Spe/ling Error Mojo!!

[Optimist]

I'm not hoping for a sweep, just for the Yankees to win 3/4.

[Anuj09]

[a700hitter]

I'm not hoping for a sweep' date=' just for the Yankees to win 3/4.[/quote']I'm hoping that Jeter's dildo falls out of his ass as he is running to first base.

[Anuj09]

....yankees suck yankees suck yankees suck ..and JETER SWALLOWS

[RedSoxRooter]

haha. But the Sox can't let the Yanks win 3... I'm hoping for a series split.

[DrewDaGreat]

Let's go Sox!

[BoSox34]

I hope the Yankees can put another 4 game sweep on us.

Wurks evury time!

[a700hitter]

I hope the Yankees can put another 4 game sweep on us.

Although this would make me wretch and vomit for the next two days, the upside is that it would throw the huliation of 9 losses in a row to the Yankees would throw the FO into crises mode. By next spring we'd have all sorts of new studs on the team as the FO would likely loosen the purse strings to turn things around. They can't afford to go into 2007 with a team that the Yankees can mop up like this.

[Anuj09]

Bossox34 clearly your real optimistic

Exactly.

[a700hitter]

I'd prefer a split so we don't have to watch them celebrate, but if we get annihilated in embarrassing fashion in the other two games it could be just as motivational for the FO.

[Anuj09]

hmmm i take that back but i still want to win cuz motha f***in twins fans here in MN are always bashing on the Sox and seem to love the yanks for some reason

[Cocos Disciples]

I am rooting for a sweep of course, but a sweep will not put us back in the playoff picture. But, nonetheless, go Sox.

[Anuj09]

does anyone have the lineups ?

No Coco, no Youk

By Amalie Benjamin, Globe Staff

Welcome back to Yankee Stadium. It's a little less rainy out there today. (Or completely sunny.) Perfect for a doubleheader.

 

Terry Francona said this morning that he is unlikely to play anyone in all four of the games today and tomorrow, which explains Kevin Youkilis' place on the bench this afternoon. He'll likely play all three of the other games in this series.

 

David Murphy gets the start for Coco Crisp in centerfield with Crisp still having trouble with his finger. Murphy, Francona said, might get a little baptism by fire this weekend in Yankee Stadium.

 

The second starter for tomorrow night's ESPN game remains undetermined, though Francona said he would try to stay away from Kevin Jarvis if he could in today's game, which would give him more flexibility for tomorrow. If they can't do that, they might have to go to Plan B. Which, at this point, they don't have.

 

Amusing scene in the clubhouse before the game. Wily Mo Pena was searching through Carlos Pena's locker in the visiting locker room, looking for his missing uniform pants. Couldn't find them. Finally Wily Mo gave up, slumping back on a clubhouse couch to rest. Except, suddenly, he looked up, made Carlos turn around and check the waistband on the pants he was wearing.

 

There they were. Oops.

 

And, with that, the lineups...

2. Pedroia 2b

3. Ortiz dh

4. Wily Mo lf

5. Youk 3b

6. Tek c

7. Pena 1b
