Never seen so many pitching snafus in my life.
The Sox are not done yet, we just havnt been cooperating, they`ve been winning lately, and when they get the other 2/3 of the outfield back.

All that being said the only way the Yankees don't win the east is they totally just stop hitting homeruns, or the pitching completely falls off.

Curtis GranderK is really killing things lately. It is time for K-Long to work with him on strike zone recognition.

We will take him back, you can have Delmon Young for him.

Hoping C.C. doesn't have his best of nights tonight. ;)

Yeah, you're right. Nobody gets tired in the dog days of August, and everybody else seems to hammer those two journeymen all over the ballpark.

Not sure if he's a WASP, but I think Darrell (skywalker) would! :D



Is there a Bravo Smiley?

All this talk about the Yanks not being able to win with the long ball is silly!
First off, none of the Rotations of the playoff contenders is deep this year!
They may have an ace, but after that, they all get shaky.
The two teams everyone is worried about, Detroit and the Angels, haven't been able to get out of their own way this year.
Why? Because their pitching isn't as good as it has been.
People forget, both those teams are now Slugging teams.
The small ball Angels are gone!!!
And Detroit didn't bring Prince Fielder in to bunt!
Typically, the're going to have to out slug the Yanks to win!
Also, remember this year the wildcards play a 1 game playoff, to see who gets in.
Which means if it's those two teams, one will be eliminated.
That also means, If its one of those teams and the Orioles, well its a 1 game playoff, anything can happen!!
Just relax, you are all but guaranteed October baseball!!!
How many Met fans would give their left nut to say that?

And that's why we love him.
