***Official 2012 New York Yankees Thread***

A lot of players liked him but he just didn't fit in with what Theo, Hoyer and Company believe in or how they want their hitters to approach the game so he was let go, much like the Angels hitting coach and their new FO.

 

...

 

Minor vs. Sabathia is about the worst matchup imaginable for Atlanta tonight.

 

stranger things have happened....but seriously, what has happened to Minor (head games?) in less then a year?

 

I haven't seen much of him this season so far so it's hard for me to tell you. I'm a little surprised Medlen hasn't been brought back up to take his place yet. I really wanted to see Beachy and Hanson in this series but I guess it wasn't in the cards.

 

...

 

I love that quote. That is one of the all time great yankkes quotes. "He's not only one of the all time greats but he's one of ours"

 

Nice when you drop by the thread every now and then....

 

One of who? Arod isn't a true Yankee! Who's he trying to fool?

 

I was literally going to write that under the quote this morning but I refrained.....I think he is by virtue of what he did in 2009....

Without A-Rod that year they dont even make it to the WS....nevermind win it...

But yeah old timers like my old man, refuse to accept him....

 

Arod is kind of in the neighborhood...he earned a ring......let's just say if announcing the 100years of Great NY Yankees, as a hired gun (FA or Trade) he definitely isnt in the Reggie Jackson or Sparky Lyle group, and not even be in the Paul O'Neil or Tino Martinez or Scott Brosius group....but Arod, Teixeira, and even CC are all announced long before the Mike Mussina group for damn sure.

 

could be.....could be #1 ever Yankkes quote I have heard......

....but definitely not one of the greatest Yankees quotes ever....thank goodness!

 

Today I consider myself..................

 

My Arod post about the quote was a joke. All the "true Yankee" stuff was and is complete nonsense.

 

Sox fans dont understand, we dont expect you too....

 

Stay away from your kid Joba....

 

Please explain then, I'd love to get a "True Yankee" Lesson.

 

oh, the irony, so rich!!!

 

There is no lesson....

It cant be taught to fans of different teams....especially your kind....

 

you were expecting so much more to my post then that haahhahah....^

 

But I REALLLLLLLLY want to know!!!

 

You need to pledge your alliance to the A-Rod Fan Club....

 

Never. Although I really don't have an issue with him, most of the time he gets a bad rap.

 

Whoa. I feel like this is a therapy session and we just made a major break through.....

 

Haha, nah. I really don't have any issue with any Yankee player except maybe Joba.

 

Joba? Why.....Youk? and dont say cuz he is flashy.....

 

The Youk thing definitely, he threw two pitches in a row at the guy's head as well as some of his off the field stuff like the DUI incident. While I think his celebrations are a bit over the top I don't have a problem with them, let him spin around and fist pump as much as he wants, if you don't like it score runs off of him to shut him up.

 

Good news but blame the coaching staff for not letting him heal...

 

Hey BDH, have fun tonight.....

Love,

Jealously

 

....

 

hockey and hoops for now¥ you get me in another week. I'll bring the beer

 

That's my dominican accent imitation djue no?

 

I said quote not the national anthem sheesh. Also I get how arood associating himself with the All time greats is a bit annoying but I saw it as a statement about gehrig and yankee tradition

 

just bring the nostalgic Munson pics...

 

Nice!!!

 

Fun night....enjoyed it!

* stupid Granderson and wasted HR...LOL...still cant win a game without a HR...LOL!

 

that didnt take long...good to pull out an "old-fashioned" W without a HR....hahhhaa...so silly!

 

Something tells me Harper has never seen anything that is the likes of Pettitte's slow methodical curveball.....
