    Yanks win the AL, no doubt about it
    The xavier nady trade was the best move prior to the deadline as far as a team that needed to make a move to fill a position that was sorely lacking depth. The yanks have been on a tear and Nady has stepped up to the big stage. This team finally, finally looks like a true team, which i havent seen from the yanks in a few seasons.

        Tough to say a team that currently wouldn't even qualify for the postseason will certainly win the pennant.

              Working at a Veterans Affairs office as basically the office gopher. Also working some of it off at the boy and girls association taking kids who suffer from hardships to do things(ie go to a mariners game, take em to play hoops, etc.) Its a great way to meet single MILFs, but most of these kids should be smacked,as they are fukkin awful. Its like having a whiny JJGold as a 10 year old, could ya imagine? Its atrocious at times

                Bold move, no doubt, but I really like the way this team has been playing and the chemistry is getting better by the day. I feel the Manny trade may divide the Red sox locker room if things start to go south. As for the Rays, they needed to make a deal to add a vet to that lineup and they didnt. They wont be able to hold on as their schedule at the end of the year is way worst than the yanks, they are on the road ALOT>

                    Of course they'll make the playoffs ... have every year SINCE 1994 ... along with 6 World Series appearances and 4 Championships ...

                    Every year people predict they won't make it. Every year they do.

                    (some people just don't get bored with being wrong, I guess)

                          Yankees are 5.5 games behind AL East leader Rays and are trailing both the Redsox and Twins in the wilcard race.

                            13 years and counting ...

                            (I'm not sure if the Yankees made the August 3rd playoffs 13 years in a row, though ... 'cause the season never ended then)

                            -- I do know in 1978 the Yankees didn't even make the August 3rd playoffs ... but yet still won the World Series. Strange, huh???

                              Mussina, Pettite, Rasner and Ponson will have a combined ERA of 6.00 in August and September. No chance of making the playoffs with these clowns.

                                Do you REALLY think the yanks arent going to make the playoffs in their last season at yanks stadium? I'm tellin ya, place your futures now.

                                Criticize, complain, show stats, whatever ya want, but its my opinion, however wrong or far-fetched you think it is... And I am not afraid to voice it.

                                If they fall on their face and miss the playoffs, Ill be the first to admit that I was way wrong, but thats not gonna happen.

                                    Have you looked at their pitching recently? Apparently not.

                                        They need to get a starter and get rid of Rasner. They need Wang back in Sept.

                                          Funny enough, NEP, I have ...

                                          Chamberlain, Mussina and Pettite is a solid starting three ... better than most, actually, this year ...

                                          Ponson has pitched well enough, especially as a #4 starter ... perhaps you missed the 7 shutout innings he put forth against the Angels ... Beckett wishes he could've done that, I think ...

                                          And Rasner is a dog ... but face it, not many teams have much more than a dog in the 5 spot ...

                                          As for their relief pitching, it has been great ... absolutely great.

                                          So, yeah, I've noticed their pitching ... my question to you is, how do you not know the reason they are in 3rd now is their hitting, not their pitching???

                                                Big D you might just be right.

                                                I am a hater.

                                                Let me rephrase....PLEASE...No Yankees this year. LOL.
