The only people that find these two teams interesting are each cities fans. Everyone else is so tired of these two teams being talked about like they are the greatest ever. The sorry Sox finally won a World Series what??? four or five years ago and now the Bostonians think they are the greatest team ever, well they are right, they are still the greatest at joking. They will probably choke away that division lead, they most certainly will not win another World Series for a good 30 years. The Yankees, well they are just a bit more tolerable than the Sox. Yankees have a history they can boast about at least. Not just one lame Series win. Boston Blows!

Both teams have catchers that could be FA at the end of the year. Both teams have outfielders that have underachieved. Both teams have stellar prospects like Felix Pie and Phil Hughes. The Cubs need RP more than SP. The Yankees may be the opposite. Can a deal be made?

i have been around sports my whole life. and the one thing i know i know is umpires decide ball games. im waiting for one time a manager to come out and jaw an umpire and make him relize hey i will kick your a$$ if you make a bad call. i belive if this ever happened you would see less blown calls cause there scared they would get jawwed. i mean its getting reduclous of the amount of bad calls. i watched the yankee redsox game and it was horrible. so yeah how belive this would help. but it will only work if the teams support there manager and bring them back.

Now that the Yankees do not have a First Baseman,do you think that Goerge will ask Don Mattingly to come out of retirement,and play first base,or do they make a trade?

The only thing I can think of is it fires up the team. It's not like the call can get reversed. It is entertaining though.

you know its about time that the hall of fame and the sports writers that vote on entry recoginze and elect edgar martinez to the hall. big pappi was the greatest dh of all time and not a bad 3rd baseman or first base too for that matter. an incredible clutch hitter and home run hitter almost at will with power to all fields. its edgar's time for the big show. seattle just elected him to their hof and now its baseballs turn. by the way the dh trophy is now named after him.

i think he should be. he is the best player in this decade. he has the single season hits record, one which was set by george sisler long ago. he averages over 200 hits a year. plus, he plays gold glove defense. i cant name any other outfielder who is as fundamentaly sound as ichiro.

so, u know my opinion. whats ur opinion?

do you guys think that it would be a reason to celebrate about? i think that the MLB should eliminate his H.R. well the ones he hit while the whole steroid controversy began.

Papelbon was seen slouched over in the Red Sux dugout, presumably with a severely bruised ego. Take that! LOL Go Yankees! 1978 here we go again!

I was watching the Yankees vs Red Sox game tonight. The situation of who was batting and who hit it doesn't matter.

There was a pop-fly by a batter, a low blooper that was easily caught by the 3rd baseman and thrown to 1st for the out.

I'm not sure why the ball was still thrown to 1st when the ball was caught. There was a runner at 3rd, though I'm not sure if there were runners at 1st or 2nd, nor the # of outs. I don't think the infield fly rule applies here because my understanding is that the umps would simply call a batter out on an easy pop-fly whether or not the ball is caught. Why is the ball still thrown to 1st in some situations on pop-ups (and the batter still runs to 1st to try to get the hit)?

Nothing sexual or vulgar. I already have:
Dirty balls, dirty balls; for balls in the dirt
He must be sick, he's throwin' up! for high pitches
Turn off your blinker! for pickoffs.

We might host a regional, so please help.

Batter singles.
Runner is then moved to second on SAC bunt.
Runner then steals third.
Runner comes home on a smash to third. 3b bobbles the ball and the throw home is late.

My question is this. What constitutes an "earned" run, especially if the runner in question both merits his way ON to base but scores involving an error somewhere.
Since there are so many scenarios that would contradict, can someone explain the governing philosophy on how to properly score an earned run and the process to do so?

Its slightly less frustrating than the infield fly, lol.

Thanks.

Why can't they stop losing games....and start having winning seasons? Why can't management stop spending money on big $$$ players (that really can't produce much, other than to help drive up ticket revenue)....and start spending money on necessary players..like PITCHERS..
