Yankees vs. Red sox

[soxmuscle]

i think is it the jesus christ look. that and the fact that the man seems like he wants to be anywhere but in the batters box, can you see how much he is moving around and never seems comfortable?

Have you not seen Johnny Damon play the last 5+ plus years? Regardless of how good he is playing, he'll always look bad when he strikes out. He's a free swinger.

With that being said, he was the toughest guy in the American League to strike out and has already struck out five times. He definitly seems to be slumping since he made those "migraine" comments two weeks ago.

So then:

Arroyo
Wakefield
Lowe
Pedro/Schilling
Pedro/Schilling

that is if it gets that far and that's putting a lot of eggs in one basket

It looks as if there could be a rain out tommorow, and I think it definitly helps the Red Sox. If that happens, Pedro will pitch in game five in Boston.

Game 3: Arroyo
Game 4: Wakefield
Game 5: Pedro
Game 6: Arroyo on three days rest or Lowe.
Game 7: Schilling

Boy would it be a story from a book if the Red Sox forced a game seven and Schilling with the bum ankle and all is lights out in the Stadium..

I guess wishful thinking is not a good idea at this point.

Anything's possible.. But I hope not..

Anythings possible? talking to Yankee fans, it seems that the series is first one to win two games. Little do they know, it takes 4.

I have a feeling Arroyo is going to pitch a real good game and lets not forget aside from the Boone homer Wakefield owned the yankees.
There is no way there can be a sweep, that team is just too good. They will wake up soon enough.

That's what I'm afraid of. I can't believe Boston's going to go away that easily.

 

[soxmuscle]

I'll say it now, and i'll say it if they lose. The Red Sox are a better team than the Yankees.

I never heard of the better team losing..

More talented might have been the more appropriate word, but you've honestly never heard of the better team losing?

And you talk about Yankee fans ? Keep kidding yourself. Boston has the chance to show who the better team is, and it's not by losing..

Nope.

The Red Sox are the Red Sox, the Yankees are the Yankees. Regardless of talent, the Yankees have the edge and its really showing in this series thus far.

First base: Kevin Millar vs. John Olerud=== Boston (Olerud is old but still a better fielder)
Second base: Mark Bellhorn vs. Miguel Cairo==Even
Third base: Bill Mueller vs. Alex Rodriguez===NY
Shortstop: Orlando Cabrera vs. Derek Jeter== NY (Jeter over Nomar also)
Catcher: Jason Varitek vs. Jorge Posada=== Even
Left field: Manny Ramirez vs. Hideki Matsui===Boston (Scariest hitter)
Center field: Johnny Damon vs. Kenny Lofton==Boston ( I prefer Bernie at center)
Right field: Trot Nixon vs. Gary Sheffield===NY (Sheff is one tough MF)
DH: David Ortiz vs. Bernie Williams====Boston ( although bernie shines at this time of year)

He does hit more but his strikeouts are too high.

Strikeouts? who gives a shit about strike outs?

 

[I Are Baboon]

Looks like a probable rainout tonight.

Wishful thinking from a Red Sox fan...

 

[Du]

Just watching the news, Schilling is definitely not starting game 5 and is highly doubtful for the rest of the series.

 

[I Are Baboon]

Wishful thinking from a Red Sox fan...

Hell yeah. It might allow Pedro to start game five.

 

[Triple Threat]

Just watching the news, Schilling is definitely not starting game 5 and is highly doubtful for the rest of the series.

I don't see how Schilling can pitch again this year. The man has an injury that will require surgery to heal. It's not as if he has a tired arm where a few extra days of rest can make a difference.

On another note, while the series has gone the way I wanted, it has not gone the way that I expected. If someone had told me before the series started that the scores of the first two games would be 10-7 and 3-1 in favor of NY, I would have thought that Mussina-Schilling would have hooked up in a pitcher's duel and that Pedro would have been clobbered in game 2.

The Yankees need to grab game 3 or 4. If the series should be tied at 2-2, another strong outing by Martinez would leave NY needing another sweep at the Stadium.

 

[SPIKE1257]

Anyone think they'll get the game in tonite ?

 

[I Are Baboon]

It's not looking good. 60% chance of thunderstorms in Bostom between 9:00 and 12:00 tonight, and it's already been raining all day there today.

 

[soxmuscle]

ESPN is reporting that the game will be postponed.

OK, I was wrong. But in this case I don't mind.

 

[solid10]

Yanks lead the series 3-0.

Had to be a Boston fan

 

[MaxMirkin]

I just keep wondering where all that great Boston pitching went? You know the one we were supposed to be so afraid of?

One more, baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
