Let's give it up for our streaking DH/OF who seems to be enjoying a nice resurgence. If Bernie can keep this up, teams are in deeeeeeeep trouble. Strength at the bottom of the lineup is dangerous.
Bern Baby Bern!!!!

Bernie Williams is leading the league in gratuitous applause.
the fans need someone to shower with needless applause since martinez retired..Originally Posted by yanksrule51

Good for Bernie. I suspected that he would improve when he didn't have to play CF and believe that he's nowhere near as bad as his 2005 numbers.
That said, I still have my concerns. But, to this point, Bernie is proving me wrong and I love it.
I have no association with "TEPLimey" at nomaas. Apparently a very disturbed individual likes to get their rocks off on pretending they are me. Sad, really.
I have to be honest, while i think he's earned it, he's not really my type. I don't swing that way..
He's bringing that momentum over from the WBC. Go Bernie!

His OPS is still pretty low despite the boost in batting average.
Over/under on Bernie's OPS at .750?

Go Bernie!
To seek the sacred river Alph, To walk the caves of ice
To break my fast on honey dew, And drink the milk of paradise
I'm a little biased cuz bernie has been my favorite player for more than a decade now, but seeing him doing well after having the media and fans ................ on him is very pleasing.
My opinion is that we don't need another masher on the team, we need a guy who gets on, and then sets up the big boppers. Damon is that guy at the top of the order. I hope bernie is that man at the bottom. It's like a double threat when it rotates back to damonNot that I wouldn't prefer a higher .OPS and all, but, if he's gonna get singles/walks/outs that move a guy over, and therefore helping the OPS of our bigger bats, then he's an asset no matter how you look at!
Just no more nights of 3 K's looking, Bernie, that was awful. Maybe he needs his goggles back
(Disclaimer: This post not subject to the irony of statements like 'Be careful what you wish for'. I will not be bitten in the ass without prior written consent)
Definately enjoying his good start...lets hope Bernie keeps it up and puts together one more solid year in pinstripes
"Everything looks nicer when you win. The girls are prettier. The cigars taste better. The trees are greener." - Billy Martin
He's been pretty good so far, but has shown no power yet. If he only played vs. rightys, his numbers will improve overall.
“I mean, people knew that Brown was out there, and that Randy was ornery all the time. And Pavano is whoever he is. But if you’re their manager, you can’t go out and write about them like that.”
agreed!
"And I wonder, when I sing along with you. If everything
could ever feel this real forever. If anything could ever be this good again."
I still think he's done.
Nothing to say
We just need to support him all the way through...
Bern... Baby... Bern...
Let's go for #28! A-Rod for 2010 AL MVP!
No one will match that. Seriously, it was like Jesus, Moses and Muhammed were all coming up to bat together. I don't think we'll hear anything like that in the stadium again until Mo's final game.
I love Bernie, and I love that his BA is high, but his OBP and his SLG don't justify giving him a lot of DH at bats. He's a champion, a man with a deep inner fire, a guy who had a really good run.
It's time to retire my sig: "Bernie Williams would like to dispute this thread with tonight's record breaking, division clinching, game winning, walk off homer" -- StupidFlanders
Still, Bernie gets lots of love from me. He'll always be one of my favorite players, and I hope he just gets one more streak like Tino's 10-gamer from last year.
He's probably the best overall player in the league right now...
Calmer than you are.
enough with the bernie love, jeezus.. you all are going to make me hate the guy by the end of year :/
Enough of the bernie hating, Jezus! You all are going to make me hate you by the end of the year :/
(i'm not stricly talking to you)
I don't hate Bernie. It's just that it's getting out of hand. He doesn't need an applause everytime he gets up to bat. We don't need people rubbing it in other peoples face when he strikes out with the bases loaded. Or gets a grand slam.
(Bernie is one of my favorite Yankees, which is why I wish he wasn't re-signed last year)
What's so odd about this is that Bernie traditionally started every single seaon in TERRIBLE slumps.
I don't know what's going on, but I'll take it.

Eh, Gratuitous applause doesn't bother me the way it seems to bother some people. It's just applause.
Give me
Your Bernie love
Just like your mama
Make her fuzzy poodle do
Give me
Your Bernie love
The way your mama
Make that nasty poodle chew
I’ll ignore your cheap aroma
And your little-bo-peep diploma
I’ll just put you in a coma
With some Bernie love
The poodle bites!

