The Yanks are coming

[DaveinMD]

The Yanks finally sweep Tampa and pull with 1/5 game of the Indians and will likely be 1 1/2 games back of Boston and 1 in the loss column. This could be a great finish.

1. oh the humanity.....

the yanks have to go in the back door, with all of their millionaires.
Go Tribe! now there is a team.

[DaveinMD]

3. what back door

They are charging fast and no one is safe from the onslaught.

[blue sky at night]

11. excuse me....

you are the one who mentioned the Indians...little worried are ya? How bout that asshole Randy Johnson, guess he found a home in the Bronx!! Kicked out for arguing with the umpire in the second inning, what a class act!! How did you guys do last year, BTW???

[K-W]

12. Yikes!

You still havent explained what you mean by backdoor. It doesnt matter when you get the wins, it matters who has the most at the end of the season.

Yah Randy argued balls and strikes like plenty of other players in the majors do all the time. And the ump went way overboard.

You know how the Yanks did last year, better than the Indians.

[blue sky at night]

15. way better than the indians...

i would hope so for the money they spend, I was hinting at one of the biggest chokes in baseball history...guess you forgot that one. The backdoor is the wildcard. In case you can't tell, we don't think too highly of the yankees here in the midwest.

[K-W]

17. There must be some people in the midwest

who have better things to do with thier time than hate another cities baseball team.

way better than the indians... i would hope so for the money they spend,

They spend the money they get like any other baseball team. Do you hate New York because its a bigger city than Cleveland? Im all for changing the rules to make teams more equitable, but to hate the Yankees because they happen to get more revenue than the Indians is a bit silly.

I was hinting at one of the biggest chokes in baseball history...guess you forgot that one.

You are a really bad guesser.

And Id rather choke in the playoffs than not make them. If we dont make the playoffs this year I will be more dissapointed than I was last year.

The backdoor is the wildcard. In case you can't tell,

Well besides the fact that the Yankees are vying for the devision as well as the wildcard, no I couldnt tell the wildcard was the backdoor because I dont know many baseball fans who degrade wild card teams.

19. indians-11 royals- 0

blue jays-5 yankees-4

I have nothing better to do than "hate other cities baseball teams"..what do you do, live in a cave? Come on Dude... your team is the most universally hated team ever...oh, does that bother you? It must, if you have nothing better to do than build elaborate posts deriding a poor indians fan.

[K-W]

20. Congrats

I have nothing better to do than "hate other cities baseball teams"..what do you do, live in a cave? Come on Dude... your team is the most universally hated team ever...

So just because because other people do it, it makes it more reasonable?

And no, it isnt universally hated, it is really only hated by bitter fans of other teams. A vocal minority.

oh, does that bother you?
Not really. Certainly no where near as much as the Yankees bother you.

It must, if you have nothing better to do than build elaborate posts deriding a poor indians fan.

Im not sure what was elaborate about pointing out how silly it is to hate a baseball team nor pointing out that you are trying to play the victim while your team has a better record than the Yankees, which is pretty funny.

It takes me somwhere between 10 and 30 seconds for me to write a post. So Im really not sure what you are talking about.

[DaveinMD]

13. the ump ran for arguing

Schilling argued for a lot longer and stays in the game. You an Indians fan?

[blue sky at night]

16. yes and a long suffering one......

try my entire life. we have had some light back in the 90's, but for the most part we are a farm team for the likes of the yankees.

[K-W]

18. Except that you are leading the Yanks in the wild card right now.

Hardly a farm team. You picked the wrong season to play victim.

[DaveinMD]

14. and the ump was wrong

it was a horrid call and the ump was looking for trouble. That's not on Randy. But he doesn't run to a microphone to comment on every issue. So your right, he doesn't have the same amount of class as Schilling

[enigami]

2. Ho Hum

yawn

[DaveinMD]

4. so

you find exciting pennant races to be boring?

[enigami]

6. I know it is exciting for you, I'm sorry

You have to understand though that the rest of us are sick of the Yankees by this time of the season.

We have teams too, but never get the attention all season long from the national media. Yankees Yankees Yankees.

But that being said, yes the race is exciting, if they can pull it off it will be fun to watch. Sorry for the rant.

[DaveinMD]

7. I understand that

but the Cardinals won't get attention because they are too much better than everyone else in that division. The Yanks get all this attention because of the rivalry with the Red Sox. If the Cubs were any good, you guys would get a lot of attention. Plus ESPN is right in between the two cities, so that colors the coverage as well. But it really is the rivalry between Boston and NY. Those games have been epic the last three years.

5. "...and they're bringing hell with them!"

The Yanks have 3 games in Canada, then they are home for 7, then they have to travel to Baltimore with the big series in Boston to finish the season.

Boston has 3 more home games against Oakland, then they go to Tampa Bay & Baltimore, then they come home to face the Bluejays and Yanks.

The Indians plays KC at home, then the White Sox and KC on the road before finishing with 7 games at home against Tampa Bay and the White Sox.

Boston and the Indians have tougher opponents in the top echelon (Indians more so) than the Yankees. Could the Yanks still lose to O's or the Blue Jays? Of course but Oakland and Chicago are just much better teams. And the Indians have to play the Sox twice.

But both the Red Sox and Indians have their last 7 games at home.

This is gonna be great!

Mets is dead.
