In the past five years Boy George has payed his players so much....but what has the front office/fans got in return? NO CHAMPIONSHIP! Yanks suck....for all the talent on that team they should have one maybe two losses total. OVERPAID and OVERRATED. SHUT UP YANKS FANS! We know what ya did in the past, but right now you're yesterday's news.

The last time i checked the Yankees have spent a total of 4 days in first place, and the Red Sox have been there the rest of the time. It's really not the Yankees who suck, it's their pathetic fans.

I care about it.  It's definitely not boring when you are in the stadium, and when you are watching good teams play.  In fact, the average score has been increasing for the last five years.  It should be more interesing than before.

I was surprised to hear Mike & Mike on ESPN admit that the NL East race is over...it was nice to hear the Mets get the respect they deserve!  If you listen to a lot of other media outlets in NY, the Yankees are always on top: Mike & The Mad Dog are complete Met haters, even the local news channels (channels 5 & 9 specifically) lean towards the Yankees.  And it's killing me now that people are saying that the Mets are winning because a former Yankee (Randolph) is managing.  The Mets are unstoppable right now, and will probably have 5 or more representatives at the All Star game, so I hope that gets them a bit more respect.\n\nI couldn't deal with the biased media anymore, so I got XM, and I have to say that the coverage there is pretty even.  I do admit though, that I'm biased myself...what Met fan wouldn't be?!  =D

I am NOT a Yankee Fan nor am I a Randy Johnson fan BUT.... You can not judge someones future by one game.  He looked AWFUL and due in part to the AWFUL pitching, my Red Sox blew the Yankees away last night.  But to say he is washed up is pre-mature.  We may be seeing the beginning of a decline but I am sure he has plenty more winning games left in him (Much to he dismay of this Red Sox fan) LOL

Yeah if you want to look at stats alone but weird things happen in baseball.I remember last year the Royals swept the Yankees and the Royals had a horrible team.That's why so many people get frustrated with the Yankees.People think they should win every single game with a pay roll like that, and they probably should.I also think that a lot of good teams are too relaxed when a bad team comes into town and then they loose.Sorry...I keep going on and on but its just that I am a Royals fan and even though they are bad I have seen them beat some of the best teams.I guess that's just how baseball works.

I just have to respond to some of the Red Sox fans whining about the Yankees' payroll. I'm not a Yankees fan so I can look at this somewhat objectively. Seriously, the Red Sox payroll is what, 3rd in the league? They pay like 5 times as much as most of the teams in the league. Sure, the Yankees' payroll is higher, but where is the cutoff where you are "the epitome of a team" and simply "buying championships"? According to lots of people in Red Sox Nation, it appears to be anywhere between the Red Sox payroll and the Yankees'. That's absurd.\n\nThat said, I'd rather the see the Yankess win the World Series before the Red Sox. Mainly because of the Red Sox fans and their whining about payroll.

A little late! Two days before the game... I suggest calling up some old friends and those that have connections to the right ticket places. But you will pay a lot and it is likely to be all sold out... good luck though!

Well, there's 162 games in a season and your team looks stacked to me.  Delgado is warming up, Pudge started out well, Sheffield always takes a little time, Manny is getting hot....Pitching looks well rounded.  I would let it ride to be honest.  You'll win soon and I don't think you'll stop.

Yes, I would love to see the MLB All-Star Game.  It's a great chance to see all the great players in one game and to partake in all the festivites.  As you pointed out the tickets are not cheap.  There is a problem that it's not competitive enough but now everybody wants their team to have homefield advantage in the WS.

Hey BroadwayPhil, tough loss today for the M's losing in x-tra's to the Rockies, so 14-4 is great against the NL.  But the NL West is horrible, but then again the AL West has had it's problems too.  The AL has really been ripping the NL to shreads.  My BoSox just finished 16-2 against the Senior Circuit.  Seattle would be a top 5 team in the NL, but not in the AL.  The Mariners have been playing a lot better as of late, but I guess we will find out soon when the Mariners get back to playing the AL Teams.  The team that they have to worry about most is the A's, Rich Harden is due back soon from injury.  But Joe Blanton and Danny Haren has been very ordinary and very inconsistent.  Zito has been their best pitcher so far.  The Mariners have to hope that they continue to get good performances from Ichiro which is a given, but Lopez and Johjima have been pleasent surprises for them.  Ibanez just very quietly go about his business, he's so underrated, a good steady outfielder.  Gil Meche has been pitching much better this year which is a plus.  Moyer has done very well, isn't he about 50 now?  God bless him, he's still doing it at his age.  They really need Washburn and Pinero to get better consistency.  King Felix can just flat out dominate when he's on.  So are they in it for the long haul?  Could be, but just as you said the AL is murderers row this year with Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Minnesota, and New York.  You really don't catch a break with teams like that.  Mariners just have to care of business against the under .500 teams and see how it will play out.  They have a chance to win the AL West!!!\n\nPS. - I have Ibanez, Lopez, and Ichiro on my fantasy baseball team, so they are OK by me   :)

They should finish in first place this year. But that will depend on the pitching staff. They have a great ace in Pedro but the rest of the rotation could be kinda shakey espically Zambrano. They have upgraded their bullpen by getting Billy Wagner who is a top notch closer but they have to be able to get the ball into his hands. Their lineup has the potential to put up alot of runs and they have 4 players who have a good chance of hitting 30 hr ( Floyd, Beltran, Delgado, Wright) They also have the ability to steal bases with reyes and beltran But for them to be able to steal those bases Reyes will have to get on base more by taking more walks. They upgraded in the catcher department with Lo duca who is a huge defensive upgrade over piazza he wont provide as much power in the lineup but he has a good bat. They will need to bolster up the second base position sometime during the season as Kaz Matsui dosent have what it takes to be an everyday player in the major leauges and they right field platoon of Diaz and Nady should be adequate and they both also provide some pop in the lineup. Overall the Mets 8 position players have the talent on paper to put up tons of runs which should allow the pitching staff to get the ball into the hands of billy wagner. The Marlins have sold off the bulk of their talent and will likley be a non factor this season. The Phillies have a decent team this year but i dont think they will be able to keep up with the mets. and the braves are gonna be tough again they have a good mix of veterans and young players but the loss of furcal does hurt them. This is the best chance the mets have had to take the division in a long time but than again the games are played on the field so we will see what happens

Dear fellow Met fan: I hate the Yankees because the BOSS spends oodles of money on players who don't bring him a championship. Back in the day before Steinbrenner got Giambi, ARod, etc; Jeter, Tino Martinez and Paul O'Neill helped bring the Yanks to multiple titles. I guess I don't hate the Yankees all that much, but I seriously dislike them. When the BOSS is out, then I'll give them a little more respect. The same respect I have for guys like Joe Torre.

Yankees have no integrity. With such a high payroll, they should be better than they are. They don't play as a team, plus their players are a lot older than the Red Sox.\n\nRed Sox by far.

I can't believe the way people act towards the Yankees. Having been a Yankee fan for as long as I can remember (and I am 30+) I've have supported them thru winning and losing seasons. And I've endured much ridicule and many jeers for doing so. The biggest thing I hear is how Steinbreiner buys pennants. This is not true. All teams have the same option of turn profits back into the team. He's a great business man. And he pays dearly for it. All the teams benefit from his hefty payroll because he pays the highest luxury tax in the league. \nYankees fans are all over...not just in New York.
