Red Sox vs Yankees

[hockey0001]

Since there was a thread for the Mets and Phillies, there should be one for this series also. I see the sox winning the first 2 games since the pitching match-ups favor them, the third game will come down which starter sucks less and the bullpens.

[LeftWideOpen]

...bring out the brooms.

[LeftWideOpen]

but seriously, i also see 2 out of 3 for the sox. i think the first two games bode well for the sox, but i think randy actually rebounds a little and gets the W on Wednesday.

Anything less than 2 out of 3 is a big loss for the Sox because they need to kick the Yankees while they are done. Who knows how long this current slump will last.

[mikeford]

schilling better fuckin step up tonight. hes been dreadful for the month of may.

[LeftWideOpen]

hopefully we get a rational yankee fan or two in here tonight so it doesnt turn on to a bunch of us jerking off to the sox or cutting our wrists, depending on the outcome.

[hockey0001]

schilling better fuckin step up tonight. hes been dreadful for the month of may.

If he doesnt give up the long ball and can avoid that one bad inning that has killed him his last 2 starts he'll be fine, but those are some big ifs based recent starts

[hockey0001]

hopefully we get a rational yankee fan or two in here tonight so it doesnt turn on to a bunch of us jerking off to the sox or cutting our wrists, depending on the outcome.

true. Im gonna probably miss most of the game from the 3rd inning on due to the season finale of 24, im hoping the score is like 8-0 by that point though

[Jesse2]

well i'll be here, but i'm not sure how rational i am...

:headspin:

[LeftWideOpen]

great start for schilling. easy 1,2,3 inning w/ only about 9 pitches.

[hockey0001]

thought he should have sent loretta there

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

if it were Bernie in left, loretta would have been sent. i dont know how good of an arm TLong has

[LeftWideOpen]

schilling was rolling and all it took was 2 quick hits for him and the sox to fall behind. his pitch count took a beating that inning.

[LeftWideOpen]

men on 2nd and 3rd w/ 1 out and Ortiz at the plate ...

important situation right here. we need these runs.

[LeftWideOpen]

Papi!!!

2-1 sox

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

why would they ever throw him a strike in that situation?

[LeftWideOpen]

manny to deep center. 4-1

[SePaMc]

im not a sox fan....i do hate the yanks, and the sox are prolly my second fav team.....

but this is fun =D

[LeftWideOpen]

well, i blame torre for the ortiz situation (since theres no way you throw to him after its already 3-0) ...but the manny HR is all on the pitcher.

not that i am complaining about either.

[aloneatlastnj]

there really needs to be more yankees fans on this forum. christ. i'm doing all i can here. haha.

man, this inning is fucking tough for the yankees. wang was doing pretty well up until this point. since matsui went down, i'm crediting the majority of these losses to the team's poor as fuck starting pitching and injured outfield. i swear to god, this injury bug is fucking killing the team.

[aloneatlastnj]

cant say i didnt smile when wang made that catch in self defense. just so varitek could sit the fuck down. ha

[aloneatlastnj]

cant say that i expect much anymore when i see arod step up to the plate. it's not the yankee/new york pressure anymore. it's all on him. of course he's going to produce. just not in the clutch, like every yankees fan wants him to, and like the yankees NEED him to.

[thejetstolehome]

sorry i haven't been here. completey for got the game started at 7. for some reason i thought it started at 8. when i turned it on, cabrera got a double and they had a good inning. then the bottom of the third happened. and i was saddened.

[LeftWideOpen]

willie harris and alex cora are pretty much a given 2 outs. at least yankee pitching can be sure of that.

[LeftWideOpen]

niiice, i knew that would work. cora w/ the base hit! haha

[aloneatlastnj]

im not one of those yanks fans that thinks they should buy their way to championships, just for the record. i think that what they're doing right now is what they SHOULD be doing. using the (somewhat) talent that's in the minor leagues to get through this, instead of buying up every position player out there.

word. i'll take a year or two of "struggling" in exchange for long term success with homegrown talent.

though outside of Cano and Wang, there's not much 'homegrown talent' these days....

