lb3g4m3rcyl 0 Posted October 7, 2006 HAHAHAHA. It took three days for the Yankees' season to implode. The Yankees shuffled their lineup Saturday, looking for a spark. Jeremy Bonderman quashed that, pitching Detroit into the ALCS with an 8-3 win. Final Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Justy2 0 Posted October 8, 2006 Oh don't cry Yankee fan... I mean it's not like you just spent $200 million and got punked by a team who lost 119 games 2 years ago. Oh sorry... Well at least you have A-Rod. Congrats Detroit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DamageIncVacc 6 Posted October 8, 2006 Die HArd Yankee fan here. Congrats TIgers. Pitching always beats hitting. Agreed. And team chemistry is also important . Yankees had none. Not a suprise here. Bunch of spoiled millionares. Detroit was playing for there supper and they had the heart my team did not. I hope the Yankees take a long look at this roster and do something . We need the Paul Oneils and Berniee WIlliams types here. Players with heart. If half the team had the heart of a Jeter. Again Good luck Tigers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darb33 0 Posted October 8, 2006 Yankee fan here and the solution to the Yankees' problem is really simple. Keep growing talent and slowly weed out some of the high priced free agent signings of the last few years. Doing this will help alot imo. Just too many superstars for it to work. And in doing this you also keep your young players and start to build something for the future. Not trading Cano or Wang in 2005 was the way to go even though many said trade them. Now look at the year those 2 guys had. Cabrera deserves to be in the lineup everyday next year so they better figure out a way to make that work. And this pitching staff is obviously mediocre at best. Other than Wang and Rivera who can be counted on? Good luck to the Tigers, kind of nice to see some "new blood" in the ALCS.(but I'm still pissed about it) And last but not least, don't trade A-Rod. He is one of the best players in the game and the fans in NY need to catch a damn clue. He can and will thrive in NY just get off his back and let him do his job. You can't expect him to get a hit everytime he steps into the box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I last went to the Tiger's last playoff game in 1987. Wish I could have gone to one this year. Keep it going Tigers. Time to beat the A's and win another series. GO TIGERS!

But this team is NO TEAM, it's a bunch of overpaid players who can't play clutch. You shold be excited yankee fans, they'll be moving A-Rod now. That is to your advantage!

Pound 0 Posted October 8, 2006 Tigers, you give us Twins fans something to continue to root for. I think any team that defeats the evil empire in the post season becomes everyone's favorite team of the day. Reminds me of the resepect the 4 heros were shown at the end of the last southpark episode where they took on the evil PK in world of warcraft. Glad the "yankee game" got moved to the next morning because of the rain-out. Leyland is right that the Tigers caught some breaks and thats prob the only way you beat a world-beater like the yankees and make it look relatively easy. Leyland was more emotional that usual today. You hear him call out Toree for that extend-the-inning-by-multi-pitching-change-and-break-bonderman's-perfect-game move when he was interviewed? Funny Stuff.

He can and will thrive in NY just get off his back and let him do his job. You can't expect him to get a hit everytime he steps into the box. Not a hit evertime he steps into the box but at least something better than this........ 1-for-14 with no RBI in the series. He was hitless in his final 12 at-bats, dropping to 4-for-41 (.098) with no RBIs in his last 12 postseason games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a Yankee fan you took the words right out of my mouth. Even if you hated the Yanks you respected them. Those are the types of players we need. Especially the guys with HEart .Unfortunatly all yankees except Mussina and Bernie Williams are under contract. So expect to see the Yankees sign Zito , Only hope is to get pitching. A-Rod becasue of the no trade clause and HUGE contract will not go anywhere. Who would pay that kind of money excpet Boston or NY Mets and NO WAY the yankees do that. Only option would be to eat a huge part of that contract and Stienbrener will not do that. Pay for him and see him on another team and possibly come back to haunt us say he is on the Angels.And A-rod is stubborn , he will want to stay to prove a point.

