HOLY CRAP, the Yanks score 6 in the 8th and lead the game now

I really cannot believe they won that game. Great game and a BIG win

Nobody listens to me..... its mid-September... The Red Sox choke!

AGH!!!

Eh, the ONLY reason why BOS lost was cuz I have Okajima on my team! We all know that....

What about the invincible Papelbon then Geoff

SC, I've been saying all year, wait for the end of August/early September. Boston will choke. But they certainly have been hot, so I still have my doubts. I think that the Yankees gave up some early chances to score and were playing like crap. I think this game was luck, and I hope that they wake up and play better tomorrow.

I just looked at the rest of the Yankees' schedule after Boston. There is no way the Tigers are going to catch them in the Wildcard.

I agree. Dice-K threw 27 pitches in the first and the bases were loaded. They gave him some trouble again in the second but after that, they bailed him out. Also, Pettitte wasn't his normal Boston killer self yesterday. Just glad they got the win.

I'm not celebrating just yet, there's too much baseball left but I hope you're right

That play in the bottom of the 6th with Hinske charging home and knocking Posada over was one of the best I've seen this season. Thats the way baseball SHOULD BE played!!

Kudos to Posada for holding on to the ball (Hinske's a big guy and he really rapped Posada).

But can they(DET) catch up to the Tribe?

Don't get so bent out of shape. There's still time left. And don't take it personally if I root against the Tigers

I forgot this game is on. Hopefully it is on here.

Yes it is bottom of the 7th.

Posada is one of the most unrecognized Yankees. He's having a great season, and I feel bad that it's being overshadowed by some of the other players on the team. Not that the other players don't deserve the recognition, but Georgie is really wonderful.

Congrats on the win, SC. It was well-deserved.

I agree SB, Jorge is overlooked. But when you have Jeter, A-Rod and Mo amongst others, you can kind of see how he gets overlooked. I am incrediblly happy for him though on this record season of his

So, today I was at church serving breakfast after the 9:30 mass, when in should walk the former Yankees backup catcher John Flaherty. We commiserated on last night's loss and talked about what a great game they played on Friday night (when he was apparently announcing). I asked if he wouldn't mind signing an autograph for my daughter. He said that it was no problem. I grabbed a napkin off the table and whipped out a pen. He addressed it to her and wrote, Best wishes, Go Yankees! John Flaherty #17.

He then walked over to a little boy that goes to my daughter's school who was born with CP. This kid is a HUGE Yankees fan. I don't think I've ever seen him wearing anything except a Yankee jersey or T-Shirt. John Flaherty spent at least a half hour with this kid, analyzing both games. He was unbelievably sweet to him. What a nice guy!

Its great to hear stories like that Mrs. R, all too often players and retired players are complete jackasses towards kids, unless of course theres a camera around.

I've seen him at church before, and he always takes time with this kid. He's just very unassuming. He's got some cute kids of his own, too. Surprisingly, his wife was not that hot, though!

If you stopped COMPARING her to you maybe she would be

I met Lawrence Taylor who was high as hell and was cursing at people.
I met Jerome Bettis who was really a class act, talking to everyone, even when Security said no. He basically told them I say who I talk to and you just get rid of the people I say to lol

Now that's a great attitude!! OK, keep your fingers crossed for the Yankees tonight. Or not, if you're SC.

Why?? I have two fingers for the Yanks tonight.

yea im glad they got the wildcard lead and think theyll hold it, but since 2004 i dont celebrate till its really over or mathmatically impossible for the tigers to comeback.

I agree reynols. After last night, they only have a 2 1/2 game lead now

That's great, SB! I assume he's a parishioner there? It's great to hear stories like that...!

You're still a towel boy for the NFL? lol

LOL...No, I met Jerome Bettis a Professional Bowlers Tour stop and I met Lawrence Taylor at some fund raiser, there were no cameras around so he was a complete dick. He almost got into a fight with someone and was cursing at people and was obviously high.

I also met Marbury and Bobby Hurly and Jason Kidd, although I would have preferred his wife lol

Yes, he lives in the town next to mine. He's very popular when his daughter's school has their faculty-parents softball game.

J-E-T-E-R Thank you Schilling, have a good night, get the f*ck outta the game

...and the cockroach crawls out of the woodwork.