[thejetstolehome]

though outside of Robinson Cano, there's not much 'homegrown talent' these days....

if wang can learn what "consistency" means and cabrera can develop, theres some right there. the sad thing is, even if melky does develop, there's no where to put him for a while.

sheffield's contract is up after this year. SO then the question is, resign sheff, or use a combination of bernie, bubba and melky, or go get someone like torii hunter?

weren't you JUST talking about not buying big name position players??

now you're talking about dropping 10 million on another veteran outfielder?

[thejetstolehome]

and an overrated one at that.

i'm not saying thats what i want them to do. its what they shouldnt, but probably will do. its one of their options, of course.

[aloneatlastnj]

these last few weeks have been fucking PAINFUL.

[LeftWideOpen]

we have a 7-1 lead ..schilling doesnt need to be out there.

[LeftWideOpen]

fuckin foulke ...way to let the yankees make this game look a lot closer then it was.

[LeftWideOpen]

....if papelbon has to waste his arm on this game, foulke should be run out of town.

[LeftWideOpen]

ballgame. thank the fucking lord.

[hockey0001]

good way to start the series and i called A-rods home run. Right before his a bat i said "9-1, top of the 9th, its about time for slappy to do something"

[mikeford]

i also called that A-rod homerun. i turned to my friend and go "bout time for some patented A-rod meaningless homerun magic for my fantasy team..."

next pitch... gonzo.

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

so cora and harris had RBI's...yankees pitching is great

[mikeford]

cora also had a bunt hit single... what a whacky game

[LeftWideOpen]

it pains me to criticize terry francona so much when we're winning, but sometimes i just dont understand what the fuck he's doing ..

alex cora batting 7th tonight? WTF. One good game doesnt turn him into honus wagner.

Wily Mo is back in there in the 9 hole.

[mikeford]

the 9 hole? what the fuck? who the fuck is batting 8th?

[hockey0001]

wily isnt in the lineup

http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/extra_bases/

[mikeford]

fucking idiot hurts himself in batting practice yesterday.

way to go, cerrano.

better get him a live chicken to sacrifice.

[LeftWideOpen]

wily isnt in the lineup

http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/extra_bases/

thats stupid. he was listed in tonights lineup on that same site about 4 hours ago.

[LeftWideOpen]

yanks get a big boost w/ sheffy back in there.

for the sox sake, hopefully the knuckleball jams him and he re-aggravates it on his 1st swing.

[Jesse2]

tisk tisk!

[mikeford]

lets hope paps hits him in the head. fuckin roider.

[LeftWideOpen]

tisk tisk!

i was initially going to say fastball until i remembered it was Wakefield, but I still went ahead w/ the remark for the principle of it. I don't see Sheffy having his bat broken tonight.

[Jesse2]

it was the principle i was tisk-tisking, not the type of pitch that put him back on the DL haha

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

sheff in the lineup, but no giambiiiiiiino

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

the story is wily mo hurt himself last week in baltimore

[mikeford]

yeah and reaggrivated it yesterday in BP

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

oh i thought it just become too painful for him to play, willie harris has been playing decent so i'm not terrified of another night without WM

[aloneatlastnj]

close call there with jaret wright. that guy is seriously like broken bat and ball magnet. cannot get away from those...

and wtf on jorge getting 'injured' running down the baseline?! not another fucking injury i hope..

[LeftWideOpen]

terrible at bats by the sox right there. you cant have men on 1st and 2nd w/ no outs and get absolutely nothing.

[yodaplaysdrums]

I'm a Yankee fan. I however can't see us winning any games especially the first 2. The injuries have cost us big time this season.

[aloneatlastnj]

I'm a Yankee fan. I however can't see us winning any games especially the first 2. The injuries have cost us big time this season.

have some faith. the sox are having some real bad at-bats here..

[mikeford]

fuck willie harris. he should just die.

[aloneatlastnj]

PASS BALL! hahaha wtf arod. that was super outside. why the hell would he swing at that?

