at that point you may as well save the runs for another game.

You're joking...right? "Save the runs for another game"? The Tigers should have "saved" some of those runs for later in the season....they only needed the one run last night. *smirk*

Well Andy pitched pretty well as i knew he would once again backing up my opinion of him doing well in big games.. Really wasnt too exciting 5-3win for the yanks, just ho hum here as a sox fan..

Ho-hum, eh? Don't get too spoiled. What's up with the golden boy from Japan? Getting roughed up a little the third time around the league.

Andy is my man...6-0 in August with a 2.36 ERA. Always there when it counts.

And now Seattle is playing some real teams...and losing.

Yanks 1 out in the wildcard now. Whatever happens the next 2 games, expect to see the Yanks again come playoff time.

He didn't have his best proformance but still it was just 5 runs into the 7th. unlike mussina's 9 through 3rd in his last outing.

Tonight you get to look forward to watching Beckett vs. the fat old man.

Just the fact you mentioned Mussina in the same post as Matsuzaka should have Sox fans worried.

lol thats true. Im not spoiled im just saying.. And Jim Seattle was never even on my radar, the only good thing you have going for you is Cleveland and Detroit play eachother more down the road.. Detroit is who you need to look out for not Seattle..

Last night....

Seattle lost.

Detroit lost.

Cleveland lost.

Detroit does not concern me...Seattle does and will until and if they are beaten in the 3 game series next week.

I don't watch Boston radar. LOL.

Look at Seattles schudule, trust me when i tell you both Detroit and Cleveland will have a better record than them

The Redsox missed Manny's bat in the lineup tonite, the old fat man actually pitched good. Im still not worried, although at about 5pm tomorrow i might change my tune.

Hey Jim i have a good stat i heard for Mussina, in his last 3 games hes thrown 220 pitches, of all those pitches he only has 8 swings with a miss, now thats when you know you lost your stuff.

 

[ComeBackMudPuddles]

the old fat man

The "old fat man" is 45 and still performs at a world class level. He's a living, breathing legend.

Boston's own fat man takes the mound tonight. I wonder if he'll be using a red marker on his ankle again to recapture some of that old magic. It worked for him before.

Yup, I hate to admit it but Clemens pitched very well. Beckett did not impress me even though he did pitch pretty well also...but not well enough.

The Yankees need the sweep today. We need to win ballgames and be tied with Seattle (who got swept by the Angels) at worst when they play them next week.

Unless he's injured, Mussina is done.

You're a Red Sox fan.

LOL.

Jim, no way the Mariners hang around. They are entering a brutal stretch, and their deck of cards will come crashing down.

It's AL Central vs. Yanks for the wild card with the Yankees in control (though if the Yanks beat the Sox in their four remaining games, the Sox's lead will be only two games with 25 or so to play....yes, wild dreaming is a good thing).

Re: Moose. No way he's this bad so quickly. He could probably rebound. But, it might not be worth the risk to find out, especially with other options on the table with much higher upside (Kennedy, Ian).

I don't agree with you about the Mariners...they've been playing about as well as the Yanks and just recently lost some games. Although the disaster in Texas may be telling. In any case, they always seem to play well against the Yanks and that's what concerns me.

I've seen enough of Mussina...he's been off all season and it's just gotten worse with time.

I've had more than enough of Sean Henn and Kyle Farnsworth too.

 

[JimG.]

SWEET!!!

Yanks just broke the game open...5-0 bottom 8th, 2 out.

The broom is about to come out of the closet.

are Jeter and Arod going to come out too?

 

[JimG.]

Nope, just a big old broom...5-0 final.


SWEEP...SWEEP...SWEEP

Joba pitched a perfect 8th and started the 9th but got thrown out for pitching high and tight 2 pitches in a row. I guess he got the Sox a little scared. They like to throw at the Yanks but don't like the pay back, especially when it's random.

Joba has an attitude for a young kid and I like it.

Well the yankees were playing for their lives and this was their little world series, the redsox were a little to ho-hum for me.. Almost too relaxed , i didnt see any excitement to win these games, i mean all they needed was 1 is that asking too much. I still dont think the yanks will catch them in the division but they made a statement and are to be feared in the playoffs, i think they now lead the sox in the season series 8-7. Hmmm The yanks are going one direction, and the Mets and redsox are not.

Well, Youkilis got pretty riled up...first on the out of the basepaths call (which was debatable but correct) and then those ridiculous (I finally saw replays of the 2 pitches and that was obvious) pitches Joba threw over his head.

Youkliis has fire in his gut...I like that.

I'm going over to that Mets thread to do a little stirring.

 

[FRITOLAYGUY]

Jim do you believe me now about the Mariners? They have lost 8 in a row and the schedule only gets tougher.. Was nice to see the young kid for the Sox throw a No-hitter last night.
