It's in the bag. A new month, time for a new team. No more of this .500 crap.

At least we're winning...

[Beaneater]

Yanks just lost. I know, the standings tell me that I should have been rooting for the Yanks to beat Toronto, but I can't bring myself to do that. Were any of you rooting for NYY as you should logically have been?

 

/crickets/

 

I didn't think so.

[stocker323]

Foulke allows a homer. 6-5 Sox. Here comes more let's somehow get a better closer than Foulke posts.<_>

[yankeessuck013]

yay we win, yankees lose...could this day be any more perfect!!!!

[mosox]

Michael Young went deep for an out right before the HR. Foulke escaped with that one.

[YanksHater213]

...if the O's lost...

[yankeessuck013]

...if the O's lost...

 

ehhh, not worried about them right now, they can't stay this hot all season, i just hope the yankees keep losing

 

....and the rate they are losing at they could be losing 'til the next ice age

[yankeessuck013]

today my play of the game goes to kevin millar...

 

... After Renteria booted the ball in the sixth, he compounded his mistake by throwing to first even though there was no chance to get the runner. The throw was awful but Millar made a nice pick to keep the runners on first and second instead of second and third. Next batter, double play, inning over.

Damon, CF	5	0	1	1	0	1	5	.356
Nixon, RF	5	0	2	2	0	2	2	.290
Ramirez, M, LF	3	1	1	0	2	0	1	.276

Renteria, SS	5	1	1	0	0	0	2	.227
Mueller, 2B	4	0	2	1	0	0	0	.271
Youkilis, 3B	3	1	1	1	2	1	1	.500
Totals	39	6	13	6	5	5	19	

A lot of LOB, but most of them had a hit which is nice. Youkilis especially impressed me.

[DOrtiz4prez]

Did anyone hit a homer because I coulda sworn someone did.

[yankeessuck013]

nope

[DOrtiz4prez]

I thought Trot did, did he get a big hit at any time. Because I left to go do something when Trot was up and then when I came back they had more runs and Manny was up.

[yankeessuck013]

he had a double right off the top of the wall with the bases loaded....couple inches away from a HR

[yagmaster]

Not the cleanest victor the Sox will have this season, but quite a satisfying one. Nice to see the Sox finally win a series in Texas, even if Foulke did struggle again.
