Can't believe the first two batters to come up with the bases loaded swung at the first pitch.

After getting out of that the Yankees have to win here.

As if they weren't already the favorites, A-Rod not sucking the playoffs pretty much makes them unstoppable IMO. Yeah I know it's only two games but that hasn't made much of a difference to him in the past.

I will be absolutely floored if they don't win it all this year. I'll feel happy for the good Yanks fans I know. Unfortunately though I know a lot of obnoxious dicks who will further rag on me for picking the "worse NY team" so I'm preparing for it.

definately a terrible call by the ump on the Mauer hit. I bet he feels like shit. but it happens and it happens to all our teams. would of been interesting if that was like Jeter who hit that and the ump missed it. the fans might off started throwing things.

Not surprised Nathan blew the save since he tends to stink against the Yankees in the playoffs but I'm upset that out of all the people who could have won a game or tied it in the 9th, it had to be A-Rod.

:foc: A-Rod. #1 player I hate in all of MLB regardless of the team (hated how he left Seattle, hated him in Texas & in NY).


Meanwhile Angels pitching has been much stronger than in recent years vs the Red Sox in the playoffs. Did not expect the Red Sox to be flat again. ESPN is saying that's 3rd playoff game in a row they failed to get more than 4 hits.

Just remember this though the third game you guys are playing at Fenway. You guys still have a chance to win against the Angels. Perhaps you'll play them better at home.

I did not see the bad call by the ump in the Yankees game, but it doesn't surprise me that Umps in the OF in a Playoff game in NY can't get a call right.

For baseball's sake, I hope there aren't any more absolutely terrible calls like that. Esp if the team that ends up winning it all gets the benefit of several awful calls throughout the playoffs, it'll damper the whole title run.

A lot of people say the charm of umpires is the human error element they bring to the game but they should start investing in cyborgs.

Red Sox are playing with no passion right now.

And there have been a lot of bad calls already in the playoffs.

yea, but that's every single playoffs from every single sport. Everytime I look on one of the sports threads on here during the playoffs, there's always posts about bad calls. And that's pretty much the sentiment on everyone around the US. It's always going to be there. Unless you get instant replay for every single call, (which would be ridiculous) then that will never change

Yup. They just haven't shown up to play. If anyones to blame it's definitely the bats.
Beckett had a bad 7th but he pitched a gem up to that point. If the lineup scored the runs they should he'd have been out and Wagner would be in. Instead they were trying to stretch the pitching with a shitty 1-1 tie.

Just not enough run production and that's all there is to it. Hopefully they can show up for game 3 and turn it around.
Neither teams really hitting the cover off the ball, but the Angels style of baserunning lends itself to getting more runs from nothing.

Honestly for the fucking money they're spending they should win a world series. Anything less makes them a huge failure IMO

Yea but dude, these are some REALLY BAD calls. I agree there's always bad calls, but these are headline making bad calls.
That Mauer hit was one of the worst fucking calls I've ever seen. The ump was 10 feet in front of it.

Granted the Twins had plenty of chances, and their failure to win was pretty much deserved. But wow to the call...

Then there was the call at first base in the Angels/Red Sox game which was unbelievably bad.
That's a first base call. It should be easy as hell. The guy was out by 2 steps. That call could be made from the upper deck.


I accept that bad calls happen but sometimes there's just no excuse.

Why not? Red Sox payroll isn't near the Yankees. The Yankees spend nearly 100 million dollars more on their team.

Mets and Cubs also have higher payrolls than the Red Sox. The Red Sox payroll is basically the same as that of the Tigers, Phillies, and the Angels who they're playing right now. They're all within 7 mill of eachother.

That's what the budget is for a playoff team. You have to spend money to win. The Yankees, though, are spending nearly double that of those playoff teams I listed. Over 200 million.

And...when did I say the Red Sox shouldn't be winning? They spend the money of a playoff team, and they're a playoff team. But, they should be playing better for what they spend too.
I just don't think it's nearly a comparison to the yankees.

Money doesn't really buy World Series champioships. We could have Pujols, Mauer, And any other young great guy that you can think of. But, no matter how much we spend there's no guarantees . That's why almost every single year since 2001 we have been beaten by the team that is making less money.

But, I have got to say that in a way I'm proud because the Yankees have a lot of farm pitchers and guys in the minors who I think will do very good. A-Jax, and Montero to name a few.



I've got a question just so I know what makes them failures if they don't win the World Series in your mind?

The Yankees just won 103 games, had the best winning record in Baseball, and won the American league to get to the playoffs.

I think the word "Failure" isn't really the word I'd use after all that.

If the Yankees don't win it all people will say they're failures because of the payroll and if they do win it all people will just say they should have anyway because of the payroll. Seems to be the way it works.

The Yankees just won 103 games, had the best winning record in Baseball, and won the American league to get to the playoffs.

I think the word "Failure" isn't really the word I'd use after all that.

It definitely doesn't buy world championships. The Yankees have been living proof of that since 2000.
The core of Jeter, O'Neil, Brosius and Bernie Williams played far better than any of their money free agents and dream teams ever did.
Same with the Cubs and Mets.

What I'm saying is that you have to spend some money to compete, in most cases. There's always suprise teams. That's awesome. It's part of what makes baseball great.
But in competitive divisions, teams need to spend money to compete and stay consistently good. There's nothing wrong with it. It's business.
I think it's far more noble to spend 100 mill on your team to be a playoff contender, than to trade everything away and pinch pennies like the Pirates.

What I'm also saying is, sometimes fans tend to liken the Red Sox to the Yankees in terms of money ball. It's not true. They have always spent significantly less than the Yankees, and about the same as other perrenial playoff teams (Phillies, Angels)
The Yankees payroll is almost double.

It's also important to keep divisions in mind. Some divisions don't have a 500 lb gorilla of a team to compete with.
The Red Sox spend more because the Yankees are their main rival. They have to compete, even if their budget is 100 million less. So the pressure is always on them to counter big acquisitions.

But yea, my general thesis here isn't that $= championships. It's that the Red Sox spend more or less what other successful teams do. The other point I'm making is that the Yankees went out this season and threw a shit ton of money around. Now, that doesn't = a guarunteed championship, but for the cash they put up at stake, they should expect nothing less than a world series. They obviously got fed up and went out and bought the hitting and pitching they needed.
The whole team has been great, but they wouldn't be where they are without Texiera and Sabathia right now.

I'm not even really knocking the Yankees here. I'm just stating some financial facts, and think for what they invested anything less than a world series will dissapoint.
I think thats fair
