Welp here we go again, coming down to the final stretch of games to see who takes the east this year.
I obviously do not think the Yankees can catchus but time will tell. It will be sick if it comes down to the final series in Boston which I think it will.
So where are the Yanks and Sox fans during this final push to the playoffs???


GO SOX!!!!! :woot:

I am right here in front of my computer. This season has been quite the good one. The sox are only 1 1/2 games ahead. Damn, it is close!!!!


GO SOX!!!


Josh

with all due respect i hope it comes down to this series to decide who goes home. the yanks have been so disgusting for most of the season i cant stand it, but if they can beat anyone its the sox for the pennant

Sox all the way, baby!!!

:thumbup:

Let me put it to you all this way.

I am in CA but I have been always a HARDCORE Yankee fan starting from when i was in Long Island........man you can always find Yankee Haters anywhere ;)WHY? Because IMO unlike us most of the LA fans are "Bandwagon" fans. If thier team wins then the whole states go crazy but if they lose then the fans are no where to be seen. Although Yanks lose too but thier history is just so great and filled with awsome accomplishments and 1st class players that i feel great to be a fan.

I get alot of "S" having the yankee plate on my 2GS and a NY YANKEES frame on the rear plate of my 3GS...i always have fun with it....GO YANKS!!!! :thumbup:

sox :thumbup:

LETS GO YANKEES

clap clap, clap clap clap

its been a really intense week for us yankee fans. every god damn game is so important.

word! all i gotta say is, bubba crosby striking a pose at the plate in the bottom of the ninth, after a sweet swing? what a beautiful thing. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Lets go RED SOX!!!
clap clap, clap clap clap!

Back to half a game oh man we need to wake up before the dreaded Yankees go ahead of us. Either way I am convinced it will come down to the last series of the year for the whole shabang!

Without a doubt it will come down to that final series!! I really don't know if my weak heart can handle this anymore!!! :D


GO YANKS!!!!

Lets go RED SOX!!!
clap clap, clap clap clap!



BTW Dom, check your fantasy team..........From this point forward TD's are worth .01 points and sacks are worth -50 points for your quarterback. This rule is only in effect for you. :D :D :D

Very true! I mean you have 4 temas right now fighting for the 2 spots. Boston, NY, Oakland, & Cleveland. One mistake now and the season is done! It's really gonna be a great 2 weeks!!


If it comes down to Yanks/Boston and the final game, we should really have a CL Yanks/Boston fan meet at some local establishment to watch the game!!!

I hear ya....Believe it or not i picked up the plate from a shop in TImes Square before we moved to Cali....i am sure you can find these at the Mall etc....

ill be looking for it asap

Well both the Yanks and Boston did what they needed to do last night. Man, both teams are straight up scary when they are at the plate!!!! Cleveland was the first to make a mistake.

Yanks now .5 games out of both AL-East and Wildcard!!! GO YANKS!!!

Yup was a good night for both.

Manny and Big Papi both went deep twice and Nixon and Varitek broke out of their slumps, hopefully now we can get hot again. :woot:

Jeff you see Papi's moon shots? :eek3: Noone in the entire MLB has a better 3 & 4 in their lineups. Schilling actually looked good last night too. :thumbup: Wake takes the mound to wrap this one up tonight and he owns Tampa Bay.

Relax people. I know it's been a looooooooong time since you seen the top of the AL East, but seriously this is going to be an intense couple weeks of baseball so don't start claiming the pennant just yet.

I'm not claiming a pennant, I'm just claiming FIRST PLACE!!! :p

Naw, seriously, the upcoming Yanks/Sox series is going to unreal! It will make the World Series anti-climactic!!
And it definately looks like that series will decide who's golfing and who's playing!!

Welp we lost our share of first for the moment, either way you look at it, it is all coming down to the final series at the end of the year. No team is going to up or down 3 to the other.
Should be fun next couple weeks.

Never bet against the Yanks is all I can say. (Sorry steviej) :p :cool:

that was one hell of a pose. not bad for his 1st HR of the season


for real. you'd think he'd been doin it for a while. he said he'd never hit a walk off homer, even in little league.

Wake takes the mound to wrap this one up tonight and he owns Tampa Bay.

so much for ownage? more like renting. :D

Wakefield allowed only 3 of their 7 runs. :rolleyes:

LMAO!!! Gotta love man.

LMAO!!! Gotta love man.

you see where im comin from becuase you're from here.

we just took a hit 7-4 so this will make things a little more interesting 8 games to go. lets go yanks

yanks and the sox is now tied for 1st

Seven games left.

Toronto and then the "Evil Empire" :mad:


It almost seems to erie to be real. I love the end of the baseball season. :thumbup:

On another note, it read that New York had a record 4 million fans in attendance this year. Good Job!!

Now try and find some fans that don't jump from the upperdeck like a lemming!!!!! :egads: (remember that??)


Take your attendance record and blow it out of your pie hole. j/k. Love ya guys, without you, I wouldn't have anybody to hate in October.!!!! :rolleyes: (Serious Sarcastic remark...)

