Re: 2007 Unofficial AL East Champions Watch
At the start of play today, 9/11, the Red Sox lead in the loss column is four games. Unlikely...but still possible.

Re: 2007 Unofficial AL East Champions Watch
This thread...dusted off, and brought back to life.....
The Red Sox simply DO NOT WANT TO WIN THE DIVISION.
Thank you Toronto..thank you Eric Gagne...
But with the Red Sox losing tonight...and the Yankees up 12-0 on the Orioles...the lead is down to two games in the loss column. A tie gives us the division and the extra home game.
Can it be? Could it be? 14.5 games out...and caught in September? We shall see. Assuming the Yankee win [and Okajima and Papelbon aint pitching, so we have a good chance of winning]...the standing look like this at the end of 9/18:
Boston 90-62
Yankees 87-64 2.5 GB
Only two in the loss.

Re: 2007 Unofficial AL East Champions Watch
Yankees next three games:
Brian Burres vs. Andy Pettitte
Roy Halladay vs. C.M. Wang
Shaun Marcum vs. Ian Kennedy
It's much more important for the Yankees to prepare themselves for the playoffs, so it's on the coaching staff to find a medium in terms of how hard you go after the division. If the wild card race is basically settled heading into the final week, and the division is in the balance, the Yanks need to find a way to go for the division without ruining any postseason preparation.

Go for the division. That extra home game is huge.

It was in 2004. It was sweet to celebrate at the big ballpark in the Bronx.

Re: 2007 Unofficial AL East Champions Watch
True. Have to give you that. I think our celebration in 2003 was better though. It's one thing to celebrate after a blow out. But to dance around after being 5 outs from losing, and in extra innings...now that was a boogie down from the Bronx. I remember they did the same thing in Flushing in 1986. What was that...one strike away with no one on?
We can dance if we want to......

lol, what a complete troll comment.
We were three outs from elimination. Won in 12, brought Fenway down.
Then we won in 14, and brought it down again.
Then a dude who can barely fucking walk beat your ass, and a guy who got booed off them team hit the game winning homerun.
And then we wiped the floor with your sorry asses in game 7.
So yeah, your celebration was great. Especially since you won the WS and everything.

Look, if it happens, the one thing I beg of you is this: Please don't go crazy on our faces. We'll be hurting, and we're also going to need to deal with a bunch of idiots that decide to join the board just to boast about it. It's going to be annoying as hell.

Re: 2007 Unofficial AL East Champions Watch
Fuck that. They reserve the right to be as obnoxious as they want.
Like Steinbrenner said after game 7 in '04, "Keep the lights on and let them celebrate. They deserve it."

If it came to it, would Yezsir ever consider putting a temporary ban on registration?
EDIT: I understand you can't just stop registration if the Sox are doing poorly, but exactly what you said will happen. |
