As a true blue goiant fan, I think we have seen the best of Eli Manning (I hope this statement is not true). Why the giants lost this game is that Manning fell under pressure. He has thrown three times more interceptions then touchdowns in pressure situtations. He has not showen yet that he can come back in the 4th quarter yet. i hope he improves but I dont see it.

First of all this has nothing to do with Posada and Rivera, Second as a Yankee you here to win the world series that is known by everyone that is your only goal. So it does not matter what you do during the season you are judged by what you do in the playoffs and the series. What the issue is with A-Rod leaving is all about the money. He and Boras understand that with the season he had he could get bookoo money from someone else. ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY and nothing else he did not speak to Posada nor did he speak to Rivera, He does not care about them two. It does not matter where he goes as long as he gets the money. As far as Jeter picking up the slack you can not ask for anything more from him, he has given his blood to the yankees, one bad playoff is ok for him. Now for Damon he is anither bum that should be traded. Oh a message for you A-Rod as you leave, dont let the door hit you where the good lord split yea. OH YEA hey A-Rod what have you done for us lately. Welcome to NY Mike Lowell

I cant wait until A-Rod comes back to the Stadium with his new team and the crowd starts to chant OVER RATED

Rockies stem roll Sox in 4

Just reading the article lets look at some basic information, hr between 150-200. SOunds like there quoting two or three different times vitals were taken. I am guessing here that 200 was at the first set, let say 150 around the second or third set of vitals, if this is the case looks like to me the pt is starting to stablize why not give it to BLS. I would like to think any Medic out there would ride the call in if the vitals were reversed such as first set 150 then second set 200.

Some great sport photos. Make sure you check out number 12 pic ..........ouch http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedi.../content.1.html

Baseball in November? Keep in mind some of theses states and countries have some major snow fall in November, maybe the championship game ina neutral site like the super bowl does. Or shorten preseason by a few weeks.

know they were hiring off it for for B&T dont remeber if it was for MTA also, check the city web site they ususally have an archive section.

It was held just before summer started, you got 4 more years or so now.

Yes yes you are rght but what has your team done lately?

Just a reminder from a post I did in 2006, keeping in mind these stats are not updated fr this year and does not include last years allstar game. 26 World Championships, 39 Pennents, 16 players with retired numbers, 20 MVP winners, 5 Cy Young award winners, 11 World Series MVPs, 7 ALCS MVPs 8 Relief Man Award winners, 54 Golden Gloves, 8 Rookie of the Year winners, and an amazing 339 total All Star Game apperences. 34 Hall of Famers have played for the Yankees, 9 Hall of Fame Mangers of manged the Yankees.I dont think we have to be nervous for a while. OH did i mention this was all done within 103 years? LETS GO YANKEES!!!!!!!! WOW that's almost 25% of the time the Yankees have won the Series, thats about 45% of the time we won the Pennent. There is one thing that I agree with the Yankees are not the best team in baseball, They simple the best team in any sport.