Cheers to a eventful postseason!!!! :thumbup:


Josh

yea they broke that record today at the stadium. i was there and recieved a "4 million attendance record" pin

yeah theres no other rivalry thats so meaningful EVER year

last year i created the thread that was pretty much the yankees/red sox postseason thread. if i recall correctly it was a sticky as well. hoping since a sox fan created it this year, the same horrible thing happens..... to the other team. (actually, i hope the red sox don't even make the playoffs but, you know what i mean)

(actually, i hope the red sox don't even make the playoffs but, you know what i mean)
WHY? YOU SCARED?? :cat:

very funny. :D
i woulda did the whole "insert middle finger here" thing, followed by the smiley face, but that probably still woulda been frowned upon. IF we made the playoffs, i'd much rather play sox or angels as opposed to the indians. but, then again, i thought there was another hot team that made it to the AL playoffs, maybe it was oakland or the twins, and they didn't do much.

as long as there aren't any hiccups, this final weekend we'll at least have our three best starters (with all due respect to shawn chacon). wang on friday, unit on saturday and moose on sunday. i like chacon but i feel like he isn't as proven as wang. who ya'll got goin?

im so mad i cant waych anyof the games this week b/c im in atlanta. i hate having to catch highlights on espn

i rather have aaron small pitch than shawn chacon. i feel like we have a better chance to win.

Have the games started yet? Gosh I haven't been this much into it since I was a little kid.

Since the White Sox have to play the Indians still, this should be one heck of a nail bitter. All the way to the very end!

Josh

the yankees game got delayed due to the rain and the red sox game is postponed til tomorrow. so that means the red sox gotta play a double header tomorrow

yanks pullin out the dub last night. unit was slangin. a-rod continued his mvp campaign. hey, even joey t was mad enthusiastic when giambi hit that 3 run bomb. when joe's standin up clappin after a dinger, you know it's clutch time :thumbup:

Interesting,
Boston, New York, & Clevelend are now tied. I don't no if I can take this!

Go Red Sox!!!

Oh boy Sox are rolling and Moose is alllllllllllllllllll washed up! Wohooooooooooooooo :woot:

HAHAHAHA Yanks down 9-7 :p

HAHAHAHA Yanks down 9-7 :p

Yea stupid Yankees relief pitching, it's good for giving up two homers in two innings :sad:

At the same time, Sox only up 1.

13-7 Baltimore. :p

Tied 5-5


Indians losing.... nice.... now close the fif' ining already!!!!!!

what happened all i see is scores flashins acrooss the board. i always get nervous when the mddle relievers come in the game. ok i just saw the indians lost 5-4

Yanks are down 13-7 in the 7th inning, the Sox are down 6-5 in the 9th inning. Indians lost, so if the yankees lose now and the sox lose, all will remain unchanged in the standings except that the Yanks and Sox will be tied because the Sox had that doubleheader today, winning game 1.

Us Red Sox fans plan to give A-Rod and Giambi a very "warm" welcome this weekend at Fenway. I sure hope they have life and health insurance. :D

boo them all you want, because the way Gary Sheffield is hitting the ball this month, he'll be the reason why the Red Sox will be playing golf in October. :)

Hi there :)

The White Sox might be the team playing golf next week!!!

If they do, it will be a sports disaster for the city of Chicago!!!

Both the Red Sox and Yankees will make the playoffs. I think the White Sox will be the team that will not make the playoffs.

its final 7-5 bluejays. now do you guys think the yanks can pull this one out?
I hate to say it but i doubt it. Right now it seems as though for every run the Yanks are scoring, the bullpen gives up two. It was 7-3 Yanks, then it was 8-7 O's, now its 14-9 O's. :sad:

i see gary went deep twice. hows the hamstring? is he dhing?

its now 17-9 for the yanks game. they sure aint pulling off a 9th inning comeback

i see gary went deep twice. hows the hamstring? is he dhing?
he's doing fine. he's back in right feild. he almost hit a 3rd HR but got robbed. :cry:

you know it's gettin intense when ya'll are posting during REGULAR SEASON GAMES! i was about to say that this is way too intense, but i already used the word intense. what an unbelievable stretch week this is. the quality of teams in the AL remind me of the NBA western conference. meanwhile, there's a good likelihood that a sub-.500 team like san diego or san francisco is gonna make the playoffs in the NL west. go figure :uh:

Terrible night, we have Schill on the mound with a chance to be in first by ourself and pretty much sew up a playoff spot and he can;t deliver.
Poor guy may hav epitched his way outta his career last year. :sad:

Gay-Rod and Balco boy will get the warm welcome they always do here at Fenway, but the one who will get harrassed the most will be Jeter becuase of this recent hate mail he received. Now I don't necessarilly agree with it but it is going to be very difficult for him to perform this weekend with all the disractions going on in his personal life.

Jeff buddy don't start bailing on me now. When was the last time Schilling went out and got 8 k's? He actually loked pretty good he just made a few costly mistakes. Don't worry the Yanks are in the same boat. Look what happened to Moose last nite :eek2: The yanks have pitched a good stretch of ball lately but that might have ended last night when they got spanked by the O's. The winner of the 3 games in Fenway will be the first team to 14 :D . Oh and BTW we have David Ortiz - YANKEE KILLER!!!! :woohoo:

Ya I am not quitting on them just a little aggravated. I honestly beleive we will beat the Yanks at home but our bullpen cannot carry us through and it may be our demise this year, it is the cold hard truth.

