    Quit trolling. You enter a discussion and start accusing people of hating on the Yankeees. Sounds like trolling to me.

    I don't have to troll anyone who has yet to make a valid point in his argument on Pujols signing with the Yanks (or Fielder for that matter). But I can start trolling if you really would like me to

    See above.
    Nobody was even saying anything negative about the Yankees. It's always funny he always accuses everyone of crying or getting panties in wad, when he is the one doing it.

    well guys, Yankees just signed Marcus Thames....so maybe he will just keep Albert's seat warm in New York until he reaches free agency.

    You say, without any reason, excuse, or base whatsoever that the Yanks will sign Pujols or Fielder. You are given numerous sound, succinct reasons why neither will happen. You ignore common sense b/c, as you say, the Yanks have a large payroll (which somehow validates your statement ). If I was wrong about you complaining about the Yanks & their spending, then sorry, but as a small market fan I've found that people who whine about the Yanks spending on big name free agents aren't typically doing so out of respect for them & appreciation of their wanting to win games, but out of jealousy because their team is unable to do the same. Now maybe I'm wrong about your hate of the Yankees and you're simply too ignorant to realize why having Tex, Montero & Pujols or Fielder in a platoon at 1B & DH doesn't make sense. If that's the case, then I simply can't help you.

    Maybe Michelle is just sore that Sabathia took the Yankees offer over the Brewers offer

    This is what I'm talking about. You jump into a discussion, for some reason accuse me of, whining, crying, etc about the Yankees then call me ignorant for having a different opinion. When all I said was that the Yankees would sign Pujols or Fielder. Yeah the Yankees spending big money on FA's thats absurd. First off I seem to remember the Yankees trading for a certain star SS when they already had a star SS. So it's not out of the question they would do something like that again. Second why are guys talking about Jesus Montero like he is Babe Ruth??. He has played how many games in MLB?? HGM makes a good case why the Yankees won't sign Pujols or Fielder and why it would be stupid to that. He does it without insulting or toliing anyone. I still would not be surprised if they signed Fielder at DH. Either way it is only speculation. I wasn't raised to insult people and accuse them of crying or call them ignorant because I disagree with opinion. You obviously have a personal issue with me since you seem to enjoy trolling whenever I post something you disagree with.
