Don't take my word for it, listen to the critics on ESPN ( who are actually damn good and shouldn't be confused with ESPN as a whole). Heck, you could make a case for the Blue Jays being great as they held first place longer then the Yanks.

And how many of those 30 games did you watch???

By the way, your baseball friends over at ESPN have had my Yankees ranked higher than your Red Sox for the past few weeks, just go look at the Power Rankings.

My family is all yankees and everybody has a different NFL team, Giants fans, eagles fans, redskins fans, and a steelers fan.

As for the Yankees...We will win the division. I find it funny how we haven't beet the sox yet but we are only two games back. Boston is a good team but I think they will fade over time. I really think that Posada is done behind the plate and I think Cervelli calls better games. As for today...It was just a taste of what we can do. If the Yankees stay healthy I can guarantee that we will win the division.

This is a sneak peak of what this lineup will do once they are clicking on all cylinders. Also, they were hitting like this during mid-May through early June. A-Rod will obviously pick it up. They will have a very good summer.

Burnett did what he was brought here to do - dominate. Sabathia will be Sabathia for the rest of the year, so no worries there. AJ will get it going now, he has looked great on some occasions and awful on others. Today was a great one, and you will be seeing more of the good AJ than the bad. Pettitte is really struggling? Is he finished? Possible, but I think not. Just a bad streak, and he will get back on track. Don't forget, he DOES have 6 wins already. Wang has been a trainwreck, but we haven't completely given up on him, he starts against the Nats this Wednesday I think. If he bombs there, you can forget about him the rest of the year - Hughes will take his spot. Joba is still very young, and he has been erratic as well, but I think we will be seeing good Joba for the most part. As for the Bullpen, Marte & Bruney are injured, guys who were here for the 7th & 8th inning roles, respectively. Phil Coke has looked very good, Hughes has pitched well, Robertson has pitched well, Veras has been up and down, and Mo is Mo. So once those two come back, I am optimistic that this bullpen can be much better. We will be at least medium to good - in regards to the bullpen.

So call me crazy, but we will win the division and have a great summer. AND we will play at least .500 ball against the Red Sox for the rest of the year. So yes, I stand by my statement that the Yankees will win the division, and we can bump this thread at the end of the season.

"Just wait until we get the bats going"..............200 million dollar payroll, the bats and the pitching SHOULD HAVE BEEN GOING SINCE OPENING DAY.

"We lost 8 to the Red Sox and are only two games out"............you've been listening to that moron Kay haven't you as that is exactly what that fleabrain said after you got your asses swept out of town on Thursday.

If you had won 8 strait vs the Red Sox, you'd be 6 games up and telling us all how the season is over already.

Face it; we are now the Yankees of the mid to late 1990's and you are the Red Sox from the mid to late 70's, so deal with it.

All hitting, so so starters and a horrific bullpen.

Who the frig is the rag arm named Coke; Coke?

When Yankee fans called WEEI from the mid 1990's till 2004, they annoyed the sh!t out of me; now when they call, I laugh my ass off at them, they sound like we used to sound pre 2004.

You are a bunch of clowns, you really are.

And spare us the "bump this thread" crap; with a 200 million dollar payroll, you should win the World Series, nevermind the division, so ease up on the gas.

We'll write it down.

In crayon.

Just for you.