Wow we are really in trouble here, Arroyo once again has stunk the joint up and we are behind 5-1. I really hope we come back or the Yanks lose cuz this is not looking good

like I said last week.

doesn't jeter always get harassed the most at fenway? consider jeter is THE yankee, i would think that you guys needed your heads examined if jeter didn't get the most flack. but then again, you're a red sox fan. you already need your head examined :D

Wow we are really in trouble here, Arroyo once again has stunk the joint up and we are behind 5-1. I really hope we come back or the Yanks lose cuz this is not looking good

i'm not even gonna scoreboard watch. i just know we pulled out the 2-1 win. chacon has just been HUGE. moose is gonna be pitchin on sunday, despite his performance the other night. guess we can only hope for the best.

yankees won cleveland lost and the redsox are3 outs away from defeat :woohoo:

yanks are back in sole possession of 1st place in the AL east. :woohoo:

just what i needed to hear before i hopped on the treadmill :thumbup:

The Toronto Blue Jays are really p*ssing me off!!!

The Blue Jays cannot beat the Yankees. Yet, they whip our a**es all the time. They are 12-6 against us!!! :mad:

At least you haven't lost the season series against the Devil Rays :sad: And you didn't get swept by the ROYALS :egads:

But at least the Red Sox are losing now, and the Yanks winning now, when it all matters most :)

Haha we just picked up Mike Stanton for the last 3 games of the season. I actually think it is a pretty good pickup.

YANKEES OWNSZ YOU!!!

Haha we just picked up Mike Stanton for the last 3 games of the season. I actually think it is a pretty good pickup.

yeah, i just heard about that on espn. i actually can't see who you can actually pick up that will do ya any good. dan patrick was saying that they picked him up specifically for giambi, like embree was supposed to be for ortiz (embree sucks ssa by the way. i see why you let him go). maybe it'll pan out. i think tonight is huge for both teams, moreso than the opening game tomorrow.

Haha we just picked up Mike Stanton for the last 3 games of the season. I actually think it is a pretty good pickup.


This is a very good move for the Red Sox. Because our bullpen has been so terrible.

Stanton vs. Bellhorn......who would have known? :D

BOS down 4-1 :D

Yanks up 5-0 :D

:D:D:D:D:D:D

boston down 4-1
yanks up 6-0

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

papi = Mvp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yanks won.. boston is currently tied at 4 in the 9th

yanks and bosox both won tonight. we're going into the final 3 games with the yanks up by one game

Thank you Mr. Torre. I agree with you. I booked a 10am tee time for you at the country club for next Monday. Sa Yo Na Ra. :)

wow, certainly are creative there mr. donald. martha stewart's decorating team in prison may need you for this year, now that she's out.

BIG PAPI DOES IT AGAIN! :woohoo:
MVP

WOW......I can't believe i didn't see this thread, I actually don't come in the clubhouse much anymore. 1st and for most Jeff you only post when its good news for the sox and you only call me after the sox win. 2 weeks a go you said it was over and we weren't catching you. you called me when we were tied for 1st and the next night after you fall out of 1st no call than papi gets a wimp single to win the game last night and all of a sudden my phone rings. dude be a man, call me everynight not only after sox victories...

as far as tonight man its huge we really need to win tonight to get that 2 game lead. wakefield has been tough this season and randy has pitched real well against you guys but with the game in boston its harder on Randy than waky. I hope our bats can get going early...

Funny thing is I don't think Papi can spell MVP :p :p :p

or even better ask him what is stands for. His answer would " More vacation position"

BIG PAPI DOES IT AGAIN! :woohoo:
MVP


More Viagra Please??

Adrian please stop crying, you know good and well you dont answer your phone when you guys lose either so stop your crying please.

Did you see that staggering stat of Papi with 19 homers and 55 rbi's after the 7th inning. My god is he good. No doubt MVP baby.

Man this weekend will be nerve racking, I hope if we donl;t win the division we can still win the wildcard. Should be interesting and full of BOOZE.

GO SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :woot:

All this Yankee - Red Sox posturing will be meaningless come October when the White Sox are in the World Series and you'll are sitting home eating popcorn.

Yes, you both get homage for your storied histories and greater overall success, but hey, the White Sox are not chopped liver and we still have the best record in the American League in 2005. Now can we do anything with it remains to be seen.

unbelievable, but i guess MAYBE you can get a pass, considering you've spent sleepless nights for the last MONTH wondering whether your team was gonna pull the unthinkable. to be honest, that'd be worst then blowing 3-0 to a team that eventually, well, you know what i mean. soooo, instead of even getting remotely cocky, i'd call up a devil rays fan, any devil rays fan, and thank them for at least being consistent in giving good teams problems.

a white sox fan chimed in. i can't believe it... :uh:

This is gonna be one hell of a series. If the yanks win 2 out of 3, it's all over. If BOS wins 2 out of 3, it's all tied up and we'll play a tiebreaker game in Yankee Stadium, since we won the coin flip ;). GO YANKS! ONLY NEED 2 WINS!!

unbelievable, but i guess MAYBE you can get a pass, considering you've spent sleepless nights for the last MONTH wondering whether your team was gonna pull the unthinkable. to be honest, that'd be worst then blowing 3-0 to a team that eventually, well, you know what i mean. soooo, instead of even getting remotely cocky, i'd call up a devil rays fan, any devil rays fan, and thank them for at least being consistent in giving good teams problems.

a white sox fan chimed in. i can't believe it... :uh:

Why can't you believe it?, do you think there are only 2 teams in baseball that matter?

