Yankees vs. Sox Preview

I haven't done a straight preview in awhile but since its Yankees vs. Red Sox time, there's no better time then now. We're going quick notes edge style.

The Better Steroid User

A-Rod: A-Rod won a an MVP over Papi and has put himself in the stratosphere of all time players with the accumulation of HRs, hits, RBI, etc. But he still has no rings.

Big Papi: Big Papi helped win the Red Sox their first World Series since 1918 with a little boost from the juice.

Edge: Sox

Season Series aka 0-8

Boston: The Red Sox are on a roll against the pin stripes and seemingly have the Yankees number from hitters to starters to Mariano.

Yankees: They're one of the top teams in baseball, odds are in their favor to win a game right?

Edge: Push, it doesn't matter

The Pitching Matchups

Joba vs. Smoltz: Joba has been on fire. Smoltz has looked old. Edge Yanks

Burnett vs. Beckett: Burnett has been terrible in his two starts against the Sox this year and Beckett is Beckett. Edge Sox

Sabathia vs. Buchholz: Sabathia is a Cy Young Winner, Buchholz is still the young buck. Edge Yanks

Pettitte vs. Lester: Lester is a ten year younger version of Andy. Edge Sox

Edge: Push

The Lineup

Yankees: Dominant from top to bottom and only got better with the recent DFA of Cody Ransom.

Red Sox: V-Mart brings a much needed extra bat to Boston, but they just might be without Bay for much of this series so...

Edge: Yanks

Number of Players Whose Name Ends in Boner

Yankees: Zero

Red Sox: 1, Papelboner

Edge: Push

Number of Players Who Look Like Shrek

Yankees: Zero

Red Sox: 1, Youkilis

Edge: Push

Overall: Push, it's gonna be 2-2

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
