As was I, but all that is gone now.
Personally I'd just prefer they actually develop some talent in-house. 10/16/2004 11:09:26 PM |

i was born and raised a yankee fan also. i supported and cheered this team when jim abbot, dave winfield, don mattingly, paul o'neil, wade boggs played for the team. when they hadnt a long championship in a long time.
they do develop in house talent, but as of late it hasnt been that good. i mean they still have their farm-teams in the works.

Uh, with the exception of Mattingly (and Abbot sorta) weren't all of those players well established before they became Yankees?
I can only imagine how much it must suck to be a Red Sox fan right now.

yea but that wasnt the point i was making. the point was that during that time, yankees were not winning world series, let alone goin far in post season. but there were still fans, including myself that supported them. 10/16/2004 11:39:48 PM |

I just don't understand it...how can it come sooo easy for one franchise and be the hardest thing in the world for another....
about the 5th inning it felt like I was punched in the gut...I don't even know what else to say except FUCKING YANKEES 10/17/2004 2:56:02 AM |

I'm not a Yankees fan by any means... and I particularly hate the fact that baseball has no salary cap (being a Pirates fan and all)...
But you can't completely discount the talent they've developed in their system.
You can certainly make a case for Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera being the two most important cogs in their championship runs... Also several pieces of their current team were acquired by trading their farm talent for guys that could help them win now... If you give up a Nick Johnson to land a Javier Vazquez then Vazquez indirectly is a product of your farm system... 10/17/2004 7:24:00 AM |

^ yea I agree...they are more 'homegrown' then most teams around baseball but they still can and will go out and buy everyone under the sun that they deem necessary (or so Boston doesn't get them)
After sleep I still say maybe this was meant to be...when the RedSox finally undo the curse it is going to be something like rallying to win 4 in a row against the best hitting team in the history of baseball...Not saying that it will happen but it would make sense after 86 years of suffering though
as for right now I'm doing something I never thought I would...tipping my hat to the Yankees...they have put on an offensive show such that I have NEVER seen before 10/17/2004 12:13:59 PM |

Jeter's ball hit Lowe in the leg, too bad it didn't put him out for the game, that would have been HILARIOUS 10/17/2004 8:22:04 PM |

finally Matsui doesn't get a hit, he is easily ALCS MVP although they probably will give it to Arod 10/17/2004 9:27:05 PM |

don't get me wrong I hate the Yankees but I love baseball more and I recognize the Yankees have been lighting the Red Sox pitchers up and their pitchers as they have done the past 7 or 8 years have become dominant. Joe Lieber is the future of Yankees pitching. The Red Sox pitching has fallen a part. 10/17/2004 9:50:15 PM |

is it just me or did they something earlier about Manny being so expensive the Yankess would probably the only team that wanted him when he becomes a FA? 10/17/2004 9:52:10 PM |

Dear god its not even the 7th inning and the Red Sox are already getting runs, LOOK OUT 10/17/2004 10:08:49 PM |

Looks like NYM410, Konami, and BigPapa, are the only redsox fans still alive in this thread. I commend all three of you for sticking with them even though they are down 3-0
Hopefully it ends tonight, but if it doesnt, then your buddies will come back out of the woodwork. 10/17/2004 10:20:26 PM |

^^^ so it must be "ironic" that you post like hell when the redsox whoop ass against the yanks in regular season, and when they beat up on the angels in the ALDS, but when they are down 3-0 in the ALCS you blame it on studying?
whatever eases the pain

The Red Sox are a poor defensive team... been killing them all year.
Not to say that any of those plays were routine, but 3 infield hits in one inning is just excrutiating 10/17/2004 10:38:50 PM |

Is it just me, or does it seem like if the Sox had a 10 run 7th inning, the Yanks would just come back with a 11 or 12 run 8th? 10/17/2004 11:00:22 PM |
