How do you spell "Choke"?
B O S T O N
R E D S O X Unbelievable two games. A great comeback victory by Tampa and a disgusting example of how to come up short by Boston. |

First let me preface this by saying the Red Sox don't deserve to be in the play offs.With that said Joe Gerardi decided he'd rather have the Rays in there because if he were playing to win tonights game Mariano Rivera would have shut the Rays down in the ninth.Who the hell was that pitching to Dan Johnson or whatever his name is in the ninth.And although I've never liked the Yankees I always thought they were a class organization not some bush league pieces of sh** Guess I was wrong!!

No, sorry to disagree, but a team doesn't play it's best players prior to the post season if it doesn't have to. Why risk injury to the money players. The Yankees didn't keep the Sox out of post season; Boston kept themselves out by being unable to get the job done.

I agree the Red Sox kept themselves out but sorry when a game means that much to your opponent you need to compete.Where's Soriano & Rivera..Might as well been you or me throwing those meatballs to the Rays hitters!

It wasn't that the Yankees didn't play to win or that The Bosox choked. The big issue was Kevin Youkilis injury. He is a gamer, a leader and without him in the lineup for a month, the team couldn't recover. ON PAPER, Boston had the better team but we are not playing Strat-O-Matic. When the Yankees lost Jeter and AROD for a long period, their replacements (Nunez and Chavaz) filled in well. In The Red Sox case, Aviles replaced Youk and although a nice utility player, he was not the answer.
I am the worlds biggest Yankee fan but I will not bash The Red Sox. It was just one of those years.

The Herald and the Globe are having a fieldday this morning. And, on www.boston.com Columnist Dan Shaughnessy, calls this team "the poster boys of the Heimlich maneuver.

As a long time Yankee fan, I am glad that the talkheads will focus talking about their collapse as oppossed to the 2004 World Series. Another one tough to swallow for Yankee fans but even worse having to be reminded of it at every baseball game for the next 10, 20, 30 years. Sometimes, I just turn the sound off so I don't have to listen to their drivel as they rarely say anything that is informative. Joe Giradi has the responsiblility to get the Yankees ready for the playoffs and not be too concerned about the Red-Sox fate. if it was the other way around, I'm sure it would be the same scenario. In a perfect world, the best players would be used in every situation to win every game. Go Yankees.
