Sox vs Yankees tonight

same goes in football then.... all you can do is try your best but if the reciever doesnt catch it then youre fucked. if you field a ground ball and the first baseman doesnt catch it, same deal
 
BASEBALL SUCKS!!!

it is such a stupid sport, i only can stand baseball cause bonds cheated and still got away with it.
 
first of all, you know nothing about baseball.

1. mussina is prob the yanks 4th or 5th best starter behind wang, clemens, pettitte, and maybe hughes. even though hes been slumpin hes still could eat up innings for us in the bullpen. before he lost his last three starts he won 4 in a row. he just lost his touch and needs to gain his confidence back

2.we were down 14.5 games at the end of may and now were only 6 games behind after today.

3. we still have two series left with the devil rays too

4. the yankees do not have a hard schedule. the only teams left on there schedule that are threat to them are the mariners and the red sox. and those are the two teams competing with the yankees for playoff spots so then the yanks could gain ground

5. the red sox still have a series left with the yankees so its not over yet. NEVER count the yankees out
 
i could keep going but its clear you just don't get it. you like baseball, i don't, who cares, just drop it.

change your icon tho, i had mine first, it's too confusing.
 
yankees arent making the playoffs. their starting pitching is just too weak. plus, KC is looking really good, so they could be a threat against the yankees. the yankees still shouldnt have dropped mussina from the rotation. if you take a look at his career, he always has slumps like these.
 
yanks might not win the division but they can at least get wild card. KC? theyre a way below average team so i dont even consider them a threat. i agree with you on the mussina thing but he just needs some time to collect and then he'll be back to the old mussina
 
i have to agree even being a yankee fan. even if they get in on the wild card they dont have the pitching to pull anything off so they might as well hang it up now and let us poor people pick up cheap tickets for the rest of the season
 
mariners have a pretty hard schedule compared to the yankees, theyll still have the yankees, detroit, cleveland, and la angels who has owned them this year winning 11 of the 15 meetings. thatll be a big factor that decides who makes it or not
 
i was surprised by clemens tonight, he did well. and i was disappointed with beckett tonight, he usually does much better, although he did have a good number of Ks. the yanks hit too much of what he threw at them, it sucked. the had way more runs than we did, i just am thankful that we were able to get out of some of those jams and leave them to only 4 runs. and i'm glad we didn't get totally crushed with just being 1 run behind. highlight of the game: A-job's attempted double to hesitation resulting in being thrown the fuck out by pedroia at first = GOLD
 
yea man i just rewatched that highlight of arod.... priceless, see the really sad part about the yankess, if you look at there batting i mean there #1 in a lot of stats hits avg hrs runs scored and rbi's, i mean there bats at the begining of the year besides a select few were terrible before the allstar break. i mean they just didnt add at the trade deadline, i mean there was talk of gagne going there( look how that worked out for us, though he'll pitch well now that hes not tipping his pitches), but everyone knows and knew from spring training that they needed starting pitchers, in there defense there werent to many to add but i feel like there the yanks and should have done something. now the yanks are at the bottom or near the bottom of every pitching stat and you cant win cause no team can put up 10 runs a night

with that being said the yanks wont take the wildcard or divison, i dont care if they sweep the sox(which they wont) in the remaining games, that rotation just cant hold up, i mean you have pettite every 5 games and then wang is good when he gets his ground balls, i despise clemens i wont really go into him, i hate his contract, so you get the point

these games are sox yankees games(which is still a big deal) but nothing more, i mean maybe if we didnt play 12 of our 19 games in the first 2 months we have some sort of pennate race...i definetly just posted to much info for most nsers to even read.....lets go sox....
 
I hate the Yankees. I saw A-rod hit a homer and all I could think of is when he tried to swat the ball at first base. Haha.
 
i bet you feel like a jackass today. and actually the devil rays do have some extremely good players on their team and could cause problems for any team in the majors. only carl crawford? what about bj upton, delmon young, and isnt there one more, i swear, oh yeah dont they have a former sox player on their team who has like 31 homers right now, oh yeah carlos pena. man suprised you forgot about him dumbass

After Game 7 of the 2003 American League championship series between

the Red Sox and Yankees, I walked out of Yankee Stadium with a

colleague. Just 48 hours earlier it had seemed very possible that the

Red Sox and Cubs would meet in the World Series. Instead, we were

getting the Yankees versus the Marlins.

"Damn," I said. "I was really looking forward to a Cubs-Red Sox World Series.""No,

we didn't want that," he said. "Because right now we have one group of

totally obnoxious fans we have to deal with. And if the Cubs or the Red

Sox were to win, then we would have two."

If only we had that sort of foresight before invading Iraq.

