8/28@ New York - Sweep their pride.

[Thumper]

It's about 15 minutes to game time and Rdsxmbnt hasn't posted...

 

 

Sooo...

 

Jon Lester, LHP (12-5, 3.49) vs. Mike Mussina, RHP (16-7, 3.45)

 

Scouting Report:

Red Sox: Lester was hammered by the Blue Jays in his last start. The left-hander allowed seven runs on eight hits in just 2 1/3 innings, the shortest outing of his career as a starter. In addition, the seven runs he gave up tied a career high, which he set on Aug. 18, 2006, against the Yankees. Lester will look to rebound from the tough outing when he takes the mound at Yankee Stadium, in what could be Boston's final game at the historic venue. In three career starts against New York, Lester is 2-0 with a 4.12 ERA.

 

Yankees: Mussina had his best outing of the season against Baltimore in his last start. After going just two-thirds of an inning and then five innings in his two previous starts, Mussina was able to toss six innings allowing just four runs. He finished with a no-decision but was happy with his performance. In a pivotal series with the Red Sox, the Yankees will be hoping that Mussina can display the same dominance he showed in his last start against Boston, when he threw six innings and allowed four hits and no earned runs in a 2-1 victory.

 

 

Go.

 

 

Edit: Mojo to secure the win...

Remember when that new guy came when we were playing (Texas?) and took my gamethread?

 

Yeah.... We won big that night. So I'm not worried.

[RedSoxRooter]

Thank you. Someone needs to teach this punk Rdsxmbnt a lesson.

 

GO SOX! SWEEEEEEEEEEEEP

[TheKilo]

Thumper, you've stolen GT mojo on multiple occasions.

[Thumper]

Thumper' date=' you've stolen GT mojo on multiple occasions.[/quote']

 

This is the second time.

 

And there was like 10 minutes until game time and Rdsxmbnt isn't even on. I didn't steal it. If I recall correctly, if it's close to gametime and the person doing the thread isn't on, someone can take over. I believe it was you or CD who had told me this.

[riverside sluggers]

Guess Ill just post it in this thread as well. The Yankees sent down Dave Robertson and called up Alfredo Aceves. He's wearing #91, honoring Dennis Rodman...

You guys are retarded. The Yanks are a sinking ship. Babe Ruth himself could have started this gamethread and it wouldn't have made a bit of difference. The Sox will win this game and that's all there is to it. I've never been this confident going into a game before.

That's right. Win or lose today there is no saving their sinking ship.

Cody Ransom. Enough said.

[Cocos Disciples]

He gone.

[riverside sluggers]

Damn those boos are getting louder

[Thumper]

A-Rod gets boos today.

[HeadOfSoxNation]

Good first Sox AB for Kotsay.

[Cocos Disciples]

Welcome, Kotsay.

[Thumper]

Welcome to the Red Sox, Kotsay.

[Cocos Disciples]

Jesus f***, Ransom is hitting 1.000/2/5???

[Thumper]

The YES men are getting hard over Ransom's 1.000 BA (in 2 at bats that where HRs).

[Cocos Disciples]

Ha, didn't realize he had 2 AB's.

[Cocos Disciples]

42 pitches in 2 innings, unfortunate.

[a700hitter]

Lester's pitch count is high. It's about time that the Red Sox make Moose pay for tossing his garbage to the plate.

[VA Sox Fan]

I'm at work, can't get a signal on my XM....keeping track on ESPN.com....any immediate updates will be greatly appreciated!!!!

[Thumper]

Wow Ellsbury...

1-2-3 for Moose as we head to the bottom of the 3rd

[riverside sluggers]

The lineup will get stronger when Cora starts getting regular playing time. He's lost a step defensively and finds himself in an 0 for 12 stretch

[VA Sox Fan]

Thanks! Hate The Mousse

 

Go Lester!

[Cocos Disciples]

Awesome, 2 down.

[riverside sluggers]

great managing move gets Jeter thrown out
