Girardi is not so dumb now, is he?

When the Yankees and Rays were going down the stretch, there were a lot of Yankee fans killing Joe Girardi for not playing all of his veterans in every game. "They HAVE to win the Division!" was the rallying cry.I heard one person KILLING Girardi for not using Mariano Rivera in both games of a double header in the last meaningless weekend of the series.The Rays won the Division... the Yankees are

Hey Tampa... you are welcome

A disappointing season has come to an end. Devastating injuries, some subpar performances and the fact that the Rays and Yankees were just better did the Sox in.All things considered, 89 wins and not being eliminated until the last week wasn't too shabby.But hey, the Sox won 4 of their last 6 against the Yankees (and the two losses were extra inning losses.) So they showed a little bit of heart

Look at that! The Red Sox won a game!

Christ, I forgot what that even felt like.Well a night where the Red Sox and Yankees played a combined 20 innings, it is nice to know they had one more comeback and one more walk off win.Granted it was the Red Sox JV team beating the Yankees JV team... but think of THIS, lovers of Schadenfreude... if the Rays win a game against the 94 loss Kansas City Royals tomorrow, they will be AL East

The Buck (and the losing) stops here

As a selfish Red Sox fan, I don't like what I am seeing in the American League East.It used to be so simple... as recently as 2007 this was what playing in the AL East was like:The Yankees... man they are tough. The Sox can play well against them, but it is always a dog fight and the season series is always close.The Blue Jays... they have a few good players and can beat you if you are napping.
