So, I realize I'm probably the minority around here, but I'm a Yankee fan and damn proud of it.  

 

Before I post what I think our season will be like, I wanted to see if there were any other Yankee fans around here.  How do you think we'll fare?  What are you worried about?  Any young players that you're excited about?  Just wanted to start a thread for general discussion.

I don't care about the PED crap. It's just the era of baseball he played in. Most guys have done it, he just happened to get caught. He took drugs to recover faster from hip surgery. 

A-Rod is a top 5-10 power hitter all-time. It's sad people get caught up in the hate and can't appreciate whats happening right in front of them. People have always hated him and the steroid stuff was just gasoline on the fire.

It's just a number anyway.

Babe Ruth is the homerun king even if a "clean" player were to belt out 900 home runs. The number of home runs he was hitting compared to the rest of the league was staggering. I read an article on it once and it said it was basically the equivalent of a player today hitting 200 HRs a year for a decade.

 

For the most part, I agree.  Baseball can't just turn a blind eye to the steroid era.  I think it needs to have it's own wing in the hall of fame.

 

 

 

Those steroids didn't give him hand eye coordination, bat speed, power, and teach him how to hit a fastball or curveball.

 

While I'm against steroids, this has always been my argument for why it doesn't bother me as much as it bothers others.  I'd like to see just anyone go out there and hit a 90 MPH fastball.  It's not as easy as it looks.  Yea, you may get a piece of it, but hit it solid (multiple times) and you should have at least played college ball.

      Down With The Devils: Series Wrap-up

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...
