    The Yanks have now won 5 straight games vs the SOx and are 8-2 in the last 10. These guys are certainly not BETTER then us image

    Also, Johnny Damon was a huge factor for us tonight. Not with the 3 run bomb but he was a thorn in the SOx ALL night.

    Very impressive win for the Yankees last night. I admire this team's fighting spirit. I like the Red Sox too, but they looked a bit worn out. I expect both to be in the playoffs, barring some unforseen meltdown.

    At this point in the season, it appears the Red Sox have a very good team, but the Yankees have the best team (with all due respect to the Angels and Indians). I think the Mets also have an outside chance if their rotation is heathy.

    But there is so much parity in baseball, when the best team wins an average of 3 out of 5, the worst team wins an average of 2 out of 5, and everybody else is in between, that anything can happen in the playoffs.

    So the key is to make the playoffs, whether wild card or not, and then get the ball to bounce your way a few games.

  • I can't for the life of me figure out why Giambi is at first today. We've got a ground ball pitcher on the mound, and Giambi is out there? Why don't they DH Giambi, sit Matsui because he's slumping so badly, and put Manciewitz at 1b?
  • Agreed. Giambi almost botched one already.

  • Well it doesn't seemed to have mattered much since the ground ball has been silent.

    Keep on dreaming? The Yankees have beaten you in the last 8 out of 11 games. I hope tomorrow makes 9 out of 12 and that the Yankees get to revenge 2004 in another chapter of the ALCS with the Red Sox.

    Uhm wouldn't the Sox having a better record than the yanks be the very epitome of being 'better'?

    I think it does...thanks for playing...goodnight!

    Sox have the best team ERA in the AL (3.87) while the yanks are a very, very mediocre 4.45. BAA against? Sox on top again with .249, yanks again a very mediocre .269. Yanks are marginally better as a hitting club. .25 better in OPS than the Sox, but when you have the AL MVP you better be tops. OBP is a dead heat .364 and .362.

    Head to head? Yanks hold a one game lead 9-8. Please knock it off with the 8 of the last 10 nonsense. The Sox have a 5.5 game lead on the yanks WHICH MEANS THEY ARE A BETTER TEAM.

  • softparadesoftparade Posts: 9,276 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Nah, thats crap ... Sox are not better. In April and May? Sure .... not now ... and even with all of the stats you just barfed out it does not take much warmth in the brain for those guys who watch these games and actually know what they are talking about to know that the Yankees match up very well with the Red Sox.

    Shearon, don't you have a minimum wage 70 hour per week job to get back to so you can support your meager existence? Yes you do, get back to it and stop using the bosses computer.

    anyway, big game today ! If the Yanks win it will be a very very good 7-2 September road trip that gives us the season series vs the Sox after the Sox started out the season 5-1 against us.

    Barfed up? Is that how you define statistics? There's no denying the FACTS. And for $200 million I'd HOPE they match up well with a team they outspend by $70 million. The fact remains: Sox are 5.5 games in front of you clowns, and the Tigers are breathing down your neck for the wild card. What will the excuses be if the yanks don't make the playoffs? God I'd love to see how fast the so-called fans scramble to get under their beds if that happens.



    << <i>Shearon, don't you have a minimum wage 70 hour per week job to get back to so you can support your meager existence? Yes you do, get back to it and stop using the bosses computer. >>



    Oh that's HILARIOUS. No wait it's not. It's lame. But then coming from a moronic ny supporter who's obviously seen too much brain damage I shouldn't expect more.


  • << <i>There's no denying the FACTS. And for $200 million I'd HOPE they match up well with a team they outspend by $70 million. >>




    FACTS? If you're going to quote "facts" at least be close to the truth. It's closer to $50 million than $70 million. Oh I know, what's $20 million between friends?





    I don't think we're too worried about Detroit. Go check our schedule after today's game. If we don't make the playoffs then we deserve every criticism there is, but we will so there won't be.
  • lets hope we get some vintage clemens tonight. Detroit is keeping the pressure on, only 2 back.
    Jeter hit a BOMB yesterday, but that was it. Hopefully he is ready to bust his slump of the past few weeks and its a sign of things to come.
  • Good win, but I could have done without the Rivera wildness image


    Clemens - 0 earned runs

    Jaba - gives up first career earned run, but gets the WIN

    Jeter - Mr. Clutch, 3 run homer with 2 out in the 8th.

