Back to reality here.The score was 14-10 because you both got shtty pitchin'.Let me enlighten folks here about this grand mystery of why the Angels(a team 5 games over .500)can hang with the YANKS.The Halos have got very good starters.Yes,they are weak- minded lazy people,but when they have a chance to beat the most popular team in America,they can do it 50-60% of the time.The Halo hitting is easily stopped by very good starting pitching(something you don't have.)

Equation:

Very good starter for Halos can go 6- 7 innings ,and tie up mighty Yank bats + ........Average

starter for Yanks(can't keep Halos from getting 2-5 runs)=Halo win


Yeah,you can go through Boston's shtty pitching,and outslug them,but can you beat a good starter? Not usually.You had the starting pitching in the glory years of the 90's.You are kid'n yourself if you think Too Fong Woo,Wright,Johnson,Mussina etc. are good enough to hold up in a pitcher's duel.They aren't.You will get beat in the post by a team with better starters.

13-5 Yankees so far today after Cano's three run blast...this is a tail-whoopin' by any measure!

Boston should have sent out their pitcher with a white flag in the first inning.
They are getting seriously embarrassed.

Boston sucks. It is so good to see them lose. I hate those f*uckers.

LOL!
I'm not quite that passionate about it. I know a few people that love Boston.
I don't "hate" them.
I've just been a Yankee fan since I was a kid.

Always amazes me when people act like the Yankees did something that is hard to do.Folks,it isn't.O.K.? LOL..My God people,they used 7 guys in that game that make over 10 million a year.Boston used 1(tomorrow they will use 2.) I think the series has been a let down .Boston's pitching has been off against most teams lately.I only saw Beckett and Del Carmen walking guys,and then I turned away from the one-sided mess.Ump's strike zone was pretty tight on some of Beckett's pitches.An ump that has a narrow zone like that always is the last thing people should want to watch.Del Carmen was a different story(almost all obvious balls.) The Yanks are really only beatable one way(a good starter coming to pitch.)Boston got 5 runs today,and 10 runs last night.That means Yank pitching is average.If they run into a top pitcher,they will get beat 5-2 etc.Didn't we see that a couple times last weekend?

I'm far from a Yankee fan but I appreciate good players and good teams...the Yankees are a good team with good players! The tired argument that they buy championships is simply sour grapes...the Mets don't have 26 titles (OK, they haven't been around as long but you get my point), the Yankees have the money partly because they are in a major market but largely because of their winning history! Compare their history to major market teams like the White Sox, Cubs, Dodgers etc. Also, they bring some pretty good players up through their farm system...Cano anybody?? Boston could have had A-Rod but they backed down, they also sold a fair pitcher to the Yanks awhile back, what was his name? Babe something??? I think he went on to have a decent career and hit a few home runs! I'm a Twins fan so I have every right to resent the Yankees, instead I appreciate what George does, it is good for baseball and gives a lot of angry and frustrated folks something to hate!
