September 15th Vs. Tampa Bay

[sarasoxfan]

we wont use him in the post season, maybe long relief but I think you have seen the last of wakefiled for awhile.God willing.

[empirestrikesback26]

geeze you give up on him that quicky?

[yeszir]

I'd be all for Lowe taking the 3rd starter spot if we make the playoffs. He showed great resolve last year getting that awesome strikeout to win it in Anaheim, and in his last 4 starts he's lowered his ERA .31 points and hasn't given up more than 3 runs. He's pitching extremely well.

 

Bronson could go 4th, if we do indeed use a 4 man rotation. I'm just afraid that he doesn't have enough experience to pitch effectively in the post season.

[sarasoxfan]

i think lowe will be the number three guy assuming we make the playoffs, and bronson that guy he might start if necessary.

[empirestrikesback26]

if? What the hell is if? When...

[element1151]

Nice clutch HR.

[empirestrikesback26]

damn i hope it doesn't rain this weekend.

[yeszir]

Why. Why can we not beat the Devil Rays into submission. Why do they always claw back and piss me off. Damn it. It was the 9 hitter too!

[Zenny]

W. T. F.

[empirestrikesback26]

it's not even a big deal. still tied. you might not be bandwagonners, but you sure give up fast.

[empirestrikesback26]

and now you re leading again.

[stocker323]

No we're not.

[empirestrikesback26]

come on, you might as well be.

[empirestrikesback26]

told ya.

[empirestrikesback26]

hm, bases loaded 0 out=1 run. Pulled a yankees there.

[empirestrikesback26]

the fact that you had to use the bullpen is an added plus for the yanks this wekend. Don't rain on it.

Right, because teams never use their bullpens in games? Do the yankees automatically win if their opposition uses their bullpen a few days before? :shrug:

[empirestrikesback26]

No but you have to admit, a fresh bullpen should perform better.

Ill take our semi over worked bullpen over the Yankees old, worn out, and tired bullpen

[elsrbueno]

Hey guys,

 

Last night's game was UGLY. Tampa kept battling, but you have to give the Sox credit: They stayed positive, truly battled in this game, and most importantly: Got the win.

 

Timmy struggled again. Definately hurting his chances to start in the playoffs lately... we can only hope he'll turn it around!

 

Another positive from yesterday's game: AFTER Leskanic, the bullpen threw 3 2/3 hitless innings!

[yeszir]

Anaheim lost to Seattle, 1-0. 5.5 back in the wild card. Anything that helps bring any magic number down to 0 is a good thing.

[mosox]

An ugly win is a win, that's about all that can be said about last night.

[Bren25x]

What is the magic # for a playoff birth? anyone?

[elsrbueno]

According to mlb.com, Anaheim's Elimination # (from the wild card) is 13.

 

Considering they are the closest team in contention with us, I would say that's our magic #.

 

Which means (for anyone who doesn't know what a magic # is):

 

Any combination of Red Sox wins and Anaheim losses that totals 13 games will effectively eliminate Anaheim from Wild Card contention. Once Boston's magic number is 0.... They've clinched that spot.

uh huh? I would much rather take mo over the foulker. I would take flash over embree. Basically the yankees bullpen is slightly better.

[stocker323]

The Yankee bullpen has been overworked all season and it will come back to bite you in the playoffs.
