This whole who has the bigger d*ck in New York is obnoxious enough on a music forum, I can only imagine what it's like in the city.
Has anyone gone from so likeable early in their career to hateable later in their career more than A Rod? EVERYONE loved him when he was coming up with the Mainers, now everyone including many diehard Yanks fans have been sick of him for years.
I'm not a city dweller so I never got into the NYY/NYM pissing contest. To me the Mets are just a woeful NL team that I have no strong opinions about. I was pretty happy to see them beat the Bosux in the WS.
I haven't ever liked ARoid and him hitting 12 straight ALCS home runs wouldn't change my opinion. He's a d-bag to the core.

For the record, I only bash the Yankees when I deal with Yankee fans like funky. I generally support them (I have no reason not to) and actually enjoy talking to Yankee fans like Quacker and LLL.
Funky's needless jabs at the Mets are irritating, so I respond, and like a typical 80's baby Yankee fan it goes back to "her de der you like the Mets! 27 championships! *guzzles Jeters sperm* RAHHHHH" type of stuff.
If funky spent...I dunno, 5 minutes reading through this thread he would see I make fun of the Mets more than he ever could, I'm not delusional.
And to answer your comment, Yankee/Mets fans don't generally fight with each other outside of 6 pointless games every year. 80's baby Yankee fans are the only people who do this, because they're spoiled sports-wise and think that the fact their team had a great 4-year run it means they get cart blanche to be the end-all-be-all of baseball conversation.
Comments like the one below exhibit this warped feeling of being owed something:
I wouldn't pay $100 to see this team to be honest because they remind me of the Mets. I would only pay around $20 which is what I would expect to pay at a Mets game. Why? Because they are the Mets and you expect them to bow out sometime in the season.
And don't blame the Mets because your owners priced out real fans to turn Yankee Stadium into a 50k seat ATM machine. I've yet to meet a Yankee fan who likes Yankee Stadium more than Citifield.

Whelp, how you can make every motherfuker on Detroit's pitching rotation* look like Sandy Fuking Koufax is beyond me. Congrats to the Tigers.
See ya Swish, See ya A-Rod. I bet they try their damndest to get out of the back half of his third world country GDP contract. Or just take the hit. Maybe they will use the roid controversy to get out of it. He's 37 for crissakes. Why you would extend a 10 year contract to a 32 yr old is beyond me. Fukin fukity fuk.
Guess I'm down for the Tigers for the WS. My dad would crack my ass if I rooted for either the Cards or the Giants.
*A very decent pitching squad I will say, but still.

On an up note, my dad promised me his 56 Phil Rizzuto graded Topps card to make me feel better. He has a cubic shiz-ton of really nice cards. If the economy ever collapses and we start running off of gold and baseball cards, I'm set.
Just to clarify, where, exactly, do Yankee fans expect to send a 37-year-old 3B whose skills are deteriorating at a faster clip than the limbo realm from Inception and is also owed $114 million over the next 5 seasons (yes, he is owed money until he will be 42 years old and rotting on the Yankees bench for TWENTY million dollars)?
Also, he has a no-trade clause.
Basically, Hank Steinbrenner is worse at running a team than James Dolan, which brother Hal recognized immediately after this deal and took away all Hank's responsibility.

Listen Donald Trump says he is fired, so he is. When Trump talks people listen.
I thought I saw some talk of the Marlins. Both sides are refuting that, but the original report came from Olbermann Yanks would have to pay out much of the remainder of his contract, or take on another player's shizzy contract. I read talk of him waiving his clause if he can go to a major market team. Pops will shiz if he goes to LA ( Boston West).

A-Rod isn't going to Miami. Fact is teams don't want the distraction he poses without the massive hitting #'s.
Every fan I've spoken to gives the same answer, FWIW. "Pay most of his contract and send him somewhere." But why would anyone want to trade for the worst contact possibly in the history of baseball. Jason Bay is up there, but at least his is over after next season and costs significantly less than A-Rod's. If he doesn't turn it around next season..

