| Hanger-On Registered: Aug. 01 | A committee of Yankee haters. Funny how you never hear of Yankee fans coming up with a committee to hate the Mets. Oh, maybe if the Mets actually got into the World Series more than 4 times since 1962 Yankee fans could create a committee, but I guess we will have to wait until hell freezes. What is it about the Yankees that you hate so much? That they win? Can't be the payroll. Lots of teams are at that level. Their Arrogance? You can be arrogant when you win 4 out of 5 World Series. I know I am going to get flamed for this by Mets fans. But what else do Mets fans have to do these days? | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | YANKEES LOSE!! BAHAHAHAHAHA YANKEES LOSE!!! 2 more wins and the A's move on, and the yanks go quietly home. Clemens sucks, he finally got no run support to save his sorry ass. And Giambi is without a shadow of a doubt the MVP of the AL. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Game 2 ALDS Preview: LETS GO A's. Hopefully Hudson can continue to shut them down. I have a feeling that Jermaine Dye is gonna have a big game tonight. :) Probable Starting Pitchers Oakland: Tim Hudson (NR, 0.00) NY Yankees: Andy Pettitte (NR, 0.00) BRONX, NEW YORK (TICKER) -- The New York Yankees find themselves in a familiar spot Thursday, when they attempt to even the American League Division Series in Game Two against the Oakland Athletics. New York suffered a 5-3 setback Wednesday, but it was not the first time the three-time defending champions have dropped a series opener. In winning four championships over the previous five seasons, the Yankees lost Game One in four of 13 series, including two best-of-five sets. Last season, the Yankees limped into playoffs by losing 13 of their final 15 regular season games and dropped Game One against Oakland in the ALDS and against Seattle in the league championship series. In 1996, New York lost the first game against Texas in the ALDS and the first two games of the World Series against Atlanta. All four times, the Yankees prevailed. If there is someone who knows how to pitch in October, it is lefthander Andy Pettitte (15-10, 3.99 ERA), who seeks his fourth consecutive victory in the Division Series Thursday. Pettitte, the only starting pitcher who has been on all four Yankees' World Series teams since 1996, is 7-4 with a 4.28 ERA lifetime in the postseason. "Andy made quite an impression on me in 1996, there is no question," Yankees manager Joe Torre said. "Of course, he stumbled in Game One (of the 1996 World Series), got ripped pretty good. Then in Game Five, he pitched a 1-0 game. That left a big impression on me. He did struggle a couple of years later and there was talk of Andy being traded, but I don't think (pitching coach) Mel Stottlemyre or myself ever wavered in our support. "He's a tough kid. Again, it doesn't guarantee he's going to win. But I know he has a big heart." Pettitte combined with Mariano Rivera on a six-hit shutout in New York's 4-0 victory in Game Two of the 2000 ALDS. Pettitte was 1-4 in his last eight starts during the regular season. He left his September 26 start against Tampa Bay after getting hit with a line drive above his pitching elbow. Pettitte recovered from the injury Saturday, tossing five scoreless innings at Tampa Bay. "I was very inconsistent," Pettitte said. "After pitching four months into the season, I was nowhere near the finish I wanted to have. It was just a stretch. It seems like I always have a stretch during the course of a season I go through." Pettitte faced Oakland only once this season, on May 16 at Network Associates Coliseum. He allowed three runs and seven hits in eight innings in a 4-3 loss. Including last season's Division Series, Pettitte is 9-3 against the A's. Oakland manager Art Howe hands the ball to righthander Tim Hudson (18-9, 3.37). The 26-year-old righthander is the most established of any Oakland starter, with 49 career wins, but has been overshadowed by the success of Mark Mulder and Barry Zito, who wil pitch Game Three. "I know what I bring to the table every time I come out and pitch," Hudson said. "If there's somebody on our staff that can go out and catch the headlines in front of me, I'm happy. That means our staff is going out there and giving our team a chance to win and going out there and shutting people down." Hudson finished the regular season 2-2 in his final five starts and was 9-4 after the All-Star break. In his only playoff start, he lost, 4-2, to the Yankees in Game Three of last season's Division Series, allowing four runs and six hits in eight innings. Hudson made two starts against the Yankees this season with mixed results. On April 28, he surrendered seven runs and 12 hits over six innings in a 7-6 loss at Yankee Stadium. He did not record a decision at home on May 15, allowing two runs and 10 hits in a 3-2 victory. Hudson has never won against the Yankees in four career starts, including the playoffs. If the Yankees are going to adavnce to the ALCS for the fourth straight season, they will have to win at least once in Oakland, where they were 0-6 this season. | ||||

