YANKEES ETERNAL DOMINANCE THREAD: WHERE ARE YOUR FREE AGENTS

Congrats, New York Yankees on your 27th Championship.  Haters gonna hate.  Arguably the Team of the Decade.

And if you're all "ah bloo bloo bloo" about the thought of another Yankees championship, then why not get out your anger (within reason) in this thread?  Just remember, though: we only hate the Yankees because we wish we could be them.

Why ARE you rooting for the Yankees, anyway?

I don't think this has ever happened before. The Redskins suck, yet the (Arizona) Cardinals and (University of Arizona) Wildcats don't.

Actually

I’m hoping the Phillies pull it out, since there hasn’t been a repeat NL World Series champion since the 70’s with the Reds. I’m just at peace if the Yankees win.

Nah. Part of the reason, perhaps, but I hated the Yankees every bit as much in 2008, when they were missing the playoffs, just like us.

Okay, sure, but check out Howard’s line for the World Series this year: .176 AVG, 10 SO, 0 HR. The dude’s only had three hits, and his teammates aren’t getting on in front of him when he does. This needs to change if the Phillies want to repeat as champions.

As opposed to ARod’s ONE hit in the WS?

First of all

I did acknowledge that A-Rod has been struggling (even though he has 2 hits, one of which was a 2 run home run), the difference is that the Yankees have largely been able to continue without him. The Phillies are struggling right now, and they need Howard to start producing if they want to get back in it. Hell, you even quoted the part where I make this point.

It was a double, not a HR,

and the HR that wasn’t a HR came right after Teixeira’s walk that wasn’t a walk.

Well

the walk was pretty cut and dry. Ball 4 to Teixeira was a much better strike than Strike 2 to Utley in the preceding inning.

Looks like another fun game

Burnett looking shaky early as the first four Phillies all reach safely, with three of them trotting round to score. Long may that continue.

Phillies adding on

First four have reached in this inning as well, and it’s 5-1 now, with men on the corners and no out. That’s it for Burnett. Dunno about the rest of his career, but short rest clearly did NOT agree with him tonight.

I have to say, if the Phillies hang on, I think they will have the pitching edge in Game Six too. But let’s get there first…

In case anyone was watching,

the Monday Night Football game was not as important (of course) as the World Series game, but was just about as fantastic. Saints go to 7-0, Falcons go to 4-3, but only after Matt Ryan gets intercepted on the New Orleans 5 yard line, down by 8 with 3 seconds in the game. Atlanta was down by 11 with 1:40 left, recovered a fumble, kicked a FG, then recovered the onside kick.

What a great night for sports. Epic WS game, epic MNF game.

Time for a Game Seven

It’s been seven years since the last winner-take-all World Series game [the Giants-Angels in 2002]. That’s the longest gap in Series history since 1912-1924 – and New York teams were the losers in both those cases. An omen?

And

the 2001/2002 series were the first back-to-back World Series to need a game 7 in 15 years (1985-87).

Incredibly, there was a series of four Series in the mid-50’s that all needed a game 7, the longest such streak.

it’s anywhere close to this level of rain, but could they dare to call this game on account of rain?

If I recall last year

Selig said something about how they’d call the game and resume it at a later date, even if there was a team with a lead.

“How many do they have?” the new manager said Thursday, knowing full well the answer. In fact, that’s precisely why he picked the number.

I didn't

want to say this earlier less I jinx anything, but on the topic of the decades that the Yankees have won the World Series: they also have won two World Series in all of those decades. It’s either two or more, or none for the Yankees, apparently.

it was a good 8 year run

without any stinking Yankees winning the WS, had to end sometime I guess, but we started something great back in ‘01. Oh well, they still suck. Team of the Decade? To me, bit of a stretch – 3 WS appearances and 2 wins is just about equal to 2 appearances and 2 wins by the BoSox – seems like they’d have to be the Teams of the Decade if you want to use that term without any one team utterly dominating.

I'd

disagree. Four pennants, two World Series wins, and 8 division titles is a better run then two pennants, two World Series wins, and two division titles.

The Red Sox certainly would have been the team of the decade, though, if anyone had won that wasn’t the Yankees, Angels, or Cardinals, at least in my opinion.

You’re definitely right, though, that there is no clear cut answer. A decade of parity, for the most part.

by soco on Nov 5, 2009 8:44 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

good point

would most likely be the yanks over the bosox if it came down to the numbers, but do agree it was a decade of parity.
