    As you know, I live among the Yankees fans in NY. One of my best friends, a big Yankee fan, told me that when the umps huddled and reversed those calls, that is when he knew the Sox would finally win. He said that up to that point in his memory, the Yankees had always benefited from blown calls.

    We have nothing to matchup with their needs which are in the pitching department.

    It's the MFY's. With the exception of the two reversed calls in game 6 of the 2004 ALCS, they always get the calls.

    The problem with the 2012 team was definitely not that they were old. The 2012 Yankees are old, but that has not been a problem for them. The problem with the 2012 Red Sox was that they stunk-- plain ans simple. The solution is going younger. The solution is getting good players both veterans and young players. It's probably easier to make some good choices trading and signing good veterans than fixing a lousy farm system. They will need to do both but the latter will take time.

    I am not convinced that Aviles is a good hitter. He's not even as good as Scutaro.
  6. a700hitter
    Not to pick nits but Ortiz was only 28 in 2004. Almost the entire pitching staff was 31 and over and there was a lot of money invested in them.
  7. a700hitter
    It's just not an effective argument to bring up Jeter as being in anyway analogous to the Red Sox SS situation with Aviles. I realize that you didn't compare them offensively, but Aviles doesn't compare, not even remotely, to Jeter in any aspect of the game so bringing up Jeter's name in stating your position does not strengthen your argument.

    Cherington in an interview in today's Globe discussed how the FO had strayed from its discipline. He didn't mean that they were relying on high price veterans and free agents at the expense of more young home grown players. He clearly stated that there has been a big problem of not bringing in the right big priced veterans. The article states that: and The 2004 team had a number of players 31 and over including: Varitek, Millar, Mueller, Manny, 4 the team's 5 starting pitchers and almost the entire bullpen. More than half of the 25 man roster in 2007 was 31 and over.

    I am as big a Yankee hater as there is, but to compare any aspect of Mike Aviles' game to Derek Jeter is pure foolishness. Aviles is a hack who shouldn't be starting at SS for any MLB team.

    If Ellsbury slid properly with his arms and hands in front of him and in the air, he would not have dislocated his shoulder. He put himself in a vulnerable position with a slide that was fundamentally very poor.
  11. a700hitter
    Me too and age has mellowed me.
  12. a700hitter
    I can see the Sox big off season acquisition being this puke Descalso. He'll be this year's Punto.
  13. a700hitter
    Storen was having a heart attack. He needed a diaper on the mound. f***ing loser.
  14. a700hitter
    it's good to weed out the chokers before going to the NLCS. I would throw my TV out the window if I had to watch the Nats choke away a WS to the Skanks if they get that far.
  15. a700hitter
    They finished 9th out of 16 in attendance. The Cubs with 101 losses and the Rockies with 98 losses outdrew the Nats.
  16. a700hitter
    The Cards are doing to the Nats what they did to the Rangers in the WS last year.
  17. a700hitter
    Hey, do you know what October is to us Red Sox fans? Football season.
  18. a700hitter
    Oh Boy-- a game of inches.
  19. a700hitter
    I think the Ump should have rung up Freese on the check swing.
  20. a700hitter
    Pettitte will blow up in this series. That should get us off to a good start.
  21. a700hitter
    Who are you addressing.
  22. a700hitter
    I wish I was feeling it. I honestly don't know how this series will go. If the Yankees continue hitting like they have been, they will be in big trouble. Hopefully, they will stay in their collective slump.
  23. a700hitter
    This was an easy call. CC is a true ace-- a horse. We haven't had anyone like that since Schilling and Pedro.
  24. a700hitter
    Hopefully, there will be some reverse lock thing working tonight.
  25. a700hitter
    The O's prolonged the inevitable last night. At least they will burn up CC so he can't start game 1 of the ALCS. The O's threw away game 3. That was the must game for them. I don't think they can beat CC, who always steps it up in the big spots. I really am surprised that the Yanks didn't light up Saunders.
