Everyone kills francessa,but i go on vacation in Cape Cod every year, and honestly you think he is bad you should hear WEEI they kill, and i mean KILL the sox, celts, and bruins. Dont get me wrong francessa is annoying, but……. we should consider ourselves lucky that the sports talk isnt as bad as the boston stations

I’m not too worried about Wang facing Halladay.
They can’t beat Halladay no matter who they have on the hill.
=============================================================
If Wang stinks that day, our worst starter to lose to their Ace.
If Wang sinks that day, if I remember correctly, he is the last starter that out-dueled Halladay (on the opening day last year)

i like francessa’s show.

i don’t agree with him a lot but he has opinions & that is all just like everybody else does.

we all have opinions & think we are right all of the time also.

like for instance i can say i think the yankees should trade this or that for so & so & their will be plenty of people that will jump all over me & try to convince the world & themselves that it is a bad idea.

it means nothing.
are the yankees better off trading wang & a prospect for dye?

wang for an 8th inning guy?

who knows?

the way i see it is the yankees probably need bullpen help & should concentrate on that only.

can they use a better rf or dh like dye? absolutely but at what cost?

i think the real issue is cf & has been for a long time.

we can get by with what we have but we can use more production from that position.

how good would we be with mclouth & street right now???

….and Jose Lima is on this list???

Maybe is Winstrol was expired or something? Either that, or he needs a refund…cuz it didn’t work.

IMO last night Wang pitched (much) worse than he pitched against Braves, but he had a much better luck yesterday. In Atlanta he might get 0ER if ARod field the ball like all his excellent defensive plays last night. And the ball got hit hard were all down (yesterday the two RISP hits from Mets are on high balls).

On trading Wang talk, I was reading the Wiki page about Mo, and was amused to see Mo was on the trading list more than once (first for David Wells, then for Randy Johnson). When Hughes and IPK stunk in 2007 (that’s when Wang shined), people are talking about trading Hughes with a bag of balls. Yankee fans are not known as understanding the talent of their players and have a little patient on them. Hopefully the front office does a better job.

There were just as many scrubs as all-star caliber players taking steroids. The list seems to include mostly higher eschelon players.

How can this be statistically possible EVERY player in 2003 was subject to an anonymous test?

I wouldnt be surprised if any or most of these players were users, but i’m highly skeptical of this list right now.

yeah Doreen, you’re right there…as much as I could care less at this point who is on the list, I did breath a sigh of relief when I did not find names like Jeter and Rivera on it.

Juan Cruz is on that list. Who’s next? Edwar Ramirez?

dennis,

Good afternoon. On fire? I thought I was just being long winded as usual.

Hope you had a nice weekend and that Amy had positive responses to her show on Friday.

The AL East has been brutal for years. Last year was particularly bad with the Rays joining in.

This year it’s just brutal. Toronto isn’t going away and Tampa Bay is coming on. I know you’ve pointed out the run differentials for the AL East teams – just unbelievable.

Jeff Pearlman must be proud… the first mediot to defend his ill informed opinion by turning to Selena Roberts to validation.

Hey Jeff — if Alex’s lousy season is due to being off steroids how do you explain 2004-08 during which time he apparently passed every steroid test he was given.

Pearlman, Olney, Gammons and others need to go to “steroid school” tolearn what steroids do and do not do.

Look at that list… we have no idea if it’s accurate but if it is you clearly see that a lot of lousy players remained lousy despite using PEDs. Maybe that will help the over-reacting under-educated media realize that the key word in PED is not “DRUG” it’s “ENHANCING”.
