    Based on stats he's not far off. I just saw an article that has him ranked third behind Mickey and Rose.

    I've been looking at random articles about switch hitters and 81 ranks high on the list as a switch hitter.

    Think about it.











































    Wait for it.

    Nah. no shot. Texas has been on a much bigger skid than our boys.

    I must say, this is not the best Yankees team I have ever seen, but they have an absolutely beautiful path to the series...beautiful.

    Fingers crossed...

    Fuck that shit. The 9-9 is luck. This team has a +7 run differential....PLUS FUCKING 7. They are garbage. Fuck destiny, they ran into a terrible Rangers team...terrible. If the Yanks don't get to the ALCS this is an absolute disaster of a season. This couldn't be set up better.

    I may not see the stadium Thursday.

    Plus they don't have Nick Markakis. This team really sucks and it's a complete tribute to Buck they are there. They have 2 good players and one good pitcher.

    I personally thin ktoo much is made over run differential. A team can be 1-9 over their last ten games and still have a positive run differential.

    How can too much be made of run differential? The only goal of the game is to score more runs than your opponent.

    A team that wins 9 games in a row by one run is lucky as shit and is not going to happen against this offense.

    Also, I'm drunk and possibly not making sense, but Baltimore is absolute garbage. GARBAGE!

    PLUS FUCKING 7 RUN DIFFERENTIAL!

    Honestly, can anyone here complain about facing the Orioles over Texas? Andrus-Hamilton-Beltre-Napoli or Mark Fucking Reynolds....I'll take it.
