What the hell was Torii Hunter thinking with two outs?

looks like the a's might actually advance. wait, 2-0 lead means nothing with them, i forgot...
 
 anyway, everyone needs to come to terms with the fact that there is NO CHANCE the yankees don't win the world series. they will do it quite easily. they are trotting out perhaps the best offense ever right now. damon, jeter, abreu, sheffield, giambi, a-rod, matsui, posada, cano -- their #9 hitter hit .342! two shoo-in HOFers in jeter and a-rod, two borderline HOFers in abreu and sheffield, four perennial all-stars and then cano, who may well become a perennial all-star. it's disgusting. just accept it now and you won't be as upset when it happens.

What about Abreu would make him a borderline hall of famer?
 
 And if Jeter didn't play on the Yankees, would anybody pay him any attention? If he were on Tampa Bay, he'd be Carl Crwaford.

the fact is, they have had a lineup ALMOST this good for the last 5 years and havent won patooty.
 
  every year that they dont win the world series, it should be to them and their fans, as not even making the playoffs is to any other team (yes, the Red Sox included).

that would be confusing to have a Carl Crawford and a Carl Crwaford both on the same team.
 
  more confusing then when Millar and Mueller were both on the Sox!!!

Rooting for the Yankees is like going to a casino to root for the dealer.

That one used to kill me.

[BookerT]

if the stathead revolution continues, i can see abreu getting some serious HOF consideration when all is said and done. he's the kind of player who should age gracefully, so he should still have at least 5 or 6 more solid seasons left in him, which  should give him 300 hr/300 sb, maybe around 2,500 hits, .300/.400/.500 career line. if he stays with the yankees past next year that will help his counting stats and he might get a ring or two. he's never been the best player in the league, which will hurt him, but he's been in the top 10 a lot.
 
 and jeter's obviously overrated, but i think it's gotten to the point where everyone says he's overrated and after a season like this one, maybe he's underrated.

its always funny to watch A-rod strike out with the bases loaded

why does Chris Berman still have a job, it is painful listening to him call a game

It's gotten to the point where I listen to MLB radio over the net with the TV on mute for any game Berman broadcasts.

speaking of mute, that's what i do with any joe buck/tim mccarver called game. . .really, what dirt do they have on rupert murdoch that allows them to keep calling games.
 
 surely someone can figure out a way to get bob costas back into the booth, pair him with someone like al leiter. . .
 
 ugh, i really can't stand joe buck and tim mccarver. . .
