How about how much the Yankees suck? :p

Especially in the playoffs! :(

If you want to say they suck, then go right ahead. They have done nothing to prove otherwise.

Well I am not too sure about what you are referring to but if you want to talk about as a Cub fan how much you dislike the White Sox then go ahead. It's well known that White Sox and Cub fans don't really care for each other. No big deal.

Just do me one favor? Help me out when I attack Robinson Cano.

Well, let me share some of my thoughts on the Yankees this season.

What I hope happens:
- Jeter comes back and hits well and doesn't struggle too much in field.
- Ellsbury produces as he is expected.
- Sabathia pitches effectively with less speed on his fastball.
- Teixeira comes back from his injury and actually hits better than .250

- Soriano K's only twice each game, homering every now and then.

- Tanaka is as good as advertised and dominates from the start.

- Nunez stays in Triple A or is traded for someone, or something. At this point, a pack of baseball cards is enough.
- The young bullpen holds its own, Robertson shuts the door like Mariano, Betances turns into a shutdown reliever in the 8th inning (which is where Phil Hughes possibly belonged), and Thornton doesn't suck too bad.

What will probably happen:

- Jeter will struggle, because let's face it he is 39 and playing shortsop, and will probably spend time on the DL at some point.
- Ellsbury will probably spend time on the DL at some point.

- Sabathia will be good at times and at others will struggle because he will be for better or worse, pitching with a different body and that kind of change takes time and is not always successful. He may spend time on the DL at some point.

- Teixeira will struggle coming back from injury and will hit into the shift way too many times, and will probably spend time on the DL at some point.

- Soriano will K way more often than we'd like, while hitting the occasional home run.
- Tanaka will be good. He wil also be facing better hitters and run into more trouble than ever before. Growing pains ahead.
- Nunez plays way way more than he should.

- The young bullpen will work at times, then it won't and the Yankees go on a spending spree for overpriced and over the hill relievers.

- Brian Roberts will probably spend time on the DL at some point.

So, that's it.

The Yankees are an extreme boom or bust team this year. Things may turn out pretty well, or pretty bad........ Depending on whether you are the pessimist or the optimist, you can discount their chances or predict them to fo to the World Series. As I said, things can be very smooth this year for the Yanks, but can also be a horror show....Nonetheless, this season will be an interesting year for Yankee fans like me :spiteful:

Jeter my friends. Lets hope he has a great year and stays relatively healthy. He is the last one left from the renaissance era of the bombers.

I am hoping for the exact same thing. But I am going to hold my breath every time he lands on that ankle hard.

And who could not love this guy's screen name? Snodgrass1912?

pretty bad is subjective. the twins can lose 90 games and everyone says they're rebuilding. the yankees lose 90 games and there will be riots.

That's because of the pressure the fans and press put on the team. What these SOB's really need is a few rebuilding years.

I never underestimate the Yankees no matter how bad the team is. The way they spend money they can always find a way to sort things out.

Yeah but that only goes so far.

i remember when he was supposed to be jeter's heir.

At this point, I'm not sure that there was a lot to inherit.

So, 4 games into the season and where is Tex? That's right folks, the DL.

It hasn't even been a week yet and we have two key players on the disabled list, our worthless SOB first baseman and our closer.

You know why I hate Teixeira? Because he had all his good years playing for other teams. As soon as he got to the Yankees and got his 22 million a year (that's a joke in itself) it's like he started to shut it down a little at at time.