And honestly, no sleepless nights. Nor is it my problem that the Yankees lost the season series to the Devil Rays yet the Devil Rays laid down against the Indians. And no it wouldn't be worse than blowing a 3-0 lead to a team that eventually, well you know what I mean.

Anyway, best of luck this weekend and I am pretty sure that either the Yankees or the Red Sox will be sitting at home when the 1st playoff pitch is tossed.

well just see whose fans will leave the tv off for the rest of the playoffs come monday

GAme ON!!!!

GO YANKEES!!!!

CLOSE all we need is someone to close this sucker!!!!!!





GO SOX GO!!!!!

12th inning at Jacobs Field right now.

Round Two tomorrow afternoon.

Good night. :)

wow, certainly are creative there mr. donald. martha stewart's decorating team in prison may need you for this year, now that she's out.

Hi there :)

Long time no see.

Wow, you remember my name. Thanks.

I'm sorry but what is your name? :)

Take care.

yanks and sox is now tied for 1st with 2 games left. looks like there might be a pre-playoff game

You are correct.

But I do not want to see that happen.

A Pre-playoff game (the following day on Monday) at Yankee Stadium in front of 55,000 Yankee Fans,.....no way. This pre-playoff game will make the Yankees and Red Sox very tired and exhausted.

The White Sox and Angel players are already resting. :egads:

I just hope the Indians lose and that will give the Yankees and Red Sox some breathing room.

Ummmmmm if the Red Sox sweep this series, they will automatically be in the Playoffs. If the yankees win the next 2, then they will automatically be in the playoffs. If the Red sox win 1, and the yanks win 1, then there will be a Tie atop the American League East. Now the next deciding factor is the Head to Head series, which, if it needs to be looked at, the yankees will win 10-9 (right now, as of tonite, the yanks lead the season series 9-8), and there would be no need for a pre-playoff game. Therefore, all the Yankees need to do is win one game in this series, am I correct? Now if the Indians keep losing, and there is a 3 way tie for 2 playoff spots, then I think we need to have a tiebreaking game, right?

Yes, you are correct. :)

If the Yankees win just one out of the next two games, then they are the A.L. East division champs.

If that happens, then the Indians MUST lose two out of three to the ChiSox. Then the Red Sox would enter as the wild card.

It looks the Indians will lose tonight. Thank God!!! Thank you ChiSox!!! :D

let me get this right. yanks need to win one more and cleveland to lose one more and the yanks take the division?

let me get this right. yanks need to win one more and cleveland to lose one more and the yanks take the division?

Hi there :)

If the Yankees win just one more game, then they are the 2005 A.L. East Champs.

In that case, Boston will compete with Cleveland for the Wild Card.

So,

If the Yankees win the division and the Red Sox and Indians finish with identical records, then the Indians travel to Fenway for a one-game playoff series and the winner plays Chicago in the first round.

The Yankees then host the Angels.

You know what? It would be a lot more easier if the White Sox just beat the Indians!!! :D

damnit :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

The Yankees need 2 games to win the division, not 1. They are tied you know.

This is true that they are tied, but if the Yankees and Red sox end up with identical records at the end of this series, (meaning the yanks win 1 of the next two) then the Yankees take first place because of the season head to head series, which the yankees will win 10-9, so in actuality, the yankees only need to win 1 game in this series to take the AL East pennant.

Ooops, my bad. :egads:

It should be another great game today.

Let's also hope that Cleveland loses again!!! :D

You are correct. :)

The Yankees need only one more win and they are the A.L. East Champs.

I would "HATE" to see the Yankees celebrate at Fenway.

"IF" two teams from the A.L. East go to the playoffs. Then the A.L. East champs face the Angels and the Wild Card team faces the White Sox. A Yankees vs. Angels should be a very fun series to watch.

Guys HELOOOOOO WAKE UPPPPP. You are all baseball fans!

If the Sox and Yanks are tied after this weekend they go to NY to play a playoff game to decide who wins the East. After that if anyone is tied with the Indians, the loser of the Sox_Yanks pre playoff game has to play the Indians to decide the wildcard. They DO NOT determine winner of a division buy season series.


OKOK so nowonto the game, what a great game by two great teams huh? Boy did Arod make an error and nothing on offense other than stole a base??? Ortiz keeps it up and he has MVP wrapped up.
Well it is early but I am off to the local watering hole for yet another breathtaking game. Talk to you guys later. :thumbup:

GO SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :woot:

Well I guess if we lose today and Cleveland loses the Yankees do in fact win the east. It is looking that way right now but we shll see.

you are most certainly right. i missed the game last night b/c i was flying from atlanta to new york, but im watching now and the yanks are up 7-2 top of the 7th and cleveland is loosing which means if things keep up this way both the sox and yanks are in the playoffs. someone correct me if im wrong b/c this is what the broadcasters are saying

thats another pennant in the books, now can we get another championshp this year PLEASE

Congratulations to the NY Yankees, it fans, and the organization.

