Yeah it did. He redeemed himself for not being a good defensive catcher...

You guys are killing us by the way. How bout you let us win one!

Yeah Jorge has always been average at best. He lost something like 15, 16 lbs. before this season. He really wanted to inprove his reaction time and throwing from behind the plate.

His throwing has improved obviously, since he's having his best season to date throwing people out, and his versitility has improved in blocking the plate and blocking the wild pitches (just watching him everyday you can tell he's moving around much better then the years past) but that play today was :ugh :freak :BANG for sure.

So, NESN is reporting that David Ortiz is coming back to Boston for more tests because the irregular heartbeat that showed up during the Yankees series has now come back. If this is serious the Sox are in some trouble, and I mean next year, their season is already done this year.

The Boston Globe
August 28th 2006

Roxbury MA (AP) - A seven-year-old boy was at the center of a Boston courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his
Parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him.

After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him. After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Boston Red Sox, whom the boy firmly believes is not capable of beating anyone.

Fucking injuries just blew the whole rest of the season. its really sad, because I thought this team had a chance for another world series.

I still have some hope though if we can sweep the yankees in the next series.
always keep the faith!

Had everyone stayed healthy we would be in it, and are a better team than the Yankees, but our entire pitching staff has been injured pretty much all year. The Yankees just have Matsui and Sheffield injured and face it, they don't really make a huge difference. Their offense never suffered. If they had their staff injued and their captain they wouldn't be where they are now, that's a fact.

Wow. You're strugglin now man. Both Matsui and Sheffield last played on May 29. Last season the two combined for 239 RBI. Nixon and Varitek have both played over two months LONGER this season than the two Yankees. Last year they combined for 137 RBI. 102 runs between the duos. And I'd say the Red Sox pitching woes have been more along the lines of who's in your personnel. Sure the losses of Wakefield and Clement hurt, but your top 2 starters have been healthy all season.

Tek means more to the Sox than Sheff or Matsui mean to the Yankees, it's fact. Just like ARod or whoever may put up bigger numbers than Jeter (not this year) but Jeter is your most important player....

Basically with Matsui and Sheff instead of the Yanks winning 6-3, you would win 7 or 8-3. You'd still win, just by a bigger margin. The Red Sox have had Wakefield, Clement, Wells, Foulke injued all year...Foulke sucks now cause of injuries..Face it.

How can you say Matsui and Sheff are that important to the Yankees offense when you still have the best offense even without them in the lineup lol?

I just told you, 239 RBI. That's 239 runs the Yankees have to find from some other source; of course the offense suffers. Using your theory, we'll take Wednesday night's game vs. the Tigers. Instead of losing that game 5-3 without Matsui/Sheffield, it's tied at 5, and we see what happens in the 10th. I don't think that logic is quite on point. And the Yankees have been fortunate to find Melky Cabrera this season, I was pretty sure they would give up on him after last season. And Abreu looks like he's been in New York his entire career.

Varitek may mean more to the Sawx than any other player as a symbol; but as a player, he's only OK. Am I downgrading him too much? Not sure. Maybe I'm not giving him his due; in 2004, after all, the guy hit .296. Hm. The point is yes, of course the Yankees offense has suffered this year. It has just been fortunate enough to be able to fill the holes efficiently. Remember, we played a big chunk of the season this year with an outfield that looked like Melky Cabrera, Johnny Damon, and Bernie Williams. Or Aaron Guiel. Or Bubba Crosby. With the exception of Damon (and Cabrera recently), not too many runs are coming from those guys.

And I've totally overlooked the loss of Robinson Cano for a month and a half. In that spot we had Miguel Cairo playing, and we both know about the infamous Nick Green argument. Same deal here, Cairo not producing too many runs, is he? Is Nick Green scoring any runs?

Comeback win with a walk off homer in the 10th by none other than Willy Mo Pena. Returns of Ramirez, Nixon, and Varitek.

Once we get Papi back things will be back for the offense. The pitching will just have to gut it out. We're only 6 games out of the Wild Card race.

That's pure speculation. And no your offense hasn't struggled, the Yankees have the most lethal lineup in baseball without Sheffield, and Matsui. I am not downgrading what they do with a bat, but when it comes down to it, the Yankees offense is still the best without them this year. For you say games that you lost by 2 runs or whatever are guaranteed wins if they are in the lineup is MORONIC. Those runs that were scored could have been atributed to people taking their places, so then they would jut balance out. Whatever though, you are right every game y'all lost by a run or two would automaticaly be wins if they were in the lineup :lol :rolleyes :lol :lol :rolleyes

that drew deal is never gonna be finalized. The report that he signed was in like early December:lol Drew is better than Trot...
Pedroia should be good. if you look at his minor league numbers, he's a great hitter.
the one place were you should be really scared is the bullpen. You have no definite closer, and although closing is overrated, you still need one. Piniero was good outta the pen last year but no way would i trust him closing. Timlin? Hansen? Delcarmen? i even heard Tavarez name!

