Official 2007 MLB Season Thread

Yes,the Yanks did lose..Their fans have been quiet of late :confused: Unlike the chest thumping,and verge of orgasm posts when they were beating up on KC and Tampa Bay and making their "run"....
Sox bats came alive somewhat this weekend ;)
 
contender list 8/26

contender list 8/26

i'll be doing this every sunday night/monday morning for the rest of the season.

nl
mets, phillies, braves
cubs, brewers, cardinals
dbacks, padres, dodgers, rockies

al
red sox, yankees
indians, tigers, twins
angels, mariners

as expected, the blue jays are off the list, i'm about ready to take the dodgers, rockies and braves all off depending on their performance this week, since it's starting to look like it's going to be padres and phillies for the wild card.

I would count the White Sox along the lines with the Royals and Devil Rays.:p Who's chest thumping when beating the bad teams now.:rolleyes:

since when is 'bats came alive somewhat' chest thumping? :rolleyes:

We'll have a series all to our own to complain about on both sides starting tomorrow. My prediction - Sox score no runs for Matsusaka, again.

Yeah I wouldn't exactly call that "chest thumping"..Chest thumping would be on the lines of and A Rod HR orgazm in April/May.Not that anybody's done that here :p Sox have basically played .500 ball since the All Star break and the Yanks haven't got it closer than 4. Would be double digits right now were it not for Gagne..We shall see....

Lots of good series this week..Cubs/Brewers..Padres/DBacks...Mets/Atl... Sea/Angels.... Fun week ahead..
 
Astros have fired Garner and the GM. Seems inevitable given the poor performance this year. Here's hoping they can find some good replacements and get the 'stros back in the playoffs.
 
Where was the offense, Verlander is a tough pitcher, but to get blanked?
We gotta sweep the sox to have a chance at the East.
But on the upside, even if we don't we can still take the wild card. :)
But our pitching really needs some work. I'm hoping that this is just a horrible slump for moose, and he will come out of it. Hughes lost something in his stint on the DL that I'm hoping he gets back soon, Clemens has been really inconsistent, Wang is either great most of the time, but on the rare occassion when he slips, things go horribly wrong. Pettitte is really the only consistent starter we have right now, and its only been since the All star break.
Don't even get me started on the bullpen...
 
Yankees win again, 4-3 :D; despite the continually subpar efforts of Farnsworth :mad:

Yankees are starting Ian Kennedy instead of Moose on Saturday against the D-rays. I know Mussina has been struggling, but I would give him one more chance, if he can't beat the D-rays, then take him out. Or maybe Torre and Cashman wanna give Kennedy a fairly easy first start, so he can ease into the majors. What does everyone else make of this?
 
Loves me some Yankee wins over Boston.

I am currently in San Francisco and I went to the Giants/Rockies game on Tuesday night. Very nice ball park.

Moose doesn't deserve another chance, 3 straight games in which he got demolished. I'm hoping that Kennedy turns into a Joba Chamberlain (Meaning he's as nasty as he is for a solid 6 or 7 innings) :D
 
The Dodgers claimed Esteban Loaiza off waivers today. Along with Roberto Hernandez, Shea Hillenbrand and David Wells, this is turning into a team of cast-offs. But they're winning again, so who cares?
 
Brewers beat cubs... finnnnnally... lets get off this schneid... sheets is back, lookin good. Id like to see Fielder compete with A-rod for HR title but not looking good

What's your opinion on the Wickman situation?

i am sad to see the braves no longer on TBS .. and well wickman being released was a shock to say the least. sure, he had struggled on the road, but it's not like we had a wonderful pen to begin with, and he was a solid guy who had done that job for many years. the least we could've done was try to trade him to a contender. the braves are finished this year .. we desperately need one or two more starters to be a team that can win the NL east again. right now we have smoltz and huddy and no one else. we sometimes havea random good start from james, but carlyle, reyes, and cormier are awful.
 
Time for some "chest thumping." The Yankees have taken the first 2 from the Red Sox while Beckett allowed the most hits in his career. Clemans pitched a no hitter through 5. Seattle on a nose dive has allowed the Yankees to pull into a tie for the wild card.:cool:

This story from ESPN made me smile because its so true. :)

It's true. While Yankees fans momentarily are neutralized by their recent embarrassing autumns and their current spot in the standings, Red Sox fans, sadly, have taken over the mantle as the most obnoxious fans in sports.

No longer. As soon as the Red Sox won the 2004 World Series, Boston fans took on a swaggering, entitled persona, acting as if they alone invented sports fandom and behaving as if nothing else in baseball mattered but them.

No one can stand to be around Red Sox fans anymore. And they're everywhere -- a recent USA Today article labeled the Red Sox baseball's new biggest attraction. Forget a fence between the U.S. and Mexico. What we really need is a wall, a moat and a minefield around New England to keep the spoiled citizens of Red Sox Nation from sneaking into the rest of the country and taking over seats in major league ballparks that should go to hard-working local fans. Everywhere the Red Sox play these days turns into a road version of Fenway Park, with Boston fans occasionally drowning out the hometown fans with their "Let's Go Red Sox!" chants. They were so over the top at a recent game in Seattle, I was surprised the Mariners didn't play "Sweet Caroline."

They call themselves Red Sox Nation, the same arrogant way the Cowboys call themselves America's Team. And the whole thing is getting a little old. Could I get a little help here from Miss Teen South Carolina? Where the hell is Red Sox Nation anyway? It seems to me Red Sox Nation only exists when the team is winning, like a country that only shows up on U.S. State Department radar when oil is discovered. Wherever Red Sox Nation is, I just wish Bush would invade it.

i personally hate the red sox more than any team in baseball expect the mets.

but matt diaz killed his hated marlins again. dontrelle hit a homer though in a loss.
 
Sweep!!!! :D

Sorry to post this in two threads, but I have to boast. The Yankees bested Dice-K, Beckett, and Schilling; the pitchers who most people would consider the aces of the Sox staff.
 
I loves me some sweep. As much as I am excited about this, we still got work to do. Just gotta keep playing hard like this everyday.