[hockey0001]

oh i thought it just become too painful for him to play, willie harris has been playing decent so i'm not terrified of another night without WM

are you watching the same Willie Harris that I am?

[LeftWideOpen]

are you watching the same Willie Harris that I am?

...i didnt want to be the one to say it.

[mikeford]

willie harris is not fit to play for the PAW SOX, let alone a real MLB team.

[aloneatlastnj]

what the fuck joe torre?! wright was doing absolutely fine. pitching a 4 hit shut out. you wanna have faith in the starting pitching, and this guy is pitching a GREAT, very effective game, yet he comes out of the game. let the guy stay in for another inning. i can only hope the bullpen will hold on and NOT fuck it up.

EDIT: runners on first and second. 1 out..:shake: :shake:

EDIT #2: and a runner scores....

[aloneatlastnj]

ahahahahahaahahaha JT SNOW!!! just trade this guy. 23 AB all fucking season. goddamn.

[LeftWideOpen]

jt snow is still a red sox?

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

would you rather be retarded and catch a foul ball or not retarded and never catch a foul ball?

[LeftWideOpen]

would you rather be retarded and catch a foul ball or not retarded and never catch a foul ball?

haha, i'm gonna hafta go w/ the latter on that one.

too bad that kid couldnt pinch hit for Snow.

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

are you watching the same Willie Harris that I am?

he had an RBI! im grasping for anything when it comes to him....

[hockey0001]

i stand corrected, Willie Harris should have been in. He would have atleast struck out right there

[aloneatlastnj]

wow. fucking arod finally does something!!! cant say i expected that. then again, those 3 runs are just insurance. not a 'clutch' situation in the slightest.

[LeftWideOpen]

well, you cant win em' all.

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

nice 2 out collapse

[mikeford]

game over.

[aloneatlastnj]

i love how all 3 boston replies were posted at the same time. haha.

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

i love how dougie did his best josh bard imitation tonight

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

well...manny knew that was gone.

[aloneatlastnj]

well...manny knew that was gone.

hahah that fucking cocky bastard. just stood there. i thought he missed and it was strike 3 for a second.

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

not only did he stand there, but he just shot proctor a couple of glances like..."Are you kidding me dude?"

[LeftWideOpen]

maybe i lost hope too soon. i forgot the yankees bullpen is doing it's best impression of the 2005 red sox's.

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

i wonder if Tek is gonna come in

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

act 2: an actual member of the 2005 bullpen, thank you murderer

[LeftWideOpen]

fuck! lowell was so close.

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

please throw him another fastball

[LeftWideOpen]

i wonder if Tek is gonna come in

nope. dumb move by terry here.

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

3 straight breaking balls....why are you swinging at those dougie?

[LeftWideOpen]

3 straight breaking balls....why are you swinging at those dougie?

because the hanging breaking ball is how he made his living at the plate last season. unfortunately, those were nowhere close. no reason for varitek to be sitting in such an important at bat when wakefield is already out of the game.

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

the thing is, he is a major league baseball player, farnsworth had been lacking control... why give him any gifts by swinging at 3 balls...YECH

[LeftWideOpen]

the thing is, he is a major league baseball player, farnsworth had been lacking control... why give him any gifts by swinging at 3 balls...YECH

yeah, i'm not defending him. i meant the hanging breaking ball comment as a criticism ...i like dougie for what he does behind the plate, but there's a reason he isnt a full-time starting catcher (can't hit the side of a barn most of the time).

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

he needs to take more naked cuts in front of the mirror, thats all.

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

time for Mo

[hockey0001]

he needs to take more naked cuts in front of the mirror, thats all.

haha , well played sir

[hockey0001]

time for Mo

time for ortiz

[aloneatlastnj]

wtf @ farnsworth. jesus.

cant say i'm not nervous right now. mo has been lackluster lately. definitely lost his rhythm, out of his groove, whatever.

hahaha ortiz fucking broke the bat over his leg. cry baby.

[LeftWideOpen]

manny!!!

[crit]

yeah manny!!!!

