Back to the series...... Care to make predictions? TRYING to be a unbiased baseball fan is tough, but I predict the Sox take the series in five games. Compared to last year, the Sox starting pitching, defense, bullpen (especially closer) and bench depth are MUCH better than last year, and this Yankee team is not as good as they were a year ago. |

What pisses me off is that IF the Sox won in five, I would not be in this thread laughing at Yankee fans or taunting you, I'd be talking about the games. You seem to have a hard time grasping that concept. Go back to your "Who's your daddy" posts. They serve you well. |

They just know that there team (bandwagoners) won the game and know nothing else about the game.
This is why it is not good to get into any type of decussions/debates on IM anymore cause it just doesn't happen. A while ago IM was a better place and better people, now with all the influx of people that have no knowledge of anything, it is going to the shitter |

You want to discuss the games? What's there to discuss? We beat you at your own strength? Our pitchers were better. End of story. I won't go any further into this with you, but I stick by my point. I respected your team. You thought that the team with the best record in the AL, the team that led the majors in come-from-behind victories, the team that played your sox dead even during the regular season (except for the horrible start, but we are very far removed from that), the team that handed those very dangerous Twins their asses, you thought that team would just bend over for your "mighty" Sox. Argue all you want, but you had no factual basis to think the Sox could nearly sweep a team like that. |

And how the fuck are you gonna say, "they would have swept us if everything went right"? What the fuck does that mean? Are you talking about some ideal hypothetical situation for the Sox? Then why stop there, "if everything went right" they would never have sold Babe Ruth. If everything went right they wouldn't have been without a championship since 1918. That is truly an asinine thing to say, "old timer". |

Listen buddy, i'm a diehard yanks fan and i must say going into this series i was worried. the sox by far have the superior pitching staff (which it hasn't performed up to) we had all kinds of problems in the last few weeks of the season (went from 10 games up to only 3) they had the most potent offense in baseball this year and yet you think that my comments are asinine? Yes, we have won the first 2 games but this series is far from over. |

Arroyo is the wildcard, you never know what you are gonna get from him, could be good, could be bad. Our key is to have Browney go out and pitch at least 7 solid innings in game 3. I feel that game is just as important as us winning in game 2. would take the crowd/city out of the series |
