Many have the important details:\n\nThe trade/sale of Babe Ruth from the Sox to the Yanks and the resulting curse\nThe careers of DiMaggio and Williams\nthe 1978 comeback of the Yanks resulting in the one game playoff, won by the Yanks and Bucky "F____" Debt\nThe Red Sox finally reversing the curse in 2004\n\nThere's so much rich history here.

Coming up with signs for one another is a great form of communication. The catcher and the pitcher are the heart of the team. There connection makes or breaks games

I too LOVED Johnny Damon until he became a Johnny Judas.  Go anywhere... Just don't go to the Yankees.  I wish I was going to the game on May 1 as I would join you in booing him.  I am going to the game on 9/17 AT YANKEE STADIUM.  I was thinking of taking my old Johnny Judas t-shirt and burning it outside the stadium.  :o)

I know berkman is. I would go before the game if I were you. ANd I also wouldn't waste my time with manny. He is a pretty big jerk. Good luck with the autographs though.

If it was just about the payroll, then the Yankees would win every year.  (Their payroll is almost double that of the Red Sox, by the way.)  I do agree that watching the game should be fun, although for me the rivalries are part of that fun.  It's a shame that some people take it too seriously and ruin it for other fans.

C - Josh Gibson; can't forget about the Negro Leagues; Bench is definitely one to consider though\n\n1B - Lou Gehrig; in about 20 years, I may be putting Pujols here\n\n2B - Rogers Hornsby; consideration given to Nap Lajoie and Rod Carew\n\nSS - Honus Wagner; Ozzie Smith was the best defensive SS, and Ernie Banks was the best offensive SS, but Wagner is the best all around; probably the toughest position to pick\n\n3B - Mike Schmidt; Brooks Robinson was better defensively, but Schmidt was significantly better at the plate, which is why he gets the nod\n\nLF - Stan Musial; I know a lot of people are wondering about Williams here, but Musial had nearly 1000 more career hits, was a 24 time All Star and a 3 time MVP, not to mention the four World Series that he played in.  And he played in roughly the same time frame ('41-'63) as Williams ('39-'60), who was a 17 time All Star and won 1 MVP while playing in just one World Series.\n\nCF - Willie Mays; with some big considerations to Mantle, Cobb, and Oscar Charleston\n\nRF - Babe Ruth; all apologizes to Aaron (with his career HR and RBI records) and Clemente (with his 12 Gold Gloves), but it was Ruth's lifetime .342 average that really got me leaning this way...oh yeah, and he hit for quite a bit of power.\n\nSP - Walter Johnson; with a large amount of consideration given to Young, Spahn, Mathewson, Bob Gibson, Satchel Paige and Koufax, but it was Johnson's W's, K's, shut-outs (110) and lifetime 2.35 ERA that set him apart from the pack.\n\nRP - Eckersley; revolutionized the closer position, after spending 12 years as a starter\n\nPH - Lenny Harris, has more pinch hits than anybody else in the history of the game, and a .263 career average as a pinch hitter (not bad considering he has 800+ career PH AB's)\n\nHonorable Mention - Looking over the list of players that I didn't include, it's difficult to pick just one.  However, I'd have to go with Ted Williams for the Honorable Mention.  If he played just about any other position, he would have been my first choice.

Good Question:\n\nNL (starters):\nC: Johnny Estrada: 6HR, 45RBI, .315AVG\n1B: Pujols: no need for numbers\n2B: Chase Utley\nSS: Jose Reyes: tablesetter; he scares me.\n3B: D. Wright: his catch early season was sick...and he can hit.\nOF #1: Berkman\nOF#2: Beltran\nOF#3: Carlos Lee\nNL (2nd teamers)\nC: David Ross: 100 less AB's to McCann better numbers in everything except AVG.\n1B: Nomar\n2B: Dan Uggla\nSS: Freddy Sanchez\n3B: Miguel Cabrera: big numbers, small amount of protection in that lineup.\nOF#1: Andruw Jones\nOF#2: Soriano\nOF#3: Dunn: This is only because I really wanted to see him in the homerun derby. Holliday deserves it.\n\nSP: Brandon Webb\n\nAL starters: \n\nC: Mauer\n1B: Ortiz (Playing in NL park)\n2B: Least deserving all star postion on both leagues. I'll take Jose Lopez.\nSS: Tejada\n3B: A-Rod\nOF#1: Dye\nOF#2: Wells\nOF#3: Ramirez\n\nSP: Liriano: He has 1/2 the amount of starts as other pitcher and all of his numbers are top 10 or better. Plus if you're on the AL team and you have a shot at World Series Home field advantage do you really want Rogers 3.65+ ERA on the mound? Most of the NL has hit off of him several times. Liriano hasn't faced but a few of the NL hitters and most of them have seen him less than 5 times.\nAL Second stringers\nC: Ramon Hernandez: 15HR 61RBI--how many catchers have ever put up these numbers before all-star break?\n1B: Haffner or Thome? Gotta go Thome because of teams overall record.\n2B: Brian Roberts: if it was up to me Lopez would be my only true 2B.\nSS: Jeter: Glue that has held that team together after all of their injuries\n3B: Crede: I would take similiar RBI's and better defense compared to Glaus.\nOF#1: Crawford: I love extremely fast guys who hit for power and high average\nOF#2: Rios\nOF#3: Vlad: His defense puts him over Mags\n\n*****If the fans (including myself) continue to vote Paul laaaaaduca into the all-star game I say fans should wave their right to decide the starters. Secondly; one rep from each team should be abolished.

You've nailed it Jen.  The truth!!  All of these people who claim to disagree with you are just not being honest with themselves.  Of course they wish their teams were as successful as the Yankees.  What fan wouldn't?  The bottom line is that money or not the players still have to get the job done on the field.  Georgie is always talking about the Yankees not winning a world series in this century.  The fact is the Tigers haven't won still 1984.  So what is your point Georgie?  The Tigers are nothing more than a one hit wonder.  Big deal, you won a pennant.  You are all missing the point.  It's all about the legend of the Yankees and how it overshadows all of baseball.  No matter what the other teams do, it's still all about the Yankees and how your teams compare.  Some of you just have to make your hateful comments to relieve your frustration.  I think that's pitiful.  Instead of being mad at the Yankees what don't you turn to your own teams ownership and ask them why they don't put a winner on the field.  And don't give me this money crap.  All franchises have the money to buy anyone they want.  It's a matter of stepping up to the plate and doing it.  Obviously they don't have the guts.

First order of business is the bullpen.  They have blown so many situations for the starters.  Until you get bullpen help whether it be via trade or farm system there isn't much hope.  I think the it is the achilles heel of the team.  You have two solid startes in Smoltz and Hudson, while Ramirez has been flashing signs of goodness.  Starters are not their weakness and neither is the lineup, it is the pen!!!
