[OFFICIAL] ALCS: New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox!!!

One day before the biggest rivalry in any sports is set to land. Who will come out victorious, who will root for which team, lets side them up boys for one of the greatest battles in all sports.

Pick your team and root for them! Discuss game highlights, strategies, anything related to this series you wish!

Selling tickets? Post'em, dont scam craigslist, help TA's out who would be interested in joining the madness at the stadiums. I'm sure if anyone has tickets and are willing to sell'em someone on here (I got first dibs!) is willing to buy'em.

So what does it look like???

Schilling vs Mussina
Pedro vs Lieber
Arroyo vs Brown

2 in New York
3 in Boston
2 in New York

Predictions, outcomes, cmon I know you all will be glued to your TVs, probably even Shamez!!! haha

My prediction: New York in 7 (its going the distance! not to mention how much money a 7 game ALCS Yanks vs Sox would bring in)

Sox baby!!!

GO YANKS!!!!

Of course I will be. I've watched nearly every postseason game so far. And I wouldn't miss seeing the Red Sox celebrating on the field at Yankee Stadium for anything.

Okay, but seriously. Let's try and figure this out. Assume a 7 game series.

Schilling v. Mussina
3 times. I'd assume Schilling takes 2 of those 3. He's the biggest big game pitcher in baseball and he fairs pretty well against the Yankees.

Bo Sox 2 - Yankees 1.

Pedro v. Lieber
2 times. While I think that Pedro will be Pedro and be the Yankees daddy, the past has shown me other wise. I'll say they split.

Bo Sox 3 - Yankees 2.

Wakefield (not Arroyo) v. Brown
2 times. This really could go either way. But because Wakefield has completely owned the Yankees in the past, I'll give it a split again.

Bo Sox 4 - Yankees 3.

Red Sox in 7. Also, it's not known whether or not you'll have Mariano or not. While he's not superman against the Red Sox like he is against every other team, that's still one less quality arm in an already bad bullpen. Should be a very interesting series.

depends on schilling's ankle...dunno how that will affect him with his pitching

Rivera is there, don't get your hopes up....just check ESPN now. He's a big key in this series... apologies to Foulke but he just isn't Sandman.

Francona said he wasn't going to use Schilling 3 times but you never know if they get down in the series how things change. I don't think he can throw up 8-9 innings against this patient Yankee squad (and his ankle/age) and be the main deciding factor like people think so. I think 1/2 games is more like it.

Sheffield + A Rod changes things with Wakefield in my opinion. I like the Yanks chances now against him.

I think El Duque will come back to pitch one solid game and Kevin Brown will make everyone forget what a freaking idiot he is adding up to 2 more Yankee wins. Add in 1/2 against Pedro that makes 4 to New York.

So... Yanks in 7. A Rod will hit a 470 ft bomb to dead center to win it in game 7 and finally earn his 25 million.

Yanks will end up losing to St. Louis in 6 games.....

Every yankee is swinging their bats great. Its baseball in the fall and the yankees never disappoint! The pitching match is without a doubt sided to boston. The only counter the yankees have for that is their hitting streak. As for bosox hitting, still suspect if you ask me. Now don't get me wrong, bosox hitting is fair, just in my eyes not enough to produce the amount of runs necessary to bury the yanks. My prediction for all games is a high scoring game with pitchers becoming heros and pitchers losing their integrity. Schilling is old, pedro has no cards to throw at the yanks, and wakefield has proven his affectiveness against us but I doubt he'll be a deciding factor.

fuck the red sox....fuck them and everything they stand for...fuck anyone from boston...fuck any TA from boston...fuck anything boston made...fuck new england clam chowder...fuck Ben Affleck and Matt Damon...fuck you...

Schilling is old but hes been pitching like he's 10 years younger.Pedro was hitting 96 on the radar gun against the angels so I think he saved all his power for the playoffs this year.

you like sado-masochism huh??

Wakefield has a 2.82 ERA, .202 Opponents Batting Average in 13 games against the Yankees over the past 3 years.
Schilling had one terrible game against the Yankees and two great ones.
Pedro hasn't faired as well. But he is capable of pitching a gem at anytime.

Mussina has been decent against the Bo Sox. 3.50 ERA this year.
Lieber has a 4.19 in 3 starts against the Sox this year.
Brown = 5.93. But take away that shitty last start and he's got about a 3.50 era against them.

It really is a complete toss up.

As for Rodriguez and Sheffield making a difference against Wakefield, Sheffield batted .250 against him this year, while Alex Rodriguez batted .225 this year. Jeter hits him best with a .333 avg, while Bernie has a .386 OBP against him.

