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.

      FLA showed everyone it’s not about superstars. they bullied the best line in the NHL into obscurity. they played hard, were in the right positions, and ran over everything that got in their way.

      That’s really not what you said and when I even expressed doubt as to your intentions with the post you doubled down and remained unclear on whether you were trying to drag Dean Smith for whatever reason. You just got the facts wrong, which if you don’t follow the local college programs like you say then maybe you just were mistaken and thought Smith didn’t win championships or have legit superstars, and that is ok, but you just doubled down when my first post was more corrective than anything. I’m not sure what you expect posting objectively false things like “RBA has a lot of wins with nothing to show for it like Dean Smith” (paraphrasing) on a message board with plenty of UNC fans. I’m not taking it as a personal affront, we can agree to disagree, Dean Smith’s legacy fortunately will not be affected by this conversation. Screw the (Florida) Panthers?

      Bring in the free agents and trades.  Florida is the best team and unless Tulsky makes it happen, it’s more of the same…which isn’t bad…but it’s time to win a goddamn cup.
