Guru Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 That Aug 7th win was insane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsguy9695 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 This is another big series this weekend for the Yanks and Sox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teletopez Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 That Aug 7th win was insaneI still think the July 1, 2004 was crazier. Boston had bases loaded with no one out and A-Rod thought he had a triple play, but it was only a DP. Jeter dove into the stands and had to leave the game, so they moved Rodriguez over to shortstop and moved Sheffield over to third. In one inning, the Red Sox didn't want the Yankees scoring on a single up the middle, so they used five infielders and two outfielders. Then Manny hit a solo HR in the top of the 13th inning, and the Yankees rallied with two outs and no one on base in the bottom of the 13th to win the game. I think that game ended at almost 1.

EastCoastNiner Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) I have no clue what is going to happen this series, but the Boston Red Sox are starting to hit. Brad Penny better not suck. Edited August 20, 2009 by EastCoastNiner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guru Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 damn we put up 20 runs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teletopez Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 That was quite a sloppy game, but hey, when you put up 20 runs, you may as well put in a guy who hasn't pitched in weeks, a guy coming off injury, and a shaky starter. And Mitre has good stuff. He showed that backdoor curveball last year, but the question is whether he can be consistent, which he hasn't exactly been. For now, we have him, Bruney, and Robertson to use when starters don't go very far, and then we have Aceves, Coke, Hughes, and Rivera for the later parts of the game, which looks like a pretty strong bullpen. Nice offensive performance yesterday . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flight Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 (edited) Yesterday was free batting average night. Today is boost your ERA day.Hey when you win by 9 and put up an Andrew Jackson you have to accept a blowout loss a day later haha. Man, Cano is becoming a superstar. Oh, voted July 1st, that game is a classic. Edited August 22, 2009 by The Garbage Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teletopez Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Hey when you win by 9 and put up an Andrew Jackson you have to accept a blowout loss a day later haha.Not after losing the first eight games of the season series.

Flight Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Not after losing the first eight games of the season series.Meh, after winning 5 straight you could haha. Yankees pretty much have the division as long as they don't completely collapse, at which point they'd probably take the wildcard. Rays and Rangers might end up being in a battle for the WC though, both of which I'd enjoy seeing in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teletopez Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Well unfortunately, Burnett's ERA is over 4, Jeter's hitting streak is over, the best we can do is tie the season series, and we, once again, barely score for AJ. But in the end, it's only one loss and we're still 6.5 up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teletopez Posted August 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 A new record set for runs scored by the Yankees and BoSox in a three game set, pretty crazy. Also, I think this was Beckett's first loss at Fenway this year. He also gave up a career high five HR's in the game, though he went eight frames. Not the best baseball we've played, but we took 2 out of 3, so we played well enough, overall at least. Great series for Matsui with two 2 HR games. Jeter continued the hot hitting after having his hit streak snapped yesterday. Great bounce back game, and great pitching by the ace.

EastCoastNiner Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 If the New York Yankees offense is off for a few games in a playoff series, they are toast. I don't think they have the pitching to survive a minor offensive slump, and I am hoping that they hit one soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teletopez Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 One more series in the regular season between these two teams in September, which will a 3 game set in the Bronx. The season series stands at 9-6 in favor of the Red Sox. The Yanks have won 6 of the last 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
