Next Three Days: You Rooting For Yankees or Rangers?

[Dipre]

This is about where I am. First and foremost I root for the Sox to win. If that happens' date=' what happens in the NYY game is immaterial, so I want the Yankees to lose every night. That said, I won't begrudge anyone for rooting for this team's playoff chances if that makes them comfortable.[/quote']

 

All Yankee lovers are pink-hats.

We have a better chance at making the playoffs if we can make a push for winning the division. Logic: fighting for 2 spots has a great success rate than fighting for 1. Giving up on the Yankees is fighting for one spot, not 2.

 

Here's a HUGE fork in the whole "Oh, but it gives us more room in the WC race" argument: The Rays. They are arguably more dangerous and a bigger concern right now than Texas. We have to face them soon and they might bump ahead of Texas and give us a run. When you have 2 teams on your heal in the wild card, but only one ahead of you in the division, it's easier to make the playoffs by winning the division.

 

The closer we get to winning the division, the closer we get to the playoffs.

I'm sooooo glad the Rangers won today , if not we would of been 7 games back in the division , this way were only at 6

 

I mean our lead will be cut to 1.5 in the wild card but the plan is to pass the yankees and win the division

I couldn't have made my point with as much precision and scathing sarcasm myself. Good job.

I know. I'm not worried. You're one of my closer friends here, so if there's anyone who can say that without getting pimp slapped, it's you.

lulz.

I guess a prerequisite for being a tr00 Sox fan is to hate the Yankees, unconditionally, and view them as something more than a division opponent. I should be thinking of them as inhuman scumbags who helped orchestrate the anthrax attacks.

 

I remember being 10 years old and having that attitude. Then I grew pubic hair and realized that all my aimless Yankee hating was a waste of energy.

 

This thread is why I f***ing HATE fanboys.

 

Perfect response to this garbage:

 

The Sox lead the WC and don't need the Yanks to beat anybody to make the playoffs. And they are only 5.5 games out of the division lead. And it's August. There is absolutely no justification for a Red Sox fan to be rooting for the Yankees to win.

Perfect response to this garbage:

 

Lol.

 

Agreed.

[The_Destroyah]

really I just want whatever gets us into the playoffs, I passionately dislike the Yankees but if them winning allows us to play in October then I am fine with it, I wont root for them but Ill certainly root for whatever helps us.

Well said.. I agree 100%.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Let me put it this way, sport:

 

In what division do the Rangers play?

 

AL West, currently serve as our biggest threat for a playoff spot.

 

In what division do the Yankees play?

 

AL East.

 

By that logic, seeing as we're only 5.5 games out in the division.In August.And we still have games left with the Yankees.Who should be our priority?

 

Only 5.5 out?

 

If the Rangers (and Rays for that matter) lose and struggle toward the finish line, then we get the wild card. Which is a playoff spot. Much more feasible than hoping the Yankees implode down the stretch, and putting all your eggs in that basket. Once you're in the playoffs, you have as good a chance as any of the other seven teams to win it all.

 

Wow,logic.

 

It's awesome when you use it.

 

I agree. You should get right on that.
