Yankees: Objects in Mirror are Closer then they Appear

[Guynemer]

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.

"Historically, injuries of this nature, in the heat of a performance situation, are part and parcel of a player's intensity and have occurred in the scope and course of employment for many athletes," said Brown's agent, Scott Boras.

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!

that wont happen - the yankees are playing .500 baseball right now. we're playing .936 over the last 16 games.

sox have a lite hitting lineup today. but the way we are rolling, we could mash out 10 hits and 7 runs with these guys.

Hmmm. Any reason why Damon isn't starting?
