I'd rather none of them, but Cairo would be that pesky guy you can put in there occassionally to breakup all the hit or miss hitters. You saw what that gets ya when the team is missing.
yeah, but judging by the career numbers, unless we get the 04 Cairo, your talking about a strikeout vs a growndout...atleast Bernie takes pitches and will take a walk.
Yeah, but Bernie doesn't strike me as the tough out working a walk anymore. I dont want you thinking I'm on the Cairo getting 300 AB bandwagon whatsoever. This is an indictment on the other guys moreso
Oh no, I didn't think that at all. I'm just thinking that Bernie is only one season removed from 88 walks and a .360 obp.
He can still walk, that's true, but with him and Posada, at least him last year, their patience is overrated. They work walks because they aren't wild-swingers, but they will chase and make out on crap against good pitching. Plus, you gotta assume the AVG isn't getting better.
For that spot I don't really care about the average though. Especially when Cairo hit 3 points higher last season and Bernie's OBP was like 30 points higher. Plus Bernie and to a greater extent Phillips can both put one out every now ant then, Cairo can't. I see Cairo as a tough strikeout off the bench or the starting 2Bman against a really really hard lefty.
With Bernie, he might draw a walk bases empty, but he will most likely pop up or strikeout with guys on base. That's why I don't like him there; he will kill rallies. Against a pure fastball pitcher though, I like Bernie, so that's why I wanted him for the bench like Sierra.
Cairo hit .228 with runners on last year. Bernie was around .280 with 8 of his 12 homers coming in those situations. Even in his bad years he's been ok-good in big ABs(post season anyway)
Eliminate Cairo from the equation, because what he did last year with the Mets will make anyone look good comparatively. I'd rather none of them start. But if we get Cairo better than last year, I'd trust him more. He was Mr. Reliable for us two years ago. He'd hit when other guys weren't/

Bernie is making a measly $2 million a year and you two are throwing a hissy fit, unreal.
This isn't Chan Ho Park and his 5+ ERA making 11 million per.
This is probably Bernie's last season, hopefully he can leave a World Series champ...But for you two to just turn your back on what he's done for this organization and blast him as if he was starting every day making $15 million a year is a total joke.
Plain out pathetic.
Agreed. Your example of overpaid is actually understated. Park was making $13 million a year, which was complete silliness. Bernie is making $2 million in what is probably his last season and they guys not only bitch, but put down Bernie as a money grubbing whore. They're jokes.
$13 million, wow, now THAT'S stealing money...Blast Wright, blast Pavano, those two are very well documented in their bashings to Mussina, Jeter...Ah whats the use of naming specific players, they bash every player regardless, two weeks into the year Damon will be in the "Soft L Club", hell even BC blasted Don Mattingly...They are a joke, they have to find a reason to complain on every little thing, it gets comical watching these two, just agreeing and agreeing with eachother as if they are lovers.
Bernie was paid $12 mil last year to hit .242 then thinks he has a right to come back this season. Screw that, getting paid $2 mil to bat .230 or less this season is plain out pathetic, not bashing Bernie. I'm sure you'll be one of those fans giving him a standing o every ab he has though, even after he grounds in to dp after dp in big spots. I on the other hand will be booing for being the money grubbing whore that he is.
I'd totally understand your gripe if he was making $12 million this season, but it's $2 million!! Do the Yankees really have to have an all-star team man? I mean how greedy are you? Do you want like Travis Hafner at DH? The team already has the highest payroll in baseball, how can you be greedy and expect an all-star in the entire lineup?
Of course i'd be giving Bernie standing O's, it's most likely his final year, he's been great as a Yankee, very respected and a class guy, and you want to just give him the cold shoulder? Call him a money-grubbing whore for making $2 million a year? Steinbrenner wipes his ass with $2 million. You won't boo him at all if you go to a game, you know when his name is called you won't boo...You may not give a reaction or cheer, but you won't boo, you're gutless.

Agreed, Ecko. He won't boo. He wouldn't be the only moron in Yankee Stadium booing Bernie Williams. The guy will get standing Os after huge hits and at the end of the year when it's getting close to what will probably be the end. Bernie signed a long-term deal through age 37. The Yankees knew he'd be slipping by the end. The Yankees agreed to the deal. He didn't steal a penny. He aged, just as the Yankees knew he would.

