So much for that 10.5 game lead !!!


Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah!!!! Were coming for you bitches !!! And we are absolute FIRE !!!!!


P.S. Derek Lowe is pitching the way we know he can now. I always said if D-Low could get his head out of his ass this would be one hell of a pitching staff. When Bronson Arroyo is your 5th starter, you are doing pretty damn good.


P.P.S. A-Rod is a curse.

Seeing as how I'm the only Yankee fan here, I assume you're talking to me. and if so, I just have one thing to say back.

Let's talk when you're in first place.

p.s. Manny Ramirez has no idea whats going on right now (inside joke. sorry)

lol, I was talking to you.


You cant tell me that you arent very worried. I dont even care if the Sox take first place or not, as long as we beat up on Anahiem and Texas this week, then the wildcard should be all but ours.

Obviously, I would rather beat the Yankees for first place, but its not essential. I would really laugh my balls off if the Yankees blow this frigging 10.5 game lead.


P.S. The Yankees payroll is 193 million. That is absurd.

One thing I never understood is why people bitch about the Yankee's payroll when any team has the ability (if they so choose, or can exact enough revenue from advertising/marketing/tv deals) to have such an expensive roster. Sure, small ball can win championships as well, but in the end any major market team can choose to spend as much as it wants to get top talent. That doesn't mean that they're going to win championships, though - hell, look at my poor Mets.

As for Red Sox, history has shown, nay proven, that the more excited Boston fans get, the harder their team chokes.

Truer words have never been spoken.



I just wish there was a cap, so that everyone HAD to play on the same level. Ya know?

Teams don't need a salary cap to be successful in baseball though - look at Anaheim 2002 and Florida 2003. It's a poor argument, especially when you consider that there are teams that spend a shitload of cash (i.e., the Mets) and are piss poor. This isn't confined to baseball, either. Look at the Patriots - they are the shining example of smart team management - they get smart, athletic players who are overachievers (which is why I'm dumbfounded over Dillon, but whatever.) You can argue anything you want about the Sox - they're on one hell of a tear, but the salary cap thing needs to end as an argument.

Yes it's damn true, Simon. The Yankees and their fans are pissing their pants right now. The Evil Empire is crashing down. Arroyo is pitching straight fire. This is the year the Red Sox beat the Yankees.

That sounds eerily familiar, though I can't put my finger on why ...

Mr. Hyde

You'll see. You'll all see.