[Jesse2]

hahaha ortiz fucking broke the bat over his leg. cry baby.

a la Bo Jackson

[aloneatlastnj]

shit. papelbon is gonna shut the yanks down here. he is a fucking monster.

[mikeford]

way to go trot. guess god didnt help you out there.

[LeftWideOpen]

way to go trot. guess god didnt help you out there.

maybe god will help him out when he's on the free agent market and the best offer he gets is a 2 year deal worth about 5 million from someone like the nationals or pirates.

i hope he saved his money.

[mikeford]

shit. papelbon is gonna shut the yanks down here. he is a fucking monster.

who cares if he does or doesnt? is the scary lineup of mike lowell alex cora and doug mirabelli really gonna drive in any runs?

[crit]

shit. papelbon is gonna shut the yanks down here. he is a fucking monster.
he sure is. i love this guy.

[aloneatlastnj]

who cares if he does or doesnt? is the scary lineup of mike lowell alex cora and doug mirabelli really gonna drive in any runs?

the way the yanks relief has been fucking up in this game? i wouldnt say no.

[mikeford]

we dont have yankee killer extraordinaire bill mueller, i'd say youre safe.

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

if varitek doesnt pinch hit for belli in this at bat....

[LeftWideOpen]

if varitek doesnt pinch hit for belli in this at bat....

one at bat too late ...but better then never.

[crit]

varitek! come on!

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

pinch hit aka swing at first pitch like a schmuck

[LeftWideOpen]

fuck! 1st pitch varitek?

[LeftWideOpen]

hey guys its okay .

dustin mohr is up :rolleyes:

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

nice at bat asshole

[crit]

dustan mohr is terrible

[kshtoinks12]

there we go

[crit]

fuck! 1st pitch varitek?

knowing dustan mohr was on deck, varitek had to be thinking "i'm the last hope for the team" and yet he goes up there and swings at the first pitch.

[mikeford]

fuck varitek. what a dumbass. way to go jasomar varitekiaparaa

[crit]

unrelated BUT pujols just hit another homer.

[crit]

tomorrow night: clement vs johnson. advantage: clement.

[hockey0001]

knowing dustan mohr was on deck, varitek had to be thinking "i'm the last hope for the team" and yet he goes up there and swings at the first pitch.

i dont really have a problem with him swinging at the first pitch. Its like theyre trying to get rivera's pitch count up, and theres the possibility of it being the best pitch he sees

[mikeford]

tomorrow night: clement vs johnson. advantage: clement.

not quite.

[NetNerdsRevenge]

i dont really have a problem with him swinging at the first pitch. Its like theyre trying to get rivera's pitch count up, and theres the possibility of it being the best pitch he sees
ya, it was the same pitch Cora hit into right field. It looked like Tek was trying to put to much of an upper cut swing to lift it, but instead popped it up. Still, for just coming into the game, I would of taken a few pitches. Then again, Tek has a knack for swinging at junk balls in the dirt with two strikes.

or fastballs at his eyes

[NetNerdsRevenge]

so basically his plate discipline is not all that great.

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

so....Wright left the game last night with a groin injury.

[mikeford]

good.

hopefully clement throws at sheffields wrist today too.

[aloneatlastnj]

the Yankees are having a horrible time right now but i give them all credit where credit is due relying on Mussina and Rivera with their terrible line up and that sad excuse for a catcher (only a notch above Boston's own Mirabelli) Kelly Stinnet. AND STILL, they're 1 1/2 games back. speaking of Stinnet, that guy is absolutely HORRIBLE.

Posada is injured AGAIN and Damon is getting the night off, leaving Melky Cabrera as lead off?! damn. i'm pretty much giving this game to the Sox tonight, ESPECIALLY since Johnson is on the mound.

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

damon and posada out tonight

i dont think it was unprofessional by manny, obviously he was trying to locate the ball just like arod was.

