Baez might have just cost the Yankees the division title with that dismal performance. Not that it matters anyway, as the Yankees will at least get the wild card, right?

That's a bit dramatic, no?

The Yankees and Red Sox are still tied in the loss column and there are two more months of baseball left to play!

[True Yankee-ette13]

If only Baez was competant.

He usually is competent. Oh well.

[MiamiKat]

If only Baez was competant.

If only Piniella hadn't left him in when he had nothing.

[Mystic Merlyn]

Did you promise to leave this board if the Sox lost?

If the D-Rays scored 2 runs, yes.

You're f*cking kidding me with that, right?

A game in July the Sox BARELY won, has now cost us the division? That's a good one.

[Mattpat11]

Are the Yankees really looking to obtain Baez?

Still way too many games to call the division.

WTF are you talking about?

[CoyoteYankee]

Ah okay...now I get it. Well, it would have sucked to lose you, but hey, it would have been for a good cause!

[WebsterMulligan]

If only Piniella hadn't left him in when he had nothing.

I thought Torre was the only one who made bad bullpen decisions?

[Mattpat11]

He usually is competent. Oh well.

To be honest, when a closer is flirting with a 3 ERA you almost have to expect this.

[BoSox37]

You're f*cking kidding me with that, right?

Clearly, you guys are screwed. You should just go ahead and forfeit the rest of your games, and save yourselves the trouble.

[Mystic Merlyn]

Yeah, but I am sure many posters here wouldn't have minded the extra bonus of me leaving....

[WebsterMulligan]

And Nomo too?

[26 and counting]

WTF are you talking about?

Damned if I know. I say stupid things some times. Never mind!

[CoyoteYankee]

The very definition of Christmas in July!

[MiamiKat]

I thought Torre was the only one who made bad bullpen decisions?

I think Lou knew full well he should pull Baez and just left him in to twist in the wind.

As for some of Torre's decisions...well...I'm not sure where they come from.

[Jaksiel]

Game of the year so far for the Sox.

[FreeYayo]

I despise Pinella. Nothing but an angry old thug. He deserves every bit of this.

You obviously missed all his superior strategic coaching moves today

[Runan]

Motherf*cker. Oh well. Good effort by the D-rays. They're hardly intimidated by the mighty Red Sox.

Good thing they have the Yankees to put them in their place, right?

[MiamiKat]

Good thing they have the Yankees to put them in their place, right?

I thought the Yankees put the Red Sox in their place just fine by taking 3 out of 4 at Fenway not too long ago.

Oh, that's not what you meant? Sorry.

[True Yankee-ette13]

Good thing they have the Yankees to put them in their place, right?

Shouldn't you be off losing to the Blue Jays right about now?

Oh, they're playing the Angels this week. Sorry.

[NDBoston]

I would save the trash talking until your team is actually in the playoffs. I recommend that for Red Sox fans too.

Nicely done.


And by a Red Sox fan, no less.

Anyone who's not a "fanboy" has to realize how flawed every team is in the American League this year. (and that includes the White Sox after what I saw this weekend)

I honestly have no idea who's going to win the AL East, never mind the ALCS.

Fun times (gulp) are ahead.

you know this division is going to come down to the last day...probably all 3 teams still in it too

Then why not direct your comment to your Red Sox buddy who decided to joke around first?

No need to lecture me like I'm a child. It was facetious remark. Nothing more, nothing less.

You were the last person who posted in the thread and it was late. Sue me

I wasn't lecturing you. I was stating a fact. Did you notice I included my fellow Red Sox fans in my post too?

[pjfan]

just looking at the end of the year schedules for both teams.....wow!!! the division could flip flop all over the place. Sox, Yanks, and O's are playing each other during the final three weeks....hopefully, we are still in it by then

gonna be a nerve racking 20 days.....not to mention my wife and I are expecting twins in October

Ah. The Red Sox suck cause they blow and everyone knows it.

If you guys thought yesterday's lineup was bad, today's is much worse:

Damon CF
Rent SS
Ortiz DH
Olerud 1B
Mueller 3B
Millar LF
Cora 2B
Mirabelli C
Stern RF

Brutal. Olerud 4th? Cora in front of Belli? Mueller 5th? I'd be worried if we were facing anybody but Seth McClung

Ramirez apparently requested today off.

[MassNYYfan]

an interview today on Boston radio station WEEI 850 AM, Terry Francona said he told Ramirez over the weekend he would give him today’s game off, but that last night he asked his star slugger if he’d reconsider and play today because the team was “in a bit of a bind” after Nixon’s injury. According to Francona, Ramirez said he still needed the game off.

Whatta Manny-pamby.