  • It was a nail biter. Mo didn't have his great stuff but good enough to get the job down. Joba was bound to give up his first run sooner or later. Lowell is having a great year and is a fantastic fast ball hitter.

  • Oh, my gawd!!!! If I am not mistaken 3 games in the Loss column is the closest that the Yankees have been to the Red Sox since the 1st few weeks of April. I still think they can do it.

    2 1/2 out makes me laugh more then anything. We all had to endure the Sox fan smack from April unitl well after the all star break before they realized what was happening.

    Now, we all know the Sox are in NO DANGER of missing the playoffs so this is all about seeding right now .... and the best record in the AL gets to CHOOSE whether or not they play a 5 game series in 7 days or 8 days in the first round, plus home field, and yada yada yada. I would be shocked to learn the SOx have already folded the tent in favor of resting guys for the playoffs when sooooooo much is still in doubt.

    The biggest mistake that the haters made was that they were talking and still thinking about the first half team that had a lot of injuries. Actually, since May you have seen a healthy Yankees team. This is when they began to prove they are the best team in baseball. I have no guess on if they Yanks will actually come and take the AL East but this team has battled and battled and battled. And its all these young guys that have helped make it possible.
  • Wow the division is 2.5 games and the yankee 'fans' get loud again...place was pretty tolerable when you morons weren't here running your yaps.

    I can't wait until the world series is over, the yanks fail to capture it again, and this place gets mellow again. The giants and jets are going NOWHERE and you clowns will disappear like the front runners you really are.

    So how about you stay out of this thread and you wont have to worry about the "fans". This place was a helluva lot better than tolerable when you werent around so who's the moron?

    Your statement is a fine example of being inflammatory and the absolute vile spew you bring to this board. Once again you show how much of a loser you are.

    And yet all you can do is respond to every single message I post...who's the waste again? Oh that's right, it's you. Don't worry, in a month when the yanks go home without a title (again), you (and your yankee 'fan' friends) will crawl back under your beds and suck your thumbs until spring.

    As a diehard Pirates fan and Yankee hater (well just maybe jealous) I am actually rooting for the Yanks just because of Ax. Most of the Sox and Yanks banter on these boards is done with a wink and a smile but Ax just doesn't get it and is way too emotional in his responses. He has made it tough to hate the Yanks this year due to all his hate.

    AT least 95 % of Sox/Yankees banter is done in good taste and good fun. I like ALL of the Sox fans here.

    Pettitte goes tonight, lets run the table the rest of the season heh heh, I also agree with Mussina poster, great game last night, just what they needed (and the bullpen also), but I DO NOT trust him come crunch time at all. I'd much rather have hughes or kennedy out there if needed.

    I have not seen hide nor hair of the guy since April or early May? All you have to do is read the first parts of this thread to see what my sig is talking about. I have no doubt he was a good guy but MY GOD was he clueless about how long of a season baseball really is. Thus, I am sure he is very young and just does not know .... very young and Derek Jeter and crew has been around his whole baseball watching life .... very young and thought that the April Yankees and that awful start at that time were what they would be fielding come September.

  • Yanks showed a ton of spunk tonight, but they just couldn't finish off the Jays. After that 4 run 9th inning rally it sure seemed like another magic moment was going to happen.
  • As predicted all quiet on the yankee front following a loss....as usual.

    No wonder no one likes you Axhole. Always trying to get an uprise. You stay here cuz you dont get mommy, daddy's, or anyone else's attention. You are a true loser.
  • Simply pointing out when my observations (which have been called ridiculous) are proven correct.

    Here's some advice....NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR OBSERVATIONS!!! Like Dan said, go get yourself a girlfriend or boyfriend and you wont worry so much about what NY and its fans are doing.
  • Obviously YOU do care otherwise why would you reply?

    Oh my this is too easy.
