Chad, I’m with you on sending Busfield to the Acting Hall of Fame. Love The West Wing and Field of Dreams. But we can’t forget his stirring performance in Little Big League. He blows the kid who plays Billy Heywood out of the water.

Ham Fighters,
murphydog was just expressing their love for the game of baseball, as well as the Yankees.
Face it. We all happen to be fortunate for being Yankee fans. We just won a World Series, are less than a decade removed from a dynasty, and have the most storied history in sports. Stop complaining about the media bias. It sucks, but it’s not the end of the world. Nor does it change what we all know to be true. And “all-encompassing yankee bias”? Really? Relax dude. Everybody gets hate on to some degree. But it’s relative. It’s the fact that the Yankees are so high profile (a good thing that the organization tries very hard to maintain) that the hate gets magnified as much as it does. It’s no surprise. Just enjoy the game. And enjoy being a yankee fan.

Did Pete always have disdain for Yankee fans or did we do that to him?

Good reminder Neil.

It will be interesting to see which teams DON’T offer salary arbitration, which is what happened to several players last season. For some, no arbitration will therefore result in no draft picks being offered in compensation. Some teams may be wary of the likelyhood of increased salaries through arbitration, if they are in cost-cutting mode, and just let them go.

If the Angels are are able to pull off a trade for Halladay, then they most likely will give up either Weaver, Kazmir, Santana or Saunders along with other young talent. The Angels would want them to take on some salary, so Kazmir may be offered, but probably not taken. And if a trade does happen, the Angels would have a pretty impressinve starting 4, but that almost certainly rules out a return of Lackey. IF, IF that happens, I’d be ecstatic, as it removes Halladay from the AL East equation, though not from the AL.

Going to be an interesting few weeks.

“He’s no more important than you or I.”

Betsy,

Pete is even less than important than any of us because he’s irrelevant to what happens regarding the Yankees. He is past history for Yankee fans and they should accept that and move on.

I love the picture of that guy guarding the Commissioner’s Trophy. I looks nervous! When you compare that immage to the stories about how the Stanley Cup is carried around from place to place and has the hell beaten out of it that picture is even funnier. Looks like the “Trophy” holds a bit less beer than the “Cup”!

I think we should just let Pete be and try to remember that if it wasn’t for his years of hard work and dedication that this blog might not even be here and that it certainly wouldn’t generate the volume and depth of response that it does. He’s writing to an audience up there that wants what it wants: “Sox rock and Yankees suck”. Let him bang the monkey in peace.
