Gammons also praised the FO for Dotel, and believes he will make a huge impact.

how come when he says something anti-yankees, we call him a jerk, but when he predicts them to win the world series, he is the greatest prophet since Jesus. haha.

In other words, we won't win the World Series. So much for 2006--it was fun while it lasted.
Wacky Gammo trying a little of the ole reverse mojo.

Now we have to start a reverse the gerbil campaign......seriously, maybe the sox asked him to do that to take the preasure off Theo & gang....that was a joke
Gammons could come directly to my house, cook dinner for me, praise my entire family, and clean the soles of my shoe with his tongue, I would still be inclined to take said shoe and force feed it to him.

The only person in the media whose opinion I care less about than Gammons' is Lupica.

That means the Yankees are not going to win the World Series since Pete is always wrong. :mad:

Not so fast...the Yankees DO have a chance to win the WS, wouldn't you say?

Damn straight. He's still a moron.

Dan Shaughnessy picked the Yanks to finnish in third for what its worth, and has the Red Sox losing to the Mets in the series

same guy who said boston was a lock for the east midway through last season? i dont know about any of you, but i cant take that guy seriously when i see him. His clownish predictions only intensify his clownish appearance.
Gammons also praised the FO for Dotel, and believes he will make a huge impact.
Me too, Im just not sold on Farnsworth or Sturtze being the setup guys.

I liked Gammons (although I don't subscribe to ESPN insider..I am not paying for that network). He certainly is a Red Sox fan but he is fair to the Yankees 95% of the time (why ahead of Lupica's record of being fair .0005% of the time). His trade predictions never come off but I value his judgment.
Francesa had an interesting comment to Gammons' prediction of a Yankee vs Cards world Series. He said "greatest world series I saw as a kid. I have waited 42 years to see a rematch". I am probabbly guilty of thinking a season I saw as a 10 year kid the greatest ever but 1964 should be mentioned. Great pennant race in AL (people forget that), the NL pennant race became legendary with about 5 games left with the historic collapse by Philadelphia. A 7 game world series with some "what-if" turning points, Mantle breaking Ruth's record, the emergence of Gibson. Only a classic game 7 was missing as Stottlemyre and Downing didn't have it. A bunch of great rookie seasons by no one who became a Hall of Famer (Richie Allen, Tony Oliva, Wally Bunker, Jim Ray Hart).

My whole Yankee fan foundation has been shaken to the core! Shaughnessy is his own credible source, which is to say not that credible, but Gammons....he's tricking us I know it.

OT, but I absolutely LOVE your avatar and headline. Heh.
As for Gammons, he is a very overrated journalist and what he says means squat to me. This whole thread is hilarious. Especially the post about him coming over to the house. :lol:

I am sure he is going to change his mind.

I just listened to the audio link on the wfan and I couldn't believe it...His basis for this is he believes the yankee offense will win playoff games and pitching won't be as important as it usually is in this year's playoffs.
I still hate him
Well, whatya know....
He's right, of course....
My theory--even he realizes how much of a favorite we are, and realizes picking against us will make him look even more like a Sox shill (pardon the pun :D) than he does already.
Or, I guess, he really believed what he said before, and does so now. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

I'm curious, which comments preceding yours in this thread made him out to be some great prophet?
Has *ANYONE* here said that Gammons is even the next great thing since the wheel or sliced bread? Much less this "we" thing?

He was just looking for material to lable Yankee fans as hypocrites, too bad he didn't find any.
