I never tire of hearing Irishman's excuses for acting so immaturely when the Yankees lose.

Apparently now you are allowed to act more immature depending on WHICH PART of Texas you have been to.....

No DMC, I was only curious what part of the state she visited. But nice try at being a smartass

Oh I'm sorry, I just figured that when SB wrote about you acting the way you were and you were responding with "Have you ever been to Texas?" that you were going somewhere with it. Guess you just decided to go after Gina and not SB, understandable.

Then leave Texas if you don't like it. :p
Don't be pickin' on my sister's team, too! :p

Well I'm glad I have your approval now (JUST kidding gina). I have nothing against you personally but I just hate the Astros. I may be the only member on this board who voices it as much as I do but this is a message board and plenty of people have voiced their hatred of the New York Yankees (and to a lesser extent, myself).

Torre is vastly over-rated. Any idiot that knows nothing about baseball could win with a 200 million payroll.

Well any idiot could win with Curt Schilling and Randy Johnson but that didn't stop EVERYBODY in the world giving Bob Brenly credit in 2001 (while so miraculously forgetting about the 2 games he lost for them by putting Byung-Hyun Kim in the game)

BTW, if the last 6 years have proved anything, it's A LOT harder than it looks to win with that payroll :rolleyes:

Yeah... he's only the manager with the most postseason wins of all time. Whatever. :p And obviously payroll has NOTHING to do with it!

Don't ask me why but that seems like a double negative or oxy-moron or something

lol, you cant compare the D-Back's to the Yankee's. That just proves my point. He's an over-rated manager, I mean come on that was only their 4th year in exsistence.

You can't compare the D-Backs and Yankees, why? Because Joe Torre has won more championships than Bob Brenly? Or that Joe Torre still has a JOB in Major League Baseball?

...well, let's at least wait to see what George does tomorrow!

Ok, is Joe Torre is so great then why did Leyland just out coach him?

And SportsCenter just said he is expected to be fired and replaced by Lou Piniella.

I12, I've been to Dallas, and my nephew was stationed at Fort Hood, and he now lives near there since he finished his time with the army. Is that relevant to our discussion? And does it have any bearing on your apparently boundless display of poor sportsmanship?

JG, I REALLY don't believe Torre will lose his job. People have been saying that for years but I just don't see it happening. It's not Joe's fault when A-Rod (here you go ronnie), goes 1-for-14 in the Series, Sheffield 1-for-12, Giambi 1-for-8, Cano 2-for-15. Collectively, the team hit .246 for the series. It's NOT Joe's fault when the hitters don't hit. Bomberman today needed only 23 pitches to get the first 9 outs of the game for Detroit (you're not gonna win many ball games like that)

And just exactly HOW did Leyland "out coach him"?

No I was just curious (as DMC thought, I wasn't going anywhere with it)

By starting our 4th pitcher game number one was a major one. Lots more and I wonder if that is true what they said on SC. Guess we will know tomorrow.

And who's decision was it for Wang to stay in NY? That was just crazy.

Yeah, A LOT of good it did them since they lost that agme 8-4

lol, that was the point waste our worst pitcher and waste your best pitcher.

I just hate the Astros. [/b][/quote]what have the poor little astros ever done to you irish?

I just hate the Astros. [/b][/quote]what have the poor little astros ever done to you irish? [/b][/quote]Namely, Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte

Wanna clarify this? Cuz I can't imagine you asking why the Yanks decided to keep Wang! Crazy?? Wang was the best of all NYY starters -- a freakin' Cy Young contender!! WTF??

As for Leyland "out coaching" Torre, that's horse shit, too. If you actually watched the game, you'd've seen/heard Leyland saying how "brilliant" Torre was for trying to eat up time to stiffen Bonderman up during a long inning. I hate to say it, but, I12 is right for once -- Torre's NOT in the batter's box, and NOT on the pitcher's mound. What's he expected to do, hit for those hitless millionaires?? :p

Do my eyes deceive me? :p

Don't get used to it.

No, I meant they were all saying that Wang stayed in NY while they were in Detroit for games 3 & 4, I should have been more clear.

Wanna clarify this? Cuz I can't imagine you asking why the Yanks decided to keep Wang! Crazy?? Wang was the best of all NYY starters -- a freakin' Cy Young contender!! WTF??

[/b][/quote]Wang did keep it up all year.....

You noticed? :p

The NY Daily News is reporting that George Steinbrenner has asked Joe Torre to step down (as manager). If Torre refuses then Steinbrenner will fire him.

Hey George... take some of your $200 million team salary and buy yourself a fuckin' personality. Then shove the rest of that money up your ass!

Yes, I just heard this story on the morning news.

Of course, it's a HUGE mistake on Steinbrenner's part. Let him go & find another manager who will bring his team to post-season 11 years in a row.

Maybe he'll hire Joe Girardi...