[LeftWideOpen]

please. you've got to be kidding me.

fucking harsh, dude. at least have SOME respect and class for the players. oh, that's right. you're a boston red sox fan. class and professionalism don't exist and every last ounce died along with Ted Williams.
.

take your own advice buddy. you honestly think someone is going to take you seriously if you follow up "have some respect and class" with a statement like that. :shake:

[mikeford]

sorry, any other yankee (other than giambi) and i wouldnt condone throwing at them but sheffield is a roider who should get thrown at during every at bat.

[aloneatlastnj]

sorry, any other yankee (other than giambi) and i wouldnt condone throwing at them but sheffield is a roider who should get thrown at during every at bat.


alright, fair enough. apologies all around, then. i have reason to suspect sheff is a roider as well. i shouldve put two and two together because ive seen your comments on sheffield and shouldve realized what you were talking about. goddamn this boston/new york bitterness. but all is well. i enjoy talking baseball.

[aloneatlastnj]

damon and posada out tonight

i dont think it was unprofessional by manny, obviously he was trying to locate the ball just like arod was.

if you watch the replays of both hits, you can tell manny knew it was out of there. he stood for a good 10 seconds and watched it go to the center field seats before he even THOUGHT about running, as where arod mistook his homer for a fly ball behind the catcher and ran it out before running the bases.

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

you took me serious....yankees fans are dopes.

[aloneatlastnj]

you took me serious....yankees fans are dopes.

can't sense sarcasm over a messageboard in a situation like that. with the way things are going for the yanks, i feel the need to add my two cents every now and then. have to get rid of the majority of the red sox ass kissing here. heh. :rolleyes:

[hockey0001]

Red Sox need to win this game tonight, Johnson has been sucking and the Sox should clobber him. And the Yankees lineup looks pretty weak without damona and posada

Cabrera, RF
Jeter, SS
Sheffield, DH
Giambi, 1B
Rodriguez, 3B
Cano, 2B
Williams, CF
Long, LF
Stinnett, C

yes, the yankees are playing with a depleted line up and an even more depleted starting rotation. i give them any amount of credit for being this close in the race. and the sox dont NEED to win this game, they SHOULD win this game. johnson has been HORRIBLE.

[aloneatlastnj]

ps that kid doesn't speak for all yankees fans.

well if the red sox finish above the blue jays this year, she has to quit the board. so theres that.

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

mass pike, thats where that ball is

[aloneatlastnj]

what a shot for manny. at least he didnt sit there and watch it leave this time.

and im not a general kid. that place is ridiculous. i'm considering the sports forum my home. at least the people here are, for the most part, sensible and know what they're talking about. i like good sports discussion.

[hockey0001]

randy johnson is quickly becoming my favorite pitcher in the AL

[aloneatlastnj]

ouch. right on the leg. but hell, at least it's not a line drive to the head like last season.

hahah. sounds like your sheff comment from earlier today. again - sorry for the harsh, hypocritical post.


what a mini-meltdown for clement that inning. 1 more hit for jeter's 2,000th. if he stays healthy he'll hit 3,000 without a doubt. what a season for jeter.

[mikeford]

no im dead serious i wish matt clement would die so he could stop sucking balls every 5th day.

[LeftWideOpen]

YOOOOOOUUUUKKK!!!

Tied up.

[aloneatlastnj]

wow. what a hit for youkilis. no wonder snow is nothing but a benchwarmer. youkilis has been flashing some glove and producing like crazy for boston. good for him, even worse for snow.

what a tough few at bats for ortiz. last night's strike out, his first at bat for a strike out in tonight's game, now the ground out to giambi. rough.

[mikeford]

fuckin eh... youk with some power for a change

[aloneatlastnj]

yet another strike out for ortiz. ouch.

[jaimej]

YOOOOOOUUUUKKK!!!

Tied up.
I like Youkilis as a batter. Though his at bats are like 20 mins long, haha. but he takes his time like Giambi, takes a lot of pitches. It's gotta be hard to be that patient at the plate.

[aloneatlastnj]

what an embarassing moment for proctor. christ. manny just owned that inside pitch...

[jaimej]

Fucking Farnsworth is a waste of life.

[Broken Parachute]

is this a 3 game series or a 4 game series?

[Broken Parachute]

Holy shit Big Papi, HOW can you take that? That's in his wheelhouse.

