DDR Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Here's how the Dude is handicapping the race.1. Angels2. Red Sox3. Dodgers4. Giants (hey, the last few years of your franchise's existence was devoted solely to the Bonds HR chase, why not the next five?)5. CubsDark horse: White Sox, looking to make a splash. Reinsdorf has the money if he wanted to spend it, and the Sox could make some of that cash up in ticket sales, jersey sales, and hopefully winning and getting into the post-season.

DEAD! Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I think A-Rod's contract demands would be too much for everyone, which would mean he will have to resort to playing for...... the Long Beach Armada of Los Angeles of California of the United States of North America Including Barrow, Alaska. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 So the Yankees arch-nemeses are six outs away from their second World Championship in four seasons, and one of the best players of all time decides to leave them rather than accept the Yankees' reportedly astronomical extension offer. Oh, fun.Are the Red Sox the arch-nemeses of the Yankees? Let me laugh out loud. The Yankees hadn't any arch-nemeses.Does mortal enemies work? Yeaaaah, motion approved!!!

rams80 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Well one thing's for sure, we're finishing ahead of the Yankees in 2008 I'm not so sure....ESPN NEWS is saying Girardi got offered the Yankees manager job.

leedsunited Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 A Rod in a shocker to San Francisco. Period. Actually, I really wouldnt be shocked to see BOTH A Rod and Torre in SF next season.No, really...if that happens, i'll eat a 59/50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Besides being a Red Sox fan, I'm also a Giants fan. Although A-Rod could give a big bat to SF, I dislike him. Despite his recent, good work ethic, he was a negative aura.Joe Torre, if he comes to SF, welcome!!!BTW...

Andy Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 "Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya."THe Yankees need to get back to their '96 roots. Mostly home-grown talent with a sprinkle of big names. Not "BIG NAMES EVERYWHERE!!!!"This is a step in the right direction.except that they were reportedly trying to offer him the richest contract in the history of baseball, so it's not really a step so much as a stumble.

tp49 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 He should go to the Newark Bears or Long Island Ducks. I don't know why but I can really see him playing for the Giants. Just seems like a perfect fit for him and them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't there?By the way, A-Rod's postseason numbers aren't that bad for a mortal hitter... they're just bad for A-Rod. Up until game 4 of 2004, he had great postseason numbers... and he's not the only one that hasn't gotten it done for the Yankees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 If I remember correctly, when he was with Cleveland, there was a time when Manny Ramirez was considered something of a postseason choker himself. Wasn't there?I don't recall Manny ever being anything but Manny. Just like now he had his head up his ass at times in Cleveland but he seems like pretty much the same player now that I remember when he was here. I could be wrong on his postseason stats but he was never considered a choker here.He came up with the Indians and started hitting in his first game (which was against the Yankees I believe) and he hasn't stopped hitting since.

I remember hearing that about him somewhere. Maybe 'choker' is too strong a word, though, looking at his first few postseasons' numbers, his numbers were a bit subpar for Manny but they hardly look like A-Rod's since game 4 of 2004.I think A-Rod to Los Angeles makes the most sense, though I'm not sure how willing he would be to follow Joe Torre, since I'm not sure how well the two got a long. But most of their big contracts are up after this year, and they'll have a lot of young, cheap talent to surround him with -- league minimum guys with a ton of upside. A lineup consisting of Alex Rodriguez, Russell Martin, James Loney, Matt Kemp, Delwyn Young, Andre Ethier and some of their other young talent? Thats a team that can dominate for the next ten years.At first I was wanting him in Boston but the more I think about it, the more happy I am with what we've got. Trade Coco Crisp for a SP or a MRP and the Red Sox should be even better next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CS85 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I think A-Rod as far as players go would rather play in Anaheim with Vlad, but as far as managers go I think he'd definitely love to play with Sweet Lou.
