I work at a porn shop.

They're just plain flexible.

:p [/b][/quote]Sure and it is a great place to make new friends I bet.

If you like your friends soft, supple, and inflatable...yes!

just as long as they aren't wearing any baseball caps!

Hey, it pays the bills. Working at Blockbuster isn't my LIFE. I'm not making a career out of it. I work there because the pay isn't too bad, 5 free rentals a week (PLUS the new movies that come out on Tuesdays, we get them the Friday's before), it's close to home, they're flexible with my schedule, etc. [/b][/quote]If the I12 worked at my blockbuster I would kick his yankee loving ass so far that when he got back he would still think....... that uh, it was the previous week's new releases!

Hey, you guys have to play nice. This isn't the Fantasy Boxing thread.

Or the Fantasy Wrestling thread.

This isn't like playing on X-Box,
You have to get right up to them and Bam, bam, bam-
Right in the eye or break his nose right off the bat.

Blood gushing all over your expensive clothes.
Remember this is business, not personal.

Then again, the least he could do is tell you what team he is for. Before he yells that he wants to kick your ass. It is only fair. Right? Vito, Tom, Sonny

My heart says the World Series will be the A's vs. the Padres. My head says it will be the Yankees vs. the Dodgers.

The Mets do not have the starting pitching - they are not going to bash their opponents to death like they did in the regular season. Sure, they can in a 5 game series, but it's not happening in a 7 game series. Detroit and St. Louis are falling apart at the seams.

I don't think Minnesota has the horses to hold off NY. I don't think the Yanks are a lock esp. given their question marks in the rotation. Mussina has not really won too many big playoff games, Johnson is not healthy, and they will have to rely on Jaret Wright in a 7 game series. None of which really instills fear into an opponent. That said, if their pitchers keep the games close, the hitting should take over. I hope A-Rod chokes again and the fans are all over him. Here' hoping there are still several bases-loaded, 2 out strikeouts left in A-Rod and a few mulitple erro games as well.

Definitely mark me down on the "hate" side of the ledger regarding the Yankees.

Irishman, get a thick skin. If you bring the heat on others, don't go crying when that same flame burns your hands.

I mean shit, I know what to expect when I'm pissing on others.

A's over Twins
Cardinals over Padres
Dodgers over Mets
Yankees over Tigers
-------

Yankees over A's
Cardinals over Dodgers

----------

Ummmmm....I would say the Yanks, but why is it that I have this nagging feeling that they'll fuck up?

And again, Ice comes into the equation how? Since I have been "pissing on him" all over this thread :rolleyes: You want to have a discussion or disagree with me, then fine, but don't come into a threat and start making empty threats. We both know he wouldn't do a thing if I were in the store and it takes away from the REAL topic of this thread (the New York Yankees)

Please stop threatening and insulting each other.

Thank you.

Santana to lose Game 1 ??

A's beat Santana and Twins in Game #1, 3-2. Two HRs for Frank Thomas.

My predictions:

-Yankees over Tigers
-Twins over A's
-Mets over Dodgers
-Padres over Cardinals

-Yankees over Twins
-Mets over Padres

-Yankees over Mets

Oh, Goombah, how could you come into this thread and talk like that?? What makes you treat the Yankees so disrespectfully?? You broke my heart, Goombah, you broke my heart.

At least tell me that you believe that Derek Jeter deserves to be MVP this year!!

Right now, top of the 6th, and the Yankees are winning 5-3. The Yanks lost it a bit in the 5th by allowing those 3 runs to score, but they seem to be back on track.

Some random happy thoughts about the 2006 season

-Boston finishes in 3rd place in the AL East (behind New York AND Toronto)
-The Angels didn't make the playoffs
-The Rangers didn't make the playoffs
-The Braves didn't win the NL East (AND didn't make the playoffs for the first time since 1990 AND finished 4 games below .500)
-The Marlins didn't make the playoffs
-The Diamondbacks didn't make the playoffs

And probably my happiest 2006 thought
-THE ASTROS MISSING THE PLAYOFFS!

[/b][/quote]These kind of posts will not win you any friends Irish.
Then again, you don't seem to need any.

