Yankee fans are on the warpath
 

Jungle drums are beating in the Bronx. If you are looking for a good read, check out the Yankee message boards. After getting swept by the Sox again, their "fans" are calling for Girardi's and Cashman's heads. They're blasting the new billion and a half stadium with price gouging, leaving the real fans left out in the cold. And they're wondering what the hell are they getting out of their 220 million payroll?

It's only May 6, and a lot can happen, but for the time being, sit back and enjoy.

Joe Girardi is starting to feel the heat on ass and won't make it through July at this rate...

Re: Yankee fans are on the warpath
 

The new stadium looks a lot like the old one, but with more empty seats.

it's a tad early for Yankee fans to be complaining, a whopping 26 games into the season.

They want to fire the manager? It's not his fault managment spent the GNP of Brazil on three players and gave hima chicken***** bullpen, talk about a bunch of no name stiffs.

And the headhunter needs to go back into the pen as an 8th innning bridge to Mo, end of story..................

The Yankees will be all right, ARod is coming back. Just don't know if he's starting or coming out of the bullpen.

Re: Yankee fans are on the warpath
 

ARod pitches now? :D

Re: Yankee fans are on the warpath
 

arod is not going to do anything to help this team. lets all harken back 8 months ago when Mike Lowell came back to the same injury in roughly the same time. He came back like gang busters hitting very well for the first week or 2 then the adrenaline wore off and his injury began to nag him. he was a shell by the playoffs and sat out every game after rd 1. even if he comes back and is productive he doesnt pitch and you give up 6 runs a game you will not be successful against good pitching teams (Rays,Sox,Angels,&Twins) W/without Arod they will be 8 games out by August/September

There may be truth to the rumor that Frank from Glocester was seen at Walgreens with a carriage full of Preparation H.

Frank :youtheman: Joe Gee-ah-dee :rofl:

Re: Yankee fans are on the warpath
 

It's sort of like it is a tad to early for Sox fans to call Ortiz a bust. But I agree the Yankees so far are bad, but that can change quickly

Re: Yankee fans are on the warpath
 

These nuggets from the Yankee faithful:

Giardi needs to call these CLOWNS out.
Joe must go. Bring back Torre.
90 Million Tex-1 for 20 with RISP.
Worst bullpen in the Majors.
And you wonder why there are so many empty seats?

Stay tuned...

The Yankees should be fine. It's the first week of May. They were 9-15 without Arod last year IIRC. They won't be fine if Posada doesn't return, Arod can't play, and Wang doesn't get his velocity back. The Yankees have lost Nady, Bruney, Arod, Wang, Marte, and Posada to injury. That's a lot of talent & production that's missing.

As for the stadium, I hate it. I didn't like it when I first saw it, and don't like it now. It's one giant advertisement (as are most new stadiums unfortunately), and the seats that circulate from 1st base, behind the plate, on to 3rd base, are disgusting. I've noticed similar seating in some other stadiums too (KC I think has them behind home plate), and they suck. I hope no one buys any of those seats, in any stadium. Teams suck, in all pro sports, and I hope they all go out of business. I remember buying $7 and $8 seats for Fenway games when I was a teenager 15 years ago. Forget it now. I went to a Sox game 2 years ago (someone gave me the tickets cuz I refuse to pay these greedy teams), and the face value on the ticket was $85. GROSS. I went to a Pats preseason game a couple of years ago, and it was the same, $85. GROSS!!!! Celtics balcony tickets, $65. How can people afford to go? Don't get me wrong, I think teams can charge whatever they want, since it's their product. I just think they're all too greedy.