Oritz went 0-6 in his first game in his new city of Boston. He turned out to be shitty.

Lugo was a defensive upgrade with a little better offense than what we had last year with Gonzalez/Cora. He isn't our J.D. Drew upgrade. He's the one who you watch at the plate.

Now if you mean his strikeout means he has little expectations from fans, then yes, that's true. And that is good. So he doesn't have pressure on his ass like Renteria had.

Statistics that tend to prove true during a season, not just a one day stand. Stats don't measure clutch situations, but Cora and Gonzalez weren't meant for that. Nor will Lugo. I'm just sayin'...

Statistics that tend to prove true during a season, not just a one day stand. Stats don't measure clutch situations, but Cora and Gonzalez weren't meant for that. Nor will Lugo. I'm just sayin'... Don't judge on a season. Look at career stats, where he's hitting in the lineup. He's a great OBP guy, and has a ton of speed on the basepath, which is what this team needed on offense. He brings a lot more on offense than A-Gon and Cora could ever hope to bring...

I read in the Globe today that they didn't play the National Anthem on Opening Day. Is this true? Have they played it at any game since?

If they haven't played it yet before every game, then that is a damn shame and I frown upon whoever made that decision.

It's just the way it's done, people. Sporting event = National Anthem is played.

I could've sworn they did, and Robert Goulet sang America the Beautiful or something, as well. Or something like that. Anyways, I could've sworn that someone played the NA. That would be wrong if they didn't - I definitely agree with ya there.

It's definitely frustrating when you have an ace like Daisuke pitching his ass off and we don't get any run support. Kinda reminds me of what happened to Pedro his last few years with us. I remember several instances where Pedro would have an amazing game, but we'd leave him hanging with no run support. What can I say? It just sucks when that stuff happens.

They're throwing Pettite, Katras (I don't care if it's spelled wrong) and Wright. Hopefully our offense keeps finds the stride they had in the Angels series.

Big trip to the Bronx next weekend. If our pitchers don't settle down in the early innings down there we could be in for a long one. On a positive, it is really nice to see the bats really coming alive. If Paps and OJ can keep pitching like this I truly believe we can have a record setting season on our hands.

Our pitching wasn't great, but the yanks were throwing batting practice all weekend. Starting pitching wasn't the highlight of the series, but our bullpen was pretty solid which turned out to be the difference. I am just hoping Manny gets his timing down soon (before the next series) because we need the ortiz-manny combo

You guys never should have made that trade for him IMO. Arroyo is a decent pitcher that used to dominate the Yanks.

You guys never should have made that trade for him IMO. Arroyo is a decent pitcher that used to dominate the Yanks.

I would have to agree with you, although it's not because Willy Mo's a substandard player. We already have a center fielder (Coco) that gets a helluva lot of playing time, which leaves only a few starts and ABs for Pena. Pena puts up decent numbers (I'm watching the O's Bos game now and just got a lead off double), and would be a great addition to the starting line-up, but I fear that he won't get the time on the field he deserves.

well just got back from minneapolis. and the game on saturday was a tough loss but tavarez pitched really well while santana didn't. and then my friends and i decided to go to the game today and that was a great decision. we scalped tickets and got some really good seats. exciting game. finally got to see okajima, schilling, and papelbon pitch! it was great. drew came alive. and let me tell you pedroia was on fire. i should go to all the games because i think i am a good luck charm for him. i think he was 5-6 over the two games we went to and raised his average like 60 points.

anyways it was a really fun weekend. just thought i would let you konw!

I really hope your being sarcastic. If not, then I don't think you should be called a Red Sox fan.

The Yankees would never sign a player like this to such a ridiculous contract....:rolleyes

Sorry, that's not exactly right. Mondesi, Pavano, come to mind. OK, sorry. Forget I said anything....

Hey Ryan! I'm glad you went back today, I was feeling kinda bad for you last night :( .

yeah last night was a pretty uneventful game. pretty boring, but today's game was everything i had hoped for. i was on the first base side so i got to watch all the pitchers warm up it was great.

and the only good thing about saturday night was that we met up with some people afterwards and had a nice time so that was good! :)
