Baseball thread No. 8 - play nice

You could make an argument for Chien-Ming Wang as the MVP of the Yankees. He has the most innings pitched on the staff and his 12 wins are tied for tops with Mike Mussina. Can you imagine where the Yankees would be without Wang? Yankees fans love the Wang

 

So I hear.

 

But Brewers fans love the Bush more

But neither team's fans love them more than Seattle fans love Kuntz

 

Red Sox fans need their KY

So Lou, are you still guaranteeing that the Sox will win the division, or do the dog-ass Yankees have you scared?

 

The Red Sox may lead the Yankees by just 0.5 games but they are in a very good position to run away with the division. The Red Sox have so far played 9 more road games than home games which means the Sox will be playing the larger percentage of the remaining games at Fenway where they so far have a .696 winning percentage. The Yankees remaining schedule is about evenly split between road and home games. The bad news is for Toronto - they're in the opposite situation from the Red Sox. They've played 9 more home games than road games. That means they play the majority of their remaining games on the road (which also means I'm probably going to be wrong about them winning the Wild Card).

I think the Red Sox may end up with the best record in the AL

 

I hope you're right, but I fear you're wrong.

 

I've made it a point to read Buster Olney's blog every day, now that Gammons is recovering. There was one item that really caught my eye ...

And the Red Sox had just signed Coco to an extension not long ago. I wonder what kind of trade Theo has in the works.

 

Franco steals one... is he the oldest guy ever to do that?

 

If Tom Emanski was watching El Duque's last at-bat, he just had a heart attack.
