Is this the game thread?

I say we make it so.

2004 Yankees: Worst collapse in sports history. Get used to it - it's never going to go away.

Sports writers. Remember how NY's George King screwed Pedro out of MVP saying that he didn't think that pitchers should get it? Turns out he had voted for two pitchers in past years.

"I say we make it so."

Sounds about right to me.

Most valuable player.

Not most valuable batter.

Ortiz is great at what he does, but he's only half a ballplayer.

A DH shouldn't win the MVP.

Hardly . . .

The Red Sox lost the World Series. The Yankees lost the Pennant. Which is a greater loss?

Hmm...I think the Yanks will hit #27 before the Sox do.

I'll bet the Yankees hit 27 before the Bosox hit 6.

Blowing a 3-0 lead with your closer on the mound in game 4 is worse.

Besides, the Yankees choked in game 7 of the 2001 series.

Hmmm, maybe Rivera isn't all that when the big marbles are on the line

Rivera is the greatest closer in history.

Most valuable player.

So DH isn't a position in major league baseball?

Would this be the same MFYs that had their rear-ends handed to them by the O's (a team the Sox swept last weekend FYI) to the tune of 12-2?

I like the Red Sox's chances!

A Rod's fielding is so bad that it weakens the team.

Who is the most feared batter in the game today with the game on the line?

Jeter with his Drama Queen antics at the plate?

Gay Rod with his strike outs and pop ups when the game is on the line and home runs when the game is already decided?

No.

Ask any manager in the game and they will tell you that Oritz is the man that they fear the most.

Just do us Red Sox fans a favor and keep A-Fraud at third. He's on a record pace.

The Red Sox series cost us (Detroit) a top notch second baseman and batter, probably for the rest of the season. Grrrr

Let's hope he can make it back before the playoffs.
