We're in Yankee Stadium for the next three days taking on a team that has had more injuries and mishaps than we have and yet are in second place in the AL East while we're sucking wind at the bottom of the pile. However, to me these games do make a difference. I don't want to look up at the end of the season and see the Yanks winning the season series 14-4 or 13-5 or even 12-6. Tonight it's Kelly vs Greene which seems an even match up.

 

I would like to say the Red Sox are playing for pride but that might be a canard since it doesn't seem to have been part of the team's persona all this season, but the fact that we can throw a serious monkey wrench in New York's chances of getting to the post-season should offer us some inspiration.....and I'd like to see for once this season Farrell holding his own or out managing Joe Girardi. As I said this game could shape up as an even match so I would like the team to finally give that 150% that I haven't seen much of this season and win that game tonight. I'd like to believe we have a decent chance tonight.

I am enjoying the Jeter suck-fest in his final season. I am also glad that he is such a prima dona that he insists on playing SS every night even though there are 2 Shortstops better than him on the team, and that Girardi doesn't have the buts to sit him down. Edited by a700hitter

The Sox are finally putting that final nail in the coffin. Good. That means we should stop f***ing around with our injured pitchers and make the right decisions in shutting them down. Let Jeter close out his final season at SS. There is no harm in it at all. They made their bed when they gave him a raise coming off his shattered ankle. He's a shell of himself, but he's the only marketable thing going for this team right now.

The funny thing about Jeter is that he is posting his best UZR/150 since 2011. Depending on what site you believer, Jeter is either a replacement level player or below replacement level this yr. The thing that is so glaring about Jeter is the fact that his offense has died. And it isn't bad luck. His BABIP is exactly .300. He has no power at all and because he isn't fearful in the batters box anymore, he isn't drawing walks. This season and last were the goodbye's to the generational talents in the Yankee dynasty yrs. After Jeter, there isn't a single player who holds sentimental value on the Yankees.

The sox are tied for the 6th worst record in baseball, meaning they should get the 7th pick next yr (Houston didn't sign Aiken, so they get pick #2 next yr). The sox are 7 games up on the worst team (Texas) so they cant really catch them. But they are only 1.5 up on Houston and 3 up on Arizona. A full out tank gets them a top 5 pick
