THEE NYG SWAG THREAD

[Moke]

It's crazy. A lot of the damage is at the beaches obviously. My co-worker said his whole house is destroyed. No contact from him lately. But I'm hearing he's OK.

[JPizzack]

Yea, i'm just now hearing that because of issues at the ports, that gas isn't being delivered to alot of other areas. I had no idea the overall supply was being affected.

I'm going to have to fill up again, because they are saying by Sunday, we might be out up here in PK too. Westchester is already forming the mile long lines as of yesterday.

Someone tell me why in the hell they are still running the NYC Marathon.

to take people's mind off things? idk....im against the people who are literally protesting it. You know people have to qualify for the NYC marathon, right? It's an honor to be in. I wouldn't take it away from them.

And because NY doesn't quit.

Its taking away from the relief efforts. Do you realize how much police and other services that are required for an undertaking that large? It could be postponed for a week or two.
Either way, it doesn't have anything to do with quitting. Its going to start in Staten Island where there is little or no power. To me, its poorly placed priorities.

I think our emergency personal have better things to do right now honestly...but whatever not my call.

I don't know....I dont think I can agree. You can't just cancel everything because it interferes with the relief effort. People need to know that things will get back to normal.

From the other perspective, I could kind of see how people might think we're ignoring the problems.....but..... that's just not what's happening.

[JPizzack]

To be clear:
I see it from both sides. In fact, if it was rescheduled a month away from now, I wouldn't have even paid attention to it.

But since it's stirring up alot of controversy, I'd play devil's advocate.

It kind of is what's happening, we really need to get back to normalcy before hosting any "events"

[JPizzack]

I dont know if anyone checks here on the weeknd. But i was seeing if anyone was going to the game tmrw. My cousin called me, he got stuck in RI where he goes to school, and my uncle has tickets, so I might roll out with him.

good thing global warming doesn't exist - or else this storm might of gotten out of hand

and on another note of self destruction:

Just so you know Matt....while the Atlantic is warmer than usual right now, the Pacific is cooler than normal.
The notion that "global warming" caused the storm is leftist hysteria.

[Moke]

There has been a huge change in the climate though. You have to admit....

Yes, but as far as I know, these are the deals that HAVE to get sent to players, to ensure that if the players sign elsewhere, the yankees get compensated with draft picks.
Swisher, Soriano, and Kuroda were all given these deals. Only Kuroda will likely sign, since it's actually a deal for him. Swisher won't sign, he cant. he wants more than 1 year, and im sure he thinks he's worth more. i'd like to think the yanks consider him gone ( i know I'd like him to be).

We need Soriano. If'were spending $ this year, part of it has to be on him. Mo is hinting at retirement, and I dont trust anyone else to step in as closer but Soriano.
