Again... I'm wrong. Silly me!
I'm not saying that it's wrong because that's the way it's set up but for Yankees fans to deny it... shame, shame.
And no..... I'm not a Yankees hater. I actually hate the Red Sox.
I'm also a big fan of Jeter and Cano.

Mike, I think we're having a disagreement as to what's old for a ballplayer. Arod absolutely is. The other 4 are nowhere near it. What do you consider old for a ballplayer?
I'm with you on hating the Red Sox though. Sad to see Valentine go. I was a big fan of his work this year.
On a side note, good luck to your O's. They're one of the better sports stories in quite some time. And I'll always love Buck. He helped turn the Yanks around and probably got a raw deal after the '95 season.

If we're looking at it that way..Man...Baltimore is an ANCIENT team...Thome...wow...which retirement home did you pull him out of?

To me... if you're a baseball player 35 and up your best days are behind you. There are of course exceptions.... Jeter is a timeless player that just continues to be good.
I was a big fan of Valentine's work this year too. Too bad he's gone.... that team deserves a dumb ass like him.
Jim Thome is ancient!!! The guy can still hit at 42!!
The Orioles have two guys 34 and one guy 36. None of them is a starter. Everyone else is younger. A lot of their players are in their 20's ... especially their core players.
Buck is a great manager and the fans in Baltimore love him. At last, the owner has found a baseball man to run this team and turn it around. With a key signing or two (a starter and a hitter) this team should be good for years.

Buck Showalter should be manager of the year. To watch what he did everyday with this team was remarkable. If the Orioles can sign a front line pitcher this Winter they will be good for a long time.
Major Props to the "A's". Almost as good a story as the Orioles. I'd love to see the Orioles and A's in the League Championship Series.
Yankees are old and their pitching is suspect. Not their year.

But time will tell, and there's always teams that play bigger/better than they actually are such as the Orioles and A's.
Orioles have already won their "world series" just by getting INTO the playoffs (well, kinda).
Sorry, as a Yanks fan we were so used to stomping on the O's it's hard not to pick at them! haha.

And Yankeee fans wonder why they're hated.
Here's to my 94 win Oakland A's, a team that is playing better than they actually are! `Dr!n#
