Screw you all. My time to ride the Yankees as they kick off another hot streak...I hope. Pettitte vs. Guthrie Game 1. Hopefully we can sweep this series. Is Girardi gonna be behind the mic this series? That would be really interesting.
Guthrie is a great pitcher. I hope the Yankees can score off of him. Bedard and Cabrera are okay, but the Yankees should be able to score off of those guys. Guthrie really worries me, although he has been on fire so he is due to get rocked by somebody.
I believe Girardi was already scheduled to do the broadcast for this series. He should be there. He should also be a manager in this series. And not for the Os.
We're 10 out in the L column, still time to get back in it though each passing day it becomes more difficult.
Well put. And the Yanks should really be focusing on the Wild Card at this point, not the Sawx. Excuse my ignorance, but how many games out are they from that?
7 Games. Still alot. The Yankees better start getting down to buisness. Remember, they are playing the Miguel Tejadaless O's. A team with a new manager and a team who looked like a mess last week. Maybe the Yankees can win one of these three games.
Still a lot less than 11.5 and not anywhere near insumountable. They just need to play like they were a week ago or whatever. Of course, if that means that the Mets need to go down the tubes again, then I would be strongly against it :smile:
Focus on the cleveland indians. Here we come cleveland! They wont hold off the tigers, they're gonna win the division.
The big difference between the division and the wildcard is that there is more competition in the wild card, and you can win that solely based on the final record. To beat out the Sox we'd need to get back within 6 by the All Star break, which is just two weeks away, and then when we go head-to-head, we'd have to probably still sweep. The division passed us by when we went to Colorado. That was our shot, and we blew it. Now we need to focus on winning the wild card. All that entails is winning games, it doesn't matter who those games are against. We beat the easy teams, and we stand a good shot as long as we don't allow any further sweeps. Forget the division though. It's over.
If you're 11.5 out in April, it means you're probably something like 9-21. At least in June there was time to lose that much ground, and you can still be near .500.
At the break last year, the talk were the Yankees were dead. The Sox were Champs... How did that end?
