Meanwhile the Yankees have lost their 2 top offensive players in Matsui and Sheffield, Arod is hitting only .285 and their pitching for the most part has been cobbled together.Cobbled together? On a $250 million budget. For a 40 man roster, that comes out to an average of over $6 million per man.
Brian Cashman is the most overrated GM in baseball. He's spent over a billion $ of George's money over the past six years, with no WS titles to show for it.

.just stop tell the Boss to stop whining about how much a new stadium will cost (when the Stadium was done over in the seventies it almost drove NYC into bankruptcy).NYC will not be paying for the new Stadium. They will only be paying for the infrastructure for the area.

Gay rod and queer eye for the Damon guy are right where they belong. You Red Sox fans protests a bit too much in my opinion. What are you guys really hiding and in what closet.

One game does not a season make. Let's see who puts the trophy in the display case at the end of the year.

By "other options" you really mean "better options."
I'm not disputing Ortiz' ability as a hitter. I'm just saying a DH should never win the MVP. They have their own award and he positively deserves whatever that award is.

Why Vaquero, whatever do you mean?
To: frogjerk
Why mention a team that has played the Sox tough then try and say it doesn't matter that the Yanks had a losing record to them last year?
To: JoeA
Someone from the Central Division most likely.

Hey, man, we're not the ones carrying a purse.
To: wireman
So you don't think pitchers should ever win an MVP either?

Can you 100% guarantee that past/present Sox players were not/are not "juiced?"

The name of the game is going to be who's pitching staff can eat innings? Torre wasted his pen yesterday like a dope so he's going to have to hope that Wong goes 7-8 in game one.
Johnson sucks and will likely set the Sox pen back big time. Jack Welch has a commentary gig once a week on NESN and bashed the Sox for setting up their staff this way.

Eck was an alcoholic...
does that count?
And with respect to Giambi, his juicing cost the Yanks about 2 full years of productivity and money. NY fans obviously care about only one thing and that's winning.
