Because when you cheat, it's an automatic out, get it? Like the Olympics, when you use steroids, you're banned and all medals are stripped from you. Come to think of it, if this was the Olympics NY wouldn't have Sheffield or Giambi b/c they would have been banned a long time ago

so lets see, your accusing Giambi and Sheff of using steroids? i could understand Giambi, how in the world can you say Sheff?

SPEED, honestly, ALL your posts are a bunch of buLLsh**

Indeed, both calls were right. Quite frankly I am surprised at that "slap" manuevuer by Arod. That's not the type of "class" I thought Yankees were known for.

LOL like 5 people posted the same reply. None the less it is still unlikely. What A-rod did was lame, he should have timed it better.:D

I thought Sheffield has admitted to having used steroids.

But yeah, most of his posts about baseball are full of BS :D

Right, and I assume running over a catcher at home plate is a very unrespectable thing to do too? A Rod plays with so much heart and he wants to win so bad that he does everything he can, sometimes a little too much. In fact when the Yankees and Torre see the replay of what he did, I'm sure he will get a nice pat on the back for trying all he could.

It was out of frustration. Dumb move.

:roll: Cmon man it's interference, there's no way a swat warrents a suspension
Yes it should be. What if he dislocated/jammed/hurt something on Arroyo's hand, therefore causing him not to pitch? Assault is assault, any way you cut it. If I'm on first, can I clothesline the 2nd baseman if the ball is hit to him? There's a difference when you deliberately hit someone.
Well then I suppose Cabrera should be suspended for the butt block he threw on Cairo last game. :roll:
Try not to be ridiculous.

your dealing with SP333DEMON here, too late for that

Maybe you missed the latest ADMISSION OF SHEFFIELD using THG cream. You don't follow your team much, do you?

It was REALLY stupid to argue about it when it was clearly on 100 cameras from different angles. I do agree that A-Rod really didn't think when he did this, it was out of desperation/pressure.

You're being hypocritical. Does money win or not? If the yankees do not win this year that shows that money does not necessarily win (as evidenced by the Marlins and Angels). So then why will you laugh? Money does not guarantee a championship.

I wonder if they showed Yankee Stadium the same replays they showed us, because if they did then the Yankee fans were just acting lame. If they didn't, and there's always a possibility that they didn't show it over and over and over again, then the fans have a right to be mad because they didn't see what we saw

BS, the homeplate ump sucked on all accounts, he called a bunch of BS in both directions.

Anyone who gives him a pat on the back for knocking a player's glove off is classless. That's not the right way to play the game.

Money = playoffs.
Heart + Managing = World Series ring.

That's not being hypocritical.

Money is a huge advantage. That is undeniable. He is saying that with such a large amount of resources available, you should make the WS. If you don't, then you wasted all of those resources.
