Remember when the Yanks started 0-8 against the Red Sox in 2009?

No. No they weren't. Go back to fairyland where they make that up. Maybe Lester and Bucholz. Not Beckett and DiceK (maybe their salaries, not their expectations).
Why am I debating with a baseball fan from Sactown? #Ineedtogetagrip

Yeah! The freefall stopped!

GO TRIBE!

Fuck that...I heard and read lots of Beckett is due for a rebound and Dice K is looking healthy....so yes, they were

You're so lost.

**ex-powderbroker** · 06-08-2011, 10:45 AM

Come on - the Sox always have six aces up their sleeve. Go listen to John Kruk, he'll tell ya.

I have a soft spot for the Tribe, even if they are in the AL.

**ex-powderbroker** · 06-08-2011, 10:47 AM

BTW: Posada was 3-3 with a walk. Eat it PoonTron!

**BmillsSkier** · 06-08-2011, 10:48 AM

Did anyone catch the 20 minutes they devoted on Sportscenter to the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry last night followed by the 15 they gave it out of the 1/2 hour Baseball Tonight? It was fucking awesome.

So saying he was due for a rebound and Dice-K looked healthy all of a sudden means we thought we had the best starting rotation in the AL? Seriously, just lay off the super glue, it isn't very healthy!

Did I miss his 3 run HR that you predicted?

Go check out "New York's hottest new club" instead of living in dreamland.

And, as far as the pitching thing...every real Sox fan knew Dice-K had a chance to be good, but may have blown up (as he did). I am very pleasantly surprised by Beckett, though...and that prediction seems to be accurate on him so far.

WHAT? that's not a credible source. That's from Baltimore. Go sniff some more glue.

I didn't catch that actually...but I did see the snapshot of the Tribe's record and standing from May compared to now that they flashed on Baseball tonight. OUCH

**BmillsSkier** · 06-08-2011, 11:36 AM

Pow, I saw that too. Gotta right the ship here soon. Masterson is pitching well today, but can't get any fucking run support. Baseball is a frustrating game.

Oh, and the Yanks-Sox-a-thon on ESPN was epic. I highly suggest TiVo'ing it.

But the Tigers are getting closer

Lots of jealousy from fans of the second tier teams

Aren't you a Yankees fan? Get used to second tier.
Love watching a game in the Bronx with no one in the front rows behind the plate. CAN YOU FEEL THE EXCITEMENT?!??

The Bronx Bungholes are trash whether they win or lose.
Love the city, hate the team.

Yes they are, hitting very well. Tribe needs to get it back in gear.

Just tied it up in the bottom of the 9th! Come on!

You're doing wonders for the stereotype.

**PowTron** · 06-08-2011, 08:22 PM

Wow, that Yankee bullpen IS amazing...well, amazing for the Sox.

11-5 in top of the 9th, back to back homeruns (Crawford and Drew). Goodnight, NY.

**irul&ublo** · 06-09-2011, 08:23 AM

Fuck....

**ex-powderbroker** · 06-09-2011, 10:51 AM

Wow, looks like the Yankees need to move to the NL.

**retirwntm** · 06-09-2011, 12:58 PM

as a lifelong yankee fan, i can't think of another time when, on a player by player basis, the team looked so bad. offensively and defensively, no one seems to care. even cano, who seemed like such a double threat looks off.

i know where they are in the AL east, and how early it is in the season, but they are not going to even make it into the playoffs this year with the type of team play they exhibit so far. even if they do, they will get blown out of the water by someone like texas last year.

posada - love the guy, but he should walk away before they can him.
jeter - chasing 3000 hits but only hits ground balls and mostly into double plays
swisher - looks more and more like giambi everyday; a liability in the outfield.
gardner - opposite of swisher - great in the field, doesn't take the bat off his shoulders. i get that he wants to be walked to be on base - so do opposing teams and pitchers. they can pitch 2 strikes almost every time and gardner won't be swinging unless he has to...
arod is a disappointment - period. only cares about HR title and dating famous has beens.
pitching - at least lee isn't looking historically "lee" like in philly (as far as the yankees are concerned)
granderson is having a pretty good year!

sorry, i know not all teams have access to a brazillion dollar payroll. it proves money don't buy success all the time. end of rant.