In fact this is the type of post that drives up anti Yankee feelings. People who hate your type of nasty
So as the post season starts and the questions is: Who would you like to see win it all in 2006?

The answer quickly becomes: ANYBODY BUT THE YANKEES!

All other Yankee fans- Good luck and have a great playoffs. [/b][/quote]GOOD LUCK YANKEES!!! UNTIL THE TEXAS STRANGERS 'GET OFF THE FARM' IM ALL FOR YA. BUT I HOPE THE CURSE OF A-ROD RINGS TRUE!!

The Yankees win 8-4, lead the series 1-0

I was hoping the tigers would pull a white sox this year but their staff sucks. I REALLY hoped 'pudge' would rally the tigers like he did the marlins in their world series run but that looks unlikely.

FROM AN OUTSIDER PT OF VIEW: the yanks will win title # ? (whatever # it is) this season.

27 brother. Man, Jeter sure looked like an MVP tonight going 5-for-5 (and from what I've seen Abreu didn't look too bad either)

Yeah Bobby Abreu!!! WTF, its about time!!!!

I stayed up and watched it on the East Coast, which is no easy feat after rising at 4:30 AM that morning... :p

And I'm glad I did...Jeter was insane, Bobby Abreu was awesome, Sheff made good, Giambi put it over the fence, even A-Rod was decent.

As much as I despise the pinstripes, I do have a tremendous amount of respect for the player adorning your avatar. Jeter always steps it a notch in the playoffs. And yes, I do think he should be the AL MVP.

He really had a great game last night, didn't he?? As did the rest of the team. They looked awesome, and I think that they truly can go all the way this year, although one never knows.

You have to tip your cap to the man. He went five for five last night.

But it is still early to be giving out any awards just yet.

I don't see how anyone can think Jeter should win the AL MVP award. if it was the "Best Player Award" he could win, although he wouldn't be my pick. now, as for Most Valuable Player, that just can't be him. not with another dozen of all starts in his team.

I disagree...who else should be the MVP? Johan Santana? He didn't have any more wins than Chien Ming Wang, why isn't Wang the MVP? David Ortiz? He's so valuable, his team didn't make the playoffs. Jim Thome or Jermaine Dye? Their team didn't make it either. Hafner? Same. Joe Mauer? Sure, he has the batting title, but his defensive skills are good at best.

Just because Jeter is on a team full of All-Stars doesn't mean his impact is less. It's like saying Lou Gehrig sucked because he played alongside Babe Ruth.

Jeter has an amazing impact on this team both skill wise (5 hits last nite...pretty rare air there) on offense and defense as well as a team leader as the captain and lockerroom sage.

Pitchers should, for the most part, get the Cy Young. That's what its there for. The MVP should be the player who, if gone, would put a serious hole in that teams lineup, both offensively and defensively. Jeter takes an All-Star/Gold Glove defense away from the Yanks...replaced by Andy Cannizaro? And at the plate...over .343 average (#2 in AL), 214 hits (#3 in AL) 97 RBI's, 69 BB's, 34 SB's (#7 in AL), and a .417 OBP (#4 in AL).

The question, more appropriately, is really who else is there besides Jeter?

I agree DJ. Just because Jeter is on a team full of stars shouldn't have any bearing on him as an individual player. I think it says a lot about what type of player he is when you are on a roster like the Yankees and can stand head and shoulders above the rest of those stars. Now does everyone understand why Jeter gets a "free pass" from Yankee fans and why A-Rod gets booed so much during the regular season? Jeter comes through when we need it most while A-Rod wasn't horrible last night, but he also didn't have 5 hits either.

The interesting thing that I read this morning was that Jeter's HR last night was his 17th career home run in the postseason. To me, that proves that he comes through when the team needs him, and that goes a long way towards making the case for him to be the AL MVP.

Didn't Frank Thomas hit two?

HE is one of the best CLUTCH hitters EVER!! Scouts take a lot of count in what a guy does with a full count, and what a guy does w/ men in scoring position. In those two categories he is the best in the world. (David Eckstein of anaheim excels in those two categories as well, even though he traditionally hits around the mendoza line)

THERE ARE 5 TOOLS AND JETER GOT EM' ALL BABY!