As long as the Indians lose tomorrow, I am fine with a Wild Card berth.

The last three World Series winners were Wild Card teams.

So if the Red Sox do win tomorrow (or if the Indians lose tomorrow) then it looks like it will be the Red Sox vs. the White Sox in the first round.

And the Angels vs. the Yankees........does the 2002 playoffs ring a bell? :D

the AL EAST is OURS! GO YANKS

To calrify the current situation: YANKEES = AL EAST CHAMPS 8th YEAR IN A ROW. :D

Situation 1: BOS wins tomorrow, CLE loses tomorrow >>>>BOS = Wild Card
Situation 2: BOS wins tomorrow, CLE wins tomorrow >>>>>BOS = Wild Card
Situation 3: BOS loses tomorrow, CLE loses tomorrow>>>>BOS = Wild Card
Situation 4: BOS loses tomorrow, CLE wins tomorrow>>>>>Monday Night Tiebreaker in Fenway, Last time the Indians and Red Sox played a tiebreaker in 1948, the Indians won the WS.

Worst comes to worst, we'll see a pre-playoff game on monday night.

Hi there :)

Long time no see.

Wow, you remember my name. Thanks.

I'm sorry but what is your name? :)

Take care.

after working a long shift and not even being able to watch the game (live at least), i'm back. i'm catchin up on the reading, but, allow me to reintroduce myself: my name is deuce, and i'm a yankee fan :woot: :woohoo:

I would "HATE" to see the Yankees celebrate at Fenway.

.

don't know if anyone else has quoted this one, but, just in case they haven't..... :D :woohoo: :woot:

i would like to see aaron boone screw the red sox over. :D

dude, it that happened, i think someone from the red sox nation would seriously attempt an aaron boone assassination.

hmmmm, so yanks push back moose to game 1 of the alds. you guys get jaret wright today. you'd think that'd be a blessing in disguise. a lot of scoreboard watching gonna be happening today. we'll see.

Hey Deuce :)

You are very welcome.

I think this is the most memorable and special title for the Yankees. With their many injuries, pressure from Steinbrenner and the NYC media, etc.

Many people say that A-Rod is the MVP for the Yankees. I actually think it is Rivera, Chacon, and Small. Chacon and Small were a combined 17-3!!! The Yankees were 16-4 in their final 20 games. Bad timing for my Red Sox!!! :egads:

I'm confident that the Red Sox will win the Wild Card. So see you in the ALCS. :thumbup:

Dye just hit a 2-run shot fot the ChiSox..................YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BBBBBBBOARD,..................YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YESSSSS!!!! :D

Thank you ChiSox. But starting Wednesday, your team will have a taste of playoff defeat. ;)

Yankees, you will roll over the Angels. See you at Yankee stadium for game 1 of the 2005 ALCS.

As for the NL, I do not care. :D

10-1 RED SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :woohoo:
after 6

Cleveland is done. Red Sox are on their way to another post season. :)

boston going to chicago
new york going to LA

you guys ready for round1?

congrats on making in to the postseason donald. should be another interesting year. seems like the only time curt makes a quality start lately, it's against us :uh:

Red Sox outscored the Yankees 119 - 80 this season.

WE should be the division champs. :D

If you ask me, that scoring difference means more than the Yanks winning 10
of the 19 games.

Thanks Deuce :)

And congrats to your Yankees. Small and Chacon really stepped up for the Yankees.

Hi there :)

Since 2003, the Yankees and Red Sox have played 71 times (including the playoffs).

The Red Sox leads the series 36-35!!! Crazy huh?

I pick the Yankees over the Angels in four. And the Red Sox will beat the ChiSox in five.

ALCS,...round three,....here we come!!! :cool:

Yup we are in and congrats to the Yanks on the division although I dont agree but whatever.

I really think Anaheim is going to tough for the Yanks and we will have a dog fight with Chitown as well. Only time will tell but I know one thing, MANNY is heating up :woot:

GO SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fool.. oh yeah..kind of like drafting Chad Pennington as the 1st pick in an FFL draft too! (just givin' ya a hard time)... You're credibility is shot! You are the last person who has any concept of dissin' the pale hose...

The ChiSox SWEPT the Indians, Swept, when it didn't even count! The Red Sox are in for a battle and then when we come through the Bronx and beat the Cardinals in the World Series,/.....Well anyone who says we didn't belong are just going to be full of sour grapes.

Of course, I' cashing checks I haven't funded yet, but remember the Marlins did the same thing twice...including beating Clemens as a Yankee.

:D That wasn't me doin that draft :rolleyes:

:p If the Bosox beat the Whitesox, I'll be happy to see the Yanks vs. the Red Sox again. If the White Sox beat the Bosox, I'll be happy because the Yankees will face an easier opponent in the ALCS.

