riverside sluggers

wake has been the ace for month of August thus far 3-0 with a 3.32 ERA, 23 Ks, just one walk

papi papi papi

just showed him chest up, funniest thing--he's gonna get a night in jail and be fined like 5 grand

remy needs a glass of water

always crazy times, laughin my ass off here

ooh man edgar never would throw that kind of ball to 1st base, ahah that was way off

niice play tek, captain for so many reasons---big f***ing phew of bronson getting out yet another situation, bases loaded with 1 out

ahhh roberto

bronson got out with a man on 3rd, but has had to throw 47 pitches in first 2 innings thus far

alright cora 2nd homerun with the sox in the past 12 games, not judgin at all by terry putting him in instead of tony g

there is a yankees/d-rays theread in the game thread section

twins could probably go for him in the offseason again, this time with him as DH--besides sox owe big time to youk after what 2005 has been for him so far

they both never faced them before--giving tony a day off i guess, good news nesn just said olerud will be back in a day or two with the sox

Rocco Baldelli anyone?

today's lineup has no tony g and kevin millar 1) Johnny Damon cf 2) Edgar Renterria ss 3) David Ortiz dh 4) Manny Ramirez lf 5) Jason Varitek c 6) Roberto Petagine 1b 7) Bill Mueller 3b 8) Alex Cora 2b 9) Gabe Kapler rf

okkk in last 10 games Kevin has had 2 RBIs with 6 Runs scored, Edgar has had 9 RBIs with 12 Runs scored

no i think our f***ing argument is he talking to the media every chance he gan get, and has been in another hitting slump as of right now, his last game he went 0 for 4, inducing 3 popups including men on base

hey ill take this in 2006: 1st base- Paul Konerko 2nd base- Tony Graffanino 3rd base- Kevin Youkilis Shortstop- yes guybo, Edgar Renterria

yeah Edgar is leading him in batting avg, HRs, RBIs, Runs scored, and has 8 stolen bases out of 10 tries comparing to kevin's one failed attempt at a SB Edgar- RISP .279 batting average (34 for 122) 2 HRs, 5 Doubles, 38 RBIs, 18 Walks, 16 Ks, 2 SBs Bases Loaded .438 batting average (7 for 16) Double, Grand Slam, 17 RBIs, Walk, K Kevin- RISP .255 batting average (24 for 94) 4 Doubles, Triple, HR, 35 RBIs, 14 Walks, 11 Ks Bases Loaded .400 batting average (4 for 15) Double, 11 RBIs, K

in defense and catching yes he has--but not offense look at the stats i showed, just 206 avg

?? watch he's gonna put as his reasons that millar can talk to the media, and has less errors

Jaret Wight had started the game that yankees were able to score 13 runs in the 2nd inning of an April game against Tampa Bay, he would need that run support lasting just 5.1 innings giving up 11 hits, 8 runs pitcher vs batter matchups: Jaret Wright vs: (career against Tampa Bay in 5 games a 3-1 record with a 5.13 ERA) Jorge Cantu, 2 for 3 (.667 avg) K Carl Crawford, 3 for 4 (.750 avg) RBI Alex Gonzalez, 0 for 7, 3 Walks, 3 Ks Nick Green, 0 for 3, 2 Ks Toby Hall, 2 for 2 (1.000 avg) Walk Aubrey Huff, 1 for 3 (.333 avg) HR, 3 RBIs, K Travis Lee, 0 for 2, Walk Julio Lugo, 2 for 3 (.667 avg) Double, 2 RBIs Casey Fossum vs: (career against Yankees in 14 games a 4-3 record with a 5.15 ERA) Robinson Cano, 1 for 4 (.250 avg) John Flaherty, 0 for 3, K Jason Giambi, 7 for 19 (.368 avg) Double, 3 RBIs, 3 Walks, 3 Ks Derek Jeter, 4 for 17 (.235 avg) Double, HR, 2 RBIs, 4 Ks Tino Martinez, 1 for 1 (1.000 avg) HR, RBI Hideki Matsui, 3 for 8 (.375 avg) Double, RBI, 2 Walks, K Jorge Posada, 6 for 19 (.316 avg) Double, HR, 5 RBIs, Walk, 4 Ks Alex Rodriguez, 5 for 15 (.333 avg) Double, 2 HRs, 2 RBIs, 6 Ks Gary Sheffield, 1 for 6 (.167 avg) Walk, K Bernie Williams, 4 for 15 (.267 avg) HR, RBI, 4 Walks, 2 Ks Tony Womack, 2 for 7 (.286 avg) 2 Ks

but yet he bashes on edgar

more impressive is that the 2 games Casey Fossum faced Ny in 2005, he held them to just a .172 batting average
