Yet another reason the Yankees SUCK

Ouch. 2+ innings for Joba Chambermaid, eh? Where's Igawa when you need him?

Meanwhile, the two teams at the top of the division battle it out at Fenway for 1st place. The Red Sox and...Tampa Bay.

Hey Yanks fans - you should probably go out and invest in a good dehumiifier a.s.a.p. When it gets hot and humid in the summer, it can get damp and moldy (insert Giambi thong joke here) down there in the basement.

And because I was bored, here is a new signature image for bigpaulie - just in case you ever decide to wise up and root for a winner.

Nothing to worry about guys. My Chicago White Soxs are going all the way again.

Lol... this thread is soooooooo asking for trouble!

In what way? Whether they win the division or not, the universal truth of their suckiness shall always remain.

Besides, any day now Mussina will break a hip and/or Joba Fett will tear his arms off (see late 80's SNL skit with Kevin Nealon about steroid use by Olympic weightlifters).

I also found it hilarious listening to Jason Page (pathetically fawning Yankees fan) on ESPNradio rant about how Dice-K is not that good. Hmmm...let's see....both the Sox and Yanks overpaid for a Japanese pitcher in the offseason 2 years ago. One of those pitchers was 8-0 before a rotator cuff injury. How's Kei Igawa doing these days? Is he in A-ball??

Ahhh, Billy Billy Billy Billy...we're only just starting to find our groove, and yet, we are only 4 & 1/2 out. I'm actually a happy Bomber fan right now.


And things will only get better.

I hear you. The Sox have failed to pull away early this year. Whether it is a tired Beckett, an injured Dice-K, the crap-shoot that is Wakefield, Papelbon having mechanical problems, injuries to Manny and Ortiz, the nut-case that Youkilis is turning into, or the horrible Japan trip that sucked the life out of the team for a few weeks, they should be up at least 10 games by now. But they tend to go into funks that become losing streaks, erasing any gains they make while on hot streaks. They are simply too inconsistent right now, and the Yankees are close enough to smell blood in the water.

It will be interesting to see how the 4 games at the end of next week turn out. I think a split in NY would get us Sox fans crowing again, but a series win by the Yankees would conjure up a lot of bad memories. I'm also interested to see how Joba Fett / Joba Chambermaid (I can't decide which I like better ) will fare against a good lineup of hitters who have seen him before.

May the best team win, and hopefully no injuries to either team.

It is, of course, still very early. My hopes are that all the starting pitcher injuries will translate into extra rest and more production in October, whereas the Yankees are riding AARP arms that might be expected to tire by the end of the season...

beantown rules...

see me at the black rose... state street...

Having taken a 'back seat' while you all celebrated 4th July, UK 0 USA 1 I'm waiting for the replay. Having said that, nice to know you US pals.

Forgot the Lovely Julie was a Sawx fan. But, hey, that's kinda like a totally hot chick with a slight stutter or a scar...makes them even hotter and 'getable.' ...gnow, if only I can figure oout a way to get Esty & Ramblin' outta the way...

Hmmm...4 in a row against the mighty 1 and 2 of the East...things ain't so bad, and they'll only get better!

Oops. Winning streak over after losing to a sub-500 team from the N freaking L. Oh, that Pirates juggergnaut. It ain't going to get better, GK. Mussina and Pettite are just about out of gas, and they were the only thing keeping you above .500. The bubble is about to burst.

Rays are going all the way, Yankees won't even get a wild card.

Wow. You seem to really have misinterpreted my pathetic attempt at humor. My apologies. It was simply intended as a 'too-good-to-be-true' type compliment.

And Deity - if karma allows a franchise-that-has-deliberately-been-maintained-as-the-worst-team-in-MLB-so-that-the- ownership-could-skim-a-profit-off-of-the-revenue-sharing-structure-of-the-league to win the WS, then I will light my hair on fire and post a video of me doing that here.

If there is anything that Sox fans and Yanks fans can probably agree on, it is that Rays fans should be embarassed that their ownership pocketed money earned by the Red Sox and Yankees organizations for years rather than paying to field a competitive team.

And now I have given myself yet another reason to root against the Devil Rays... Maybe I should have taken juliegirl's advice...
