Oh, i did.

Game on brother!

My prediction of how well the Yankees will do in any given year has always depended on where they are at the All Star break. History shows that if they are within 5 games of the top (In most years they have been on top) it bodes well for them. Well Trauma 1, get ready cause flaws and all here we come. Talk to ya next weekend.

I am so disappointed how did Mike Mussina not make the all star game. He should be starting it let alone not making the team

Thats being a little dramatic, I agree he should be an All-Start but def not the starter. Cliff Lee should IMO, he's been dominating all year.

I have been watching the yank's latley along side the six and Rivera is stupid good. Like in a whole other level than any other pitcher in MLB. He paints and I mean PAINTS the corners, if he misses he misses to where the ball is suppose to go (inside pitch drifts too far inside and vic versa). I have not seen him throw a pitch that is not on the black of the plate with his fastball or cutter. It is truly amazing how good he is.

Im not a jaba fan either

my feeling was that mussina deserves to make the team, no doubt, but I thought out of respect for the yankees and it being in the stadium I thought that they would give him the nod.

Rivera is the greatest closer of all time, bar none!!!


Joba is awesome. He could be one of the top starters in the leage soon by age 23. He is a phenom. That said, between he and mussina thats all they have right now

Good point about Moose.

Yea anyone who doesn't recognize that Rivera is the best doesn't know baseball IMO. I can't even begin to explain how good his stuff is.

I dont know about Jaba, he doesn't have command of 3 good pitches, which you need to be a great starter. But given his age this is somthing that is doable. I think they should put him in the rotation until Rivera is done then pass the torch. Escpecially with all the pitching injures they have had this year Jaba needs to be in the rotation. But Jaba would be a dominant closer no doubt.

Best rivalry in sports no matter what time it is. Question though, what was your reaction with Manny in the ninth against mo going 3 and out?

What I really want to know though, is how in the hell are we both looking up at the Damn Devil Rays at the All Star Break (yes I know its Rays), but this was the damn Devil Rays we are talking about. wttttttttttfffffffffffffff!

Manny had the hit that won the game tonight though.

They're young, fast, and dynamic. I kind of saw it a few years ago, but didn't expect this. Howver, it will fade off. They don't have the experience to hold it up when it counts right now. The sox and yanks will both finish ahead of them......for how long though, who knows. They're pretty damn good.

We ain't afraid of no stinkin Rays.

I have had arguments with baseball fans, who claim rivera is good but not great. makes me laugh every time.
