Look at it this way, the Rays are 6 games behind the Sox for the Wild Card which is only 1/2 a game more than the Sox deficit for the AL East. . .

Gimme an S!
Gimme a W!
(hey, that\'s my initials...)
Gimme an E!
Gimme another E!
Gimme a P!
What\'s that spell?

SWEEP. The Sox get the Yankees right when they need them. 3 guaranteed Sox victories! Aggregate score of series: Sox 16-6.

Very nice 5-3 victory for the Sox to open the series. Lowe pitched a very good game! Didn\'t like Foulke loading the bases and allowing a run, but he got out of it and got the save. Nomar 2-5 with HR, 3 RBI, and some nice field work, oh yeah. Sox now 7-1 against the Yankees...wow. Too bad they can\'t beat up on everyone else like this.

The thing about sequels is that the endings can be so predictable:

Spider-Man 2? Don\'t want to spoil it, though I\'m betting many of you will be among the millions to see it this long weekend.

Red Sox choking? A night after they booted the game away (E-6 from the Garciaparra Goblin), it was the same story, different villain -- E-3 from "Doc Rock-Hands," David Ortiz, that gave way to a seventh-inning Yankees rally and W.

What\'s more daunting to the competition: S-M2\'s box-office haul ... or New York\'s ever-expanding (7.5-game) division lead?

Wolfman · « **Reply #203 on:** July 01, 2004, 03:00:28 pm »

There\'s nothing daunting about the Yankees\' 7.5 game lead at all. I\'ve been thinking Wild Card ever since Aaron Boone rounded second base.

:jawdrop: OMG IS JETER SERIOUS??!?!?! :holyshit:

Seriously injured, sure.

Well, not everyone in the Yankee organization was on top of their game last night. WFAN just replayed John Sterling and Charlie Steiner\'s radio call of the seeming triple play in the eleventh. It took them over two minutes two figure out why it wasn\'t a triple play. When it first happened, Steiner called "TRIPLE PLAY! TRIPLE PLAY! TRIPLE PLAY!" :lol: Then during the commotion afterwards they still could not figure out that Ramirez had been put out "twice" heading from 2nd to 3rd. The Sox\' next batter came up, it\'s about 2 minutes after the play, and Sterling says, "Can someone please tell me how that\'s not a triple play?" :lol: Then on Flaherty\'s hit, Steiner called it "GONE!" even though it was about 10 feet short of the wall. :lol: Funny stuff, I can\'t believe they missed the triple play call that badly.

I wonder how the Sox radio guys called it. I would take a lot of solace in knowing that the Sox can beat the Yankees in the broadcast booth.

Trying To Look On The Bright Side

What are you gonna do Pec, say I-told-ya-so because the Yankees beat the Red Sox? You might as well get in my eye because the sun came up.

In all seriousness, Nomar needs to be traded tomorrow for a Double-A pitcher and a bucket of baseballs. He doesn\'t want to play now and there\'s no long-term prospects whatsoever. The rest of the team did play an amazing game and never gave up. They went tooth-and-nail with a superior team, in a hostile environment, for 13 innings. I was one of the few people in Boston who never wanted to trade Nomar this past offseason. My quote was "Nomar bleeds red, A-Rod bleeds green." I wanted Nomar to stay and didn\'t care for A-Rod while most of Boston was gaga about the deal. Well, A-Rod still bleeds green but Nomar has gone from red to yellow. Trade him now while you can still get anything for him.

The Yankees have won the division, but once October rolls around, it doesn\'t matter who won the division. I still have no doubts that these two teams will be duking it out again in the ALCS. This is far from over!

But we already know what\'s going to happen, don\'t we?
