How'd that asskicking feel yesterday?


This is typical Sox baseball, September is right around the corner, normal time for you to pack it in!!!



If you think I'm talking shit, you would be correct. If the Yanks sweep this series, that will be a 6 and a half game lead. This late in the season, that's basically a nail in the coffin.


No way the wild card is coming out of the AL East this season either.

So, I'm anxious to see which Randy Johnson shows up today. But yesterday was NICE.


Scoreboard!!!!

The second game last night was a surprise win for me, cause they looked bad in the earlier innings.
On one NY radio sports station, the host was saying that Boston wasn't built to win this year, and their performance has been a pleasant surprise. The Yanks however were built to win, but they don't match up well against the Angels

Angels OWN us these last few seasons.

I knew Ponson would get yacked around the yard. Everytime he takes the mound he brings his gascan with him. Flippin' ERA of like 10. Trust me, you will NOT see him in October, so no biggie. I know the 12 runs of the first game was enough to send the sox starting pitcher Johnson right to the minors though.

Johnny Effin Damon...Bobby Effin Abreu..

The Angels have had the Yankees' number for the past ten years. It's inexplicable. But I think Oakland will win the west so the Yanks shouldn't have to worry about facing Anaheim again this postseason.

jerseykrs said:

I think Ponson is already finished as a Yankee. I bet he won't even see September in pinstripes.

To be honest, I'm scared that the Yanks starting rotation won't match up well with alot of teams. Even with their potent offense this season, you have to be able to pitch well.

As long as we stick it to Boston, it's a productive year.

sextonseven said:

Dude, when I heard they picked him up, I was like WTF?!?!

jerseykrs said:

Yanks were clearly desperate at the time.

Now that Corey Lidle is here, Ponson is no longer needed. His role as long reliever can easily be filled by a Triple A guy.

sextonseven said:

Lidle had a bad outing last time.

purplerein said:

He's 1 and 3.

Come playoff time, he'll be long relief. I'm telling you, I know it's hard, cause Boston does battle, but if they can get a 6 and a half game lead with basically one month left in the season, that shit is HARD to come back from.

purplerein said:

I'd still rather have him pitch for my team than Ponson. Has Sidney ever had a good outing this year?

sextonseven said:

he went out to dinner..he did well there

purplerein said:

Well said!

octavio doctel is only going to improve, which will allow the bullpen to have more options...I think we'll be okay. look how well Cano is playing since coming back..

purplerein said:

shiiiiit, look at fucking Melky Cabrera having a FINE rookie season.

Goddamn, today's Yanks/Bosox game is turning out just like last night's. All offense, no pitching.

I believe that's a four and a half game lead now.

Go Reds.

Oh, please.

I'm getting drunk at the moment. Just so you know.

I think I heard that this weekend was the first time in Bosox history that they have given up at least 12 runs three games in a row.

Tomorrow is Schilling vs. Mussina. Boston can't allow double digit runs again tomorrow. If they do, Red Sox fans might as well walk around with bags over their heads.

sextonseven said:

39 runs in three games. What what what!!

And I got news, Moose is a GAMER. Schill is too, but I'm excited about these next two games!!!

Pitchers' duel today so far.

douche.

It's over. Yanks just completed a five game sweep at Fenway. Final score 2-1. Bosox are 6.5 games behind in the AL east.