:D

Anyway, best of luck this weekend and I am pretty sure that either the Yankees or the Red Sox will be sitting at home when the 1st playoff pitch is tossed.
In your face Ed! :p J/K I mean come on it's the greatest rivalry in sports who the hell wouldn't wanna watch that? I think the Yanks got it tough and I'm glad we didn't win the division. They have to travel across the country to play the Angels who are well rested and playing good ball as of late. While the Red Sox only go halfway around the country to play a team limping into the playoffs (the Indians really gave them a scare). Anyways congrats to all teams who made the playoffs and now its time to shut up and play. :woohoo:

Yes, I was wrong. I thought the Indians would win 2 of 3 to at least force a playoff with Boston, oh well.....

And yes, I agree traveling cross country always makes it more difficult.

There certainly are valid reasons to believe that the CWS will be an easier opponent, but sometimes when that happens you get bit too. And the CWS were always only 3-4 games ahead of St Louis for the best record in baseball and even with their slump still finished with the 2nd best record in baseball (one game back of St Louis) and with the best record in the American League. If the CWS limped in then how come no one in the American League was able to catch them? It was more a factor that Cleveland played excellent baseball the last 57 games of the year (39-18, winning 15 of 16 at one point) which made the slump look worse than it really was. And the CWS still went 14-5 in the season series with Cleveland.

And I wouldn't necessarily call winning 5 of our last 7 as limping into the playoffs. Plus the CWS had quite a few injuries to deal with during Cleveland's run but are back to being pretty healthy again and should be fine come tomorrow. IMO the Bosox are the ones who limped in (they were up by 3 or 4 with a few weeks to go and then had to finally get the wild card on the last day of the season, right?).

I'm just hoping the CWS can pull a Florida Marlin concept and win it all. We shall see starting tomorrow. (fingers crossed)

Lets go YANKEES!!! Had to pop in once again and say that. Carry on.

Thanks Deuce :)



So your team will travel to the "Los Angeles of Angels of Aneheim of the Republic of California for which we stand one nation under God,........." :D

yeah, that is still THE dumbest sports team name of all time :egads:

i'm really nervous, but just gotta have that faith that our players will do what they need to do. either you're clutch, or you aren't. it's that simple....

yeah, that is still THE dumbest sports team name of all time :egads:


Hey Deuce :)

Check this website out.

7 out of the 10 ESPN baseball experts said that the Angels will beat the Yankees. I find that surprising.

As much as I hate the Yankees :D , they have one of the best offensive teams in baseball.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs2005/series?series=nyylaa

A picture of me and Marc (tsopranoMB) at the second game of the season. Jeter hit a game-winning shot in the ninth to win it. :(

http://tinypic.com/e8u4wl.jpg

Welp today starts the playoffs and boy am i excited. I am really excited to see how the Sox will react and play this postseason, see if they can muster up some balls and do it again!

As for the other series, I really dont know, it is the Yanks in October BUT they are really overmatched with pitching in that series so it should be interesting.

Good luck to all and GO SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 :woot:

Some analysis from Jason Stark for those that think the White Sox should be pushovers..

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs2005/columns/story?columnist=caple_jim&id=2179555

Tiger whats up mang, unfortunatley this year will NOT be your year to break your curse. I mean it may be a good series but you guys can't beat us. Contreras just doesnt have the same stuff against us. With our rexperience I think we take you guys in 4. :D

Duly noted but the White Sox long streak has no curse associated with it, the Goat is the Cubbies thing.

Last year when Foulke pitched in the clincher I felt that signaled that the White Sox year would be this year. (Foulke came up thru the CWS farm system (if I remember correctly) and the CWS streak was the next longest after the Red Sox) Coincidence? I think not! Beware of the Marlin concept, the Braves know all too well.

Also Contreras's lone win against the Red Sox, who he is 1-6 against, came this year....hmmm. :eek2:

I'm sure as the games progress we'll have more fun with this. :thumbup: :p

boston is down 2-12 to chicago :eek2:

boston is down 2-12 to chicago :eek2:

Yep :D

Credit the ChiSox, they are hitting the ball HARD with runners on. They have 4 HR's so far, and 9 runs off of those 4 HR (one 2-run, two 3-run, and a solo).

Wow are we getting slapped! Hopefully tomm we come back and just win one we need in Chicago.

Yep :D

Credit the ChiSox, they are hitting the ball HARD with runners on. They have 4 HR's so far, and 9 runs off of those 4 HR (one 2-run, two 3-run, and a solo).

Check that: 5 HRs...another Solo shot here in the 8th.

Well, 2/3 of Divisional Series Day 1 is over, The Cards held off the Padres 8-5, and the White Sox crushed the Red Sox 14-2.

Now...

LET'S GO YANKEES!

boston got smacked up pretty good today and i was hoping for the padres to comeback just to put some pressure on st.loiuse theyve had way toooo much rest the yanks are looking good but im not too confident in mussina

boston got smacked up pretty good today and i was hoping for the padres to comeback just to put some pressure on st.loiuse theyve had way toooo much rest the yanks are looking good but im not too confident in mussina

I see no reason not be confident in him. He's experienced, and has shown impeccable control tonite.

Yanks lead 4-0 still, going into the bottom of the 7th.

moose had one hell of a night. great game for him.

Well, 2/3 of Divisional Series Day 1 is over, The Cards held off the Padres 8-5, and the White Sox crushed the Red Sox 14-2.

Now...

LET'S GO YANKEES!
What a good game. Mussina really did his thing.

