For everything else, there's Yankees Baseball.

A not so very exciting year in sports.

2007-11-24T09:51:50Z

Hello All, i know its been quite a while since i last wrote on here,

...before i begin, i'd like to send my deepest condolences to the family of pitcher Joe Kennedy who passed away yesterday .

Joe was a free agent currently, but in his career had played for the Devil Rays, Rockies, Athletics, Diamondbacks and Blue Jays. The cause of death has yet to be determined, but he died after passing out at his in-laws at the very young age of 28 years old.
He was just 28! :-( Its of course devastating when anyone dies, but when its someone this young and around my age, it hits me a bit harder. My prayers are especially with his wife and 1-yr old son. May he rest in peace.

++++

On to today's topic: the blah year of sports for me.

This has not been quite my year in sports. The Rutgers Football team started off with a bang, but quickly turned up with a 5-4 record, losing to West Virginia in a very disappointing 31-3 butt-whooping. Now we managed to pull to 7-4 with a game left to play against Louisville, but the damage is already done. For one, we are no longer ranked, which really blows, cause i really quite enjoyed being ranked last year. My only consolation however is that our division rivals and arch nemesis Louisville is also having a TERRIBLE year, even worse that us :-D They are 5-6 overall and 2-4 in Big East! There is some justice in the world, LOL. Now, i dont usually gloat at other team's failures, but Louisville gloats so much at us, that i dont really feel bad for this.

Anyway, the Giants are my only real *bright* spot so far in sports, but the Cowboys are distracting me from that a bit by pulling away from us with a record of 10-1 compared to our 7-3. Urgghh, stupid cowboys! Whatever.

Then, as we all know, i was pretty much depressed about the Yankees first round elimination yet again, that i didnt even have much words to say. Then the drama started like it always does when these things happen for the Yankees.

I have to say that i was quite sad to see Joe Torre go, and especially unhappy (although happy for him) when i saw him putting on that Dodgers hat :-(. So i that never really played into any rivalries, now officially hate the Dodgers, although i still love Torre.

Eh, such is life in baseball.

All is not bad though, because as you probably guessed, i am excited to the nth power that Alex is gonna be back with us next year!! and of course, him winning MVP was a no-brainer! I am also quite excited that Mo accepted a 3 yr contract and will be back. And Jorge too!! (and i am keeping my fingers crossed for Andy...)

As for Girardi...i've always loved him but sorta felt he wasnt quite ready to manage the Yankees. I expected Donnie baseball before him, but now that its him there, i've gotta do nothing but get behind him and the new coaching staff and support them and hope they will be up to the challenge.

I think collectively, we need to simmer down a bit with the cry for number #27 and just focus on rebuilding for now. I know some might think since the team will still be mostly all the same, no rebuilding needs to be done, but there are gonna be some changes, especially with a new manager. Some of the players (i.e. Jeet, Jorge and Mo) have only had one manager their entire playing career and would now have to get used to the styles and mannerisms of an entirely new one. Thats a huge change, and i am not sure how long it will take to adjust, but i know i wont be putting much pressure on the team next year, I think for once, i'm just going to try to enjoy baseball games and being a fan of the team and players instead of some cutthroat championship chase. And i know that sounds crazy to say coming from a competitive Yankee fan like myself, but i remember my high school soccer coach once telling me that sometimes, winning is not everything when you let your hunger for wins take away from the fun of playing the game. I sorta started to forget the fun aspects of the game some times this year, and really would love to recapture that next year.

Which of course is not to say i dont want them to do well. Of course, you always want your team to be the best...its only natural. I'm just saying if they dont win it next year, like they didnt this year, it wont quite be the end of the world, and i'll still love them regardless. =)

Hope everyone's having a lovely off-season. Take care!! =)

As we go to extra innings...this game is KILLING me!

2007-10-05T21:36:53Z

Andy Pettitte pitched brilliantly, but i am just a bit mind boggled how the Yankees only managed 2 hits against Fausto Carmona. Wow. Now i understand that he's a different Carmona than he was when we used to torch him up for multiple runs last year, but still, how do we manage to make him look like Cy freaking Young? Yankees lack of hitting in the post-season is KILLING me!
And those bugs?? Yuck! Cleveland is gross! Ok, this game is gonna like give me a heart attack...I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE!!

