Well it would seem as though this whole thing has evened out lately

Hi kids, been awfully quiet around here these days. I vow to bring us back up to speed....uh....later.

Well those Colorado Rockies have been tough, swept the Yanks. Swept the Sox at fenway too! It would be a very weird world if they ever became a dominant team. Speaking of the Rockies, part of their stadium is really a mile high in altitude!

This is an interesting weekend of NL matchups looke dope! Peavy vs, Beckett should be classic.

Put up the Montreal logo back Brother James, at least until after the all-star break. Or as Manny calls it, Siesta time.

watching this team is nearly impossible

boy, doesn't 7 and a half sound so much more reasonable than 14 and a half???

boston is shitting their second rate pants... it's time for red sox injuries and yankee world domination. cocky, and getting cockier...

Don't Turn Around Red Sox, this train is coming faster than you think!!!

Yankees Win Eighth Straight With 7-2 Win Over Diamondbacks; Rodriguez Hits No. 25June 13, 2007 11:31 p.m. EST
Marc Pruitt - AHN Sports Reporter
New York, NY (AHN) - The hits just keep on coming for the New York Yankees.
The Bronx Bombers won their eighth straight game Wednesday night after a 7-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Alex Rodriguez hit his major league leading 25th home run, and Hideki Matsui had a three-run blast in the fourth inning that gave the Yankees a 7-1 lead.
Mike Mussina (3-3) pitched 7 2/3 strong innings, recording a season-high seven strikeouts in his first win since May 9. He also is the first major league pitcher to rack up 20 wins in interleague play.
The Yankees have now won 11 of their last 13 games and are a game above .500 at 32-31, the first time they have been there since being 8-7 on April 20.
Jorge Posada also homered in the second inning for the Yankees to tie the score at 1-1.
Bobby Abreu extended his hitting streak to 12 games with a fourth inning single.
Chris Young had given the Diamondbacks a 1-0 lead with a sacrifice fly in the first inning.
Conor Jackson homered in the sixth for Arizona, but that was the last of the offense.
Livan Hernandez (5-4) was bombarded in four innings or work, giving up nine hits and all seven runs while walking five.

You can't deny it's been a great Yankee week!

-one game away from .500

-6 wins in a row

-The Rocket's groin holds up for a win

-Abreu and ARod are fucking monsters

-Torre 2000th win

-and on and on and on

New York Yankees.. come out and play...

should you be scared of a team that you are ten up on? THIS TEAM- you absolutely should.... and rocket , we'll see what he can do tomorrow...

Como se llama, Almost No-No?

Dammit all Curty almost through a no-no, got as close as you can get really. Oh well still won and that is for sure the most important part. That was a tough game, and what a playoff game it would have made. And I missed it completely (was at work).

50 some odd days until the trade deadline, you know moves are going to be made. Everybody in New England doesn't know it yet but we need a catcher prospect to replace (back-up for awhile) Varitek. who is 35 and aging like the anti-Dorian Gray.

The Yanks need bullpen help big time, guess what texas has a guy, he's ok you may have heard of him, his name is...um...Eric Gagne. It seems to good to be true that the Yanks would end up with 2/3 of the best closers of the past decade on the same time. Of course the small type here is that they're both in the "past-prime but still kinda got it" era of their respective careers. BTW Trevor Hoffman would complete the trilogy.

Meanwhile the Yanks are edging closer...they don't die and I never believed that they do, but with mattingly at the helm, I'm not worried. He's like Tony Soprano's son, AJ, he doesn't know how to run the show....don't make him prove his worthlessness again.

History in the making?

Oakland is owning Boston. and the Yankees are struggling their way back towards mediocrity. at least they're not losing every game this week. we'll see. Wang gave them what they needed- a complete game, i think it has been about a year since a Yankee pitcher threw one. it was Wang, last July... Batters are looking stronger... I'm almost ready to believe again. and not just in the wild card, i believe the Yankees always get the best stories in history, this year it will be written. Boston's Collapse and The Miracle Yanks!!!

Johnny Damon likes the muscular type too!

State of the Rivalry

Here we are in the first weekend of June. June people!

The Yankees are currently 13.5 games back behind the division leader. They also have one game at that particular leaders' home and then go on the road to play the Chicago White Sox for a four game stretch without new free agent signing Roger Clemens (who will be out for the series with a minor groin pull).

Let me declare this series is still very relevant, the Yankees have the best line-up in baseball, pitching throughout the league will continue to get banged-up. However they also have a bullpen that is getting more and more banged up as the year progresses. You really can take the effort to blame coach Joe Torre for this infraction against his arms.

Calling for his job is another matter, this is a guy who has coached the Yankees to 6 W.S. appearances! Give him a shitty bullpen and you have exposed his weakness, he overuses his bullpen every year. He has an uncanny knack for knowing when a guy is toast and when to start warming up a xouple relievers, give him bad pitching all- around and you are setting him up for disaster. Still Joe should be untouchable.

The Sox meanwhile continue to be the team that just wins the majoity of its' games. I have always been a believer in the theory that if you take 2/3 in every series you will win your division very easily and although it sounds like common sense, nobody really goes all out for that stat like they should....until now.

Francona is flying under the radar like a U-2 plane in China these days. if he wins a W.S. again he might go down as the 3rd most popular coach in Boston history. (1. Red Auerbach, 2. Bill Belichiek, 3. Tito Francona) and this Sox team doesn't look close to done, especially compared to the Yankees team of 2007:

Clemens, Pettite: I would be shocked if these guys play another season
Damon: Looks like a 12 year old when he throws the ball.
A-Rod: Soooooo gone after this year, really, do think he likes N.Y.?
Giambi: 'Nuff said. They might just make him disappear altogether (he's a 10/5 guy)
Matsui: hey, I love the guy but he ain't gettin' any younger
Jeter: ditto
Moose: ditto
Posada: ditto
Mo Rivera: ditto
Abreu, M-witz, Proctor, Pavano, etc.: Ships passing in the night

That leaves:
Cano, Wang, Melky, Hughes, Nieves as the basis of your next Yankees dynasty.

This message with self destruct in 5 seconds.

P.S. if your 20 games out by the all-star break Roger ain't stickin' around. Neither is A-Rod. Ouch. But that's what happens when you base a relationship on money.
