Die Hard New York Yankee fan Ivonne Hernandez is being charged with reckless second degree murder, aggravated driving while intoxicated and two counts of reckless conduct. Harnandez was in a bar full of Red Sox fans, when a couple of guys at the bar started heckling her. She got up and left and the guys kept at her and she got in her car and proceeded to leave and backed into the guys to give the a scare. One of the guys flew 48 feet in the air and the other suffered minor injuries after getting hit. She is being held with out bail.
When does heckling go to far? I feel that this is way to to far to kill someone over. Does anyone out there have any other Heckling stories that they have seen go far?
After a couple weeks of hearing that Roger Clemens was on Steroids and that he lied to the grand jury, it is now being reports that he had an on going affair with a country singer. The girl in question was 15 years old when they met and guess what he is denying this too. Roger how much more denying can you do? You say you didn't do roids, you say that were not at a party at Jose Canseco's house. Roger your a liar and a cheater and frankly you are a disgrace to the Yankee pinstripes. I hope you wear the Red Sox's Cap proud when you go into the Hall of Fame. You do not deserve your World Series Ring or the Car that gave back and I wish that Mike Piazza would of knocked you out when you threw the bat at him in your Roid Rage!
Roger in my book you are a disgrace to baseball and to your family. You Cheated and lied about it. Pete Rose may have bet while he was a manager and is ban for life you need to be banned too, but since your not a real man and will not stand up and say sorry I made a mistake forgive me you are a piece of crap.
In closing go have your fun with the young girl by your side cause I hope yoru wife leaves you and takes all the money.
The David Ortiz Jersey that was buried in the new yankee stadium, is up for auction on Ebay. They Starting price for the Jersey was $500 dollars. It is now up to $33,100.00 and is rising. Who in there right mind would pay that much for a jeresy? If I had the money I would, Then I would take it and bury it at Fenway Park. and sprinkle the Curse all over the field so they start another drought of not winning games.
The 2008 Major League Baseball season could be a really interesting one. The are many questions flying around about many different things in the league. Will this be the year that he Chicago Cubs end the curse? What team will Barry Bonds end up on? Can the New York Yankees win with A Rod? How will Joe Torre do in Los Angeles? That is just to name a few that I will be giving you answers to in the next week. I myself think that the Yankees are going to win it all again. They have retooled there pitching staff with young arms, but still have veteran leadership to take them to the promise land.
My World Series predication is going to be the Chicago Cubs vs. the New York Yankees. With the Yankees winning in 6 and closing the door of Yankee Stadium in style.
Hello Sports fans. I am predicting it now this is the year of the New York Yankees. They have a lethal lineup. Plus, if there starting pitching is good they will win 100 games. Like I said you heard it hear first. The Yankees will win 100 games and the world series. I am also going to start polling now for George Steinbrenner for President and Derek Jeter for MVP. One last thought, The Boston Red Sox's Suck.
The American League MVP winner is: Alex Rodriguez. This is a man that plays well in the regular season and cannot do anything in the post season. If rumors are true he will end his career in the Bronx. He will be the all time home run leader and maybe he can have the most home runs in a season. He will also help bring another title to Yankee town. If A Rod does not sign his deal what team do you see him playing for? why?
Even though I do not agree with it the Yankees have brought back A Rod. I really hope he gets out of his post season slum. Now also I am hearing that they are bringing Mike Lowell to make him a first base and also trying to make a run at some pitching. I want to know you heard it here first! The Yankees will be back in the driver seat in 2008 and win the World Series.
Joe Torre was introduced as the Manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers. I would like to congratulate him on moving from one powered franchise on the East coast to the Yankee like team in the National, on the west coast. I believe he will bring a World Series ring to LA.He is bring along Mr Yankee, Don Mattingly as his hitting coach and Larry Bowa will either become his bench coach or third base coach. Can Joe win world series with the Dodgers as he has in New York? Will he get the same payroll and talent? What is everyone expectation on how well he will do?
I would Like to introduce the new manager of the New York Yankees....
Tuesday, October 30, 2007
Joe Girardi has accepted the job as the manger of the New York Yankees. Girardi was offered the job over to great guys. Don Mattingly was a lot of the fans choices, Tony Pena is a great player motivator that can get a lot out of his players. The Yankees decided to pick experience over popularity. Girardi in my opinion is the better choice. Mattingly was an all around good player, but what experience does he have? Sure he has been with the Yankee the last couple of years as hitting instructor and bench coach. Girardi took the youngest team with the lowest payroll in baseball to an above 500 record and almost got them in the playoffs.
My feeling is Joe Girardi, knows the game well. He was a catcher so he will be able to judge his pitchers and when they are needed to be pulled. This also may help the Yankees bring back player such as Marino Rivera and Jorge Posada.
I will say it now Joe Girardi is going to win Manger of the Year next year and the Yankees are going to close down Yankee Stadium with another World Series Ring.
Yankees Fans we will have a new manager in about 2 days I am thinking. But, the question I have is who will it be? I have a couple of people in Mind.
Joe Girardi- He was there catcher from 96 to 2000 so he knows what it is like in the Bronx. As he was manager of the year in 2006 with the Florida Marlins.
Don Mattingly- He bleeds Yankee blue. Was the first base for them until 1995. Never has won a world series. He has been the bench coach for 4 years and is George Steinbrenner's Choice for Mangers. ( That being said what the boss Say's goes.)
Lou Piniella- He also bleeds Yankee Blue. This is a Long Shot, since he is managing the Chicago Cubs. But don't count him out.
I have given you my choices any one else have an opinion let me know who your choice is?
