Yay Red Sox won 4-2

Beckett was very sharp coming off the DL, pitched 7 strong innings giving up only 3 hits and 2 runs and he struck out 7.

I went to see Lester pitch in Pawtucket too. He pitched 5 shutout innings, giving up only 4 hits and striking out 6. I think he'll make 2 more starts in Pawtucket and then he'll be back up in Boston.

Timlin also pitched but he did pretty bad. Loaded up the bases with walks/hits. He was lucky to get out of the inning with only one run scored.

And the Yankees also lost :D
 
Another gutless performance by Armando Benitez with a game on the line. TWO balks to bring in the tying run, followed by a batting practice fastball to Carlos Delgado for the game-winning homer.

Attention, Brian Sabean: Shea Stadium is located not too far from the East River. You don't even need to send out for concrete shoes: a guy of Benitez' girth will sink straight to the bottom on his own. :mad:

I don't know whats more disappointing? The braves losing, or the giants dropping one I was sure was in the bag.

Beckett looked very good coming off the DL.Youk is absolutely on fire. Willie Mo can't leave town soon enough.Saw Lester's line last nite.Very encouraging. With 79 pitches thrown,they'll probly give him one more rehab start to get him up to the 100 pitch count zone..Looks like Timlin's career maybe coming to a close....

I think Smoltz will be fine, five games back is not fine so fine. We really need to go on a tear. When is our next series with the Mets? We'll at least gain a game on them. We really need back to back mets losses (combined with a win today- Huddy's on the mound we have a great chance) to whittle that lead down enough where it doesn't look as scarry to me.

Something just doesn't seem to be clicking right with the ballclub, maybe getting Cormier back will be the shot in the arm we need? I can't see where we need to get rid of anyone- I think we did all the cutting we needed when we dropped Redman and Wilson. We'll see what the next week brings, and if we can't get things rolling again.

(Go Giants!)

Benitez is a punk, I have always hated this guy after he drilled Tino Martinez in the back after the Yankees served a few home runs off if him.
 
As a Yankee fan I only have 1 glimmer of hope left.
On July 14, 1978, the Yankees were 14.5 games behind the Red Sox. Suddenly, the Yanks went on a tear, and by the time they met up for a pivotal four-game series at Fenway Park in early September, they were only four games out. The Yankees would sweep the Red Sox in what would become known as the "Boston Massacre", winning the games 15-3, 13-2, 7-0, and 7-4. The third game was a shutout pitched by "Louisiana Lightning" Ron Guidry, who would lead the majors with nine shutouts, 25 wins (only three losses), and a 1.74 ERA.

On the last day of the season, the two clubs finished in a tie for first place in the AL East. A one-game playoff (the 163rd game of the regular season) between the two teams was held to decide who would go on to the playoffs, with the game being held at Boston's Fenway Park. With Guidry matched up against former Yankee Mike Torrez, the Red Sox took an early 2-0 lead. In the seventh inning, the Yankees drove a stake through the hearts of their rivals' fans when Bucky Dent drove a three-run home run over the "Green Monster", putting the Yankees up 3-2. Reggie Jackson's solo home run in the following inning would seal the eventual 5-4 win that gave the Yankees their 100th win of the season and their third straight AL East title; it also gave Guidry his 25th win. (The outcome of this game, for Red Sox fans, was one of several emotional moments in their team's history that had their fans wondering if the Red Sox were under some kind of Yankee curse.)

I guarantee the Yankees win the AL East Division. So positive in fact that I am willing to change my name to "Go BoSoxs" and changed my avatar to a Red Sox logo on MR if they don't.


What am I doing? :confused:

Not even Santana won 20 last year. NOBODY did. I think Beckett and Lackey have a shot, but I don't think 25 is going to happen.

Beckett's got a definite shot if he stays healthy. Santana's good enough, but I don't think that he'll get enough help from the twins to do it. The only other person I can see going the 20 game distance would be D Train (Willis), but ya know... the fish.

LOL!! I was waiting for that to be dug/brought up here..Not only do you not have a 25 game winner,but in 78,the Sox stopped hitting after Labor Day.

The sad thing is that it is in the back of every Red Sox fans mind. They wait for the collapse every season.

As a longtime fan I can honestly say,of course.Part of being a Sox fan. Alot of the pink hat fans have no clue who Bucky Bleepin Dent even is...

Very stressed until that ninth inning. Here's hoping a mets loss comes down the line tonight. A set against the cubs give me some hope too, they don't look so tough. :D
