I can't believe some people actually think the Red Sox are going to beat out the Yankees.

I mean, heaven knows I'm not the brightest light in the chandelier. But I ain't that dumb.

in 1976, the red sox had a 14 game lead over the yanks in july - they lost it all, including the final six games of the season vs. the yanks. they then lost the one game playoff series on Bucky Dent's homer over the monster. this was known as the boston massacre. if boston had won just one of the final 6 games vs. the yanks, they woulda won the division.

Well...Boston is leading the series this year, 8-5. We're only back 2.5 game, and have another 6 to play against the Yanks, not to mention we're playing better and they're playing worse than earlier this year. It is conceivable.

But history is against the Sox...but then, isn't it always?

history is also against the yanks - no team has ever had an ERA higher than tampa bay and won the world series.

and of course, scott boras needs to put his 2cents in. i bet he'll figure out a way to turn this around and get extra money from the yankees.

also included are 3 drama queens (listed alphabetically Arod, Jeter, Mussina) and one joker (el duque)

this deck is perfectly suited for a game of Yankee Poker - where everyone at the table has a limit except for one guy.

You still need to beat the yanks 5 times.

If the games you play against other teams you both win and lose the same amount.

ACK!

Sox were able to muster a grand slam and a solo shot, and made it interesting towards the end.

Wakefield's knuckler just wasn't as solid as usual.

the problem was dave roberts not taking 2nd on defensive indifference in the 9th. that would have eliminated the double play, woulda moved him to third and woulda had manny up, with ortiz and millar to follow.

that and the fact that we got phantom tagged again. its always those 2nd basemen who seem to do it.

$teiny wants mlb to award his team 2 wins because he says if Drays dont get to NY by Monday, they will forfeit and a forfeit counts as a lose. Drays are stuck in Tampa because of storm and theres no way they can get a plane and a hotel room for this series.
