Yankee offense: worst start in 10 yrs

[jacksonianmarch]

Runs scored the past 10 yrs

2007: 56
2006: 65
2005: 42
2004: 41
2003: 65
2002: 50
2001: 68
2000: 45
1999: 69
1998: 52

2008? 25


The only reason we won 4 games is the pitching. Our offense is awful right now. When did anyone ever think that after 9 games (where 6 included the royals and rays) that we'd be averaging 2.7 runs a game. Thats embarassing.

Don't fret jacko, look at Detroit's offense. Both very intimidating line ups who just haven't warmed up yet. Once they get going, watch out. In the meantime, I'll enjoy games where A-rod strikes out 4 times, ha ha!

Papi is really struggling too, it won't last.

its safe to say to say that the 4 worst teams on paper before the year began were kc baltimore florida and sanfranciso
as of this morning?
kc in 1st
baltimore in 1st
florida in 1st
san fran last......
early in the season teams are reluctant to over work their starters and many are just getting acclimated to the weather up north.
the hitters tend to start warming up mid month so the 1st 3 weeks are a crap shoot.
what i did notice was that KC was a short favorite at home last nite against ny.
the last time kc was favored over ny john mayberry was playing 1st base for them and willie wilson centerfield.
its not that the public thinks kc is all that,hardly,the reason that ny was a short dog is that the public has no confidence in them against the worst franchise in sports not called the clippers.

Its' a shame about the Yanks offensive start. Didn't ARod have 22 Hrs this time last year? Did he go off the 'roids, perhaps?

[redsoxrules]

well the sox arent that much better at this point , they have 30 , with an average of 3.33 per game

[One Red Seat]

I'm well aware of the Sox' struggles. I just didn't see anyone proclaiming their awesomeness going into the season. For a couple of years running, there have been "Thousand Run Offense" predictions from some Yankee fans. The table is a play on that.

[ARod2212]

Jesus Christ. It's a 162 game season. Be happy the pitching has been good. The offense will come. Just like it always does.

How about Papi? He finally decide to stop shooting that HGH?

Yeah, he was taking HGH to get bigger and fatter or to physically recover from his 4 ABs. He'll be bitch-slapping Yankee pitchers when the weather gets warm

I dont think 26-6 was serious. Im pretty sure he was referring to the stupidity of implying that A-Rod used steroids.

Has Canseco been wrong yet?

[26 to 6]

Have we heard everything Canseco had to say about it? Shut the fuck up...until their is more evidence it isn't fair to single out A-Rod when Papi probably used too. I only say that since you guys are being ridiculously stupid and throwing these A-Rod things out there.

I've met people who sell crack and shit, wouldn't call them friends or anything, but I've met them here and there. Does that mean I use crack because whoever I was with revealed that he introducedme to them? And whether he did or didn't, he isn't now and is still in his prime. So just all of you do all of us a favor and stuff something in your mouth.

Honestly, what I think is that Canseco noticed that people were paying less and less attention to him, and since he wanted that attention for his new book, Vindicated: Tales of a Whiny Attention Whore, he figured, 'gosh, I should probably make some kind of vague, unsubstantiated comment about steroids relating to a player that is so naturally talented that no one would ever have expected it...I got it! Alex Rodriguez!

I find it hard to believe it's coincidence that his little story about A-Rod happened to come out about the same time as his book. Bet that's reflected in sales.

Not to mention the personal vendetta Canseco has towards A-Rod. Win-win in so many ways for Canseco. Gets attention for his book, and gets to shit on A-Rod all at the same time!
