For those youngsters that don't remember the Vikes' futility of the '70s, one could pose a parallel with the Buffalo Bills of the '90s, who were actually WORSE than the Vikes in that their four blown SBs were CONSECUTIVE. Now, THAT whomps!
WyomingGrizFan said:Still like the fact, hopefully that it isn't overlooked any, that the Yankees started a rookie pitcher, RHP Matt DeSalvo. If he pitches even close to that again/career it'll definitely be acceptable.
7 IP, 3 hits, 1 run. I'd say that's pretty good for the first start of any pitcher.

Being a Cowboys fan, I remember those years.arty:

If the Sux can barely eke out a 5 game cushion with all the injuries the Yanks have had, they have no chance when the Yankee pitchers are healthy, and Clemens joins the rotation. Look at what he did with Houston and that pitiful run support. The Yanks lead the majors in runs scored.

Back to Clemens....What did he do in Houston? Last year he pitched for 3 or 4 months with a 7-6 record, and usually couldn't make 6 innings against the NL lineups. Do you really think he'll pitch more innings for more months against tougher lineups? I'd say it is doubtful.
And do you really think the Yankees will win the AL East this year?

You are making this too easy. I am batting .750 off you, rubber arm man. Clemens posted a 2.30 ERA, so obviously he NEVER got any decent run support. He would have gone about 12-2 in NY last season with their run support. His ERA was unbder 2.00 the previous year. He is still dominant. Let me know when you can make a legit point. :dance: :laugh:

Well, I was asking if you really thought the Yanks would win the AL East this year, because I thought maybe you would be foolish enough to bet on it. What with quotes like the 'Sux have no chance this year'.
But I wasn't quick enough. And now the Yanks are so far back that I don't know if I even could make that bet in good conscience. Taking money on such an obvious sucker bet just wouldn't feel right. :dance:

Are you kidding? Red Sox fans have a lot of faults, but not being around when the Sox aren't winning has never been one of those faults.
So in your world Yankee fans from out west aren't bandwagoners, and Red Sox fans disappear when the team doesn't do well?
Oh and I guess your non-answer means that despite your bluster, you aren't expecting the Yankees to actually win the division. At least you are somewhat grounded in reality.