It's

true. While Yankees fans momentarily are neutralized by their recent

embarrassing autumns and their current spot in the standings, Red Sox

fans, sadly, have taken over the mantle as the most obnoxious fans in

sports.I say this as a former Red Sox fan. I spent a good

chunk of my teens and early adulthood hating the Yankees and rooting

for the Red Sox. I wandered into the rainy streets in stunned silence

after the Bill Buckner play in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. I went

into my room, closed the door, and fell weeping onto my bed during Game

7 that year. (Mind you, I was 24 at the time and I was crying while

there still were two innings left to play.) But Boston fans were

different then. They were the tragically loyal fans who always went

home disappointed in the end. You might have gotten tired of our

whining, but at least we weren't constantly in your face with it.

No

longer. As soon as the Red Sox won the 2004 World Series, Boston fans

took on a swaggering, entitled persona, acting as if they alone

invented sports fandom and behaving as if nothing else in baseball

mattered but them.

It's like in "Can't Buy Me Love" when

geeky Patrick Dempsey (in his pre-McDreamy youth) pays popular

cheerleader Amanda Peterson to be his girlfriend for a month, and then

he starts acting like an ass. (By the way, for some reason there is no

photo of the amazing Ms. Peterson at the IMDb Web site. Meanwhile,

Corey Haim and Corey Feldman have a reality show. And people are

wasting their anger on Michael Vick?)

No one can stand to be around Red Sox fans anymore. And they're everywhere -- a recent USA Today article labeled the Red Sox baseball's new biggest attraction.

Forget a fence between the U.S. and Mexico. What we really need is a

wall, a moat and a minefield around New England to keep the spoiled

citizens of Red Sox Nation from sneaking into the rest of the country

and taking over seats in major league ballparks that should go to

hard-working local fans. Everywhere the Red Sox play these days turns

into a road version of Fenway Park, with Boston fans occasionally

drowning out the hometown fans with their "Let's Go Red Sox!" chants.

They were so over the top at a recent game in Seattle, I was surprised

the Mariners didn't play "Sweet Caroline."

INLINE TABLE (BEGIN)

INLINE TABLE (END)

Whether this is an inspiring show of team pride by passionate

fans or an annoying lack of manners depends on how close you have to

actually sit to these people.

They call themselves Red Sox

Nation, the same arrogant way the Cowboys call themselves America's

Team. And the whole thing is getting a little old. Could I get a little

help here from Miss Teen South Carolina? Where the hell is Red Sox

Nation anyway? It seems to me Red Sox Nation only exists when the team

is winning, like a country that only shows up on U.S. State Department

radar when oil is discovered. Wherever Red Sox Nation is, I just wish

Bush would invade it.

I

would say that Red Sox fans need a humbling collapse -- say, blowing a

14½-game lead in the standings or a 3-0 lead in the ALCS -- but then we

would just have to listen to them moan about that for another

couple decades. Even now, we have to suffer through stories about how

their once enormous lead was whittled down to four games last week.

Good lord. Sorry, but the Red Sox days as a tragic, put-upon team are

over. That died the instant the final out from the 2004 World Series

landed in Doug Mientkiewicz's glove. This means no one wants to read

any more stories about how a shriveling first-place lead or a Yankees

pennant drive inspires "dread" in Boston fans. Hearing fans of a team

with a $143 million payroll and a recent World Series ring worry about

a seven-game lead is like listening to Bill Gates worry that Social

Security might run out when he's 67.Enough already. Get over

yourselves, Red Sox fans. Better yet, follow the lead of White Sox

fans. Their team went 88 years without winning a World Series. They

went 46 years without even playing in one. Yet when they finally won in

2005, they had the decency to keep their celebration to themselves.

And if their fine example isn't enough, then maybe this will be enough to sober you up:

You're acting like Yankees fans.

 
We played like shit the last 3 games. We better get our act together by the time mid-september rolls around cause we will not be able to afford to drop 3 straight to the yanks then.
 
its ok. we're playing baltimore who has lost 8 straight and we got the easiest schedule ever. im not worried at all
 
bummer that we didn't get any in that series but there are more to come... still more W's then anyone else in the game!!!
 
to andyju,

you REALLY need to stop posting in this thread. youve made ur point and now u can just stop. seriously. i know you like the red sox and a lot of other people like the yankees. you dont need to defend ur team after every little thing someone says. if u have so much confidence in the sox, you dont need to argue about those things.

this is something that most sox fans do because they are so insecure about their team and that article is very true about sox fans

if u respond to this post i really hope it has nothing to do w/ the red sox and is just u defending urself not the red sox, because no matter what u say they just lost 3 straight games to the yankees and u cant change that

sincerely KP4L