So yesterday, some friends and i had a round table discussion on a very serious topic...

2007-09-30T09:56:35Z

Why are the Yankees so really really ridiculously good looking?

I mean, i always wonder why other teams hate us so much. Sure it has something to do with being the most storied franchise in the history of sports, a monument park that reads like the who is who of baseball legends, the 26 Championship rings, having one of the best, if not the best, farm system in the majors, getting to play in New York City- the greatest city in the world and selling out almost every game, our roster of future legends, oh and something to do with the payroll too, but there was one more reason and i couldn't quite pinpoint it for a while. And then suddenly, like a bus going 90 miles per hour in the wrong direction, IT HIT ME! They hate us because we are beautiful, honey!! :-D

I mean, come on! Its pretty much common knowledge that we have hands down the best looking team in the majors. No other team compares. I'm talking guys that have a general wide consensus of being good looking, not guys that just a few scattered fans have managed to get adjusted to (Randy Johnson need not apply....lol, i kid i kid :-D).

Let's take a look, shall we?

Derek Jeter.

Is there any young girl in the tri-state area who hasnt had dreams of marrying Derek Jeter? I mean, at one point, i was convinced EVERY girl, her mother, and her grandmother, wanted to marry Derek Jeter! GeezLouise! Thats a lot of good looking mojo right there!

Alex Rodriguez.

Oh man, A-Rod's goodlooking-ness is just out of this freaking world! He's the definition of really really really ridiculously good-looking. Zoolander himself doesn't stand a chance! I mean, even those who hate him have to admit that the man is sure blessed with some good genes....and beauty products! Ha ha. Yes, A-Rod is a pretty boy, but thats ok with me and every other woman who fantasizes about him as much as i know they do! lol.

Andy Pettitte.

This is the hotness that means the most to me!! *grins* :-D

Robinson Cano.

I have to say...its that smile that won my heart over. =)

Melky Carbera.

Kyle Farnsworth.

(cant find a good big picture of him)

Andy Phillips.

Carl Pavano.

Yeah yeah, i know he's not our favorite crayon in the box, but man is he hot!! Yes, admit it. Carl Pavano is total hotness ;-)

Johnny Damon.

*Feel free to suggest more really really ridiculously good looking Yankees i may have missed.

Now have you ever seen a team with more really really ridiculously good looking players? I thought not!

Disclaimer: You should only take this post half seriously. Ha ha. I'm just having fun!

Now on to important matters =):

The Mets.
I watched the Phillies/Nationals game yesterday of course rooting against the Phillies. Very excited that they lost and man did the Mets win!! John Maine pitching a no-no into the 8th..19 hits??? My question is, what happened to this Mets team over the last week. Where was the enthusiasm they played with yesterday over the last week??? Anywhoo, lets just hope they win today and the Phillies lose. Then this can be all over. I dont have the best feelings for a tie-breaker between those two...

As for our Yankees...
Important ALDS news jacked from Yankees.com...

NEW YORK -- The Yankees will open the American League Division Series on Thursday in Cleveland, a result of the Red Sox's selection of a longer scheduling option following their clinching of home-field advantage during the playoffs.

Boston selected to play the eight-day Division Series 'B' after their victory over the Twins and the Indians' loss at Kansas City. The option leaves the Yankees to play Games 1 and 2 at Cleveland on Thursday and Friday before returning to New York for Game 3.

The selection has ramifications on the Yankees' projected pitching rotation for the ALDS. Right-hander Chien-Ming Wang and left-hander Andy Pettitte will pitch New York's first two games as expected, and the Yankees continue to hope that right-hander Roger Clemens will be healthy enough to start Game 3 at Yankee Stadium.

Without an extra off-day, though, the Yankees cannot follow through on their idea to bring back both Wang and Pettitte to pitch in Games 4 and 5. Instead, a fourth starter -- possibly right-hander Mike Mussina -- will enter the equation for a possible Game 4, while Wang or Pettitte could come back to pitch a potential Game 5.

I'm still just glad we don't have to play the Angels in the first round.

The postseason couldnt get here quickly enough. I wish we could skip today's game and just get right to it, lol. I feel the best about this year than i've felt about our previous years. Let's hope my gut feeling is right =).

Let's Go Yankees!!!! :-D

I just have to say...i really just cant believe the Cubs made the playoffs!!