Yet you'll cheer on a guy like Damon right? Clap and cheer for him right?
To me, I see you as the guy in front of the TV booing players, which is fine.
But at the Stadium if you dared to boo and somebody called you out on booing Bernie you'd just crawl up in a ball and keep eating your Cotton-Candy, you're just that type to me. Bash and badmouth players, but if you meet them, slob on their knob as if they're the best.

Yeah, you're right because you guys know me so well. I have no problem booing the guy, I'm not worried about anybody doing anything to me, nobody would be stupid enough to get themselves thrown in jail over Bernie Williams.

:lmao: :lmao: Fair point. We did give Henry Rodriguez like a million dollars for like 8 ABS. The best thing to do is seperate reality from sports, because the figures aren't the same.

OBP wise last year wasn't that off from his career numbers. Even in 04 with us he hit .266 with runners on. I think its that we've been frustrated with Bernie and our memory of Cairo was the pleasant supprise he was in 04. 04 Bernie really wasn't that bad either.

You can say that all you want, fact is you don't know me, it's like I said, I've booed before, I'll do it again. If somebody wants to hit me fine, I'm not going to back down. And I will cheer for Damon if he's doing well, but if he f*cks up, I'll boo him too. It's part of the game. I don't get sentimental about players, I root for the uniform.

In no way am I saying people are gonna hit you or some stupid sh*t like that, cmon now...
I'm saying if someone stood up and called you out on that, you'd stay quiet.
I don't know you at all, that's why I said you seem like that type of person to me. For all I know you and BC just keep putting on this act to bash every player who put on the pinstripes.

Bernie can still hit the fastball, I will give him that, but he's not reliable against anything else. People knock Sierra, but he found a way to adjust in the big AB. Bernie needs the fastball. At this point, I can't see him starting more than 15 games. But he might get that the first month.

I could careless what people say to me. How many times am I going to see the same idiots I sit next in the Stadium outside of it? Probably zero, unless it's one of my friends who I went to the game with.

I cheer the uniform, not the players. I don't clap and all that silly sh*t when lineups are being announced. I sit there fill out my score card and wait for the game to start. Now say Damon gets a single to lead off the game, I'd clap. I don't know if you consider that cheering for him or not. I don't, I consider it cheering because maybe we could get a rally going.

Fans at the Stadium can be jerkoffs. I was blasting Clemens in the bleachers, predicting he'd give up runs the next inning based on how he was throwing(He did), and some schmuck rows back makes some condescending remark, like I was rooting for it. And what sucks is you can't really slug them, because you want to watch the game and not get thrown out, but they'll be dicks the whole time.

Well, I'll admit, I'm a little spoiled, so I usually get the seats down near field level with all the suits, those are the fans I can't stand. I've found when I watch games in the upper deck, most of those fans are the real fans and they don't care if you boo certain players or not, in fact, I've heard people boo Jeter before for f*cking up, though they could just be like me, booing Jeter to annoy a girlfriend, that's possible. But it's the people from Wall Street I find to be the most annoying. They think they know the game, they don't know anything. One time Posada hit a home run and I stood up and started cheering and they told me to "sit down and shut the f*ck up," that I was taking away from the game. :rolleyes:

I'm the loudest fan at the games. I go nuts, cheering for the Yanks to do something, especially when the crowd is dead. But at the same time, I will boo the sh*t out of certain guys if they fail. I don't clap during lineup intros or curtain calls though unless it's a really special accomplishment. That just seems like a waste.

You kind of avoided the trap I set, nice job.
I was gonna come at you if you said you would cheer for Damon and whatnot.
I mean, you know people have to earn the pinstripes, and a single isn't going to do that. ESPECIALLY being the new Centerfielder for a very well respected Bernie Williams. We've seen it from Mattingly to Tino and Tino to Giambi. Fans booed them since they're replacing Yankee Icons, a single isn't going to earn them their pinstripes, or make people just forget about what Bernie has done for this organization, they have to earn that respect, and to me it looks like you have already annointed Damon "A True Yankee."...My thing is, how did Bernie lose the respect from you and BC? For coming back for one final year to win a possible Ring? Very logical...

Wasn't that two years ago when Jeter started out ICE cold and was like 0-37? He himself said he deserved to be booed by the fans, he wasn't delivering during his bad streak, no matter what he does you all call him Danica :laugh: Ah it's fun watching you two. seeing who can make themself look like an ass more.

