Oh man this is good... 20-2. I personally am a Jays fan and when I saw Cleveland post a 14 spot in the 2nd I had to post something on here lol. Any opinions on if this is any indication on how bad the Yankees pitching is going to be this year?

Time will tell, but it is only one game. I wouldn't read too much into it this early in the year.
Chien Ming Wang has had three lousy starts in a row though. That should be very unsettling for Yankees fans.

It's C.C. that Yankees fans should be worried about. Nick Swisher is pitching better than him right now :rolleyes:

From my observation, the teams with the bloated payrolls and hired guns rarely get out of the gate in a hurry.

i could care less about what the yankees do or dont do, until my team(chisox) faces them. i find it curious that so many people hate on the yanks for the way they spend money but they are doing it within the confines of the rules that are set in place.

they hate the yanks because they have way more money than other teams...including mine(TIgers)

I think watching this game has actually made my eyes bleed.
I'm so happy Wang got snatched up in the Fantasy draft before I could get him. :eek:
EDIT: 25-6?!

funny you should say that when the tigers have the 5th highest payroll in baseball lol
besides it matters not how much money a team has but if they spend it wisely :D

Well it's not that they lost it's just that I have a 4 hour drive home and I think I would rather do it sooner than later. They can score as many runs as they like a loss is only one loss and they don't get extra credit for scoring 20 runs. It was still a fun game just soooooo long. lol

right on.
im a huge red sox fan, and I got a feeling, it just won't work out. Paying burnett for so much and so long is a risk, he very easily could get injured.
oh yeah, yanks got killed today, right on :D

pretty good point, but I don't think the yanks spent their money very wisely.
The Marlins have the lowest total payroll in the mlb, and their 9-1...

fixed for ya.
i never said the yanks were spending it wisely just that people who cling to their dislike of the yankees shouldn't use their spending power as a reason. i understand why people do it but they should also look at the results. the yanks continue to overspend the rest of the league and they are in a championship drought. obviously their strategy is not working at the moment.

I think the Yankees spent money just fine. How can you argue with Tex, CC, AJ, and Swisher?

well actually swisher was brought in via trade :D
and as someone who watched swisher last year in the chi, he is very streaky so expect a 2 for 21 stretch soon enough.

They still pay his salary lol...he kind of reminds me of the guy in Shawshank Redemtion. the kid who got his HS diploma and got shot by the warden trying to help Andy get out of jail. Plus he's so hyper from drinking to much Red Bull.

Well usually the Cubs aren't good enough to get a thread of their own so the fans have to post in Yankee threads. lol

This. I also find it amusing how loud he blasts the music in the clubhouse...you can barely hear the other players when they're being interviewed anymore.
I'm not too concerned about the Yanks yet...we're only twelve games into it. They always do better after the all-star break too.

He adds some needed fun to the Yanks.

I'm happy the Yankees are struggling but it's still April if they are still a .500 team July 1st I'll be happy. Realisticly though come the All-Star break Red Sox, Yankees, Rays will be well ahead of the O's and Jays in the East.
