="Frayed Knot":3isa2huz] 2) Now Yanx fans get to test out their theory about how much better they'll be with some scrub at 3B rather than his un-clutch self.[/quote:3isa2huz] his replacement (who is it?) will hit .260/.295/.330 but will have a game-winning sac-fly and be pronounced the king of clutch by yankee fans. John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 05 2009 01:45 PM It'd be Cody Ransom at this point but I'm sure a trade for Argenis Reyes could be arranged if Cashman calls. Heh. Oh, and Jobba the Fat faced five batters vs. Team Canada today -- walked 4 of them and gave up a hit to the other and mixed in a wild pitch. Word is his velocity sucks. Farmer Ted Mar 05 2009 01:52 PM How convenient, cysts can be treated with antibiotics and steroids. For the doctors on the forum, is there a relationship between hip cysts and steroid use? soupcan Mar 05 2009 02:01 PM There was a caller on WFAN who said he was a former bodybuilder and steroid user. Said that cysts were common in steroid users at the injection site. He said that the hip was a common injection site. Again - that came from a caller so take it for what its worth. John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 05 2009 02:39 PM MFYs say no surgery, the plan is to just rest and play through it a la Mike Lowell and Chase Utley to name two other roided up bastards. Gwreck Mar 05 2009 02:46 PM ="John Cougar Lunchbucket":9tr4h4v3]Chase Utley to name two other roided up bastards.[/quote:9tr4h4v3] That reminds me, is he going to be out at the beginning of the year? Can't say I'd be upset if he wound up missing a few months. Benjamin Grimm Mar 05 2009 02:47 PM More proof that the Yankees doctors are a bunch of quacks, and that they secretly enjoy when players are injured. metirish Mar 05 2009 04:56 PM Rodriguez has a torn labrum in his hip but they won't do surgery , not a Doctor but it seems to me they are putting off the inevitable. MFS62 Mar 05 2009 05:12 PM If true, the Yanks will need a third baseman. How much time do you think it will be until Michael Kay suggests a trade of Robinson Cano for David Wright?

Frayed Knot Mar 06 2009 06:23 AM ="metirish":39cnszoa]Rodriguez has a torn labrum in his hip but they won't do surgery , not a Doctor but it seems to me they are putting off the inevitable.[/quote:39cnszoa] Yeah the cyst has supposedly been drained, but the labrum is a bit more problematic. IIRC, the labrum is the soft tissue that cushions the interior of the ball-and-socket joint that forms the hip joint (also the shoulder) so the problem is that it's very invasive just to get to it. bmfc1 Mar 09 2009 06:57 AM If Jeter was as great as MFY fans and the media says he is, then he should play BOTH SS and 3B until Rodriguez gets back. metirish Mar 09 2009 07:02 AM Cashman said Rodriguez was "excited" about the surgery , he's probably excited about the prospect of getting a "Bob the builder" band aid to show his friends. Centerfield Mar 09 2009 07:34 AM How come his prognosis changed from being out 4 months, to now 6-9 weeks? John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 09 2009 07:39 AM Because all they are doing now is a scope -- poke a few small holes in there and shave some loose cartlilege out which should free-up his mobility some. Then after the season he goes in for the complicated stuff.

mpve Ramirez so that you have no trouble starting both him and Reyes

who let the troll in?

welcme back and welcome back to the league! lets keep signups open for board members (and/or previous participants) until March 15th, at that point we'll open it up to friends, i just dont want a flood of outsiders to keep a spot from a board member who wants in! who are we missing from last year?

I was reffering to his career averages, and pointing out his position is pretty dumb considering that i said "as an offensive player" in my post, does that not make it obvious enough to you that i wasnt talking about defense?

]I don't think he can be no Roberto Alomar offensively. I think you're overating Alomar, we're only talking .300/.370/.440 here, a career OPS+ of 116. I think Murphy can do that. Dave Magadan wasn't very far behind Alomar as an offensive player.

