<< WOW! I'm amazed!

NOT!

Gee, that's refined. Anyhow, obviously you didn't have the pleasure of watching him close last year. You knew all hell was gonna break loose when he started adjusting his hat like mad.

Yankees vs. Red Sox is a rivalry in much the same way as hammer vs. nail. it's OK, anyone can have a bad century.

<< Umm, Red Sox rule. Umm, Lowe almost pitched one earlier this year, he's pretty good as a starter I guess. Umm, nuff said. Oh wait, not yet, umm, the Yankees SUCK!

EDIT: LINKAGE, CHECK IT OUT!!!

Dude, my grandma can pitch a no-hitter against Devil Rays. How about when Mussina came one pitch from perfect game against your beloved Red Sox.

I'd suggest you get someone to scout your grandmother then, because this is the first time it's been done. A no-hitter is a no-hitter, it's a feat, at least a respectable person can give credit where it's due. However, I imagine that's too much from the bandwagon crowd eh?

Pitching a no-hitter is one of the hardest things to do in sports. More people wear World Series rings than have no-hitters. This was a pretty good one as they go since Lowe only faced 28 batters. The even more elusive goal is to retire 27 consecutive batters.

Congratulations Derek! Now let's see you win a World Series for a change? Will it be one century?

I read a great article the other day about how people don't hate the Yankees; they hate Yankees fans. I wonder why?

Your glib sense of superiority is undeserved. Here's why the Yankees win:

Why the Red Sox lose, however, is a different matter. :)

I knew it was almost a matter of time before somebody brought salary into this. Well the Red Sox are no stingy spenders themselves, they weigh in at $108,366,060 (2nd highest). If we are going to say that the amount a team spends is related to how they win, what about the Texas Rangers? 3rd highest payroll, always in the basement of the American League. At least when George spends money, it brings results.

Read this part of my post:

As far as the Rangers go, they spent too much payroll on one individual person. Team management has a lot to do with the situation; if you put Steinbrenner's willingness to spend under the control of Pat Gillick, for example, you could even make the Mariners a team that would win the World Series. :D

Money has a lot to do with it. Management has an equal portion; I seriously doubt you would argue that the former Boston GM (the name now eludes me) was an effective GM.

Nothing more annoying than mindless lovers of the Yankees. Note: that doesn't necessarily mean you, prodigy, or anyone else. I know quite a few Yankees fans whom I respect for their knowledge of baseball. I have no respect, however, for those who boo when the team isn't winning, and only enjoy it when Steinbrenner pulls out the big bucks to buy another ring.

That being said, the Yankees don't suck. They have a remarkably good team. Then again, you can get a damned good team for $125m, if you have a bit of intelligence with your checkbook.
