So Long Yankees

[comedyisnotpretty]

Yes he has just signed with Philly. Yeah!

http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?secti ... id=7841873

I am laughing my butt off! He turned down the Yankees who were offering up a lot more money? Guess you can't buy everyone if they don't want to play for you! The Yankees are getting older, not necessarily better. Ba ha ha!

The guy pulled a Lebron....plain and simple. Went to a stacked team because his team got punked in the WS. Went to the bush league. NEXT!

But my point is ... He's still not a YANKEE!!!! He may have went to a stacked team, but the Yankees got beat out of their own game ( they have been stacking for YEARS! ( i.e., Reggie, C.C. Sabathia, Texeira, Clemens, AROID, Damon and countless others) , AND He took less money to not play for them! I don't care who he went to as long as it wasn't the Yanks!

Shock. S2M is wrong yet again. Cliff Lee is nothing like LeFraud. Lee is a classy guy. How do you possibly come to the conclusion he "pulled a Lebron?" MLB is a lot different than the NBA.

Also, did it occur to you that maybe Lee wanted to go somewhere he and his family preferred to live? Philadelphia is a Helluva lot nicer than NY, and regarding Texas, I would think the Phils have a much better chance to win the NL than the Rangers would having to win the tough AL. I've been to New York City, Philadelphia and Arlington, and I would pick Philadelphia too. They have the greatest sports fans in the nation, bar none. If you are a Phillie, Flyer or Eagle, that town will protect you, love you and die for you. I have never seen so much passion for a local sports team and so much pure evil and hate for an opposing player; the way it ought to be. I love Philadelphia.

And you and your retarded argument that the NL is the bush league. The ONLY reason you say that is because the Chowds are in the AL. If the Chowds were in the NL, I guarantee you that you would be bitching about the AL having to use a DH and not letting the pitcher hit, blah blah blah. You're such a dick, dude. I have NEVER seen you post a single fucking positive post about anything, except, "Book it, the Pats by 14." God, you get old real fast.

[S2M]

You are partly right, Dean...if Boston were in the NL they'd be winning 120 games a year....

And I really wouldn't put it past Philly to have had a plan of trading Halladay for Lee, then PLANNING on getting Lee back after his rent-a-few-months was over.....take a little extra time to contemplate a few offers - while secretly waiting to go back to the Phils so they could stack their team.

Dude! Are you serious? Are you talking about the SAME Red Sox who didn't even make the playoffs this year? The Red Sox couldn't win 120 games in the NL even if they thawed out Ted Williams head, extracted his DNA, and cloned him 3 or 4 times! If Baah- stun is so friggin' great, why did they have to make a trade with a NL team to find a decent firstbaseman?
As far as the conspiracy theories go, that is friggin' hilarious!!!! "PLANNING!" "Secretly waiting!" ""So they could stack their team!" Quick question for ya: Do you watch Jessie Ventura's Conspiracy Theories Program? The truth is out there!

You are just as daft as Seattle fan over there....you DO realize that HALF of Boston's opening day lineup was on the DL for 3/4 of the season, right? And they still won 89 games.

Off the top of my head, let's compare leagues. Both the central divisions have two good teams and the rest are shit. NL Central has Cincinnati and Stl and the rest is garbage- Cubs, Brewers, Pirates and Astros, while in the AL, you have thew Twins and Palehose, and the rest are shit; Tiggers, Royals, and Tribe. Wash.

The East divisions are both good. I would give the edge to the AL because they have four real good teams...The Yankees, Rays, Jays and Sawx..the O's of course sucking cock. The NL has the Phils, Braves, Marlins, while the Mets take it in the ass and the Nats of course are sucking cock alongside the O's in the DC/Baltimore area. Advantage AL(slightly).

The west however, is where the story changes. The AL west has one solid team, the Rangers, while the A's, M's and Halos all blow. The NL West has the World Champions, plus a very good Padres team, an always tough Rockies team, while the Dodgers and Snakes suck. Advantage big to the NL.

I would say from top to bottom, the NL is the better league right now.