2007-09-29T08:53:05Z

What is this, like the twilight zone? The NL is wild wild wild right now.

The freaking Cubs made the playoffs. Yes, thats right, those bottom feeding Cubs are on top this year. Lou Pinella must feel quite accomplished. Remember the Cubbies last year? Yeah, me neither. Thats cause they didnt make a sound. Ha ha. And guess who's not going to the playoffs in that division: The Cards. Wow. What a year.

The NL is wild. The D-Backs clinched a playoff spot also last night. That means even if the Pads were to zoom past them for the division, they will clinch the Wild Card. So all hopes the Mets have right now is the division.

Wow, i never thought we'd be having this conversation. I am really sad for the Mets :-(. See, i am a compassionate person, cause seeing the long faces of my Mets fans friends made me sad, while i'm sure if it were the Yankees in this position, they'd be taunting me like they did last year when we fell to Detroit. But i dont have a problem with the Mets, never did. I might joke that they are the second class team, the lil brother than hopes he can catch up to big brother, lol, but otherwise, its all love. Our colors might be different and our logos differently shaped, but in the end, we rep the same city, New York City.

I really really really hope God performs a miracle in the form of the Mets winning the last two games and the Phillies losing theirs and the Mets winning the division. Or the Mets winning next 2 and Phillies losing 1 and then they have to play a tie-breaker and Mets win. Or even, the Phillies may lose their next 2 and the Mets win just one and then there's a tie breaker. 3 possible scenarios there, God please make one of them happen! The Mets can't NOT go to the playoffs. That'd be horrible!! *crosses fingers*

I know chances are dim right now, but listen to this woman...

Well, back to the AL.

Last night's loss was dumb. I watched the entire game, and thats all i've gotta say about it. Thank God i didnt watch it with too much emotion or i'd be pissed right now. It was definitely a game we should have won to say the least. But i'm not mad at you, Mo, these things happen. Just dont let it happen in the playoffs.

Our loss last night enabled the Sawx to clinch the AL East title, their first since '95. Wow, congrats to them for finally breaking the ~~loser~~ second place spell. Haha. No biggie there. I admit i was kinda sad to watch our magical run of 9 straight division titles come to an end....I'd be lying to say we didnt want the division, but let me reiterate, after such a tough season in which many ruled us out of the running as early as May and virtually all summer, i am just glad we made it in. And you know, we made the Sox squirm while we did it. Going from being 14.5 games to now just 2 games behind, i think thats tremendous. We might have lost the division, but we didnt go out like *******. We gave those Sawx a run for their money, so i am content and proud of my guys =)

And now that we got all that out the way, we can settle down and prepare for the postseason. Man am i glad we dont get to see those Angels in the first round. Certainly not taking anything away from the Indians, but i've said it time and time again, the Angels are the only team that has succeeded in puting the fear of Jesus in me in this decade of baseball. Do i need to go back to the post seasons we've had and crumbled to them? I'd rather not. Please Red Sox, you can have those Angels! Please whoop their ***** for us ;-) ha!

This is the most exciting time in baseball, but at the same time, sad. Exciting cause its the postseason, duh! But sad times cause i am reminded of the long winter to come when i'd have to do without my Yankees baseball. Thats when i survive on watching encore games and Yankeeography while nursing my disease that i have termed BWS. Yes, i "started" a disease, lol. BWS = Baseball Withdrawal Syndrome. It hits me hard, man! This disease is no joke. BWS is a very serious disease, one not to be taken lightly! Symptoms include, nervous twitching, restlessless, continously flipping channels hoping to find something worth watching now that baseball is off, getting misty eyed everytime ESPN shows reels from the previous season, watching all programming on YES like a loser, searching Getty Images and Wire Images tryna find out what the Yankees have been up to in their personal time, and it goes on.

Anywhoo, we still have a month of exciting post season baseball left before BWS rears its ugly head. And lets hope this is the year the Yankees actually give me something to be happy about this off season. Yes, the chase for #27 is officially on again. =)

Let's Go Yankees!!!!!! :-D

The Mets.

2007-09-28T22:40:20Z

Wow, i'd really be sad if the Mets dont pull it together and miss the playoffs. :-(

Come on Mets, you can do it!

