How sweet would it be if Pavano can make all his 40 mil worth it? Like 10 perfect games would probably do the trick no?

Hughes is on his way back, Pavano is also trying make his way back (so they say) but we can't count on him cause how many times have we heard that? Our offense is doing very well and we have the leadership on this team to get us into the postseason. The Yankees won't not make the playoffs in the last season at Yankee Stadium. We will see October ball one more time in the historic Yankee Stadium before its torn down.

Right, because if the Yankees don't win sufficient games to make the playoffs(which I think they will, mind you), Bud Selig will just decide that since it's the last year at Yankee Stadium, they should make the playoffs. Great logic. Does that work for the Mets and Shea Stadium too, or do the rules get based on the team that YOU are a fan of?

wow, take a chill LJ. he's just saying that in the last year of the stadium, the yanks will make it a special one. he's not saying it's because of that.

Which is poor logic. The stadium closing has zero impact on the wins and losses aspect of the game of baseball. Do you think the opposing teams will play worse because Yankee Stadium is closing?

Its a make or break stretch coming up for the Yankees. 4 at Texas, 3 at LA and 3 in Minnesota.

both of them can be passed. they've shown vulnerabilities. especially tampa.
Please your the biggest homer on the entire site. Tampa wins the division with Boston 2nd. Watch and see it happen. Tampa beat up a team in Detroit that was playing good baseball.

I'm not saying at all that the stadium is making them better or that its making the other teams play worse. I'm saying its adding more motivation to them. Do you really think they don't talk about this year being the last year for Yankee Stadium? I'm pretty sure they do and I'm pretty sure they don't want the last season in that stadium to be a year that they miss the post season.

I might actually be going to one or two of those games in Minnesota. If so, that would be my first time seeing my Yankees in person so hopefully everything works out.
