Boo the Yankees, although A-Rod did help me in my fantasy league last year.
Apparently, the Reds have the best pitching talent in a very long time. We need it playing in the ballpark we do.
The chess game would be more on par with some double A team.
im an obsessive red sox fan, but i do think the mets looks pretty good. they should take the NL no problem.
Where do the Yankees or the Philles come into this, seems more like a MLB Central league forum to me
In all seriousness, I think Yankee fans are going to have a rough season. The Steinbrenners should have done anything and everything to keep Joe Torre, and this season will prove out why. I firmly believe that he was one of the primary reasons that they won so much, and I'm not sure that anyone can keep all those egos at bay and cushion the players from the ownership like Torre did. Then, once the Stenibrenners start overstepping Cashman like it appears they are going to do..... look out.
The thing with A-Rod is that while he does NOTHING in the playoffs, he is the MAN in the regular season. If the Yankees have any other third baseman last season they dont even make the playoffs. They had that lousy start and had to play some pretty good ball to get in. A-Rod was one of the main reasons that they were able to play as well as they did. So, what do you do with him?
My point is, if you want to make the playoffs, you CAN'T get rid of him. The dude can flat out hit. He will almost certainly break the career HR record, and has probably the best eye in the game. Without A-Rod, the Yankess can't win. Will the Yankees profit by staying home in October?
