SOX AND SOX SPLIT, Y*NKEES AFRAID OF RAIN
Boston 4
Chicago 3/10 Inn.
BOX SCORE
RECAP
Sox came out early and got 3 in the 1st thanks to some walks and a Nixon single. Then the bats went silent. No hits after the 1st, no baserunners after the 3rd. The other Sox tied it up on a Garciaparra error. The game went to 10. "Big" Bill Mueller had a bloop single, Damian Jackson then worked a walk. Varitek bunted them over and Damon knocked in the winning run. Lyon capped off 4 scoreless innings from the bullpen.
The pitching has performed very well lately. Quality Start from Lowe, scoreless bullpenery (made up word) combine to equal a win. The Man of the Game award was a tough one to pick. In fact, as I'm writing this, I'm still deciding. I'm gonna go with Brandon Lyon cuz he has done well lately and pitched well in a tough spot. Here are the MOTG standings:
1. Nomar, Millar - 2
3. Burkett, F-Chez, Nixon, JD Drew, Ryan Rupe, Joe Crede, Brandon Lyon, Esteban Loiza - 1
And what the fuck is Grady Little doing starting Jeremey Giambi for the third straight game? I know he's trying to jump start him, but why not bat the pitchers instead? John Burkett or Tim Wakefeild could probably hit better than .174.
The Jays won and the Y*nkees were postponed due to "rain." Funny thing about the Y*nkees game. Did you know that the decision whether or not to start a game in poor weather is up to the home team? The umpires gain control once the game begins. Did you know that the rain that caused the Y*nkees to postpone totalled .14 inches while the rain that fell for cl*mens' 300th win was .5 inches? (Did you know steinbrenner's dick is .03 inches?) And did you know that 2 hours after the scheduled start of the game, the rain stopped? And did you know that the Y*nkees take on rival Mets this weekend and Jeff Weaver doesn't have to pitch until AFTER the series due to the rainout? The Evil Empire once again proves its evil.
Some bullpen news. Bobby Howry is done for the year.
Now some quasi-good news. Chad Fox is on his way back. Why is this nearly good news? Cuz Chad Fox isn't Rudy Seanez.
Y*nkees rehab news
On a non-baseball note: the US soccer team lost to Turkey in their Confederations Cup opener. Damn! Without Friedel, we're nothing.
