A Yankee Thread - 2007 Season

[DisneyGiant]

I thought it would be nice to have a place where fellow Yankee & Disney fans can commiserate, discuss, chat, whine , intelligently talk about our team's crazy, challenging, seemingly almost lost season.

There seems to be a lot of us, and we can at least have a place to share our frustrations and disappointment for this season so far.

Request: That being said - if you don't like, despise, don't care for or otherwise "hate" the Yankees, please start another thread to discuss those sentiments. Pretty please? Thanks.

Though I don't know who would take him.

Normally I like to think I exhibit patience with a player who's slumping (I never gave up on A-Rod last year & of course, my exhibiting patience matters nada anyway ) but can we afford to keep him in the line up with the way this whole team has been playing (Thank goodness for Jeter, Posada & A-Rod).

I mean - we need to start winning some games here.

Its been so annoying - when the pitching is good - the hitting disappears. When we bring in 6 runs - the other team scores more.

I've been reading rumors that the Yanks might go after Torii Hunter. How about tomorrow? LOL. Damon needs to go on the DL - NOW.

What's your gut telling you? Do we pull the AL East off (everyone that I read keeps saying Boston's going to cool eventually) or can we even earn a Wild Card spot this year?

Think Cashman has any miracles up his sleeve?

I don't even know what to think. The spend all this money and they can't even win.

The new stadium is starting to take shape though...it's looking good so far.

As much as I hate to say "I'm not panicking" to all of my Red Sox friends, inside I am. I don't get it. I just don't get it. All the money aside, this team just has too much talent to play like this.
Also, something about this season just feels weird. Yesterday, for example, Abreu being called out on back-to-back bad calls just didn't happen in seasons passed - there have been a lot of those calls against the Yanks this year - that NEVER happens - it's always the other way around. I'm not crying - not at all - I just think this team is going to have to find something to rally around - like Roger Clemens' return - and go from there. I will say - Rocket's return will make for a very interesting and fun summer. Lets get him going, get through the rotation 4 or 5 times without missing a start, get Hughes back and get back to .500. All those things need to happen before we can even start talking Wild Card...

I will never give up on my beloved Yankees however, I really hope we can get it together...soon.

Some days it seems like they are really coming around and they are playing really great baseball. Bats are going, pitchers are keeping it going. Other days (sadly,most days lately) they just really fall apart.

Jeter, Arod, Posada and a few others have been constant. Thankfully we can rely on them.

My middle son, 7, is a HUGE Yankees fan. He keeps asking me if they are going to make it to the WS this year?! Thankfully he is young enough to let "We'll see" be a good enough answer. We get two 7 game flex packs each season for a total of 14 games, plus we go to Opening Day and games in between. So far, they have won 4 of the last 5 we have gone to. One of which was a huge game for Arod. (We were down by 2 and he hit a walk off with 2 on to win the game with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th!!!!). Our next game is not until July 2nd. We are hoping they can "come around" by then so he can continue to watch them win. I told him that maybe he was their good luck charm..lol.

I keep telling myself it is only May. We are really hoping we can see the season turn around soon.

Kakn7294's DH posting: Funny you should mention a lost season - I thought the same thing myself when I saw the Yankees loss yesterday to the Angels. It does seem that the season is going south in a hurry but maybe it's just the Yankee fan in me that I still believe that they can turn it around. Of course that is if the pitching staff ever comes around and the hitting improves - they need more consistency in the bats. I ultimately feel the worst for Joe Torre as irregardless of what's quoted in the papers I think the Boss is looking hardest at him. You think this wouldn't bother me as much since I live in Pittsburgh and I'm also a Pirate fan but I have been a devout Yankee fan since 1979 so this is killing me especially since it's the Red Sox in first place.

Yankees vs Red Sox tomorrow 1:05 pm at the Stadium!!

Guess who is going to be there??!!

You guessed it...lol... My kids and I!!

Totally unexpected. My Dad has a co worker who has season Field Champ seats. They are 9 rows back from the field on the first base line. My Dad gets 6 of them each season, never to a Yanks/Red Sox game though. They are amazing seats and my boys are going to flip. I have not told them where we are sitting yet. When we don't go sit in Tier MVP they are going to be shocked!!

I have avoided taking them to a game between the two teams since they tend to get a little rowdy. I know the atmosphere in this area will be great for them. That on top of it being a rare day game between the two teams.

I just wish my Dad's girlfriend and son wasn't going so my DH and DD could go. It's okay, they go enough.

Sorry for the long post. I am just so excited!!

[DizneyFreak2002]

Going for the sweep.... What is that we hear out of Boston?? Not a peep.... Thinking the Yankees were done?? Not a chance.... Tomorrow, time to knock Schilling around....

[DisneyGiant]

How about that awesome win last night?

I have to admit - I was a very bad fan last night - and turned the game off!!! Who could have conceived six runs in the 8th?!!!!!!

All I have to say is - way to go - this team wants the division - not just the playoffs!

Makes me proud to be a Yankee fan!!!

We have been keeping up here in SSR as much as we can. I can get the scores on my cell at least. I have only been able to get the game on the TV once, one of the Boston games on ESPN.

1.5 games back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are getting harrassed like crazy down here. CM's joking around and taking the kids Yankees hats, telling us we can't get autographs because we are NYY fans...lol. The boys thought they were serious at first. Now, they are getting good with the come backs. It has been a lot of good natured fun.

That sounds like fun! My two nephews only wear Disney T shirts when in WDW - and the rest of the baseball season - its Yankees clothing all the way (I think they have every shirt they make!)

I can hardly believe its only 1 1/2 games back!!! Though I am more thrilled that we're "this close" to making the playoffs as the wild card!

Seriously - we seem to be ON FIRE!!!! Got to keep that momentum through October!!!!

Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!
