RKMBs Forums .::Robegories::. Sports and Wrestling hows bout those yankees for 2007 - cuz no other team matters

The Yankees took THREE games fron the DEVIL RAYS and only gained ONE game on the Red Sox? And you're proud of that?

Yeah, it's been a long season for you so far, hasn't it? By the way, kudos to Mussina for fighting the urge to cry when he didn't get that borderline call from the ump. Big pussy.

I stand corrected.

It's tough to argue against the Blob!



Yanks won again last night.....7 back from the wild card.

gotta nice streak goin now.

damon and abreu continue to really, really struggle. i think they're each having the worst years of their career (odd, since they both really had their best season last year). any step forward they take is immediately followed by 20 backward. they'll each have a good game, then go 0-50 in their next series.

damon is batting under 240 right now. when you have a 240 hitter batting leadoff, you're almost automatically putting yourself in 1-out inning. abreu is surrounded by good hitters, but damon's spot has too much pressure on him and on the rest of the team. i think he could use a few days dropped down to 8 or 9, as the torre-special "surrogate" leadoff hitter, and bring melky up to leadoff for a while, until things look nicer

they won again last night! beat the Jays 6-1 .....we are now 7 back from Boston and 5 or 6 from the wild card....I think 6....either way....it's just a matter of time now till we overtake all of them.



How are the A's doing?

the A's are 1-9 in their last 10 games played.....

Julian Tavarez is the face of the struggling Red Sox. He is 0-4 with a 7.71 ERA in his last five starts.

Surely the Red Sox will romp tonight over the White Sox...surely they will.

Tonight Josh Beckett pitches for the Red Sox and he has been coronated as the best pitcher in baseball by many sportswriters this year.....and we all know he always performs best in the second half of the season *snicker* so surely he will pitch a gem tonight.

And for the White Sox, Jose Contreras is pitching tonight and as we all know he is having a bad year and has never pitched great against the Red Sox.....so surely he will get creamed tonight......surely he will leave the game in shame.

I don't know which I hate more: the fact that a few players on my fantasy team (Willis and Andruw Jones, for example) are fucking KILLING my season, the fact that the Red Sox are shitting the proverbial bed this month and losing series to teams they should be sweeping (Royals...argh!)...or PJP.

please pick PJP!


besides.....I'm saying they're gonna win tonight!



surely they'll win!

I hate you. I hate you more than having Andruw Jones or Reggie Willits playing centerfield for my fantasy team.

the day the Yanks signed Clemens, Schilling was writing in his blog that he would rather have Tavarez on his team instead of Clemens.

I can't find anything, but I'll ask anyways: Did Chris Oakley come here and talk up the Red Sox while slamming the Yankees while I was sleeping or just away from these boards? Cuz I can't think of any other reason for the current state of both teams.

Admit it, PJP: Oakley is a Yankees fan that you and Rob planted up here just to kill any momentum the team has.

Baseball is a game of streaks.....that's the only reason.

The Yanks are getting healthy and more than likely will go ona hot streak the rerst of the year and the Sox will get out of this slump and play better too. I bet both teams win around 95 to 98 games this year and the division will be decided in the last week or two. It's up for grabs. The Sox could still win this thing very easily. But to count the Yanks out is stupid. We just need a better reliver for the 8th......Farnsworth SUCKS!

well it sure as hell isn't proctor

(proctoooooor!!!!)

they gots to use Edwar Ramirez more....he is aweshome.

i'll agree.

circle gets the square!

well then. nothing to see here.

well, that was much better.

after losing 14-4 on friday, the yanks won the double header on saturday and again today. the second game saturday was 17-5 and the sunday game was 21-4. matsui with 5 hits, duncan with 2 more homers, arod hit his 34th homer and collected his 99th rbi. abreu and cano have come to life over the past 7-10 days, as well. even damon, who didn't start, got to pinch hit and pick up a hit (though he's still below .240). 25 hits in all. a much nicer game than friday's.

over to kansas city for tomorrow night's game

they won again 9-4 last night! 4 1/2 back from the wild card!

You're welcome.

The best pitcher in the history of MLB second halves pitches tonight!! Go Beckett Go!

surely they must win.

You knock that off!

don't worry....it backfired on me last time. But it's fun throwing some negative karma his way.

THE COUNTDOWN TO 95 WINS

3 games ago I was looking at the Yankees record and they were 50-46. I said to myself, "if they win 95 games at the end of the year they will put themselves in a good position to win the wild card or division. So that means they have to go 45-21 the rest of the way."

Well now 3 wins later they are 53-46 and have to go 42-21(not so hard) the rest of they way. Basically they can't lose more than 21 games or it will probably be over. But seeing how they are playing so well and getting very healthy it seems like a very real possibilty. I'm excited....we'll see.

Yanks won 7-1 last night and are now 54-46 and need to go 41-21 the rest of the way. Boston lost last night to a pitcher they thought sucked last year and gave up on him.....more importantly douchebag Beckett lost and the Yanks are 6 1/2 behind the Red Sox!

Actually, they had chances to get into the game. But bad baserunning (bad baserunning? On the Red Sox??? No WAY!!! ) killed them.

Cuckoo for cocoa puffs fucked up.

Blame the third base coach and Manny. As the on-deck guy, Manny should've been there to tell Coco to keep running and slide. But he was nowhere to be found.

Jacob Ellsbury would've been called safe...

we lost that 13 inning game 2 weeks agot to the Angels by 1 run....I hate losing those close games. I rather lose by blowout.

How have the A's been doing?













K-immy!

A-rod hit number 499 last night......here are 2 cool facts about the next 2 days.



• Figure this: Kansas City's starter Thursday was Jorge De La Rosa, who gave up A-Rod's 400th homer two years ago. A-Rod, who turns 32 Friday, would surpass Jimmie Foxx (32 years, 338 days) as the youngest player to reach 500 homers.

• Weird but true: If A-Rod homers Friday in Baltimore, in the resumed game that was suspended on June 28th, Wednesday's HR would become his 500th (the HR in the suspended game would be No. 493).

You mean the Astros? Angels? Arizona? Whuzzis now?

basically.
