New York Yankees honor George Steinbrenner with plaque in Monument Park

Hahahahaha...
I don't know what's funnier, the picture or the word honor in the same sentence with George Steinbrenner's name.
I wish you were alive so your team would continue to overpay for declining veterans, but it's not a bad consolation prize to know your six feet under.
Go fuck yourself, George Steinbrenner!

Lawl!
Soxmuscle, go fuck YOURSELF, you punk ass, immature little shithead. Just bitching cause were kicking the Sox ass AGAIN-who by the way spend a ton of money, too. The man is dead, have some respect, asshole.
Yep-I knew what you meant. Larry David, the co-creator of the show, was the one doing the Steinbrenner voice. I remember reading that Stein thought it was really funny.
Actually, my post has nothing to do with the 2010 season, whatsoever. The Red Sox season was crippled by injuries, that made the team's one glaring weakness, it's bullpen, the cop out for their demise.
The Yankees have been extremely fortunate health wise over the last couple of seasons, and eventually that won't be the case. Whether it be next season or the year after, Sabathia's arm will fall off, Rodriguez's dick will get caught in his zipper upon picking Cameron Diaz up for a date, Teixeira being out of shape at the beginning of the season won't just result in a lackluster first month but will see him pull a hamstring and be out for the majority of the season, and Jeter... well, Jeter sucks, so hopefully he stays healthy, the Yankees give him mass amounts of money this offseason and they keep him at short stop where he's become a complete liability defensively (something I've been making note of for years now).
George Steinbrenner was a shitty baseball mind, and an even shittier person. I can laugh at Seinfeld, as we all can, but the reason David and Seinfeld were able to make light of him is because he's perhaps the most absurd human being on the planet.
Truly, honestly, I miss the days of the Yankees panicking and signing players to lucrative long term deals because they won 95 games and missed the playoffs as a result of being in a tough division, or made the playoffs but lost in the division series. It was that panicking that made this most recent World Series-less string so enjoyable for onlookers, myself included.
Since he's been relieved of his player personnel duties, the Yankees have used their advantages (money) in crafty, smart ways that have allowed them to get over the hump.
Hopefully, when they're flawed rotation and bullpen end their season in the playoffs, "like father, like son" will hold true, and they'll go out and resign Jeter for ridiculous amounts of money and keep him at short stop as I mentioned above, in addition to throwing Sabathia-money at Cliff Lee and Teixeira money at another aging veteran not in his prime and not named Carl Crawford.
Your post lacks anything resembling a rational thought. Thanks for trying, but until you formulate an actual sentence, you can go fuck yourself, as can your ass-to-mouth buddy Georgey.
Well, in George's case, I'm glad to see him dead and that won't change.
What a cocksucker he was.

What a moron. The Yankees have won seven world titles since George bought the team. How many have the Red Sox won? Talk about posting nothing resembling a rational thought. Jealousy is a bitch, I guess. No point in arguing with an idiot like you. The New York Yankees are the classiest organization in all of sports, and George Steinbrenner worked hard to regain that status for the team, as well as for the city of New York. Disparaging the dead is about as low as you can go. But then again, I guess it should be expected from any asshole dumb enough to brag about his cock size in every post he makes. You are truly too stupid to live.
He and Jerry wrote most of the episodes, along with a couple of other writers. His show Curb Your Enthusiasm on HBO is hilarious.