Just because your boy, Clemens, who Yankee fans hated for years and now root for, couldn't tough out his poor hammy? Who closed out the game? Izzy? 1 down, 2 to go.  | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Aug. 01 | quote: Because 99% of the people on this so called committee are jealous Mets fans. Also, don't label all Yankee fans as bandwagon fans. I remember the Ed Whitson days, the Don Gullet experiement, etc. etc. etc. When you win, you get bandwagon fans. Mets in 86 had them too. This committee is all about Yankee haters, which are mostly Mets fans. You have never rooted for the A's in your life, all of a sudden you are A's fans? | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | quote: The main point of this committee is to root against the yankees. Your right, i am a huge Giambi fan, but i havent followed the A's like i follow the Mets. The point is that even if it were the Indians against the Yanks, id root for the Indians. As long as those Yankees lose and leave the playoffs, then I will be happy. quote: Well put Dragon. Thats one of the main aspects i hate about the whole yankees "dynasty". One of the things i really want to see is the yankees to lose this year, and for the next few years. Then i wanna see the Stadium sold out every night (which it isnt now anyway), and i wanna see the yankee diehards, and see how many there are left. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Mar. 01 | quote: Like my previous post said, all these years I havn't been a Yankee hater. I enjoyed them being good for New York. But it hasn't been the arrogance of the team that's turned me this year, but the arrogance of their fans- both longtime and bandwagon (bandwagon is worse, though. Andy Hawkins? Who's that? bleh.) I've had to deal with some very obnoxious Yankee rooters and Mets bashers this summer, and I am not a Yankee basher, so it's uncalled for. I will enjoy them (those fans) getting theirs. I just hope the mighty A's don't sweep, and shorten my pleasure. Oh, and I don't want to hear any "well, at least we won our 4 of 5." or "26 championships" as if somehow anyone cares for 2001. If ya lose, stand up and take it properly! WookiePoolParty: Now even more new and improved!! _____Crack Committee: Go A's!_____  This is a great country we live in. Son of NYPD, our real heroes.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | quote: As a member of the crack committee, and starter of this thread, i am offended by that comment. Personally, i am just sick and tired of people thinking that Mets fans are jealous. What do we have to be jealous about? The fact that we are more media friendly than the Yanks? Or the fact that Yankee stadium is never sold out, yet theyve won 4 out of 5 championships, so it says something about the fans in general. The people in the committee are based on one thing, to root that those Yankees get out of the playoffs. Hell, if anyone else had a 4 outta 5 streak, id root against them too. So, you go root for ur yanks, and i'll root against them. Thats just the way it is. *EDIT* YANKEES LOSE, BAHAHAHAHAHAHA YANKEES LOSE!! 1 more game and they go quietly into the night. The dynasty is almost over :) This message was edited by Cluster F on 10-12-01 @ 12:18 AM | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | lol cluster must be laughing harder than a skin head at a holocaust memorial. I have to give oakland credit their pitching has been phenominal and their offense and defense just as astounding. Pettite did a great job but mulder was just better than him tonight and pitched a masterpiece. Yanks have no shot in my eyes to win 3 straight now, not with how their pitcing is going and as cold as their bats are. I would love to see oakland win cause Giambi deserves it as does the rest of the team but my money is still on Seattle, but we shall see.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | quote: 1st of all, if you'd have read my first post you'd see I don't dislike all fans; it is the arrogant bullies who aren't satisfied enough with their own wins, but need to knock others. Jealous Met fan? Yeah, I'm a Met fan, but not jealous. I had no problem with Yankees of late 70's and their fans. Among my dislike - I attended a Mets vs Red Sox game around 1999; there was a loudmouth Yankee fan ripping the Mets, and rooting for Sox there. No self-respecting Yankee fan should root for Red Sox, even over Mets. When Yankees lost in Bottom of 9th, My entire section yelled back at the idiot. As I also said, I was at game 5 last year's series. Again Idiot Yankee fans stood taunting Met fans and acted generally moronic, rather than being gracious after a great played game. It is because I can't stand these idiots that I wish Yankees to go down in flames. The fact that the A's have Billy Beane (Met's failed #1 pick) running the show, Izzy to close, and that they have shown heart not folding this year is an added bonus. You go back to Whitson, which is OK; If you said Horace Clark &/or Jerry Kenney, I'd have a little more respect :) By the way, 2 down; 1 to go: then the mal-ochio (evil eye) can turn onto the evil ones in the south. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Gotta give credit to Mussina, what a game by him. Even better game by Zito, but 1 mistake was all it took. I picked A's in 4 anyway, so i guess the yanks got the one they shouldve had b4. Putting my mets bias on hold, i loved this game tonight, these are the types of games i love to watch. I dont care what anyone says, Giambi was safe lol. But if u dont slide, u deserve to be out. Great play by jeter too :(. BTW...FU to OPIE for that fucking curse he has. I dont care about the isles, but it further proves his point. Of course the yanks had to win tonight. If they win tomorrow, he might think twice about going to work lol.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Wow, you guys win one game and all of a sudden you are going to win the series??? I dont think so. Last night they won, but they sucked at the plate, what makes you think they will be any better tonight. Mussina cant pitch for them every night. Therefore, my original prediction of A's in 4 will happen this afternoon, hopefully after the Giants beat the Rams :).
