MikeO said:You just labeld Johnny Damon as a "choke artist" in another thread. Didn't he win the Red Sox a ring??? Yet now he is in NY he is a "choke artist" because of what he did in the WBC! :sidelol:
And the Yankees are failures? Let's see.......won 4 rings in 5 years. In the playoffs every year. Win the division every year for 10 years straight......yeah, I will take that kind of failure every year. It is unrealistic to expect a team to win the World Series EVERY season! I don't care what the payroll is.
I understand you hate the Yanks and thats cool and all. But when you post things like you wouldn't want AROD on your team (or Manning on the fins) you lose ALL CREDIBILITY! If you are a fan of a team you want your team to have the best players (who aren't murderes or killers or something). You take your Yankee hate to the 1,000,000,000th degree and you come off looking like a fool. I don't like the Red Sox and Schilling, I think he is a pompus ***. But if I could get him on the Yanks tomorrow, I would take him!!!!! Because he is an upgrade and a good player! :shakeno: I'm not gonna take the Red Sox hate to such a degree that I would say something stupid like......"I don't want Schilling on my team"
Of course you would.... Because Schilling is a winner... I'd take Jeter on the Red Sox in a heartbeat... So, whoops, there goes your argument...
It's terrific to harp back to your successes of the late 90s, when you upped the ante on player payroll. But really, that's not at all what I'm referring to here. I'm talking about the near 1 billion dollars your hero owner has pissed away since his last title. Who looks like a fool?
As for Damon, I never said he was a choke artist, I merely said he want 1-for-4 in the WBC... Now you're making things up... However, now that he's with New York, and his attention-craving woman has equal spotlight and he's with all the other Rolls Royces in the clubhouse, here's another prediction: He'll never win another title either.
Face it: Your favorite team has no cohesion, no youth and no patience. History tells me that's a bad, bad precedent.
