    "The answer was in the Patriots eyes. Gone were the swagger and c0ck sure smirks, replaced by downcast eyes and heads in hands. For his poise and leadership Eli Manning was named the game's MVP. The 2007 Giants were never perfect nor meant to be. They were fighters, scrappers....now they could be called something else, World Champions."

    Can't say I am suprised with the butt whipping given to us by the Angels. They are WITHOUT A DOUBT the BEST team in the American League and all of baseball. Actually, they are now a borderline juggernaut. The Yanks having to face them NINE more times is not a good thing. Luckily, the Red SOx are beginning to suck at home just like they do on the road. Tampa ..... we will see about them image

    Figgens has gotten back to being a great player as of late which really helps jumpstart this team, they are without doubt a very tough team.

    Solid win today with Moose looking good again. Give Molina a few days off, and he's a killer. He's so much better as a back up. Nice to see Bruney pitching again - good timing with Farnsworth traded.

    Tough match up tomorrow.

    And he was robbed of an inside the park grand slam earlier when the ball went over the wall. The two Angels outfielders were down on the play.


    You're right, MUST HAVE THIS WIN.

    That was absolutely inexcusable by Girardi to have kept Ramirez in the game. With bases loaded and two out this is Mariano time!!!! image

    Best game of the season. Down 5-0 with Rasner on the mound against the Angels you figure this one is history.

    Great comebacks!!!!!

    Maybe if Hunter and Vlad were in there, the score would have been different Yanks 14 Angels 3...there is no predicting what can happen. Angels bats showed up today so that arguement is VERY weak and foolish. It was Yanks bats that won the game, not the pitching.

    Either way, Nady back in NY and this time in pinstripes! Wow, what a great addition to the team!

    We all know this guy is a clown, but does he turn into an absolute bozo on weekends ?

    Who kicks the you know what out of the Angels every year in the playoffs ? The Angels just happened to catch the Sox during
    the Manny weeks. They're praying they don't see Josh and company come playoff time.

    Your team is still behind Minnesota

    Ah, cheer up. It's not that bad. I was brought up knowing that you win some games and lose some games and that these things happen to pitchers from time to time. It's all part of the game.

    Edited to add: maybe it is that bad. Joba gets an MRI and then they ship him off to see Dr. Andrews without revealing the test results . . .
