lets bring out the third broom in a row and narrow our deficit in the AL EAST. suddenly our sights our set on the spankmees again.

 

yanks open up a 3-game series at cleveland. for the opener tomorrow its mussina vs lee. pedro vs lilly should be a win for us, and mussina vs lee should be a loss for the skanks.

 

there is no reason we shouldnt sweep the yanks with petey wake and schilldawg goin...

 

go sox...

 

and im off to bed...nighty night...keep your *******s tight.

Starting gameday threads so early isnt usually that good, because it keeps people from posting in the other thread, which could still have some good discussion. Just a thought for the future...

ive never been there...just some rhyme i came up with...

[YanksHater213]

we will win this one. manny has been hitting better than anyone in the league. Ortiz is heating up. Pedro has been dominant. Cabrera has been playing 50 times better. Doug is showing flashes of what we thought he would be. Tek has been on fire. Foulke has been pitching good. It all adds up to a win tonight

[YanksHater213]

very very good start by pedro

[empirestrikesback26]

great start by lily.

[YanksHater213]

he was just way too dominant. props to him.

[empirestrikesback26]

he did the same to the yanks this season. He's a tough pitcher now.

[schillingouttheks]

one, y wasnt doug playing

 

two, y the hell is lilly doing so well

 

and three...WHY THE f*** WASNT VARITEK CATCHING PEDRO...HE WAS SO HOT AND NOW HES GUNNA COOL DOWN...ANYONE GOT A REASON FOR ME??!?!?!!

 

and mirabelli didnt do s*** tonight..

[empirestrikesback26]

He dropped his appeal, makes no sense why he would do it now when the team was rolling.

[ACL BoSox]

Well, he needs to do it soon, I don't want the suspension affecting the Red Sox in September when they need to be 100% healthy.

 

IMO, it's a smart move.

 

As for tonight's game. What can you say? Lilly pitched great, end of story. He's been doing that his last few starts, but has lacked run support to show for it. On the flip side, Pedro did not pitch that bad either. 7.0 IP, 3 ER, and 10 K is most definately a quality start, even in a loss.

 

We have Tim Wakefield going tomorrow who has pitched well against the Blue Jays, but I doubt Bautista will do as poorly as he did last time out. So tomorrows game could go either way.

 

As for Wednesday, Schilling should put on a clinic. I really hope we win tomorrow so we can just keep taking these road series that we so desperately need to do.

[empirestrikesback26]

I disagree. He was a huge part of your success. He should of done it when he was in a slump and maybe some rest would help, not incredibly hot IMO.

[schillingouttheks]

what hes saying is we can beat the jays without varitek, which we can. varitek wouldnt have added much tonight anyway as lilly looked like last years barry zito with that curve ball. quality start for lilly. good job to him, thats all u can say.

[empirestrikesback26]

Yea i guess i could understand that way of thinking.

[yeszir]

You gotta cool of sometime I guess. Good news is we're still tied for first in the wildcard.

[YanksHater213]

i think empirestrikesback is right. its ridiculous to drop it at such a time when the team is rolling, and varitek himself was doing very well too

[yeszir]

I agree with ACL Bosox. Better now than later when we may really be in the thick of things and in need of an offensive boost, right? It would be a shame to lose it at the very end of the season because of a suspension.

[schillingouttheks]

like i said...we can still win a baseball game against the jays without varitek. besides tek wouldnt have done much against lilly last night either
