i hope they choke again for the 3rd time in the row on the last day of the season HAHA GO YANKS!

[dumbbuff]

why don't you worry about your own league. you'll be in a heated race with toronto for 3rd place

[ronnismetsblog]

joe torre is a sham...he was in the right place at the right time. right when the yankees mid season acquisitions mixed with the steroids era met in the bronx.

then he sold his old players out. he condemned canseco in an interview for writing a book solely to make money...then bam he does the same thing. he managed the dodgers right out of the playoffs last season.

i can't wait to see joba's arm falls off

[dumbbuff]

I like joba. I respect jeter. fuck the rest of them. priviliged assholes
