Yankee haters/ Matsui

LOL!! Matsui is back and in his first game is 3-3 so far.
Scary. Imagine if they get Sheff back as well? Anyone who thinks they ain't winning this whole thing is suffering from serious dementia.

F THE YANKEES.GOOD PITCHING WILL PUT THEM IN THEIR PLACE.Maybe get smart, and don't play that choke AROD in the post.

4-4 for now. Can you imagine if Sheffield makes it back as well??? Rumor has it that opposing teams will be flying in the mothers of their starting pitchers to help console them after they get rocked for 12 runs on 17 hits in 6 innings. It ain't gonna be pretty. As a Yankee fan, I friggin love it.

"Tampa Bay counters with Tim Corcoran (4-7, 3.96), who has gone 0-7 with a 4.97 ERA in 11 outings since the All-Star break. In his final appearance before the break, Corcoran was credited with a relief win against New York on July 9."

This is the fool your guys rocked? What does that have to do with the MLB? F'N knocked some trash around.So what?

Mariano Rivera, RP
· Jason Giambi, 1B
· Mike Mussina, SP


What about these 3 gazillionaires? You gunna have them healthy.If you keep injecting Giambi in the wrist, a year from now, that juice king won't even be able to wack himself off.

Mike-
What kind of odds do you want me to give you on the Yankees winning the World Series? I'll take the other 7 teams if we can agree on fair odds.

Vegas odds are 2-1. Seems about right. Three opportunities to beat em in a playoff series. I;d say thats about fair.

2/1 seems very fair. I have seen them at anywhere from 9/5 up to 3/1.
Tell you what, lets nix this idea. You are a friend and they are your favorite team in any sport so I'm sure you'll be happy just having them win, as I would the Red Sox, whom I have never layed a single dollar on in my life.

If you shop around and really want to make some kind of bet, I'm sure you can find slightly higher than 2/1. Theres a lot of people on here who bet sports so maybe they know a good place. I wouldnt wait too long though. Their odds may shrink.

Tim they are gonna go down in odds. Matsui's successful return indicates that by playoff time he will be fully tuned up. I don't care what kind of pitching staff the other teams have, nobody is gonna shut this lineup down!!!!!!
CF Damon
SS Jeter
RF Abreu
3B A Rod
1B Giambi
LF Matsui
2B Cano
C Posada
Dh(take your pick between Melky Cabrera, Bernie Williams, or Sheffield if healthy by then)

Look at that hitting. I mean, if you are a pitcher you are gonna have a nervous breakdown. WHere exactly are the outs? I mean you are pitching to a guy like Cano in the 7th slot, with Posada and a DH like Melky or Sheffield behind that.

I just don't see how anyone is gonna beat a lineup like that.

[Gander]

Oracle, check out these odds. Detroit is actually a 3/2 favorite to win the World Series. Unbelievable considering the slide they've been on. Yanks 2/1.

If it was all about good hitters,you would have won it all last year.You don't have one dominant starter.Not one.I guarantee you that Contreras would shut your team down if he pitched against them right now.Any good pitcher can hold you to 2-4 runs,and his team can get 3-5 runs against your amalgam of mediocre pitchers.You have one star pitcher,and he is sore(doesn't pitch until the 9th too.)The Halos have done this many times,and you know it.Teams only need follow that recipe of bend don't break.If you had some really dominant starters,I would give you the title in a second,but it ain't there.Good hitters will score on your star Asian wormkilla.Mussina is sore,and not as dominant(although still your best chance to get a win from.)Johnson will get hit by many of these hitters.Trust me,the Halos can't hit good pitching.They scored enough to beat you 6 out of 10 this year,and take the playoffs from you last year.Trust me,that is proof your pitching can be had.When up against Chicago's pitching,they were unable to score.It should tell you about your pitching,but since you haven't caught on yet,I doubt you will get it.
