Lately its occurred to me and probaly everyone else that the Yankees are a very good baseball team. They have been playing bad teams but at the same time they are just better, I have no doubt unfortunately that the Yankees are right there with the Red Sox as the two best teams in baseball. At the moment I don't think we can rely on other team's help for winning this division. We need to play good baseball. We need to stay consistent. We need to keep winning games. Something this team is very capable, tell Josh Beckett, Dicek Matsuzaka and Curt Schilling that this team can't win a World Series and you'd get laughed at. I wouldn't spend as much time here and on forums and watching games if I didn't believe this team didn't have a very good chance to possibly win a World Series.

 

No mojo again today, we dont need it, we are a dam good baseball team. just win.

WIN DAMMIT!!!!!

Jesus Julio!

[riverside sluggers]

Sox's negative theme of the season is "lets strand runners!"

 

Great job Lugo wouldve been an inning ending double play but now its men on 2nd & 3rd with 1 out

[ANiMAL]

I hate MASN announcers. Both Friday and Today they've been complaining about balls, strikes, and check swings. They just said that a check swing that clearly went through the zone was a bad call because it was called that he did indeed go through the zone.

They do suck. Thank Gawd NESN will be back tomorrow!

 

Damn Mora.

[riverside sluggers]

Thats what Im f***ing talking about Manny!

 

Manny says excuse me to Lowell as he takes over the lead in RBIs for the team. He is also now 6th all time in RBIs (790) by a Red Sox, passing Jimmie Foxx

 

EDIT: And now he gets himself thrown out, youre not Kenny Lofton

[VA Sox Fan]

Manny?!?!

[CrespoBlows]

That's only funny when Manny is hitting 40 HR's a year.

[riverside sluggers]

And that wouldve been 3-1 possibly

[VA Sox Fan]

Atta boy JD, 2-2

[BoSox21]

yea, I'd definitely say this is the worst Sox team as far as baserunning goes that ive seen in a few years

[ORS]

Manny giveth, Manny taketh away.

[VA Sox Fan]

Can Mora get a minor injury to take him out of this game please?

[Youk Of The Nation]

Dont look now, but JD Drew is batting .263

[Youk Of The Nation]

3-1! Lugo making up for the run he created.

[VA Sox Fan]

Redemption for Julio! Nice 2B by Tek as well....

[riverside sluggers]

Damn Lugo, he's been on a very good pace since the all-star break

[Gom]

Dammit.

[VA Sox Fan]

Good job Schilling. Looking good today!

[Youk Of The Nation]

Why isn't Payton batting 8th and Bako 9th? Paul Bako hasn't had a meaningful RBI since like 2001.

[VA Sox Fan]

Thank you Jay. Enjoying the O's pop ups today. Not enjoying ours, of course.

[riverside sluggers]

Last 3 outs by the O's were made on 3 consecutive pitches, pathetic but Ill take it gladly

[Youk Of The Nation]

Hinske is going deep. Calling it.

[jacksonianmarch]

Dammit.

 

open mouth, insert foot. Schilling isnt dominant per se, but he is outsmarting the O's all game long.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Barry Zito got the worst contract in the history of sports. How the f*** did this guy get a record pitching contract again?

I laugh at the posters who were clamoring to sign Zito instead of Matsuzaka

[ORS]

Epic AB from Tek.