You wish he were here to see him overpay for declining veterans?
Where have you been kid, he's signed and over paid for declining veterans.
To be honest with you at one point I hated that guy but in the end he cared a whole lot for his team and again, I've said this before and I will say it again...he invests his profits on his team. Unlike other teams like the Pirates whose owners were caught not spending it on the team.
Last season yes, this season no.Posada, A-rod, Granderson and your favorite Nick "ironman" Jonhson
It's a well known fact that he will be taken care of....how are you going to run out the face of the franchise? For all he's done for them and baseball you think we should run him out of town like Boston does to it's players? Clemens.
They know it's bad business and for crying out loud they have the fucking money.
The yankees will live on and be the best or at least the most competitive baseball around for years to come....very few teams can or will do that.
Thank you, Min0!
A person who knows their ass from their elbow
Steinbrenner had great qualities about him as an owner, absolutely. He wanted to win more than any other owner of his era, and showed it by spending millions upon millions to change the Yankee culture. Not only did he want to win more than any other owner, he was able to turn that desire into a ridiculous money maker. The YES network, the new Toilet... As a businessman, I have nothing but praise.
However, as a person, and as a person overseeing baseball personnel decisions, he flat out sucked.
The Granderson trade was simply a bad trade. The Tigers believed that he was simply a platoon player given his inabilities to hit left handed pitching and the Yankees were bent over and reamed in this as a result. Obviously, the Yankees aren't better off without Granderson on the roster, but I don't think him being injured hurt the Yankees all that much. Given that the year before, Cashman bent over Kenny Williams and reamed him in the ass, stealing Nick Swisher away.
Enough about ass play.
Posada is old, and a catcher. Him playing all season is an unrealistic expectation.
The ironman's inability to stay healthy is truly unfortunate. Some players are just like that. Thing is, you can't say it was a bad acquisition because it didn't pan out. He would have been the ideal fit at the top of the order DH'ing for you guys this year.
The A-Rod injury is the only one that can be considered unlucky, but he too is getting up there in age. As we know from his narcisstic photo shoot kissing his shirtless image in the mirror, the guy stays in excellent shape and he's pretty much been healthy for the entirety of his career as a result.
As we now know, opting not to resign Clemens was more than likely the right decision if massive steroid abuse didn't revive his career.
They could pay him $100 million per season, and given jersey sales and shit like that, they'd probably make it all back. Thing is, with the luxury tax in place, he's putting them in a tough position being unable to comprehend the economics of baseball, and how he's simply not deserving of the salary he's possessed over the last decade.
Johnny Damon was unwilling to take a pay cut and it bit him in the ass; he's basically irrelevant now and is in no position to sign for anything more than peanuts this offseason.
More important than the money the Yankees will ultimately throw his way, however, is the fact that third and second base are basically off limits with Rodriguez and Cano around for the next decade. Same goes for first, though he wouldn't be considered there anyways. He's come off as a guy who has kept his ego in check, but I wonder if that's the cas, considering all the things I've read about over the last couple of months. I can't imagine he'll take too well to being Biggio'ed around the field.. I mean, the guy is excusing his lackluster play this season offensively on not making the necessary adjustments. Umm... no, you clueless bastard, you're no longer the same player you once were, players around you/across the Majors are better, younger, faster, stronger, etc. and you simply can't keep up like you once did.
Not to sound all Jim Rome here, but as a fan of a team that's out of it, I'm excited to see what happens with Jeter this offseason and in the future. You can't possibly keep trotting him out there to short, can you?
Hopefully they worked out his swing...he does show a nice swing for the Stadium but I agree.....I would have kept Jackson instead.
He's DH material, why are they waiting so long for the transaction?
He can still hit but by having him behind the plate they are taking a year away from his career.
I said it from the beginning, he won't last. He definitely will not be signed next season.

No, he was pretty average this year....I believe your SS had the same numbers Jeter put up but with better range.

Granderson's career line against lefties: .216 .274 .346 .620
Granderson's career line against righties:
.287 .363 .526 .889
He's well above average for a corner outfielder against righties, and playing in centerfield, his line against right handed pitchers is elite. The thing is, he can't hit lefties and shouldn't be considered an everyday player.
Jackson played extremely well this year. I wonder if that's how his career will trend because his track record didn't indicate the kind of year he had this season. But, players figure it out, play with a chip on their shoulder, make a commitment they previously haven't made, etc. - that's why baseballs the best sport.
I don't get the Posada thing either. Again, a .400 OBP out of Nick Johnson in the two hole is a risk worth taking. For your sake, getting a legit catcher and making Posada the primary DH would make sense.
As for Nick Johnson, again.. he'd be making the big bucks right now if he could stay healthy. Kid can straight rake when he's able to play at 100%.
Statistically, Marco Scutaro has been just as good if not better than he has been this year offensively. And defensively, Scutaro has been better, but that's not saying much.
