Maxman Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 So if the scores hold up the Yankees will be 5 behind the Red Sox? C'mon Yankees don't go out without a fight. What's the latest on Wang? He coming back or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonEJet Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 Only 5 behind Boston at this point As bad as the Yanks have been, to still be in the mix, well who knows And as long as Josh continues to get pounded, the Yanks still have a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He coming back or what? They need to go on another run and win like 10 in a row to have a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetkid94 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 5 out and 6 left vs the Sox. were still alive! the last series of the season will be very drama full as its vs the sox! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetkid94 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 What happened? I know he got the cast off weeks ago and he had a Doctor's appt. But I missed the story after he went. Is he definitely out? Hasn't resumed throwing yet? BTW -- he still isn't an ace. they said when he got hurt he should be back in mid september.

MagicBizkit87 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I don't think Josh Beckett is as good as everyone thinks he is. I think he is very similar to a pitcher like Andy Pettitte. Both win the big games, but when they are bad, they really show it. I don't think any red sox fan can disagree with him being similar to Pettitte though. Hell, even their stats this year are similar. Here they are: Andy Pettitte 12-9 4.30 ERA 45 BB's 126 K's Josh Beckett 11-9 4.34 ERA 29 BB's 142 K's Granted Andy Pettitte doesn't have the stuff that Beckett has right now, but they both put up similar stats. They both have had their off years, Pettitte in 1999 (4.70 ERA), and Beckett in 2006 (5.01 ERA). I see no problem in calling them similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are kinda forgetting the loser of the Central division who you ALSO trail by 5 games. Blue Jays are just 2 behind Yanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCarl40 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Can someone please get me Josh Beckett's postseason stats. I think they are pretty solid. Can't remember off the top of my head. *note sarcasm* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeebers Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 what about 7 years ago? Meant 2003. In any regards, Beckett is the best post season pitcher in the league right now. It's silly to write him off based on a few bad starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugg Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 You guys are kinda forgetting the loser of the Central division who you ALSO trail by 5 games. Blue Jays are just 2 behind Yanks. Which is why to have any chance, the Yanks have to sweep the Jays this week. With 30 odd games left, the Yanks have to play .800 ball, and probably better than that in the agmes they have in the division, to have any chance at the wild card.

Gainzo Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I didn't see the game yesterday but I heard Beckett's comments on the radio this morning. He was dropping F bombs like they were going out of style. Needless to say, he wasn't happy with the "8 f'n runs" he gave up yesterday. Good old JonE. He's always on top of a bad Red Sox performance.