So please explain to me how the red Sox, who didn't even make the playoffs last year, would increase their win total in a league that is better?

Exactly!

[S2M]

Thinking about it.....since the AL has the DH, the NL has a definite advantage when they host interleague games. That's the only advantage I see. Sox won 89 games last year with a roster of Triple A players....add Gonzo, Crawford - while getting Ellsworth(thanks Joe Morgan), Pedroia, and Youkilis back, and that's one hell of a lineup. I won't discuss pitching cause I can't stomach Wake, Dice-K, or Paps....

[Enigma869]

I have to think that the Yankees fans spitting on his wife might have influenced his decision too.

Ding, ding, ding...We have a winner! I realize money is a HUGE factor, but let's be honest. Even though the Yankees offered a lot more money, Lee and his family still got more money from the Phillies than they could ever spend in 5 lifetimes. The second I saw douchebag Yankee fans spit on the guy's wife, I knew there was simply zero chance he was going to NY. Her next trip to NY might bring out the Duracell batteries...again!

[Enigma869]

Sorry Dodger fan, but stick to commenting on National League baseball, because this entire post makes you look like a dope (and I'm the last guy to defend S2M, because 99.9% of his posts are fucking ridiculous). The Red Sox lost the top three hitters in their lineup last season, for most of the season and still won 89 freakin' games!

If Baah- stun is so friggin' great, why did they have to make a trade with a NL team to find a decent firstbaseman?

A couple of points on this moronic commentary. First and foremost, I'm reasonably certain that the Red Sox didn't "have" to make any trade. They chose to. Last I checked, their first baseman, Kevin Youkilis is one of the best hitters in baseball and a gold glove winner at first base! Enjoy Frank McCourt, who we ran out of Boston, because we didn't want him owning the Red Sox.

You think the discussion with his wife might have sounded something like this?

"Cliffy, you can decide where you want to play, but I'm NOT living in New York after those awful fans spat on me, and I will NOT live another suffocating summer in Texas! But anywhere you want is fine with me."

The season they had this year, winning ONLY 89 games, was amazing considering the loss of the players you're talking about. Pedroia was the MVP two years ago and Youkilis was close to being an MVP contender, not to mention both guys have been gold glove winners. Then you take the reigning base-stealing champ out of the lineup and that's a hell of a mega-hole in the lineup. They still managed to put together nearly the best offensive team in the game despite it. Put those three guys back in the lineup and they may have won 100+ last year.

Even if the pitching is only marginally better this year, and it should be CONSIDERABLY better, the Sox probably would clean up against most of the NL teams.

Power and speed at the top and bottom of the lineup, and plenty of heavy lumber (Scutaro excepting) throughout. IF Lackey returns to form and Dice-K can get his ERA closer to 4.00, assuming no other major injuries, this team wins at least 100 games.

Matsuzaka is a really frustrating pitcher. Here's a guy who could be winning 15-17 games per year with the stuff he has and yet he just can't keep it together. Lackey should be better but I just don't know about Matsuzaka.

Ever since '09 Tito has been defending Dice-K. "Oh, let's not get carried away, here's a guy that won 18 games last year, and 33 games in his first 2 years!"

Well you know what, Terry? 51 million just to TALK to the guy, then a 52 million dollar contract on top of that....103 million dollars for 33 wins in first 2 years, and a 13-12 record since....and 278 walks in 4 seasons.

PATHETIC!

Thats' what happens when you get carried away with a pitchers performance in the World Classic. Dope.

He was pretty good that second year but got lucky his rookie season. Since then, you're right, he's been pathetic.

Wow...I can't believe I actually agree with you on something. You couldn't be more spot on about Matsusaka. Dude is fucking PAINFUL to watch pitch. It seems like that fucker walks the bases loaded in every inning.

It almost seems like he WANTS to walk the bases loaded just so he can throw more pitches.

Sox can win 100 games especially if they sign Bobby Jenks to help out in the bullpen (and that seems to be happening). That was the only remaining weak spot in the lineup. Look forward to them tearing up the AL East this year.
