What are the real chances that the Yuckee's are serious about signing Nomar to play first base. Why would anyone in their right mind try to replace last years comeback player of the year with the most over paid bust in the last several years.

There's no way they really want to replace Giambi. Their just trying to drive up the price on any competition.

Screw the Yankees. It's time for a salary cap in MLB, I'd bet that New York would be awful when Steinbrenner can't spend half a billion dollars on a baseball team.

Yuckees? Is that bias from an umpire?

I actually like baseball the way it is now... it pleasures me a great deal to see Steinbrenner pay an arm and a leg for an all-star at every position and still lose in the playoffs.

He doesn't seem to grasp that they were an actual TEAM when they were winning those World Series' in the 90s with TEAM guys like Brosius, Martinez, Bernie, O'Neil, and Jeter.

Well, I guess you caught me. If I ever got a chance to call a Yuckee's game, I'd stick to em' every chance I got. :gun:

In your assessment of the Pin Heads in pin stripes, you forgot to mention Chuck - I can't catch a cold - Knoblach.

I hope they don't sign him. I like the Yankees, and don't know that I could with Nomar on the team.

Tim, looks like I'd have to call that game with you to even out your "I hate the Yukees" calls!!! :pimp:

Not a chance, Darien. I have tenure, so I'll get the plate. That makes me the UIC, and you will bow to my judgement calls! :bow:

You all must bow down to the yankees. In time you will call them master.

They are third on my hated sports list. Right behind Bammer and Nore Dame

You've got that right.

I can only wish to be that ineffective with that much money.

Has anyone here got to experience the slums around the stadium? The stadium is great, but the locations is pretty bad. I'm not sure where the new stadium is going. Does anyone know?

The new stadium is scheduled to open for the 2009 season. It's going to be located just north of the old stadium between 161st street and 164th street.

Nomar (Ramon) will end up signing with the LA Dodgers.

I saw that too. It's hard to believe that the Dodgers would dole out that kind of cash for Nomar's bat after the amount of money they spent on Furcal.

They also signed Bill Meuller to play third, and Izturis will be back before mid season at short. I think it's going to be interesting to see how Nomer holds up as their everyday first basemen if he does sign. They say he'll see time in left as well, but I don't think he'll cut it out there.

I think Grady Little might be thinking too much with his heart and not his head. Nomar had some great seasons under Little in Boston, but he hasn't done a darn thing since.

I don't if many people remember this name, but Eric Lane played for the Giants. Anyway my wife and I took the subway from Rockefeller plaza the to Bronx for our first Yanks game :bow: and lawyer noticed my Tennessee hat and asked me if I remember Eric Lane. Come to find out Eric worked at his firm to help raise his stock in the business work after the pros didn't work out for him. He went on to say that Eric did a great job representing Tennessee as a class act guy.
