Whatever buddy.......you can sit there and make the same stupid jokes over and over and over again and continue being a racist against Latino players all you want. I've got no time for you, I've got a winning season to prepare for. lolwut? You wish. The Yankees won 97 games last year and seeing them on a day to day basis I didn't really think they played all that great on a consistent basis. All they did this offseason was go out and improve the team....avoiding the injury big, they could easily win 100 games and are projected to win the American League East. You don't think the Yankees, at the VERY LEAST, would be able to get one of the two Wild Cards and get into the 1 game Playoff? I'm tired of trying to predict if the Yankees will win the World Series, because it's impossible. I want them to win, but obviously, there is no way to predict or guarantee that. In the Playoffs, it's a crap shoot and the hottest/luckiest team wins and if you go into a slump for 3 days you're screwed. But the Yankees WILL have a winning season and I predict that at the end of the 162 game season, they will have a Playoff spot.

LoL Obviously the Yankees are going to win 90+ games and make the playoffs, especielly with the new Wild Card rules. I just don't think they'll be having a ''winning season'' in the sense of ya'kno.. A freakin' World Series.

A freakin' World Series. Impossible to make that prediction on March 15. As long as they make the Playoffs, they have just as much chance as the other teams. The Playoffs are a total crap shoot. Luckiest/hottest team wins. So it doesn't really make sense for people to say "yeah, the Yankees will make the Playoffs, but I doubt they win the World Series", because A) not even all our pitchers have had 2 starts in Spring Training yet, so it's way too early to predict that, and B) all playoff teams have the same chance, and actually THIS year the Wild Card team has the Advantage in the Division Series. So who knows what the hell might happen?

It's rough being a lifelong Yankees fan. The franchise sucks. Ten sub .500 seasons in the past 50 years. Two last place finishes in the entire franchise history. It's tough. You have to feel for them when the injuries add up and they only win 95 games instead of 100. Then they have to contend with the unfair playoff system that pits them against a wild card team. The travesty!!

Well, it looks like Bill Hall just made the team. Nunez still can't hold a bat after getting hit on his hand 2 weeks ago, and Ramiro Pena looks like he just broke his ankle sliding into 2nd.
As long as no starting players get hurt, the Yankees should be fine though.
Pineda's velocity is really low though. Topping out at 91 so far. I know it's only his 3rd Spring Training start and guys are working on stuff and just trying to round into shape....but he was advertised as a guy who throws 97.

But the Phils won't be on top forever. I know that. You know that. The Braves ruled for a decade now they're trying to get back to where they were. Sooner or later, the Phils are going to fall apart. They are getting older. There's not a whole lot of young talent on the team that's really good beyond Hamels and Dom Brown. Hamels will, in all likelihood, be gone next year if not in a mid-season trade. Brown is unproven. Might be this year. Might be next year. Sooner or later, the Phils will be blown up and rebuilding. If it happened to the Braves, it'll happen to them and I'll be forced to endure years of mediocrity. The Yankees are never going to be that way.

Your infield is so depleted now you'll be lucky to have a season anywhere within 10 games of last season. There's no telling how long Chase will hold up, Howards injury could end up nagging, and Polanco is getting up there. Rollins is your only healthy guy, and with his history I don't know how long I'll be able to say that. And on the subject of injuries, Chien-Ming Wang can't catch a in' break.

I wish I could disagree with you, but I can't. Every team has questions though. Polanco still plays gold glove caliber defense when he's healthy, but he is up there. Rollins is aging as well. I feel good about the left side of the infield. The right side is good IF Utley bounces back from last year and Howard's injury doesn't nag him all year. It happens to every team that doesn't have unlimited pockets. They either get older and can't perform or they over reach and try to sign guys they can't afford and it cripples them financially. The Phils may well have done both with the Lee signing. Hamels is worth a crap ton of money and they likely won't have it to give.

But to say they will never be that way is likely false. I vividly remember the Yankees being bad and mediocre for over a decade from 1982-1994.

They finished under .500 5 times during that time period and twice they lost 90+ games. They finished last place for the third time in their franchise history. This was the only time in their 100+ year history that they've had a period like that. During that time period they were more mediocre than bad.
