    ATTENTION ALL YANKEE FANS.....RELAX

    First of all there are 188 games left, the Yanks will turn it around. They are missing 354 hits and 74 HR from last year between A-Rod and Posada. Granted Posada had a career year last year he is still better than Molina. Cano has been playing much better this month, batting .314 in May. Plus no one is running away with the AL East this season. Compare 2007 and 2008 standings. At this point last year the Yanks were 18-24 and 10.5 games out. Now they are 20-24 and only 6 games out. Baseball is a marathon and not a sprint.

    I'm a pessimist.

    Lester is 13-4 with 200 IPs with a decent 4.47 era in the majors with a World Series clinching victory. What exactly have Chamberlain and Hughes done yet?

    Chamberlain has pitched a total of 42 IPs so far and lost in the post season. Hughes is 5-7 with an era of 5.51.
    thanks :)

    Hughes has been injured for the most part.

    oh shit, you're right, they are a role model organization! I mean their payroll has just done wonders for them. Their farm system is SO paying off.... especially on the mound! They have shut so many people up by continuing to lose early in the playoffs. Tons of teams have gone all the way with a payroll over 100 million. Oh wait only one has done it. ..........twice....... and now the yanks supposed "ace" is sucking.


    ah

    1.1 billion and counting :)
    Keep hanging on to the past, no doubt they WERE brilliant. They'll be stuck on 26 for long time

    nice signature...

    two yankees references, one giants reference...

    for a non-fan, it seems a little excessive to mention new york sports teams three times in the same signature... doesn't it?

    you don't have to come in here and try to tell us that the yankees are irrelevant. we'll know they're irrelevant when all the "cool kids" like you find something else to spend your entire lives obsessing and whining about.

    but hey, whatever works for you... :rolleyes:

    what's hilarious is the inferiority complex that all Red Sox fans have.You've won 2 WS, (in 90 years, I might add) have won the AL east a very impressive 1 years in a row, and all Sox fans can worry about is The Yankees. You may have noticed that when The NY Football Giants marched thru the Canyon Of Heroes, after defeating Bill Belicheat and his supposedly unstoppable crew of voyuers, not one chant involving the Red Sox broke out. Here, you're inconsequential. In Boston, all anyone cares about are the yankees. And Pedroia and Ellsbury may be decent players, but if winning 1 WS makes them superstars, what does that make Luis Sojo? I guess Eric Gagne, (what's worse, that he gave up Gabbard and Murphy for that douche, or that he was paid $8-$12 million for a weeks of suckage. Pedroia's a little shitstain David Eckstein wannabe. If he were in KC, you frontrunners wouldn't even know his name.

    you might be underestimating their prospects, hellfish, but the laptop reference more than makes up for it...

    And Lester overcame cancer. I think he's gone through more than Hughes. ;) And he has a nice game going so far tonight.

    Pedroia's a little shitstain David Eckstein wannabe. If he were in KC, you frontrunners wouldn't even know his name.

    And that is exactly the reason why the Red Sox won't let him go. I guess you being the baseball historian on the board know that the only reason Eckstein became an Angel is because genius ex-Gm Dan Duquette tried to sneak Eckstein off the 40 man roster through waivers in 2000 and obviously that roster move didn't go through.

    thank you for proving how powerful boston is. but hey when you root for shit and mention the past alot, thats what you get. it also hurts that your 08 prime time ratings arent moving the needle like they have the past 10 years.

    3 outs from a no-hitter tonight. The future looks very bright for the Red Sox.

    haha... you couldn't possibly make it any easier if you tried! ;)

    i could use facts (like the insignificant detail that two of the game's best players are currently on the DL), but i prefer logic instead:

    you wouldn't be in here posting like you do if it wasn't already personal to begin with.

    if he were a Yankee it would've been a much deadlier cancer. Congrats Lester
