Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees @ Yankee Stadium Series Thread

[Thai Jet 161,034]

Whoever this Yanks pitcher is, just got one of his hitters hit sometime this series. Dumb.

And this surprises you ?

[Jbro22 95,172]

I could watch the red sox get hit by pitches all day. I was hoping Joba hit Youk in the face.

Classy. Ask Kirby Puckett how that feels. Have some sense.

And can someone tell Michael Kay that I never want him to ever say the word orgy again. Haha.

[Blackout 63,285]

Given the premise, I don't know how else you'd judge him.

by more than 2 freakin' starts lol

It was worth it seeing that little wise ass cry walking to 1st

Did you read his lips? All he said was "That's BS to throw at someone when the score is out of hand."

He's not wrong.

[JonEJet 61,506]

F-that little piece of crap

Nevertheless, he was ahead in the count 1-2

I really don't think he was trying to hit him

[DLJ 151,286]

Just end this **** already!

[JonEJet 61,506]

Hit him again

[DLJ 151,286]

**** our pitching sucks tonight.

[Garb 164,364]

Yankees have the best line-up in the majors, imo. 18 hits tonight. How many came off Shmoltz? 11? LOL!

Awesome win!

PS17 should go to games more often!

He already missed once over his head.

Tomorrow's another day. Beckett is money. Go Sox.

[JonEJet 61,506]

Don't mind going up against Becks as well as the Yankee Lumber Co is hitting

1 down

3 to go

[Blackout 63,285]

yes we do

Jeter-Damon-Tex-Arod-Matsui-Jorge-Cano-Swisher-Melky

there's no easy out in there....even Melky and Swishaliscous are producing.

and Brett Gardner can steal some bases...not much of a hitter though.

[DaBrick Wall 4,985]

Gaudin was a decent pickup actually. Of course he's not a sexy pickup and he walks too many people, but he could be a solid fifth starter. Hell of a lot better than Mitre; that's for sure.

He's a midget, what the ****'s he gonna do?

[PS17 78,934]

haha! It was an amazing atmosphere. Just a big party in the Bronx. Boston sucks. I don't think they're making the playoffs.

[JonEJet 61,506]

Yes they are, little boy

[PS17 78,934]

Yes they are, little boy

Nope. Texas.

[JonEJet 61,506]

Their offense is the best in baseball.....yes, better than ours

[JonEJet 61,506]

Are you joking?

[Thai Jet 161,034]

Are you joking?

Face it , no one hates the Red Sox more than my old buddie Jon. If he's saying it , he's serious.

But does his ludicrous statement even make sense to you, a Sox fan? No way their Offense is better than the Yanks.

Personally I'd give the very slight edge to the Red Sox as well. I've seen them score runs in bunches this year plus now they've added Victor Martinez which sure can't hurt. Just count your lucky stars that Tex signed with NY and not Boston. I think the Red Sox would have a 6 game lead right now if he had. Boston does have an advantage in pitching and I think that will be the big difference. It usually is.

[JonEJet 61,506]

I give the edge to the sawx because their outfield is better

Bay > Johnny...close though

Ells = Cabrera

Drew = Swish Slight edge Drew

[PS17 78,934]

Drew = Swish Slight edge Drew

And the infielders? Teixeira - Cano - Jeter - Rodriguez. Clear advantage to the Yankees. Cabrera has been lighting it up as of late, I'd say he's even with Jacoby. Right now, I would easily take Damon over Bay- who has come crashing back down to reality. Swish and Drew are almost even but I give the nod to Swish.

Sorry, I don't see Boston being better than NY hitting wise. And it's not really close.

[JonEJet 61,506]

Infield

Tex > Youk....ever so slight edge

Pedroia = Cano.....can't believe I am saying that, but Robbie is having an outstanding year

Jeter> Any Sawx there

ARod > Lowell But not much

Martinez and Ortiz = Posada and Matsui

It really is close.....you might be right PS

Still really close

[Klecko73isGod 124,089]

Let's look at the numbers:

BA - Yanks .279, Sox .266

Runs - Yanks 607, Sox 560

Hits - Yanks 1045, Sox 974

HR - Yanks 163, Sox 129

2B - Yanks 219, Sox 236

3B - Yanks 17, Sox 18

RBI - Yanks 580, Sox 534

SB - Yanks 71, Sox 85

OBP - Yanks .360, Sox .350

SLG - Yanks .477, Sox .445

By the numbers the Yankees are CLEARLY the better offensive team this year.

Higher batting average, on base percentage, slugging percentage, hits, homeruns, RBI.

The Sox are the faster team as their edge in stolen bases and doubles will attest but the Yankees are clearly the better hitting team across the board.

[Thor99 410,254]

Well, that sucked. On the bright side, I had Joba going for me against Smoltz on my Fantasy team.

Beckett needs to pitch a gem tomorrow. Hopefully the Yanks are tired from running the bases last night.

It's Beckett tonight for the Sox. Buchholz tomorrow.

I knew that. I just woke up and haven't had any coffee yet.

Thanks.

lol - no problem

[DLJ 151,286]

No ****ing way does the Redsox have a better offense than the Yanks.

Come on the reigning MVP is having a sub par year.
