Mets up 2-1 through 6 vs Nazi Party. How great would it be if they actually pulled off the sweep?

Wonderful, but it's hard to imagine that they'll let the Sox sweep them having lost 5 straight coming in.

Let's give away some outs why don't we.

[BornToRun]

Felt like that might be coming. Good to see.

[Thunder]

Hey Gomes got a hit! A pinch hit HR nonetheless.

Am i dreaming? Gomes actually hit a lefty?

[Thunder]

Get some run support for the pen. Funny how we might win the two games that Clay got scratched.

Looks like rabbit mojo is pretty good.

I used to think that a team who lost a lot of games in a row before facing us was due for a couple but we have the advantage in this series and due or not due, the team that plays best tends to win and we're playing better than they are right now and if we continue to do so, we'll have no problem taking care of business in that bucket of diarrhea they call a stadium.

[Station 13]

More runs. We need the pen fresh for the MFY series.

[BornToRun]

Goddamn, Ells. Not bad.

True.

Friday: Lester vs CC Advantage Sox

Saturday: Doubront vs Hughes Advantage Sox

Sunday: Buchholz vs Kuroda Advantage Sox

It would have been nicer if Iglesias was still on base but I'll obviously still take it.

 

Was Morales on a set pitch count or was this something to try and switch up the offense?

[BornToRun]

He smoked that one right at him.

[Standing Room]

Great sign from Jonny Gomes, glad we didn't burn an extra outfielder on the double switch this time. Still pissed at Iglesias for getting thrown out ahead of the pinch hitter.

[Palodios]

True.

Friday: Lester vs CC Advantage Sox

Saturday: Doubront vs Hughes Advantage Sox

Sunday: Buchholz vs Kuroda Advantage Sox

 

What? These are all very even matchups:lol:

Farrell said he expected him to go 5 and 80. He went 5 and 79.

[italstallianion]

I wouldn't be too quick to give us the advantage in all of those. Doubront hasn't been too reliable, Kuroda has been exceptionally well for them, and I feel like CC can always do well, especially given the way we have (or haven't) hit lefties, especially ones that can pitch.

[Thunder]

Thought Pedey hit that over his head..

[Bellhorn04]

Ellsbury seems to be getting his game back. He's starting to show signs of a guy who's got a big payday riding on the rest of this season.

[italstallianion]

That makes sense, otherwise I wouldn't have understood the pinch hitter with nobody on and two outs, but if you're going to pull the pitcher anyway it works, and it did here.

[Thunder]

I have good feeling about this. Sabathia is inconsistent against the Sox, Hughes sucks, and Kuroda is going against Clay.

Better late than never, we can def use him.

Sabathia's been pretty meh this year and I think Buchholz is better than Kuroda. I'd call Saturday a wash.

[User Name]

Don't ever underestimate the Yankees.

[Thunder]

Ells has 3 SB's left to tie the all time record for a game, set by George Gore in 1881 and Billy Hamilton in 1894.

[mvp 78]

Don't ever underestimate the Yankees.

 

What? It's not an automatic sweep since we think our SP's are better?

15-13 in 12 innings, neither starter gets out of the second.

 

In all seriousness though, Doubront has showed signs of life recently. Hughes wasn't bad in his last start against the Mets, but a few starts before that, he gave up 5 runs in the first to the poor Mariners offense.
