ho hum

The only thing I'm interested in is if the Yankes move Granderson to the 2, bench Johnson, and promote Montero. That's the lone storyline thus far

(edit:) well that, and the CC and Hughes' no hit bids

to early to tell yet w johnson. thing about johnson, he uses every at bat - goes deep into the count consistently, so there's something to be said for that. give it some time and see how he develops during the 1st third of the year.

I agree and I'm not saying I would do that... that's pretty much the only storyline I could see developing that would be remotely interesting

btw - you know i was being sarcastic with the ho hum stuff right? the yanks are pounding people right now - cant get better than this for us - if we keep the momentum, could be a special season and #28 right around the corner.

I know you were cracking a joke but humor hides the truth. 1996 and 2001 were infinitely more interesting seasons than 1998. This season could be that great--I firmly believe(d) that and I think previous posts evidenced this. This season will be great for baseball watching purposes. I'll always sign up to watch greatness.

But I do think it's funny that my only concern is whether or not the pitching staff will be able to pull off a no-no or not

Anyway, I just thought the ho hum comment (even though it was a joke) was an interesting opinion on the team, as it really does imply that everyone and their mother expects the Yanks to win every series this year... and the Rays are legit and surely Boston will improve

Mike Cameron is hot trash...Agree on that.

This is the future ace that we have pictured for the last several years. Wow.

Breakout game?

If this cat starts developing its game over for the AL.

the johan non deal gets better and better. sacrifice 1 year of playoffs for CC and parts that got us swisher and granderson. to go along with a developing hughes.

Yep. Ca$hman's avoidance of Santana turned out to be genius and a franchise-shifter. Another Mets, L...haha.

Thats what I kept saying- I don't think Johan was good enough to win us a ring. Missing the playoffs 1 year was no big deal when you're gonna start winning World Series the way we're about to once again.

I didn't catch this live yesterday? Anybody see it? Was it that big of a deal? The kid was flipping out in the papers about it this morning....A-Rod man..Jeez, always involved in some kind of controversy...LOL!

Hell naw it wasnt that big of a deal, I mean A-Rod just ran across the mound after the inning was over.

I know its one of those "unwritten baseball rules" that were carved in stone by the older baseball gods and all that bullshyt, but you should have seen the way Braden acted. He completely lost it and spazzed out. I could see saying something to A-Rod and all, but duke went nuts. Stupid as hell.
