sheff is a sick bastard. the best is when he fouled a pitch straight back one time during the season. i mean he just fucking ripped this ball straight back and some guy was eating popcorn and this thing was going right for his head he ducked so fast and his popcorn went flying and the ball just hit the net and dropped. the guy got so scared it was hysterical :lol
sheff rips em though, i mean RIPS them.

:lol Kuroyume. You act as if I care about the steroids. He's already admitted to using them...I'm just making alittle fucking joke. As I did with Bradley Amarosa. Joe's been here long enough to not give a shit...cause he's up 3-0,and doesn't need to 
Leave the shit talking to the Sox/Yanks fans that have been here going at it for over 2 years.
Joe: Sheff is a fucking freak of nature...the way he rips fucking EVERYTHING scares the shit out of me anytime it was Astros/Dodgers or Braves. :lol @ that popcorn story...I'd love to see a video of that.
Fucking hell, who the hell is pitching for Boston tomorrow?

Where'd all these Yankee fans come from? People don't hate the real Yankee fans, people hate the bandwagoners.
Man, you'd never see me cheering for the Jets unless it's the Giants bye week.

The Sox might as well be setting it out there on a fucking tee. Skip the middle man and don't start ANYONE.
That said, I hope to God that either the Cards or 'stros has what it takes. Another Yankees World Series win is NOT what baseball needs(notice I said BASEBALL, which is not just the Yankees and their fans, despite rumors to the contrary).

I should be banned for rooting for two teams?
Oh, and why isn't making fun of other teams not allowed? Weren't you doing that to the Cubs fans earlier on? Hmmm...
Anyway, 2000 was the best because a NYC team won but let me remind you that it still sucked because the Mets lost.

you can make fun of other teams all you want. but if said teams make the playoffs, you shouldn't jump on and be their biggest whore. oh wait, too late.
that's like if the cubs made the playoffs i'd be like "LMAO, see that braves fans? OWNED BY THE CUBS. LOLZ. WHO'S YO MAMMA?"
i live in chicago. i don't root for the team in chicago because theyre from there. you just talk shit like you're a lifelong yankees fan because you obviously can't accept the mets continual failure.
but that's ok, the mets will never be good. be a total douche and root for the yanks. it's not like you have any other options like being a true fan =)

Out of left field.. what do you Yankee fans think of a possible trade of Giambi to a small market team looking to grow for prospects?
Like say Giambi to the new Washington team for 3 top prospects? Or if Tampa wants to suddenly grow... throw him their way for whatever good minor leaguers they're willing to part with.

NOBODY is going to trade for Giambi, and certainly not for some top flight prospects. Honestly, if even Steinbrenner thinks his contract is a money strainer, you know he's in bad shape. The best they can do is probably try to void his contract or buy him out, maybe convince him to retire if his health really is that bad.

One can hope someone out there will bite. You need a name to fill the seats, and Giambi may be able to do it.
What if they give him a new thyroid and let him spend a few weeks at a reunited Balco?

Giambi isn't gonna fill any seats though. If anything, he'll become hated by fans if their hometown team gave up top prospects just to get his ass. He's done. He stopped roiding and he can't play anymore. He's not the player they paid $17 million a year for.

I don't think he's talking shit. Hell, I brought up the topic, and I've been a Yankee fan for all my years on the planet (including the shitty Andy Hawkins years.)
He's actually on point. Giambi has sucked. He did put himself in a situation to suck. If this year's playoffs has taught me anything, it's that we don't need Giambi.
If someone's willing to give up some prospects for him, it wouldn't hurt.

im not talking shit. Giambi is done. And if you don't think the steroid use has contributed to that along with his disease, you're insane. Im sure he just lost all that weight this past offseason on the Atkins diet, right? Ever since he came to the Yankees he slowly started becoming nothing but a homerun hitter. The guy used to put up Frank Thomas-in-his-prime type numbers, not he's more like Jose Canseco in his last few years.
:lol If you think anyone is gonna give you a GREAT (or even good) pitcher for Jason Giambi, you're the dumbest human alive. Yeah, call up the Cubs, maybe they'll give you Prior or Wood for a $17 million a year DH who might not ever be healthy again. Like i said, when George Fucking Steinbrenner is trying to dump a contract, you KNOW its bad.

if the RedSox really want to try and "out-yankee" the yankees this offseason, they should make an allout push to sign Carlos Beltran, no matter what it takes. Can you imagine Beltran batting in front of Manny and Ortiz? Damn.
oh, and if Albert Pujols is really 22 years old, then im the Pope.

This is the worst time to move Giambi. You'll get garbage back and still have to cover a significant portion of his contract. Wait until he has improved his play, then re-evaluate the situation. The Yankees can afford to wait longer before cutting their losses.

WOOOOT!!! CHAVEZ... CLUTCH HIT!
Man do the announcers suck, they talk about something not happening and immediately afterwards it does (they were talking how the bottom of the order hasn't done anything) and then boom, ties the game up with clutch hitting.
Also, there time they were talking about Edmonds never leaving hte batting box to adjust his batting gloves, or collect himself and then on the very next pitch he steps out to adjust his batting gloves.... hilarious.
