ATTENTION YANKEE COUNCIL, for the duration of the regular season we will give our full backing and support to both the Baltimore Orioles and Tampa Bay Devil Rays. rooting for the Yankees is suspended until further notice.

While it makes sense... a team should never want to lose, just saying. On that same subject, why would the yankees rather play the rays than the sox right now? Longoria is finally healthy and the pitching has been there all year.

The Yanks would play whoever has the worst record between the Tigers and Rangers; ideally, that'd be the Rangers, because fuck Verlander and Fister in a short series.

it's all about the moment man, the hilarity. all teams are pretty evenly matched I'd say so it doesn't much matter.

I won't root for the Cards anytime prior to growing a third testicle.

Because they are secretly afraid. Anyone rooting for a potential series against a Florida team, in a clown stadium, with zero fans are foolish.

Carlos Lee almost cost the Braves. Holy Damn!

They just took 3 out of 4 against them back when they were actually still kinda trying.

And seriously, why the hell would we take the chance of facing the Sox in the playoffs? As bad as they have been lately, all bets are off once the playoffs roll around. Get them out now and the Yankees will do what they can in the playoffs.

 

[Jangocube]

So much love!

If only there were other actual O's fans out there =( But alas, only I.

 

[Lambtron]

If Punto runs that out, he's safe. The more things change.

At least one of you clowns are saying it.

I'd be worried about facing the Rays in the playoffs. Who do you think would give the Yankees the most trouble the Red Sox or the Rays?

love baseball

I know why, you dipshit.

Welcome to MLB-Age. Home of the Red Sox -- 1995 AL EAST Champions! --

I do understand that on one hand, but you should hope your team would never pack it in.

[darkside31337]

The real reason Yankees fans want the Rays in the playoffs?

They get 7 home games when they play each other in the ALCS.

Ah ha ha haha

God. That is just sad. Can we please move this team somewhere else?

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Pow, Sal Perez with one more run on the twins. And now Aaron Crow. Man, I'm gonna miss these guys. Who needs y'alls fancy "October Baseball".

 

[darkside31337]

Montreal Rays.

 

[Doytch]

Montreal Rays.

Rés.

Brooklyn Overcasts

 

[outunderthestars]

Montreal Rays.

Carolina Rays?

 

[darkside31337]

Carolina Rays?

As somebody who lives in Florida, everywhere outside the state of Florida sounds good to me. The people inside the org deserve so much better than this.

What do the yankees need to play for now? They've already wrapped up the division and hfa, it's time to rest the regulars and make sure they're healthy for the playoffs. Also its for the lulz.

 

[A Black Falcon]

I don't get why Yankees fans want the Red Sox to fail to make the postseason either, I mean I'd rather play the Yankees than Rays in the ALCS (pretending that the Sox actually make the postseason this year)... not just because we had a better record against the Yankees, but because there's nothing like beating the Yankees in the playoffs. Beating Tampa... isn't exactly the same.

In other news, the Cardinals-Astros game is tied, if the Cardinals can pull off a win both wild card races will tie in the same day...

 

[eznark]

Braun is sooooooooooooo fucking good!

Then don't worry about what the Yankee fans want, let the Yankee fans worry about what the Yankee fans want, aight?

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Please bring back the Expos, I'm begging you.

 

[Corran Horn]

Ozzie traded....lol

 

[outunderthestars]

Portland Rays.
http://www.oregonstadiumcampaign.com/submission.html

Portland works too!

I bet somewhere there is a room full of Fox Exec's hoping Boston pulls it out.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Cool. The more chaos in the 2012 AL Central, the better.

 

[Fatalah]

LeBron and Ozzie chillin' in Miami.

 

[jman2050]

I didn't even know you could trade club managers.

Can you trade other management staff as well?

 

[Little Green Yoda]

yeah i'm not rooting for the cards

i am rooting for them to pull even and then fail after poojols explodes while tripping down the steps

I never understand hating teams that aren't rivals to the one you cheer for.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

The White Sox are saying they did not trade him to the Marlins and instead "honored his request to be released from his contract".

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Anyone with a contract can be traded.

 

[darkside31337]

There was the Lou Piniella - Randy Winn trade eons ago.

Also Mat Latos no hitter alert. 5 innings through.

No Rays should stay in Florida, but they need to move them out of the retirement home side and into somewhere between Miami and Orlando. Then contract the Marlins so the state isn't split between two team. Next thing to do is get Canadian Blue Jays out of the American League, the NL can have them if they want. Then just plop the Pirates in the AL East to fill the gap. Bam, done!

Can we trade Randy Levine, please?

As a long time Yankee fan, aside from obviously winning the WS, there's nothing more gratifying than witnessing an epic Red Sox collapse. The way I see it, my team earned the right (with the Division and HF advantage already locked up) to do whatever the hell they wanted with these last 3 games. And if that means starting their AAA roster while resting their starters aka basically mailing it in and as a result having an indirect impact on the overall outcome of the Wild Card race than so be it.

Also the Red Sox had control of their own destiny when the day started so they really have no one to blame but themselves for losing to the O's. Plus I'd rather take my chances and live with the outcome of a possible ALCS against the Rays (which happens to be a better matchup for the Yanks anyway) as opposed to giving Saux fans the satisfaction of ever making it to the post season this year.

So basically what I'm saying to all Red Sox fans who are crying about what's taking place in Tampa Bay is.....
