Re: 2008 Yankee News & Notes Thread
Yankee fans are seriously considering the merit of "rubber-armed" David Wells. OMG!! His arm is shot. All that is left is a rubber belly. Yankee fans are so desperate and it's still not the middle of May. lol!!!

What post-season series have we choked away in recent memory or that you have ever witnessed?

Re: 2008 Yankee News & Notes Thread
David Wells? Eh... 
Something being lost in all this talk about starting pitching and hitting is our guy at the end of the bullpen: Mo. He's the one person who got a big contract over the offseason who's contributing right now. Definitely one of the better starts to a season for him.
9/9 SV/SVO, 14.0 IP, 5 H, 12 K, 0 BB, 0.00 ERA

Re: 2008 Yankee News & Notes Thread
Albaladejo, after leaving the game tonight with an elbow injury, is headed to the 15 day DL. Bah...it's becoming clear smoking a pack a day is healthier for a person than pitching or playing for the Yankees.

Can you be considered to have choked in a series when you came back from being down 2 games to 1 and 3 games to 2? But I will not argue the point although I disagree. That's one series. You guys have regularly been choking yourself out of the first round against inferior teams. 2007 Indians, 2006Tigers, 2005 Angels. And the whole choke pattern was at its pinnacle in 2004 when you set the choke record.

2003. 2005 against the White Sox..well I guess that wasn't much of a choke..they just flat out beat you. Remember that ball through Graffanino's legs? I do lol

Dude, that was the story of your team for damn near a century.

Re: 2008 Yankee News & Notes Thread
Also, Sean Henn was claimed off of waivers by the Padres. He'll be joining the team today. Best of luck to him.

I wonder what kind of weight clause they will have to put in for Wells. |

I watched the Red Sox for twice as long as you have been alive. The story of those Red Sox teams was poor pitching, bad fielding and no speed. They rarely made it to October, nevermind choke. When they made it to October every 1 or 2 decades they were always the underdog--- usually big underdogs. It's hard to choke when you are the underdog. The Yankees of the 21st century have made choking in October an annual event. In the list of choking Yankee teams, I left off the 2002 team. They were big favorites in 2002 against the Angels, but I didn't count that one because the Angels went on to win the World Series, and let's not forget the 7th game bottom of the 9th inning choke to the Diamondbacks.

2001 - The DBacks flat out beat you (or would have smoked you if not for BH Kim)
2002 - The Angels flat out beat you
2003 - The Marlins (!!!) beat you
2004 - No response needed
2005 - The Angels flat out beat you
2006 - The Tigers flat out beat you
2007 - The Indians flat out beat you

2001 was one of the best World Series ever. It was close, so I wouldn't throw it in that category. The Angel did flat out beat us, the Marlins did flat out beat us..but only after we beat you  Fuck 2004, the Angels did beat us, the Tigers did beat us, and the Knats did beat us. So what's your point? At least we've been in the playoff all of the past 13 seasons (Would be 14 if not for the strike).

Let's be honest.
What do the Yankees not winning the World Series in a given year, and your posts have in common?
