Boston slapped around like a ho

Great game by the Sox this afternoon, that was pretty hysterical.

LOL, prety awful, they played like Flower Alley ran 2 weeks ago. But 1 loss is 1 loss, no matter how many you lose by.

Lester a mess in 2nd game.Tavarez(d white flag) warming up.

[SCUDSBROTHER]

As long as Ponzon is on the mound,Sox have a shot to rally back.

[SCUDSBROTHER]

Ugly 7 on THE BOARD.SUPPOSE TO GIVE THAT UP IN A GAME(NOT AN INNING.)

Yankees humiliated them today in their own park. Scored 26 runs in two games and got away with starting Ponson. Red Sox have to be completely demoralized. They now know that if they sweep the next three games that they will still trail the Yanks, ouch. Torre got away with starting Ponson and now its Johnson, Mussina, and Wright. Cano is the stud I railed on about for all that time he was hurt. He makes all the difference. God help the rest of the league if we get back Sheffield. That will just be silly.

[Gander]

Demoralizing, yes but if we win these next 3, we'll be moralized!
Last night was painful to watch.

Hey, tomorrow at least I can relax and root for Tiger and the Lava Man, 2 of the greatest stories in their respective sports. Thats at least a beam of light on this otherwise very depressing Saturday morning.

Robby Cano is a terrific player - it's a shame he missed so much time this year. So much for the Yankee farm system not producing anything......and what about Melky? The kid is terrific and plays with such energy.......and now leads the league in outfield assists.....I'd really like to find a way for him to be a starter next year, but I don't see any way that's possible, not with Matsui coming back.

I'm liking a repeat in the World Series between the White Sox and Astros more and more each day. The White Sox lead the wildcard and the Astros are only 4 back now in their wildcard chase. I look for these 2 teams to be playing longer than anybody else.

Gander you are letting your dislike of the Yankees interfere with your interpretation of reality. The Yankees have the most incredible hitting lineup I have seen in baseball. Face it, if they get either Sheffield or Matsui back its just gonna be even more insane. They just mentally and physically exhaust pitchers. There is noone to pitch around. Every out is a struggle and once they get something going in an inning they score bursts of runs that demoralize another team. The Yankees are world series bound.

[SCUDSBROTHER]

Back to reality here.The score was 14-10 because you both got shtty pitchin'.Let me enlighten folks here about this grand mystery of why the Angels(a team 5 games over .500)can hang with the YANKS.The Halos have got very good starters.Yes,they are weak- minded lazy people,but when they have a chance to beat the most popular team in America,they can do it 50-60% of the time.The Halo hitting is easily stopped by very good starting pitching(something you don't have.)

Equation:

Very good starter for Halos can go 6- 7 innings ,and tie up mighty Yank bats + ........Average

starter for Yanks(can't keep Halos from getting 2-5 runs)=Halo win


Yeah,you can go through Boston's shtty pitching,and outslug them,but can you beat a good starter? Not usually.You had the starting pitching in the glory years of the 90's.You are kid'n yourself if you think Too Fong Woo,Wright,Johnson,Mussina etc. are good enough to hold up in a pitcher's duel.They aren't.You will get beat in the post by a team with better starters.

13-5 Yankees so far today after Cano's three run blast...this is a tail-whoopin' by any measure!

[Downthestretch55]

Boston should have sent out their pitcher with a white flag in the first inning.
They are getting seriously embarrassed.
