He looks like he is getting kicked in the balls.

Thuuuuh Yankees Loooose!!! Thuuuuh Yankees Loooose!!!

Has Maroth been confirmed as the Tigers starter on Wednesday? Some sites are not listing a starter for Detroit. I was wondering if he had been scratched.

It depends if he bruised his vagina.

He'll probably miss only a month.

Coco is shaking his hand. He must have hit it off the end of the bat.

Nady might be a worse OF than WMP. He's a complete horror show in the field.

Time for Dice K to dial it up a notch, because Nate Robertson is always tough on the BoSox.

I think Lugo beat the throw to first even if they don't make the error.

Steve Phillips is an ass. I remember him predicting that Sosa would hit 50 + HRs for the Orioles a couple of years ago.

For once, I am in full agreement with Mr. Blows and Example 1. If the kid gets whacked around a bit, I would hope a 22 year old would have enough maturity not to be crushed emotionally.

The Yankees are far from dead. I could see them gettig to the playoffs. It's a long haul and they are stacked with talent. However, getting to the playoffs may not be the best thing for Yankee fans. Although they are built to make the playoffs, right now they are not built to win the playoffs. If they make the playoffs after this slow start and get knocked out in the first or second round, Torre is likely to be rehired and Cashman will remain too. This may not be a very god long term plan.

Thuuuuh Yankees Loooose!!! Thuuuuh Yankees Loooose!!! Edit: 8 games ahead. Let's keep adding to the lead!

Putz just blew away those guys in the 9th.

2004 was a very high-priced talented team that was expected to win, but they did it in an impossible fashion. After dropping the first three to the Yankees, the entire history of the game and the rivalry indicated that we were dead and buried. The team rose from the dead and charged to the championship. The 1967 team was not expected to finish in the top half of the league (back than that was called the "upper division"). They had been an awful team for many years, finishing last or next to last several years in a row. The season unfolded slowly. The early successes were thrilling and completely unexpected. The team was a bunch of kids led by a few veterans. The excitement built day after day as we watched these two superstars named Yaz and Lonborg blossoming. There was the horror in August of Tony C's beaning, but nothing stopped that team and the fans were going wild. A pennant race was like having sex after being in solitary confinement for decades. It was a total thrill and a new experience for most everyone in New England. Yaz was unreal in September. He carried the team on his back with no protection in front or in back. People who were around the game back then are still baffled that teams kept pitching to him. The last two days of the season were just a complete frenzy. I've read books where Yaz said that he literally got no sleep before those two games. He was driving around and taking walks. He was too charged up to sleep. Many kids like myself got little sleep too. It was the birth of Red Sox Nation. 2004 was our legitimacy. Both were great. Both were incomparable in their own way.

I left the house and heard the 9th inning on the radio. I have a couple of observations. First, the Red Sox radio announcers were in disbelief that Per"Dumbo" took Guthrie after an error, 91 pitches, and one out in the 9th. I couldn't believe it either. They hadn't touched him. I though that Per"Dumbo" could really regret that move. Second, I was sure that Cora was going to win the game for us. I understand that many thought Youk was safe at the plate. Third, after the 3-2 pitch to Lugo, I was so nervous that i changed the station to the Yankee station. At that moment John "the Shill" Sterling was saying that the Red Sox had scored 4 in the bottom of the 9th had the bases loaded with Lugo up and a 3-2 count. I found it amazing that he was up to the second on the Red Sox game and basically announced it in a play by play fashion. I thought the Yankees don't scoreboard watch? I guess their announcers do. lol!! Finally, Cora remains undefeared... right? I'm loving this stupid guy. A truly Happy Mothers day!

Tito just ran up the white flag. WMP is in LF for Manny. Happy Mother's Day.

This guy is taking our hitters to school. In a month no one will remember his name. This is an old story.

Making that throw is something a high school kid would do. For a major leaguer to make such a stupid no-percentage throw is baffling.

Giambi is upset they he did not have enough time to doctor the pink bat today.

It was a good thing that the organization found out that Sprowl was a bum and didn't waste any more time on him. What was bad about bringing him up was that the team had a certified Yankee killer in the bullpen--- Bill Lee. Stupid fat Zimmer hated him and spitefully would not let Lee pitch even though Yaz begged him to let Lee pitch. Yaz should have gone Pedro on the stupid old jackass.
