Been a Yankee Fan since 1946. They don’t start to play ball until mid August. Its their MO most of the time.

I'm not concerned: Me neither:
Guthrie v. Wang? Tight game.
Cabrera v. Karstens? O's
Bedard v. Hughes? O's and another notch for the Cy Young.

Crying about payroll discrepancies is the sign of a loser Nothing wrong with socialism in sports. Let everyone compete on an equal playing field.

Steinbrenner and the other big market owners have been pouring big money into the pockets of the smaller market clubs for a while now -- "revenue sharing." But rather than using that money to build their teams the owners of these smaller market clubs are just pocketing it. Evidently winning baseball games isn't their primary concern. Steinbrenner, otoh, lives to win. ...and that's why he spends like he does.

Jeez, could the Giants borrow the Yankees offense for a series? A game? An inning? A couple of ABs?
There’s really something humbling about looking up at the NL West at 16 1/2 games out.

Itll be the biggest choke in MLB historyBigger than in '78? How far ahead was Boston that year, it was about the same lead, wasn't it?

The comback in 1978 was 14 games; 2007 would be 14.5. Plus this year’s RS team supposedly has the “best pitching in baseball.”

Happens every year -- Yanks overtake the Sox in the Dog Days. Nine straight division titles. Fans of both teams expect it, and they're always right. This year, however, will be particularly brutal for the RS Nation.
14.5

Ahhh. Despite the comeback, do you think the Yanks have a chance to win it all again? I’m not sure if they have as good of a rotation as they’ve had back in the late 90s, do you think Wang is their best pitcher right now? Offense only takes a team so far in the postseason.
Just curious.

Well count me in the die hard side. I have been a fan since the fourth grade, World Series, 1964. I went through a lot of lean years until George Steinbrenner bought them and made them winners again! And just to irritate the Steinbrenner haters out there, God Bless George Steinbrenner!!:)

you think Wang is their best pitcher right now? Offense only takes a team so far in the postseason. I don't think Wang is their best pitcher (especially lately), but he's very solid. Pettitte has been steady as well, and we're heading into the time of year he usually shines. Clemens looked like the Rocket of old in his last appearance. The Hughes rookie is looking really good -- the future ace of the staff. And Mussina has been consistently very good this last couple months. And for relief the Yanks have the best closer in the history of the game (Rivera) and a rookie set-up man (Chamberlain) that throws 100mph heat and looks as unhittable as Gossage in the 70s.
So the Yanks are far from only offense.

Ain’t gonna happen and even if it did would not be devastating. Tigers almost blew a 14 game lead last year. In fact the Yankees had a 14 game lead on the Sox in 2003 and Boston got to within 2 games of the Yankees in September. Yanks will stay close and fade by mid-September. Their pitching still sucks.

Aint gonna happen and even if it did would not be devastating. You Red Sox fans are nothing if not amusing. Blowing a 14.5 game lead and then losing to the division to the Yanks wouldn't be devasting? lol....maybe if you keep repeating that ridiculous mantra enough you'll actually start to believe it.
The Yanks' 10th straight division title is in the bag. 1978, Part 2. .

Exactly how does that "in the bag" thing work?
