FanShot Quotes

Funny quotes from ignorant fans of other message boards. The guy wants us all to throw out stats like FIP, WHIP, ERA+, and WAR, and award the Cy Young entirely on ERA and winning percentage.

""CY YOUNG"....WINningest P ever!.....Why is it called "CY YOUNG" award, if W's don't matter? I don't think Wins are over-rated. I think it should be all about winning % and ERA. F- whip and all this new-age-stat-crap! If you have a great winning % and low ERA, nothing else matters. 17-4 and 2.48??or whatever it was should have won it for Carp....Wainwright had a 6-0 lead in the 8th inning and the bullpen blew his 20th W, he should have been 2nd at 19-8 and 2.61?? and Lincecum 3rd, 15-8, sheesh! Them 2 idiots should be stripped of their votes..."

MOMENT PAST
Just saw Joe Nathan walking down 49th Street. It took me a minute to figure out why he looked familiar. Missed opportunity for some trash talk.

Anybody else seen this guy face to face? He is a BIG friggin' dude.

Jeter leaves without talking to the media. That's *extremely* rare for him.

Tyler Kepner tweet after last night's game.

That is strange for Jeet. And haven't seen much about it elsewhere.

"I like what I see, just when you talk to him," Andy Pettitte said in May. "The look in his eyes is very confident. If he's confident in what he's doing, no matter how much experience I have out there or any of these other guys, it helps you. It's what you want to do. I'll ask his advice."- Andy Pettitte on Francisco Cervelli

Being the shortstop of the Red Sox is like being one of the security officers beaming down to the planet with Captain Kirk. You’re only going to be around for so long.

Peter Abraham of the LoHud Yankees Blog quips after reporting the Red Sox have acquired Alex Gonzalez. And in this earlier post, he compares Derek Jeter's understudies at shortstop since 1996 to the revolving door at that position in Boston over the same time period.

We'r No. 1! We'r No. 1! Let's enjoy it.

Thank you Alex for growing up and thank you Joe for becoming intelligent.

Yeah, it feels great that there's nobody in front of us but it doesn't mean anything at this point in the year," Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter said.

I was just baffled by the explanation. I was told I was out because the ball beat me, and he didn't have to tag me. I was unaware they had changed the rules.

Derek Jeter on today's first inning blown call. If that's really what the ump said, he should fired (or at least suspended).

- Comments from crew chief John Hirschbeck regarding the poor calls. He basically admits they screwed up.

Who knows man, there’s nothing you can do. There’s stupid people all over the place.

Random Yankee fan on the CBS NY News at 6, when asked "Why are people booing Alex Rodriguez?"

The new Yankee Stadium will sound much different than the old one. Bob Sheppard, the public address announcer for the Yankees since 1951, has retired.
