TaborJet Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 The series we've all been waiting for. 5 games with first place up for grabs. It has even more meaning since it looks like the second best team in the AL East may not even get in the playoffs. Game 1 Friday 1:05pm Wang vs. Johnson Game 2 Friday 8:05pm Ponson vs. Lester Game 3 Saturday 1:20 pm Johnson vs. Beckett Game 4 Sunday 8:05 pm Mussina vs. Schilling Game 5 Monday 1:05 pm Lidle vs. Wells Discuss.

I'll put it this way: Both the Sox and Yanks have underachieved this year. Whoever makes the playoffs out of these two is destined to be a 1st round casualty. The Sox got beat up by the D-Rays, Royals and Tigers. The Yanks dropped 2 straight against the O's. Do either of these teams want the Division Title?

Maxman Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 The Yankees won't be a 1st round casuality. They are winning the whole thing. I believe that. This team plays solid baseball (ARod's errors aside). Is it me or does the pitching matchup favor the Yankees big time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we have Josh "Homerun Derby" Beckett on Saturday and Curt "I give up 10 hits a game" Schilling on Sunday. It is going to be ugly. If the Yankees don't win 3 or 4 games in this series then they officially suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team plays solid baseball (ARod's errors aside). Is it me or does the pitching matchup favor the Yankees big time? Game 1 Friday 1:05pm Wang vs. Johnson ( Wang who I love scares me on any mound other than Yankee Stadium). Johnson sucks but edge = Sox. Game 2 Friday 8:05pm Ponson vs. Lester (Wiping off my monitor) Edge= Sox. Game 3 Saturday 1:20 pm Johnson vs. Beckett (Yanks will take Beckett , much to my dismay onto whatever that street is called over the monster). Edge = Yanks. Game 4 Sunday 8:05 pm Mussina vs. Schilling ( Moose is a mini slump). Toss Up but GS will give the edge to the Sox. Game 5 Monday 1:05 pm Lidle vs. Wells (" Big Game" Boomer Wells = Nuff said) Edge Sox...... (go easy on me Matt39 if I miss this one ). Should be a great series.....enjoy.

Carl make your point without the personal attacks. I made a post last night saying the Sox were dead to me this year. Overpaid bastards in my book. I am a Pats fan first and foremost. The Sox are a summer diversion. Don't get me wrong, I support all the Boston teams (even the Bruins), but my passion is only for the Pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot be serious taking jason johnson over wang. I could see the sox winning that game, but on paper, that is a huge huge advanatage for the Yankees.

Sharrow Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Boston should take 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbn007 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Yankees have no exceuse for not taking at least 3. This is not the Yankees fan in me speaking - that guy wants all 5!! But the Bosox are vulnerable now. Not having Veritek means the pitching staff is without their rock-solid guy back there. Hey, the Bosox gave a 32 year old Catcher a 4 year deal at big money, but for a 32 year old CF, they declined. Varitek is a Major piece for the Bosox. Wang has struggled in Fenway during his short career, and is coming off 2 poorly pitched games. But he is a big winner this season, and should do the job. Ponson should hold his own against Lester, but the Yankees probably lose that game. Randy is hot right now, and Beckett is HR prone, and has some poor stats against the best teams in the AL. Schilling-Moose is made for TV theather. Lidle vs Wells, is an edge for Boston, but which Wells shows up. Yankees, at least 3-2 for the series.

If the Sox can win game 2 and get a split, they might be able to pull out a series win. It just depends onwhich Beckett and Wells shows. There is also the likely reality of a 4-1 or 5-0 Yankee romp.

jets22 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 some of these pitching match ups show why both teams have been up and down all season. If either team had any consistency in there starting staff ....they would have a huge division lead right now. Should be a Great series as always between these two. GO YANKS !!

124 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Wang needs to step up today in Fenway. Period. If we win both games today we should be able to win 1 of the final 3 to win the series and game at least a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was available at the deadline in terms of pitching help? Not much IMO. I thought before the season started that the Sox would be lucky to make the playoffs. Theo is building for the future.
