Juice_Slowjamz 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2006 No worries. I will start a new thread AFTER the Yanks are dismissed shy of a World Championship.For now I will take my lumps. Yea, then you woke up. No one in the AL, let alone the NL can beat NYY in a 7 game series. The only team that can give them a run is Chicago, that is if their starting pitchers wake up. Huh. Can imagine why Yankee fan annoys the piss out of me. Who do you have beating the Yankees? Definitely not the Tigers. Sure they're starting pitching is good, but once you get past them, Zumaya, and Jones can only pitch for so long. NYY kill average pitching. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tjl_48 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2006 Not likely, but if the twins get Lariano back they could be really scary. They have good starting pitching and an awesome bullpen. And there offense has been pretty good. If they make the playoffs they will give anyone a run for their money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim A 4 Report post Posted August 22, 2006 what is Santana's record in Oct? I think he has quite a few ND's because the bullpen has lost it for him in the past..its horrible though that their possible use of Liriano may cost them now and inthe future..however, I implore all Yankee fans to wait until the season is over before talking trash....if we sweep the Sox but don't win it all..does it matter..no ..then we sit there and talk about how we swept them during the season and it makes us no better than them....oh and really..you don't worry about the Angels? they own the Yanks as of late...better hope Oakland holds on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trucks 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2006 I havent read any of the previous posts and have a question that may have been answered but Im lazy so apologies in advance if it has. The Tigers will finish with the best record in the AL usually meaning they play the wild card. However since the wild card will come from their division most likely do they still play them or would they play the next worst record, the As or Angels. If so then the Yanks v. Sox/Twins would be a great series and more of a test for the Yankees. What Im really counting for now that the Jays are done is that the Mets walk through the NL and catch fire righ on time for a Subway World Series where the Mets fans finally get to rub it in the Yanks faithful faces.

But we eliminated your team in what is one of if not the best comebacks in sports history. I love how you guys bring up that the Yankees haven't won since 2000 and that the Red Sox won in 2004... The Red Sox has won once since 1918! And from 1996-2000 the Yankees won 4 out of 5 world series. Since 1995 the yankees have made the playoffs ever year, and only in 95 and 97 was it via wild card. In 1994 when there was a strike in baseball, the Yankees were in first by 6.5 games with eight weeks left. The Yankees have won the East for the past decade and the Red Sux have made the playoffs five times. So what was this about that one yeah in 2004? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember Sox cant miss kids of Horn and Plantier ... Well they kinda missed!I love hating the Yankees and their fans. Thats the wonderful thing. As much as I hate them I dont know what it would be like without them :)In short F*CK YOU YANKEE FANS!!! I mean that with the most possible love :)Cheers!

The rivalry is being killed by the casuals. Good point and I agree. I've been a Yankee fan all of my life and have seen the ups and downs. I actually have a picture of myself when I was 5 with "my favorite yankees shirt on"(my mom told me that when I saw the pic), I was curious and checked out how the Yanks did that year and they were like 15 games below 500 that year, lol... how things change! Luckily for most of my life the Yankees have been a winning ballclub(they were only really losers when I was little), being down in Tampa it was refreshing to like a team that was winning.*Btw just to answer the question before it comes up; The Yankees play spring training in Tampa, The "Boss" lives down here and owns a lot of the city and my grandfather was personal friends with Lou Pinella in his Yankee days. Tampa didn't get a baseball team until somewhat recently. So that is basically why I was raised a Yankee fan. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
