Yes it was. He looked much sharper than Pap. The Sox will be a much better team with Foulke closing and Pap, Tim, and Knuckles (Tavares) setting up.

Stern continues to impress.

The best news for the Sox is that Papi and Manny have not even started to hit yet.

It was also nice to see Bard have a solid game catching Wake.

"my Yankees have more World Series titles, Championships, and Divisional Penants than any other team."

I live in the 21st century (2001 to present). Ancient history is interesting but not relevent. Talk to me when they win it in the modern era.

Remember my man, Bucky Dent? The Yankees were 14 1/2 games out of first place in July, 1978. This was the tie-breaker game. Sox choked and the Yankees went on to win the World Series against the Dodgers on the strength of Bucky Dent and Brian Doyle.

Bill "Woopsy Daisy" Buckner chokes off a sure victory for the Sox against the NY Mets in the 1986 World Series.

And to think the Red Sox were celebrating just a game earlier as if they won the Series. Perez and the Big Red Machine put a choke hold on the Sox during the 1975 World Series.

---

To quote Garrett Morris' character on SNL, Chico Escuela, "Baseball been berry berry good for the Hankees. Baseball been not so good for the Red Sox."

I can go on but I don't think there's enough bandwidth. I'm willing to accept the 2004 defeat. I even rooted for the Red Sox in the Series.

No matter what, we do love baseball

The NY Yankees in the 21st century have ZERO World Series championships.

Is that your final answer? I'm sorry, you're incorrect
1996

1998-- Best season record ever recorded in baseball!

1999

Finally, the Yankees won the World Series in the year...2000

[demlosers]

The year 2000 is part of the 20th century.

Good night.

Hello, anybody home?

Check the standings today.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

Check the standings today.

Yankee fans are now celebrating being in a statistical tie for first place with the Red Sox? Man, the tables have turned . . .

[Yankee]

We're playing through.

We're always better on the back nine.

We're always better on the back nine.

Too bad you have a dearth of pitchers who can get you to Mariano in the top of the ninth, my friend.

Detroit:

W: 71
L: 35

[Hemingway's Ghost]

Los Tigres are the story of the season. What a turn-around . . .

I've never been a huge baseball fan, I prefer football myself, but even I have been following them this year.
