I wish I could have watched the games yesterday.


They all looked like they were great games to watch

Say what you will about the Sox players but if you ask any of them about winning something like a batting title, they will all tell you that it's irrevelant. The only thing that any of them are interested in is going to the World Series and bringing home a championship to Boston. They are more concerned with winning it all as a team than winning an individual title. And as far as Mueller (or any other Sox player) sitting with a few games left in the season to protect his lead, that's bull. The guy who's sitting in 2nd place still had a chance to win the batting title even if Mueller played. I understand that if Mueller had played and gone 6-13 that would have hurt his chances down the stretch, but if the guy in 2nd place went 2-11 it wouldn't have mattered anyway.
All of that aside, good luck against the Twins. I know this may sound weird coming from a Sox fan, and as much as I enjoy watching the Yankees lose, I want you guys to win so that we can face each other one more time.

JO77...get past the A's first...then talk about trying to beat the Yanks when it counts.

Or any NY team for that matter...

Bucky Dent and Bill Buckner. grin


But the debate is about sitting with a lead in the BA race. It is cowardice if you ask me. If I was playing...I would not be asking for time off...I would not want to sit...


Remember, perception is only thing that counts...and when a guy has a .001 or .002% lead over the next guy...and sits...that means he is afraid of going 0-4 and losing that meaningless award (because that is what it becomes now when you don't step up to the plate).

You might say that as a Yanks fan...that we can be bitter that Jeter got screwed again...but who cares. At least Jeter will do everything to play baseball.

Not so sure about the players in Boston.

The Yankees going 1 for 10 with Runners in Scoring Position did not help their cause.

Alfonso Soriano needs to get on base and generate a run just like the Twins' first run.

In reality, the Yankees don't give Mike Mussina much run support. The Yankees also have a better road record than at home. Andy Petite needs to come through and have an effective cutter, or the Yankees will be forced to win the remaining three games to move onto the ALCS.

For starters, I'm not worried about getting past the A's. Their bullpen isn't much better than ours (or yours), and our offense is much more powerful than theirs. Many people say that it’s pitching that wins championships, but any disciplined hitter can take any pitcher out of the park, and our lineup is full of great hitters. Second, after the effort that the Yanks put into their game yesterday, I would say the same thing about getting past the Twins first to you. When it comes to the post-season, 13 straight wins against the same team don’t mean anything.

Remember, perception is only thing that counts

Yes, the perception of how a player earns those milestones during the span of his career may come into view, but the only thing that really matters is whether or not he obtained that one most important milestone along the way. Like I said before, this Sox team is not about what's in it for me, they’re about lets get out there and win it all together. They're all interested in the same achievement, winning the World Series.

If I was playing...I would not be asking for time off...I would not want to sit...

As far as I’m concerned, if you want to believe that Mueller sat to protect his lead in the batting title race then fine. The bottom line is that we’re not talking about a 22-year-old rookie who is trying to make a name for himself by winning a batting title. We’re talking about a 32-year-old veteran who’s looking for his first championship. If I were in Mueller’s shoes, and had to decide between playing the last few games of the season to hold on to an individual title and taking them off to be fresh and ready for the post-season so that I could give 110% to my team, I would have done the same thing.

Oh, oh, really?! Did someone forget to share this team motto with Manny and Pedro?? What about Nomar? Who left the team on the last day to see his girlfriend play soccer? (and she never even had any game time!)

Gimme a break. Wanna see a team player? Watch Derek Jeter day in, and day out. Now, actually, I don't like to say anything against Nomar, because objectively speaking, he's a fine ball player and by all accounts, a good person. But Manny and Pedro? The two of them behave like spoiled divas.

As for yesterday, I think Mussina performed fine. Heck, even my Derek did well. But the rest of this team better step up. This is the time of the year when we'll need play-off veterans like Bernie Williams more than ever.

And dammit, I don't care what some people say, I want to see Giambi PROVE HIMSELF. I know he can't be expected to play like Reggie, but even playing half as well as him would be pretty damn good.

I do agree with you about Manny. It's one thing to keep to yourself, but it's another thing to bang out of a series against your biggest rival then go out and party it up with an old teammate on that team. Manny is a great player but his attitude does suck sometimes.
I don't agree with you about Pedro though. He has always given his all to this team to make sure that they win. He's definatel cocky, but not a diva.
As for Nomar leaving with those last few games left to go be with his fiancee, is that worse than Jeter spending a little too much free time partying with his buddies instead of concentrating on his game at the beginning of the year (and don't bother denying that cause even Steinbrenner got involved on that one).
If it's divas you want to talk about, how about when Clemens (and don't get me wrong, he's still one of my favorite players of all time) wore the commemorative glove with the 300th win patch on it to the Yanks-Sox game, and he hadn't even won #300 yet!!! I mean, now that's cocky!

Come on, Outcast, that thing with Jeter happened during *spring training*. Now, maybe he should've gone to bed earlier, I don't know. But there's a big difference between partying in March, and refusing to play in September when your team is in a pennant race.

Let's put it this way. There is no love-loss between Yankees and Red Sox fans.
With the Red Sox losing in extra innings, 5-4, and Pedro on the mound, the Red Sox are in BIG trouble. They are facing a team that not only beat Boston's ace, the A's also have something to prove.
The Yankees also need this game tonight. A second consecutive loss in the ALDS would be devastating to Joe Torre's stint in Nerw York.

First I will say this...

George stepped over the line in his hissy fit about Derek.

To think that Jeter would not bring 150% was crazy.



Now...I definitely agree that Boston is in more trouble than the Yankees are.

Losing Game 1 was not an option for the BoSox.

happy happy

Pettitte pitched brilliantly. Giambi's two RBIs bode well for him and us, I think. Oh, man. I'm starting to feel better about our guys. We need Rocket to keep the momentum going.

A concern? Why was Jeter rubbing his shoulder in the eighth inning?

They weren't in a pennant race Yanksfan, they had already clinched the Wild-Card at that point.

I understand that the thing with Jeter happened during spring training when it didn't matter, that's my point. Nomar took the last three games off after the Sox won the Wild-Card to get some rest and prepare for the bigger challenge ahead.

Still not worried about our chances though. The Sox are notorious for coming back from the pits of desparation to win (plus Lilly has an ERA of 16.20 in Fenway this year... that helps too happy ).

What a game last night! Giambi came through, Soriano got on base, and Petite pitched brilliantly. It looked bleak in the 4th after Tori Hunter's home run, but the Yanks rallied in the 7th for the win. Only scoring 1 run in the 1st became moot. Hopefully, the Yankee bats woke up last night and will remain awake in Minnesota. I am looking forward to the series ending Sunday with the Yanks victorious.

I agree, smurf. It really seemed like a team victory last night, a lot of contributions. Not to mention Rivera pitching two scoreless innings.

Outcast, when I was referring to the pennant race, I meant Manny Ramirez. As I said earlier, I actually have a great deal or respect for Nomar, and am not one of those yankee fans who bash him for the sake of bashing him. And come on, when Manny sat out, they were in the THICK of the race. They were playing the yankees for crying out loud! But I guess I should really be sending him flowers rather than picking on him. I appreciate not having to face him.
