[ORS]

Paps gets the GAS past Vladdy. K

[riverside sluggers]

Paps struck out Vlad!! plus damn that pitch inside he has been doing to other batters, he could be our next "Pedro" going inside to get the batters mixed up at the plate

[ORS]

Pitchout, got Erstad stealing. 2 CS for Tek today.

[riverside sluggers]

he was signed a one season contract last december, i remember reading the story last fall

[riverside sluggers]

i think it had a club option for 2006

[yankeessuck013]

yeah probably, they defiinetely will pick up his option though.

[riverside sluggers]

ok can we at least get 1 run this inning?

[ORS]

No.

[riverside sluggers]

nope, 1-2-3 for 3rd straight inning--11 in a row retired by Byrd

[yankeessuck013]

what the f*** is up with our Offense

 

byrd has retired 11 in a row, and 1-2-3 inning there in 8 pitches

[yankeessuck013]

white sox just won 6-2!

 

lets win this game boys and go up 4 in the division!!!!

[ORS]

Great play by Billy Baseball.

[yankeessuck013]

does pap have 1 more inning in him?

[riverside sluggers]

i think he'll at least make the 6th, just 85 pitches---haha when pitching and defesens are bad for us, the offense clicks--papelbon has pitched 5 shutout 3 hit innings, with web gem type defense behind him, no offense

[riverside sluggers]

12 in a row

[riverside sluggers]

13 in a row

[riverside sluggers]

nice hustling to the bag ortiz, 14 in a row...

[yankeessuck013]

14 in a row by byrd

[yankeessuck013]

leadoff man on

[mosox]

Wow, Papelbon has a good split.

[yankeessuck013]

another very good outing by paps against a dangerous lineup

[riverside sluggers]

excellent job Paps, Now in his first 16 innings has allowed 5 runs. cmon bullpen dont f***in crumble!!!

[ORS]

If Myers doesn't get Kotchman out, Tito better pull him for Rivera.

[mosox]

I don't like this move. Tito should have left Papelbon in the game. He made a bad 0-2 pitch to Molina, but he's still got good stuff. Myers could destroy this good game.

atta boy myers

[yankeessuck013]

5.2 Ip, 0 R

[ORS]

I think Paps is still on a leash as far as pitch count goes.

[yankeessuck013]

a shame we couldnt get more runs for him....i mean ANY runs

[mosox]

I think Paps is still on a leash as far as pitch count goes.

 

With this bullpen I don't see how the coaching staff can be keeping a strict pitch count on the starters. Paps in obviously a strong kid, both physically and mentally. Two weeks ago he was in Pawtucket working to be a reliever. He's done everythign they've asked of him, which is alot more than some of the vets in the pen.
