BRONX, New York (Ticker) -- Matt Clement tries to slow down the New York Yankees when he takes the mound for the Boston Red Sox on Saturday.

 

With Curt Schilling out of action with a bone bruise in his right ankle, Clement (5-0, 3.34 ERA) has inherited the top spot in Boston's rotation. He yielded two runs and four hits in a complete-game victory over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday.

 

The Yankees' Carl Pavano (4-3, 3.69) has won his last four decisions after an 0-2 start. He surrendered three runs and eight hits in seven innings against the New York Mets on Sunday.

 

Gary Sheffield hit a three-run homer and Robinson Cano added a two-run shot in a five-run sixth inning to lead New York to a 6-3 victory over Boston on Friday.

 

Since their 11-19 start, the Yankees have won 16 of 18 - including five straight - and are 3 1/2 games behind the Baltimore Orioles for first place in the American League East.

 

Despite having dropped its last four contests, Boston will try to end New York's nine-game home winning streak.

Damon!

 

 

1-0 Bosox!!!!!!!!!!

[yeszir]

Ugh, I just woke up. All games should be played at 7:05 EST. That should be a law.

[yeszir]

Olerud hits in his first sox AB.

[yeszir]

Damon is an absolute beast.

[Sox fan in Tex]

f***, and I can't see the game. This blows.

[Sox fan in Tex]

2-0 Sox

[yeszir]

And Renteria! 3-0. Rent is 10 of his last 17 ABs.

[Sox fan in Tex]

How bad are the announcers, yeszir?

[RedSoxRooter]

f***, and I can't see the game. This blows.

guess we were the bad luck.

[yeszir]

How bad are the announcers, yeszir?

What do you mean. I'm listening to it on the radio. Oh, its on FOX isnt it. I guess I'll stick with the radio.

[Sox fan in Tex]

Yep, what sucks even more is I don't even have the option to watch baseball right now. I have some home and garden crap on FOX and baseball won't start 'til 3 and I could care less about the Rangers. RedSoxRooter, I did have a little interest in watching the Cubs, are they on FOX as well, because I can't get them on MLB Extra Innings.

[Sox fan in Tex]

Sox leave 2 stranded as Ortiz strikes out.

[yeszir]

Dammit I hate A-Rod. Hate Hate Hate.

[Sox fan in Tex]

Men on 1st and 2nd...C'mon Olerud!

[Sox fan in Tex]

This is exactly what we need...to work up Pavano's pitch count. Torre said he didn't want to have to use Gordon or Rivera today, so just keep plugging away Boston batters.

[schillingouttheks]

Olerud's looking good so far....even though he just grounded out, he worked Pavano well. His first hit was cool too. Clement is a beast, all is well right now!

 

Oh! And down goes Cano! Hehe.

[schillingouttheks]

I also forgot to see Manny and Ortizs' ABs. How they doin so far?

 

And Jeter gets hit. Most likely an accident...Why would he want to put someone on right now? He's not a headhunter either...

[RedSoxRooter]

and Jeter goes down

[schillingouttheks]

Yeah, right below the armpit on his back. That looked like it hurt...bad.

 

Hey...Womack is pretty fast.

[schillingouttheks]

And Clement fans Matsui.

[yeszir]

Manny is soooooooooooooooooooooo good.

[RedSoxRooter]

sounds like the bats showed up today. I miss Joe and Jerry on the radio. They are so much better than the Fox announcers.

 

 

5-0

[Sizzlin22]

I'm stuck in New York it's better than listening to Mike Kay but they are so friggin dumb lookin good so far though.

[yeszir]

Ouch, Clement is shooting himself in the foot with that wild pitch and then that dropped double play ball.

[RedSoxRooter]

I guess Olerud is looking good. They say he could be 3-3 today but hit the pitcher.

[yeszir]

Welcome back Renteria. Thank you. :dance:

[RedSoxRooter]

I kept the faith. Go back and look - not a bad word about Rent. You bastards.

[Sizzlin22]

Welcome back Renteria. Thank you. :dance:

Welcome back? he's just arrived ladies and gentleman welcome Edgar Renteria.