If he can really maintain an OBP over .370 (he had a .397 last year in limited at bats, a .352 career in the minors, which was better this past season than the last) then he's a better than average player and a worthy starter even if his power doesnt grow much. Offensively I think he can be Roberto Alomar, but I'm worried he won't have a position longterm and his bat won't be worth carrying if he can't become an average defender somewhere.

Shawn Bowman (Canada), Stefan Welch (Australia), Ruben Tejada (Panama), and Jesus Feliciano (Puerto Rico) are all listed as part of the Mets' organization and are on the rosters on espn.com edit- i got beat to it, but Elmer Dessens is listed as a Brave not a Met here: [url:3izz30jv]http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/worldclassic2009/news/story?id=3844570[/url:3izz30jv]

My guess would be it was Borass repeating his original offer from November 3 more times. I am really rooting for Manny to be playing outside MLB right now. I wonder if anyone in Japan wants him?

http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/b1/88637 whether or not that link does anything when you're not signed up i don't know (it leads me to the league, but it may be different for others), but you should just be able to navigate to "join a league" on yahoo and input the information in my first post

Francesa is a loud, fat, obnoxious idiot. Wright is a perenial MVP contender. End of conversation.

if i don't know the score i'll consciuosly avoid it and read batter by batter in the "game log". if i know the score then theres no set order that i'll check it in

I would worry that matching the offer lets Boras/Ramirez use he Mets offer as leverage against LA with no actual intention of coming here. I wouldn't make the offer unless I thought it was going to be accepted, and even then I'd say to Boras (perhaps not publicly) that its a take it or leave it offer, we are under no circumstances going higher or dragging this out

hold firm, Dodgers. It is almost March 1st, I doubt there are many/any other teams out there who still have $25 mil left in ther budget for this year, much less the desire to commit multiple years in this economy to a player known to whine his way out of town when he gets unhappy. He'll end up a Dodger, and likely at the price they've offered, give or take a small amount so BorASS can save face.

="Gwreck":1l27ec79]I think you missed the sarcasm and humor. If you didn't, I'll further point out that the sign in question is a street name sign and not a traffic control sign.[/quote:1l27ec79] caught the humor, my post was meant to relay what i thought was an unusual story that i'd once heard, not to lecture anyone on stealing street signs. Gwreck Mar 27 2009 10:19 PM Citi Field Certificate of Occupancy has been issued: http://a810-cofo.nyc.gov/cofo/Q/402/321000/402321126T004.PDF

Wieters is supposed to be the second coming of Piazza. I hope Price is as good as advertised, he'll be giving the Yankees trouble for years.

]Would have been a fun thing to have if, you know, it wasn't illegal to steal street signs. Stealing a Stop Sign once got someone convicted of manslaughter, a car went right through the intersection and killed someone as a result of there no longer being a stop sign there. The car coming in the other direction didn't stop either, as they never had a stop sign to begin with.

="metirish"]What a nasty thing to say about Reynolds hiring . The Ripken card is funny. Who the heck is Tom Somach anyway? If anything I applaud ESPN for hiring someone after a court determined they were wrongfully terminated for sexual harrassment.

it was ok. Not nearly as good as X-Men 2 or Spiderman 1 or 2. A notch better than Spidey 3 because spidey 3 was bogged down by too many villains instead of really telling their stories. Terrance Howard was great in his supporting role, and they definitely did a nice job setting him up as War Machine for the future movies.

just saw this poll. 5/5 easy.

if they end up selling walk-ups the day of the st johns game i may go for the heck of it if the weather is nice, but its not worth planning ahead for

I don't think I've worn these in years. I had Olerud in black, Piazza in white, no other ones that i can think of.

a year older and possibly in a worse buyer's market. the Mets really dropped the ball here considering the price they paid for freakin Cora and the bargain rate at which Hudson signed.