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

thats not his wheelhouse at all, but certainly not a pitch that he should ever take with 2 strikes

[Broken Parachute]

thats not his wheelhouse at all, but certainly not a pitch that he should ever take with 2 strikes

If he put a good swing on that, you don't think he could have wrapped it around the pesky pole?

[kshtoinks12]

sweet, foulke's in, this game's over

[kshtoinks12]

ortiz takes the collar and the sombrero tonight

[kshtoinks12]

wow, i'm surprised. foulke didn't blow the game yet

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

you dont really pay attention to baseball do you?

[aloneatlastnj]

Fucking Farnsworth is a waste of life.

are you watching this game? if a waste of life means taking down one of the most dangerous hitters in boston's line up by making him strike out looking, then yes.

[kshtoinks12]

you dont really pay attention to baseball do you?
yea i do..why?

[Broken Parachute]

wow, i'm surprised. foulke didn't blow the game yet

How can he blow it if the Yankees are winning?

[kshtoinks12]

hahahaaha holy shit, amazing play.

[kshtoinks12]

How can he blow it if the Yankees are winning?
they were still in reach, i figured he'd put it out of reach

[Broken Parachute]

Nice play by Jeter, gotta admit.

[aloneatlastnj]

wow. never would have expected that the yankees would take 2 out of 3 from the red sox. well, i'm surprised. pleasantly, of course.

[kshtoinks12]

wow. never would have expected that the yankees would take 2 out of 3 from the red sox. well, i'm surprised. pleasantly, of course.

wow. never would have expected that the yankees would take 2 out of 3 from the red sox. well, i'm surprised. pleasantly, of course.
Me too. To be honest I expected Red Sox to win all 3 games. In fact with the injuries the Yankees had, they were kind of must-win games.

[jaimej]

are you watching this game? if a waste of life means taking down one of the most dangerous hitters in boston's line up by making him strike out looking, then yes.
Were you watching the game? If you were you'd know I wrote that before his at bat.

Anyone who says Jeter isn't a gold glove caliber SS after that play is fucking retarded.

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

one play? are you even serious?

[selftitled85]

well he has had a lot of other plays. its just the one play is a highlighted.

one play where he has to go into the hole qualifies him as a gold glove caliber SS? Sign Manny up for left field then.

Derek Jeter UZR: -28.

Thank you. I'm not fucking retarded, I know that ONE play doesn't qualify you. I'm just saying he makes plays like that on a daily basis.

did you ever think that maybe other SS make that same play, but with more ease because they have better range?

Derek Jeter UZR: -28.

i love how the yankee fans flooded the thread AFTER the yankees won.

:rolleyes:

well then I'm a retard. Jeter showed his lack of range many times in the series and there are a good amount of shortstops who would have made that play routinely

I can assure you that jeter is not in the Yankees Team for his SS abilities. He's only in the team because of his batting record.

exactly. dude is a hell of a baseball player ...but its because of his bat. the notion that he's a gold glove SS is why many people consider him to be overrated (not saying me, just those who do).

Definitely, I think people just need to be more careful about how they word their accolades with Jeter. He's a great player/teammate, no doubt. Granted, some of his plays are exciting because his range is limited, he's still an exciting guy to watch. I think any team would be happy to have him somewhere in the lineup.

[jaimej]

I'm not saying he's the most amazing short stop ever. I can pretty much agree with everything said thus far. My point was for to the people who are like "Jeter sucks, he's overrated, doesn't deserve his gold glove, yadda yadda yadda" none of which are currently posting in this thread. So I guess I'm preaching to the choir. I never said anything about his range, I noted that he made a great play that a lot of people didn't expect. That's all. I forgot that we get overflowed with drama anytime anyone says anything in the Yankees favor.

[mikeford]

he doesnt and has never deserved a gold glove.

well the mets and phillies fans and yankees and red sox fans deserve threads for their series because they are intense.

No one gives two shits about the pirates-brewers series.

No one outside of New York and Philly gives a shit about those two teams. Your point?
