Cotts returns to the scene of the incident at Yankee Stadium and holds em down. Attaboy Neal.

We need a run before the sandman comes in the 9th.

I agree.  The last thing we need is another beaning incident.  You don't want your team to get known as a bunch of head hunters, because umps will be more likely to toss your pitchers, even if it was not intentional.  We don't need that happening to our starters.  Also, hbp wars can result in our players getting hit and potentially injured.  I know people think it's cool to do it....but it's pretty stupid to make a habit of it.

We already have the reputation, and you don't want to add to it, especially with this crew and the next two games.

Flash a few homers for Gordon, or just a few doubles would do the job.

That guy's a hack

C'mon fathom, this team, from where they are right now, is going to have to lose about 10 in a row to give the other teams a shot.

 

If you think they are going to choke the chicken that bad, why do you follow this team?  Why can't you enjoy it?  I just do not understand the negativity.  Reality, yes, but constantly WAITING for this team to s***... I don't get it.  I think you just want to say you're right.

 

I don't mean this to be rude....but please don't tell me who I root for or not. I might be pessimistic...but there's no one on here that cheers for the Sox any more than I do. Yes, it's possible that a team could choke a lead like ours now. If it happens, I will honestly be ok with it. If you can't make the playoffs with a 13 game lead on 8/8/05.....you don't deserve to make it.

Gooch, not a good nite.

Down to our last out

We should be able to put more than 2 runs up against the Yanks banged up pitching staff.

LoL, was gonna say the same thing,

This is where we need a hr PK right here right now.

Our players put together some of the worst AB's.

 

For 7 innings of a game, we can be the worst offense in baseball.

If Gordon throws anything for PK to hit here he needs his head examined

9 hits is pretty good for us lately. JD just couldn't come through.

Mussina's not good?

That's game :banghead

Game over. Wasted a good start from El Duque, nice relief from Neal.

Game over. :(

Well, that was pathetic.

On any other night, I'd agree with you. But tonight we're gonna see Mussina, Gordon and Rivera. Those three are still healthy, and still tough to hit.

:headshake :puke

Oddly he pulled the outside pitch with the Pauly Pull baseball shift on. I am surprised lots of teams dont invoke the Pauly Pull Baseball Shift.

 

Well its Timo, Dye, Rowand against the sandman in the 9th.

 

YIKES

But i thought Gordon was hittable :huh

I really hate the freaking Spankees. Between the umps sucking ass and the offense not getting it done, I am sick to my stomach.
