Cespedes with a clutch jack in the 8th...could be the difference maker
Ties among four teams
The four teams draw lots, as teams A, B, C, and D. On the first day team B plays at team A and team D plays at team C. The next day the winners of these games play each other at the ballpark of either team A or B (depending on who won the game).

Cespedes with a clutch jack in the 8th...could be the difference maker
Tampa is on a winning streak. Orioles are out of luck. lol
Winning 3 straight games against them will take something extra.
Yankees only have to win 2 of 3 but we all know the sweep is in order here.
Dude, I've never seen another supposed Red Sox fan who throats the Yankees the way you do. You're just regurgitating the same over and over. Have some pride and jump off the nuts of your most hated rival. "The Yankees are just too good! snarf, snarf"
If they were so good then their half-billion dollar payroll and superior rotation would be more than enough to hold off a .230-batting lineup with no true Ace in their rotation for the division.
You had similar convictions regarding the Chisox-Tigers race, and we saw how that turned out.
I'm not on anybodies nuts, specially the Yankees.
I'm just being a contrarian. You're calling me a bandwagoner when you yourself jumped on the Orioles because they suddenly are in the race.
Just calling it as I see it.
And all that Yankees-Red Sox rivalry, I'm not into that bull .
EDIT:
Also check out my latest post on the Chicago-Tigers thread. I'm not just being one sided.
I could give a about either team.
In this thread alone:
This is an especially good one:
I made no bones about jumping the O's bandwagon... yeah I'm pulling for them since they are the local team and my team is long gone from contention. I just don't understand why it's so hard for you to say the same. You obviously live in the NYC area and have pro-Yankee sympathies. Sure, that's incredibly odd for most baseball fans who have a basic understanding of the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry, but to each his own.
Those comments were made at the time of each game while being played live. lol
Are you going to sit there and nit pick everything I said?
I'm not denying that I rather have the Yankees win rather than the Orioles. Doesn't mean I want the Yankees to win the world series.
Beside the fact everyone seems to be on the Orioles bandwagon for like two minutes, I have never particularly liked them. Specially after what happened last year with them knocking the Red Sox off playoff contention.
And as far as the rivalry goes, I dont care about that.
that happened in the 20s, 30s. 40s, even the 70s have nothing to do with me. This is not a religion or a gang where I should care what the oposite side says or does.
You mean that happened in 2003, 2004, and the fight for the division that's been going on since 1997?
Do you also root for the Lakers when the Spurs are out? Because that's exactly what it's akin to.
First of all I like Baseball, I dont live it.
You really are nitpicking.
In terms of head to head is not even a compe ion so technically no rivalry there. You will obviously have personal rivals in any sports but the only reason the Yankees and Red Sox are the main rivals is because 1. the media says so and 2, because they happen to be in the same division.
Are you expecting me to take arms because some bag yankees fan says he's team is better? Sorry I'm not about that.
Would people give a if the Yankees were in another division? I think not.
Rooting for the yankees to win against an equally hated team is not far fetch.
And nope, I wouldn't root for the Lakers if the Spurs were out. I wouldn't mind if they were to win a series against a team I didn't like however. For instance the Thunder or a team that previously knocked out the Spurs.
Do I want the yankees to win a world series? No. Do I want the Lakers to win another championship? No
It's cool man, I feel ya. When my teams are struggling i always have the Celtics, Patriots, Seminoles, and Braves to fall back on.
Its so awesome seeing the Falcons 4-0 right now. Matty Ice is the truth!
I'm hoping the Cards can win back-to-back WS!!
Hornets really don't have a rivalry so I can't use them in this analogy
Real talk, though...Are the Cards your most hated team because of in-state rivalry? The '85 WS is one of the most underrated ever, especially Game 6. Just so happens to be overshadowed by the crazy '86 series. What team do ya'll hate the most in your own division?
The Cards are hated, but I hate em a little less since LaRussa and Pujols are gone.
In the 80s, the Yankees were hated due to the rivalry in the late 70s. Still watch George Brett's upper deck home run against Goose in the 1980 ALCS. That was a great rivalry. The Royals spent as much as the Yankees did back then.
In the division, the Twins and White Sox are the two least favorites now. Hate the Twins even though not as much since they suck now. Always hate the White Sox. I hated the Indians in the 90s when they were damn good with Belle, Lofton, Manny, and company.
the O's manage only 2 hits off Shields but still win. O's only had 29 plate appearances.
Wow. Tie game. I thought the Sox would screw the Yankees out of the division, but they still need to catch the Marlins in losses.
Jeter double. This one looks done.
Bailey is a worthless human being.
Sox lose 3-4 in a game with playoff implications.
Heard of this before?
Hopefully the ricer has one good game left in him
Not.
Talk about your worthless sack of pitcher.
That got is shot. Send him back to ing japan or something.
Yankees win their division.