As for Mussina, David Ortiz batted .069 against him this year. Hahaha! That's terrible. Manny batted .203, but the hits he did get tended to be of the extra-base variety.

So basically, Yankee fans can make arguments for the Yankees and Red Sox fans can make arguments for the Red Sox. But I'll tell you one thing, if the Sox don't win this year, they will NEVER win. And a small side note, I'm predicting Orlando Cabrera to have a mega series.

And I've heard that Red Sox fans are bitter and stupid...

Pedro has lost something like 17 out of his last 23 games versus New York. They are his daddy. His ERA this year is 3.90, which is good, but nothing spectacular and not Johan Santana. I'm not scared of him!!

I don't think taking into this years stats from Sheffield and A Rod is completely fair since A Rod was 1-17 in the first series against Boston. Plus, he is getting hot at the right time and when he's going, he's gonna get his knocks. I think it's important to look at what they're doing now. A lot of the playoffs is about people getting hot at the right time.

As you said, we could go back and forth because it is so close and that's what makes it so intense. I think it's got to go 7 games though.

Anyway, I second Highmay.

FUCK BOSTON AND ALL THEIR SECOND RATE FANS.

If you ever win a world series, win 25 more and then we can start talking.

I think that when any Boston team starts to think about actually beating the Yankees, they start to get that small voice in their head about mystique, about how they can never beat NY, how they are always second place. As soon as that little voice creeps in there, BOOM, there goes a 3 run jack and they're done. It will happen again, I don't doubt that.

its about time the new york fans get some visibility in the bitter and stupid category..BRING ON THE FUCKING DEAD SOX!

well to alot of people this is like bigger then the superbowl when these 2 teams play
iam rooting for the yanks all the way
during the season i though boston would kill the yanks in the post season but the yanks pitching and hittin have been on point and clutch so it should be a good seris
my perdiction is that if boston dont beat the yanks in game 5 or 6 then they will loose in game 7
but i would really love to see the yanks win it in boston this time and see that lil bitch ben affleck start crying agin ha ha ha i hope arod fights him next

The past has nothing to do with the present. If the Red Sox do win the WS this year, that's it. They won the WS and the Yankees didn't. There is no other argument like "the Yankees won 26 blah blah." Stuff like that means absolutely nothing. And I think it's funny how Yankee fans forget about the 80's and early 90's...

Yankee's win in Game 6.

I know exactly what you mean. It's like ok let's just stop playing baseball altogether cause the yankees have won so many championships and realistically i cant even imagine how long it would be before another team wins that many.

this thread started off really well and then it went straight downhill with all the fuck boston shit. and you guys wonder why we hate the yankees so much.

omg i absolutely CANT WAIT for tomolo!!! kekkeke

I'm glad you noted the fact that this thread started off really well and went downhill from there, please don't let me recall that A-Rod thread be it that it was posted without any substance pre-first post and the instance there is some visibility of yankee fans demonstrating their bitterness towards boston fans I see a post to point out such. You say and you guys wonder why we hate the yankees so much, you dont hate us cuz we talk shit to you boston fans, if anything boston fans talk to most shit to yankee fans. Why is it that when I visit other stadiums and talk to other fans they say that Boston houses the most ignorant fans, not to mention how obnoxious they are? Ok enough with the slander...substance!!!

As per NYP(post), this morning it seems that Schilling is Mr. Limp but he fears no yankee nor he fears no limp. So is the ankle going to be a factor tonight? Is MO going to bring his presence? Who knows? I think if Schilling dominates tonight, Pedro will have a great advantage tomorrow night. If Schilling falls Pedro will have a nice load on his shoulders to carry them tomorrow night. This is what I love about Boston rotation. Pedro has been Mr. Choke artist so if Schilling gets schlacked tonight Pedro will seriously have to win back his reputation by proving something to the yankees.

The Yankees - Moose is hit or miss, as it seems from his last start against Boston @ Home, he pitched in fair/mild conditions. It was pretty cold that weekend as he went up against Pedro. I'm hoping the cooler weather is what he is more comfortable in pitching in. The only "hole" in the yankees lineup right now is Posada. He didn't hit that well against the Twins in the ALDS. Everyone else is swinging their bats majorly. Well tonight will be the tale of the tapes, lets see how far it goes.

The Yankees weren't bad in the 80's, they just didn't have the wild card back then. The Yankees started being good in 90's in 1994, the strike shortened season in which they had the 2nd best record. Nothing to be ashamed about.

Red Sox honks always say it doesn't matter with history because their history sucks. Tell that to the Astros if history didn't mean anything when it was the their first series win. Or the Cubs who always talk about how long since they won. History doesn't mean anything? Yeah whatever....

I cant wait LOLS~! Schilling is going down
