The Bitter Rivals Thread

[tearforamariner]

I think today calls for a Yankee Man-like check list:

Mariners defeat the A's CHECK

Michigan gets upsetted by the Ducks CHECK

Boston loses ?????

Yankees lose ?????

Not a bad day thus far

[Sandman]

Crummy Sandman-Like Weekend Checklist:

Mets lose? Check
Fighting Irish lose? Check
Yankees win?
Jets lose?

this isn't shaping out to be a very good weekend

I'm just wondering if the refs in the game might just happen to be Oregon alumni?

Lousy calls all day.

Come on Yankee Man, you know the Ducks won fair and square.

You could say the same thing about the refs in the ND game. Horrible officiating.

Get back to baseball in this thread -- Use PM's to talk football.

Wildcard? <Yuk!>

The Yankees clinched at least the Wildcard today.

But the smart money is on the AL East title.


...and the BoSox are losing!

THIS IS POST 2118 its been 200 years since the
Red Sox won the world series(still the last one they have won). Meanwhile back in the present the cubs look like they are gonna make the playoffs.

[Sandman]

Uhhhh...1918 wasn't the only time they won the world series .

"They" would define improvement by, I don't know, say, winning more games than the previous season. Finishing closer to first place than the year before. How'd I do, ok?

I define improvement when:

Yanks beat TB, Andy gets 20, only gives up 1 whole run.

Bawston gets smacked around 13-4 by Cleveland, Williamson gets 5 ER. Hey, I thought Lowe was your #2.

Isn't it nice that the same team that spanked Beantown 7-0 at *your* house got wiped out today?

Now then, let's hear those mighty offensive stats again, Ken.

Being a Yankee Fan

I wonder how it feels to be a yankee fan, you pretty much know that your team is going to the playoffs every year. As a white sox fan u cherish the fact that the sox make the playoffs every 7 years or so

[SoxRule21]

My point is just cherish this moment cuz yankee fans are pretty spoiled, and i would kill for the sox just to get in the playoffs each year

[Chisox73]

At least they aren't Atlanta fans.The Braves don't even sell out their playoff games.

[Sandman]

As long as they can keep up the free spending attitude, their going to keep up the success.

Spoiled or not, I'd call myself very fortunate. However, are we more fortunate than Braves fans, who've made it 12 years straight?

Please don't confuse this with my being ornery or anything, but since the central division teams in both leagues are said to be baseball's weakest, then wouldn't simply playing much better baseball year round lead to more postseason games? Had it been the toughest, like the west coast, I could understand. Just winning lots of games would almost guarantee playoffs.

We play you guys this Monday. Your team will have a chance to state its case on the field, so best of luck to you.
