Does anyone else dream of Ken Griffey Jr. ever getting the chance to be on an AL club again??? I mean, he can't exert himself in CF, with his crappy hamstring, well his old legs and all.... dare I say it... I'd actually enjoy seeing Jr. DHing for the Yanks... I just miss the glory days when Jr. was the best player EVER... but the rumors say IF he's going anywhere, it's NYY, or ATL... of course, who's going to pay for his 12.5 mil..... pipe dream I suppose...
Miguel Cabrera is the also.... I hope he never wears the Yankee pinstripes.... |

The yankees...where are they now.

Center field: Wily Mo Pena, Reds. Traded for third baseman Drew Henson, who now is a quarterback with the NFL's Cowboys.
Left field: Ricky Ledee, Dodgers. Traded to the Indians along with pitchers Jake Westbrook and Zach Day for outfielder David Justice.
Righthanded starter: Westbrook. Part of the Justice deal.
Lefthanded starter: Ted Lilly, Blue Jays. Traded to the A's in a three-team deal in which the Yankees acquired Jeff Weaver and the Tigers wound up with Jeremy Bonderman.

Well, actually, Yankees are now all of a sudden on a roll. They won, like, their 8 or 9th straight game. They've been beating up badly on their opposition. I always expected them to come back - just like the last year's slow start. Watch my word - they'll win that division this year, as much as I'll hate that to happen.
Cream always rises to the top ... :disbelief |

Yep ... It's an amazing start to the season for D-Train (hehe, D Train is a name for a cool disco artist I like, hehe) it will be the toughest year yet for my Braves. Marlins are almost for sure set to make playoffs this year. Especially when my Braves' Kolb keeps blowing the saves ... f-cking terrible closer, I hate him ... |
for all the great work Leo Mazzone did with the pitchers, why Kolb sucks is a big :conf: to me |

He is the benchmark for guys who couldn't handle the pressure of new york...guy had what one error in 5 previous years with twins and then forgets how to throw to first base..but he was a great on base guy...Yanks also gave up tori Hunter and Cristian guzman in that trade |

Knoblauch actually had a good year or two before he started to melt down. And he had some big hits that won championships too. Eric Milton is nothing special. Not the greatest trade though obviously overall...
Brown never has problems with his pitching arm except his hand when he's punching a wall. It's always his bad back and his two cent head. I couldn't hate anybody more than him! Jaret Wright isn't gonna help either. Trade talk about Roger Clemens down the road I think is ridiculous, not gonna happen.
Yanks 7 in a row with Big Unit pitching today.
It's gonna be a flat out war this year in the AL East. Baltimore isn't gonna go away and Boston will definitely be there too. I don't know about the Yanks... we'll see.
I think the White Sox are gonna fade with Minnesota winning it again. Seems kind of obvious to me but who knows.... |

He punched the wall with his left hand :p
It's interesting to see if he can get back on top of his game... |
