The Yankee farm system is depleted. The reason they had some much trouble getting Johnson was they didn't many prospects to offer.
What's the deal with the Orioles and the Nationals sharing a cable network?
You knew those covers were coming today.
Seattle and Texas did improve quite a bit after he left.
Thanks for the ping GSC:) I love to watch Steinbrenner squirm...he's done more to ruin professional baseball (imo) than anyone in this country...
GO RED SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep, addition by subtraction.
Even during the season opener, the Red Sox hit him hard. They were just hit to guys in the field.
How do I get on a ping list?
The Os beat the Yanks 5 times last season and they are already at 5 wins against them and it's only April. They always played the Sox hard but were meek against the Yankees.
Usually the Sox would split with the Yankees during the regular season but would lose the division to them because the Yankees would have a better record against the other AL East clubs.
I hope Nomar starts hitting for you guys.
Go Nationals!
We're better than the Yankees right now! ROFL. The Tigers are 5-7.
Those games are still save situations. Most teams will use their closers there.
That said, as a Twins fan for 35 years I am delighted to see the Yankees supporting the rest of their division.
I just found out last night that Detroit is hosting the All Star game this year.
I saw that. Was relieved too, because the big unit has a certain aura of "power." It's nice to see that deflated in the minds of the Sox batters.
Dead wood like Bernie, Giambi, Womack, Sierra, and the return of Tino Martinez?????!!!!! doesn't help them either. Not to mention acquiring the Curse of ARod. But as long as you're gonna have ARod -- who's a GREAT player, just cursed -- you should upgrade your defense by playing him at short instead of take two steps to his right backhand the ball jump in the air fall backward lob a throw to first base and get some fat catcher by a half step Jeter.
I don't know. I think it has something to do with O's owner, our mini-Steinbrenner, trying to screw the Nationals, anyway possible because the teams are 45 miles apart. It's "draining" revenue from the Orioles so he's trying to keep the team off the airwaves. Comcast Sports, our cable provider in parts of Maryland, has broadcast all of the O's games, as well as UPN network. The Nats are hurting for a local station to show their games that can be seen by all the area residents at once. We have several cable providers in the DC-MD-VA area. O's owner, Peter Angelos, has been putting pressure on anyone he can, from MLB on down, to mess up the Nats. That's about all I know.
