They rack up pitch counts, chase out starting pitchers, and hit timely hits. In the AL East teams have to be able to take a beating and the Sox just didn't look like the lion hearted, scrappy fighters we are used to seeing. They didn't even want to be in the ring. ]]> http://ftrsports.com/2011/09/baltimore-and-tampa-bay-did-boston-a-favor-by-eliminating-them/feed/ 0 http://ftrsports.com/2011/09/yankees-rookies-hazed-dressed-in-80s-rockstar-gear/ http://ftrsports.com/2011/09/yankees-rookies-hazed-dressed-in-80s-rockstar-gear/#comments Wed, 28 Sep 2011 17:00:10 +0000 Mike O. http://ftrsports.com/?p=164857960 In what has become an annual ritual for the New York Yankees, the 2011 rookies were hazed and humiliated as a part of their initiation into the big leagues. ]]> http://ftrsports.com/2011/09/yankees-rookies-hazed-dressed-in-80s-rockstar-gear/feed/ 0 http://ftrsports.com/2011/09/are-the-yankees-tanking-to-screw-red-sox/ http://ftrsports.com/2011/09/are-the-yankees-tanking-to-screw-red-sox/#comments Tue, 27 Sep 2011 23:11:16 +0000 Charles Drengberg http://ftrsports.com/?p=164857945 Last night the Yankees put a second rate reliever on the mound for this second start of his career against a red-hot Rays team that is chomping at the bit to overtake the Sox in the remaining two games of the season against a bunch of Yankee benchwarmers.]]> http://ftrsports.com/2011/09/are-the-yankees-tanking-to-screw-red-sox/feed/ 4 http://ftrsports.com/2011/09/yankees-gm-brian-cashman-faked-interest-in-carl-crawford-to-drive-up-price-for-bosox/ http://ftrsports.com/2011/09/yankees-gm-brian-cashman-faked-interest-in-carl-crawford-to-drive-up-price-for-bosox/#comments Fri, 23 Sep 2011 22:07:04 +0000 Mike O. http://ftrsports.com/?p=164857867 Yankees GM Brian Cashman admitted earlier today that his interest in Carl Crawford this past season was not genuine.
