Schilling pitched brilliant last night, shame the team had to lose in extras. Happens though when you get 2 pitchers like Schilling and Santana up against each other.

I only saw a little bit of the Yankee game, what I did see was A Rod strike out in I think the very first inning with runners on 1st and 3rd, 1 out, with one of the ugliest swings I have ever seen in the Majors.

Guys, get use to the back and forth between the Sox and Yankees this year. Neither team will have greater than a 3 game lead in this division. It comes down to how they play head to head in Aug & Sep.

I agree and that swing Arod took was hysterical. And kev, IM THE ONE!!! who was talkiing about his meaningless stats when the Yankees got him and gander argued with me about that and his just recently realized what I always said. I'm no redboarder, I was crying when we signed that overpaid egotistical gutless bum. Never has anyone hit so many meaningless homers in games where his team is up by 5 or down by 8 runs. Hes gutless, and its why he is booed so badly. Nyers hate the guy. What a clown, hes the anti-Jeter. Guy has no guts and always chokes when you need him. And with that contract, they are stuck with him.

I remember you saying that as well, now that you mention it. I'm just thankful the Sox never signed him. I know for a fact that the guys on the Red Sox did NOT want him in that clubhouse.

You know how much I love my Sox, but I am as big a Jeter fan as anyone. The guy is total class and plays the game the way it is supposed to be played.

Scuds said it on another thread...the Mets are the best team in NY right now. It is a pure joy to watch a kid like David Wright play baseball.

If you guys have not seen that double play Wright turned, please watch ESPN Sports Center or Baseball Today. Its amazing.

the kid is amazing Tim, he really is. And how much clutch, game winning hits has he had this year?

There is another pretty fair 3rd baseman in the NL from the same area of VA as David Wright. Ryan Zimmerman with the Nationals. Not hitting for as high an average, but he is ROCK SOLID at the corner.

I'd trade Arod for a good midle reliever and starting pitcher. Guy is a choke artist who makes hundreds of millions. No guts.

Wright will be one of the best when its all said and done. He has to work on his fielding though. Seems to struggle with the basics, yet can turn an occasional super play like last night. I still think Morgan Ensberg is the best fielding 3rdB in the NL, second only to Chavez for the A's.

Cant blame A Rod for signing the big contract. He pads his stats and has produced amazing ones consistently longer than anyone in the game. While hes not the guy you want up in the big situation, he shouldnt be looked down upon for accepting the biggest paycheck in baseball. Any of us would have too. Its the Yankee's fault, not A Rods.
