch the game last night? What was the score? Hopefully the Yankees won at home in their Billion Dollar new stadium, with their billion dollar players. Who many Homers did A-Rod get? Was Kate hudson cheering him on from the stands.?

Hey Kate, what color is the sky in your universe? It is done by REAL players and REAL coaches every day of the season. It is not thuggery. It is used to teach lessons. Don't dive out over the plate. Don't stand there and watch the flight of the ball. And if you hit one of mine, I'll hit one of yours. As long as you keep the ball above the knees and below the neck, there are no issues. It's the way the players police each other without interference from the umpires. Why do you think the umps wait until the 2nd one gets hit to issue the warning???? And this IS from a REAL coach sweetie.

By the way..........Say hello to Goldie and tell your dad that I loved his old TV show. They showed proper reverence to the Stooges.

The sky in my world is blue, I suspect it is brown in your world with your head so far up your ass. You are a total idiot. Intentionally throwing at a batter is bush league even for a panty wearer like you. You're too stupid to understand what Rule 8.02(d) is, which isn't surprising for a thug such as yourself.

Okay, Katie, I'll tell you what......You go find JPC and smcop and every other pollyanna on this forum and sit around the campfire holding hands and singing "kumbaya"; while the real men play baseball the way it is supposed to be played. I bet you're the kind that thinks that we shouldn't keep score so that nobody feels bad about themselves. And maybe we should outlaw football, hockey and boxing too, huh Katie? I guess Goldie took a liiiiiittle too much LSD while she was pregnant with you hmmmmm?

Throwing at hitters is part of baseball, hardball, and is an appropriate part of the game. To some extent.

That extent, whatever it may be, is another part of the game. It IS hard ball.

:buddies:

From THE man, Bob Gibson;

"I heard he (John Milner) could hit." (Reply to Hank Aaron when asked why he hit Milner)

"When I knocked a guy down, there was no second part to the story."

Of pitchers;

"Barry Bonds? I'll tell you what, if he hit a home run off (Bob) Gibson or (Don) Drysdale and stood and admired it, they'd knock that earring out of his ear the next time up." - National League Umpire Doug Harvey

"He (Bob Gibson) couldn't pitch today because they wouldn't let him. The way he'd throw inside, he'd be kicked out of the game in the first inning, along with guys like Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax." - Red Schoendienst



"When it came to winning 'the big game,' there were few pitchers who compared with Bob Gibson. As outstanding as the St. Louis Cardinals' scowling right-hander was at other times, he was at his most ferocious when the spotlight shined brightest." - Larry Schwartz (ESPN.com)


Gird your loins. Grab your weapon. And don't dig in too deep.

You are so full of sh!t your eyes are brown. You claim you would direct your pitcher to throw to injure a batter and say it was part of the game and that is pure bullsh!t. Brushing a batter back or making him eat some dirt is part of the game but not intentionally trying to hurt anyone, that is what is bush league. And I am certain that you are not a coach or never played beyong t-ball, if you are a coach you should give it up and go back to what you do best, self fornicating.

Let's take em point by point. 1st, my eyes are still blue after 53 yrs. 2nd I never said injure, Katie. Will it hurt? Sure, for a few minutes. But unless it's your boyfriend A-fraud, a real man will get over it quickly. 3rd, I really am a baseball coach Katie. And not just at the Little League level(And that is not meant to denigrate Little League). And as satisfied as my wife is with my endowment, I don't think it's long enough to do thaaat!!! Have a nice day.

Okay, as far as the game goes, Charlie was a not as crazy as I thought. Pedro actually did much better than I thought he would in that venue. Against another pitcher he just might have pitched well enough to win that game. Giving up just 3 runs at the opponent's home field should be good enough to win more than you lose. Unfortunately, his offense ran into a buzz saw with a curveball.

WHO'S YOUR DADDY...... WHO'S YOUR DADDY..... :yahoo:

:pete: A-Rod struck out twice and popped out once vs. Pedro.

Will it hurt? Sure, for a few minutes. But unless it's your boyfriend A-fraud, a real man will get over it quickly. Yeah, are you saying that no one has ever been seriously injured from being hit by a pitch. Deliberately doing so is still thugary. 3rd, I really am a baseball coach Katie.

It's funny how you claim how you would direct a pitcher to handle A-Rod, but it seems the real coach has his pitchers pitching to him which has been the best tactic of all. He's 0-8 with 6 Ks and yet you would put him on base. You must be a real baseball genius. :lmao:

The fact remains that intentionally throwing at a batter is bush league and if it was part of the game there would be no need for a rule against it.

The 9th inning last night was a heartbreaker. :sad:

That 2 base steal by Damon was pretty awesome though.

