they might win tomorrow against byrd. he is due for a bad game just like sowers is due for his first win tonight. sunday the reds have very little chance as cc is going. he has finally turned into the dominant ace he should have already been.

brandon phillips makes me laugh. he was upset because sizemore got the big contract and he didnt. "i was the big name in the colon deal. i should get the contract." LMAO :rofl:
I just hope everybody watches, listens and believes ESPN in MAY. Yankees will be in the AL playoffs, more then likely win AL east w/ Toronto having all those injuries. We all know BoSox will fold, choke.whatever ya wish to call it. back 10 games in May is nothing.Has seen Yankees come from 8 back in AUGUST

i hope you are right. yankee fans are spoiled.
i dont mean to say i told you so, but i told you so.
A thought on Willy Mo Pena:
From my p.o.v.
Willy Mo Pena serves us no good as a bench player, he can't hit coming off of the bench, with the exception of that pinch-hit grand slam. He can still develop into a 40hr+ guy, but not here, he needs to go to a small market team, a Kansas City or a Pittsburgh type of team.
But seriously think about it, what does Willy Mo offer us? Nothing. He doesn't offer any speed off of the bench, apparently no bat either, and he certainly isn't a defensive replacement, he's just not the type of player we need.
Now, ask this question...why was he brought here then? Well, the answer is simple. He was brought here to replace Nixon, or possibly Manny, and once Coco and Trot were injured last season, we were able to see what he offered us, and you can see what we thought about it, we signed JD Drew.
So now, ask this question...Why is he still here? To build up trade-value. I can see him being packaged with Coco Crisp and a Brandon Moss or Craig Hansen for an Ichiro type player.
To further my point, Michael Tucker was signed to a minor-league contract yesterday to give Bobby Scales some time off. He has been playing both the infield and outfield like crazy for Pawtucket. You heard it hear first, Willy Mo Pena will not be on the Boston Red Sox postseason roster. He will be gone by the trading deadline.
And if anyone has an opinion on who else could be brought up instead of Mike Tucker, I will gladly prove you wrong.

youre a fool.
No but there is one thing they can say and that is that they whipped your asses 4 straight games in October 2004 leading to the biggest collapse in sports history. Yankees keep playing like they are and they won't even get the wild card. You think Clemens is going to magically solve all the troubles in New York? He's not. They need a hell of a lot more than just one aging pitcher. Most of their starters have major issues getting past the 5th inning. They're seemingly unable to hit left handed pitching. Most of the offense aside from Jeter has vanished. I'm sick of hearing the "it's only May" bullshit. Nobody is afraid of the big bad "Yanks" anymore. What have the "Yanks" done with all their post season appearances the last handful of years?
2001 The Diamondbacks beat em in the WS. If anything the D-backs are the real "One Year Wonders"
2002 The Angels took em out in 4 games to win the ALDS. The Angels won the WS that year.
2003 The Marlins beat NY 4 games to 2 for their second WS Title.
2004 David Ortiz and Boston worked The Yankees over to win the ALCS and go on to sweep St Louis for their WS Title.
2005 The Angels win the ALDS over NY in 5 games.
2006 The Yankees beat Boston for the division title which earned them an extra week of baseball. What did they do with that week? NOTHING because they got worked again...this time by the A.L. Champion Detroit Tigers.
If this short history lesson has taught us anything it's that The New York Yankees have been nothing more than a stepping stone or speed bump lately for most A.L. teams in the post season. YANKEES SUCK.
