Will The Yankees Make the Post-Season?
 

Re: Will The Yankees Make the Post-Season?
 

I think jesusearenque are making a few people eat their words from the beginning of the season.

Re: Will The Yankees Make the Post-Season?
 

how so? I don't recall what he said.

Re: Will The Yankees Make the Post-Season?
 

He bet either that the Yanks wouldn't win the division or that they wouldn't make the playoffs, I don't remember which.

Re: Will The Yankees Make the Post-Season?
 

I've been saying they wouldn't make it from the beginning. They're certainly a long shot now, one would think.

He said the Yanks wouldn't make the playoffs even before the season started and got laughed at, even when they got off to a horrendous start.

[/ QUOTE ]ne real though, that prediction (if it happens) is more luck than anything else. Before you reg. on here I made a bet during the ALCS with three posters on here that the Yankees would sweep boston. They almost did, but thats irrelevant. people make bold predictions all the time.

Note: This does not discredit his opinion at all. Dude knows what he is talking about.

Re: Will The Yankees Make the Post-Season?
 

I think he actually made a bet too, possibly with Dead, good luck getting paid off there.

Re: Will The Yankees Make the Post-Season?
 

I paid mine. I almost won $42 on a $3 total bet [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Will The Yankees Make the Post-Season?
 

Why's it luck?

There were very real concerns for the Yankees coming into the season that most people either didn't know about or didn't care to think about.

Re: Will The Yankees Make the Post-Season?
 

Yeah, I didn't think it was THAT bold of a prediction either.

Re: Will The Yankees Make the Post-Season?
 

Dead voted for division winner in his heart.

[/ QUOTE ]because other than pitching, their team was stacked. Them making the playoffs was defintely possibly. In fact, highly possible.

Re: Will The Yankees Make the Post-Season?
 

Pitching is a pretty major thing. And their offense was ageing. Add that to being in a division with Boston and 2 good teams out west and it didn't look like a sure thing for the Yanks.

[/ QUOTE ]a sure thing compared to years past? Perhaps, but discounting the Yankees before the season has started is pretty bold.

Re: Will The Yankees Make the Post-Season?
 

Agreed, they certainly aren't a lock to miss the playoff, but I thought it was a good bet at the time. Plus he got 4-1 odds on it.

Re: Will The Yankees Make the Post-Season?
 

I thought Yankee Pitching actually looked improved over the off season with the additions of Pavano and Johnson, who at the time were going to be big improvement over the likes of Lieber and that other guy.

And I don't recall there being two good teams in the AL west at the start of the year. Nobody expected much from Oakland, especially after they cashed out half their pitching staff.

funny the difference in demeaner and expectation. us clevelanders have just been waitin for the tribe to slip (like last yr)and are now entering only cautiosly optimistic zone.

Re: Will The Yankees Make the Post-Season?
 

The Yankees will play 13 of their last 20 games on the road. That's going to make reacjomg the playoffs even harder. They're only 33-35 on the road this year.

Meanwhile, the Red Sox will play 11 of their last 20 games at home where they are 48-22.

The Indians also have the majority of their remainging games at home. They've also got 7 games against Kansas City.

I bet Dead that the Yankees would not win the AL East this year. 4-1 odds.

"That's going to make reacjomg the playoffs even harder."

I agmbkx.

Seriously, good points. Plus, while Baltimore and Toronto are not good teams, they hit pretty well, and thus are better equiped to handle the Yankees' weaknesses than other teams who might be better but don't swing the bats as well.

The Yankees are a longshot to make it.
