June 5th @ Kansas City

Johnny says:

They're just still jealous that I'm not here anymore. I know they'd still love to have me here. They traded me and I've been in a better situation for the past four years. I've been winning a lot of games. I won 102 games [in 2001 with Oakland], 93 the following year, then 95 [last season], and we're going to win another 95 this year so I'm in a good situation

[YanksHater213]

just wanted to get this one back in front of yesterdays thread... thats all

 

GO SOX!

[roary]

Hopefully we can count on Schill. If he fails us, who can we count on? He hasnt lost since may 13th, so I'm confident in his ability to beat the lowly Royals.

Well, if any of you want to pass the time till the sox game, watch the Belmont Stakes at 5:30 on NBC. Ya gotta be pulling for Smarty. Here's the Kentucky Derby clip: http://teamsmartyjones.com/pages/page.cfm?...26&featureid=-1

 

Go Smarty! (Until 7pm, then GO SOX!)

Yea, it'll be the first horse race that I've ever watched. I'm pulling for him.

Rain??? WTF?

[Tek04]

Yankees lost today, thats 1 good thing that happened for me this weekend.

[yawkeyway]

The MFY didnt just lose, they got killed 8-1!

 

And the weather in KC looks like it should improve soon, here's the doppler:

[yeszir]

Lol, Doppler. We've got ourselves a weatherman here folks!

[YanksHater213]

yawkey is now known as weather man, and also if it wasnt posted the MFY got routed 8-1, we gotta win tonight

[yawkeyway]

aww, shucks, the weatherman? I couldn't have a cooler name?

 

Anyway, sox up 2-1. Very nice. We need to claw back at the yankees, seeing as how they lost.

[YanksHater213]

oh yea ortizzle...

 

2-1 us

[YanksHater213]

oh yea, 4-1, bellhorns the man

[yeszir]

Sox are 1-5 odds to win this game.....

[yagmaster]

Wow back to back triples. I have never seen that before. I'm betting Pokey just doubled his slugging percentage.

[YanksHater213]

YOURE MY BOY YOUKS

[YanksHater213]

good win boys. lets look to seize this opportunity and carry the bats over to help lowe out so he doesnt make us lose... again

[dirtdogman5]

Phew! Glad to get a win out of the way. Maybe we can go on a little win streak now. That would be nice. Lowe gets his stuff back tomorrow.

[yeszir]

I hate how Tito is using Foulke in any and every situation. We may need him tomorrow in a close game, and he may not be up to snuff because he pitched tonight.

Foulke needed some work. He'll be even better tomorrow if he needs to come in having already had an inning under his belt tonight. It's better to pitch one inning after pitching one innings the day before than coming in after not pitching in 4 days (at least for a reliever).

[JMDurron]

A few thoughts

 

1) Foulke likes to work at least semi-regularly. If that's what keeps him happy and efficient, then that's what Tito should be doing. Plus DiNardo and Martinez had been worked alot lately, and Embree could always use a little break.

 

2) Bellhorn over Pokey when Nomar comes back is becoming more and more obvious as Bellhorn's hitting improves. I believe he's up to .267 now.

 

3) We did not suck tonight. Enough said.

A few thoughts on your thoughs

 

1) True, closers cant just pitch in save opportunities because theyll get rusty and not pitch well like you said

 

2) Very True, I have been a Bellhorn believer since the start. I always knew he would play good, but not this good. He deserves to start. He has reached base in 49 of 53 games this season. He is batting .361 in his last 14 games.

 

3) True, Of course we didnt suck.
