Bugg Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Yanks/Sawx; either the Yanks sweep-in which case 2 games back in the wildcard isn't all that bad over 20+ games. Or forget it. 4 games (a 2-1 Ynak split)over 20-odd is asking too much. Either make up 3 games here and now, or pack it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Skanks sweep they're in the middle of the WC battle. Bostons hurting right now. Should be a good series like usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faba Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Take it from a Mets fan- a 4 game deficit with about 25 to play is not insurmountable if the Yanks win two out of these three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCarl40 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I read somewhere if the Sox played .500 ball (16-16 over final 32 games) then the Yankees would have to go 21-11. However, the sox are play .667 ball since the deadline. And the Sox are hurting right now. Kei (Igawa) opportunity for the Yankees. If the rest of the season has been any indication we should see a couple of real tight ones. Still don't see a sweep either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetkid94 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 NEED A GOD DAMN SWEEP! The pitching matchups are giving us the chance to sweep. We have to take advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt39 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Considering Toronto has Doc and Burnett throwing against us this weekend, we pretty much need to sweep this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to take advantage. they are not giving us a sweep.. Lester is a yankee killer even tho moose is pitching he would have to be amazing with the way lester pitches to the yanks.. Byrd Vs ponson? ponson last pitched against bosox and got rocked. so the pitching matchups are giving them the advantage. i hope for a sweep but its hard and yanks def dont have advantage for sweep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBrick Wall Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I think in the last two series with the Sox, the Yanks need 5 of 6. It'll be tough to win 2 of 3 in Boston, let alone sweep, so better do it now. This is the Yankees season right here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's struggling as of late, and this is a perfect time to take advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drago Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 i'm hoping for a yanks sweep, only so it drops boston and makes it more likely that the twins or white sox take the wild card. It would be nice to see the playoffs without the same teams for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeebers Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Looks like Mussina, and Petitte have come to the conclusion that they will not pitch to Pudge, so much for him being a great replacement for Posada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head to head that is a mismatch the yankees way as far as lineups. But they have to play the game to be corny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't complain about Remy. I have to put up with Michael Kay who just came in his dockers when Molina hit that single. And Remy isn't the only one saying the Yanks might be done without a sweep.
