Not sure where riverside sluggers is today, dammit.

 

GO JOSH!! WIN AGAIN!!!!

[Jayhawk Bill]

Leadoff single by Ellsbury...Rasner hits Pedroia.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Called strike three to JD Drew was marginal--let's see if Boston pitchers get that call.

 

Called strike two to Manny was obviously a ball.

[BoSox21]

after Lowell pops out and Youkilis lines out, the Sox leave 'em loaded

[Jayhawk Bill]

Line out to Jeter to end the inning. Rasner was very, very lucky to escape without a run: three-fourths of the time, a line drive falls for a hit.

[riverside sluggers]

I was going on my game schedule magnet that said game time was 4:05. Didnt realize the game time had changed

[riverside sluggers]

Beckett's curse follows him, as the Sox bats have looked lost in just about every start of his

[Jayhawk Bill]

Schrieber is letting Beckett pitch outside to LHH. Let's see if the inside pitches a half-foot off the plate to RHH are called strikes, as well as the borderline low pitches in the zone, as Schrieber called for Rasner in the first inning.

[VA Sox Fan]

DAMMIT!!!!

[Jayhawk Bill]

Schrieber is giving Beckett a couple fewer inches inside than he gave Rasner.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Nice throw by Crisp.

 

3-0, Yankees.

[VA Sox Fan]

Some run support for Josh please!

[a700hitter]

It would be nice to win today's game. I don't have much confidence in masterson against the Yankee lefties tomorrow.

[a700hitter]

Okay, it is time for the top of our lineup to beat up Rasner.

[a700hitter]

Love that speed. Beautiful bunt hit by jacoby.

[yankeessuck013]

Get some runs here, please.

[yankeessuck013]

I'm stuck watching YES and I think Suzyn Waldman just broke my TV.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Damon used to hold onto those balls when he hit the wall in Fenway.

[ORS]

Wow, never seen that before.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Damn. A Yankees left fielder who's really got the range of a center fielder.

[a700hitter]

Have you ever seen a ball sit on the top of the wall like that and come back into the park? Damon gave up the body on that play. Maybe Girardi should not have inspired Damon so much. He is one of the yankees that did not need to be inspired to play hard.

appearing tonight at Scores.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Schieber is still giving Rasner the inside pitch to RHH that he's not giving to Beckett. I believe that Rasner has had more called strikes located outside the zone than he's had located inside the zone.

[yankeessuck013]

Ellsbury is amazing.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Zephyr, god of wind, is on Boston's side today. Foul ball by Giambi.

 

If only Schrieber, demi-god of home plate, were as friendly to our Red Sox...

f***ING Lugo, god what a waste. He always has at least one "memorable" moment each game that is played

 

 

 

 

 

Beckett this season on the road in 9 games, 3-4 with a 3.19 ERA. 2 games vs New York, 2-0 with a 3.68 ERA. At Yankee Stadium in 1 game, 1-0 with a 3.38 ERA

 

Rasner this season at home in 4 games, 3-1 with a 2.08 ERA

 

My schedule shows it was originally scheduled for 7:05 but they changed it about a month or so ago.

 

No biggie. Hopefully we'll still win, but if not, it's your fault....

[VA Sox Fan]

I'm stuck watching YES and I think Suzyn Waldman just broke my TV.

 

MLB extra innings is also showing the YES broadcast but I've got Michael Gay, Al Leiter and some African American gentleman I'm not familiar with. No Waldman...whooo....hoooooo!!!!!!! :thumbsup:

 

 

And on XM it's ESPN's broadcast.

[a700hitter]

Ellsbury is a tremendous athletic talent.

[a700hitter]

Is Beckett getting squeezed?
