I'm obsessed with Princess Leia in that outfit she wore when she was tied to Joba. Wow...

How can you say your team overachieved? Are you drinking a little too much of that Sam Adams you guys brew up there?

Amen, brother.

Only now, when it is too late....do you understand the power of home-field advantage...

Hey Mary baby...how ya doin? I love women. I'd love to love you too.

I will give you ORS, frozen in 1918. You will be well compensated if he doesn't survive.

Funny, I don't remember talking to you.

I want an award! Most hookers tormented!

You're right. Wakefield scares me as much as Johan. You win that game, there is no game 7.

Yeah, you're right. With a rotation of Santana, Beckett, Dice-K and Lester, you would have been swept. I'm sure Santana wouldn't have been able to give you more than Byrd in the first round or Wakefield in the second round.

The Twins wanted either Lester OR Buchholz. Do I think the Red Sox would be better with Santana instead of Ellsbury, Buchholz, Masterson, and Lowrie. Without a shadow of a doubt, yes. Game 1 of the WS would be in Boston.

Varitek will not retire IMO. Expect Varitek to sign a contract elsewhere if he wants to be a starter, but as a backup catcher, I can't see him anywhere but Boston.

Yes...after years of searching, I may have finally found an apprentice. There can only be two...a master and an apprentice. Join me Kalas....together we can rid the world of this scourge called Talksox. Weak, pathetic fools...

I hope we trade this douche [Hughes] for Peavy. If there is one thing I hope Cashman learned is not to go with rookies in the rotation ever again. I love how Cashman is now going after the players this year instead of last year. All that's happened this year from last year is this: Misses: The run of post-season appearances end with a 3rd place finish. The Yankees are not as attractive a destination to free agents due to the emergence of Tampa and the continued high-level playing of Boston. The major impact players in the farm system all took a step back, some of them huge [Hughes, Kennedy, Jackson]. The current crop that is the nucleus of the team got older and is more susceptible to decline [Jeter, Arod, Posada, Mariano, Pettitte]. Did not sign the 1st or 3rd round picks from this draft, and the 2nd pick needs surgery. Hits: Traded prospects for Nady and Marte. Possible emergence of Coke as 7th inning reliever. The sad thing is that you're preaching the same failed policy. I have no problem with patience for young players. However, another opportunity may exist to get another ace pitcher in his prime. However, to get him, you will have to probably sacrifice more in prospects due to his contract situation, and his desire to play elsewhere. Also, it is not a must-trade for San Diego. You have a lot more variables, pitcher park, weak NL West division, etc. Peavy is more of a risk than Johan, and you will have to give up more to get him than Johan. Also, you will give up draft picks galore to sign these players the Yankees are targeting. I can understand not wanting to give up a prospect [like Kennedy, even though any sane baseball person will tell you he's a non-prospect] for say a Fuentes. I don't agree with it, but I can see the logic. To get an ace starting pitcher in his prime? That's another story. Jacko, seriously, look at young pitchers as penny stocks. They're a dime a dozen, most don't amount to anything, and once in a while, you'll find a gem. Take a look at last year. Most Red Sox fans [and probably members of their front office as well] favored Buchholz over Lester. The Yankees #3 on the future trio was Chamberlain. Huhges was #1, followed by Kennedy. We see how that worked out. Now this year you're touting Coke and Robertson as mainstays. There is a baseball saying: "Young pitchers will break your heart". As Yogi said... "It's deja vu all over again."

How old are you, 14?

Seriously, I want to ask you this: If you had your choice, losing like this in the 7th game, would you have gone back and changed the result for game 5? In other words, would you rather have lost 7-0 at home in game 5, or comeback and then lose game 7? Just curious.

Amen.

Smarmy ****? I like that one.

Great post. I can't say that your team didn't impress me. What a comeback, what a series. This one had it all.

Go back to the first page of this thread Kilo. I did it out of respect for what others did for something that meant something to me. For that reason, I won't comment on your team's season ending as most Yankee fans would. Good season, great series. That is all.
