Steve,

It doesn't matter who you start because you have a horse shoe up your ass so far I'm not really sure how you get through the day. You must be gay.

How about
1)I won 19 games the past 2 years Wang
2)I used HGH twice 7 years ago im sure the effects have worn off Pettite
3)Phil Hughes-young amazing arm
4)Ian Kennedy-another great young pitcher
5)Mussina-ok hes past his prime
hopefully Joba will be taking Moose's spot later in the year

I dont know why your hating on Hughes bc your either gonna bitch that our pitchers are old or from another team so when we get some arms from our farm system you hate on them

Just cuz it's fun/funny smile.gif. It'll be an interesting year for sure, with the Yankees new arms vs the Sox new arms (Lester, Buchholz).

True, im excited for the Yankees farm system. Ive been looking @ some of these pitchers the yanks have down there and I think we may see some more of these guys later in the season

So, anyone know how to get all sta tickets or is it all corprate? Is there some kind of lottery or something?

I'm not trying to troll, but how do you guys feel about Clemens and the other Yankees who shot up? I know a bunch of Yankee fans here in the bay area who RIPPED bonds hard, then stood up for Clemens. I know you guys are more intelligent than those people, but please tell.

I absolutly hated Bonds because he was just a douche to the media and public but Clemens is now following his footsteps. I kind of feel like this should just be over. If these guys were doing it, Id say a lot more were and it was just part of the game and nothing is going to come of it. But I still support Pettite because he came clean and admitted it and thats it, it seems like hes done hearing it from the media. Obviously hes gonna hear itfrom fans all season.

I love the Yanks and have since I was 5 years old and watched Reggie hit 3 ding dongs in '77, but I don't believe for a second that Pettite only did HGH twice or that Clemens never did it. I truly believe that just under half the guys in the league were doing something. Just the way it was.

That being said, I love the new intensity. The vets have to work hard in camp, get their running in, work on fundamentals, maybe it will help build a sense of urgency, comraderie. I hate the businesslike approach that we've had for so many years.

Youth brings emotion, and in doses, that's a great thing. Wang finally had a decent start, so that's something. Hughes has looked lights out. They are fighting with the Rays. Bring it on.

I for one have been wanting the team to cut payroll for years, and they are sticking to their guns. I'm probably stupid, but I was hoping to god that we wouldn't trade for Santana. I'd rather finish in second with a young crop of talent and a homegrown team than just have a bunch of hired guns. Muss, Giambi and Abreu off the books next year, so be it. Although, our positional talent isn't ready for the bigs.

We overpaid for our vets, but at least they were our vets, so that's something

1. pettite used it at least twice. we'll never really know for sure. But, I'm sure quite a lot of people will take his word. Just thought I'd be the semantical one about this.

2. those 3-5 starters will never be top-flight guys if they don't have the hutzbah to talk about themselves like wang and pettite just did there in your post. hutzbah.


A's fan for the record.

I'm not even going to disagree with your statement right now, but to say that it's not close is delusional. (Ok so very in character at the very least)

if one more person suggests that we move Joba to the rotation, I'll slap them.

Anyone who watched last nights game realizes that LaTroy Hawkins and Kyle Farnsworth are the answer in the 8th inning. That ball Pena hit landed in the new stadium. Cliff Floyds home run nearly killed a fan in right field. It's just ugly right now. When you're jonesing for Tom Gordon, things are rough. Credit where its due, he pitched well for us.

Amen. As much as the starting rotation scares me, the 7th/8th inning scares me way more. Joba better stay in his spot unless

(1) we get a lot of bullpen help (and I mean a LOT)

or

(2) 2 or 3 starters end up on the DL

On a related topic, I am just amazed that in a game (yesterday) where both Mussina and Farnsworth ended up on the mound, we only gave up one run. Those two may very well be my two least favorite (current) Yankees. Farnsworth for the obvious reasons, and Mussina not just for the meltdown he had last year but also for his prima donna "I need my own personal catcher" attitude.
