as far as being annoying, kilo pointed out my old posting habits in that I had something like 90-100 posts in a game thread. This minimizes that.

Bottom 1st Andy Pettitte to face Castillo, Punto, and Mauer. Pettitte had trouble with locating the offspeed stuff in his last start. Lets see if he can locate it in the controlled environment of the dome. I did it yesterday and we won. I'll do it till we lose, so long as my fingers stay on. Fastball misses high to Castillo, 1-0.

Bonser misses high, full count. Giambi grounds one sharply into the shift. Inning over. 2 runs, 2 hits, nobody left. Yankees lead, 2-0.

lets get it on!!

Credit Beckett for limiting the walks. Some pitchers dont pitch well with big leads. Beckett adjusted game plan, kept the pitches low and made it through 7. Credit to him. He dominated a pretty good lineup.

if the kid has that kind of arm, you take a flier. The Yankees did it with Bruney and came up aces.

Jeff Weaver got himself into trouble, the sox patiently waited him out and slashed him. Beckett's job was easy after that.

Save yourself the worry. The race is NY vs Boston and all that really matters is the loss column. And standings watching right now is nuts.

what happened? I missed it.

good.

MULTITASKING!!!!

If I were a sox fan, I'd hope he just throws the ball over and runs be damned. With a 7 run lead, the sox only need innings at this point. You should be more angry if he gets cute and tries to K everyone.

Drew gets one out of the park. 7-0. Wow.

5-0. Weaver is absolutely terrible.

Lugo leads off with a double. You know how I said the sox will not have too many blowouts this yr? Well, this is gonna be one of them.

Beckett dealing.

3-1 count. Ibanez out. 1 down.

and the inning is over. Wow. 4 runs.

Haha, Coco with the hit.

he is.

2-0? Does Weaver know who he is pitching to?
