Whoopee! The team that money bought won. What a surprise.
Unfortunately, I'm an Angels fan so I no longer have solid ground to stand on as the Angels seem to be trying to become the Yankees of the west.

I was surprised to see alot of writers picked the Red sox to win the division.
say waht?
I'm a severe Yankee hater , but If they don't win that divison by 10 Games I'll wear a Yankees t shirt.
David Wells is their # 2 guy in the rotation?? Puhlease.

RE: THE EVIL EMPIRE
Pitching: Brown is already on the DL and they are not deep on the mound--Mariano has already experienced elbow problems this spring...and the BIG UNIT is a number of years the old side of 40
HITTING--great starting lineup but not a deep bench---Bernie concerns me in CF and is Sheffield healthy ?
Catching--what do they do if Posada , who seems a bit overweight this year, goes down with injury
Lot of question marks--- at the end of the day I like Boston in AL East

Sheff and Bernie are another year older. The unit's 40 year old right knee is gimpy at best and you better hope and pray that Shemp Matsui doesn't trip on the clubhouse steps. He's the whole team. Giambi is off the juice now and AFraud and Capt. Intangibles show me nothing. Hear me? NOTHING!!
Tino Martinez? You really must be kidding me. You were better off with 54 year old Phony Clark.

TR,
I'm not a Yankee fan but I'll take them to finish ahead of the Sox in the East. Loser buys the coffee if we ever run into each other (or whatever you want to drink within reason if the Sox win). The Sox are still a very good team but George will buy whoever the Yankees need down the stretch.

Do you think the Sox are out of cash?

Out of cash? Wow...I would hope not. They sellout just about every night, have a great ballpark, and are the defending champs. Jeez...spend the money, raise ticket prices $10.00 and everyone will still come to the ballpark. They should have never let lowe or pedro go, great thing to re-sign Jason, and could have still had money to go after Beltran. I just don't like Manny in left field, brutal out there. Make him a DH. I would rather have ortiz at first, and manny DH. Just my opinion.
Don't see how anyone could not pick the yankees to win the division. Barring any unforseen injuries, how can they not win it. An all-star at every position, and a pitching staff from hell. Really suprised they didn't sign beltran and kick bernie to the curb, but that is another story. Don't think the Yankees have long though. Pitching staff is old, Sheff and Bernie can't have much longer, and NOTHING in the minor league system. But George will just keep buying and buying, and they remain in contention. If they stay healthy (who cares about brown), I see them winning maybe 105 to 108 games, easy. Too deep and too talented. Watch A-Rod have a big year, and Unit will win 25 easy. I hate the evil empire, but you can't argue with their talent. They have the best 25 in baseball no doubt. Only team who is scary like them, is St. Louis, and Boston showed their weaknesses in the series last year.

yeah -I'm sure every team in baseball would HATE to have the Yankees "lack of pitching depth."
The big question is- what small market pitcher is currently auditiong for his mid- season move to the Yankees?
And speaking of the other side of 40, if Schilling goes down, anybody like that Boston rotation??......
anybody ....<crickets> ....
At the end of the day we shall see
And while you are watching that watch the Tigers !!!!!!

If you are betting against Schilling please let me know.
Ok-I'm letting you know, I'm betting against him having a big year.
I'm betting against him going through the rest of the season [ie after he comes off this stint on the DL] injury free.

We shall see. 50 years from now, his wins in the 2004 ALCS game 6 and World Series Game 2 will be the most widely known baseball legend of the previous 100 years.
Please tell me the last player before Schilling to under go surgery twice, then the same week carry their team to the most improbable comeback in the recorded history of team athletics?
He will start 28-30 games winning 18-20 again. Write it down. Now!
Perhaps you weren't aware he threw 8 1/3 innings Saturday dominating the Red Sox farm hands allowing 1 whole run.
Schillings last outing

I have to say, even though the Red Sox lost 2 of 3, they showed me something in that series.
They're not going to give up that crown easily.

Its still early. Foulke gave up the walk off dinger in game 2, but Mo Rivera is a gas can anymore. They jumped on him with both feet twice. I hear he has tendinitis.
They can't trade prospects for more pitching, they already did that to get Loiza and Vasquez, and have no more prospects. To replace someone on the roster, they'll have to trade someone on the roster, or just buy a big contract, which is actually possible, but not preferable because you are at the other teams complete mercy.
Nobody really wants any of the Yankees big league contracts.

let's not get too crazy w/ rivera.
Ceratinly wasn't his performance, but he got the double play to get the save.
As any reader of moneyball knows , a pitcher can only get the ground balls. Whether or not those ground balls find holes beween fielders is out of their control. That's what happene dto Rivera.
(Just out of curiosity, does anybody know:
A> A team has ever batted around on him before?
B> He's not made it through an inning before? )
The Sox do not throw in the towel, though, when he gets on the mound. the other teams do.
