I want a Sweep sooooooo bad.

Gotta even out that sweep by the Royals.

Great win! But where the hell are all the fans?? Did school start already? I bet that's the smallest crowd the Yankees have played in front of all season.

Discussion Topic: the Royals losses were just any random 3 of a season's worth of losses, game-to-game momentum doesn't exist. Discuss

Like Youk said in the interview post game, guys were playing on turf for 4 games, got in to KC late, couple of them were banged up. This will happen during season. I don't think it's all that black and white how us fans seem to think. IMHO.

6-4 the last 10.

 

40 left. Keep going 6-4, and that's 91 wins.

You thought you knew this team, now you don't

solid two wins and nice to see Liriano settle in and go 6 with only 2 runs.

 

on a side note and not taking anything away from the Sox because I'm not sure how it would of lined up if he was healthy, but the NYY really need Captain Cheeseburger back, the Rays are a chargin'

With dynamic pricing, tickets to see the Yankees start at $500.

GOT DAM DEMS CRACK PRICES

Yes, school did start already. Started last week for some schools.

Sox deserve credit for not letting those 3 losses to the Royals completely bury them. Losing 3 in a row to that horses*** team could have ended the Sox season, sending them spiraling downward.

Think they'll keep this dynamic pricing for next season? Fans don't have the moolah cause of Obama. Kidding about Obama, but we're in an economic crisis, baby! Lower those prices and charge 10 bucks for parking til the crises is OVA!!!!

Greg would be a fascinating political analyst. It'd be like combining Al Davis and Hawk.

Liriano in 5 starts with the Sox.

 

Team Record 4-1, personal record 2-0

For example's sake, we'll say USCF holds 50,000 fans. It doesn't, but we'll say so for simplicity's sake. We'll also say that $10 will bring in a full capacity crowd while a $200 ticket will only bring 20% capacity.

 

$10 X 50,000 = $500,000

$200 x 10,000 = $2,000,000

 

If you want to pay $10 a ticket, you better be willing to pay for $15 hot dogs.

...comments like this are made. Love it. Although the thought of Al Davis talking at this point frightens me, because it would bring all my nightmares of him being an actual zombie to life.

For this game alone, I just want to do one of these

 

(and I never use emoticons)

 

:cheers KW

 

Francisco Liriano, after a rough first, has a great start, Kevin Youkilis has yet another big hit, and Brett Myers throws a scoreless 9th.

 

Oh, and Ventura too.

 

 

To be fair, none of this happens, but those 3 (+Ventura) simply don't happen without Williams. He is going to sleep well tonight thanks to those 3 (+1)

Nice to see Beckham with another good game.

 

I did not think Youk's HR was gonna go. Off the bat I was glad cuz it was gonna get a run in. Then Swish starting turning and dancing out there and I thought maybe he'd misplay it, then the next thing you know it just carried out.

 

Another great win, and with Sale going tonight we need to get this sweep!

Wrong. Public schools started last week.

Depends on the schools. Schools going to year-round schedules in the CPS system started last week. A bunch of schools in the suburbs are starting today.

Chicago never started until after Labor Day. When did they change that?

I think most schools start in the last or second to last week in August now. It seems like it gets earlier every year, though.
