The Yankees Do Not Suck

[Woodsy]

still like the Cardinals, but this time of year, the old pros show up, like they did in the Bronx this weekend.

Dodgers may have won last night, but with our sorry rotaion & late season swoon, we are far from old pros dammit.
its the Cards series till someon takes it.
Both your east coast megolopolis teams cant hang with the powers of the midwest & their out of nowhere ace

so please

SHUT THE FUCK UP

[Benny Profane]

Yeah, but the cool thing about baseball is the fact that the megaloolz teams are still duking it out, decade after decade, and those series become baseball onto themselves. You know, the Twins are hot, but they can't buy a sellout. But just try to get good seats at Fenway this weekend, and then wear a Yankee cap.

Parity sucks. Just look at the NFL. No dynasties anymore. Go Yanks.

No NFL dynasties?

Talk to me after the season.

[Anxious Mo-Fo]

C'mon Chowds, you won last night! Make some noise, for chrissakes.

Enjoy the feeling while it lasts!

So in Skiing terms then Vail and Killington are the best in the Buisness because they get the most skier days. They are the most crowded, hence the best experience.

Aspen Highlands, Solitude, Wolf Creek, Kirkwood. cant touch the mega resorts for skierdays so they cant be as good.
'
Its only fun for the megaopolisis to duke it out. yeah.

Just for the record, in the last two years, Boston and New York have played 45 times. You'll never guess the series result. Red Sox 23, Yanks 22.

oh joy.

go twins

[tuffy109]

1 more to go.

twins w/ santana go down in the doubleheader.

pedrrrrrro loses his 4th straight.

do the yanks have the twins first or the winner of the west coast?

They will play the one with the worse record, but at the moment both Anaheim and the Twins are 90-68, so it remains to be seen.

[basom]

pedrrrrrro loses his 4th straight.

he has not been sharp. we can still tie! and then we win. but we wont

i'm really hoping the A's win the west with a better record than the Twins. They are one team i feel we have proven that we own time and time again. Angels still scare me and there is no way i want to play in that fucking dome. our old slow guys not so good on turf. ooof.

[stump832]

Whoever ends up playing the winner of the AL West will be sitting pretty. The current matchups for this weekend's A's v Angels series are:

Colon v Mulder
Escobar v Zito
Washburn v Hudson

With the ALDS starting on Tuesday (am I right here), this means that the AL West winner can not pitch any of its best pitchers on normal rest more than once during the 5 game series. In fact, for any of the "aces" from this list to pitch in the first two games of the series they would be going on 3 days rest or less.

Good times.

[tuffy109]

that a's/angels series is gonna be fun to watch.

[Benny Profane]

Bern, baby, Bern!

SHUT THE FUCK UP

there's no place like dome, eh?

[Woodsy]

there's no place like dome, eh?

eh,
we do OK in the Bronx as you may have noticed

NEW YORK (Sports Network) - Johan Santana threw seven shutout innings and Jacque Jones homered to lead the Minnesota Twins to a 2-0 victory over New York in the opener of a best-of-five American League Division Series at Yankee Stadium

and Santana didna even have his best stuff.

[tuffy109]

word, cause his best stuff would've clinched the series last night.

[basom]

not even close to his usual stuff. i think the twins kind of lucked out considering how the yankees were getting good contact every inning. if they didnt hit into a record five double plays it may have been a different story. just goes to show how important insane defense is in the playoffs.

your dodgers looked like shit BTW.

[CS]

your dodgers looked like shit BTW.

Yes, yes they did. Perfect example of what anemic pitching will do to you in the playoffs. Oh yeah, and the Cards have some decent bats too. I'd be surprised if the Dodgers won a single game. On a similar note, I'd be surprised if the
Angles didn't win at least one game (provided they decide to play some D).

i think if anyone believes this series will be a sweep that person is compleatly delusional and doesn't know anything about the Angels. They are a better team than they showed last night. Colon will be a test tonight, but if pedro pitches like he has against the angels in the past (his numbers against their big hitters are realy, really good), and provided there is no emotional hangover, the sox will come back to fenway up two.

all you have to do is look back to sox Vs. a's last year for an example of how quick a good ballclub can turn a series around. being down two games doesn't mean much considering the talent on all four clubs in the ALDS's.