Ok, thats all i've to say for tonite. Back to watching the game. Farnsie just came in. He's hot =)

Notes on division vs wildcard: We all know it'd be pretty swell to win the division, but as long as we are in, after this heck of a season we've had, thats all that matter to me. Hey, maybe God wants us to win the Wild Card so we may follow theme with 3 of the last 6 World Series winners being Wild Card =). Who knows.

Raise your champagne glasses!! This deserves a toast :-D

2007-09-27T10:37:59Z

We did it guys!!! Or should i say, they did it. Heck, we all did it :-D.

I am sooo proud of our guys!! These pictures bring forreal tears into my eyes. I swear, i wouldnt trade ANYTHING in the world for being a Yankee fan . I love this team and this sport so much more than words can describe. Through the ups and downs that this team has been through, especially this year, i will always be proud of them.

After the game ended last night, it was like a huge burden had been lifted off my shoulders. I immediately reached for my phone, called up a few friends to scream in their ears, and then sent a tex message to each Yankee fan in my phone book. Word for word, here's what the text message said:

"Congratulations to all my Yankee fan friends!! :-D We are officially in with our win tonite! Remember being down 14.5 games? They (ESPN bum analysts especially) said we'd never make it but look at us now!! In your face, Steve Phillips (cant stand him). Its been a long tough season, but we made it through!! Now lets get that #27!! Yahhh!!! :-D"

That text says it all.

What a roller coaster ride this season has been. Man, i thought it couldnt get tougher than last year, but this season knocked me upside the head!! Wow. Can you imagine at one point we were beneath the Devil Rays??? But yet, i never lost faith in my team. I did have some times in the year when my optimism levels were at all time lows, but in the end, optimism wins again!!

Man, i'm proud of these guys. Everyone...from B. Cash to the skipper Joe, to all the young guys that stepped up, to Posada, to Jeet, to Deki, to Bobby, my Andy, Alex, Robbie, Mo, Farnsie, Melky, man...everybody!! Even Scottie before he left (i miss him :-()....i'm soooo proud of all these guys!!!

But this is only the beginning. We still have a lot of work to do because in true Yankee tradition, we always strive for excellence, and nothing less. You've gotta take baby steps of course, but in the end, our goal is number 27.

I'm gonna take it a day at a time till then. Just enjoy it as it comes. =)

Everyday just became a celebration!!!

Let's Go Yankees!!!

Nice Job Joba!!!

2007-09-23T18:00:19Z

Boy can that boy throw!!

Magic number to clinch post season berth = 2.
2 back in loss column being the Sox. Woo-hoo.
Good day overall =)

Let's Go Yankees!!!

Time for those magic numbers again!

2007-09-23T11:22:37Z

Last night's game was pretty draining, frustrating, roller coaster ride. Just like the night before it. But we prevailed, same night the Sox clinched a berth in the postseason. Good for them.
Our magic number for the wild card now stands at 3. Three more wins and we are in the post season as well. Just 3 more wins out of 8 games left and we are good to go. Well, 3 wins from us or 3 losses from the Tigers. Ok, i'm not saying this right, LOL, what i mean is a combination that equals 3 of wins by us or losses by the Tigers clinches us a post season berth! There, i think i finally got the terminology right. Ha ha. Phewww. Every year, the magic number thing hurts my head. And you'd think it'd be different with me being a math dork, eh. LOL. Too much math hurts your brain cells. Stay away from Math folks! lol, j/k.

Ok, so the Angels need one more game to clinch a playoff berth. If there's any team i DON'T want to face in the post season, its them. So what do we need to do to avoid them at all costs? LOL. I'm not all that afraid of the Sox and neither am i of the Indians. Actually, C.C. scares me a bit, but thats it. Speaking of which, i'm kind of proud of the Indians team for winning the division this year. I really really dont like the Tigers (well, after last year, lol), so glad to see them on their way to being knocked off upside their head.

As for the Mets, in a strange "hometown love" kind of way, i am rooting for them. I dont really have a big problem with the Mets has i have said before. Actually, most Yankee fans dont have a big problem with the Mets. Its the Mets fans that have problems with the Yankees, which i have deduced with a LOT of them stems from an inferiority complex, or maybe a rebellious need to stand up to the "big bad winning team". LOL. I have lots of Mets fans friends. We tease each other back and forth, but in the end, its all love. I love the team they have for the most part (except for Pedro and Lo Duca). How could i hate of David Wright and Jose Reyes?? I love those guys, they are great! Then good ol Willie Randolph...13 of his 18 playing seasons as a beloved Yankee...and i love what he does as a manager. How could i hate that team?? The only time i'd root against the Mets is if they are playing against us or if a positive outcome for them will affect us in anyway. Otherwise, go Mets! Lets hope they manage to hold on and keep those Phillies away!

