7 shutout innings is shitty? wow. yeah, he got in some jams...but dude has been doing it all year. fact is the yanks couldn't plate anything. it was far from a shitty outing.

twins won last years first game at yankee stadium with johan starting and the yankees went on to win the next 3.

Ok shitty might have been strong but he wasn't at his best... then again it could have been the sheer strength of the Yankees bats that made him look bad.

Santana didn't have good command (for him) but 7 shutout innings is 7 shutout innings.

Rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for the house in blackjack.

Bye Bye Stankees. The only worthwhile reason to see the Yankees get past the ALDS round is to see them get crushed by Boston in the ALCS.

sheffield's kicking ass and taking names

Pedro Martinez, Sheffield says, should be aware that he's been put on similar notice. "I gave him one buddy pass," Sheffield says. "If he says one word to me, he's done. Pedro, your buddy pass is over. I've been playing for 17 years. I will never be disrespected on a baseball field or off. If he tries anything again, I won't hurt my team, but I'm telling you, I will take care of him."

Ichiro Suzuki? "Two hundred singles? Come on. That doesn't make you a great hitter. If I didn't care about hitting the ball hard and hitting it out of the park, I'd hit you singles all day long. Any guy can go out there and get a single if that's all you try for. I ain't impressed."
Click to expand...
Performance-enhancing drugs? "I know guys are not that much better than me naturally. There's no way possible. I'm not going to say any names, [but] six years ago I had the same number of home runs as another player, and I have had my best [home run] years since then. And you mean to tell me he outhomered me by 250? No way possible. Ain't no one in the world who can convince me that is possible."
Click to expand...
The MVP? "If it was A-Rod [having the year I'm having], it would be unanimous. If it was someone else, it would be unanimous. But why isn't it? Because it's Gary Sheffield. And I'm supposed to be flattered [by being mentioned]? My uncle [Gooden] said, 'Man, don't say anything' or 'Do this or do that' to get it. If I have to kiss your behind to get an award, guess what? I won't win it."

The Yanks had to pass through the Sox in what...2 of their 26 titles. I'm sure those other 24 felt watered down didn't they :rolleyes

Yeah a Sox/Yanks ALCS would be nice, but I root for the Sox to win first.

Sheffield is talking too much. Those are the crappy comments that usually come before losing miserably and having everyone laugh at you.

I have a feeling the Braves may take Game 1. Sportscenter/Houston kind of set the table for a bad Clemens outing this morning. Mentioned he was out of rhythm due to the stomach issues.

ATL wins 6 - 4, but I still seem them losing the series in 5

I can't believe I found myself rooting for the Skankees last night. I realized that I would much rather have the Sox play the Yanks in the ALCS for a few reasons:

Always exciting games: look at 99 and last year.
Twins-Sox would be a defensive borefest.
I'd rather have the Sox go through the Yanks on the road to the WS
Sox beat the Yanks for the season series.


Hopefully Pedro will kick it in tonight. But I'm hoping for a Sunday game. At the Pats game at 1 and the Sox right after. Sunday sporting heaven.

Even with the loss, the Yankees are 20-4 against the Twins in their last 24 games. I wouldn't worry yet. If the Yankees go down 2-0 though....

The one thing I don't like about baseball as it seems like the one sport where home field advantage is completely worthless.

I've decided I want the Disastros and Cards in the NLCS, because that would be the most exciting NLCS matchup. LA/Bravos snoozefest. Disastros/LA boooorrrrriiinnng. St. Louis/Bravos, well, at least I could see the Cards score a ton of runs. But Disastros/Cards is the best possible matchup, even though I really don't like either team.

How fucking pathetic is Atlanta? They are offering two FREE tickets to tomorrow's playoff game if you buy two for today's game. Not discounted, but FREE.
