Make it up to me tomorrow.
Yankees
- Thread starter Noy yo Fdart
- Start date
Not a chance Des!
Where the feck did you come from?
I think the Yank's loss on Friday might have ended any chance of overtaking Boston.
Tease. You could have just said ok and we could have skipped the charade.
Where the feck did this comment come from?
Children. Play. Nice.
Tabata. Be. Nice. To. The. Lady.
By the way, have I mentioned I despise the Yankees and may in fact strop for at least 10 minutes (about all the time I have to get emotional about baseball these days) if the Red Sox blow it.
Julissa may strop a bit longer, largely because I introduced her to the sport just as the drug use drove me away from it so she watches it more than me, and was trained by me to hate the Yankees because of the joy that was the Brooklyn Dodgers - my favourite all time US sports team just behind the late 1950s/early 1960s Baltimore Colts.
I sincerely hope this helps and adds a great deal of insight to this thread.
I'm off to the football thread now to see if the damned Northeasterners want to rank Florida 25th for failing to win 135-0 against a tough divisional opponent.

If we beat Toronto tonight it'll be down to one game and we have the edge when it comes to tiebreakers.
Jasonrh - were you around during the 50s to see the Dodgers in Brooklyn? I had thought you were mid-30ish.
It comes from my father. I'm late 20s-ish.
Ditto the love for the Colts of Unitas' era.
I've seen buckets of film, read tons of books, and have piles of programs, printouts of just about every NYT sports section from 1946-1958 to really understand the team.
I was programed from a very very young age to hate the Yankees and to believe the 1955 Dodgers team was the greatest ever. Sandy Amoros (a LH backup LF who made a stunning catch in Game 7 solely on the virtue of being LH where Jim Gilliam who started there would have never made the catch) was a household name as early as me being five years old.
Koufax, although he didn't get good for another half decade, was my old-time sports hero and a half as a LH pitcher.
The only non-Dodgers from that era I was permitted to love were the Milwaukee Braves, hence my tremendous man-love for Warren Spahn.
Bad day for the Yankees and the division looks lost. Still we are in the play-offs and could go all the way.
We're in the playoffs, too, but I just don't like the way we are playing. This is the time of year for ulcers for Sox fans.
Wang clinched it tonight. Looks like it'll be Cleveland vs NY and Angels vs sawks.
Sabathia who is probably favorite for the Cy young will be key for them. we need our big hitters to come out to play.
Bring on the play-offs!!

as a Yanks fan, I am glad that we aren't playing the Angels on the road.
Bostons lead is down to 2 with 3 to play. Another win tomorrow coupled with a sox loss will make the last two games very interesting.
at the Mets.Sox win AL East. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Go Sox!
Go Sox!
Im not a baseball fan but i liked The indians when there were Jim Thome, Omar Vizquel, Albert Belle, Manny Ramirez, Kenny Lofton (Back on the team).
That was a team but they were all gone slowly and its good to see the new Indians going to playoffs now

Enjoy it while it lasts
Now that the preseason is over, and baseball's real regular season begins today, I just wanted to bump this thread up near the top.
Any predictions for the Series? I still haven't decided who should meet the Yankees in the finals.

Now that mets is out, cubs all the way babyyyyyy
Where is Desert?
Beckett was awesome yesterday.
He went to visit his family I think. He will be back in a month or so I presume.
Yanks are toast. The bugs won that game last night.
Boston 2 up. Life is sweet
Sox go on to the ALCS Friday. Yanks got a second life last night. Rocket was an embarassment, though. Sad to see a great pitcher try to stay in the game when he is well past his sell-by date.
I was expecting some announcer to make a crappy pun about the gnats being a NL team.
For some reason I get the notion that had he signed for Boston this season that performance would have been labeled "heroic" and "gutsy."
Nah, more like the US men's national soccer team.
This game isn't over.6-3 going into the 8th.For some reason I get the notion that had he signed for Boston this season that performance would have been labeled "heroic" and "gutsy."
So that's Torre out then. Suppose he'll be in the booth next year calling games for ESPN or Fox. Or he could sit out a year or two before possibly taking another managerial position. Can anyone see him taking an offer from *gasp* the Mets?
I'd love to see the stRangers offer him the job. He'd never take it though. I've heard LaRussa's name mentioned on the radio but given his nature I don't think NY is the place for him - he'd be ripped constantly by the NY media. I figure Girardi is the man to succeed Torre. If I owned the Yanks, Torre would remain as long as he wanted (ala SAF). But I'd also not have signed players like Giambi, Wright, Pavano, Farnsworth, etc.

And i thought the All Blacks were sports biggest chokers.
I was quite pleased by this development last night, less so by the Bills collapse.
It's kind of hard to call a club that has won 26 championships a choker. They lost to a better club last night... obviously.And i thought the All Blacks were sports biggest chokers.
Changes are needed in that club though. Not the manager - the pitching staff.
18-5
Now now Marcello, don't be bitter. Rocket was never coming to Boston. In the meantime, it's all good for the Sox as I was concerned we would be facing them. We were not sparkling against the Yanks this year. As for the way Steinbrenner is treating Torre, what a disgrace. Not only is Torre an outstanding manager - I cannot even think of a comparision - he has handled George and the media frenzy that is New York as well as anyone on this planet could. I post on a Sox board and on that board, George STeinbrenner is known as SIAS: shit in a suit.
86 years of futility is choking by example.
On the flip side, blowing a 3-0 lead was also a great choke.
Losing to better club in a short series is not choking by any means.
