July 11th Vs. Texas

[yagmaster]

Let's keep it going boys!

[Ortiz34]

I sense another stunning performance from wakefield, and 10 + runs once again.

[JMDurron]

I'm expecting a slight letdown from our offense. Maybe we'll only get 6-7 runs today.

[CrespoBlows]

Reese isn't playing today so we can get more runs!

[sarasoxfan]

whats manny's deal?

[CrespoBlows]

hamstrings

[schillingouttheks]

i just saw mirabelli go deep gangster style, and u know what, im starting to realize how overlooked mirabelli has been this year. even though he only plays in 1 game every 5, his numbers, to me, look better than they normally have been for every game...YEA DAMON JUST HIT ANOTHER DINGER TO TIE IT YAY...16 GAME HIT STREAK WOOHOO...cave man look is paying off. anway, back to mirabelli, i dont see why he cant get the starting nod if varitek leaves, id love to hear what u people have to say about it, but i mean, if we are going to get RJ, we need to trade top prospects like shopach (sp?). just a thought for another forum subject possibly...

[Zenny]

What's up with Foulke? Recently, it seems like every time that he has come in he gives up a run or two. Not good, I don't like it.

[schillingouttheks]

amen to that

[sarasoxfan]

just was thinking the same thing.

[sarasoxfan]

okay, bottom of the ninth...lets GGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOO SOXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

[YanksHater213]

manny manny manny, smart move by tito here

[YanksHater213]

POKEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! hes gotta learn to stay awake over there

[CrespoBlows]

Pokey sucks!!!!!!!!!!

[schillingouttheks]

lol...i cant believe that just happened...great and bellhorns up, ready for a bat leaning on the shoulder giant fat K...

[schillingouttheks]

who called the strikeout looking??? I DID!!!

[CrespoBlows]

called it nomah, POKEY YOU STILL SUCK!!!!

[JMDurron]

That was low AND outside. Robbed.

[schillingouttheks]

pokey was safe, but still, that doesnt matter, to be caught off guard that like there is no excuse. the pitcher and 1Bman will always get that call if the ball beats u there...hopefully bellhorn gets a tongue-lashing after today. let me tell u something tho, im happy johnny extended his hitting streak!!!

[Zenny]

Pokey was safe at 1st and that pitch to Bellhorn was ball four. Ortiz should be up right now with the bases juiced or potentially in a tie game.

[schillingouttheks]

dont kill me for sayin this, but i tihnk it was the final out when pokey was picked off, i mean safe. but still, like i said before, if the ball beats u like that and ur caught off guard, u will never get the call. and truthfully, even though the pitch did look bad, bellhorn needs to swing the bat more. he always goes down with the bat on his shoulders. SWING THE DAMN BAT. and also, i just think the pitch was framed poorly, it was a screwball.

[CrespoBlows]

POKEY BLOWS THATS WHY WE LOST!

[Ortiz34]

wow.. Good job losing the game on a pickoff. Luckily Oakland still lost, so were one game ahead in the wild card. Foulke blew it again. Im starting to think he wasn't that great of a pickup.

[Tek04]

yea i mean pokey is one of the guys everyone loves...but sucks...like lou merloni....too bad pokey picks the worst times to suck

[Ortiz34]

yeah, i agree tek. He was exactly like merloni. Haha sometimes i couldn't tell if it was "Lou" or "Boo" they were chanting.

[yagmaster]

Add today's blunder of not pinch-hitting Manny in the 8th to the ever-growing list of Francona's mistakes.

but at least he pinch hit him in the 9th...

[elsrbueno]

I listened to the game on the radio (like all games) so I can't comment on the final pitch....but the thing you tell players from little league on up is PROTECT THE PLATE with 2 strikes. If it's close enough to be called a strike, you best be hacking at it.

 

Belly....I'm dissapointed.

 

I consider 5 of 6 against wild card contenders to be a success. So the yankmees swept Tamba Bay....big accomplishment...

[ARod2212]

I thought that was ball 4, but with 2 strikes you have to try to foul off anything close. Tough way to lose a game, I would pissed.

The Yankees would have got ball four called
