SportingNews.com : Yankees, Red Sox battling in AL East

Heh. Most fans are idiots.
A bad sign for the Yankees is that the Red Sox are just a game behind them in the standings even though Boston's best hitter, Manny Ramirez, hasn't even gotten hot yet.

Dom DeLuca
New Prague, Minn.
Yeah, and Jason Giambi's a .200 hitter.
Hey, Yankees and Red Sox: Don't think you are the only ones competing for the AL East title. Don't forget about the Blue Jays, one of the hottest teams in baseball.

Toronto
Someone once said that a team is never as good as they look when they're winning, or as bad as they look when they're losing. Toronto will be a perrenial contender within two seasons, I'm sure, but right now, they're a mediocre team that'll finish at least 15 games off the pace.
Titles are bought in the AL East. Want proof? Watch the Yankees go on a buying spree if they lose a few more games. In baseball today, it is the Yankees and whichever team comes in second.

Hampton, N.H.
So the proof of your assertion is that you say the Yankees will do something in the future? Hmmm...
I think the Yankees and the Red Sox are the two closest teams in the league, but the Red Sox have one more thing going for them than the Yanks: team play. The Yankees seem to do most of their offense in one big inning with one or two good players each game.

Allen Nessen
Muncie, Ind.
So the Red Sox have the advantage over the Yankees in that they can't win with only one or two players contributing. Huh?

I think TSN prints some of these just for laughs.
