Good morning….metropolitan bloggers! Big game tonight, good luck……I find something troubling here, at this site. Yesterday morning, I was addressed by a guy named Hankies. I was called a clown, and told to leave this site. A bit unusual?……….I asked him last night, why he is rude, and abrasive to other posters at this site. Look at his comments to jim22/44, who can take care of himself, comments to others, and now me. For what?…………………Today, I get a response of 24 sentences…none of which addresses the question…”why are you so rude, and abrasive to others.” And, told to go away, again. I have been selected, as have others, by this poster, Hankies. I have done exactly what everyone else here does…post thoughts, opinions, and mix in humor. We all can not be JimmyToucan, but I try. Enough of this Hankies garbage………he owes those he offends, an apology…………..patrick.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO READ WHAT OTHER PEOPLE WRITE
I write to read my own words, lol,, but it is true
They aren’t getting under the 2013 budget, which is ~179M. Not a chance.
Shoot for 189M in 2014/15 so they can get their luxury tax back down to 15% and their rebates from profit sharing.
With that said, who cares about the damn budget when we’re in the middle of a playoff series?!?!? FOCUS!
Jimmy it beats reading about A-Rod and RISP!
Everyone has a different idea of what to do with ARod but it seems like most everyone agrees he shouldn’t be hitting 3rd. Orel Hershiser said on the Radio this morning that he would bat ARod 2nd, Cano 3rd and Ichiro 4th!?
No matter what you do with ARod, I think it’s clear that the Yanks need to bunch their 3 top hitters and right now they are Jeter, Ichiro & Cano…..they should be the top 3.
Actually a survey of fans voted to have A-Rod bat third 2 days ago on WFAN!
A-Rod needs to be in the bottom part of the order. I’m getting sick and tired of his RISP fails and his $300 million dollar strikeouts.
Hello, Hershiser should stick to the little league world series, he’s terrible. Hit Ichiro 4th, he didn’t hit 4th in his prime.
bat arod cleanup then
make him wear in big bird costume in support of PBS
I love it Jim Katt out did Costas on the Presidents thowing out the first pitch. This is ying and yang for me, I love Katt and hate Costas. Teddy won, I ordered my Let Teddy Win shirt. Teddy and the Rough Riders was always my favorite president. Yanks need to walk softly and carry a big stick today! Frank Robinson throws out the ball in Washington, what a player!
