Sox are 8-0 against the yanks as of right now. Despite the dominance the Sox are 2.5 back. A huge 4 game series begins tonight in the Bronx. Thank God for the newly formed MLB network so I can watch this thing. Sox are sending Smoltz to the bump and the yanks counter with Mr I have too muich emotion Joba. Joba pitching extremely well right now and Smotlzy showing his age. This one could get ugly for Sox fans and joyful for yankee fans.
Ill go ahead and say that the Sox take 3 of 4 in this series. I like the pitching matchups for Boston in this series outside of tonight. Should be fun. I just hope a repeat of a series back in the month of August '05 does not repeat itself :Censor:

The Rangers have the team to do it this year. If they want to be a contender then they need to do something about it. You have to beat the best to be the best.;)

I beg to differ. You all can go ahead and wait until next March and win a game or two in Florida :cool:

But seriously Dr E, I am hoping for another ALCS matchup between the two teams. If that happens then I would strongly suggest you buy some stock in Anheiser Busch after the Division series are done. :D

That would work for sure. I was in Southlake today and did not realize there was a Cristinas off of Southlake Blvd. I think I could enjoy a Rita or fine Mexican beer watching baseball.

FWIW, The yankee fans gave Papi a great ovation tonight. Some will say hypocrisy but I say payback. They were relentless during his atbat. Its great to have this rivalry having a lot of meaning in the dog days of summer

The Rangers are so lucky that Andruw Jones decided to actually play baseball this year unlike last year when he was with the Dodgers. That game where he hit 3 homers against the Haols matched his season total last year. :mad:

08-06-2009, 07:05 PM
Pedroia just hit a can of corn out of the freaking ballpark. Man the new yankee stadium is a freaking launching pad, especially to right field. Sox up 1-0 in top of third right now.

Judas just tied it up in the bottom of the 3rd with a line shot over right that like Pedrorias would have been an out in just about every other ballpark in MLB it seems.
farmerfan
08-06-2009, 07:30 PM
Casey Kotchman just hit a two run shot into right on another ball that I have no idea got out ofthe park. 3-1 Boston in the top of 4 right now. Damn this place is a true launching pad to right.
farmerfan
08-06-2009, 07:45 PM
yanks putting together a huge bottom half of the 4th, 4 runs across so far and still nobody out. Melky Cabrerra just luanched a monster 3 run shot into Right. First legit homer of the night. 5-3 yanks in bottom of 4 and nobody out

08-06-2009, 08:00 PM
Posada the ultimate Red Sox killer just hit a 3 run bomb into center. He's a triple away from the cycle and the Yanks now lead 9-3. Well 8-0 was nice while it lasted. This one is over. Yanks killing the Sox pitching tonight.

I couldn't believe the Rangers were close to being swept today by the A's.

Damn, that was an opportunity wasted to gain some ground on the Angels.

Do you think Smoltz is going to start again for the Sox, farmerfan? He usually has one bad inning that he gets lit up on and the team is put in a sizeable deficit. He was doing good today but got smashed around in the 4th.

I don't think they should start him anymore. He can't get out of jams this year.

Too bad he can't make the batters connect with the ball...
CoveMom
08-07-2009, 10:02 PM
1st up Johhny Damon. Next up, Teixeira. And then it's A-Rod.
CoveMom
08-07-2009, 10:04 PM
Damon grounds out to first. Teixeira flies out to center field. Two out. Here comes A-Rod. On deck, Matsui. If anyone gets on base, Posada is in the Hole.

Strikes out swinging.


Boston's turn again. Top of the 12th.

08-07-2009, 10:13 PM
Drew goes down swinging. (They all be swinging tonight) and up comes Varitek.

08-07-2009, 10:13 PM
Can somebody tell me why you would bunt with nobody on base????
CoveMom
08-07-2009, 10:15 PM

One "hit". One catch (Youklis). Damon is back inside.


2 out.
CoveMom
08-07-2009, 10:51 PM
And there's a man wearing pinstripes on 1st Base. He walked there. Name's Teixeira.


Do something to earn the money A-Rod...

08-07-2009, 10:53 PM

CoveMom
08-07-2009, 10:55 PM
A-Rod flies out to Left field.

Joba pitching extremely well right now and Smotlzy showing his age. This one could get ugly for Sox fans and joyful for yankee fans.Ill go ahead and say that the Sox take 3 of 4 in this series. I like the pitching matchups for Boston in this series outside of tonight. Should be fun. I just hope a repeat of a series back in the month of August '06 does not repeat itself :Censor:

Of the three bolded, I was right about the first game. Sox already mnade a move in regareds to Smoltz. Its sad to see him get lit up like that but he just needs to hang it up.
Sox pitched well enough to win the other 3 games, yankees just pitched better. When you go 30+ innings without schoring a run I don't know how you can possibly win.
As for the final one, :Censor::Censor::Censor::Censor:


Its time for the Sox to also do somethign about Tek, the guy is hitting .040 the last 3 weeks and has not had his swing since the '04-'05 season. He is aging and is of no value to this ball club anymore. Hopefully this little slide will fix itself but man it sure hasn't been pretty here of late.
