How about if I said that I find YOUR comments to be insulting to me?

You don't seem to have any problem insulting me in your subtle way.

And just to set the record straight. I am not bitter, Just speaking MY mind!

I think if you want to carry this topic any further you can contact me off the boards. I don't hide, my contact point is listed.

No, I think we both made our points. I think that you should just try to take joy in JOYful situations, not in trying to make others miserable. But thanks for the offer to chat off the boards. Maybe one night when my laptop battery isn't dying. Now it's time to shut down and concentrate on the end of the game. Keep your fingers crossed for the Yankees!!

SB - fs appears to be a Mets fan, which is fine...but he tends to gloat when the Yanks aren't doing well.

Nobody HAS to like the Yankees, but I sort of wish he'd either create or go into a 'How 'bout them Mets' thread and use his energy to cheer on his own team instead of sticking it to Yankee fans who have plenty of complaining to do on their own.

Other than that, I've never had a problem with fs and basically feel he's a fun guy... .

I don't think he'll be crossing his fingers along with you, but at the very least he's conceded the Yankees will win tonight.

Thank GOD for small favors.

Telling America and the Gangster BB like it really is

Nice outing by Wright tonight the Sox had to little to late.

Now you see. I really have to tell you the truth here.

Yes, I was one of the first to cheer on the Mets. After all they have been thru all these years, I love to cheer them on. I cheer the underdogs or those who haven't had a chance to be on top.

I do not hate the Yankees! Let me say it again. I do not hate the Yankees.

What I really dislike are SOME Yankee Fans! Those who talk shit and are as arrogant as they can be. Talking trash and bashing other teams and their players at ever turn. Damn mean talk too. Hate! No sportsmanship with these types. They give the real New York Fans a bad image.

So I give some back,
What can I say. I like standing up to some arrogant know it alls.
So many times I just pass on thru and keep quiet. Then after a while I have heard my fill and give some back.
Yeah, it may not be right, but noone else seems to speak up at times.
They never seem to like it when they get what they give.
So if you think that I am being negative, it may just be that I am giving some back.

By the way The Yankees had a good win tonight.
I do love a good clean rivalry.

"You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch..." Well put SB

As for tonight, glad to see A-Rod and Damon went yard and that Jared Wright, gulp, beat the Red Sox Although the best news (other than the win) was that Sheff is back

Yes, last night went well indeed.

But alas, Randy's pitching tonight's game .

Not much to do except hope for a miracle.

FS - Glad to hear that your team is doing so well this year. My dad was a Mets fan and, although I am loyal to the Yankees, I have to admit that any time a NY team wins, I feel good about it, no matter if I'm a fan or not.

And you're right, there's nothing good in talking trash about other teams, or in gloating about their losses. It is rather unsportsmanlike. I am probably guilty over doing a small dance of glee when the Yankees beat Boston, but you have to admire players like Ortiz and Schilling, because they're just amazing athletes. And although I love the Yankees, I also love baseball, and you just have to give in to love of the game sometimes.

WOW, I gotta admit, I'm surprised that the Yanks took 2 outta 3 from boston in beantown After the series with the Mets and having lost game 1 against boston, I was worried they might get swept or loss another series. I'm glad I was wrong!

Farnsworth gives up 3 runs in the 8th to KC!? WTF!?

Get ready guys, now that I'm in New York, I'll be watching the games A LOT more now

Got to see Johnny Damon get only his 2nd leadoff homer of the season (6th overall)

What a game from Unit

6 innings, 2 hits, 0 runs, 3 BB, 4 SO, 7-4 with a 5.37 ERA. However, the bad news is that Jeter left the game. Let's pray he's OK

Yeah, Johnson pitched a hell of a game today. Saw bits and pieces of it. Looks like R.J. hasn't lost his touch.

Pfft, everybody gets lucky once in awhile. :p

Mariano comes up big, Small pitches well and the Yankees move up a game behind of the Red Sox who fell to the Blue Jays.

