Y*NKEE PRIDE...AGAIN

I know, it's been the headline of every other Y*nkee story since Pride signed with them but hey, he's an OK guy. He's legally deaf but still talks better than Grady Little. Anyhow, there were many small things that cost us this game. I'll list them after the MOTG and BG.

Boston RS 1
NY Y*nkees 2

The Man of the Game is obvious. Mike Mussina went 8, allowed 2 hits (a blooper and a double misplayed by Pride), only walked one, struck out 9, and retired 21 Sox in a row at one point. Here are the MOTG standings:

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

Pedro gets an honorable mention for his 7 innings, 1 Earned Run, 11 Ks, 0 BB, and 5 Hits. And by hitting Jeter, he reassured his status as the Lord Almighty. He got his 90th career 10 K game, his 63rd with the Sox and his 3rd of the season. It's good to see him back as the dominant man he truly is.

Now for the Bitch-Goat. Johnny Damon didn't get the ball out of the infield so he gets 0.1 point. Todd Walker made a couple horrible defensive plays. One snuck by him and it turned into a Giambi RBI basehit. The other ate him up and became a Game Winning Error. He shall be given 0.4 points. BH Kim did somewhat poorly and shall be given 0.4 points. Grady Little made a silly lineup and shall get 0.1 point. Here are the BG standings.

1. Lyon - 1.0
2. Manny - 0.8
3. Timlin, Walker - 0.5
5. Rupe, Jones, Kim - 0.4
8. Varitek, Grady - 0.3
10. Varitek, Millar, Nomar, Burkett - 0.2
14. Mueller, Seanez, Shiell, Ortiz, Jackson, Damon - 0.1

That's it for now. I'll list the close calls later on tonight as I intend to nap this one off.
