April 22 vs. New York - Back to Back to Back to Back

[riverside sluggers]

Fair enough indeed. I learned the same when I was a new poster almost 2 years ago now, didnt realize you havent read the beginning of any game threads. The best mojo thats gone on has been RedSoxRooter mojo! He started all threads during the Sox's 12 game winning streak against the NL last June

I remember that...remarkable. He should start the first interleague game thread this year.

[jacksonianmarch]

I have no expectation of victory tonight. I just hope we can hit DMats around a little and we give the pen a bit of rest.

[Optimist]

I see Matsuzaka striking out somewhere between 10 and 15. Would not shock me one bit.

[riverside sluggers]

Joe Morgan quotes and the game hasnt even started yet. Joe was asked about the pitching matchups. After Morgan did his take on Matsuzaka, he was asked about Chase Wright... but he continued talking about Matsuzaka and how he had wanted to go to the Yankees

Joe Morgan is an idiot. I remember distinctly Mat saying he was relived that he wasn't going to the Yankees win the Red Sox won the bidding.

I thought I saw on Espn that Crisp was starting. Maybe I saw wrong, I would ride Crisp right now, he finally has his swing going. Why the hell take him out of the lineup now?

[Gom]

What do you think the odds are the Yankees knock out Matsuzaka in the first inning?

 

Hey, I can dream, can't I?

[jacksonianmarch]

Posada not in the lineup again. Sigh. And Minky in again? Has Torre seen what Minky looks like at the dish? He looks like a blind monkey swinging at flies.

[Gom]

I think Posada is hurt.

[riverside sluggers]

figures just when he was starting to heat up at the plate...

 

rotoworld

Coco Crisp was scratched from Sunday night's lineup against the Yankees because of minor oblique tightness.

 

Just as he had started to warm up at the plate. Wily Mo Pena is playing center field in his place.

I saw it too. Musta been a mistake or late change.

 

EDIT: Thanks Riverside. At least this gives WMP some at bats. He should do damage against the young lefty.

 

I think Posada is hurt.

 

He is indeed.

I think if they're going to knock him out it will be in the 1st. He has tended to start slowly and look at his best in the 5th, 6th and 7th inning.

Hasn't he looked pretty good in the first inning so far this year? Don't think he's allowed a run yet.

[Cocos Disciples]

Jon Miller says nothing matters more to each of the teams than winning this game.

 

This game. This game in April. Okay, Jon Miller.

[jacksonianmarch]

I think Posada is hurt.

 

he has a bruise on his thumb. He was okay enough to hit. He should be in this game.

[Cocos Disciples]

If he's needed, you can bet he'll pinch hit.

Does Jon Miller know that the Scranton Yankees are playing tonight? Maybe Trenton? Cmon now. ESPN should have switched the game lineup once they saw Chase starting.

He should be DHing with Giambi at 1st. Having Minky and Nieves in the lineup adds a hugh black hole. Good thing is, soon, Joe might realize that Phelps should be starting and Matsui and Posada will be back.

[example1]

I'm psyched about this game. Let's get it on!!! (the game that is, I wasn't talking to you jacksonian! )

[jacksonianmarch]

I am excited to see how this kid performs vs the sox. Chase should be interesting to see.

 

Like I said before, DiceK will dominate tonight. Unless Chase matches him zero for zero, this one will be over soon.

[example1]

Yes, Joe. It is the pause in his delivery that is the magic, yet, shockingly, most pitchers don't do it

[jacksonianmarch]

Joe Morgan is a douche. All that matters is his out pitches? WRONG. Showme pitches can be just as important as out pitches especially if the showme pitch is in the hitters head.

[jacksonianmarch]

I really dont like this tandem. They suck.

[jacksonianmarch]

I dont think that was the slider Joe. That was more of a cutter. 92mph slider is not likely for a guy who sits 92-95 with a fastball.

[jacksonianmarch]

he usually hits 20-25 homers? In what season? Seriously these guys blow. Jeter is good for 10-15 every yr. Anything more is gravy.

[example1]

Interesting to see Tavarez basically saying "throw it inside and his hands will shake"! I hope Dice was listening.

 

OH NASTY CHANGEUP!

 

"That was something different" it's a change up guys

anything more is roids.

 

I kid. I like Jeter.

[jacksonianmarch]

That doesnt look like a slider.
