Rays have ZERO pride, tradition, or majesty.

They can't hold the Yankees jock, because the Yankees know what it means to win when it counts.

Our list of heroes for tonight:

YANKEES (74-64)
Damon CF
Jeter SS
Abreu RF
A. Rodriguez 3B
Giambi 1B
Nady LF
Matsui DH
Cano 2B
I. Rodriguez C
Pavano RHP

Play with pride, win with honor.

GO YANKEES

[Jed Zeppelin]

[Foulkey Reese]

Rays will be blinded by pinstripes tonight.

[UNCSoxFan5]

Lets get it down to 3 Games!

[redsoxedmunds24]

Play like 2007 Arod.

GO YANKEES!

MOW EM DOWN PAVANO!

[Crazy Puppy]

Chance to get this lead down to 3 tonight.

Let's Go Yankees!

[mt8thsw9th]

Mystique and Aura in the Trop!

[NomarRS05]

Ronan Tynan will punch Joe Maddon in the Larynx. From the Bronx. Using Mystique and Aura.

[SemperFidelisSox]

The Rays will fade all on their own. Stop rooting for the Yankees to start 3-0 on this make or break road trip.

[Drew7]

A-ROD IS A PUSSY.

I agree. Pregame talk about Yankees being 7 1/2 out a year ago and then drawing to within 1 1/2 of the Sox convinced me. Go Rays, who will, as you say, f*ck up on their own from now on.

[cwright]

Fucking Damon.
You seriously can't get that ball anymore?
(Maybe I'm spoiled by Crisp/Ellsbury.)

[Drew7]

Fucking Damon.

i had the same reaction. oh and now YES making excuses for damon "the ceiling is white, too"

[Al Zarilla]

What country is Tampa Bay, or St. Petersburg in? Southern Europe somewhere? Yankees in town in September, your team is in first place and the dump is half full? Pathetic.

[Jed Zeppelin]

Be the True Yankee that we all know you are Xavier. Joba starting next season in the bullpen lol.

[amh03]

Fucking Damon.

I have to say, the reaction on Pavano's face isn't going to make him popular with his teammates...isn't it rather looked down on to show disgust when one of your position players doesn't make a play?

[Drew7]

thanks hinske!

[JulE6]

eric hinske is singlehandedly losing this series for the rays

not that i'm complaining

[Jed Zeppelin]

Now THIS is the offense we've been waiting for all season.

[Jed Zeppelin]

And the only well struck ball goes for an out.

[Pearl Wilson]

mmmm Damon.

[Dionysus]

You really think he has any chance of popularity with the Yanks after the past few years? Its Carl freakin Pavano!

This win/win outcome games are fun

[Al Zarilla]

Talking about the Rays great defense and they look like shit tonight. Well, Hinske mostly.

[Jnai]

I can't believe I'm rooting for Pavano to win a game.

a) because it means I'm rooting for a Yankee
b) it means Pavano is starting

[cwright]

I can't decide which of those is more surprising (for me, I mean).

"BRUISED BUTTOCKS"

We need to get a SOSH contingent to a Pavano start before the year is out and start that as a chant.

[Jed Zeppelin]

Wait a minute, is Rick Sutcliffe suggesting that Carl Pavano doesn't wear the Pinstripes with Pride? Has no respect for Tradition?

[brs3]

Gotta love how ARod & Pavano show up when the season's in a coma.

[amh03]

You really think he has any chance of popularity with the Yanks after the past few years? Its Carl freakin Pavano!

No...that's why I can't believe he's so stupid as to hurt his position even further with that reaction. I mean, he still has to hang in the locker room, travel with the team, etc.

[Wingack]

Pavano needs to stop endearing himself to me. It's confusing and it hurts.

[Jed Zeppelin]

Hinske is defending like a champion tonight.

[strek1]

Pavano needs to stop endearing himself to me. It's confusing and it hurts.

I find myself wondering where Pavano will sign his next contract.

LA perhaps?

[V.I. Tessie]

It really is unbelievable that the Trop is half empty and most of the fans that ARE there are MFY fans. Rays fans are pathetic. We did NOT have fun going to the games there in July. Rude, rude people and those FUCKING cowbells. Jesus, pathetic.

We were talking with some Sox fans at the hotel and they actually were told to "Go back to Boston" by a cigar shopkeeper. Pricks.

[strek1]

The Lumbering Hinske is killing them.

[NYCSox]

Good Lord, Hinske is a train wreck out there tonight.

they're winning with average players. who wants to root for a pile of pretty good guys? Who's a bonafide star in Tampa Bay?

[Jed Zeppelin]

Pride. Power. Pinstripes.

[NYCSox]

Wow, this one is over as well.

[Jed Zeppelin]

Well, Longoria is a potential top 5 player in MLB but if being in first place over the Sox and Yankees doesn't put people in the seats, I'm not sure what or who could.

[brs3]

Pride. Power. Pinstripes.

Winning Without A Cause... reminds ARod of his Texas days!!

[fletcherpost]

Oh this is just fantastic play by the Yankees.

[SemperFidelisSox]

Tampa has a tough schedule here in September, including four left with this Yankees team that absolutely owns them right now. The Red Sox can and should catch or pass the Rays in the coming weeks, which might drop a fading Rays team back into the Wild Card race.

I don't understand what the fuck y'all are doing rooting for the Yankees when they look like they're getting their shit together and could maybe sneak back in it.

[moonshotmanny]

Hmmm, maybe the Rays are *finally* starting to feel the pressure.........

[BigSoxFan]

This is exactly how Tampa is going to look in the playoffs. Nobody would want to play the Sox over the Rays.

Because even with a win they are 7 back with 23 to play.

Haven't you been reading TBONE's posts?

[NYCSox]

It's not a big deal if the MFYs just win the series. But we don't want a sweep people. They have three against a AA team this weekend whose best chance at avoiding a sweep pitched today in Arlington.

"BRUISED BUTTOCKS"

Would the distinguished gentleman accept a friendly amendment to his proposal, to wit:
"TAINTED TOCHAS" ? It often flows more sweetly off the tongue when the chant has equal syllable counts in each word.

STOP just STOP worrying about the MFY

Evan Longoria and Scott Kazmir are above average players.
