Hmm... No Pedro, Cabrera, D-Lowe, Schilling (except for 3 quality starts) and Foulke (6+ ERA). And 95 wins. Choking? Are you serious?

Almost 10 games in first place at the start of August, didn't win the division.
If they choked any harder they'd barf.

The difference is... they are in the playoffs even WITH choking.
What I want to know is, what is the Yanks' excuse for not locking this up weeks ago?
Oh, and while some people know how many championships the Yanks have won... EVERYONE knows how many playoff games they lost in a row last year...
Let's hope history repeats itself!

The Yanks were terrible until the last 3 weeks of the season...it's a miracle they did win the division! So, you feel the Yanks won the division instead of the Sox tossing it? Nice try.
They did the Sox a favor by winning the division too, now your boys can go beat up on the White Sox instead of struggling against the Angels. You're welcome!
And we all know how many championships the Sox have won in the past 87 years...1.
My only hope is that the ALCS is Yanks/Sox. If not, my interest in the sport is over for the year.

Championships (ALCS) or World Series ?

Still amazes me it's the "World" Series. Since when was Toronto representative of the whole world? And while we're on the subjects, how do the Patriots get to be World Champions? Yet, the US soccer teams are ranked what, 8th in the world (for real), and no one notices.

Excuse my faux pas; World Series of course.

Well... it used to be both Toronto AND Montreal....
RE Pats: Because the U.S. is the only country in the world that plays this.

Huh? 10 games? Umm... actually 5 1/2. And that was before an unprecedented 30 days in a row w/o a day off. Yankees went 16-4 over their last 20. The Sox had the 3rd-best record in the majors over the last stretch of the year (40 games, I think). Hardly a choke.
If you want a choke, go to Cleveland. Batted .125 with RISP over their last 7 games, losing five one-run games.

First off...about the Red Sox.....
AAARRRGGGHHHHH!!
Second.
The Yankees won the division this year BECAUSE of the wild card. If there were no Wild Card, there would have been a 1 game play-off. In other words...the Yankees were GIVEN the division b/c both teams made the play-offs.
All I can picture in my head right now is that Yankee cap on Frodo's head. :wink:
Have I mentioned.....

I am not a really big fan of baseball, but I am a Yankee fan. Personally it would be nice to see the White Socks win the World Series, after all it's been a long time since they last won in 1917, and they like Boston deserve there turn.

If that does happen, I hope that Red Sox fans can tip their hats like the Cardinals fans did last year...loafer89 said:
Hold on...Boston sports fans being gracious? What am I thinking? :blink:

No thanks, I avoid Cleveland as much as possible. I'm glad the White Sox swept them the last weekend.
The 0-2 hole is just the set-up like I posted before. Now the White Sox wake up and realize where they are.
The Red Sox really like to live on the edge, don't they?

I'd really rather not, but that does seem to be our fate. Last 3 times facing a sweep for the Sox? Cleveland in 1999--we won the series; Oakland in 2003--we won the series; New York in 2004--we won the series. 11-2 when facing a must-win since '99.
Let's do it again!
