Already sick of yankees-red sox

Ortiz is a monster when it comes out to closing games.

 

Mainly because of the guy who's hitting behind him. And it's not the Jewish first baseman.

 

It's getting kinda old with the Yankees and Red Sox now days.

 

I suspect this will mean they'll make one more waiver wire trade for an arm, any arm at this point. There's two games left in the series and Schilling's on the mound Sunday, though the Yankees counter with Moose. If the Sox can't do anything with a Schilling start, they may be mortally fucked. The White Sox or Tigers could megafade, but I doubt it (the Tigers are more likely, since Rogers is blown up and Verlander may be too, but they also have a lot more margin of error).

 

Who can they get, though? I won't believe the Red Sox are dead until I see it, but this weekend has been pretty insane.
Even as good as the Yankees lineup is, having this line from your pitching staff in three games is pretty crazy:
by starters:
13.2 IP, 22 H, 20 R, 20 ER, 14 BB, 9 K
by relievers
13.1 IP, 22 H, 19 R, 18 ER, 14 BB, 11 K

 

Sidney Ponson ate Natalee Holloway.

 

I'm so going to Hell for laughing at that.

 

You'll be in good company because I'm joining you.

 

i'm just glad this series has been a complete bust. awesome offensive display by the yankees, and red sox fans ready to accept defeat.

 

Red Sox fans love to do that, too. It's their trademark, really, despite 2004. I know some fans -- a lot, actually -- who have already given up on 2006 and are second-guessing every offseason move.

 

There are some of us that have questioned the moves from the get go.

 

I've had much more patience with Terry Francona than the average citizen of Red Sox Nation, but... why the @#$% did he send Youkilis up to bunt in the ninth?
