So true! I'm almost positive we would have picked him up if we could have gotten rid of Ramirez (I'm soooo sick of him). Oh well.

[logamus]

thank the lord. im so tired of a rod.

Where is Jeter going to play then?

Also, they have offense, but how will their pitching be?

Go O's!!!!!!

[CasingBill]

A-Rod has reportedly agreed to move to 3rd. Also their pitching should be good as long as Kevin Brown stays healthy. The starters should be Mussina, Brown, Vasquez and Leiber.

Leiber and Brown are both coming back from injury but are presently healthy. Brown is unbelievable as long as he is healthy. Vasquez is supposedly the next Pedro. He played for the Expos so no one knows him.

If this happens I will be pretty happy.

KILL THE YANKS!


ah hell, who am I kidding, the O's couldn't kill anything...

god I hate being an O's fan....

[CasingBill]

Cheeri O's are still good

i am freakin pissed, I am Yankees fan and all. but seriously arod is just BLAH! he's there for money not to play the sport, i dotn like him at all. Soriano is a better player straight up than Arod, idc what you guys say. Soriano will outlast Arod and for God's sake Soriano almost went 40/40 last year. Soriano is a much much much better play IMO.

dude...what are you smokin??? soriano is better than a-rod???

did u see the world series? soriano batted 280 last year. a-rod bat 340 something. did u see how many errors soriano made? You don't have to like the trade but be realistic.

Baseball...

yankees suck, arod swallows

[FreakBaller12]

casing,
i know arod is a better player. Anybody that can read stats can tell you that. I am jsutu nhappy with the trade as soriano was a very good ball player, was cheap, and is new and still did good. Soriano isn't even in his prime yet. Ijust don't like how the yanks are becoming all money. If they are so good, how coem they can't beat their amazing season when they had not huge flashy players, Like Tino, O Neil, Brousies(sp) El duque. The rest of em too.
