Yankees are good
I think they had their time. I also believe they are under a great deal of pressure of late also. I would think it would be hard to maintain and work off so much raw emotion. After awhile this will wear you down to the point where the human body will suffer.
I am a Minnesota native and out of sheer nostalgia follow the Twins when I can and even attended a game when they played the Rangers here in the DFW area.
I like the A's. Look at their record and who in their division they had to trail all season. They are a really good team. I enjoyed watching them and hope they do well. I thoroughly enjoyed the game last night.
Bleh braves. Someone pound them into the dirt... LOL!
Hiway reg
*grumble* THEY ARE GOOD!!! Well, atleast they aren't 0 for the century like the Red Sox!!!
>>I also believe they are under a great deal of pressure of late also. I would think it would be hard to maintain and work off so much raw emotion. After awhile this will wear you down to the point where the human body will suffer.<<
Exactly, Hiway--I agree with you (except for the "they had their time" part) See, I explained to that disgruntled Red Sox fan Mike the TRUE reason the Yankees won't win. Due to what happened. It's because of everything that has happened, and now with there being more threats of terrorist attacks, the MLB commission ASKED the Yankees to throw their games and not win. Think of it, if they win and bring it back to NY, do you know how PACKED Yankee stadium would be? Or if they win, the parade? All kinds of important people will be there too--all sitting ducks for whatever kind of attack. No one is trying to bomb Oakland or whatever because that place is a dump..so the Yankees--the most WINNINGEST team in baseball history said, "Okay, for the safety of New York, we will sacrifice and go a year without winning the series. It will be hard since we haven't been accustomed to losing since the 80's but, we'll do it." Hence, the only reason what is happening, is happening.
No, this isn't just an excuse to help me cope with the Yankees losing, they told me this : P reg

I wonder what those of you stricken with Yankee-envy will say if/when they pull off what I would consider to be a great comeback and win three games straight...It *can* happen, folks.

Knock Knock. Anyone home? It's not that you stated your love of the Yankee's that elicited the reply of www.therapist.com it's your insane assumptions that it's rigged or whatever.
As I stated I like the yankees and thought there comeback is very admirable given the caliber of play against what I think is at least the 3rd best team in all of MLB. They have overcome a lot of obstacles.
If you would read your own original posts then maybe you might catch on to the parts that make absolutely no sense...

I wish I could see a championship by my team in my lifetime. ::mutter tribe:: reg
Uhm, okay...I think (or thought) it was pretty obvious that the only thing that was actually TRUE in my posts was that I am a Yankee fan, and there was a possibility of them coming back and winning 3 games straight. I seriously doubt that anyone thought I believed all that stuff I said about the games being rigged...It was just a (seemingly) humoruous attempt at making excuses for my team's losses--and yes I know your therapist.com link was because of my outlandish theory..I just mentioned that in my post because you were saying "they've had their time." Either way, again nothing in my posts was meant to be taken so seriously, it was all light hearted so why don't you quit with the unneccesary attitude Drizz--er I mean Hiway, and take a valium or something, sheesh. reg
Just for the record, I know you were just rooting for your team, but I still hate the Yankees and basically any other New York team. The only reason they ever win is because of their ability to be able to buy any player they want. Its really dumb so I look down on all their teams. Sorry just my oppinion even though it has always been a proven fact. And to be perfectly honest, I am a humongous hockey fan and I think it is hilarious that the Rangers picked up Eric Lindros. They have had the highest pay roll for the last 10 years yet haven't had a playoff birth in the last 5. Cracks me up how wasted the money towards the players are.
Lord Deprav
How bout those Wings? reg
>>Just for the record, I know you were just rooting for your team, but I still hate the Yankees and basically any other New York team. The only reason they ever win is because of their ability to be able to buy any player they want<<
Well, I have to disagree with you on one thing.. it seems the Knicks couldn't buy a win it seems if their lives depended on it *gaze* WHO SAID THAT?! : P
reg
Alright if it was such a problem in each sport thered be a salary cap, and if even if they do just have money who the hell cares the others teams owners are rich but cheap old men... and islanders suck jets suck knicks arent doin that well or werent so i dont know where you come to conclusion that all newyork teams are awesome....mutters something bout non newyork mooks reg
Yeah I totally forgot about the Islanders (most people want to) They are garbage on skates. But in their defense, atleast if by some major stroke of luck (or miracle more likely) they win the cup, atleast they won't have their parade around their parking lot like those bums in New Jersey.
Go Rangers
*hiding from the Devils fans* reg
First of all who cares about basketball. It is a sport that is dieing and won't be around for to many more years. They are going bankrupt compared to the other sports. Second of all New York always stretches the salary caps in all the sports. Thirdly, I take it your not a hockey fan weedmistress. Because the Islanders are going to be playoff contenders this year. Their team has dramitically improved. They have picked up Osgood, Peca, Kozlov, and Yashin which are all all stars and very highly paid players. Anyhow just prooving my point.
Lord Deprav
Go Wings! reg
Ehh! Don't disrespect Jersey. It's a much better state than at least Florida and Georgia and I suspect many others.

