2-1 on the sacrifice fly, men on 1st and 3rd, 2 outs

bases jacked on 1 out

considering hendrickson faced 6 batters, 3 hits just the 1 run is good---- 1-2-3 for Leiter on just 12 pitches

know it doesnt mean much haha, but on 2 outs in the 9th inning catcher for Royals, Philips who has only been hitting .167 this season hit a grand slam, 11-5

Giambi flies out to deep center, 3 hits but just 1 run

who knows, the ump at home plate might give him a big strike zone today

cano flies out to left, 1 out now sheff...

Jeter singles to start off the game

11-1 going into 9th inning when Kansas City tries to even get 1 run

thats actually quotes from carl crawford from last night after the walkoff win

not the white sox since they have the 12 1/2 game lead, something like that--besides Angels, it is by far pivotal series for the Red Sox and Yankees

dont remember we get to face K-Rod in his finest days *knock on wood*

its cool, yankees game thread is done--lets go rays, leiter is up on the mound today

ok guys, a game Sox need after their late inning rally was ended in the 5th double play of the game. Hendrickson squares off vs. Yankees New York (65-53) at Tampa Bay (47-73), 7:15 p.m. ET After beating the Yankees, 4-3, in 11 innings Tuesday, the Devil Rays will try to take the final game in the series at Tropicana Field on Wednesday at 7:15 p.m. ET. The Rays won on a walk for the first time since 2000. It came on four pitches to Jonny Gomes after the Yankees' Scott Proctor loaded the bases. Eduardo Perez hit two home runs earlier in the night. He now has four career dingers against Yankees' left-hander Randy Johnson in just 25 at-bats. Mark Hendrickson will start for the Devil Rays on Wednesday. The left-hander allowed 12 hits and four runs in his last outing on Aug. 12, but the Rays still managed to beat Cleveland, 8-6. Hendrickson has picked up wins in each of his last three starts, despite accumulating just five strikeouts over that span. Left-hander Al Leiter will start for the Yankees. He pitched five innings and gave up three earned runs on seven hits while striking out seven as the Yankees beat Texas, 6-5, on Aug. 12. Pitching matchup NYY: LHP Al Leiter • 3-3, 4.80 ERA in 2005 • 1-0, 6.35 ERA vs. TB in 2005 TB: LHP Mark Hendrickson • 7-7, 6.77 ERA in 2005 • 2-0, 3.60 ERA vs. NYY in 2005 Players to watch Jorge Cantu and Damon Hollins both have gone deep against Leiter this season. Quick hits The Rays have won eight of 12 games against the Yankees this season. ... Alex Gonzalez had his second multi-error game of the season Tuesday. He had three errors against Boston on July 20. ... Tuesday's starter, Doug Waechter, was the first Devil Ray to pitch a complete game since Rob Bell on Oct. 1, 2004 ... Julio Lugo did not play Tuesday because of a sore left hand but is expected to return to the lineup Wednesday. ... The Rays improved to 2-67 when trailing after eight innings

um who said I was saying this to anybody? thought people would realize its yankee fans on yes board

even though im glad he got the hit, i was thinking if anything have manny pinch hit for him--but oh well on to another game, which is tonight's yanks/tampa bay game. Ill get started on the thread

true but his 1st inning dug the sox deep

Wells' 34 pitch 1st inning and the 5 double plays killed it

Mark Hendrickson's last game againt NY was a win, 7.1 innings, 7 hits, 2 runs
