Blackout Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 The last time the Yankees started 1-4 was 1998. They were 113-44 over the remainder of the regular season, finishing 114-48 and going on to beat the San Diego Padres in the World Series. In all, the Yanks won 125 games that year.

Good point, except that was the last time the Yankees were a "team". Now, they're just a bunch of post-roids losers with no pitching staff and a terrible "there's no 'I' in team, but there IS 'me'" attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 You gotta all love the Mets fans talking about over-paid "losers" and how the Yankees buy their talent. Well aside from Wright and Reyes, who are you to talk? Pedro Martinez Tom Glavine Billy Wagner Carlos Delgado Carlos Beltran Cliff Floyd Need I go on? Yankees have brought up guys like Jeter, Rivera, Posada, Bernie, etc. Who the hell have the Mets brought up that arn't sitting on the bench aside from Reyes, Wright and for now Nady and Hernandez.

THE YANKEES PAYROLL IS TWICE THAT OF THE METS. And Delgado is playing great, Beltran has started playing great, Cliff floyd is always solid, and pedro and glavine have given great effort for the mets so far. and our MVP came up in our farm system. we have the youngest and most talented infield, and 3 of them are from the farm. we are 4-1, the yankees are 2-4, with twice the payroll ok? Even yankees fans call up WFAN all the time and admit that it's MUCH MORE FUN watching the mets than the yankees, and that we have a lot more chemistry and "team spirit". Why? The Mets are a team as opposed to a conglomeration of 9 different corporations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeter, Rivera, Posada, Bernie Williams were prospects over a decade ago. Wright and Reyes are 2 more home-grown players than the Yankees have produced this century.

mbn007 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Not really though, but I appreciate the effort. Obviously you rarely attend, if ever, Minor League games. There are plenty of teams withing an hour of NY City. I get to Staten Island and Trenton to see the Yankees Minor League affiliates several times a season. Great seats, very reasonable, and real hustle all the time. Also, since there are almost no TV commercials, the games mnove right along. And short lines at the food stands, as well as clean bathrooms. You can learn a lot about who is in your system from these games. It is a better brand of Baseball, IMO. I have seen several players in rookie league (Staten Island) and then seen them again 2-3 years later in AA (Trenton). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minor league teams are fun to watch I completely agree, I went to two Cyclone games in my life, however to argue that they are more fun to watch then a Mets game, especially the way the Mets are playing right now, is a joke.

124 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I loved going to the New Jersery Cardinals (Class A team for St.Louis) from 95-05. They were awesome. I met Matt Morris and Adam Kennedy along the way and saw a lot of young Yankees pitch down there for Staten Island. I saw Rocco Baldelli play and sat in the front row after he hit a solo HR when he was w/ the Renegades (Tampa Bay's) and watched him walk into the dugout. My uncle drove the bus for them in the summer when he wasn't on his firefighter duties and I got to go on some road trips with them during the summer. They are really cool guys. Now the team moved to State College, PA in the offseason they replaced them with a team in the NJ Jackals league (Sussex Skyhawks the new team is) and although it's not future MLBers it will still be fun to go to the games for 6 dollars for a seat and have a good time watching some competitve nothing to do better on a summer night fun.
