This is an interesting article in which you can see that Baseball had similar problems all the way back to 1918, when there was only eight teams in the American League. It's always been the haves versus the havenots in baseball. Crawdaddys

Members, Though, this is an adult rated site, let's show a little class in regard to how we express ourselves. Thank you. Crawdaddy

The only time I ever rooted against the Yankees was in 1964, when my baseball hero pitched the Cardinals to the WS championship over my local Yankees. Of course, that's when I was in my youth before the reserve clause was eliminated when fans of the game had a more personal and emotional...

Now, if you really want to see how much the All-Star game has changed over the years. I couldn't believe seeing Barry Bonds lift Tori Hunter in the air after Hunter robbed him of a homerun. Do you think Pete Rose, Ted Williams, or Bob Gibson would think of doing such a thing. The lack of...

To simply blame one man for what happened tonight is what's wrong! More than a few variables came into play tonight to cause this event. Crawdaddy

Let me add one more thing. Once the emphasis changed from the individual leagues trying their best to win the game to now making it a feel good event for baseball with each player getting a chance to play then what occurred tonight was bound to happen. The era of specialization with pitchers...

All-star game ended in a tie due to mismanagement by Torre and Brenly in not only how they used their players, but who was on the respective squads. Of course, some of that is due to certain players bowing out of the game, who happened to be some of the top pitchers in the game. I hope the...

Unlike Seth, I actually like Clemens! I like players who have a mean streak, hence my favorite all-time baseball player was a mild-mannered guy by the name of Bob Gibson and my favorite football team is the Oakland Raiders owned by a renegade owner. Where were you between 1989-1992, when I was...

Let me say a couple of things, as a veteran sports fan I enjoy talking a little smack and ribbing fans of other teams, but I don't like nor will I tolerate any member issuing personal insults or questioning another member's integrity. Let this be a final warning that anybody who crosses that...

I can't help doing so when I read such posts! Crawdaddy

Since 1976, Yankee Stadium capacity is around the 56,000 mark not 65,000. Also, the real advantage Steinbrenner has is that he is the senior owner in baseball without having any debt beyond his payroll and operating expenses. That's what happen when you buy your team in 1973, while most other...

:rolleyes: Sorry, while growing up in the NYC Metro area when I started rooting for the Yanks, there wasn't even a team called the Mets. At that time, both the Giants and Dodgers were stolen from NYC and taken to the West Coast. Also, it sounds to me that you know very little about Yankees...

There's no need to mention it since fans of other teams, such as yourself will do so for us.;) By the way, when Seattle makes their next trade before July 31st, please tell me again about their 88 million dollar budget. Crawdaddy

Let's see, only three Yankees fans have responded to this thread since the trade was announced. Two of the three are in agreement with the following quote made by one of them. If that's the case then it looks like the majority of the Yankees fans in this thread are upset about losing the...

Michael, It's not Lilly that Yankees fans are upset about losing, but the two propects that we think will be very good major league players. Since you're not a Yankees fan, please give credit to those that are fans, who have a little more knowledge about the players involved in this trade...

At the beginning of the year that might have been true, but not now! Soriano has come a long way in learning to play second with most of his errors occuring in the first 40 games of the season and with Mondesi in right they have strengthen their outfield defense. Though Giambi isn't a great...

I guess nobody is perfect.;) Crawdaddy

Spoken like a true Red Sox fan! Crawdaddy

Speak for yourself about getting Steinbrenner out of baseball! There are millions of Yankees fans that would disagree with you on that point, including me. Like most Yankees fans, I've had my problems with Steinbrenner over the years, but there isn't another team owner I would trade him in for...

When your beloved Mariners make their trade move then I'll remind you of the rich getting stronger. Crawdaddy

That's my initial reaction until the Yankees really show their hand before the midnight hour strikes for August 1st. Jason Arnold and John-Ford Griffin were a pair of my favorite Yankee prospects. Crawdaddy

Tomoko, When Seattle makes their next trade before July 31st to improve their ballclub, would you accuse them of buying another WS ring? Crawdaddy

As a life-long Yankees fan, I can't put into words my disappointment in this trade. What an awful trade from the Yankees perspective. There has to be another trade in the works for the Yankees because why have six established starting pitchers? Hernandez perhaps??????? Crawdaddy

However, you're probably a fan of some team those fuckin Yanks have beaten over the years! Crawdaddy

That's true and Red Sox fans are experts when it comes to losses especially in October.;) By the way, 83 years and counting. Crawdaddy
