The Yankee Euphoria...


For those of you that don't know what "euphoria" means: A feeling of great happiness or well-being, commonly exaggerated and not necessarily well founded. (Dictionary.com apparently doesn't like the Yanks either) Heck, even Shatner the ultimate "over-actor" isn't buying it...

Let's recap...

1) It's only August
2) The Yanks have plenty of time to blow it
3) As long as the Yanks are 3 games up with 4 to go, the Sox will be fine (2004 revisited)
4) Yanks pitching is not that good. It just didn't suck as bad as the Sox pitching over 5 games
5) The next 4 game set at Yankee Stadium will allow you to suffer at home in Sept.

While it has been so nice to hear from all of you regarding the Sox demise, there are still 40 games left. It really can't get worse for the Sox, and can't get any better for the Yanks. Don't expect all the breaks continuing to come your way...

But your Yankees just lost Mussina, at least for his next start. His track record late in the season isn't good. Ponson is horrible, and the Unit is an average #3 starter at this point. More pressure just got dumped on Wang.

Still confident? Riding high? Must be living in fantasy land...

You've just been set up for another fall Yankee Fans.


Only this time its from higher ground...

OK...here goes.

Please read the May 23rd post.

Let's recap your recap.

1. Remember 1978?
2. The Sox blew it.
3. Your a Math major in High School.
4. He thinks we forgot 2004!

Hey! Ponson is gone already.
Unit is equal to Beckett...Better!
oooou...bet ya Wang is scared!
The only fall the Yanks will have is called "Post Season Playoffs" for a round or three.

When will the Redsox win a Division,an ALCS and a World Series all in the same year??

Staff said...

It's all about the ring baby. Keep counting those division crowns. Pathetic.

And that Yankee drought continues...

Thank You. Why should one count division titles?

When is the next World Series Ring for Boston, Mr Staff Man?

( I think Mr, Staff Man is upset!)

Did you have a bad weekend?

Well...dah!

The Yanks have had droughts before. What is the Sox longest drought?

Eighty what?

(you opened the wrong door!)

bottom of the 9th. The series against the Mariners is on the line. 2 outs. Arod at the bat. CAN THE 2005 AL MVP DO HIS MAGIC?

Strikes out swinging. LOL!!!

Staff said...

Keep counting your division titles. Ask the Braves how that works out in Oct.

The rings are coming. Yanks will eclipse that 86 year drought. The $ count? A billion dollars and counting since the last ring...

....school (High School).

Redsox defense looking very A-Rodish last night.

Slipped yet another one in that race for the wildcard ring.

Coco is looking pretty sad.

Errors no comedy for Sox - Miscues add up in series-opening loss to Mariners.

Good morning.
After Sundays game with Seattle we need to revisit your posting of August 14th where you talk about the next 24 games will decide (If you count them its really 23. But you can't count. I can't spell!).

Then lets revisit that August 23rd posting (recap) again on Friday the 1st of September.

OK the results are in....

Detroit series 1-2
Yankee series 0-5
Angel series 2-1
Mariner series 0-3

Thats 3-11 with 10 to go....waite...is that Toronto I hear behind us?

Yanks are not much better at 8-6...and glad to leave the coast.

another bad weekend of us. We need some help and to stay healthy. Let's go Redsox Nation.

Anonymous said...

The Nation will prevail as long as we are behind by three games with four to play...remember 2004!

Staff said...

Actually from Aug 14th thru Sep 6 is 24 games. So you can't count or spell. Teriffic...

Can you hit? The Sox could probably use you...

The boys need to turn it on now despite the injury bug. Otherwise its over before 24 games...

Explain this from your August 14th post

"The good news is we should know if the Sox are a playoff team in the next 3 weeks or so. Why? take a look at their upcoming schedule. It's a doozey...

Detroit - 3 games
Yanks - 5 games

West Coast Trip:
Angels - 3
Seattle - 3
Oakland - 3

Back Home:
Toronto - 3
ChiSox - 3

That translates into a 24 game stretch from hell, with only 1 day off."


How about that May 23rd post!

Staff said...

4 games vs Toronto...
