THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK

Boston 1
New York 7
AP Recap
BRS Recap
Box Score

You could see this game coming from a mile away. For some reason, Andy Pettitte seems to do very well against us. He wins the Man of the Game due to his 8 Inning, 1 ER, 4 H, 0 BB, 10 K outing. Here are the MOTG standings:

1. Nomar - 4
2. Millar - 3
3. Nixon, Varitek - 2
5. Kapler, Mueller, Manny, Pedro, Burkett, Sanchez, Rupe, Lyon, A. Pettitte (NYY) J. Crede (CWS), E. Loiza (CWS), JD Drew (StL), B. Myers (PHI), J. Pierre (FLA) - 1

Four Red Sox were no-hit. Nomar, Varitek, Ortiz, and Jackson were the ones. Varitek struck out thrice and will be given 0.1 Bitch-Goat point. Garciaparra went 0 for 4 and left 2 men on base and will be given 0.1 BG point. Ortiz also struck out thrice and he shall receive 0.1 BG point. Jackson grounded into a double play and he shall receive 0.1 BG point. Burkett will receive 0.2 BG points for his not-so good outing and Todd Jones shall receive the remaining 0.4 BG points for his 3 Earned Runs which effectively knocked the Sox out of the game. Here are the BG standings:

1. Lyon - 1.0
2. Manny - 0.8
3. Timlin - 0.5
4. Rupe, Jones - 0.4
6. Varitek - 0.3
7. Grady, Varitek, Millar, Nomar, Burkett - 0.2
12. Walker, Mueller, Seanez, Shiell, Ortiz, Jackson - 0.1

Reds acquire D'Angelo Jimenez. There was some speculation that the Red Sox might make a move for him. I guess not. It probably would have allowed us to send Freddy Sanchez back to AAA. Not that Sanchez isn't doing well, but as a young prospect, he needs 4 ABs and to play the field every day. He can't get that with the Boston Red Sox right now.
