Lets go ya bean and lobster loving creatons ....... lets GET IT ON

Paplebon is turing into Pimplebon

I think it'll be a 4 game Yankee lead in the AL East at the end of the series. Cano is back, and he's going to continue to show why he's an All-Star and Jete will show why he's in the running for the MVP. Ya'll Sox fans better prayer ole Boomer has some drinks in him, b/c otherwise that's already a win for the Yankees.

ctsoxfan · August 15, 2006 7:08AM

Oh no - Cano is back?

Now I'm really nervous.

softparade · August 15, 2006 7:19AM

I hear ya Jerry, guys like Youkalaylee

have me shaken in the boots too

ctsoxfan · August 15, 2006 7:23AM

Well, we do have this guy -

And you guys have this guy -

So, I like our chances.

softparade · August 15, 2006 8:10AM

Ortiz is GREAT! No doubt.

Look at that fat a$$ body though on those chicken legs. I bet he is done before Damon is

bri2327 · August 15, 2006 8:16AM

I say they just walk Ortiz and Manny every time up for the 5 games. Let one of the other 7 chumps try and win it for em.

perkdog · August 15, 2006 8:24AM

Hey chumps or no chumps you guys cant shake us off just like we couldn't shake you off either.

There really is not a better series to get charged up for in all of sports IMO when the division lead hangs in the balance........

bri2327 · August 15, 2006 8:33AM

You got that right Perk. It really is amazing to see how this thing developed over the last 10 or so years. As much as I dislike the Sox it makes for some baseball every year.

Your right on there. NO Rivalry compares. None.

DirtyHarry · August 15, 2006 10:58AM

It doesn't get much better than this....except, of course, post season. Hoorahhhh. Let the better man win.

The time for talk is now over.
The series starts Friday with the Yankees either being up 1 1/2 games or 2 1/2 games.
Starting Pitchers:
Friday game one Wang Vs Lester
Friday game two Ponson Vs Johnson
Saturday Johnson Vs Beckett
Sunday Mussina Vs Schilling
Monday Lidle Vs Wells (this pitching match up has yet to be decided but seems very logical)

Match-ups could not really be any better. The Yankees young gun versus the Sox young gun. The Yankees reject versus the Sox reject. The Yankee pitcher not living up to expectations versus the Sox pitcher not living up to expectations. The two aces. Last, a couple of pitchers who have not pitched much this season for their respective teams. Should be fun!!!!!!

ctsoxfan · August 16, 2006 1:33PM

I love the Friday matchups in particular - Wang is not a good pitcher on the road (5.16 ERA) and he strikes out basically no one, while Lester going during the day is a good thing (lefty pitchers have an edge at Fenway during day games). Ponson is just Ponson, I could go out there and pitch and the Sox would have the edge there.

Beckett needs to step up Saturday, Schilling has been pitching very well of late, and Wells looked decent tonight. The only pitcher from the Yanks who worries you is Mussina, and barely a little at that. Lidle has struggled since the Phils dumped him - let's hope that continues.

The Sox need four wins to have a shot at the playoffs. Anything less and it won't even come down to the final week. Yankees take the first three because they hit better, the Sox take the last two because they like to give their fans false hope.

Don't worry Sox fans, your Yankee buddies will be golfing with you 5 days into the post season.

This five game series has got about everything you could want - the best rivalry in baseball and a tight race
with the games meaning something. No wonder ESPN has been giving it so much attention.

Would it be safe to be a Yankee fan in Fenway park this weekend wearing Yankee clothing and waving a Yankee flag?

yankeeno7 · August 18, 2006 2:13AM

Here we go....Damon hit a leadoff triple...I hope this is a sign!!! Go Yankees!

softparade · August 19, 2006 6:22AM

With the series already won, time for the Yanks to focus on a SWEEP

thegemmintman · August 19, 2006 6:56AM

<< With the series already won, time for the Yanks to focus on a SWEEP >>

50 runs in 5 games would be cool

Jerry,

Before you go into the predictable diatribe about how tough a time you think the Yankees will have in the post-season just remember that not more than a month ago you were yapping about the Sox and Blue Jays finishing ahead of them and about how the Yankees "brass" did not plan for "what has happened to them"

ctsoxfan-Funny, Cano has as many RBI as Manny and Ortiz have COMBINED.

Jete? He came through again when it was down to him.

RANDYMOSS84 · August 21, 2006 12:25AM

Last day before University starts back up and a yankee/sox game to go out on. Pretty sweet.

RonBurgundy · August 21, 2006 5:18AM

Welcome to the most overrated, overhyped, overplayed so called rivalry in sports.

I am not a Yankees fan by any stretch - as a matter of fact, I hate them and the fact that they make baseball unenjoyable to watch - BUT:

1) They are light years better than Boston this year.

2) Boston will not make the playoffs.

3) 26 WS titles to one since 1918 does not equate to a "rivalry".

4) Many of Boston's fans - who have progressed into being boorish and obnoxious since 2004 - will deserve this failure by this year's edition to make the postseason. They'll have to live with the fact that they are AL's 5th or 6th best team.

Ron

PS. If NYY makes it to the WS, I will not watch a single pitch. I didn't watch a single pitch the last time they were there (2003) and I won't do it this year.

Yankees / Red Sox 5 game series !!!!
