Sam Borden writes that the Yankees "were glassy-eyed last night at Fenway Park." http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/extra_bases/10.1_newsday.jpg Go Sox....Both Red and White!

just came across this.... The Herald: "Sox starter Tim Wakefield has enjoyed a much bigger edge pitching in the daytime than Johnson has. "I don't know why it's harder to hit him in the day. It may be because it's darker behind his head at night, but I know it's harder to catch him,'' Sox catcher Doug Mirabelli said of Wakefield." Tim Wakefield Home: 3.67 Away: 4.23 Day: 2.15 Night: 4.82 R. Johnson Home: 3.13 Away: 4.71 Day: 4.31 Night: 3.50

I thought the K-Zone was wider for both teams not just the sox. there were several pitches out of the zone and low that they called for wang. the strikeout on AROD was probably a little bit inside but my god this is the series for the division swing the bat "MVP. " The Yankee fans are just totally blind to see that Wang was getting similar calls so they need to blame the homeplate ump because their team couldnt get it done.

Yankees have Hired Knuckler Joe Ausanio to throw batting practice......

Game Info Date: Saturday, October 1st, 2005 First Pitch: 1:20 pm ET TV: FOX Starting Pitchers: http://i.a.cnn.net/si/images/baseball/mlb/players/4288.jpghttp://bellsouthpwp.net/c/h/chinigor/TALKSOX/VS.GIFhttp://i.a.cnn.net/si/images/baseball/mlb/players/4906.jpg http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/mlb/images/team_logos/50x50/nyy.gif #41 Randy Johnson (16-8, 3.79) http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/mlb/images/team_logos/50x50/bos.gif #49 Tim Wakefield (16-11, 3.96) Wakefield looks to knuckle down New York (94-66) at Boston (94-66), 1:20 p.m. ET With two games left in the regular season, the Red Sox are basically back where they started when they left Spring Training. They are tied with the Yankees, their opponent for these next two days. "New season," said Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz. "[On Saturday,] you have to come out and play the same way. You never know between these two teams. These two teams have a lot of history, but history has been changing lately. It's not what happened in the past, it's what's happening now." Saturday afternoon's pitching matchup is a beauty, as Tim Wakefield goes for the Red Sox and Randy Johnson takes the ball for the Yankees. Both pitchers have been their team's best down the stretch. After getting off to a good start in this crucial series by downing the Yankees, 5-3, in the opener, the Sox have no intention of taking their foot off the accelerator. They know full well how dangerous the Yankees are. "We feel like we have to win every game," said Red Sox center fielder Johnny Damon. "We know if we don't, we may have to play in New York again. We have so many important games. It was a must win [Friday]. It's a must win for both teams [saturday]. We have to keep our hopes alive. Both teams have worked very hard all season. Now we're down to the point in the season where one could be in and one could not be in." And there's still a chance, after all this, that both teams could be in. The Guardians lost Friday night, putting them a game behind Boston and New York in the Wild Card standings. Last time the Red Sox faced the Big Unit, he had his A-game. That was in the Bronx on Sept. 11, when the Yankees downed Wakefield and the Sox in a 1-0 epic. "Get prepared; you're going to face a tough guy," said Ortiz. "This game, you never know what's going to happen. I haven't had a lot of success against Randy, but I've had some good at-bats." The Yankees badly want to erase the taste of squandering a 3-0 lead against the Red Sox in last year's American League Championship Series. Boston has no interest in allowing the New York to exact such revenge, particularly at Fenway Park. "They're hungry. They're hungry to get what we have," Damon said. "We've been fighting real hard this season."

David Ortiz

How does everyone think wake will be pitching on only 3 days rest?

so I guess we can blame all of renteria's errors on our "bad infield"?
