All-Season MFY IGT

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

4-10 v. the Devil Dogs this year. How great is that?

[Guest Valadius]

The Devil Rays have been GOOD in the second half.

[Guest SI Metman]

Manny being Manny and Schilling being Schilling?

Could have been much worse for the Yanks if Alois Leiter didn't come to the rescue and shut down the Sox for 5.2 innings.

Cleveland win later makes it 1.5 games back in the WC, and an Oakland win makes it a tie for second.

[Guest Willets Point]

Typical baseball manager quote but great to hear from this source:

]"We're running out of games," New York manager Joe Torre said. "This is our playoffs right now. We need to fight our way into the postseason.

[Guest Nymr83]

Olerud homers to get the big inning started :)
i hated seeing that guy in a yankee unoform and am very happy to see him hitting one off them for their hated rival.

Yankees down 4-2 to Toronto as Wright is knocked out by getting hit in the arm by a broken bat.

Let me choose this time to forward my long suppressed endorsement for new bat standards.

[Guest Frayed Knot]

Yanx lose 4-3.
Jeter after hitting a long HR in the 8th to pull within 1 run -- and stop me if you've heard this one before -- K'd in the 9th w/the tying run on 2nd.
Damn, I hate it when illusions of invincibility are shattered like that!

Jeter, btw, has adopted the annoying habit of questioning virtually every ball/strike call he doesn't agree with. I don't remember him doing that as much in the past as he is now.

[Guest Rotblatt]

It was the eigth time this year he's made the final out with the tying run in scoring position, according to AP Sports.

I wonder what the record is . . .

[Guest Edgy DC]

It's just cool that the counters are taking note and reporting.

[Guest Iubitul]

Gotta love it.

The Yankees broke the record for attendance in the AL with well over for million fans this season, tourism is alive and well in NYC....I watched a documentary recently about baseball in NY and even going back to the 20's and 30's Yankee stadium was known as a place tourists would visit.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Any reporter who looks at the AL Central and talks about Chicago choking is missing the story.

It's Cleveland's charge that is historic.

[Guest metirish]

Ok fess up, which one of youse is the culprit..

[Guest Rotblatt]

Scarlett Johansson? Really?

How sad. Maybe David Wright can woo her away from the Dark Side . . .

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I was surprised to learn that Jeter was black.

[Guest metirish]

The 60 Minutes bit on Jetes was pure bullshit, Ed Bradley is better than that, he never pushed him on Giambi and steroids, then again Jeter probably would not have done the interview if Bradley hit him hard, so it was a puff piece.

[Guest MFS62]

Set on fire?
Isn't he already a flaming asshole?
That would be redundant.

EDIT: Tonight's Yankee game againstthe O's is listed as "rescheduled". No new date announced. My guess is they'll play it if they need it.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

MFY or not, that's some sick shit.

I remember hearing about Idina Menzel receiving those threats, right around the time that she was leaving Wicked.. I guess she's on the list because she's green....

[Guest HahnSolo]

Actually tonight's game is the "rescheduled" game from an earlier rainout. So the Yanks are on for tonight.

[Guest MFS62]

Thanks for clearing that up.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Melvin Mora's 3-run HR makes it 17-9 O's and completely justifies the Bordick trade.

MFYs coughing this one up despite 2 HRs and 6 ribbies from Sheff.

Too bad, the Sawx are blowing one too.

[Guest metirish]

It was fun watching this game when it was close and torre had to run out scrubs like Rodriguez, Lieter, Franklin and Mendoza, Michael Kay was just beside himself,I mean just try to put a gloss on that shit...

[Guest HahnSolo]

Absolutely fantastic to watch Torre pull Sturtze after the Mora HR. There's two outs in the 8th of an 8 run game, and Torre yanks him. That's just embarassing to your player, and I, for one, enjoyed the heck out of it.

We have an instant nominee for line of the year.

[Guest Zvon]

Yanks back in 1st, for the moment.(Boston currently losing to Toronto, 7-2)

A-rod smacks his 47th homer and breaks the Yankees record for homers in a season by a righty, set by Joltin Joe DiMaggio in 1937

[Guest seawolf17]

I don't like the Yanks going into Boston up one game. Gotta get that game back, Beantowners.
