Posted September 18, 200420 yr Why does it seem like every game ends in dramatic fashion? These two teams better meet in the ALCS. Best rivalry in sports, no question.
September 18, 200420 yr The Sox didnt hit Mariano Rivera hard... A ground ball and a blooper did him in, like always. Its as though Mariano Rivera may just be too good. His greatness is actually his downfall. I cant even count the times that Rivera has given up ridiculous bloop hits.

September 18, 200420 yr I cant even count the times that Rivera has given up ridiculous bloop hits. 563191[/snapback] ...or how many times Kenny Lofton doesn't get a good jump on the ball. :confused

September 18, 200420 yr The Yankees had this game all but sealed.... I was already thinking about 5 and a half and 6 and a half ahead. Mariano wasn't his explosive type, although he struck out a couple on his fastballs, he walked one and hit one, and gave up bloops... had he not walked or hit the batters, it would have been a different story. He also did not start off the atbats with strikes, and often got behind 2-0.
September 18, 200420 yr That shirt Giambi's wearing in your sig is awesome. I nearly bought it when I was out West.
September 18, 200420 yr The day I met him and took that photo .... ESPN did an article about Giambi and they mentioned him wearing the In-N-Out shirt, I printed that out and put in a draw somewhere but that's pretty cool that I was there that day. That day was also the day they interviewed Derek Jeter about the rumors going around about him being a party animal.
September 18, 200420 yr Great game last night, as always. Looking forward to the rest of the matchups between these two.
September 18, 200420 yr From the game chat at Baseball Primer: Member #1: Why the #### is the game not being televised anywhere I can find? Fox is showing me motherf***ing cartoons.  Member #2: Actually, that’s just Scooter. :lol

I can't really say how the games go when the Giants play the Dodgers, cause I don't pay much attention. But with the Red Sox-Yankees, I do pay attention, and every game is close. Well, except today. Giants-Dodgers might have just as much historically, or maybe even more, but today that rivalry is pretty much a nonentity for the rest of the country.
September 19, 200420 yr Today was a great game... great. Great pitching, great hitting, Jeter hitting .288 and Arod .293.
September 19, 200420 yr Im so glad redsox won yesterday! too bad they lost today by a long shot.. We'll get em next time.

September 19, 200420 yr Today was a great game... great. Great pitching, great hitting, Jeter hitting .288 and Arod .293. 563917[/snapback]Â Don't forget about Bernie, 2-4 with 3 RBI. Â Why was this the day where I couldn't see the game? I would have enjoyed this game a lot!
September 19, 200420 yr Everyone contributed, it was the best hitting game this year for the yankees... they got key hits when they needed it.
September 19, 200420 yr The Yankee and Red Sox games always end in the same way that the Canes always beat the Seminoles. The Canes always wait until the end and they give the other team a chance a lot of times but they still pull out with it. This happens a lot between 2 teams.
September 19, 200420 yr MOOSE!! :arms :notworthy :arms GREAT game today. Mussina was at the top of his game. He really has looked good in his last 3-4 starts. Could he be back? :mischief2
September 19, 200420 yr We certainly hope so. 4.5 is a nice cushion to work with - hopefully we can continue to increase the lead.