What do you make of the suggestion hat they can wiggle out of his contract because of his steroid controversy? They should have done that long ago if they were going to

No chance. Basically, anything Donald Trump says is incredibly stupid and he should be ignored completely.
Plus, even if this was something you could legally do, you'd have to prove that he was doing steroids when he signed his current deal, which he wasn't (at least there's no record showing he did).
It's just another talking point for Yankee fans to discuss in the offseason, but will carry no weight beyond that.

I don't believe A-Rod is going anywhere his contract is too ridiculous. I actually do like Citi Field more than Yankee Stadium, I've probably been to both equally because I worked there for a bit. A-Rod can't get the bat around a fastball anymore just highlighting more signs to show that this Yankee team is old as Quack.
Nix needs to play more, Nunez, Gardner next year is something I am really looking forward too. We just need to field a young team that can still compete and not go into some rebuilding mode like the Royals.
But yeah, we rolled over and died and I couldn't really bring myself to concentrate on that game. Derek Jeters presence really does make a difference.
The fuggin Tigers. Standing on top of the world, you guys.
I actually really like the Tigers as a team, watching Verlander pitch is incredible (I have the MLB package so I watched most of his regular season starts), Miggy is just the purest hitter this league has had in a long time and Jim Leyland is a boss.

Perhaps we should be talkin about Jeters chances of hooking up with hot chicks in spite of his cast? Or maybe the delicious Sushi bar at Yanks stadium all winter?
I hate that Citi Field is called Citi Field. There I said it. I hate saying Citi Field instead of Shea.
So do all Mets fans, I promise you that.
Citifield has better sushi than Yankee Stadium. Truth.
I worked for Trump at his Trump Store in the Trump Tower on 5th avenue by Central Park. I actually got "fired" from that job, but only after I hadn't shown up for a month and they verified I wasn't dead. He's a d*ck and his holiday party had a cash bar.

Ha, you're a better man than I. I got the MLB.com subscription and used it to exclusively watch the Tigers (and I paid extra for the FSD announcers) .... this is why I know squat about pretty much any team other than the Tigers.
But ya, we're pretty lucky to be glued to the TV every time Verlander starts and every time Miguel steps to the plate (Prince ain't to shabby neither).
Well, Keith Hernandez, who testified in federal court about his cocaine use prior to coming to the Mets, does Mets games. One game he did "on location" from the restaurant porch in left field drinking wine the whole time.
Pretty soon Wally Backman will be the manager of the Mets and sh*t will get real.
No discussion about awful announcers can be had without mentioning Hawk Harrelson. And by "mentioning" I mean he wins hands down. My mom is a big White Sox fan so I've seen plenty of their games on T.V. Guy's on another level when it comes to homerism.
Rob Dibble's up there too, if someone out there is actually dumb enough to hire him again.

For the record, I wasn't saying Keith is bad, he's actually a great announcer. The Mets' announcing team is the reason to watch games when the team is out of it (sad, I know), but hearing Darling/Hernandez tell old war stories and basically rip baseball player apart on a nightly basis with Gary Cohen (life long Mets fan, went to every game and was the little nerdy kid who kept a scorebook for the whole season) giving the play-by-play and the statistical history of mets teams past is the best announcing team I've ever heard. In anything, really. I know it's sad that the announcing team is one of the 5 biggest reason to watch a broadcast, but they really are a joy to watch. Unless Keith gets bored, then he meanders through long-winded stories that make no sense, leaving the listener filling in the blanks with "....a night of cocaine..." here and "....a bar room brawl...." there. I wish I was this age in '86, mother of christ would that have been fun.
At this point I only watch the Mets for Gary, Kieth, and Ron. And Matt Harvey. One of my friends who is a diehard yanks fan and is trying to break into broadcasting watches Mets games just to hear them announce.
Also, f*ck Citi Field. Even if it's cheaper than Yankee Stadium, i'd rather haves $5 nosebleed seats at Shea. Man I miss high school.
