Had to say it!

Who won the division baby? Yanks are never crippled! Boston seems to be crippled though!

Here is a fact:

RS are increasing in value and talent while the Spankees and their stupid Band Box of a ball park are tanking like a tech stock in 2000....

Without Texeira the line up is middle of the road at best.
"increasing in value and talent"

AL East Champions and the ded sox are fighting for their lives the last two days of the season. Man, I really hope they gey bounced out!

Rays just took a 5-3 lead on NY.

Im hoping they take it to a game tomorrow. If Lester should keep them alive for one more day we're going to get a sudden death game in Tampa Thursday at 4:00. The Rays are 12-6 against the Sox this year and are playing much better baseball. Thats a game I would pay a lot of money to attend. To see the sox go down and choke in a 1 game playoff......priceless!

can't say i agree with this....i'm hoping for dagger-in-heart tonight. makes the collapse all the more dramatic and definitive, since it will not have required a 163rd game to complete.

more dramatic then a a sudden death, winner take all playoff game? OK. you're certainly entitled to that opinion.

We are in agreement though, just different means to the end.

my point was that to be denied the possibility of a dramatic winner-take-all game, regardless of the outcome, would be even more humiliating for the red sox after having been up by 9.

one thing to "earn" a tiebreaker and lose vs. blowing the greatest lead for the postseason without even having had the opportunity to take advantage of a tiebreaker to salvage the season.

fingers crossed.

Pretty amazing it all comes down to the last game of the season. If Boston doesn't make it then it will certainly go down as one of the greatest collapses in baseball though it still isn't as bad as the Mets collapse. The Mets had a 7 game lead in 2007 and lost it in 17 games. The Mets suffered a historic collapse by losing 12 of their last 17 games.

A recent quote from another member recently.
"I agree it is pathetic! Oh yeah and We (red sox) will see you yanks in october."

The only way the Ded Sox see the Yanks in October is if they buy tickets to a game.

Forget the postseason and watch Derek jeter crawl across the finish line to 3000. Btw sabathia will opt out and leave.
Seems your crystal ball is out of tune.

gotta disagree with you gary......what just happened was EPIC and historically awful (or, good, ). a link to this boston area article was posted in the other thread, and i thought i'd cut-and-paste the text below.

a glorious day!!



Historic choke ends Red Sox season

One strike away from going to a playoff game, the Red Sox early on Thursday put an exclamation point on the worst collapse in the history of Major League Baseball.

Boston had a 3-2 lead over the last-place Baltimore Orioles with two outs in the ninth inning, and closerJonathan Papelbon on the mound, but the Orioles hit two doubles and a single to win the game, 4-3.

Free agent bust Carl Crawford appearedto have a chance at a game-saving catch, but couldn't hold the ball.

Minutes later, the Tampa Bay Rays completed a comeback from a 7-0 deficit in the eighth inning to beat the Yankees, 8-7, on Evan Longoria's second homerun in two at-bats.

The Rays were one pitch away from losing in the ninth inning when pinch hitter Dan Johnson hit a tying homerun. It was his first hit since April.

The Red Sox were in first place on Sept.1. They are the first team ever to blow a nine-game lead so late in the season.

Just love it! Curious as to why the original posters aren't chiming in. It would seem only gentlemanly to concede defeat.
Go Yanks!

oy....a-rod, tex, swish.....what a frustrating game. c'est la vie. it was a good season, even if it didn't end well.

is nova heading for tommy john? CC opting out? swish's option? a-rod's body? 1st half or 2nd half jeter? garcia/colon? turn around for hughes? cashman??

should be an interesting off-season and 2012!
