****Official 2010 New York Yankees Thread***

Word is the Yankees and Girardi have agreed on a 3 year 9 million dollar deal. No one is happier than Sergio Mirte.

 

Yep, the ink is dried

he was not going anywhere once the Cubs signed a manager, no leverage.

 

Any thoughts on the Rangers owner ripping Yankee fans? MLB front offices aren't happy with him right now and made him apologize to the Yankee brass.

Personally I think Greenberg should just shut up as he's been an owner for about 15 minutes now. Again in every fan base there are both good and bad fans.

 

what did he say?

 

[ame="http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs/2010/news/story?id=5752715"]Rangers CEO Chuck Greenberg: New York Yankees fans an 'embarrassment' - ESPN[/ame]

 

Greenberg should be ripping his team for getting whitewashed on the biggest stage in baseabll...

 

Or how the Texas PA announcer had to tell the crowd to get loud because FOX was coming back from a commercial during the pre game show and before the game started?

 

Right, so once again...as usual, it is very convenient to straddle the fence and talk out both sides of your mouth.

It was "Predictable" the way that the idiot $kankee fans treated the players, and even their wives, but now that you have a chance to jump on Greenburg, its easy to straddle the fence and look on the other side?

Which way is it? Are the fans (Obviously he was being general, he doesnt have the time to single out 100,000 fans) generally well behaved, or.... not so much so? That is pretty damn easy call considering the things I saw, read and heard.

You have a link? I personally see a picture of Greenburg, on his knees, kissing a huge nYy...... I have a really funny feeling that's not exactly what took place

Translated:
Your pissed cause Greenburg did much more with much less than the Bosox have done in ? 80 years?

Just sayin........

 

I don't think it was even remotely appropriate, for a MLB owner, given the time and setting (the day of Game 5 of the World Series) for him to make a public comment like that. If he had a beef with what happened he should have went to the MLB offices and the Yankee front offices privately. What's the point of making it public like that? There's no point in doing so. There's nothing positive that can come out of it.

I'm not defending Yankee fans here by any means. Obviously I don't think it's ok for them to act like that. And I'd say the majority of Yankee fans (and fans everywhere) don't act like that. There's always going to be a bunch of idiots at the park that say/do stupid stuff like that. But believe it or not it's not everyone.

But I'd LOVE to know how I'm straddling the fence and talking out of both sides of my mouth. Please explain. It seems like you try way too hard to read between the lines of stuff that I just don't say/write. You're looking too hard for things that just aren't there.

No I don't have a link because I heard it from a reporter (I think it was Heyman) on the radio. And considering Greenberg apologized and the Yankees made it clear they were going to respect the commissioner's office and not commenting on it tells you all you need to know. I'm not sure how the MLB fronts could be happy about something like that. It's not good for business.

Translated:
You have no point and that makes zero sense what so ever. Seriously, that comment is just as dumb and has nothing to do with the topic being discussed, nice try though. Wherever you got your translator you should return it and get your money back, it seems like it's broken and obviously not working correctly.