My Red Sox.............*sign* :cry:

donald: tough loss, but it was a blowout, so you gotta just shake it off. i think rsox are in a great position with boomer on the hill today. maybe an 04 curt s. would be ideal, but boomer is a gamer.

who woulda thought wsox fan would actually have a place to actually bump his gums with the rsox fans? usually it's just us two in here, goin at it. some good back and forth smack between sox? that might be fun to watch.

yanks pulled out the formula last night. it's waaaay more comforting knowing we can put leiter and smalley in those 6th and 7th innings. especially smalley. i can appreciate leiter, but i don't like the type of pitcher leiter is. too much of a nibbler, hates throwing pitches over the good part of the plate AND is stubborn.

lackey is a monster. hopefully wang can hold it down and keep us close and we can steal one in the later innings. but NOT against sshields. his breaking ball last night was naaaaasty.

who woulda thought wsox fan would actually have a place to actually bump his gums with the rsox fans? usually it's just us two in here, goin at it. some good back and forth smack between sox? that might be fun to watch.
Excuseeee me!

________________________
On another note, one win does not a Series make. But for many that don't know, the CWS hit more homers during the season than the Bosox (yes even counting Ramirez and Ortiz) and Podsednik stole more bases than their whole team, not to mention our pitching staff, maybe no super studs, but solid top to bottom. Better than Wells and his 4.45 ERA. Wells will need some run production or else his fat, slobby ass is toast!

I'm sure the Red Sox will come back strong and I'm sure Guillen will have the guys prepared. Hey we finished the season 8-2 and swept the best team in baseball the last 57 games of the year to keep them from making the playoffs. We were also the best team in MLB in one run games during the season, not too shabby if you ask me. :thumbup: :p

But hey, the CWS need to keep producing or it all means nothing!

Nothing could make my day more than another win tonight and still hear Yankee fans continually underestimate us (just like you did with the Marlins in 2003)

Now what was someone telling me about Contreras yesterday?

Wow am I in shock. This is terrible, we were rolling and a measly ground ball destroys us. Just awful so so awful....

is boston getting ready to get swept?they might have used all the magic up last year. i hope that they extend the series so the whitesox dont have more time to rest. to be honest we need to see the redsox in the alcs to get our faces back

I didn't see, I was in the bathroom for that particular play, what happened again? :D:D


Bad luck for BOS, Tough road ahead for them, but it ain't like they never came back from the face of defeat :cry::cry:

Excuseeee me!

________________________


Nothing could make my day more than another win tonight and still hear Yankee fans continually underestimate us (just like you did with the Marlins in 2003)



i'm not underestimating. hey, the series that we played were pretty close. i'm not even thinkin about the next round at all. honestly. the angels were a tough draw and we have our hands full.

let's just leave that thought alone. graff caught a case of buckner-itis. that hurts. cano botched one last night, and already botched one tonight. drive in a run, allow baserunner, drive in a run, allow baserunner. dude definitely needs to work on his D this offseason. let's just hope that starts as late as possible.

knowing how boston is, they still have a really big chance to come back and take this series

Wells ERA 4.45, final score 5-4, on a comeback homer that fits the Ortiz/Ramirez mold....(I guess the run production just wasn't there)

Did someone mention something about One (1) run games? Held on from the bottom of the 6th too.... Not too shabby. :thumbup: :p

True, the Yanks are one of the best at preparing. Nonetheless, they still have "miles to go" (Death Wish, Bronson) before the next round.

This is a painful morning to wake up but I aint giving up yet not on this watch. We have a very big hill to climb but I am confident we can do it. Man just field it and shovel it over to second :banghead:

Yeah, errors ended up costing the Yankees the game too. Only 2 of LA's 5 runs were earned, both solo HRs. Arod's error accounted for one run, and Wang's fielding error led to a 2 out single that scored 2 runs.

That game was f-n terrible to watch. Wells was pitching a gem until the 5th. I seriously thought he would go all 9 w/a shoutout that's how easy he was getting out of innings. So damn painful I really don't feel like talking to anybody today. WTF TONY! :mad: :egads: :mad:

Dom, I am the same way right now, my employees were fair warned to not aggravate me today cuz I am in no mood, very very bitter today. :mad:

The Red Sox last 3 division playoff series began 0-2 and they came back to win each one.

Sooner or later you have to lose one of these series, eventually their ability to overcome these odds will fail and the luck will run out. It might as well be to the CWS :p

Granted you can look to the error as the turning point, but the CWS still had to come thru as well, that homer by Iguchi was HUGE! :thumbup: And then to shut the Bosox out the rest of the game was no small feat either. I believe credit should be given where credit is due :thumbup:

After watching that game I feel very good about this year being our year of destiny. But 1st we must focus on one game at a time and that next one is Game 3. Clutch pitching, clutch hitting, and clutch coaching moves is what we need to continue to do, let's hope the CWS can.

yeah, eventually, somethin's gotta give. i don't wish any ill will against red sox fans though. ya'll are as passionate as bomber fans are, so i know ya'll are goin' thru it right now. hell, i woke up earlier than normal this morning, mad about the L we took last night.

