So, I realize I'm probably the minority around here, but I'm a Yankee fan and damn proud of it.  

 

Before I post what I think our season will be like, I wanted to see if there were any other Yankee fans around here.  How do you think we'll fare?  What are you worried about?  Any young players that you're excited about?  Just wanted to start a thread for general discussion.

Also. ..

I don't care about the PED crap. It's just the era of baseball he played in. Most guys have done it, he just happened to get caught. He took drugs to recover faster from hip surgery. 

A-Rod is a top 5-10 power hitter all-time. It's sad people get caught up in the hate and can't appreciate whats happening right in front of them. People have always hated him and the steroid stuff was just gasoline on the fire.

It's just a number anyway.

Babe Ruth is the homerun king even if a "clean" player were to belt out 900 home runs. The number of home runs he was hitting compared to the rest of the league was staggering. I read an article on it once and it said it was basically the equivalent of a player today hitting 200 HRs a year for a decade.

 

For the most part, I agree.  Baseball can't just turn a blind eye to the steroid era.  I think it needs to have it's own wing in the hall of fame.

 

 

 

Those steroids didn't give him hand eye coordination, bat speed, power, and teach him how to hit a fastball or curveball.

 

While I'm against steroids, this has always been my argument for why it doesn't bother me as much as it bothers others.  I'd like to see just anyone go out there and hit a 90 MPH fastball.  It's not as easy as it looks.  Yea, you may get a piece of it, but hit it solid (multiple times) and you should have at least played college ball.

      Round 1 - Panthers Select Tetairoa McMillan at Pick 8

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      King Tet talking to Jaycee already. McMillan, shortly after he was drafted, was asked which NFL cornerback he wants to "Moss" most. His answer was an intriguing one. "Well, since we're going to be going against each other in practice, it's Jaycee Horn,"              Jaycee Horn   @jayceehorn_10 · Follow Seatbelts go on all sizes let’s get it lil bra!! @TMAC96795                 Keep Purring Podcast (Ben)   @KeepPurringBen Great article by @KassidyGHill TMac vs Horn "With that in mind, when asked in one booth which NFL corner he was most looking to 'Moss,' McMillan quickly answered, "Well, since we're going to be going against each other in practice, it's Jaycee Horn."   https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/04/29/panthers-tetairoa-mcmillan-jaycee-horn-nfl-draft/83347503007/?taid=68111d1ca9319b00015aff6d&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      Smitty's pre-draft analysis of Nalo

      It is probably harder to justify taking plays off in a draft where you are drafted six picks after a freak of nature--How Hunter did it is beyond me--and in Colorado of all places!  WRs run sprint after sprint.  Arizona was playing from behind a lot and that means pass every play.  I get it.

      I'll give you the Etienne pick to make up for Brooks, but I think you're looking at the T-Mac/XL picks wrong. Taking T-Mac wasn't "covering" the mistake of the other picks, it was "fixing" the XL pick. We took XL there because we expected him to be our new #1, but it just seems clear after his rookie year that he's never going to be THAT type of guy, even if he improves significantly.  But he does seem like he has that high end #2 potential, and that's where the T-Mac pick makes it "fixing" the pick and not "covering" for a bad one. The T-Mac pick pushes all the other WR's down a peg in the pecking order, and in turn, that makes them all that much better as they'll now be going up against a DB one more peg down on their own pecking order. XL and Coker don't have have a 1/2 pairing potential, but they both could be at the very upper end of the 2's and 3's out there, it totally changes the equation for who they are for us.