Hockey is not a real sport. yer wastin yer time there heh i saw a hockey allstar game 3 years ago have not watched so much of a highlight since reg
Hockey isn't but baseball is? Excuse me while I LAUGH my ASS off
------------------
I got no dukes. reg
Not really...I watch hockey strictly for the fights..heh...the rest kind of bores me..but from what I seen the past seasons from the Islanders... *shakes her head* I am willing to bet that *if* the Islanders make the playoffs, they get knocked out fairly early.
As far as basketball dying, got to disagree with you there..especially considering that MSG (Madison Square Garden for the unitiated) stays packed pretty much all season long for the Knicks (and as much as it rips my heart apart to say this, I will) is a barely above average team, shows that basketball has many fans. I heard on the radio that they are already sold out for their opening game at the Garden against the Wizards (let's pretend Michael Jordan has nothing to do with that, either..heh)
I won't get into the "real sport" debate because I can find something about almost any sport interesting enough to sit down and watch atleast a little--even, dare I say..FISHING.
But not golf though, I hate golf
reg
I didn't say baseball isn't a sport, but if you consider baseball a sport and not hockey...well there is something wrong with that logic. I agree on the golf thing, I consider it a game, not a sport. well, don't consider nascar racing a sport either, but that's just me...
------------------
I got no dukes. reg
That is two and three times I have had to agree with Zanagan over the past 30 days. What in Gods name is this world coming too! ::mutters stupid osgood and peca::
Also hockey is a very real sport. It is almost as big as baseball is. I love baseball but hockey has been around for nearly as long as baseball. It also brings in a ton more national TV coverage than baseball does.
Yah sure whatever the Knicks sell out everygame. But yah wanna know something? Those ticket sales are just to make an extra buck or two. Basketball on TV is dieing very quickly. The only reason Micheal Jordan has came back is do to the loss of interest. National TV will cover him without a doubt. I am sure ESPN has picked up a few games. And ESPN never carries NBA coverage. Maybe they sell out at their stadiums but they do not make their money becuase of lack of TV coverage and that is where money is made.
reg
I played hockey in school and at the AFA and it is much more demanding physically than many other "sports" I have played.
You be the judge. Go to a semi pro hockey game in a town near you for really good value and then observe for yourself the entertainment value.
I think a live hockey game is one of the most entertaining events you can go to for the money.
Hiway reg
Hockey is a big game in my family..most of my relatives play or used to play..its a very entertaining sport to watch live... watching on tv its still good if you appreciate the game..but its unreal to be their in person.

Zanagan, good thought, although the next game the yankees planned on winning. They knew they couldn't beat schilling or johnson, so they didn't want to pitch clemns till later on. Rusval, the yanks have another thing coming. reg

Yes the Yankees are good, but apparently the Diamondbacks are better. Let me show my immature side and say Nananananana! you guys couldn't buy a world series this year!

Rivera pitches Gonzuales hits one over Jeters head. The Diamondbacks win, the diamond backs win! reg
Watching the Yankees lose last night was about ALMOST as fulfilling as the thought of my Red Sox one day winning the series. Schilling/Johnson/Counsel/Womack/Gonzalez/Finley...thanks!

As disappointed as I am, I guess it's about time that that filthy, white trash, hill billy Randy Johnson got a championship; he deserved at least one in his career.
Sonic reg
I thought the nicest part of last night wasn't the game itself...but when we went outside to celebrate a bit. We could here Yankees suck chants coming from all directions. One of my friends in Boston said the town was going crazy, you'd have thought the Sox had won. reg
Did someone mention the Sox and winning in the same breath?
Hoooooo.....now thats funny.
Good one (wiping away a tear) reg
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Well, as the old saying goes, the sun shines even on a dog's ass sometime..such was the case last night, as that one costly throw by Rivera was the nail in the coffin. I will give credit where it is due, the Diamondbacks are a good team. Next year belongs to the Yankees though, you heard it here first.
You can't win them all...but you can win most of them--who's the "most winningest team in major league baseball"?!?
reg
Now you know how us Indian fans have felt for over 50 years now. "Wait till next year" is alway our response. And maybe they are the most winning team in baseball history but thats what happens when they spend the most on salary caps every year.

No, no, Rusval, don't say that!! If that happens, who are we going to laugh at next year when the Yanks win it all?
reg
Heh.
I'm glad someone _other_ than the Yankees won.
The Yankees were the best team in baseball. And they lost.
It's the same way it used to be when I lived in Chicago. Who liked the Bulls winning all the championships all the time? No one. But they were _still_ the best. reg
I personally think Seattle was the best team in the league this year. They yankees just squeaked by them. And the yankees did not deserve to win the title this year. Being from north Jersey, obviously I'm an NY fan, but I give credit where it is due. Dbacks outplayed em fair and square. If it weren't that ridiculous excuse for a pitcher, Kim, it wouldn't have even gone 6 games.
Sonic reg
After that fluke this weekend from the losers of east lansing, the one thing that could cheer me up was the fact that the yankees didn't win this year.
I thank you New York. You brighten my day.

First of all the Yankees were not the best team in baseball. The Seatle Mariners had the best regular schedule record. And Second another proven fact they were, They Didn't Win The World Series! And yah know what? Who cares about all of the previous seasons? What counts is who is winning now and in the future!
Lord Deprav reg
feh just what we need another southerner holdin a title reg
If it makes you feel any better, any of yous, Bud Selig ask the Montreal Expos and the Florida Marlins team to fold this coming next year. And if I do not remember correctly, the Florida Marlins wanted to go out and spend the big buck early and look where it took them.