Guys with the pending weather problems it will be interesting to see how the weekend plays out. I know here in Boston it is supposed to start raining sometime today and rain hard for 2 days!

I think we'll all be rained out. Last I heard this morning, was for the rain to get progressively more steady throughout the day. :thumbdn:
At least that was for the NY area. I was REALLY looking forward to ending this craptastic week with some games on the TV and a cold one in hand. :cry:

TRU DAT! I won't be able to handle the anxiety if no Sox today and tomorrow. I need them to get this game in today. I was in such a bad mood yesterday noone wanted to even get near me :p . I'm feeling better today. Last night I watched soem highlights from the 2003 ALDS vs. Oakland and it brought back some great memories of being done 0-2 and coming back to win. I still have faith but i really need to see them play today.

Same here in NY, Lots of rain starting tonite into sunday morning. That means 2 possible rain outs. Sunday will be good enough for a game, and then Columbus Day = more rain. We'll see what happens. I kinda wanted to watch some baseball this weekend too since I've got some free time, I guess football in the rain will have to do :D

yeah, ya'll are gettin what we had out here. we had over 6" of rain. it was just bananas (b-a-n-a-n-a-s. sorry, i had to). may affect the bombers' game too. i'm sure there is a lot of anxiety in rsox nation right now. let's just hope it doesn't spread to the bronx by tomorrow.

Guys we are playing right now but I am about 60 miles outside the city and it is POURING. It should reach Boston within the hour so I have no idea how they intend to play this game. :uh:

Middle of the 6th, looks like the game is going to be official.

mid 8th for the bosox/chisox and score is still 4-3..

boston down 3-5. bottom 9th.

top of the 9th and the redsox look likem they are about to give up 5-3 and 2 outs, just got the 3rd. last licks coming up i really want the sox to come back and go out with some pride if they have to, el duque came in and put it on them real god

boston got swept. looks like its gonna be another long 86 years for you guys.

wow. the second celebration by the visitor within a week in fenway.

Welp congratulations White Sox and fans, you guys outplayed us in every facet of the game. Good luck in the ALCS.

Congratulations to the Chicago White Sox, its fans, the organization, and the city of Chicago.

The city of Chicago deserves some good news from baseball. Good luck in the ALCS.

i cant believe johnson just gave up a 3 run homer in the top of the 1st :mad: these pitchers make me sick :thumbdn:

tell me about it. hopefully he settles down

yanks came back from being down 5-0. LETS GO YANKS

yanks came back from being down 5-0. LETS GO YANKS

YEah, only to BLOW the game away again because Yankees relief pitching = :thumbdn:

HAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!!

ARE YOU GOING TO BLAME THAT ONE ON A CURSE?!


Any team can win it all but in the end, there is only one dynasty.

GO YANKEES

and tigers.


I told you so!

considering how close we are to bein' on our azzes ourselves, i'm not tryin' to hand it to red sox fans. maybe this rivalry that has gone on on such a big stage (the postseason) is done. the unit let us down last night. i'm goin out to this party tonight. the yanks being eliminated would be such a buzzkill. :thumbdn:

Thanks for the well wishes. Appreciate it guys, as does everyone who has been a lifelong White Sox fan.

Me, since the days of (1968) Wilbur Wood and Eddie Herman and Bill Melton (guy who won the 1972 HR title with 32 dingers). Had Richie Allen for a spell and even won Ugly one year (1983). Only to become Oriole toast.

There is still alot of work to do. Too much to mention, but previous Champions know the drill all too well! Right? all you Red Sox and Yankee and Brave fans. And trust me, we're not forgettin' about those Cardinal, Angel, or Astro fans either. (One of my co-workers is a huge Cardinal fan and we're both hopin' to meet in the WS...(shhhhhhhh)

The broom came out briefly and now it is history. Don't mean much when the next pitch is thrown a few days down the road. "Miles to go before we sleep"

GOOOO White Sox!

the unit didnt do what he was brought here to do win playoff games. we alwaysspend this money on pitchers who either get hurt or dont perform well on the bggest of stages and im tired of it.i knew we were in trouble whwn johnson was gettig smacked around in the 1st. now our season is hanging on chacon? im not buying that. we havent had god pitching since the rocket and petite left

Oh wow, they left a whole 2 years ago.... I feel so sorry for you :cry: :cry:

And always spending money on pitchers who don't perform in the clutch? huh? :uh: How many World Series titles don't you have?

im not looking for your sympathy or anyone elses for that matter if goerge an spend thats his right but why keep spending on 2nd tier pitchers in my opinion in the last couple of years and we have 26 and stil counting

the way i see it, we got johnson via a trade. we got rid of an arm that we just weren't gonna have (vasquez), and upgraded. yes, we didn't get what we were supposed to get out of rjohnson but
he did what he did and not much we can do about it. honestly, it was our bullpen that killed us.
that has been more of the story this year as far as our losses go. the back end of our bullpen is fine (even though it is aging a little). it's getting there that is the problem. with escobar and shields, the angels have two above average guys that can pretty much cover the 6th thru 8th innings. unfortunately for us, if we don't win this year, we go into next year and maybe get the middle relief pitching solidified, but gordon/rivera age another year, and it won't be long before their era's come to a close. tough times being a yankee fan right now. :thumbdn:
