Nah. Yaz was.

Ortiz is SICK. That's all there is to it. I think he lost some steam these past couple of weeks though. And A-Rod's 4/5 day, leading the team to the division, will make him the odds on favorite. But win or lose, BOTH of those guys have had incredible seasons. I wont pretend to take anything away from Ortiz when I say I think Arod will win it. Because it's not a question of one guy being good and the other one being a bum. They are both great, and I'd love to have them hitting third and fourth in my lineup. It's hasnt been this close in years. The Sox should have thrown Ortiz at first once in awhile to make it less of a choice. It's not like they had Mattingly playing first all season. But like I said, either way, I can see either of them winning. And I'd be ok with it no matter which way it goes.

Come on. Would that REALLY make you feel better? If it does, I truly feel sorry for you. I guess I didnt compliment the team enough. And you for that matter. Sorry. Seriously.

Yeah. I think you turned me on to this site. But it was just recently. Hey, I mean no disrespect to anyone. But after what some Sox fans put us through on our boards, I thought I'd drop by to see what was going on. I hope we play Analheiny so I can go to a couple of games out here. I went last year when Schilling pitched against the Angels. (That's the game he hurt his ankle in.) The Sox just KILLED Anaheim last year. It was a freakin' joke almost. Hopefully, we'll have the same shot at them.

Hey Emp!!!

Sorry for the double post.

Thanks! I love baseball first. And I got NO problem saying that the Sox are...and always have been...a great team. One of my favorite every players was Yaz. And Dewey. Possibly the most underrated outfielder in the history of the game. But hell, sometimes its fun just to yank chain! We, as Yankee and Red Sox fans, have a responsibility to show the rest of the world what baseball is all about. Dont we?

You guys amaze me. Really. PUBLISHED? Perhaps that's what YOU aspire to. I just made it up to screw around with you. I COULD have just said the Red Sox S**K. But since I dont believe that, I thought I'd have some fun with you guys. But you sorry New Englanders just cant get that stick they call Babe Ruth's bat out of your collective butts long enough to laugh at yourselves for a minute. I'd say that's pretty sad. Anyway, congrats on a great year. And good luck in the playoffs. I'm sure the Sox will get in.

Have a sense of humor. Ass. I respect the Sox and I love Boston. But sometimes, ya just have to lighten up. Oh, and I dont post on YES. Too many asses there.

How can you call them a disgrace? The season isnt over and they are still in contention. It's been a tough year for the Yankees and Red Sox because the division got better. NEVER say those guys didnt play their hearts out. They did. Winning last year has nothing to do with this year. You Boston fans have to learn what that means. It isnt easy to repeat. It's not something you should take for granted. Every winning season has it's own life. And fans need to respect what it takes to win. If you dont, you just are not much of a fan.

I have a TON of respect for Ortiz. And I'm a Yankee fan. I also like Manny. But as good as Ortiz has been, I think he lost a bit down the stretch. I'm not saying he choke. He just started playing like a normal human being. And Saturday's game for A-Rod probably put him over the top. I wouldnt be bummed if Ortiz won it. He's a sick SOB at the plate. But I think A-rod will edge him out because of the defense. And what he's done this week.

SUICIDE WATCH BOSTON (AP)- Gunstore owners and pharmacists were ordered to secure all of their merchandise as a suicide watch for the entire population of Boston was declared by the Governor of Massachusetts. The extraordinary action was taken because of the apparent collapse of the Boston Red Sox. The Sox, who once held a seemingly insurmountable lead over the resurgent New York Yankees are now only a half game ahead of their arch rivals, tied in the loss column with less than two weeks left in the season. Governor Milt Romney is concerned that a kool aide incident could leave the largest city in his state in ruins. "I've seen the effect this kind of choke can have on the City of Boston." Romney said. "You expect a couple of hundred jumpers a year during an average season. But after finally getting the Curse out of the way, I'm afraid they just wont be able to take another Sox choke in September." Mayor Thomas Menino echoed the Governor's concerns. "It's starting already." Menino said. "People are buying large quantities of rope and multiple bottles of Nyquil. I'm afraid this is going to be one of the biggest mass suicides in history." The mayor went on to say that one Boston resident drowned himself in a vat of Chowdah after last night's loss to the Devil Rays. "He just couldnt take it. He tied the shells from fifty cohaugs to his feet and jumped into a vat of Van de Kamp's chowdah. It wasnt pretty." the mayor said. The suicide watch is expected to last until after the upcoming Yankee/Red Sox series at the end of the season. It is anticipated that by the end of that series, the Red Sox will have squandered a chance to play in the post season. Arrangements have been made to bury many of the Red Sox Nation at the ballyard. Tickets for the funeral procession are available at Ticketron or selected mortuaries.
