A good win tonight for those Yanks. Looking for that sweep tomorrow against da Rangers

A great sweep for the Yanks!

Can't wait for the series to start. Less than 21 hrs.

Helloooooooooooo????????? What you got nothing to say? You guys got DOMINATED tonight. Nothing much more to be said.

Yeah and um, it's 1 game. Your point being...

Fear not, Yankee fans. This is probably the greatest thing that could have happened to us. The Boss got to see first hand Randy Johnson's ineffectiveness, and should provide him with enough rage to send Cashman to Houston immediately to sign Roger Clemens. No doubt, Steinbrenner hates losing to Boston, and if anything, this solidified our chances of going after him vehemently.

The Big Eunuch.

I am sad to say that the Yankees got in their own home.

And Boston left a bunch of guys on base also.


Overheard from some Boston Fans:

I've got your Johnson right here.

Double J, you can bet on it.

What would old Georgie do if he didn't have all that $$$$

Steinbrenner couldn't play the ESPN Salary Cap Game, that's for sure.

After the way Clemens "retired" from the Yankees, enjoyed a day in his honor, and then signed with Houston, I doubt if George has any plans to go after "The Rocket".

Even if he does, though, I don't think he has much of a chance of getting him.

At this point, I don't think that money is the issue for Clemens (or he never would have sat out the first part of this season), and the situation in Houston is too perfect for him.

I also think he'd be too afraid of the reception he'd get from the fans if he tried to come back to New York.

But I wouldn't worry, Yankee fans. I don't think Boston has any chance of signing him either.

Yanks spank Schilling

Yanks win 7-3

What ya gotta say TonyWillLive

No question, Mussina is the real ace of this rotation.

Even if Clemens isn't available (and he is, though he shows the inclination of returning to Houston his "heart" has always led him where it will enrich his pocketbook), hopefully they could find a way to get someone like Zito or even Willis.

And while I am on the Randy Johnson sucks bandwagon right now, it should be noted that he does tend to come around later in the season (like last year). That's still no excuse for being absolutely useless on the mound. But I think when they showed his eyes two days ago on YES - its clear he doesn't have that mean streak anymore. He went from being a pitcher that threw with an attitude of "hit this if you can" to now "please, don't hit this."

Then would you plese tell Curt to stop pitching :p

No words of wisdom today after the Yanks win last night? Oh that's right I forgot, you only like to post when the Yankees LOSE

That was a tough one. I was listening last night on the Radio b/c I was working late. I wanted to come on but, no dice. That lineup is scary, makes me appreciate what Beckett did the other night even more. Should be interesting to see how the Yanks respond to the knuckleball tonight. The Sox have hit Chacon well in the past.

The current Yanks usually have trouble with Wakefield.

He's 4-6 in 13 starts with a 3.59 E.R.A. against the Yankees since 2003, but 2-2 with a 2.37 in 6 starts at Yankee Stadium.

The only current Yankeees who hit him reasonably well are Jeter (.293 with 3 HRs in 75 ABs) and A Rod (.246 with 4 HRs in 57 ABs).

Yeah in the past couple of years Wakefield has been, gulp, a "Yankee-killer" of sorts. He does give us trouble everytime but I think the last time they played him last week they did reasonably well. Looks like good ol' Doug Mirabelli will get some PT tonight, huh TonyWillLive J/K

oh you know it buddy

That was a great game.

I haven't been able to watch any games since they don't air down here on TV. Tonight's did on ESPN but I work nights. I catch them in 2 weeks when I'm in New York on the YES Network. I can't f*cking believe Matsui is out for 3 months!

No one has said anything officially of course, but I have a feeling that Sheffield isn't ever gonna be 100% this season without surgery, and since the Yankees wouldn't extend his contract, he has said that he won't play hurt or partially hurt or whatever.

Can't really say as I blame him, either. The Yanks didn't show him any loyalty and he doesn't have a contract for next year, so why should he risk more serious injury by playing through this one?

Now with Matsui out, the Yanks better mke a deal for an outfielder from somewhere.

Suddenly, with Sheffield and Matsui both out, "all that offense" doesn't seem like all that much anymore.

Those two guys being out represent a loss of maybe 45-50+ homers, 1000+ at bats worth of maybe .300+ batting average, and 200+ RBIs, and the Yankees don't have anyone on their bench or in the minors that they can reasonably hope will produce anything close to those numbers.

So with Randy Johnson clearly proven as unreliable as an Ace, and two-thirds of their outfield missing, can we now say officially that "The Yankees are in trouble?"

definitely. now all they have in their lineup is Damon, Jeter, A-Rod, Giambi, Posada....

scary enough, but they will miss Sheff and Matsui.

after I sent my last post I realized that Schilling is in the same league as the Big Unit, but although I still believe Randy will get a LOT better, it seems to me that Schilling has a little more great stuff left than him.

What about Bubba and Melky? :rolleyes: Unofficially I thought they were in trouble anyway. The Big Eunuch, the decline of Mariano (is this the year?), A-Rod Mr. Unclutch.

Their hope rests in Jeter, Cano, Damon to make things happen, Giam-bino and A-Rod to clobber a few, Mussina to have a career year, Chacon and Wang to follow up last year and squeeze one more year out of Rivera. Is that asking too much?

I think the Yankees are in big trouble, oh did I mention we don't have Coco back yet.

yankees are gettin that 27th or torre is out

A great night for Wang tonight. What was that again about the Yankees needing to score 6 or more runs so he could win? :p

why should they fire Torre? Fuck, they are tied for the division with the Sox, so this is silly.

Besides, alot of people seem to not remember TRUE pain and fustration for the Yankees......early 90s anyone? You know, when they were fucking awful?

Well, at least the Yanks were in Oakland, which meant they didn't have to go far to find the administration for the Athletics so we can get Barry Zito. :p

Congrats to Kevin Brown...err...Randy Johnson on another wonderful start.

Can the Big Unit get ED? :p
