i definitely enjoyed the red sox win more than the yankees loss, but the yankees loss was pretty awesome.

Muresan,

The Yankees are the best team in baseball; it's true. It makes beating them that much better, though.

WTF? No. The Red Sox are the best team in baseball this year.

Muresan is a retard, a troll, and, like mosst retard baseball fans, takes more pleasure out of Yankees losing than their team winning.

It's true.


Also, half the Cleveland fans at the game were idiots, they seemed more happy that the Yankees lost than their team won. There were some good fans there though as well.

Dude, emotional hedging. Bet enough money against the yanks that you can buy a high enough quality hooker and enough blow to numb the pain. +EV for all involved

I like you Kyle, you provide outstanding insight, and without the overwhelming douchiness of Thayer. So I will ask you: which metrics are you basing this on? And is what you're saying that they were the predicted best team in baseball? At what point does playing the games on the field, and outplaying your opponent matter more (80 games into the season? 120? 162? the DS?) I'm very open to people like you and Vhawk, who give their opinion but without trying to completely [censored] on you the whole time.

Edit: You're right, beating the Yankees is sweet. Go Indians...unless they face the Sox.



Edit: but you must bear in mind that your opinion doesn't really matter if the Yanks lose in the first round.

It took 163 games to determine the NL wild card team.

You really think a 5 game series is an accurate judge of the best team?

Arod should just come out and guarantee the Yanks will win the WS lol.

This is so not true...the playoffs don't prove dick.

But I still can't figure out why Kyle thinks the Yankees are the best team in baseball. Using PECOTA, WARP, adjusted standings, my predictions, my general analysis of the players, and everything else, I think the Red Sox are the best team in baseball by ~2 wins per 162 games. The Yankees are, at best, #2, and I think you could make the argument that they're a hair behind the Tribe.
