yankees acquire al leiter...

[Thedatch]

where did this come from? just hear the deal was finalized... :confused:

[Yankee 21]

I believe it was an overnight deal.

OMG..this is too funny!!!

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[Chisox73]

I heard that the Yanks are only picking up $400,000 of Leiter's salary.

BTW,the Yanks announced that he will start Sunday at Boston.

[Plastic Bat]

That pethetic :ugh: :hmm: :doublefin :loser:

Your spelling is pathetic.


And no, it's not pathetic considering the injuries to our pitching staff.

[SportsChick237]

[Royce]

Redding and May are pathetic.


It's a risk, but I like it.

well yah. but leiter is washed up. and him facing the red sox? :eek:

[Rockin Robin]

Steinbrenner is desperate for pitching, so he's grasping at straws. I was one of the biggest fans of Leiter for many years, but I felt he should have hung it up after last year. The Marlins apparently agreed after a while.

But he'll end his career (hopefully!) with the team he started with. He'll finish up with Kevin Brown, with whom he was teammates on the 1997 World Champion Marlins. And most of all, he'll be back in New York, which is a huge thing.

[I Are Baboon]

I'm very pleased to hear Al Leiter is pitching tonight. :)

[Royce]

Me too.

At this point the Yankees didn't have much options for pitchers.

Hopefully next year they get a couple younger aces in the offseason.

Enough of the declining 40 year olds. :tongue:

He doesn't look that bad so far. After 2 innings anyway :)

[Vivid]

After four innings he looks awesome :)

[Baseball Guru]

He's pitching damn good..

Breaks my heart to see him in a Yankees jersey:(

[Kiwideus]

Its quite nice to see Leiter pitch well against the Red Sox. :wave1:

Looks like Leiter pitches better when he's in NY :D

[Vivid]

That was a close one in the bottom of the 9th :whew:

[Royce]

LEITER IS AMAZING


AND he was getting squeezed ALL game.

[Yankee 21]

He pitched great..let's hope he can keep it up!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Eva]

I'm at shocked at what happen. One the best offense in MLB could not hit Leiter. I'm just at shocked at what happen in last night game. Sox shut down completely by Leiter. Mussina and Johnson didn't shut down the Sox, but Leiter?!

Why was Bellhorn removed from the game in the 8th? Hey, at least he would have striked out in the 9th and there would have been 1 out, instead of Cora grounding into the double play, which killed the rally.

haha, that's probably true...i hoped francona would hit someone for bellhorn but Cora? we have better hitters in our dugout don't we?

Foot, meet mouth.

Hey, at least I was correct when I said the Yanks would take three of four.

me too..should have took Jac up on that sig bet!!!

[Royce]

me too..should have took Jac up on that sig bet!!!

I did..

Give me an idea!

[Yankee 21]

Hmmm...I won one of these before..lets see

I love Arod and want to have his baby
I love the Yankees, they are the best team that is, was and will ever be
Ok..there was no curse, the Red Soxs just Sucked for the last 85 years



Like any of those royce?

[Royce]

Like any of those royce?


:thumbsup:

I like the first one and the last one.

[BayStateBabe]

LEITER IS AMAZING



Don't get used to it. Wait till he goes 3 - 2 on every batter and has 120 pitches by the 4th inning.

[Yankee 21]

Yeah, well I think being home might just rejuvinize him...didn't see anything wrong with him yesterday...might just have woken him up and he's ready to do some serious ass kicking now!

[SportsChick237]

I would like to revoke my previous statement and just say that i was wrong, and well I hope he keeps it up.

[Vivid]

LEITER SUCKS AGAIN! :bonehead

[BayStateBabe]

LEITER SUCKS AGAIN! :bonehead
Again?

I tried to tell you all the other day. The Al Leiter that pitched against Boston was an aberration. The Al Leiter that pitched against the Angels is the REAL Al Leiter.

Happy for him he's back in NY. Happy for me it's in the Bronx and not Queens.

[crazydude1017]

I truly think thats a good move 4 the yankees :banana:

[milky_way]

This was an obvious pickup. The bar is set extremely low, so any 5-inning, 4-run outing he gives us will be better than the 3-inning, 7-run outing that we'd get from Redding or May.

And plus, Al Leiter is cool :D
