July 3rd @ Tampa Bay

[Youk Of The Nation]

OBP! OBP!

[db41]

99 pitches and a four pitch walk to Youk. TAKE HIM OUT!

[a700hitter]

I hated that last at-bat in the 7th' date=' I think Josh Paul, the guy who walked. He throws 2 strikes, then promptly gets the hitter back in the at bat by throwing 3 s***** pitches that a dyslexic monkey would not have swung at, then walks him.[/quote']Please, we refer to them as specially abled.

[db41]

Nice patient at bat there by Loretta, damn.

[Cocos Disciples]

That really was not the point.

[a700hitter]

You can't touch this vkid tonight.

[BoSox21]

man, give it up for Kazmir tonight. its just good baseball

[yeszir]

The Red Sox need to trade for Kazmir and then just plop him on the bench for the rest of the season. Anything to keep him from beating us.

[RedSoxRooter]

Hard not to like Kazmir.

[riverside sluggers]

106 pitches

 

Kazmir about to throw 1 hitter complete game shutout

 

Manny, Varitek and Lowell are a combined 9 for 52 (.175 avg) Double, 2 HRs, 3 RBIs, 6 Walks, 15 Ks

[a700hitter]

Here's the lefty submariner.

Hard not to like Kazmir.

He's pitched against us so much, you might say we've taught him how to pitch.

[a700hitter]

Good job by Lopez...not.

[jsinger121]

How about Tek lay off Kazmir's slider for once.

[db41]

How about Tek lay off Kazmir's slider for once.

Especially with a 2-1 count and the tying run on deck?

[riverside sluggers]

i do have big respect for kazmir, but at same time I see Sox not being able to put themselves another game above the Yankees. Which comes at a rarity, the Sox had a 12 game win streak but only advanced 3.5 games

 

Sox will get Fossum next who is also starting to be another tough lefty on the Sox. Hopefully Schilling wont be the 2nd tough luck loser of this series

[BoSox21]

we'll have our day, tonight I'll just say I'm happy for Kazmir cause that was a hell of a performance

[Optimist]

Don't worry everyone, the Yankees are doing their part. They fell behind one run in Cleveland and decided to roll over.

[Yolo-Golo-Va]

Well at least Cleveland is up for now. That Kazmir is somethin else

[a700hitter]

Especially with a 2-1 count and the tying run on deck?

Kazmir had tek's # tonight. Did he make any contact at all. I don't remember much in the way of foul balls.

[riverside sluggers]

Sox have been shut out twice now this season

 

They are the last team in all of the majors to not throw a shutout of their own. They had 6 at this point last season

Kazmir was awesome. He showed two cracks tonight, the at bat by Loretta in the 8th was horse manure and Tek's in the 9th was chicken manure. At that point you need baserunners and, unless you've got two strikes, you gotta be patient.

It's very difficult to be patient when you can't recognize the slider out of his hand. If you let him get to two strikes, he'll put you away with the slider. The only chance they had was trying to get a hittable pitch early in the count.

[a700hitter]

Tek managed 4 foul balls while striking out four times.

I agree with that approach EXCEPT for those two at bats. Loretta followed a four pitch walk to Youk by offering at two pitches out of the strikezone. Tek, well, Tek was out before he stepped in the box.

[BoSox21]

Yankees are 3 outs away from going down so it might not be that bad of a loss

[exsubmariner]

Check your stats again when the sox started their 12 game win streak they were one game behind the yankees. 2 weeks later they were 4 up, thats a 5 game swing.

[Cocos Disciples]

1 out, runners at 1st and 2nd, in Cleveland, Posada up.

[a700hitter]

Wickman looks like he is going to s*** the bed.

 

Edit: There is something wrong with his back leg on the follow thru. He looks gimpy.

[a700hitter]

The good news tonight is that the Yankees have been shut down by a rookie for his first ML win.

 

Thuuuuhhhhh Yankees lose! Thuuuhhhh Yankees lose!
