The Yankees? You mean there is another team in New York besides the Mets?

[rwilson99]

Forget about the Yankees... itLs the Rays you need to worry about bean towners

[misterrob]

It’s about time they put a team on the field that could compete. With all of the MLB welfare they have been getting over the years it’s utter BS that they have sucked for so long.

They have some great young players though.

[traderrob6]

Chicago has two teams and they are both leading their respective divisions.

How long will that last?

It’s nice to see Popi pop out of it. Today was a good sports day. Let’s see we had a hockey playoff game, a basketball playoff game & 3 baseball games on. I love my remote.

This is a beautiful day... if only we could freeze time..

The Yank offs in last place... the Red Sox in first place... The Mets spanking the Skanks and taking over as “the” team in NY.

It’s a beautiful thing.

Sox Back In 1st

Yes, Chicago has TWO first-place teams right now, the Sox and the Cubs.

Oh, you mean the OTHER Sox. . . .

WOO-HOO! See my post 9.

Ah, but will it continue once Hillary is out of the race-

?

[big'ol_freeper]

Yup.... The Curse of the A-Rod continues regardless.

Last year, I thought the Rays matched the Sox in all but three categories: Bullpen, payroll and attendance. We still dominate in the last two.

St. Pete will have to pass a 100% estate tax and give it to the Rays to match the Sox in salary. Has anyone in St. Pete found out about the Rays, or are the seats still filled with snowbirds?

According to ESPN Radio's Colin Cowherd, these things contribute to the Red Sox being good this year:

1) Excellent starting and relief pitching.
2) Superb hitting with the double threat of Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz, along with the hitting threat of other younger players on the team.
3) A cadre of excellent, young players that play superbly in the return to the small ball era now that MLB is cracking down on performance-enhancing drugs.

I can’t remember enjoying a Yankee game as much as tonight’s 11-2 drubbing by my beloved Mets...HAHAHAHAHA.

[ehit88]

“How long will that last?”

In the Cubs’ case all the way through October.

Ahhh, Stuck down there with all those drunken, red faced, odd looking Card fan dopes, I’ll pray for you.

[Roy Tucker]

Yes, as long as New York continues to re-elect her the curse will continue. The ony way the reverse curse can be ended is if New Yorkers vote Hillary out of office.

I'm a Red Sox fan, but I was cheering along with you during Sunday night's Mets-Yankees game. I was so happy that the Mets won... Carlos Delgado was robbed of a three-run homer in the 4th! That ball was clearly NOT foul, as was ruled by the bonehead umpires.

Good to see you think positive after a hundred years. My daughter lives in north chicago. Cub fans make her laugh, good luck to you. We are Met fans. Our pain happens in twenty year cycles.
