A's release Giambi...but that isn't what's so funny

OK. Now THEM'S fightin' words.

if it's any consolation, 2001 IS second...

Well, we'll have to just agree to disagree. I think 1991 is second...

The A's released Giambi today, who was batting just .193. Blah blah blah, another Yankee steroid-user, what's new.

You still have no room to talk . Your team has just as many. And don't even **** deny it. I'm tired of everyone's "**** the Yankees" attitude with all posts about them. The Red Cox would still have the Curse if it wasn't for PED's so shut the **** up.

Whoa! bandle is a Red Sox fan!?! That MF'er!

... I'd look sooner at the 1987 Twins... they of the explosive power hitters Gaetti, Puckett, Hrbek, Brunansky all had 28+ homers (in an era where that kind of power was reserved for 1 guy/team)

Dude, you're missing the point of this conversation. You don't offer up your own team's titles. Your team's titles are clean; all other titles are tainted. Get it?

I still hate Jeffery Maier.

Joe - bitching about the Yankees being "victimized" by PED's is the most patently absurd thing I've EVER read on this board (and I've read Z and T-Man in the Poli Lounge, and BlackFalkin too). The Yankees were overpaying for declining talent long before Giambino took them for a ride... moreover, bitch all you want about "the way PED's hurt the Yankees" but I'll write you a fricken dissertation on how the Yankees obscene spending on free agents has hurt ALL OF BASEBALL in a much more significant way over the past 20 years. You'll have to excuse me if I find it difficult to shed a tear for the Evil Empire flushing millions away on a couple of steroid-jockeys when for the better part of a decade their operation destabilized half a dozen franchises because they couldn't field a competitive team, because every star they developed was sniped by the Yankees for a gigantic contract.

As for the Red Sox - honest to God, since 2004, they've done more to convince me that there are things worse in the world than the Yankees and their fans... and that's Sawks fans... The Sawks have engaged in all of the same up-bidding for free agents that has created a caste system in the game... and yet pretend like somehow they are any better than the Yankees. Moreover, where the fvck were these Red Sox fans before about 2003??? Now they show up and act like they were "with em all the way" when if you asked them to name more than 5 Sox who played during the 90's (and excluded Clemens, Boggs and Greenwell) they couldn't do it.

2001*

Did 2001 take Steroids?

He's a liberal, Joe. They're a little slow on the uptake.

You buy 'em books and buy 'em books, and all they do is eat the covers.
