    Momentum is building off the Yankees sweep and the comeback last night. Don't think the Rays can keep the pace, and the Yanks will not get it together until it's too late. Feeling pretty good right now.

    Uh oh. A win tonight and a Yankee loss means it's 3rd place for the Bombers. I hope they get comfortable because that's their spot for the next 4 months.

    Aceves and Wake taking the spots of Lack Job and Dice. I'm cool with that. It couldn't get much worse for our 4 and 5 spots anyways. Also, give a start to Bowden. Seems like just yesterday he was a touted prospect and now he's a career minor-leaguer.

    Just like you guys would be just fine in the beginning of the year, the yankees will be just fine. As it is always said in the phillies thread, dont start sucking each other just yet.

    Deep down I know they'll be fine. But I gotta give the company line when talking shit about the Yankees.

    Which reminds me, I'm getting tired of bashing the old guard of Jeter, George and Alex. That's why I'm glad the Yanks have a new crop of guys who are easy to hate. Brett Gardner, Russell Martin, and Swisher. Dammit I hate Swisher so much.

    Swisher I can see, and I guess Martin, but what's easy to hate about Gardner? Just that he's on the Yanks? Thats my rationale for your entire team.

    On Brett Gardner...To paraphrase the Chief of Police of Malibu (a real reactionary, i might add): I don't like his jerkoff name, I don't like his jerkoff face.

    Absolutely Cliff. I expect nothing less. That's what made this rivalry what it is today. We hate each others teams. That's the way it should be. Even if Ortiz and Cano are buddy-buddy before games together. The fraternization among the players hasn't changed the fact that the fans still hate each other with a passion.

    haha, good stuff.

    Agreed. These two teams don't hate each nearly as much as they did a few years ago, but I am sure all it will take to get that back is a couple Joba fastballs by Youks head.

    I don't think the rivalry will ever be like it was in the 70s.
    Shows: 6.27.08 Hartford, CT/5.15.10 Hartford, CT/6.18.2011 Hartford, CT (EV Solo)/10.19.13 Brooklyn/10.25.13 Hartford

    It got pretty heated in 03-04 if I remember correctly. Then again, I was drinking A LOT back then.

    Yeah but the team literally hated each other in the 70s. I think 03-04 was some players hated each other.

    Yep, right around the same time your woman of a catcher got in a fight with a mask on.

    :lol: I love it how he's referred to as "a woman" despite the fact that the guy he fought has admitted to wearing lip gloss and slapped Red Sox players with his purse.

    haha. So if he was fighting a woman he shouldn't be too scared to take his mask off and make it a fair fight, right?

    I don't really have an answer to that one. I have argued with you before that it all happened so fast, Jason didn't have time to remove the mask. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

    Fair enough, and we have been over this multiple times. Not as much as the Ryan Howard debate in the Phillies thread but definitely more than once.

    It doesn't get any less fun arguing this stuff with you guys either. Amazing that it was 7 years ago.

    On a happier note, Chicken Saltalamaccia had a big hit finally last night as we blanked the Tigres 1-0 despite some amazing stuff from Phil Coke. 5 in a row with Joshy Beckett on the bump tonight. Oh yeah, and we have the Cubs coming to town this weekend. Train keeps a-rolling.
