More sour grapes from the Yanks...

[YosemiteSam]

Correct, they stabbed the Yanks in the back by reneging on a deal. Classy outift those M's.

Not that the Yankees are very classy with the way they try to buy a World Series every year.

Guess they don't know what "earning it" means

Yeah I'm sure they Yankees have never done that to other teams.

Pursuing free agents within league rules is the same as backing out of a gentleman's agreement? News to me.

Anyway, I don't recall much complaining when we did you a favor by taking the majority of A-Rod's massive salary off your hands.

Actually, the Rangers are paying/paid part of his salary to play for NY... you're welcome...

cute

My family lived in Irving and Plano TX and Northern NJ in the 1960s, so we're "legit" fans of both teams. Never cared for basketball.

Nah, People were complaining man, we still had to pay him even when he left the team and was wearing pinstripes. The Yankees have done no favors for Texas.


This isn't Seattle swindling the Pittsburgh Pirates in a backdoor deal. This is the New York Yankees. The epitome of getting talent from the backdoor. You will be hard pressed to find many people outside of New York who will have any sympathy that the Yankees didn't get their man for once.

Yes, "part" of his salary, which is why I noted that the Yanks are paying the "majority."

First and foremost, the last thing you should be discussing is "gentleman" anything and A-Roid in the same sentence.

Everyone knows that he is a doping cheater. Not only that, he plays the game with a bush-league mentality. Not just once either!

I recall plenty of complaints from Yankee fans after you got him.

Especially during the periods when he couldn't take his performance enhancers due to all the heat on him about taking them. You know, when he was hitting sub 300 and could only muster 30HRs a season.

Lets not even discuss some of the non-gentleman things George (and now Hank) did during his time as owner of the Yankees. (yes, I'm well aware that George was good hearted person, but that doesn't excuse some of the stuff he did)

Anyway, it sounds like you've got a plate for of sour grapes.

Remind me: which ALCS manager is a recovering cokehead? Those in glass houses ...

Recovering? I'm quite sure he was coked up in the 8th inning of Game 1...

 

[Cythim]

I have no sympathy for the Yankees not getting their man but I do have a problem with rewarding a bankrupt team with money to sign one of the best pitchers in the game.

That's not actually what happened. The Rangers were given a budget by MLB and then kept money available in that budget for a mid-season move, which they made.

What does that have to do with anything? You think doing crack has helped Washington be a better manager?

Nothing. But the same can be said for Steinbrenner's transgressions, which someone brought up gratuitously.

What about A-Roids? Can that? I think so.

Besides, you are the one who brought up what you referred to as non-gentleman behavior.

You're just digging a deeper hole bb.

Umm, the Rangers had the money budgeted to make the moves.

He wasn't 'roiding as a Ranger? Hi-larious.

When the Yanks went up 1-0, I didn't rub it in Texas fans' faces. Try to learn from my example.

I didn't rub anything in your face.

btw, he has roided all his life. He and Mark Teixeira both were roiding since high school at least.
