Official New York Yankees Bleacher Creatures Team Thread

Ya know, I bet everyone Yankee fan on earth knew this game was over the second Stanton came into the game.

[elicoleman]

You're right.

1 ****ing pitch...ball game.

Atleast the Red Sox blew their game, so that makes me feel a tad better.

Just wanted to add an interesting stat to ruin my and every Yankee fans' day even more:

Tony Womack is currently ranked 2nd to last of all major league position players in offense... proportional to the amount of AB's hes gotten (OBP, BA, SLG)

Yet this man is in the starting lineup for the 26 time champion New York Yankees.

I've always been the biggest Joe Torre supporter, but why the hell is this guy in the lineup? I could see if he was some unbelievable outfielder...but thats the thing... HES NOT AN OUTFIELDER. Why put him in the lineup? Your getting the same crappy defense from Bernie as we are from Womack... so we might as well get the better offense of the two.

[elicoleman]

****, let Reese play over Womack, I honestly don't care.

I don't know. I think he's a perfect fit for the only team in baseball history to have blown a 3-0 playoff lead.

In the meantime, you should ask your owner why Womack is on the squad. Torre does what he's told and plays the guys that Steinbrenner moronically throws his massive revenue at while ignoring the concept of developing quality talent. If Torre benched Womack it would prove Steinbrenner to be the moron he truly is.

I just read the Mets are waiting for a formal offer from the Yankees for Mike Cameron

The deal is supposedly setup as Mike Cameron and Cairo for Gary Sheffield....

As a Red Sox fan....I like it lol

[Misfit]

Hah, yeah right. There's no way the Yankees make that deal. It would be stupid on their part since they need a third outfielder and Sheffield is a much better hitter than Cameron.

[Stu]

I think Sheffield already said he'd retire if that deal went through.