FAN OF STEEL 0 Posted October 8, 2006 God damn... All these Yankees haters love to revel in Yankee defeats instead of celebrating their own team's victories. I guess it's much easier to have so many teams to root for...anyone ousting the Yanks feels like a huge success instead of letting your season hinge on just your own team. Strange way to follow baseball. The Yanks were thoroughly outplayed...they didn't lose because of chemistry. Chemistry is OVERRATED. When the bats go silent for 3 straight games-you lose...simple as that. One thing though, it stings now, but we Yankee fans know that our team will be "back in the mix" again next year...and the year after that...and the year after that...and so on. Can any of you Yankees haters say that about your teams??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ras66not99 0 Posted October 8, 2006 No one happier than me in Northern New Jersey..... I'm surrounded by anal Yankee fans who don't see the problem with them signing every high priced talent that becomes available, they just use the excuse that hey all teams can do it..... It annoys me that the Pirates and Devil Rays of the world try to grow their talent while keeping a semi normal payroll so when their players eventually get good the Yankees can steal them... I'm glad that team got pimp slapped once again... nothing better than seeing that.... fock the Yanks Congrats Tigers Fans.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FAN OF STEEL 0 Posted October 8, 2006 Does "back in the mix" mean losing in the first round of the playoffs again and again and again... with the highest payroll in baseball every year? Nobody is impressed. It's not about impressing anyone...it's about having a quality team (that's still playing for something) to root for as the season winds down...and as far into the playoffs as they go. Yankee fans know they will have this almost every year and other fans wish their owners would do this for them. It's still more enjoyable to be eliminated from the playoffs than to have your team eliminated by mid July...And once in a while they actually do win it all (26 times). As for the "highest payroll" whine that is constantly heard from Yankee haters ...the Yankees don't make the rules regarding a salary cap...MLB and the players union do. Ask the players on small market teams if they want a salary cap to keep things more competitive...you'll hear a loud NO!! They know it would cost them $$. If they aren't concerned with competitive balance, then why should the Yankees and Steinbrenner care or be blamed for a lack of salary cap and competitive balance?? When most business owners put a lot of money back into their successful company people consider it smart business...when Steinbrenner does it he is considered a villain.

Maybe it was in my first post where i stated "The Yanks were thoroughly outplayed", or in thelast post where I was only stating some facts regarding the salary cap, and I guess you had no intelligent retort so you came up with, "...sounds like you are the one that is whining."

BirdBradyBobbyOrr 0 Posted October 9, 2006 Joe Torre is the greatest manager in MLB History. As a DIEHARD RED SOX FAN nothing would make me happier then watching the yanks fire Joe Toree and continue their losing ways with ARod. As far as the money aspect of baseball and the yanks having a huge financial advantage, I just don't see the relevance anymore. Florida has won twice, the Sox were substantially lower payroll then the yanks and we beat them, and the yanks team that DESTROYED the Sox with a 5 game sweep did not include the majority of the big name/big contract guys. In other words they played with more heart then us that series. Here's why I hate the yankees...today.. I have a lifetimes worth of hate but these reasons stick out. A-Rod - He's simply overrated and I will never look away from the fact that he cheated at the biggest moment of his baseball career with his Daniel Larussa Karate Chop of Bronson Arroyo. I've never seen anyone do that before, or since. He had a moment to make a decision and he cheated. If you are a yankee fan, would Donnie Baseball have done that, what about Jeter, or what about Paul O'Neil? O'Neil would have ran through Bronson. Jason Giambi - Admitted that he did steroids. Pure and simple he's a cheater also. The only reason he doesn't get the same crap as Barry Bonds is because Jason Giambi is white. I'm white by the way. The National media is on Bonds because he's black, they never attacked McGwire like that and they never attacked Giambi. Even here in San Diego, they attack Bonds viciously but look at Brian Giles, the guy used to hit 35-40 HR's a year, now he hits like 12, and the drop off happened right when they started testing, but he's white so he gets a free ride. Basically Giambi and his cheating along with the free ride he gets for it, sickens me. Gary Sheffield - Always been a jerk. I know this for a fact having heard of several Sheff incidents that people I know have personally experienced his awfulness. SO in closing, PLEASE FIRE JOE TORRE AND PLEASE KEEP A-ROD ON YOUR TEAM! You won't win if you do. My lifetime, 3 NBA Championships, 1 World Series, 3 Super Bowl Championships, in my lifetime for Boston. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
