Yanks spank Schilling

Yanks win 7-3

What ya gotta say TonyWillLive

Much as I LOVE watching the Yanks beat the Sox ... I have a little bit of a soft spot in my heart for Curt Schilling, ever since the morning after winning the 2004 World Series he told everyone (in a Good Morning America interview) to '...get out and vote, and vote for George W. Bush.'

Funny how they're now comparing him to Randy Johnson in terms of being a bit past his prime. Mostly due to the back-to-back losses I suppose.

What back-to-back losses?

Boston hasn't lost two games in a row with Schilling as the starter since July of 2004.

I think Apple is implying that Randy Johnson lost and is being called past his prime, and now Schilling lost and the same is being said about him?

Though I'll let Apple clarify.

Yes Double-J, you are correct.

Basic text of what I've been hearing on the radio this morning:

"Like his former teammate Randy Johnson the night before, Curt Schilling got trounced last night and let's face it neither has the stuff they used to have."

Also there were references to the ages of both men, Shilling about to turn 40 and Randy in his early 40's - something like that.

well I didn't know Curt ever said that. that makes me a little bit less of a fan of him. I don't use to judge people for their opinions but I could change that when they say they like Georgey Bush.

To be honest, I can completely understand where you're coming from Tony Mosrite...I can only hope to GOD we never see the day when Derek Jeter comes out and endorses Hillary Clinton, or for that matter anybody equally on the left.

Tough loss last night. The Yanks lineup is really good. Lets see them hit that fucking knuckleball though. To the real leader of the Sox "Get these fuckers out!" My prediction: 6-3 Red Sox

Great game tonight! Papelbon was great.

Hey we may get to see some baseball today go get 'em Beckett.

What a game! The O's SUCK. They may worse than the Devil Rays if thats possible. Oh yea heres to the Mets trade of Zambrano for Kazmir...Good Call.

mets were the ones who originally dished out kazmir

Hey guy above me we all know that. I said it in the post before you.

Nice win against a very hot phillies team last night. Ryan Howard scares the shit out of me when hes up at bat. Clement looked solid.

Heres hoping we take 2 out of 3.

Damon smacked a home run in front of the "Fenway Faithful" I bet you he heard it from the crowd

How'd you enjoy that a$$ kicking beantown!? 13-5 and the Yanks move into first. Another steller performance by Moose and I was so happy to see Josh Beckett leave after just 1 1/3 after giving up 8 runs

Nice win last night by our Sox. Look for the Sox to go on run over the next 3 weeks.

Why?

sometimes you just get a feeling like when the Yankees were down by two to the Braves in '96 didn't you get the feeling that they were going to come back? well thats what i'm talking about.

-By the way the Boston Red Sox are 8-5 since I posted that prediction however they have won 5 straight. Next week against the Mets will be a real test to the advantage the AL has on the NL. What i'm trying to say is you have the best team in the NL against one of the best in the AL.

Eight in a row for the Sox.

10 IN A ROW BABY!!!!!!!!!

Don't worry, they'll go on a cold streak as well

Depends what you call a "cold streak".

For a contender like the Red Sox, a cold strak could mean a 10 or 20 game stretch when they play .500 ball or slightly worse, which is about what the Yankees are doing right now (they've lost 11 of their last 19, a .421 pace.)

I don't expect the kind of cold streak in which they lose 8 or 9 out of 10 or 15 or 16 out of 20 or anything like that.

That just doesn't happen to teams that are as good as the Sox.

-12 in a row baby

-15 games w/o an error!

Well not much you can say as a Red Sox fan these days, I was at the game today. But I have to show up and take my lumps like a man. It'll be tough to come back from this one the hope in my opinion is to bring it within 4-5 games when we head into the Bronx.

6 wins, 13 losses since August 1st.

I see Dustin Pedroia is making his debut as the Sox's SS. with everything going wrong, all the Red Sox have left is their prospects and this guy is their last big hope in the farm system that hasn't been traded away or that is already struggling in the mound. (except the guy is named Jon Papelbon).

well he just GIDP with the bases loaded and 1 out in his first AB ever while I was writting this :p . unassisted double play by Orlando Cabrera
