  1. Bring up what young players? Their system is shot. Give Peraza and Cabrera more time? Sure. Cardinals? Shirley you can’t be serious. They have disappointed sure but they look like the have a clue. They will be back. The Mets already did what you say the Yankees should do. They beat you to the punch. The Yanks traded for Middleton and that was it. OMG! Padres? Ok there is a case. Add the Angels to that mix unless they somehow manage to keep Ohtani, but the Yankees are easily the most inept big money team in the league. The Padres have a decent pipeline and the Angels have Trout and a few young guys. In the off-season the Yankees either need to spend gigantic money and get it right or tear it down. IMO they should trade Cole for a ton of prospects if they find a buyer. Not sure who is buying, but Cole is legit. Judge needs to stay but I do feel bad for him. Maybe getting Montas and Donaldson back will……..never mind I can’t even joke about it.
  2. Yeah no I don’t really think it matters.
  3. Given the name of this thread I’m wondering who in here will be the first to bet the Ravens in a money line preseason game and put the kiss of death o them.
  4. So far no one said it was Dodson swinging the helmet. If no one saw it, Harty is the #1 suspect because he could have been dwarfed by the crowd.
  5. Or maybe not “develop” Andujar, Frazier and Bird or pay $$$$$$ to Donaldson and guys like him to avoid guys like Seager. Lol.
  6. @BADOLBILZ I’m quoting myself above to fess up to what turned out to be really bad preseason takes. The W Sox were clearly not “snake bit”. They had/have talent but there is A LOT missing somewhere. I’ll defend KC just a little as injuries hit their offense and they are coming around a bit and still young/talented. Witt is the goods. Their pitching? Oof. Baseball is hard to predict. With that said, it is clear that the Yankees are a big budget poorly run operation from top to bottom and relatively bereft of prospects. The MLB top 100 prospect list was just updated with NY only having #’s 78, 79, 80. All of them are OF. I think they fare slightly better with Baseball America but yikes. At least the Mets replenished a little. Their only hope for the next 3+ years is to spend huge. While the Cardinals are not in great shape by their high standards, they can flourish with a lot less angst. They don’t have 10 albatrosses on their roster. Cincy, Mil, and maybe the other two will present some challenges but Baltimore and TB are here to stay and your other two are better than you. 4th place will be a target for a few years.
  7. And he’s buying an arena league team in Albany.
  8. Double scapegoat maneuver. Nice.
  9. This is a strange post.
  10. @GunnerBill Since my post there have been six more. Three are involved in a discussion about Elam. Two of the other three are negative posts about White. One of those comes from a guy who has repeatedly called the Bills a poorly run organization while also starting a thread about the Yankees and in it calling them a well run organization. Yes, you read that right. The Yankees are well run and the Bills are poorly run. Obviously a warehouse full of salt grains on that one. The next is a post with veiled assertions about White’s “poor work ethic” as per WGR. His performance in his first few weeks off an ACL was “meh”. We should definitely draw conclusions from that as most people come back from ACLs and immediately succeed. The third….from a poster famous for being negative…..simply calls my post strange. I don’t know why but maybe it was about White. The fact that the poster made no effort to refute anything in it is interesting. Me personally? I’ll be rooting for White to succeed. I’m optimistic that he will. If he fails at least some people will be happy and maybe we can go out and sign the football equivalent of Giancarlo Stanton like a well run organization.
  11. You’re not rooting for Tre to fail, but make no mistake, a number of people are. They need a scapegoat and Tre is the Gabe Davis backup plan for some, For others he is the prime target. With Edmunds gone, there is a vacuum for an area to focus negativity. It was going to be Oliver but then he got signed. It has to be a reasonably prominent player so guys like Harty are out. Beane and McD are also prominent enough but not players. They will get hammered the minute we lose a game. Miller and Allen are immune and Diggs is for now. Those are really all of the potential candidates so it will focus on Gabe and White. White has been NOTHING but a humble team player with excellent performance from the moment he got here. He had a tough injury and is fighting his way back. Personally, I think all the signs are pointing in the right direction. But if he succeeds, watch out Stef….or Von. Allen is lucky he is the third rail because all this Hollywood crap and his Stay Puft marshmallow man look should really be reserved for post Super Bowl win hangover.
  12. IMO he will be fine and isn’t going anywhere. He seemed extremely upbeat on the sideline yesterday and the guy is an absolute pro.
  13. I thought he looked like a guy with a strong arm that made a bad play early and kept playing. He threw nice dropped TD as well.
  14. Personally I think Ateman is a made up name. ”I’ve been in the bathroom fourteen times today. I don’t know I ate man.”
  15. I agree he should have gotten a much longer sentence. I disagree that his sentence should be in part determined because he is a football player who has or could make a lot of money. I interpreted what you wrote as saying his earning potential should increase his sentence.
  16. Does Jan from Toyota only own one set of clothing?
  17. The Bills tend to favor those guys. It’s all Pozlusny had to offer.
  18. Wilson has nice hair.
  19. The cutaway guy in the Bob’s furniture studio could not possibly be more of a prototypical blowhard Bostonian know it all moron if he were wearing a Dave Cowens jersey.
  20. It is surprisingly fun watching them lose a preseason game.
  21. I’m pretty sure her life was impacted more than his life…..because her life no longer exists. For the love of Pete you can’t be real with that crap. While I agree passing judgement on anyone is folly, it is also important that as a society, we remove people like Ruggs from the general population in a way that sends a message. IMO that message should be we can’t afford to have our fellow citizens burned to death in their car so when you cause that to happen you will go away for a long time………so…….don’t. Thinking that Ruggs should go away for a long time is not “kicking him while he’s down”. All of the above is different than judging him as if we were the eyes of God. We should not do that. It’s not personal but he has to go.
