And sunday nights, there is typically just the one game on,and invariably, it's the sox and yankees.are forced to watch yet another Red Sox-Yankee 'showdown' on Sunday night
Ok dopey I'll bite did you say those things or not?
Sunday night baseball is a good relaxing way to cap off the weekend...and invariably, it's the sox and yankees.
I know its tough for those of you so fixated on the yankees, but those of us outside that tiny little geographical area of the world would like to see some variety. >>
Please show me where I said it's ALWAYS the yankees and sox.
I said invariably, which is a far cry from ALWAYS. I am sorry you failed basic reading comprehension in grade school (or you have gotten to that stuff in your remedial schooling).
If I wanted to say those teams are ALWAYS on, then I would have SAID always, you buffoon.
And if you have a satellite dish, I think you can buy the games for all the teams for the entire summer? If you did that then you wouldnt be "forced" to watch those games....OR even better yet, don't watch those games!
And why do they play so many of those games? RATINGS! FANS! LOTS AND LOTS OF FANS!
No you did not say always but you implied that you are forced to watch yanks and sox on sundays! on sunday nites. then u say only they play on sunday nites yes i read you clearly

"INVARIABLY" and "ALWAYS" are synonymous with eachother..
This just goes to show how Axholes childish, feeble mind works. How many times does this have to be done? I guess as many times for as many personalities that he has.
Seemingly always, the red sox and yankees are on sunday nights.
lol now it is seemingly always! hey dopey go and look at a schedule. if they play the sox 19 times during the yr, how many can possibly be on sundsay nites? 3 ior 4 at most????
jeese you dig yourself deeper and deeper with every mutterence.
Well pardon me for using the incorrect word.
No you used the correct word. You just did not know what it meant.

Alrighty, here is the New York Yankee vs. Boston Red Sox schedule for Sundays this year.
Sunday August 20 2:05 PM Sunday September 17 TBD
There you have it. A chance for ONE (thats right ONE) Yankee / Red Sox game being FORCED down the throats of America. Is it not just utterly obvious how fixated Axtell is on the Yankees? This is how he spins every other anti Yankee arguement. He takes one small parcel and blows it up into a national outcry of how the Yankees just get too much attention by the media and even aliens I am sure.
<< <i>First let me say again that I'm a Blue Jays fan, so don't get mad at the Yankees fans for this. But I'm starting to think that Jason Varitek is the most overrated player in baseball.

I guess my argument is that if Jeter is overrated and we always hear about Jeter's "intangibles", at least Jeter is putting up Hall of Fame stats. Varitek, on the other hand, I've never heard so much about a guy whose stats seem just a little above average.
Am I missing something about this guy? >>
Great point writer. I am not going to bash varitek as he is a very good catcher. The hypocracy of the Jeter bashers is quite glaring. Jeter puts up the numbers AND has many of the so called "intangibles" that Varitek has. The difference is that Jeter is a NY Yankee and with that comes the venom. Jorge Posada has comparable if not better numbers than Varitek has. Plus Posada has 3 World Series rings in which he was the catcher in charge of championship pitching staffs. I think that is even a better arguement against Varitek.
Jeter gets bashed because he is a NY Yankee even though he IS putting up Hall of Fame numbers that go along WITH his intanginles. Jason Varitek flys under the radar and is considered so important to the Red Sox even though his numbers and World Series rings are eclipsed by Jorge Posada. Yet he is the captain and leader of the Red Sox and so revered by Sox fans. Not that he shouldn't be. I bet the very thought of the BIG EARED Posada being better would bring out a backlash rivaled only by Jeter supporting Yankee fans.
The BIGGEST difference in all of this is that you won't find many Yankee fans endlessly searching and searching for material to use against Varitek. We don't care, we only care about our Yankees.

Yikes - Posada is "better" than Varitek? Varitek is revered in Boston, and he should be, for a number of reasons. Catchers are responsible for a lot of things that don't show up on a stat sheet (like handling pitchers properly and calling games) and Varitek is hands down the best at this in baseball. As team captain, he definitely leads by example - even while the 2004 team was referred to as "idiots", they followed his take no sh*t attitude on the field (remember the first time he met A-Rod on the field?) - one could argue he was one of the most important pieces of that championship team. And, his stats are always at or near the top for catchers as well.
Posada is a good catcher as well, he had many strong offensive years in NY. But, defensively - and when it comes to pitchers throwing to him, I don't think he's regarded that highly around the league. Even Randy Johnson has a problem with him catching his games.
Funny how Varitek can be praised for his intangibles but when someone says what intangibles that Jeter brings, everyone is in an uproar and is over rated because of this. Same goes for wearing the "C".
Posada carries plenty of his own clout and has the respect of his fellow Yankees. CT, do you have any idea WHY Johnson and Posada have had their problems? They are both proven, headstrong players who want to call the game their way. Thats all it is...not because Randy Johnson doesnt respect Posada or vice versa.
I'll give you what Varitek did with ARod it lit a fire under the Red Sox...but being revered isnt the same as production on the field. And I don't mean to sound like I am taking away from what Varitek does...he's awesome...but if I were faced with a choice between Varitek and Posada, I think I would go with Posada...and not just because I am a Yankees fan.
Ivan Rodriguez is still the king of all catchers in the baseball world!!!!
I have to edit this in..............I am sorry, I forgot, Posada is a Yankee, therefore, he is a HOFer, and since he is, Pudge no longer has HOF qualifications, because he is a Tiger!!!
I am a big Jorge fan, but I have to agree with CT. Varitek brings more to the table than Posada. I certainly am one to talk about intangibles, and in as much as Jeter brings stuff to the table other than the numbers, Varitek certainly does so for the Sox. Catching is the most important position on the field, and Varitek does so much for that team as far as leadership and calling a great game. Posada brings hitting to the table, but is nowhere near the defensive player Jason is, nor does he handle a staff the way Varitek does.
"The other teams could make trouble for us if they win." -- Yogi Berra
With more thought, I was putting Jeter into the picture with the intangibles that Varitek brings. I still say its a tough call..I just think that if Jeter wasnt there, Posada could be a guy who could step on in that role. Tough call IMO
I think this much is clear - Posada is a better hitter, and Varitek is a better receiver and leader. Posada has had the protection of a strong lineup for much of his career, you have to wonder how much of an impact that has had on his offensive numbers. Still, it's pretty rare to see catchers in this day and age going on 10 year careers with the durability they both have shown.
I completely agree with that statement CT. Posada has had better protection through I would say the second half of his career. But if I were to take ANY catcher in this league, it would be Ivan Rodriguez. Offense, defense, that man does it all! And he is on what? His 15th or 16th season? I remember when he came up he was compared to Bench...comparison was right on but I think Pudge is the better one of even the great Johnny Bench. Again, IMO
<< <i>Ivan Rodriguez is still the king of all catchers in the baseball world!!!!

No, Posada is not a hall of famer. Nobody claimed he was. Of course you have to throw it out there though ! And BTW, Pudge is hands down the greatest catcher I have ever had the pleasure of watching. I would have been glad to take him on my team any day.
"The other teams could make trouble for us if they win." -- Yogi Berra
Pudge would be #2 on the list of catchers of this generation for me...Piazza would be #1. I couldn't care less if my grandma could steal on him, his offensive numbers more than make up for it.

As far as Defense goes, they are quite equal..I guess the best measure would be their fielding %? Posada .992 and Varitek .993 career.
Don't get me wrong...I like the way Varitek plays. But with similar defensive stats, I'll take Posada because of his hitting.
I still say its a tough call..I just think that if Jeter wasnt there, Posada could be a guy who could step on in that role.
