[Xenophon]

Xeno, I want YOU guys in the WS.

Two bandboxes, lots of HR's...could make a great series.

If its up to me, we will be there.

Y'all are in first now ...

 

[Xenophon]

YANKEES now in first all alone, as NY defeats the Baltimore 6-4 and the Red sox fall to Texas again.

First time I could say that on USMB, feels good after all the abuse I had to endure from the beantowners.

doesn't matter what place the sox and yankees finish in. yankees cant beat boston. new york's only hope is that they win their first round and boston loses theirs.

That means nothing, a few years ago NY beat Cleveland 9-0 in the regular season, and lost in the playoffs to them (the Joba bug game, remmeber?)

Plus the Red Sox and NY have 10 more, 7 of them in NY before this season is up.

do you WANT to face Boston in the playoffs? hillary clinton curse.

 

[Article 15]

You guys should be listening to Boston sports talk radio right now.

You would think the sky is falling.

 

[Xenophon]

Yes i do.

The idea of being champion means you are the best.

If NY can't beat Boston, they don't deserve to be champions and the title would be meaningless.

I imagine that they are demanding you give your entire minor league system for Halladay at this point.

and vice versa.

 

[Paulie]

The Philllies recent tear does seem to have put a damper on the Halladay market.

IMO, the Jays are asking too much for a pitcher they have no chance of retaining after next season.

They are pretty much asking the Sox to clean out the farm to get him. From what I hear it's start with Buchholtz, Bowden, and Bard then go from there. That's a pretty big starting price tag.

I don't get to see much Sox action, but I got to see a little during our series and this kid Bard is something else.

I wouldn't give up Buchholz and Bard for Halladay. Although, you guys can afford to sign Halladay, so...

Plus you obviously need some help in your rotation.

Would you pull the trigger?

 

[Xenophon]

NY completes the sweep of Baltimore 6-4 behind AJ.

Sox swept by Texas, NY now 2 games up in AL east.

 

[tigerbob]

Another nice job by a Tigers starter is wasted. Tigs score 1 run on six hits, Mariners score 2 runs on 2 hits. Galarraga left the game after 7 1/3 innings of one hit ball, but Bobby Seay gave up a 2 out 2 run shot before the inning was over. Despite the rain delay, it was a sad end to an otherwise enjoyable evening at the ballpark with the kids.

Mark Buehrle threw a perfect game today ....









... while sitting on my fantasy team's bench.

 

[Xenophon]

I had him in.

 

[del]

the sox didn't lose today

day off

 

[Xenophon]

NY is losing so far, CC doesn't like the rain.

That totally sucks. But.....I can help sniggering just a little.

 

[Xenophon]

CC doing better now, NY up 6-3 in the 7th.

 

[Xenophon]

Joba brilliant through 7, should have been pulled after that, walked a guy and hit another in the 8th before being pulled.

No matter, he gave up only a run and 2 hits as NY wins its 8th striaght to stay 2 1/2 over the Red Sox.
