BTW...will someone please explain to me why we pitched to the best hitter in the AL with an open base?

I'd love to trave for Abreu just to STOP KILLING THE SOX!!!

So you really want Mackowiak over there?

 

Actually, it might be better to play Uribe at 3B and Cintron at SS, as far as I'm concerned.

 

You realize that is why we got Mack in the first place, to backup Crede. It was Ozzie who decided he was a CF.

Yep, Mackowiak played a lot of 3b for Pitt. I've never understood why we don't use him more in the infield....it gives him a lot more value as a utility stud than making him a CF.

4-1 F***!

Come on, those last two runs didn't matter. We aren't going to score more anyways. Just consider this a favor from the Sox. The more runs they score, the easier it is to change teh channel, instead of seeing a one run lead from the Yankees where we get nobody on and try for the homerun.

5-1. Yankees always PWN Buehrle.

The 2006 Buehrle gave up homer after homer. Believe it or not, this Yankees lineup is damn good. Buehrle didn't have much tonight, and if it wasn't for those double plays, we would have been out of the game early on.

 

He's given up 5 runs in 5 and a third innings against a tied for last place team, including 4 in this inning. I can't go and find that impressive.

Impressive display of range this inning. You can always count on that from the right side of our infield.

Mark has s*** himself, its like a shooting gallery out there.

He wasn't even hit that hard, A-Rod's was crushed, but everything else was good hitting by very good hitters.

It's not impressive....but the 2006 Buehrle you're trying to talk about would have given up 3 homers in the first 3 innings and everyone would have been complaining about his velocity. I don't care what their record is....this is the best lineup we face.

Any gems by Hawk tonight?

Too bad we can reciprocate it with Mr. 87 mph straight as an arrow batting machine. This guy reminds me of Felix Diaz without the curve.

The Yankees aren't the Royals bro. And have you seen Buehrle's career era against them? Every team PWNS a particular pitcher occasionally.

Seriously, I think we blow leads and play more inept offense for Mark than it seems any other team does for one of their starters. Is it just me or do we just die when Mark pitches?

Because intentionally walking a guy in an inning with 2 runs already in, 2 more in scoring postion, 0 outs, and a guy hitting .333 with the bases loaded this year and .338 for his career in that spot on deck isn't very practical.

So, when will Sox fans just give credit to the offense instead of s***ting on their pitcher and questioning every one of the manager's moves?

^^^^^^^^^

 

Finally someone making sense in this thread.

Oh ya....said that we're as patient as the Yankees at the plate.

don't worry...we have 'Klutch'nerko, Juan Uribe 'swing at everything' and pop-up 'Cintron' coming up...we'll be right back in this game..

Who knows.

That inning would have still been bad, but there's no excuse for Cintron not to be playing closer due to his lack of arm strength. Of course, he shouldn't even be out there.

i miss the old sox who would claw their way back into this one.

Your way too smart to say the bolded, Fathom.