In every way possible, I feel exactly the same. I'd be as happy as a pig in crap if no one mentioned him again until the end of the year
Here's to Bernie having a bit of a hot streak going on. Hopefully when he cools down and is finally benched he'll still produce when called on.
What a bargain for the Yankees to be able to sign BW for another year, marking his 16th.
Looking forward to him adding to his ML leading Post Season stats in HR, RBI, and RS.
Please retire.
Nothing to say
amen. this is what baseball is, a day to do thing. may love him one day, may hate him the next day. now i hate him. and people will hear about it and better not complain because when he did something good, you guys were all over him. Now we are.
I love Bernie, but I don't think a hitter who has zero power should be our DH.
The problem could be that he will cool down and WON'T be benched....Joe loves him.Here's to Bernie having a bit of a hot streak going on. Hopefully when he cools down and is finally benched he'll still produce when called on.
Thankfully for Bernie, Phillips will be facing the best lefty in the game tomorrow, and put Phillips back on the bench for another century
Im more mad at Torre for letting him hit in that sitaution than Bernie hitting into the double play. As i said in the game thread, You bunt Damon with 2 on and no out in the 4th inning Vs KC, but you don't bunt Bernie with 2 on and no out in the 8th inning down 2 with Damon and Jeter up next? Something is wrong with that picture. Damon doesn't ground into 2B plays and has a better bat than Bernie, but Bernie gets to hit and Damon doesn't.....
"Jesus Montero is a stud," one evaluator wrote in an e-mail. "One of the best young hitters I've ever seen, period."
And now a horrible read in the OF and a bad throw. Awesome
And he has no business in the field.
Torre will blame Farnsworth.
Nothing to say
yep. Bernie is never at fault.
Bernie should've retired. The Mets could have him and throw in Wright and a bag of balls as well.
There are a lot of threads on here about Bernie, but I figured I would bump this one because I like the title. Lost in all the trade AROD requests is the fact that Bernie may have played his last game.
On the postgame tonight, he said he wasn't sure what he was going to do and he was going to think about it. Bernie had always said he still wanted to play, so this seems to be a departure.
With that being said, if Bernie indeed has played his last game, I would just like to tip my cap to a class act, a wonderful person and a talented ball player. From batting titles, gold gloves and post season MVPs, Bernie has been a fixture of the Yankees for the past 15 years and I have loved watching him.
Although I know many on this forum get on him for his noodle arm and his now lacking range, I still remember him from back in the day where, yes he still had bad jumps, but he ran like a Gazelle.
So, here's to Bernie. I will be sad not to see his face in the dugout, but thanks for the memories - you have been such an important part of this team for so long.
Thank you Bernie, God Blees You.

Hopefully Bernie's career is over. It's been a great one. And Yankee fans will never forget him. But it's long overdue.
Re-Sign Bernie
I really think it would be a good idea. There were definitely be some new faces next year, and the team could use some of the Old Guard to make the transition to the next dynasty. Besides, Bernie is a great option if he's used just like he was this year, and you're also getting a great clubhouse presence. I say re-sign him.

time for some Bernie retirement
"Strickland Propene does not have a vending machine. It smells, and I thank God every day I get home that I didn't get exploded. The end."
No. Bernie is an old player whose limited skills (hitting lefthanders) are going to diminish even more next year.
Thanks for the memories Bernie.
Play your guitar. Take summers off. Enjoy life.
If I had 3 wishes... One of my wishes would be to make a select few of you Pirates Fans.
I am so glad that I'm a Yankee fan. When I look around the sports world, there's really nothing that compares. There are a lot of fans, for a lot of teams, that would like to get to where we've been these last few years. Their successful year doesn't equate to what we consider a successful year.
Over these last many years, we, as Yankee fans, have had the priviledge of watching Bernie Williams play. Sure, he was no DiMaggio. Who is? Nor was he Mickey Mantle. But he was Bernie Williams. Day in and day out, for his entire career. Quiet, unassuming, talented, classy. And, a terrific, terrific hitter.
Thanks for the ride Bernie. It was great.
"But what people tend to forget...is that being a Yankee is as much about character as it is about performance; as much about who you are as what you do."

Thanks Bernie

I wouldn't mind having Bernie back in the same limited role.
It was then I knew I'd had enough,
