With the impending rain coming, I wouldn't be suprised to see Girardi start C.C. game 6 on Sunday (which I disagree with).

As a Yankee fan, you should disagree with most of this guy's decisions.
In the unlikely event that the Angels come back and win the next 2 games, do you think Girardi will be gone?

It's hard to fire a guy that's team won over a 100 games in the regular season. And push comes to shove, it's the players that didn't come throught last night. As much as I don't like many of his moves, last night really wasn't his fault. I thought he left Burnett in one batter too long. Then the A-Rod pinch run thing never came into play. And like I said last night, I really don't think that he would have pinched hit Hinske for Swisher if he was on the roster.
That being said, I think it's very unlikely that Girardi would be canned if they should end up losing to the Halo's.

Well I tend to agree with you. But the reason I ask is it is after all NY, and the Yankees and the pressure that comes from the owner of the most successful sports franchise ever.

Still not getting that pitching move Joe made in the 11th inning of Game 3. Lets hope that doesnt really end up costing him/them.

The move made no sense. But don't forget, it was a tie game there. No gaurentee that they were going to win that game anyway. Not sure how this series is going to play out, but if it ended right now the onus will be mainly on Swisher, Texieria (to a certain degree) and Hughes.

As long as a Stienbrenner is calling the shots, it is possible.

I am a Red Sox fan. I was being diplomatic and talking in the point of view of a Yankee fan as the great majority of people on here are.

I honestly think that the majority around here are Anti Yankees.

I believe the great majority of people arent Yankee fans. Plus Yankee fans deserve no camaraderie from other fans because, they have, you know, won the most World Series.

Ted Williams head may thaw out at the thought of a Red Sox fan actively rooting for that other team.

Honestly that would be me, but I consider myself a far bigger Red Sox fan than Yankee hater.

The Yankees winning the WS this year would not bum me out. I have far too many good friends and family members that love the Yankees.

The Red Sox losing to Tampa last year in Game 7 sent me into a 2 week depression. This year, it didnt hurt so much when they embarrased themselves in Game 3 against the Angels. I actually was amused by it because I cant stand Papelbon. Kind of reminded me how the team gave up in that series in 05 against the White Sox. Sure the White Sox were the far better team, but it was very apparent that the Red Sox could care less their season was over and were glad to get it over with!

Skip Bayless has redubbed him as "A-Ruth"! :zz:

You know they were secretly rooting for the Sox plane to crash and you to get swine flu when they won their two latest titles right?

I look at the Red Sox rivalry different these days. I always looked at it as the Haves and the Have nots. I took great pleasure in knowing that the Red Sox hadn't won in such a long time. Once they finally broke through (and especially the way they did it) the rivalry lost a little something for me.
And if I was a Red Sox fan, you a so happy that they finally broke the curse (or whatever you thought was wrong) that nothing else matters. If they never won another game again, you wouldn't care because it's like you saw the impossible. That's the way I felt when the Rangers won the cup in 94. I never thought I would see that in my lifetime and because I did, as crazy as it sound I don't die as much every year when they get knocked out of the playoffs.