After making the playoff for the past 12 season and going 4 and 2 in the world series, New Yankees Manager has turned down a deal that would make him the coach next season. He turned down a 5 million dollar deal that was 2.5 million less than his old deal, plus he was not guaranteed the 2009 season unless the team made the world series. To me this is bad. Joe Torre is everything the Yankees every want in a manger. He is calm Cool and collective. He has the New York/Gangster mystique. I would like to thank Joe for being able to see him manage the greatest team in baseball and let him know that he will be missed.
So where does this leave the Yankees? Who would you like to see them get to replace Torre?Also do they start the rebuilding process?
This goes out to all the people out there that Hate the Yankees. I have heard people call them the evil empire. The Store bought championship team. Also heard them called the billionaire club. I do not see how you can hate a team that likes players that win! I have been a Yankee fan for a long time and they have not won anything since getting these high paid players, the titles they won were from players that were from there minor league system. The team is not winning games by paying the players what they pay them, they have won the titles because they are a well managed team. Joe Torre has been the main reason. Also, they have a team leader in Derek Jeter that wears the Yankee uniform with pride. He is to the Yankees the same as Michael Jordan was to the Chicago Bulls. I know that Torre Manged other teams and couldn't win, but he did not have the bench coaches and the players that worked well together. It is a team game people. The reason they got hot at the end of the year is not ONE Player. IT is cause the all came together and started playing good. So the question I ask is why do you hate the Yankees so much? What would you say if the Kansas City Royals did the same? If you are not a Yankee hater what do you love about the team?
ALDS Series ONE: Los Angeles Angels vs. Boston Red Sox. (3-2 Boston Wins.) Boston was the winner in the AL East and had a dog fight holding on to the lead in the finally games of the season.Los Angeles played really well all year and they have a great manager that know how to win. I think this is going to be a good series with Boston pulling it out narrowly. ALDS Series Two: New York Yankees vs. Cleveland Indians. (3-1 New York Wins) My brother is going to kill me on this one. Cleveland was won the division 2 weeks ago and it is hard to get the motor going again. I think Cleveland will take the first game at the Mistake by the lake, but the Yankees have more experience and that is what is going to help them win the series. ALCS Series: New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox's (4-2 New York Wins) Yankees Vs Sox again. I know this one is getting old. I Believe this is the best rivalry in baseball. The Red Sox have really played bad down the stretch and the Yankees are playing like a team on a mission. NLDS Series ONE: Colorado Rockies vs. Philadelphia Phillies (3-2 Colorado Wins) Two of the hottest teams in baseball meet up in the first round. Colorado has not been to the playoff for 12 years. Philly came back from 7 games down to win the Division. Who has enough gas to win the series. I think Colorado will pull this one out in five, but all the game will be really close. NLDS Series Two: Chicago Cubs vs. Arizona Diamondbacks (3-0 Chicago Wins) If the cubs get there bats going and the pitching is really good. This could happen. Arizona has a young ball club. The Cubs of the Curse of the Goat and Steve Bartman. I feel the Cubs are going to sweeps the diamondback. NLCS Series: Colorado Rockies vs. Chicago Cubs (4-2 Chicago Wins) In 2003 the Cubs were 5 outs away from the world series. But that was a completely different team. This team has a Great Manager who does not believe in Curses and know how to use his pitching staff.
World Series: Chicago Cubs vs. New York Yankees I have put the winners next to the prior games, but this is a toss up. Due I go for my Favorite team or do I go for the Lovable Losers?Both teams started out cold and got hot. Both Teams have Great Managers. So what do I do. I am going to have to go with the CUBS. My gut is telling me that it could be another 100 years before they get back. (4-3 CUBS WIN!!) Holy Cow!!
I am sitting here looking for things to read I have come across the top Pennant Race Collapses of all time. I have broke it down to the top five. I thought I would Share it with all of you out ere in sports land cause I really enjoined it.
5. In 1962 the Los Angeles Dodgers lost 10 of there final 13 games to blow a 4 game lead over the San Francisco Giants in the final week of the season.
4. The San Francisco Giants Half a 10 game lead on the Atlanta Braves on July 22 1993. The San Francisco Giants blew the lead despite, Barry Bonds winning the MVP, to the Braves.
3. The Boston Red Sox the the New York Yankees by 14 games on July 19 1978. The Yankees went 52 and 21 down the stretch to tie for the AL East title. New York won a one-game divisional playoff game. Thanks to a Go ahead Home Run by Reggie Jackson. OK this is the same scenario that is happening this year.
2. The Chicago Cubs held a 9 1/2 game lead on the New York Mets on Aug 14 1969. The Cubs went 8 and 17 in September and finished 8 games behind the Mets.
1.California Angels held a 11 game lead on the Texas Rangers and the Seattle Mariners on August 11, 1995. They blew the led and the right to go to the playoff by losing a one game play off to the Seattle Mariners.
I went through the top 12 and picked my top 5. I would love to hear all of your thoughts an opinions. What do you think the all time biggest collapses is in MLB?
Major League Baseball has about 2 weeks left in the season and there is alot of interesting story lines that are playing out. The first that has caught my attention is the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox Race for first place in the division. At one point the Yankees were 9 games out going into labor day weekend. They ended up sweeping them and picking up ground. As of last night the Yankees are now 2 games behind the Red Sox's and up four and a half in the wild card. I would like to keep the streak of 10 division titles alive and win the division.
The other race that has also caught my eye is the national league east. The Milwaukee Brewers had a nice 6 game lead at the all start break. But the Chicago Cubs, who have been playing really good baseball are tied with the brewers for first. Is this the year the Cubs get over the hump? Being from Illinois I would love to see them go to the world series. It is time for them to break there 99 year drought.
I know I have said in early post that cubs would have a hard time beating the Yankees but if the Yankees give it there all to win the division they may have nothing left for the playoff to even make it to the world series.What is something that has caught your attention this last month of September? Who would you like to see win the World series?
