yeah seriously.. voltron we should bet, you will be happy to give me 8:1 odds of course, on the yankees not making the playoffs, right?

sometimes i can't believe some of you actually play poker.

then i remember, oh yeah, not everyone on this site actually wins.

you can't lump the first 30 games (or whatver timespan) with the last run. if you look purely at the record, sure, they are underperforming, but "24 and 21" doesn't give an accurate summary of what has happened.

why not? did those games not count?

if they all of a sudden go on another bad run for another 30 games.. will that not count also?

it's actually FUNNY that you challenge others of not knowing anything about statistics.

Hey Voltron?

Who was the person on here who had faith in the Yankees?

It certainly wasn't you or the other guys. It was me. I said that they would bounce back, and they did.

I really don't need to prove anything about poker to you here.

Those 8-1 odds would be if the yankees win the next two series. I would not actually give you 8-1 odds, but I really would expect the yankees to make the playoffs the vast majority of the time in that event.

There is a difference between not having faith and thinking your team is playing like crap. Do you know what it is? I do.

I knew that the Yankees were too good to have an awful season like some on here predicted.

Mussina right now is the top pitcher in the American League. He's had an era of 2.57 in 5 starts in May, and he is 5 and 2. He has a 3.38 era currently. He hasn't walked anybody in his past 2 starts, and he was just dominant tonight.


He is my dark horse pic for AL Cy Young winner.

Pavano, Moose, Wang, and Brown have all been good of late. The guy that none of us expected to struggle is the one struggling(Randy). But he will snap out of it.

i too think randy will snap out of this.

but saying moose is the top pitcher right now is just foolish.
