NEW YORK YANKEES SEASON THREAD VOL. ROAD TO 27

[gregzzy23]

Man #+#% the Devil Rays. I said that "slide" was a dirty play off the bat (in a ST game) and I would've been just as easily mad if one of theyankee players injured another player like that.

Shelley might've been reckless but payback is a +%@!@. I'll take Shelley on my side in a fight any day of the week

You just knew that play at the plate would come back sooner or later. These guys face off 20 times this season? I doubt this will be the last we hear ofthis.

It can be argued that he went a little over the top because Heath Phillips hit Longoria early in the game, and got tossed, so perhaps that was all thatneeded to be done. I respect Shelley though. I got in the car before, and my dad said the Rays/Yankees got into a brawl, and I said "I bet you ShelleyDuncan started it". Sure enough, he did

I knew he wouldconsidering he said earlier in the week that "..... Anything could happen when I'm coming from third to home plate".

You think Billy Crystal is going to hit a lot of home runs?

 

[the pga tour]

That play at homeplate was not dirty whatsoever. The Catcher was BLOCKING the plate! What's he supposed to do, stop running and just head to the dugout?

And to come back the next day, to hit their best prospect, AND slide cleats up into second base? Now THAT'S dirty.

Joe Girardi is not off to a good start in my book.

 

[kingofdacourtz]

Can't wait for the season to start. I always lurked in last years threads, I plan on contributing this year.

[answer iv dmx]

I just saw the Billy Christal thing on SC.

I think that is so dope.

More MLB teams should do this with lifelong fans and promoters of the sport

When it's a Boston fan saying this, you know we're in for some good times.

 

[allen3xis]

Now,

I'd prefer to drill someone in the back if you're looking to send a message, not spikes first slide...

however Duncan did it, ok....I can live with that, I guess.

But I can't live with him doing it and then acting like he didn't know what was going on and denying that he even slid spikes up.

The catcher wasnt BLOCKING the plate he left room for Johnson to slide he chose to go all out in spring training and break one of our top catchingprospects wrist, and that HBP to there best prospect barely brushed his shirt and it wasnt even clear if it was intentional.

Luckly the Yankees can care less about your book.

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Shelley Duncan.

"He went after the smallest player on the field."

He went after the second baseman.

Good job Shelley. That's baseball.

What's your point? I guarantee you, if that was Jeter taking out a catcher, you would be praising him for hustle, and grit especially that it was spring training.

@ you thinking Jeter would EVER do something like that.

you know, I was gonna add a note saying, he's too frail to do that. But I decided it would make me look too biased

It's whatever, Jeter is Jeter... I don't even need to expand on him & how Yankees fans feel about him.

 

[hnydlr]

and thats why we cant trade Shelly

 

[carlmonday]

Joe Girardi said yesterday that if he saw a replay that showed what Shelley Duncan did was dirty, he would have a meeting with him.

Girardi and Duncan met this morning.
