Limbaugh is presenting similar scenarios....

[CollegeRepublican]

Rush Limbaugh just mentioned a scenario similar to this. Did you send it to him?

[CollegeRepublican]

Damn your fast....

[ampat]

I don't follow baseball at all. Is this similar to the New Jersey Senate fiasco. If so, why don't they get a team made up of Torricelli, Lautenberg, Baker, Menendez,Tony Soprano, and a few of those mob/union construction guys who never do any work.

[LisaFab]

Priceless. Go Yanks!

[lysie]

LOL.

[Yankee]

The Yankmees can be beat but not if you do stupid stuff like Not putting in you 99 mph closer when you need one out in the eigth and then using him in the 9th.

Just like Sweet Lou blowing it by not sending in his defensive replacement for Al Martin in the 8th inning last year and then having a truly awful Al Martin in LF not make a catch that led to at least 5 runs that inning. Game over, series over.

Ask yourself how many times the last 3 years the Yankees, even with dominant starters and bullpen, they looked like they were going to go down only to take advantage of a stupid play, choke job, or bad managerial decision?

You could have expressed your opinion, as well as the opinion of those who think like you, much more succinctly, and with far fewer key strokes, had you done so thusly:

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! It's not FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIR!

Clemens is lucky this is the American League, or he'd have to bean himself.

Don't count the Halos out so fast. Last night was Weber's fault, throw four bad pitches to Soriano after getting him 0-2. Add in Spezio and Fullmer having the "Deer in the Headlights" look, those were the only bad things I saw from that team last night.

Remember, the Angels started 6-14 and were declared dead. They have either set or come close to a season record for comeback wins this year.

Spezio will have it together tonight; Wooten will DH against against the Lefty, and at some point in this series, Weber will do what he has done all year; set up Percy by getting 2-4 outs in the 7th or eigth inning.

They should have won last night, and they may end up losing the series against the Yankoffs, but they won't go quietly.

Angels Manager, Mike Sciosa – “We just cannot win this series.”

Noting that Democratic control of the Senate is at stake in the Nov. 5 general election, Mr. Torricelli said: "I could not stand the pain if any failing on my part will do damage to the things and the people that I have fought for all of my life."

[GnL]

Good one. The only problem is, that 95% of the population wouldn't understand the analogy and would just be arguing that baseball sucks and that the NFL rules.

[TomB]

This is very, VERY good.

I like Clemens starting against himself.

[MeekOneGOP]

heh heh !

I never said anything wasn't fair, or the Yankees get favorable treatment, or any other bullbleep.

All I said was the Yankees could be beat but their opponents keep making mistakes and the Yankees take advantage of it.

If that's whining you've never had children.

[Freemyland]

But that's what makes the Yankees the better team. They don't make the stupid play, choke job or bad managerial decisions the other teams do.

[L,TOWM]

to win AND have class

Dude, what are you smokin'?

I still remember the beer cups, at least one filled with urine being thrown onto Greg Vaughn in the '98 World Series. I remember the reports of the players wives being threatened and cursed in the foulest language available. The name Eddie Whitson ring a bell for you Yankoff fans? How 'bout the World Series that was lost, except for the intervention of a kid and a myopic umpire.

Please, the Bronx Bummers have a great history, and have had a heck of a run, but don't ever try to equate class with that organization and the gatherings of 10's of thousands of dangerous thugs that are known as "Yankee Home Games".

[Registered]

This was great. bttt.

[Yankee]

All I said was the Yankees could be beat but their opponents keep making mistakes and the Yankees take advantage of it.

And that's the sign of a champion. The ability to take advantage of your opponents failure at a crucial moment.

The Yanks were on the flip side of that equation last year.

Remember, they had the game in hand until Mariano unloaded a throw past Jeter into center field.

Then the D-Backs capitalized.

That's the way it goes.

So now I'm not a whiner or am I still I whiner? To qoute a famous NY phrase "You F$@&*^g Pr$%k 'ya".LOL