I can't speak for Yankfan, but there was always a part of me that disliked Bernie stemming back to his dork glasses days. He always seemed very lazy and ignorant as a player. No instincts for the game; made entirely on talent. As my dad would say "Jerry's Kid on the bases" despite remarkable speed in his prime. I used to go berzerk when guys would double in the gap and he'd throw his glove up wildly like a moron. He leeched a few gold gloves too. He'd play deep and get burned on bloopers, since he didn't have that great instinct to track a flyball and backpedal. He was also never really the big hit guy in the post-season despite being 3rd and cleanup for us, aside from Texas in 96. When he totally sunk into mediocrity and was collecting insane paychecks for no production, it set me off.

And I will cheer for Damon if he's doing well, but if he f*cks up, I'll boo him too. It's part of the game. I don't get sentimental about players, I root for the uniform.
One question... Opening Day are you cheering for Damon?
I cheer the uniform, not the players. I don't clap and all that silly sh*t when lineups are being announced. I sit there fill out my score card and wait for the game to start. Now say Damon gets a single to lead off the game, I'd clap. I don't know if you consider that cheering for him or not.
You kind of avoided the trap I set, nice job. I was gonna come at you if you said you would cheer for Damon and whatnot. I mean, you know people have to earn the pinstripes, and a single isn't going to do that. ESPECIALLY being the new Centerfielder for a very well respected Bernie Williams. We've seen it from Mattingly to Tino and Tino to Giambi. Fans booed them since they're replacing Yankee Icons, a single isn't going to earn them their pinstripes, or make people just forget about what Bernie has done for this organization, they have to earn that respect, and to me it looks like you have already annointed Damon "A True Yankee."...My thing is, how did Bernie lose the respect from you and BC? For coming back for one final year to win a possible Ring? Very logical...
I've been down on Bernie since 2003, his stats have been falling, and I'd like to see him walk away from the game with a little pride like Paul O'Neill did, not as a .230 hitter. It's not like this is something new.
And of course I haven't annoited Damon a "true Yankee." I don't know if I really consider anybody a "true Yankee."

Coming to a theater near you, RoboFan, starring Yanksfan03. Opens everywhere, Friday, March 31, 2006.

And that's not all, folks. The producers of this movie have already filmed the sequel to RoboFan. It also follows the Yankee fandom of Yanksfan03, but in this segment, he legally changes his name to FairweatheredFan. Only cheer when a player gets a hit. Never just to appreciate the players' past accomplishments to the organization. If the player fails in an at bat, boo him. If the player comes back for a year or two more than FairweatheredFan wants, boo him. If the player hits a HR, cheer him. If he strikes out his next at bat, boo him. It's all about that uniform with no respect given to the man inside the uniform.
What FairweatheredFan/RoboFan doesn't realize, every fan of a team roots for the uniform. The normal fan doesn't necessarily like every player in that uniform, but he supports them while wearing the uniform. If a player contributes greatly to the reputation of that uniform, a normal fan sometimes shows appreciation to that player. He actually realizes there are men playing in these Yankee uniforms, not a bunch of RoboYankees.

I've heard people boo Jeter before for f*cking up, though they could just be like me, booing Jeter to annoy a girlfriend, that's possible.
Wasn't that two years ago when Jeter started out ICE cold and was like 0-37? He himself said he deserved to be booed by the fans, he wasn't delivering during his bad streak, no matter what he does you all call him Danica :laugh: Ah it's fun watching you two. seeing who can make themself look like an ass more.
I haven't been to a game at the Stadium since 2000. I booed him a couple times then because there was one game where he wasn't doing anything and we were losing.

I assume you're talking about the current team...
So are you saying Jeter, Bernie and Rivera aren't true Yankees? If so, you need to check yourself bro, but I digress.
Time to shut it down, class in the morning, i'll reply back though tomorrow...

A fairweather fan is somebody who roots for other teams. I've never done that, I've been a Yankee fan since I started following baseball. So nice try a-hole, but you fail, and I'm really getting sick of the bashing. So what if you root for the team one way and I root a different way. Doesn't make me any less a fan.

So Bernie has to hit .300 with 100 RBI for you not to be down on him. It was top level in his prime or bust for you. FairweatherFan returns.

You could classify them as that if you want. But I don't get caught up in that stuff. That's not to say I don't think they deserve a plaque in the monument park at the new Yankee Stadium in 2018 or whatever, they do.

I'm reminded of Capitol Combat 1990, the WCW PPV where Robocop was the special referee. Widely considered the dumbest idea ever.

FairweatheredFan hasn't been to the Stadium since the last year the Yankees won the World Series. This movie won't have many surprises in it, folks.
