BASEBALL RUMOR MILL: ok enough is enough...Yankees to sign Maddox this week

OMG fskc the Yankees. Blahahaha they've still lost the last two times they've made it to the worlds. So up your Steinbrenner!! Up Yours!!!!
 
Blah I wanted him to go to the Cubs.

If the Yankees don't win the world series this year they will be among the biggest laughing stocks in baseball history.
 
It's about time Maddox got a job! God knows he knows enough people with that website of his, instant popularity for the Yankees.

i hope they don't even make the playoffs .. that would make me laugh.
 
ridiculous. they should split their salary cap and start up their own damn league. their current salary (as of espn) is OVER 3 times that of 11 other teams. no wonder fans hate them

The best thing about this is how the Red Sux fans are going to whine. It wouldn't be baseball is those guys weren't constantly sniveling about the Yankees!
 
Lol! Go Yankees! We need one more good pitcher 😀

I thought Maddox refused to pitch in the AL or in a cold weather climate?

Well wouldn't you if you had to Pak the cahr in the cahr PaK?

The Sox lost their chance when they dind't pick up Maddox a while back.
 
3 times the salary and the only team whose wins they double is the Detroit

yankees = 156mil - 101 wins (discoutning maddox and arod)
marlins = 52mil - 91 wins - current CHAMP
athletics = 49mil - 96 wins

Hey, congratulations on trying to be witty and screwing it up. I believe the most popular phrase used to make fun of bostonians is if you "park the car in Harvard Yard." The Harvard Yard thing makes it a bit funnier. and it's not "Pak", that would sound more like "pack", it's "pahck"... nevertheless, the fact most bostonians can't speak proper english is no reason why the Yankees shouldn't be ridiculed for buying championships.

Congratulations for being a tool.

I never heard of the Harvard Yard thing, I learned to use that phrase from a teacher so I could emmulate a Boston accent. And read my other posts in this thread I'm not happy about what the Skanks are doing.
 
Yankee fans... it may be fun for you, but it's ruining the game. Don't be so blind.

<-- ex-baseball fan.
 
All they need now is Urbina to bolster their bullpen! When in doubt, smack em with the salary cap trout!

Too bad if you're not a fan of NY, Boston, or Chicago you probably won't be watching baseball this year. They may as well just trim the league down to four teams, 2 in each league, b/c buying your WHOLE team is just homosexually related.
 
Good news for Skankees fans if he is signed. I'll be happy with a Royals AL Central championship, after that, I don't mind. Hard to compete with a $40 mil payroll.
 
10. He isn't exactly replacing Fernando Tatis
Finally, we might want to mention something here. A-Rod is, no doubt, an upgrade over just about anybody in any team's lineup. But he's not a massive offensive upgrade over the guy he's replacing in the Yankees' lineup -- Alfonso Soriano.

Only six players in the whole sport have outhomered Soriano over the last two years. Only two have scored more runs. No one has spewed more extra-base hits.

Even more fascinating, if you factor out A-Rod's Texas stats by comparing the numbers of these two guys just on the road, you discover something shocking:

Soriano has more road homers (45 to 44), many more runs scored (133 to 108) and a much higher batting average (.311 to .279) than A-Rod over the last two seasons. Hmmmm.

OK, so A-Rod is a much tougher out against certain pitchers in certain situations. And he's undoubtedly a better defensive player than Soriano, even at a new position.

But does he make the Yankees a vastly better offensive team? Does he make them a surefire, guaranteed, take-it-to-Vegas lock to win it all?
