lol ... ouch. Can't believe they didn't have more success with all that talent last year.

Things are bad here job wise with the state trying to kill the universities. I *really* need baseball to start so I have something to take my mind off the stress every night.

C'mon April!!

i did it once in 2003, it was cool... but i'd rather put the money towards a game... Now that I'm on the West Coast, I try to get to at least a few away games for the Yanks... miss Yankee Stadium though

I plan on taking a trip up to Port St Lucie and Tampa to check out both NY teams. Now if only they can combine the entire pitching staff......

Maybe he should try his hand at football. I hear you can get away with all of that in the NFL.

Honestly, it's a pretty good time. Arizona is better in my opinion, but for the price, access, and amount of baseball, it's pretty good.

F30lolz · 03-01-2016, 04:40 PM

Chapman 30 game suspension and he won't appeal.

Thanks for this. Eovaldi, shouldn't be a big deal. As long as there is no soreness/pain in his throwing arm then I'll be happy. Tanaka is a ticking time bomb!

F30lolz · 03-02-2016, 10:37 AM

Also Jose Reyes, WTF? I think he'll miss the season but not sure when his court date is.

not the biggest fan of the Post, however, this answered a ton of questions for me yesterday http://nypost.com/2016/03/01/what-th...nd-jose-reyes/

Plus, Troy Tulo is unhappy in Toronto. Gonna be a great season and thank God February is over with. Aside from the Super Bowl, its the worst sports month.

agreed, not sure if you are watching the Yankees right now (i know its preseason) but they're not doing so hot haha

F30lolz · 03-02-2016, 12:52 PM

Relax, its only sprint training. They'll get their licks in soon enough. As for this season, Toronto and Boston worry me. Baltimore and Tampon don't.

hayes180 · 03-02-2016, 12:52 PM

+1 on Toronto and Boston

ny325 · 03-06-2016, 05:18 PM

Should be a tight AL east. I just hope the aging Yankees could stay healthy.

M_Six · 03-12-2016, 10:48 PM

Sox have Hanley at 1B and Sandoval at 3B, plus Farrell in the dugout. I am not optimistic.

ChuckAWDM2 · 03-12-2016, 11:09 PM

A lot of talk about the Yankees starters. Im optimistic with Tanaka and Nathan and maybe I missed it skimming through...no mention of Severino! Kid is going to be good. I think the Yankees failed in not picking up a top notch starter. As others stated, i have no confidence in Nova or CC and hopeful for Pinedia to stay healthy. Bullpen looks solid. Good pickup in Castro. Hopefully the team in general can stay healthy. Excited baseball is back ( preseason anyway )
