This is why you build a lead

alan529 Posts: 18	i know everyone is getting upset with the sweep, but this is exactly why you build up a 10 game lead. sure we got swept, but we are still leading the division by 6 games. Lets try to put this behind us and go to work in seattle.

Lets try to put this behind us and go to work in seattle. I know the lead over Baltimore is only 6 games. But I don't take the O's seriously. They have a negative run differential, and the Yankees will throttle them in the six home games we have left with them. The only two AL East teams I worry about are Boston and Tampa, and both of them had horrible weekends as well. The lead is still 9 over Tampa in the loss column, and 10 games over the Red Sox in the loss column, so I'm not too worried. I'd like to see a few wins in Seattle, though. I hope Kevin Millwood doesn't hold us to two runs in seven innings tonight. Grudz

The Texas Rangers were the hottest team in baseball for the first month and a half. Then they went on enough of a losing streak to where the Yanks overtook them as the best team in baseball. Despite all that and losing to the Angels this weekend,they still are top dog in the AL West.

Its not easy being a troll. You have to eat troll food, date troll women and live in troll houses. Dating troll women must be the worst part.
