2007 New York Yankees post-season recap [serious posts only please]

good choice but im still way :-/ abt next season

i don't blame a-rod at all, esp when taking into account how meth-eyes giambi called him out last year for underperforming and not proving himself (and jeter and torre weren't really backing him up either), and no one came to his defense. compare it to jd drew, who sucked mightily most of the year but his teammate as far as i know never said anything against him. i thought this might happen, with a-rod having an awesome year, carrying the yankees much of the way, and then telling them to fuck off. i think it's kind of about the money but also kind of like, "oh now you like me? too little, too late!"

though a-rod is still a big douche, tbh.

yes, and a great player -- it'll be fun seeing him have a good postseason eventually (as Bonds did) and listen to the Stankee fans whine

stankee on my hang-low

fwiw i wish the yanks hadnt let a-rod go; he's had bad postseasons but so have most of the other hitters on the team--not to mention that if they had the kind of pitching that say cleveland (or boston) did/does, a-rods "choking" wld be less of an issue. and without him i dont know that the yanks wdve made the postseason this year.

(i mean i know im just repeating conventional wisdom for non-fans at this point but there are plenty of us yankee fans who dont write letters to the post complaining or whatever)

Yanks can still choose to swallow some pride and sign the guy anyway. ARod/Boras have been really careful in not saying that they want out of New York. The Steinbrenners are the people making it ugly by preaching about loyalty, but really, what's the difference between this and any other player who becomes a free agent and wants to test the waters?

Especially considering that they're throwing away 7-10 wins by letting ARod walk, which will probably be the difference between 1st and 3rd place in the AL East next year. It's not like there are tons of quality free agents on the market this year.

It'd be interesting though, if they traded for Santana, picked up another bat, and tried to win more through pitching/defense/speed. Ozzie Guillen would be proud!

Girardi was the best choice out there but this is about as far from the 06 Fish as you can get.

The Steinbrenners are the people making it ugly by preaching about loyalty, but really, what's the difference between this and any other player who becomes a free agent and wants to test the waters?

an additional $21.5M due from Texas that is now gone forever?

that's huge imo, basically a $8M/yr. fuck-you from Boras.

I don't have a problem with A-Rod opting out. I would have opted out. But I wouldn't have filed the paperwork during the World Series.

didn't he have some deadline that he had to file by?

10 days after ws ends i think...

I wish there was someway he could end up being the only player on one team, where his salary is all they can afford, so a-rod has to be like the starting pitcher, bat boy, hot dog vendor, etc.

lol

borass makes more money if ar0d goes somewhere else, rite?

or, as long as he signs a new deal?

go fuck urself u motherfucking cuntlicker red sox rule!
and yankees hve no 3rd baseman or manager
who the fuck is going to play 3rd who the fuck is better than a-rod they r fucking screwed without him hes there only motherfucking good player
and besides the jets fucking suck and the patriots are like the best team in the world at this point
no one gives a fuck about who will manage the yankees whoever the fuck it is they still wont fucking win

first off fuck the mets the have probally the best lineup next to the sox and cant do shit with it you guys lick nuts and got killed by the philles and ya the jets are doing real good this season all ny teams fucking suck now and since torre left the yankees are gonna suck even more the jets were never good and the pats are going all the way this years so fuck you and new york

new york sports sucks dont rip on boston
yankees fuck it up to the indians and the red sox beat the fucking indians
mets could hve gone into the playoffs without trying they tried and failed
jets fucking suck what more can u say
giants are a good team but they can't fucking beat the patriots

arod at third while no-glove jetes plays short to protect his fragile captian ego is by far the most hilarious aspect of the nyy arod era

you forgot the knicks, omar!

You think they would have done better without A-Rod?

Former Cincinnati Reds player Pete Rose spoke with Mike Missanelli on 97.5 The Fanatic in Philadelphia and told a wild story about a trip he took to Vietnam in 1967 with baseball legend Joe DiMaggio.

Rose explained that when they were in the middle of the jungle, DiMaggio said he needed to take a shower.

"And the only way you can take a shower, Mike, is they have these big bamboo bags, like, and somebody's got to get on a chair and pour the water and pull a rawhide thing and the water comes through and the guy takes a shower," Rose said. "So I saw everything that Marilyn Monroe saw."

Rose went on to say that the best way to describe the former Yankee is that "he was a penis with a man hanging from it."

You should use that as your ILX name.

You should!
