I really have no idea. It's just great baseball. I mean if Rays win' date=' tie atop the division, but in the long run I think there is a better chance that the Sox catch (or at least come closer to catching) the Rays than the Yanks.[/quote']

 

All good points. I was just curious.

[yankees228]

Huge spot for Boone Logan.

 

EDIT: And he does an excellent job.

Who are you rooting for?

 

 

 

I'm rooting for the stadium to collapse.

I'm rooting for the stadium to collapse.

 

Definitely the easiest way for the Sox to get to first place lol.

[yankees228]

Benoit is fantastic.

[CoachC.]

Nearly 40% of Benoit's batters have been retired via the swinging strikeout

[yankees228]

Great inning for Robertson.

 

Now would be a nice time for number 600.

[yankees228]

One of these days A-Rod is going to square one of these great pitches to hit. He's awful right now.

[yankees228]

Wow, Robbie is having himself a day.

[Divinity]

Cano crushed it

[Divinity]

It'll be close between Miguel Cabrera and Robinson Cano for the AL MVP this year

[italstallianion]

I'm actually ok with that. (Even though I own Soriano in one of my leagues)

[yankees228]

But now we'll see if the Yankees pay for under using Mo.

[yankees228]

Excellent. Really happy about this win.

[italstallianion]

So the stadium didn't collapse? ;(

Haha you can hold out hope for tomorrow.

[italstallianion]

Christmas has to come sometime. If nothing else, there will be countless plane trips.

Josh Hamilton? He is very deserving of MVP consideration as well.

I'd have to give it to Cabrera now, although I agree, it's down to Cabrera, Hamilton, and Cano.

But now we'll see if the Yankees pay for under using Mo.

 

He'll be fresh for the playoffs. I dont have too many qualms about Joe's usage of Mo this yr. I do have a lot of qualms with how he utilized Joba well past his effectiveness as his setup man.

 

Regardless, big win. ARod continues to shrink as he nears a milestone and Berkman looked a bit jumpy. Once ARod finally hits one out, our offense should start clicking more regularly. For now, he's a black hole

[jacksonianmarch]

And in terms of MVP, I gotta go with Hamilton. Being on a first place team means something. The guy is hitting .362 with an OPS over 1.000 for a first place club. Cabrera has been the better player, but Hamilton has been more "valuable".

[yankees228]

And the Yankees continue to struggle with runners at third and less than two outs. Quite a contrast between them and the Rays in that department.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Thank god A-Rod isn't in the starting lineup. Went 0-4 yesterday and is now 9 games and 42 at bats without a home run. ESPN better not even mention him today or I'm going to be pissed.

[yankees228]

CC going to his fourth best pitch too much.

[yankees228]

And that's why there's no reason to sacrifice defense in an important game.

 

EDIT: Such a shame that Girardi doesn't field his best team in a game that matters this much in the standings.

[yankees228]

I really hate Girardi.

[yankees228]

So unlucky thus far.

[jacksonianmarch]

An all arm looping GR double by Aybar. A looper off the glove of Berkman that should have been caught leads to run #1, then a missed pick at 1st leads to run #2. CC hasnt been great, but he hasnt been as bad as his line would indicate. Also, this team cannot hit a change

[jacksonianmarch]

This might be the most unlucky game of CC's career. The Rays have hit one ball hard yet keep getting bloopers and dunkers to fall in or they beat them out
