Ezer örömmel csatlakoznék, köszönöm az invitálást!
Érdekességek a tavaszi előszezonból: -a Cards 3-0-ra verte az idei év lehetséges meglepetéscsapatát, a Marlins-t, Pujols megütötte első homerunját. -Beltran szintén ütött egy home runt-, Sosa viszont a tegnapi homerunja után, egy umpire-ral veszett össze egy strike-on és végül kizárták a meccsről :) -a White Sox 10-0-ra alázta az Arizonát, a Yankees szoros csatában 9-8-ra kikapott a Tigerstől, de mivel a dobókat egyelőre minden csapat teszteli, ezekből az adatokból nem lehet sokat levonni.
How many future Hall of Famers do the 2005 New York Yankees have? Of those players, which do you think will go into the Hall as a Yankee?
Off the top of my head, I think Randy Johnson, Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera are the most likely current Yankees to wind up in Cooperstown.
Should Jeter and Rivera find their way to the Hall of Fame, they will obviously represent the Yankees, having never played for any other club.
Johnson will probably go into the Hall with a Diamondbacks cap on his plaque, having won four Cy Young Awards with Arizona as well as a World Series MVP award. Of course, three Cy Young Award seasons and two or three rings from 2005-07 would certainly create a debate, but those things are a long way off.
As for A-Rod, it's too early to tell what cap will don his plaque. He has won a batting title with the Mariners, an MVP award with the Rangers and posted spectacular numbers with both clubs. But his contract has him in pinstripes for the next six years, so he has a chance to establish himself among the great players in Yankees history. Should he continue his stellar career -- and pick up a ring or two -- he should have an interlocking NY on his plaque when Cooperstown calls his name.
Other potential Hall of Famers on the current roster include Mike Mussina, Bernie Williams and Gary Sheffield, though none are as close to being a sure thing as the first four.
Gondold el a manager mit érezne ha a 42 éves, 18 milliót érő sztárdobója lesérül az első meccs második inningjében és nem tud játszani a szezonban többet :D
Es ha igy van, miert kurtolte vilagga? Csak ugy lenne eselye, ha nem szamitanak ra. Most, ha basere kerul es szabad az elotte levo base, biztos figyelnek, hogy megy-e.
Ez vicces volt:
"You ever see his leads?" Biggio said. "My kids aren't allowed to take leads yet, and I think they get a bigger lead than Roger gets."
Találtam egy nagyon jó beszélgetést Randy-vel az MLB.com oldalon. Ezek a részek tetszettek belőle a legjobban: :-)
"MLB.com: Do you already feel the added pressure to win that comes along with being a member of the Yankees?
Johnson: I don't feel pressure. I feel that everything is a challenge. I really do. That's pretty much the way I go about my job. It's not pressure.
MLB.com: You have played with three other organizations. How do opposing players around the league view New York and the Yankees. Is there a lot of anti-New York sentiment?
Johnson: I don't sense that. The Yankees are always a good barometer to see how good you are and how good your team is. When you're the best, people are trying to beat you.
I always remember something my mom said to me when I was young. She said if I wanted to get good at something, I should play against somebody who is really good at it and have them push you. I enjoyed tennis, I'd play with my friends, I played in high school, but I mainly played people I could beat. It wasn't much of a challenge, so I wasn't getting any better by doing that.
One day, my mom said, "Why don't you play the guy down the street? He's a tennis teacher." I got my lunch handed to me, but by watching and learning from him, I became better. When you have good players on a team -- and we have a lot of them on this team -- more is expected. But when a visiting team comes in to play the Yankees, it's a good barometer."
Tovább folytatódik a háború a Yankees és a Sox között
The Boston Red Sox will get their World Series rings at their home opener April 11 before a full house of 35,000 fans -- and the New York Yankees.
Pedro Martinez, Derek Lowe, Nomar Garciaparra and other players who left the team after playing for Boston in 2004 also will get rings.
Jó, hogy a hotdog árusnak nem adnak gyűrűt meg az összes fannak. Ehhez a győzelemhez aztán Nomarnak meg azok akik év közben elhagyták a csapatot az égvilágon semmi köze nem volt. Ilyet én még életemben nem láttam.
De jó újra látni ezt a párost a Yankees-ben. :) Mint a "régi" szép időkben. Remélem most már az eredmény is olyan lesz, mint mondjuk 96, 98, 99 és 2000-ben. :-)
Ahhoz képest igen csak hátrasorolták a Baltimoret ebben a Power Rankingban.
Tovább folytatódik a dopping saga.
Greenwood magának követeli a '88as AL MVP díjat amit akkor Canseco kapott. Egyszerűen kijelentette, hogy Canseco csalt és őt illeti meg a díj. Vajon mit szólnak ehhez azok akik folyamatosan Bonds papa mögött végeztek???
Nem csak eros, de nagyon kiegyensulyozott, plane, hogy csak 4 csapat van. Mert erosnek az AL East is eros (gondolom ezt a legnehezebb megnyerni), Yanks, BoSox, meg Baltimore is koltogetett (na nem mintha ez eleg lenne a masik 2 ellen).
Beltre, Ichiro, Sexson: vegre pontokat tudnak csinalni, szerintem Boone (2B) szamai vissza fognak esni (eddig o volt a "slugger" a csapatban) az elozo evekhez kepest. 99 vereseg nem lesz iden, 90 gyozelem mar inkabb. Bob Melvin visszament managerkedni az AZhoz, jott Mike Hargrove, szerintem jobb lesz. Egy playoff osszejohet. 3 gold glove (Ichiro, Boone, +1 IF).