Its gonna be a very exciting week of baseball to say the very least! I'll be watching!! =)

sniff sniff

2007-09-19T23:34:40Z

Do you smell that???

Smells awfully to me like...eer, i dont know...maybe...

1978!!

Ha ha :-D.
Bucky effing Dent yo!!! :-D

'Member him? ;-)

Alright alright, i wont get too cocky or make to count my chicken before they hatch.
But if this happens, YOU CANT SAY I DIDNT TELL U SOOOOOO!! The eternal optimist wins again :-D

Man, there are only 10 games left in the regular season. I guarantee you i will be on the edge of my seat with my fingers crossed for each one. Phewwww. I love that with the Indians sweeping the Tigers, we almost almost have the wild card in the bag, BUT, in true Yankee fashion, i am greedy and i want the best. I WANT THE DIVISION!!!

Let's Go Yankees!!!!

PS. Mo, I really truly love you with all my heart, but please please please stop tryna give this 24 yr old a heart attack! I beg of you! LOL.

PPS. And people wonder why i love Andy Pettitte. *dreamy eyed* lol. Thanks to this image and the brilliant stud that he is on the diamond, i'll sleep well tonite ;-)

Congrats on 200 Andy!!!! =)

OMG, amazing at-bat by Jeet!! Go Jeeet!!! :-D

2007-09-16T23:38:20Z

Homerun Baby!!!

People still pitch to this man???

2007-09-09T15:58:52Z

Homers #50, 51, 52, all within a 24 hr span.

Incredible!

I'll crawl out of my hole to say this...

2007-09-06T08:58:52Z

MVP Anyone? ;-)

2 homeruns in one inning? Who does that?? *smirk* ;-)

++++

Losing 2 out of 3 to the D-Rays was not the business, but taking 2 out of 3 from the Mariners was =). 3 atop the WC and we got the Royals coming in. Now, i've learned to stay humble and never underestimate any team in this sport. But i've just gotta say, its gonna be an exciting home stretch and i cant wait to watch it all unfold.

Let's Go Yankees!!! :-D

I love you Joba!! :-D

2007-08-29T06:18:30Z

...and Andy... :-D

...and Johnny D too!! :-D

Good game/win last night. Lets do it again today =)! What a terrible road trip we just had. I am so ready to put it behind us and face this stretch like the champions we know we are.
And oh, Moose skipped for next start. I kinda didnt think Joe was gonna do that too him even though we definitely need it, but ah well. Whatever works! Its crunch time boys! Lets do this!! =)

Go Yankees!!!! :-D

Alas, i do pay for this blog...

2007-08-19T19:17:14Z

...so i probably should use it more!! lol

I myself cant even fathom my laziness these days anymore. Its not like i am not keeping up with the world of Yankees baseball, alas, i'm stil very much a fanatic. But when it comes to updating my blog, i fall flat and the wind of laziness blows over me. lol. I keep telling myself i will do better. But i think i need to stop lying to myself. I dont know if my updates will ever be consistent again until playoff time. lol. Speaking of playoffs...how bout them Yankees, uh? ;-)

Anywhooo, was at the game the other day. The game when Jeff Karstens attempted to pitch. Alas, it was a miserable attempt at pitching, as we all know. Between him and the bullpen, we got blown out 12-0. Poor kid. I always root for the youngins, but i just couldnt get behind Jeff on this one. I heard he's back in triple A. Give it some more time Jeffie. Come back when u're really ready.

Here are some pictures i took =). CLICK TO ENLARGE.

Karstens attempting to pitch...

At-bat pitcures are easily my favorite. Here's my favorite player Matsui getting ready to smoke one (and he hit a single).

RIP The Scooter . You shall never be forgotten.

Hey, a lil somthing for u to chew on ! tee hee, i <3 how this pic came out!!

