Yankees Offseason Thread

Johnny Damon looked stupid with the overgrown hair/beard.  I'm glad he'll have to trim up.

This is the gayest argument ever.

I contend that you and chuggie fighting over the last wine cooler at the KC tailgate was more gayer.

It was no fight.  When Chuggie gets a 4 pack of B & J in him, he gets crazy retard strength.  That Mexican fruit topping is all types of out of control when he gets hopped up on some strawberry passion fruit.  And if there's Zima anywhere to be found..........just stay the farg out of his way. 

He also uses his ass as a bottle opener.

In totally unrelated news of the Yankees' extravagant spending habits:

Yankees hit with $34 million luxury tax, Red Sox to pay $4 million

The Yankees were hit with a $34 million luxury tax and the Red Sox were told they owe $4 million to the commissioner's office.

Baseball's biggest rivals, both eliminated in the first round of the postseason, were the only teams to exceed the payroll threshold established in baseball's labor contract, according to figures sent to teams by the commissioner's office.

And with all of that, the Yankees still can't seem to find pitching or make a profit.

hey!  their team salary is expected to be $25 mill lower than last year.

Yea, I guess that'll do it.

brown made 15 damon will make 13...where does the other 23 mil come off the roster

[hunt]

you can look it up...i know brown is a good chunk of it but i don't care enough to look up the rest.

all i know is that i heard on espn radio this morning that their payroll will be $25 mill less than last season.

[ice grillin you]

is there anything you actually do know about that yankees except that youre supposed to like them cause they won a lot of world series

[DH]

The 05' payroll was $206M. The following blub is from an article on Yankees.com...

"With the signings of Hideki Matsui, Johnny Damon and a number of relievers, the Yankees payroll is expected to remain in the $200 million range."

[ice grillin you]

thats what i figured...brown and damon is a wash

matsui and the other small signings will be cancelled out by the money they lose off bernies contract and the couple other players they lose

no way they could sign damon for what they did and knock 25 mil off the payroll
