Damn.

Oh well.....Red Sox win 9-5.

Get 'em tomorrow Yankees!

Better than 9-1, but we still sucked tonight. Maybe they heard that Sheff is coming back before the bottom of the 9th .

Yeah, I'm still happy though...I really like our farm system right now.....

[LiquidBlue]

Wow.

Keith Foulke sucks!

Just figure this out? Oh well I suppose this is why we have Papelbon.

Yeah, without Papelbon, every close game is in question.

Jaret Wright vs. Tim Wakefield tonight.....

KB, do you know anything about Tabata's injury that's kept him out of the last few games?

[Medford Bronco]

Especially when Foulke pitches, he sucks

Bring up Craig Hansen

The Yanks need a medical staff to handle all the bad luck they have had lately.

They have a 7-day DL in the minors. I understand that he looked great in BP yesterday and is ready to be activated in the next few days. He was put on the DL (back sprain) as a precautionary measure only..... he COULD have played through it, but it wasn't worth risking further injury.

We'll trade you Eddie Guardado for Lester...straight up! Then you can have two old, busted up closers...

Sheffield has officially been activated . Colter Bean was designated for assignment.

[RunYouOver]

Derek Jeter is officially four hits away from 2000.

[RunYouOver]

Ballgame over, Yankees win....THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YANKEES WIN!!!!!!!

[LiquidBlue]

Geh. At least we had more hits, had a more efficient closer, and Robinson Cano had no hits.

Papelbon did well, too.

And for ONCE, A-rod came through when needed, he had a great game.

See what a difference Sheffield makes.

LOL. Too bad moral victories don't count in the standings. That being said, isn't a 5-out save when the closer enters with 2 runners on more difficult than coming into a bases empty situation and earning a ....... Game Finished?? ..... I guess. The sox made it a tough game..... great rivalry.

It must have been a treat when the CF from your favorite sox team led off the game with a HR!!!

Let's see........... A-Rod CAN'T deliver big hits??
The red sox OWN Rivera??
2 myths that don't hold up under closer inspection.

Great job by Jaret Wright!! I'm still wondering why he wasn't left in for the 6th.
Another Save for THE GREATEST RELIEVER OF ALL TIME.

Nice job by the sox hitters to be patient enough to draw all those walks (that wasn't meant to be sarcastic...... I tend to credit the hitter for working a walk unless the pitcher is nowhere near the strike zone).
Manny and Ortiz generally make teams pay for walking the hiters that come up before them.

My presumption is that Wright was taken out for one of two reasons.

A) He's still coming off an injury, and they want to work him back slowly.

B) He got hit with a comebacker off the chest by the first batter of the game...it was cold, maybe it started to stiffen up.
