Bernie? Cano? Giambi? :slappy:

Man, you really have a thing against A-Rod.

It took me all of about 30 seconds to check out the stats during the Yanks recent run, and here's what I found:

Bernie 8 hits, 1 HR, 6 RBI

Cano 17 hits, 1 HR, 8 RBI

Giambi 10 hits, 1 HR, 6 RBI

ARod 19 hits, 6 HR, 18 RBI

Yeah, those other guys are just carrying ARod along for the ride. :roll2:

If you must keep starting these Yankee Love threads, can you at least take a minute to get your facts straight? It's all to easy to tell when someone is just yapping off the top of his head.

I don't call you Pussy, Pussy. I call you Stalker, Stalker.

Bitchandmope (yet AGAIN chiming in on a Yankees thread): "It took me all of about 30 seconds to check out the stats during the Yanks recent run, and here's what I found:"

Are you dense? I said ON THE VERY FIRST POST that A-Rod's numbers blow everybody else away. What does you rattling me off selective numbers (which don't include games played b/c Bernie's probably played in half the amount of games as A-Rod over this stretch) accomplish?

First off, A-Rod's played every game. Bernie & Giambi have been platooning. Cano was just brought up & started coming into his own during this stretch. The point is not, who's putting up the best numbers, but who is getting the big hits?

Bernie had a Grand Slam to win a game against Seattle, and a game winning double against the Mets. Giambi had two game winning hits on the West Coast trip. Cano has been a breath of fresh air (he will win Rookie of the Year & looks like a future All-Star at 2B).

A typical A-Rod RBI is what he did Saturday against the Mets: 8th Inning, 7-0 game, Womack on 2nd, and he singles to drive him in: 7-1. Big deal.

Watch the games before you comment. Just because they haven't played baseball in Pittsburgh in 13 years doesn't mean you've forgotten. Its still played the same way.

BuckeyeNation27: "i was talking about NDChief, pussy"

NDC: remember this name: Philip Hughes. He's the Yankees best pitching prospect. He's playing for the Charleston River Dogs (A Ball). He's a big kid: 6'5", 220, righty, & throws a 96+ heater, with a great mix of off-speed stuff.

He is tearing up A-Ball, should be promoted soon, and will be in the Bronx before you know it. Could be the next great one:

5-1, 1.66 ERA, 48.2 IP, 9 ER, 34 H, 14 BB, 55 K's.

By the way: did anyone see the Captain's play last night?? That might be the best play I've ever seen. The Jeter highlight reel grows by the year.

his run into the stands was more impressive and that wasnt even all that great if you can put the kool-aid down.

Disagree. That was an incredible play.

I still say his best was the running cut-off-flip to nail Jeremy Giambi at the plate in the 2001 ALDS.

BuckeyeNation27: "best play you've ever seen? he caught a ball running backwards and THEN tripped over some idiot."

Have you ever played the middle infield? Do you know how difficult that play is to make when you're out there by yourself, much less with a 2B right underneath you? It would've been a great play if he merely put a glove on the ball, but he caught it!

"his run into the stands was more impressive and that wasnt even all that great if you can put the kool-aid down."

Dude, you put the Kool-Aid down. Even the most die-hard, bitter Red Sox fan will bow down to "The Dive." It was a great play, and saved the game for the Yankees. Jeter knew he was going face first into the stands if he was going to catch the ball. You're not even sounding like an anti-Yankee fan when you so 'those plays are average.' You sound like a fan who's never done anything even semi-athletic in his life, and can barely get up off his couch.

that would have also been impressive if Giambi was actually out.

yes i have, 2nd base. what does that have to do with anything? he caught a ball and then tripped over somebody. if thats the greatest play youve ever seen you need to get out more.

never said it was average, but he didnt need to dive into the stands. that just enhances the legend of the play.


when arguing with somebody you dont know, you really shouldnt assume things about their lives. its just a stupid ploy people use to make them look like they are winning the argument because obviously i can't prove anything athletic that ive done....but try to at least stay on topic.

Luca: "It was an incredibly close play...but Giambi not sliding is inexcusable."

I don't really blame Giambi. He saw the relay from Spencer was way off line, he was cruising home (with what should have been an easy stand-up run), and all of a sudden Posada's got the ball.

I mean, Jeter's cut-off was so awkward (I never saw a play like that), that I can't criticize Giambi for being as shocked as anybody that he's 2 feet away from home & all of a sudden there's a play at the plate. I wouldn't have seen that coming.

ah that picture captures it perfectly. i can totally see him tagging the runner. :roll2:

It wasn't meant to prove anything...just a nice reflection.

If you think he was safe, that is your choice. However, when a baserunner does not even complain at the time nor in the press later or even show a reaction besides disappointment at the time...I would say he was out.

But, don't let that get in the way of your pot stirring :wink2:

I read a good account of the play from the on-deck hitter (Hernandez maybe?)...but he was flailing his arms giving the slide signal but Giambi ignored him or didn't hear his yells...he said he saw the whole scene in slo-mo but couldn't get Giambi's attention.

I have to disagree with you as well. That was an awesome over the shoulder catch. Have you ever even played middle infield to know how hard of a catch that was?

He knew the guy was under him but STILL never took his eyes off the ball.

I'm not the biggest Jeter fan in the world but have to give him props on that one.