Sweet, Yanks win & Sox lose. What more could I ask for? A good game they almost gave away but hey, a win's a win

The Yanks just took 3 straight from the league's best in the Detroit Tigers

Lordy, I just LOVE sweeps...especially when they work in the Yankees favor!!

Apple

Well they'll be going for the sweep tomorrow. For some reason, this is a 4 game series but win or lose, the Yanks have played beautifully

Did you happen to see Mussina yell at Joe, "...stay there." Referring to Joe's attempt to pull Muss after he gave up a hit. Guidry was laughing. I wonder what was said in the locker room after the game.

Yeah I saw that Moose looking pissed and Joe and Ron just laughed

F'n Kyle Farnsworth Thanks for blowing the sweep!

Yes, Farnsworth is terrible, let's hope Octavio Dotel will be much better since he is supposed to be back in late-June or early-July if I remember.

Nonetheless, the Yanks still took 3 out of 4 from the hottest team in the AL. I thought it was pretty funny that the Tigers were all flipping out so much when they won, I mean, yes, true, but don't act like you just dominated a game, you only won one game out of four. :p

Yes, they lost 3 of 4, but this was an emotional win, coming back from a 5-0 deficit.

A Yankee sweep would not necessarily have been devastating to Detroit, but salvaging the last game had to be a big high for the Tigers.

In baseball, with it's 6-month play-almost-every-day season, each new day, in effect, "turns the page."

I'm not explaining this very well, I fear....hopefully you get my point.

No, I understand your point, and like I said, that's fine to celebrate, but I think putting the win into perspective (losing three out of four) makes their celebration a bit excessive.

The fact that each day is a new day is what made their emotional display after the win to be perfectly understandable and reasonable, and not excessive, IMO.

They forgot all about those first three losses; All that mattered to them was coming back from being down 5-0 to win yesterday.

In any case, the Yankees have more to worry about than yesterday's loss....

Is Sheffield finished for the season? They're talking about trying to rehab his wrist, but if that fails he'll probably need season-ending surgery.

So let's see...that leaves them with Johnny Damon (not 100% hmself), flanked by some combination of Melkey Cabrera, Bernie Williams, Bubba Crosby, Miguel Cairo, Terrence Long, Kevin Thompson, and Kevin Reese.

If Long, who they just acquired, was the best outfielder available basically for nothing, they're gonna have to make some kind of deal for an every day replacement - a guy at least good enough to hit .260-.270 with 20-25 homers or so.

Looking at the rosters and trying to figure out who might be available in a deal for prospects, I came up with Reggie Sanders (KC), Victor Diaz (Mets), Raul Ibanez (Seattle), Jason Lee (Houston), Jeromy Burnitz (Pittsburgh), and Jacque Jones (Cubs).

Injuries hurt, true. But I think that beating the hottest team in the AL while missing key players shows that players on this team have the ability to step up (Melky Cabrera, Andy Phillips anyone?).

I'm not saying that either of these guys can replace the talent like Sheff or Matsui. But until there is a serious sign that this team can't be competitive without them, I think they made the right move by bringing up prospects (who look like they benefitted from the WBC by playing in the majors during Spring Training) rather than trying to go out and spend on someone like Soriano.

For a team missing big players and not having a A-Rod-ish A-Rod so far this season, they are still only half-a-game behind the Red Sox for first place in the AL East.

Perhaps I'm still idealistic after watching my Sabres nearly make it to the Stanley Cup with patchwork players, but the young players (especially Cabrera) seem to be playing decent, at least well enough so that it doesn't warrant going out and spending on a huge 1-year deal to someone like Soriano or Burnitz or other names you mentioned.

Kyle the Pile of Farnsworth-less. Shows you how valuable Rivera is.

I wish they would have kept Tom 'Flash' Gordon

EXACTLY! That's 1 of the reasons why I hate Pudge Rodriguez so much. It's 1 regular season game. He comes around 3rd base with his arm in the air acting like he just won game 7 of the World Series. Hey loser, it's ONE game. Act like a professional and like you've been there before you immature, classless, piece of sh*t!

Another game Farnsworth almost lost for us. Glad to see they hung on for the win
