LETS GO NATION!

[DOrtiz4prez]

We've got game 1. Schill vs Moose.

 

Piece a cake

[sarasoxfan]

piece of cake?

 

I'm not sure about that, but we will win...

 

I dont think any game with the MFY's is a piece of cake. I think though that this series is going to be epic and I want to kick there asses.

 

I think mussina is doing well lately, its going to take every one on our team to rise to the occasion.

 

I am going nuts waiting...

 

go sox.

i just read this in the new york daily news. I wasnt aware of some of these ailments.

 

 

Game 1 starter Mike Mussina is fine and should be well-rested because he flew back to New York before Game 4 against the Twins in order to be ready to start in a possible decisive game. But Lieber and Brown both have back problems, though the Yankees claim not to be worried.

 

There are other problems, too. In Game 4, Javier Vazquez had an outing that was typical of his substandard second half, throwing several sharp innings but ultimately giving up too much to be considered effective.

 

As for Orlando Hernandez, who knows? He did not throw yesterday or Saturday and no one seems to know if he will ever be able to contribute this October, though a bullpen

Here are some words of wisdom from Darren Erstad about our boys:

"These boys are winning the World Series, by the way," said Erstad, an Angel who possesses the kind of iron required of a champion. "That's the deepest team I've ever seen. They have every piece of the puzzle. I don't see anybody beating them."

 

One game at a time...we'll do this.

[Dent-This]

Here are the boys averages against Mussina this year:

Jesus - 75 AB/18 H/4 2B/1 HR/9 RBI/7 BB/11 K/.240 BA/.631 OPS

Manny - 74 AB/15 H/2 2B/1 3B/5 HR/13 RBI/17 K/.203 BA/.713 OPS

Trot - 57 AB/11 H/5 2B/1 HR/4 RBI/5 BB/17 K/.193 BA/.603 OPS

Tek - 44 AB/4 H/3 BB/22 K/.091 BA/.240 OPS

Ortiz - 29 AB/2 H/1 RBI/3 BB/14 K/.069 BA/.225 OPS

Millar - 23 AB/8 H/2 2B/1 HR/3 RBI/3 BB/2 K/.348 BA/.988 OPS

Minky - 12 AB/3 H/1 2B/3 K/.250 BA/.583 OPS

Kapler - 12 AB/2 H/1 HR/4 RBI/1 K/.167 BA/.583 OPS

Bellhorn - 9 AB/3 H/1 HR/2 RBI/4 BB/3 K/.333 BA/1.205 OPS

Mirabelli - 6 AB/2 H/1 2B/1 BB/1 K/.333 BA/.929 OPS

O.C. - 5 AB/1 H/1 2B/1 K/.200 BA/.600 OPS

Pokey - 2 AB/0 H/1 K

 

 

There's gunna be another battle tomorrow night for sure.

when i think of mussina at fenway, i think of that one dreadful game where he almost threw a no-hitter, and then *gasp* carl everett *sigh* broke it up. to me, i would rather have had him get the damn no hitter because i hate everett, but anyway, it will be a fight no matter whos pitching. its red sox/yankees, and these are the games that prove what it means to be a red sox fan.

It was a perfect game, not a no hitter. This one will be close, both are great pitchers.

[YanksHater213]

But yeszir, it wasnt a perfect game... it was a perfect game until carl "i am always gonna be a jackass as long as i live" everett broke it up, so in the end, it wasnt a perfect game...

But he said he broke up the no hitter. It wasnt anything by the end of the game, but when dinosaur carl got the hit, Mussina had a perfect game going.

[YanksHater213]

I see what you mean now...

[YanksHater213]

and technically he was right, since a perfect game is a no-hitter...

[DOrtiz4prez]

Why does it matter?

[schillingouttheks]

my god, i have to agree...who cares, my bad, it was a perfect game...o well...

 

anyway, mussina has been pretty good against us if i remember correctly (?), and i really would like to absolutely demolish him in game 1, and make him nervous for his next game against us. and why are there so many threads on this topic?

[DOrtiz4prez]

If we absolutely hammer him tomorrow, he'll come into the next game worried and he'll be the Sox' fresh meat.

Mike Mussina - had three regular season starts against us:

Apr.17 - 5 IP/7 H/4 R/3 ER/1 HR/4BB/2 K/99 P/L(5-2)

Sep. 19 - 7 IP/1 R/1 ER/0 HR/2 BB/8 K/117 P/W(11-1)

Sep. 24 - 6 IP/5 H/3 R/3 ER/2 HR/3 BB/6 K/103P/ND(6-4) - MFY won

 

Career post-season vs. Bos:

3 G/4.11 ERA/0-2 REC/15.3 IP/16 H/7 ER/4 BB/17 K

 

Career post-season in ALCS:

7 G/3.07 ERA/1-3 REC/44 IP/32 H/15 ER/11 BB/51 K

[yeszir]

Despite pitching well in the postseason, and even against Boston, Mussina has a horrible record. It's because he's been matched up, as the number 1 starter, with Pedro. He'll have a tough matchup again this year with Schilling.

GAME 1 IS IMPORTANT!!

 

I hope we can set the temple early and score in the first inning

 

 

LETS GO CURT!!!
