Oracle- Yanks

[Gander]

They really could have stuck the dagger in us and been up 3 games instead of 1 1/2. Man, you must be scratching your head. A team this great losing 2 in a row, including a masacre today to the lowly Orioles?

I told you strength of schedule means zilch in baseball. Zilch. One team will win that division and it wont because of who they played. It will be because of how well they played.

Tim thats about the dumbest thing you ever said. Ever. You really believe that who you play doesnt matter? Wow!!! You better get out to Vegas Tim and bring a wheel barrow!!! You are gonna be the man!!! Those oddsmakers who have been setting lines(and winning the house money every year) use who the team plays as a basis for setting the line!! LOL!!!
Tim you are being delusional if you think that playing very good teams is as easy over a 40 game stretch as playing bad ones. You keep talking about this dagger. face it, you are done. You had us without 4 starters for most of the year. And no matter what you do tonight you will still wake up in 2nd place. Even if you win tonight you have to take 3 outta 5 at your place just to get into a tie.

Strength of schedule is a HUGE criteria in predicting long term success. The only advantage that the Sox have is that they have more home games left.

Epstein really **** the bed at the deadline and now Sox fans will be sleeping in it until October.

Red Sox play better against better teams. Go through their results, you will see what I mean. Same thing with the White Sox.

Mike, you said 2 days ago the Yankees would take the last 2 from Baltimore and the Red Sox would split the last 2 with the Tigers (they actually only played one, today is an off day). You said there was no way the Red Sox would get to 2 games by the time they played the weekend, you actually said it would be 4.

Now its 1 1/2 and we have you guys the day after you stumbled around like drunken sailors losing to Baltimore in front of 55K Yankee fans. LOL! I like our chances.

Spoken like a true Sox fan! I love it!

That pitching staff is being held together with needle and thread. When you are rolling out the fat daddy with his ancient back and his twenty rolls, you know you are in trouble.

You care to make a wager on this 5 game series?

I didnt think so.

Tim this is the most ignorant argument I ever heard.
Are you telling me that you would rather play the Yanks 40 more games than the Royals 40 times? Tim please, you are using irrelevant short term data to try and make a non existent already proven otherwise point. Easier schedule is an advantage, not a pre determiner, but if you are saying it doesnt matter thats just crazy.
