Guest Biggles Report post Posted October 1, 2005 Is anyone else sick and tired of this series? Look, I cannot deny that this weekend is one of the most monumental series in a long while, but in general, I find the media fascination and the different spins on the series tedious. Really, it's two evil empires battling each other framed in a geographic dispute that should concern only the supersized egos, profanities and insecurities of their local fan bases. This is probably a very poor moment for this rant, but here's what I mean - look at the lineups: New York Boston Jeter - Farmhand Damon - Free Agent via KC, OAK A-Rod - Free Agent via TX, SEA Renteria - Free Agent via STL Giambi - Free Agent via OAK Ortiz - Free Agent via MIN Sheffield - Free Agent via Ramirez - Free Agent via CLE Matsui - Free Agent via Japan Millar - Free Agent via FLA Cano - Farmhand Mueller - Free Agent via ... Martinez - Free Agent via SEA Varitek - Farmhand Williams - Farmhand Nixon - Farmhand Posada - Farmhand Graffanino - Free Agent via ... Johnson - Free Agent via AZ Schilling - Free Agent via AZ With rare exception, starting pitching for both clubs was bought from less fortunate teams. Stop painting Boston as any different than NY. In fact, I'd say they are worse parasites than the Yanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2005 Silly me, I thought the score was the only thing that truly mattered at the end of the day. I suppose you guys would prefer to be the ones down 7-3 if it meant having an expanded strikezone for your pitchers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2005 Congrats to the Boston Red Sox for winning the AL east. I do not trust the Yankees especially after last years ending. I personally want to thank Jorge Posada for striking out with the bases loaded with one out and for grounding out with runners at 2nd and 3rd with one out. Congrats to your AL east champion Red Sox. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beast 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2005 So, I've just heard the Yankees have won the East, even though they are one game up with one game left to play. How is that possible? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2005 So, I've just heard the Yankees have won the East, even though they are one game up with one game left to play. How is that possible? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The Yankees have 95 wins. Only the Sox can catch them, and not the Indians. If the Yankees and Red Sox end up tied, there is no possibility the Indians would match them, so both teams would advance to the playoffs. The team with the better head to head matchup would win the division, and the Yankees clinched that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheDon Report post Posted October 1, 2005 Al I hope you know I wrote that to Jinx the Red Sox. Have you ever even heard of sarcasm???? Congrats to the Yankees for making it to the Playoffs for the 11th straight season and for the 8th straight AL east title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beast 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2005 I just assumed that if the Sox and Yankees finished tied, they'd have a playoff to see who won the division. It doesn't seem right to see the Yankees celebrating about winning their 8th straight division championship when the Sox could finish tied with them. When the Giants and Dodgers had their playoff games in the 50s and 60s, it didn't matter who won the season series. And I'm not biased as a Sox fan, I could care less what team it was, it just seems weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The way it actually shook down is completely logical and normal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KingPK 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2005 Sox only have themselves to blame for this one. It isn't a 1978-level choke, but not winning a single H2H series against the Yankees in the second half (unless there was one between the 4-game after the ASB and the last one at Yankee Stadium I'm forgetting) led to this. But, honestly, why the fuck start Millar? I like how Buck said "With Millar, Francona sacrifices defense...." and never finished the thought because he probably couldn't think of anything Millar brings to the table. Power? Uh-uh Production? Only 50 RBIs Speed? HA! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
