Yanks have fallen back to 8. On the eve of what could have been their biggest series of the season they get trounced by the Tigers 16 - 0. Not exactly a momentum builder. After playing .700 ball for the beginning of the second half, the Yanks have lost 5 of their last 7 at the worst possible time. It also looks like Mussina just pitched himself out of the starting rotation.Doesn't feel like 1978 all over again? The Yanks finally fell victim to a tougher schedule. Even though they've still managed a 29-16 record since the break, the Sox have been almost as good at 26-17. So those thoughts of catching the Sox are all but dead. Oh, and with Matsuzaka, Beckett, and Schill all pitching this series, kiss your sweep dreams bye-bye. In fact the Sox should take at least 2 if not all 3. It's time to hit the gas petal and leave the Yanks in the dust. The Sox are playing with a ton of confidence and are comfortably in the drivers seat.
We here at Red Sox Nation can sleep soundly until the playoffs start. Our Sox are in. The Yanks have to struggle the rest of the way just to keep up with the Mariners. They've also let Detroit crawl back to within a game in the wild card. The entire rotation has been slipping. When did Wang's Era pop up to almost 4? Clemens has been pedestrian, and Hughes has only been an average #5 guy. Now with Mussina on the outs, who steps up? Torre may have to leave him in there. Too bad Wells is in LA, huh?
Is that the sound of the Yanks coming? Nah...
Even with the herculean effort expended (until last week), they're still in rough shape. Looks like the tease of 2007 has just about ended for you Yanks fans. With only 30 games left, their biggest series could be with Seattle.
Good luck with the whole wild card thing. We'll be waiting at Fenway, if you make it that far.

so I am guessing if the Yankees do sweep, you, as always, will be coming up with excuses and explanations such as " we are still 5 games up" and "no way you will catch us" and "we sleep well at night" (we'll see how well you will sleep at night when you are trounced by Angels or Indians in the playoffs). Good luck to you, pal..
Do you actually think the Yanks will sweep? Neither does anyone else...
Lets say 7 games - worst case scenario. OK? Feel better?
Enjoy the playoffs on TV...
The happy recapee:
I like to do this fresh after the game, while it still lingers...
We have what the doctor ordered: K got diced, Yankees beat the Sox, Manny with injured back (so is Kielty). These ain't White Sox anymore..
This is such a great site -- the anger from he first poster is excellent...too funny that in support of your team, the only thing you can come up with is "we'll see how well you will sleep at night when you are trounced by Angels or Indians in the playoffs"...you're missing the point...at least we'll be in the playoffs! I would rather be in the playoffs (and get beat) than to not make them at all! I think most Yanks fans would say the same thing. It's going to be difficult to get a tee time in NY pretty soon. All you fans are going to be out golfing instead of watching your team in the playoffs. The other poster is great too...hops on the "NY Choke" site immediately following the game! Must be real confident in your team if, instead of celebrating and taking it one game at a time, you jump on an anti-yankee blog to talk about the Sox woes...little premature, don't you think? Great work!
you don't understand, buddy:))
I am the only blogger, nobody else cares about this site..
Me and staff man go back and forth for months and years. Did you see his posts? I just do the same thing to him that he does to Yankees' fans.
and the staff said.."Do you actually think the Yanks will sweep? Neither does anyone else..."
To spare Red Sox fans' feelings, I decided to wait till morning after to post this one:
2 down 1 to go. Hee, hee!!!!!!
"With Matsuzaka, Beckett and Schilling we will probably take 2 out of 3 if not all 3". Yeah.....
And, conveniently, Seattle lost the first 2 to Angels, and, look at this - we are in the Wild Card Lead.
