Here comes 1978 Redux

 

With the way this team is playing I wouldn't be the least bit surprised either.

 

And if it happens, I fully expect 100% attendance from this board (if possible) in vocalizing our displeasure with Theo on Yawkey Way.

And Accardo hits A-Rod to start the 10th. GREAT JOB!
Janssen, not Accardo.

 

Hey, better than letting him hit #33. As Matsui JUST misses the walkoff shot.

the yankees are not dead because the sox have decided to go belly up. 21-22 in the last 43 is inexcuseable for "the best team in baseball".

 

You're not telling me anything new. The Red Sox suck right now. Instead of nailing the Yanks' coffin shut, we're leaving them on life support. Soon enough they'll come out of the coma. I'm not willing to wait around and let that happen.

 

Luckily, the Yankees have sucked pretty much just as badly as the Sox have. That's why we're still up as much as we are. If we were in any other division, we would be looking up from third place (at the Angels/Mariners and Tigers/Guardians).

actually, since June 3rd, the yankees have the 4th best record in baseball, right around .625 win %. They have shown life, but the hole they were put in SHOULD have been fatal. But with the sox on the snide against awful competition and the yankees having a joke of a schedule into mid August, there looks like the pennant race might be returning.

 

I said before, that the only way the yankees could come back was if the sox faltered. It was no longer a factor that the yankees controlled. And I didnt think it could happen with Schilling, DMats, and Beckett throwing lights out (at the time) and Wakefield being effective. Hell, even Tavarez had a string where he was solid. While our pitching was Pettitte, Wang and pray for rain. And with Manny and Papi not getting on a roll yet, I figured the sox were primed to improve. But Schill fell apart then went on the DL (which I am skeptical was due to an actual injury), Wakefield started to resemble a batting tee, and Tavarez fell apart.

 

Now the roles are reversed. Clemens is pitching well, Mussina is improving, Pettitte is back on track, and Wang is pitching like the ace he is. If Hughes comes back strong, then they could have one hell of a 5. But even with the 7 game deficit in the L column, the yankees STILL need help. So, if the sox get their s*** straight, then they should be fine. But they will need the real Schilling to return.

... just remember that pretty much every single Sox fan on this site told you that it wasn't over when you were cashing in your season. Just sayin.

 

guess I had more faith in the sox than you guys did.
