Very true.

Sometimes people needed to be booed so they can get there stuff together. Others have said so about New York fans. It's not that we hate Mo or anything like that, but when it comes to Boston you just have to close the door on that team! Anyother team I wouldn't pay much mind to, but to do it against Boston (espeically twice in the playoffs last year after we were 3 outs away in 2 different games), some people just feel he needs a wake up call.

Here's an article that I found interesting about being Red Sox\'d Out (which I AM, believe me!)

They need to get it together -even if it is the first part of the season and stop playing like these games dont count-they are not playing like champions yet so they need to get their act together
the division is theirs for the taking

i am so glad that they watched the ring ceremony cause now they know what losing feels like and that they are expected to win and they should not know that feeling EVER AGAIN

LETS GO YANKEES -
Dethrone BOSTON

ps -the feeling of losing that is

WOO HOO! Back-to-back homers by Giambi & Bernie! 5-2 Yanks in the top of the 6th. Adios Schill!

YES! Yankees get the win, Schilling gets the loss, Mo gets the save. It doesn't get any better than that

Is this the "Irish talks to himself about the Yankees" thread? You are a true blue, bleed Yankee blue fan. I applaud your enthusiasm Irish, don't stop!(not there is chance you will).

Grazie MaryCas! Well no one seems to be too involved in the sports thread, so yeah, pretty much I just talk to myself. Did you see the game tonight!? WTF happened with Johnson!?

Looks like we're gonna have to wait at least a week or two before we award them the pennant.

:rolleyes:

That's alright plaw, I can wait another week or two

He's living up to my expectations. Nevermind him, what about Flash Gordon? I'm still holding to my prediction. Yankees will finish third 82-80 and the Mets will have a better record; 83-79.

Yeah I don't know what's going on with Flash either, but come on, Randy can't give up 3 home runs to them and expect them to win (espeically when 2 of them were 2-run shots). I mean, the Yankees did everything offensively they could for Randy and he couldn't hold the lead

So How bout that schuffle?

The fan was totally in the wrong. He started the whole thing

Absolutely wrong. Not only did he interfere, but then it looks like someone threw beer at Sheffield. This morning's paper said that they may fine or suspend Sheffield because of it, which makes no sense to me. Also, it was rather obviously fan interference, so why didn't the runner hold at second??

There were some call-ins from people in the stands who said that the guy never punched him.
That his arm would have to be three foot longer to have "uppercut" him like he claims. Of course from the field side camera view it looks like he did.

I don't know if it is true or not but there is a rumor of pictures showing the distance between the two, from the side, taken by a cell phone camera. If so I am sure that it will come out soon.

Still if we have learned anything from the past, the player is always wrong to go after anyone in the stands, at any time!

But anyway, the Yankees are still disappointing me so far.

But according to my Yankee handbook I should say, "that it is early in the season and they will put it all together soon"

Maybe, I will have to go out and get my National's cap soon.

This only happens in Boston too! Do you see any of this in New York (even though the field is more protected)? I don't buy what people are saying about how the fan was "reaching for the ball". He hand was NO WHERE near the ball! The ball was on the ground and Sheffied was bending down to grab it, the fans hand was right at Sheffield's head. Mighty good job for just "going for the ball" as many claim. Not to mention the person who threw beer on Sheff. The fan was ejected but no charges were pressed. I can't believe this either, people are saying that Sheff should get at least a 10 game suspension. For what!? The incident could have been a lot worse than it was but Sheff restrained himself

No it happens in many ballparks. Frank Franciso was arrested after throwing a chair into the stands and broke a womens nose. I think it was last fall.


Hey, did you hear what Sheffield said: I just felt something hit me in the mouth. " I DON'T
KNOW if he hit me or not, it felt like it."
After Sheffield picked up the ball, He shoved the fan BEFORE throwing the ball back to the infield
"I almost snapped, but the thing is I thought about the consequences."

I bet you would when you are knew you were wrong, at going after any fan, Since you don't KNOW if he hit you or not. His own words there.

Emotions can be tuff. Last year two Yankees were arrest when they assualted a a RedSox grounds keeper. They agreed to a deal and charges would be dropped in six months.

But what about Johnson being ROCKED. Man that sucked, big time!

Unless snotty kids named Jeffrey Maier are reaching for balls...then New York throws parades for fans who interfere. :rolleyes:

One set of rules for Yankees...one set of rules for other teams.

Bottom line is...players don't touch fans. If tht fucker Sheffield put a hand on me I would have kicked him in the nuts. The Yankess are no better then anyone else...get that through your thick head once and for all.

I'm kinda shocked. I thought the game would be a breeze, espeically since they beat Schilling the night before and there offense was roughing up Arroyo. But he kept giving up home runs! 2 of them were 2-run shots. I don't know what was going on with him.

Unless snotty kids named Jeffrey Maier are reaching for balls...then New York throws parades for fans who interfere. :rolleyes: [/b][/quote]There's a difference between Jeffrey and the incident last night. sure Jeffrey "stole" the home run, but he didn't hit the outfielder or try to slap at him. He simply put his glove above the fielders. But this guy last night either went for the ball or Sheff. I personally think his intention was to go after Sheff or at least to distract him. I don't think he was going for the ball, but that's just my opinion.

Sure they are, they're the Yankees. Who else has won 26 World Series or has as much of a rich history as them

Sheffield should have jumped in the stands and beat the hell out of him.

Bottom line - fans don't interfere with players. The guy should NOT have been sweeping his hand down there for whatever reason...that ball was fair (as opposed to fans swooping down for a foul ball, which is fine). That notwithstanding, from the angles I've seen, he did brush Shef's face, which certainly entitles Shef to the push in response. He didn't throw a chair, or bottle, or anything. He pushed the guy away from him, and then security stepped in.

Personally, if that guy wouldn't smacked me in the face, I would've beaten his Boston-loving ass 'til it was as red as their namesake. The Boston fans are worse than everybody else, get that through your Padilla-adoring skull once and for all. :p

Good point Double-J....

Bottom line - fans don't interfere with players. The guy should NOT have been sweeping his hand down there for whatever reason [/QB][/quote]So who kicked that boy's Jeffrey Maier's ass? I heard no one crying about fans interfering with players then.

Bottom line is....Yankee fans can do whatever they want. Everyone else they whine about. :rolleyes:

Who the hell is Padilla, and why do I adore him?

Yanks lose again today.

$205 million doesn't buy what it used to. This is their worst start in a long time.

Speakin' of big bucks, did you hear that they're gonna build a new stadium? Its expected they're gonna spend $800 mil and its gonna have 7,000 fewer seats than the current Stadium.

I'm too much of a traditionalist to like this.
