Prev. Gm:![]() |
New York Yankees (8-7) @ Boston Red Sox (9-6) |
GAME NOTES: Not this time, Wang! We’re not going to let you throw a gem of a shutout… right? Right! Buchholz was the tough-luck loser last go-round, and Coco Crisp is out tonight with sore hamstrings. Joe Thurston, as predicted by me (!!!!!!!!!) was called up. Jeter’s back, Posada’s DHing.



Well, Manny took care of Wang’s shutout early, but Clay’s digging himself a big hole. This could get ugly.
And I’m getting tired of hearing the word “squander.” Bases loaded, nobody out, and we get one stinking run? Ugh.
That was a huge missed opportunity by us … Wang rarely looks as bad as he did for the first 3 batters
Let’s hope Clay can settle things down and keep us in this ballgame … he looked a little nervous in front of the big crowd
Then again, I might be pretty happy if we score one run every inning.
And I only have the radio on now (working, can’t you tell?) but it sure sounds like Buchholz is jittery.
Man, I love Casey and all, but if I hear another opposing team’s announcer talk about how likable he is and that he’s “the mayor” I might have to get all Marion Barry on them.
Still, that safe call he made on himself was pretty awesome.
Could be worse guys, we could have CC Sabathia now. Jeez.
Not the game i was expecting when i saw the pitching matchups.
It is worse: we have Lugo.
Well that was fun while it lasted … it’s always enjoyable to see em bat around the lineup … no lead is safe against our team right now this is awesome lol … crazy game
apparently no lead is safe at all in this game … I cant believe this is still only the 5th inning … could be a long night
wtf was that???? please can we dfa Lugo now?? i hate him more than anything in the world right now, he’s such a horrible ball player…
Well, ok, I know it looks bad, but I can still justify this as a Tavarez fanboy. If they pull that double play there, the game’s still tied, and compared to most other pitchers in the game, that wasn’t a half-bad inning.
So, yeah. Tavarez would have… saved us?
It’s frustrating when someone like Latroy Hawkins can escape an inning when he lets a pair of runners aboard …missed opportunites kill in a game like this
One a side not … McClelland is driving me crazy with that delay on every pitch … an ump’s job is to make the game go smoothly … not to make it more entertaining … not to mention the fact he’s like doubling the length of this game lol
Gak… can we score some runs? Off of LaTroy?
Sam — no kidding… he frustrates me!
Wow. Bad call at 2nd there. Whiny pants was safe, though it was bang bang.
Sorry for all this blathering. Are chats dead or am I using a browser that doesn’t see them?
JD Drew showed the most emotion ive ever seen out of him after popping up off of Bruney! Id like to see more of that
It’s funny. Seeing Rivera warming actually gives me hope for the Sox. Imagine being able to say that 4 years ago.
Then again, seeing Timlin throwing makes me want to give up and start shucking some oysters for dinner.
How about Timlin stops sucking? That would be kind of awesome. Daddy would like that.
^ Written before Posada doubled.
Mike Timlin: not such a great pitcher. Where’s Gagne when you need him?
^ Written before Giambi roided out and date raped a ball to left.
^ Not so cool to write. Sorry about that. Please delete away with my apologies.
Hey, I’m just glad I currently don’t have the most off-putting comment of the season so far. it’s April 16th, so this is totally a new record for me.
I’m oddly nonplussed by today’s loss. yeah, it sucks, but whatever. When you give up 11 runs, you don’t win games, it doesn’t matter who you face.
Come back and beat ‘em tomorrow. I like our chances with Beckett vs. Mussina.