Step out from behind my MPD?


Ya gotta admit, this is just a tad funny. :lol:

Johnny Damon's at bat, a nine pitch masterpiece, definitely set the stage in that 9th inning. Then he hits a single!

He then takes off on a steal, notices there's NOONE covering third base, and takes the double steal! :yahoo:

Texiera gets hit, and then A-Rod comes through, as well as Posada! Way to go, Yankees!

It's not over yet, however - the Yankees are in the drivers seat now! :diva:

Hey Forsberg, wanna get your thoughts on how Manuel has handled(or failed to) the pitching staff. I'm really beginning to believe they won it last year in spite of him. He and Mike Hargrove screwed up the 1st WS he was in. And I hold him responsible for ruining Jaret Wright's career. Sending a kid that young out there to throw 120-140 pitches at the end of his 1st full season is unconscionable. He had some success later with the Braves, but he was never really the same.

Charlie has done this all year and I guess he is taking the if it ain't broke don't fix it approach. I give him a little credit he didn't put Lidge in last night. Lee needed to get pulled in last nights game he had given up 4 runs in the 8th inning. If the Yanks end up losing the series the Yanks manager is going to take alot of heat for starting his guys on 3 days rest.

Why is there always this almighty push for parity? First we level the playing field so EVERYBODY has a chance. Next we stop keeping score so the lesser team doesn't feel bad about themselves. If you can't afford it, don't get involved.

Well, Dear Yankee Fan, :lol: I am not pushing more parity nor much care. I long ago gave up on baseball. It was just a comment, an observation. Is there a level playing field in baseball? I don't think so.

So, does that matter?

So, congrats and enjoy! :buddies:

First, I will NEVER be a Yankee fan. Look to my av and know that he was my hero growing up. If the Yankees were to fall off the face of the earth I would die a happy man. I just hate what Pete Rozelle and his beloved parity did to football. I also hate that teams like the Yankees, Red Sox, Angels etc... who are trying to improve their teams have to pay a fine in order to improve. That fine is then split up amongst the "smaller market" teams. Now if those smaller market teams were forced to spend the money on developing their respective teams it would be such a bitter pill to swallow. But they get to spend the money how they see fit. And then they hold their respective cities hostage saying all will be better if we can get people to come to the new park you're going to build us so we don't move to Oklahoma City.

So, you are survival of the fittest on this, tigers battling sheep, etc?

How about them Yankees!!!!!!!!! :clap::yahoo::clap:

How about them Yankees!!!!!!!!! :clap::yahoo::clap:

Congrats. The best team won.

yes sir. I guess I am. Nothing infuriates me more than anowner who really doesn't give a #### about anything more than the bottom line in his ledger. A perfect situation is Pittsburgh. You can NOT tell me that the Pirates wouldn't have more asses in the seats if they were winners. Yet that SOB cries poor-mouth because the fans won't support us. And I can't build a winner because we're a small market. Bull####. Really?? Isn't this the same market that has the ummmmmmmmm Penguins? And what's the name of their football team? Oh Yeah!!! The Steelers. They've won a couple, haven't they? So if you can't afford it, sell it to someone who can and get the #### out of the way!

I want to rethink my reply in one aspect. That is the tiger/sheep analogy. I don't think that is a valid analogy. Sheep indicates an ignorance of the process through an innocence factor that just doesn't exist here. I think the more proper analogy would be tiger/jackal. Because these owners know the process they just want somebody to make the kill and then they come along and feed on the carcass.

How about them Yankees!!!!!!!!! :clap::yahoo::clap:

Shhhhhhhhhh. I'm in mourning.

Congrats. The best team won.

Shh..this will further solidify The Danny's thinking he can buy a championship. :ohwell:

Baseball salaries 2009;

Yankees; $200,000,000
Phillies; $120,000,000
Marlins; $36,000,000


There simply is not the room for the kind of disparity in the NFL that is necessary to 'buy' a title. If you're in baseball, you look at what the winners do; spend WAY more than everyone else.

In the NFL, look at what the winners do. Better teams by knowing football better. Same money.

Granted, Snyder is using the Yankee model; let the cream rise to the top. league wide, then try to buy it. It just doesn't work.

In the NFL . . . It just doesn't work.

No ####.

This is a resource argument. Other sports leagues have made it possible for Pittsburgh to compete with NY in terms of resources. Baseball has not.

2009 Yankee payroll; $200,000,000
Pirates; $48,000,000

2008 Giants; $115,000,000
2008 Steelers; $128,000,000

The Yankees earn something like $200,000,000 a year in local radio alone.

Congratulations Yankees fans!
