2009 New York Yankees

102 wins so far, charging right into the post season.

Our rotation for the ALDS will be:

CC Sabathia
AJ Burnett
Andy Pettitte

what should we do with Joba? He had a bad start against the Royals last night but did well against the Red Sox before that. If we make it past the ALDS we'll need an extra starter, so it's either him or Chad Gaudin :ill:

Discuss the awesomeness that is Yankees Postseason Baseball here.
 
indeed. This is why America has never contributed anything to the world. If you appreciated cricket you would be able to take your place in world affairs.
 
Nope, can't think of anything we've contributed. Well there is.........

Oh, except toilet roll. I will grant America the invention of the toilet roll.

Britain invented croquet too. Top that!
 
New York lies.

No one actually released the results of that test, therefore we have no idea what Ortiz actually test positive for, since no one outright said steroids, it was just heavily implied by The New York Times who came out with the story.

For all we know he ate a poppy-seed muffin that morning, which caused him to test positive for opioid.

Its also interesting to note that the entire list, which is sealed under Court order, was not released by the "anonymous information"; just anyone who was on the Red Sox when they won the World Series' . What a remarkable coincidence.
 
indeed. This is why America has never contributed anything to the world. If you appreciated cricket you would be able to take your place in world affairs.
Actually now that I understand Cricket I rather like it, especially compared to soccer, because well Soccer is made of Fail.
 
Wow Kor...that's a long list. Did Flem hit a nerve? :lol:

A friend of mine had an NY Yankees jacket once. Unfortunately, he never wore it because we noticed that, had his hair been short, people would have taken him for Neo-Nazi. With the long hair, he sort of looked like a pusher.

Seriously, the only ones who're interested in baseball here are American immigrants.

Football is the game man!
Also tennis and ice hockey.
 
It's that American egotism in me and maybe if we keep shouting how good we once were might inspire ourselves to be as good as we once were. <_<
 
I think not. As much fail as America has been it's still better than Britain.*

Baseball is the greatest sport known to man.

Yeah. You can tell that by its universal popularity around the world.[/irony]

Face it - Baseball is as provincial a sport as Yak racing, just with better stadiums and hot dogs. It could only really appeal to colonials.
 
the loss was definitely the umps' fault though.... probably didn't have much to do with the fact that Lackey pitched over 7 innings of shutout ball or the fact that the Red Sox lineup was totally impotent.