I think this is one of my favorite pictures i've ever taken. Its at least in my top 10. I spent a lot of time editing this shot to get it just how i wanted. I think it looks so very editorial, like one of those Nike commercials. I <3 it!! We thought this guy was hot, so i was sneaking shots of him. Thank God for super zoom, lol. Anyway, it took some concentration to get this focus right, cause i wanted to keep the focus on just him. I think i did pretty well =)

I love taking pictures of the little factoids. =) A lil Robbie Jose trivia for ya!!

I like those lil factoids, like i said before =)

A-Rod at-bat.

Now this pic is definitely a favorite. I loved the little boy's MoHawk, and so i wanted a pic. But he was moving around too much, so i just had to keep flicking till i got a good angle and voila!!! I <3 this picture to pieces.

It was my friend Myriam's (left) first Yankees game. I felt bad she had to come on a day they got beat so bad, but she still had fun!!! =)

Cyn, Me and Myriam enjoying ourselves despite being whooped 9-0 at this point.

Ok, thats all i have.
I have like 5 more games before season ends. So more pics soon =).
(PS. If you are wondering, yes i do take pictures sorta professionally, but no i am not a professional photog - i am a number crunching analyst bum, lol. I just have professional equipment and a very avid interest in photography. I carry 3 different lenses around with me, ha ha. I have a super zoom lens, which is why i can zoom so clearly on the field. All these pics were taken from way up in Tier Reserve seats).

All a bunch of tools.

2007-08-08T10:59:47Z

I've never had a real problem with an entire baseball team (minus the Red Sox) the way i now have with the Toronto Blue Jays.

The beaning of Alex yesterday was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. Maybe because i tend to be "defensive" or "overprotective" when it comes to Alex, but was that really necessary? You got your shots in on Monday, why not end it there? AND OMG OVER AN INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED MAY 30TH??? We've played them after that, why no retaliation then? Just wanna be big and tough on your own turf, heh? No respect. No one goes around beaning A-Rod (or any other yankee for that matter) and stays in my good graces *makes mean faces lol*.

I dont usually condone retaliation, but major kudoes to Roger for having his boys back. Yeah, thats right. Take THAT Alex Rios. Although, Alex Rios didnt have anything to do with it, which is often the case when this sort of things happen, except in the National League where the pitcher does get to bat. But hey, an Alex for an Alex. LOL. Hope that didnt hurt too too bad, Mr. Rios. *chuckles*

Anyway, in other happenings, except you've been living under a rock, you now know Major League Baseball has a new homerun king in Barry Bonds.

I am just more relieved now that its all over and ESPN can finally let me rest a bit with the Barry Bonds breaking news and pop ups. Boy do they know how to shove something down your throat, those good folks at ESPN, lol.

As for my thoughts on the new record, although off course i dont condone steroid usage if he did (and we all know he did), i feel like people tend to forget that he was an Hall of Fame player before the questionable years. Would he have broken the home run record without the supposed steroid usage? Only God knows. I did an "analysis" [Where were you when Barry hit 715] once and concluded he may have. But that like everything else in baseball is all speculation (tell your statistics to shut up). I am not God. I just know that if he indeed juiced, it doesnt take away from the fact that he was/is a **** good hitter/ball player before any of this came into question. So i appreciate him for that.

I have no real cause to celebrate him passing Hank Aaron, so i am not. I'm just not gonna hop on the * bandwagon parade.

Maybe because i have faith that my boy Alex will come around and take his spot soon :-D

So i say, Congratulations Mr. Bonds.
Enjoy it while it lasts. =)

As for our season and how our beloved Yankees are playing right now, you could bet excitement is an understatement for what i feel. Although i havent been posting much, i'm still very much the fanatic i've always been and you could bet that right now, i'm running around telling a couple of people i told you so with a sinister smile on my face :-D.

The team that everyone counted out the playoffs just 2 months ago is now only 0.5 games behind the wild card and a very slender 5 games behind in the division. I'm not about to count my chickens before they hatch, but i must say, with the best record since after the allstar game, i'm loving our chances at the 10th straight division title. Off course, gettin into the playoffs in anyway possible is what counts, but in true Yankee fashion, i always aim for the best.

I dont know why people *cough*ESPN*cough* kee counting the Yankees out the race early in the seasons. Same thing last year. Havent they learned yet?
The Yankees are a force to be reckoned with. Dont you EVER doubt or forget that. ;-)

Lets Go Yankees!!!
