Yes,I understand this is against the regulations, however, I will gladly accept any punishment handed down to me first starting this. Well worthwhile!!
As long as you refrain from braggadocious claims about sexual prowess, you should be good. . . . .plus, nobody can top al in that area, except for this guy.

Yankees payroll nearly double Tampa Bay payroll. Shove your NIL ******** right up your stupid ***.


COACHING MATTERS!!!!

…. yes, I know Aaron Judge didn’t play, doesn’t matter.
Coaching matters? In some sports, but not so much in baseball. Look at Joe Torre's career. A terrible manager (Mets), a middling manager (Braves), then worse than middling (Cards), suddenly the best you've ever seen (Yankees), and then up and down (Dodgers). Remember what a great pitching coach Leo Mazzone was until he no longer had the Braves staff in Baltimore. The Rays have been as good as they've been because of the front office. Maybe football is different, but baseball is not a good comparison.

Casey Stengel is a great example too. Yanks vs Mets records

Lol this man is trolling us all to the point that the board has "ADS" Al derangement syndrome. With every post he just makes you angrier and angrier. Maybe we can take lessons from this and learn how to deal with this type of juvenile troll behavior throughout society. Stop giving them the attention they want but we can't help even though we know what he's saying makes zero sense 🙃

judge is not good in the playoffs either

Boone sucks, hated the hire and we're 1yr away from the longest drought in Yankees history of no WS show. If Steinbrenner were here, Boone would be gone long ago!

It befuddles me that people get upset at Al. He's going to be positive. He will always be positive. Team stinks, positive. Team wins, positive. Team craters below the earth's surface, positive. It's actually fun, from my point of view, to watch him come up with detailed arguments on why things look positive. It is a schtick and it's not a schtick at the same time. But it's so outlandishly positive that it defies criticism. It adds personality to a board that is sadly lacking personality these days. I don't read Al's stuff a lot, but I do sometimes. Either way, I'm glad he's here.

4 of the final 8 teams in the playoffs would not meet the minimum base payroll that is going to be one of the big sticking points going into negotiations.

Amazing over 162 games that teams like Cle, Mil, Chi are in the final 8. Who is the 4th, SD?

It’s not optimism that’s appalling, it’s the endless list of excuses which blame everyone and everything but the fraud, salary-stealing coach. And the embarrassing and obviously false macho boasts further cement his pathetic reality.

Positive?
About what?

@rutgersal_rivals139582 is one of the most negative posters on this board about Rutgers football.
If you only read his posts, you'd think we were a team of FCS level players trying to compete against Big Ten level players.
He repeatedly refers to the players as "bargain bin" level.
Rutgers is "scrapping the bargain bin" for players according to him.
Not very positive to me.

Yes, Coaching matters and Schiano has repeatedly made a silk purse from a sow’s ear. Schiano is the only thing between us and the abyss.

Again, which son are you? Seriously though I appreciate Greg for everything he did here the first and second time around. He’s just not the man to take this program any further and it’s obvious to prettt much everyone. We’re in a much better place than we were when we had to hire Ash so I, like most out here, are 100% confident that the current leadership can find the right man to get the job done.

Yeah, I believe that is a short sighted pipe dream. Schiano is it.

Mark my words, RU can from time to time have a winning season and a bowl. We just can’t afford more than that. $$$$$$

Really? Ask Iowa. They win a ton almost every year and have less money than RU
