But why because you are a self-proclaimed king of NYTA baseball fans does that make your opinion more valid than mine? I guarantee if me and you played stump the Schwab baseball style id whipe you out!!

I never proclaimed anything. But I've never made a statement about a team certainly winning because another team has played poorly lately even though, up until 3 weeks ago, the first team was playing just as, if not more, poorly than the second team.

I know Shamus, I like you and respect your opinion. I'm only giving you you a hard time most times.

the yanks/sox game was boring as heck. i'm not sure if i can make generalizations, but it seems AL games are a lot slower/go longer than NL games (they're different notions). perhaps it's having the DH, and having longer at-bats than pitchers, less sacrifices being employed, but i always complain about the lack of rhythm that AL games have. all the national league games i've gone to move around at a pretty decent clip. does anyone else have this problem when going to games?

(high scoring games add to this phenomen, but there can be exciting high score games, and not blowouts like the one i witnessed today at yankee stadium. that was a massacre, and quite boring.)

And that's why I love you.

Hey, anyone else read that article about Jake Peavy in the ESPN Magazine? I love that kid... he's awesome. Probably my favorite pitcher in the league behind Petey.

I dunno. I try not to compare AL to NL because I am very biased against the AL.

I think people are biased towards whatever league their team is affiliated with. I've been trying to watch more NL games lately. NL games are definitely much shorter in time and I would say for the purist, much more enjoyable to watch. Things do move along better, not everyone is waiting on the 3 run bomb. AL can be too much position to position. Definitely less strategy involved of course. I love speed more than the next guy but I still like to see A Rod blast one out to deep center. It really depends... I agree some 9-8 games are really boring.

I LOVE Jake Peavy, that's funny you say that. He's probably my favorite pitcher, he's so money. I needed pitching and tried to trade for him again and again but the guy wouldn't relent. A lot of Yankee fans don't even know him, it's pretty pathetic.

He's the anchor to my ridiculous pitching staff. I win the pitching categories every week. Though I will admit that I lucked out and no one had taken Jon Garland 3 weeks into the season, so I grabbed him.

seems like tonight's Yanks vs Sox game is gonna be a home run derby
In the 1st inning alone, first an upper upper deck shot absolutely crushed by Ortiz, and then dingers by Jeter and Sheffield.
Both sides are getting lots of good cuts.

Dang, another ridiculous shot by Ortiz in the 3rd, right after Renteria's leadoff homer.
And Moose is out after just 3 innings

the slugfest quieted quickly, thanks to Wells and Wang
After that first inning, Wells settled in and was lights out
Sox win this one 7-2 to take the series
