Someone has to help sort out the fools from this fine site of yours…

Agree to disagree Migames.

And one last thing, before I do payroll….

And to Mr. Brandon… Obviously Action Jackson will make it to the Bronx before Eric Byrnes. You, as always, entered a debate about ten minutes too late.

But I do have to question anyone that has the tag “I want A-Rod, but fire Boras and land me Kazmir’ should only be allowed to see and expierence baseball on an XBox or Playstation.

You obviously have no idea whats going on, do you?

Is it safe to say the best part of you ran down your mothers leg and is a stain on the bed? Did Dad have bad aim, my boy?

Hear that bell ringing? That was you getting schooled by a 39 year old. LOL, as the kids these days say!

“I also was stating a fact that there are and were pitchers who weren’t enamored with him as their battery mate so that is somewhat telling. It’s more than just an isolated issue. I guess either murphydog’s memory failed him, he wasn’t aware or he just wanted to be ornery.”

What’s the point of saying that some pitchers don’t get along with some catchers? It’s too obvious a point to be worth making. C’mon.

And how am I supposed to be persuaded that it’s Jorge’s fault if the complainers are: El Duque, (El Loco himself) Coney, who hasn’t pitched to Po in 7 years, and Randy Johnson and Mussina, two of the moodiest jerks to ever toe the rubber? I seem to recall Flaherty needing to straighten the Big Unit out once or twice too. Is he a problem catcher also? And as for Mussina, check out his love relationship with the umpires of the world. The guy is headcase.

You plainly suggested that Jorge was a “problem catcher” in addition to his issues regarding blocking balls in the dirt. You overstated the case.

Those “types” of players add no value to the team unless they know how to play baseball. If they dont, why get a bunch of cheerleaders on the team?

And as for chemistry, it seems like teams that win are labeled as having chemistry and teams that dont win lack it. I believe its a fabrication of the media. 25 guy will like each other or not, regardless of winning or losing.

If i was cashman, i would sign abreu because the value he bring to the team on the field, ie, getting on base and running the count, which is much more valuable than dirt on the uniform.

Thats why we disagree, different views on the team.

Bernie Williams, after 2002, had a wet noodle for an arm and I’ve been watching this team 35 years. Thats why in 2004, Cashman really wanted Beltran, Carlos, but The Boss insisted on Randy Johnson, saying pitching was the bigger issue.

(both were right).

Did you also know that Cashman had terms worked out with Vlad Guerrero years ago, but Steinbrenner went behind everyones back and signed Sheffield himself.

If Cashman had had his way, the current OF would be :

LF Matsui, CF Beltran, RF Guerrerro.

Not too shabby.

And Jorge, just worry about getting paid and not what Rebecca says about Bernie Williams, Maybe if he out down the guitar and picked up a dumbell, he would have had a better throwing arm at the end of his career.

But, much love to Bern Baby Bern.

He was great in his own way, for most of his career.

Miller, (and all) the point I was trying to make was NOT that Eric Freaking Fox Sports Reporter Byrnes ISN’T a better player than Robert Abreu.

I’m not saying the Yankees should have matched or even given him 1/2 or even a 1/4 of what ARZ just gave him (5yx$50M).

And YES, HE WAS A FOURTH OF’er HIS ENTIRE CAREER, in OAK, BAL, and COL. Coming to Arizona was the best thing that could have happened to him.

Do you know what his teammates call him, on every team he plays on? “Captain America”, because of his put the team first mentality. Because of his total recklessness and abandon for his own body to make a play.

Can we say these things about 1/2 the Yankees squad, or even 2/3 of it? See people, thats why over the years, those pro-Red Sox bastahds at ESPN, especially Skip Bayless, John Kruk, and so on, all accuse the Yankees of being too much of a briefcase carrying corporation! Thats why the NYY is always compared to IBM, Microsoft, Exxon, Mobil, etc.

A bunch of me-first, spoiled rich babies that show no heart.

At least since The Dynasty disbanded after 2001. The real dynasty.

Thats why I say get some guys ‘LIKE’ being the operative word, Eric Byrnes—hell, even a kid like Shelley Duncan, reminds me of that mold of player—the rah-rah type of Billy Martin, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Bera (they used to be Yankees a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, for you new fans).

Those guys bonded, in the clubhouse, on the field, and at the CopaCabana, when teammates like Hank Bauer would start 20-person brawls with Vito Genovese’s and Carlo Gambino’s men (gangsters of that era). Those guys, those teams were inseperable.

I hate to use the word, its become so cliche, but there is no chemistry on this team. Remember a year or two aggo when they were all trying to grow the porn moustaches? ONLY HALF THE TEAM DID IT !!! DID you see Jeter with a porn-stasch? Or A-Rod?

Its a small, silly point to make, but its a great example. This team has been divided, so it seems, for too long.

They should start studying guy’s characther the way Gene ‘Stick’ Michael did when he built the dynasty, not HR avgs.

So, for the lkast time, I’m not saying freaking Eric Byrnes is the answer to our iussues. But getting a few guys with his ATTITUDE COULD go a long way.

Just my opinion. There, no rip it apart and tell me how little I know about baseball. I gotta ten minute drive to the bullpen, you better believe I’ll be back on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are some people that sensitive that they cannot deal with differing opinions, even if those opinions are based on fact and not sentiment and misinformation of their own?

bernie williams had a terrible throwing arm. i don’t get it, you are upset that someone mentioned this?

do you not think it is true?

Especially given that I was 12 at the time.

I did not follow the Yankees as well as I would have liked in 2005 because I spent much of the summer in Ireland, and I did not follow the Yankees as well as I would have liked in 2006 because of personal health issues.

As much as I remember Tino and Scotty B and Paul O’Neill, I also remember Chad Curtis, Shane Spencer, Luis Sojo, Chilli Davis, etc.

Hold your ground son. Migames just won that battle harrrrd as hell.
