BF_in_Indiana Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 No, I agree with the post saying they are missing the character guys. They have too many Gary Shefields and not enough Derek Jeters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VabeachBledsoefan Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Yanks just missing the pitching , that's all it is. IMHO 78504[/snapback] I just cannot celebrate yet...I want to but i wanna be sure....I do feel confident though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanNC Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 This Yankee team is a rotisserie team come to life. What they are missing are the players who played roles, but were huge in winning titles...like Scott Brosius and Paul O'Neill. Sure, Sheffield, A-Rod and Mussina are great players...but whose roles did they take? The Yankees of 2004 just don't have the role players who are important on just about every single championship team. Despite what some fans think, you NEED the players who do the dirty work, but who don't necessarily get the hype, in order to be successful. Mike 78501[/snapback] What a great post.

Greg de'Ville Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Something I picked up in the latter stages of Game 4 and certainly in Game 5. These Yanks didn't have the killer instinct, they seemed very blase'. Perhaps the 19-8 verdict in Game 3 was the worst thing that happened to them because they thought it was going to be a 4-game walkover. Never got the "mo" back when Mo gave up that tying run in 9th in Game 4. If this score holds, it will be a modern-day Boston Massacre...in the Bronx!

Greg de'Ville Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 ...Sox have stranded 5 the last two innings (loaded in the 4th, 2 on in the 5th). You can't get enough against the 'Ghees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwovince Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 The Yankees are just not they Yankees they used to be with that killer instinct and Roleplaying players. But im sure they will buy that all up in offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BF_in_Indiana Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 I expect major changes in NY after this series if they go on to lose this game. They will certainly make some moves to improve their pitching and will make a pitch for Beltran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg de'Ville Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 A 1-hitter going huh isnt it great. 78520[/snapback] Steiner & Sterling pointed that out. Lowe has been superb on two days rest to this point. If he can go 6, the Sox will be in really in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GO SOX, it's all about HEART! 78521[/snapback] You can't buy heart and passion and guts. We all know this to be true from watching our favorite football team. You either have these things (early 90s teams) or you don't (seemingly, the current edition). Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg de'Ville Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Nothing across for Yanks in the 5th. 12 outs to go. A one-hitter for Lowe through 5. 8-1 Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Why do the Sox batting helmets look like they got them used (for around 2 years) from some inner city little league program that has no money to replace them? Did they spend too much on Pedro instead? Is there some supistition behind replacing them?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg de'Ville Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Jim Thome's batting helmet's the same way. Loaded with pine tar. Grungy as all get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Just got it wrong... Thought the Yanks would pull the 9-2 victory! To all the BoSox fans out there congrats (early), the better team is winning. Walks and HR will kill you. Not over yet. Not conceeding the game but, it seems over. I do need some sleep. Again, congrats and kudos... It is your time to shine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg de'Ville Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Uh-oh. Pedro's warming up. Why, Tito? Keep Lowe in unless say he gives up two baserunners to start the 6th. Then go to the pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 I think this has to rank right up there with one of THE biggest chokejobs in sports history. Being up 3-0 in the ALCS with the lead going into the 9th inning of game 4, and then losing the next 4 games. Unbelievable! Congrats to the Sox, but to truly exorcise "the curse," they need to win the WS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
