Chiefsters yankee thread

Re: Yankees vs. Red Sox

Firstly, you can't have a team of superstars. You need guys in the dugout without an ego. Secondly, the Yanks compete every season but with the money they spend on talent they should be winning it all. Lastly, they don't beat teams they should beat (such as the Rays and Jays).

I'm an Astros fan. I'm used to failure.
 
Re: Yankees vs. Red Sox

The Red Sox also don't always beat the teams they should, ESPECIALLY the Jays.

That being said, the AL East is now, and has been for the last few years, the TOUGHEST division in all of baseball. While the Yankees and Red Sox try hard to screw one another, Baltimore and Toronto are quietly building quality squads. Toronto is going to be a FORCE this year, and would have been more of one last year if Holliday didn't get hurt.

Even Tampa Bay is a scrappy bunch, they always play hard for a full 9 innings.
 
Re: Yankees vs. Red Sox

I disagree. I think the AL Central is the toughest division in baseball right now. Especially last year.

There is no doubt that the AL East is a strong division but I don't think it is the toughest division in baseball right now.
 
Re: Yankees vs. Red Sox

No way.

Chicago is the only solid team. Detroit and Cleveland will not keep playing at the level they are now. Of those two teams Cleveland has a better chance, but Detroit will falter.

Even if those two stay middle of the pack, there is such a drop off after that for Minnesota and KC. AL East has 4.5 solid teams - TB isn't quit there yet but they almost are.
 
Re: Yankees vs. Red Sox

Once again, I disagree. Baltimore hasn't been a solid team in years and haven't proven themselves yet this year. Same goes for the Jays. It takes more than one month of the season to prove yourself.

Last year the White Sox, Indians, and Twins were very good teams. Only the Yankees and Red Sox turned out to be very good last year.
 
Re: Yankees vs. Red Sox

Time will tell, time will tell.

I bet the average win total in the AL East will be higher than the Central come years end.

*makes Outlook reminder to check this thread in September* :p
 
Re: Yankees vs. Red Sox

What can I say I hate the Yankees, almost as much as the Dodgers.

But hey Boston whooped the Yanks Monday. Maybe they'll whoop 'em again today. :D


Damon went 0 for 4.

Big Papi hit it hard. :p
 
Re: Yankees vs. Red Sox

Not really a whooping when it was a close game until that home run.

From a fan standpoint though, that home run was AMAZING. The wind was causing H-A-V-O-C on any ball in the air last night, he must have HAMMERED it to clear the wall, although it was just barely :D
 
Re: Yankees vs. Red Sox

Yeah, even Joe Torre was amazed.

Manager Joe Torre marveled at Ortiz's power.

"If anybody is going to do it, Big Papi is going to find his way through the wind," Torre said. "I just thought the count was probably the difference. He (Mike Myers) had to throw a strike."

Ya know Mike Myers was Boston's lefty specialist last year.
 
Re: Yankees vs. Red Sox

Mike Myers had NOTHING last night. His fastball hit a whopping 83 mph :eek:

If tonight doesn't get rained out, I hope it's a good game.

Not sure why the Yanks are undefeated during the day and can't seem to buy a hit at night?
 
Re: Yankees vs. Red Sox

This game got postponed, will turn the August 18th series into a 5 game series.

That's nuts!
 
Re: Yankees vs. Red Sox

Will the yankees ever beat the bosox again :smoker:
 
Re: Yankees vs. Red Sox

??????

They beat them last night, and beat them good :smoker:

Wasn't as good as the 14-3 BEATING they took the night before, but a win is a win :)

Really looking forward to tonight, so it can break the first place tie. If it gets rained out again, I'll be a bit upset :eek:
 
Re: Yankees vs. Red Sox

Bleh lol. Last score I remember seeing was them being schallacked. They were up like 3-1 and then they were down 14-3 lol.

Was hilarious :D

Ah baseball.
 
Re: Yankees vs. Red Sox

It was a bad game overall, the defense made many costly errors and the hitting just wasn't there.

Good thing is though it all happened at once, rather than spread out over a few games.
 
Re: Yankees vs. Red Sox

Such a great game so far, two INCREDIBLE home-run saving catches by Bubba Crosby and Johnny Damon for the Yankees too :D
 
Re: Yankees vs. Red Sox

Rivarly renews again this week, too bad they are losing tonight :dead:
 
Re: Yankees vs. Red Sox

Stop crying.
 
Re: Yankees vs. Red Sox

I'm not crying, it ain't over until it's over :ninja:

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
