I look at it like this the Rockies got so jazzed up to play the yanks and sox they are just playing their world series now, which explains why they still wont make the playoffs, after these big series they just dont get pumped up for the games anymore.. Having no DH really changes the strategy when ive watched these interleague games.

Don't dismiss the Rockies so easily...they have the best record in baseball over the past month or so and they have won something like 6-7 series in a row.

Wow they have won 9 series in a row with a 4 game split with StL in the middle, pretty impressive. Hey ive watched a game in Coors field, nice place,great seating to watch a game, nice fans, just not real baseball to me, too family. This is the same team that was giving up Helton to the sox in the beginning of the year.

 

[FRITOLAYGUY]

Im curious the Mets who well wow are in a serious tailspin will be in Colorado July 4th weekend, im curious to see how many people they draw there on a weekend, versus the yankees selling out the place during the middle of the week, with the Rockies charging 75 dollars for a 37 dollar ticket, nice lol.

The rockies are turning there season around. They are young and starting to figure out that they are good. That said, With our payroll we have to hit the ball. Screw our bullpen get some runs.

If we loose a game when we score 7 then I will get after the pitching.

 

[FRITOLAYGUY]

I agree with ya, i think Jim and other Yankee fans will agree, the redsox are not really missing Damon, maybe last year but he is deteriorating right before our eyes now, i think hes done as a good player and fielder.

 

[tree_skier]

Dude cmon thats just a ridiculous statement, Jim knows im having fun with him and i expect a Post allstar break charge once again from the Yanks, another 9/10 or so.

and I just enjoy a little poking at yankee fans. Why, just look at this thread, They go on a short tear against the NL aka AAA and because they have won an ungodly amount of world series they

1. are the be all and end all of baseball
2. are still the best team in all of baseball
3. will just turn it on on thier schedule and blow past not only the 5 teams ahead of them for the wildcard but the team with the best record in baseball for the division

Now lets look at the Yanks

Offense - very good - one of the best in the league with 2 negatives Giambi off the juice is not producing and maybe out for the year anyway and Damon who's big offense has allways been speed has bum wheels.

Defense Jeter - one of the best current if not all time
Matsui- very good
Posada - very good
Mientkiewicz excellent defense week offense oops on DL
A-rod - week
Damon the statement looks like jesus throws like mary is pretty accurate

Starters

Wang is doing quite well
Petite and Mussina are not having good years
Clemens is YTBD but he has only been a 5 or 6 inning pitcher the last few years and then on to the bullpen

Bullpen - beside Rivera who is at the end of a great carreer but isn't the pitcher he was even a couple of years ago. Who is in there


Thus pitching is why they are done and probably won't even challange for a wild card. I would love to see them have another playoff series with the sox. The last one was fantastick, even better then the sox's world series win. When they are both playing well the best game in baseball is sox/yanks, even reg season

Hey to say they will win the AL east will be hard but i still dont count them out yet, if its 10games on August 15th then i will, but to say they are out of the wildcard race , cmon, Detroit and Cleveland have tons of games left with eachother, they will just beating eachother, what im saying is if they have 10games left and go 5-5 against eachother and the yanks go 8-2 during that time they make on 3 games on whoever is in the Wild card lead. Seattle, forget it, Minnesota, well they have a great pitcher and have been there before but im not sold on them, Oakland well they are so so. I see the yankees only having to overtake 1 team, cleveland or Detroit not 5!

I agree 1 run a game is not acceptable.

But they've been so hot lately and the odds are the odds...they aren't going to have a team .350 average even if they're paid like they should.

So, when you only score a run a game you need a shut-out to win. Which I know is also unrealistic.

You're forgetting something...when you're 10 games out you have nothing to lose and you have even less to root for.

I hope it crossed your mind that all we have left is poking some fun at Bosox fans who might actually take all that trash talk seriously.

Cause I don't think like what you wrote. Without the other teams to beat, the Yanks couldn't be the be all and end all of baseball.

Clemens will win some games.

LOL your funny jim, ya hes looking a little like phil mickelson.

 

[FRITOLAYGUY]

Hmmm Jeter just worked a real good walk, gets on first, tries stealing decides after 5 steps he wont make it, just got caught in a run down, that pretty much sums up the yankees road trip so far.

 

[JimG.]

LOL your funny jim, ya hes looking a little like phil mickelson.

Oh yeah, Phil looked like a blimp at the Open...played like one too with the inflated scores.

 

[FRITOLAYGUY]

and he looks a little winded today, 91mph was the fastest for him, cant get above that, hes kinda bright red and looks a little out of it but made it thru the 1st.

 

[FRITOLAYGUY]

2-0 Yanks matsui with a that ball is high, it is far, it is gonnneeeeee to right

 

[FRITOLAYGUY]

Clemens doesnt even go 5 innings, hes outta there after 4 1/3rd

 

[FRITOLAYGUY]

I don't miss him at all this season or last ..Now CoCo, I love watching him play CF.

Yes i love watching him play center also, i dont like watching him bat however, no batting gloves on, twitching all over the place, not hitting for a good average, yuck
