Red Sox v Yankees--The Holy War Continues
05/09/06 | misterrob

Posted on 05/09/2006 4:03:54 PM PDT by misterrob

The saga continues in the Bronx this week. The Sox send out Beckett, Wakefield and Schilling. The Yankees counter with Randy Johnson, Mike Mussina and Shawn Chacon.

The New York Post ran a back cover story questioning why anyone has not dared to throw at David Ortiz.. (maybe because he is 6' 4" and weighs 250 lbs) Sox offseason pickup Josh Beckett returns to Yankee Stadium for the first time since Game 6 of the 2003 World Series.

Series returns to NY after an abbreviated series last week in Boston where Boston fans expressed their true feelings about Johnny Damon.

NESN after game show is on. Eck is all over Beckett's case for how he did tonight.

Eck used the word "alarming" at least four times on the post-game show regarding Beckett's performance tonight...

Beckett is a tad bit immature in my opinion. He is in love with his fastball and tries to throw it by people. When he grows up and learns how to pitch he will become a star. Until then he will have nights like this or like he had in Toronto when he hit some guys and his teammates had to eat the retaliation.

I totally agree. At least Beckett handled his post-game interview tonight - the clips they showed on NESN anyway - in a mature fashion. In his post-game interviews after that disasterous Toronto game, he came across as an immature, arrogant punk, IMO...

The Marlins had a pitcher named Josh Beckett who beat the Yanks in Game 6 of the '03 World Series (deciding game).
Shut them out. Must not be the same guy.

...oh wait. It is. :(

It was called Tapas. I never did get my meal. Finally left. No, could not hear what they were talking about except that one of the wives came in well after the others and they commented on her "wrap" (read that very skimpy). She did a swirl to be noticed by me..I think...since she looked over her shoulder at me. I just rolled my eyes and laughed.

Hansen called up

By Chris Snow, Globe Staff
The Red Sox today recalled righthanded pitcher Craig Hansen from Triple-A Pawtucket. To make room for Hansen, reliever Jermaine Van Buren was optioned back to the PawSox.

David Wells will travel to San Diego sometime in the next three days to visit with Dr. Jan Fronek to get a second opinion on his contused right knee. Dr. Fronek operated on Wells's right knee in the offseason.

Mike Timlin, who is eligible to come off the disabled list Saturday, is now not expected to pitch for the Sox until Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.

Terry Francona said Keith Foulke would be looked at [by the Sox medical staff] this afternoon and that the team "may be forced into making a move." Foulke has had back stiffness recently.

Tonight's lineups:

Red Sox
1. Coco Crisp, CF
2. Mark Loretta, 2B
3. David Ortiz, DH
4. Manny Ramirez, LF
5. Trot Nixon, RF
6. Jason Varitek, C
7. Mike Lowell, 3B
8. Kevin Youkilis, 1B
9. Alex Cora, SS
-- David Pauley, SP

Yankees
1. Johnny Damon, CF
2. Melky Cabrera, LF
3. Jason Giambi, DH
4. Alex Rodriguez, 3B
5. Jorge Posada, C
6. Robinson Cano, 2B
7. Andy Phillips, 1B
8. Bernie Williams, RF
9. Miguel Cairo, SS
-- Chien-Ming Wang, SP

Well, after last night's ass reaming by the Yanks, the Sox look to rebound with the immortal David Pauly facing Chien-Ming Wang.

Let's hope they make a better showing tonight!

Oh boy... here we go. Perhaps we should pray for the poor kid David Pauley being thrown to the wolves. ;-)

Nice K on Gay-Rod!!!

If this kid can get a curve ball over then he can pitch in the big leagues.

It isn't about how hard you can throw it, it's making it move, changing speeds and staying near the K zone that matters.

And Papi goes deep. Nice shot but would be nice if he could have a man or two on base in front of him.

Yeah, how 'bout that?!

And Big Papi homers! (Sure wish those bases were loaded though).

Doesn't sound like there are many Sox fans there tonight... Now the classy Yankee fans are chanting in unison "Boston sucks!"

LOL. NESN training their cameras on Sopranos' "Bobby Baccala", sitting behind the Yankees' dugout. He looks like so many Yank fans my husband and I always run into at Yankee Stadium, except they are in (too tight) Yankee pinstripe jerseys, and aren't smiling like "Bobby" is right now... ;-)

Is it customary to do a curtain call after every home run in Yankee stadium?

Yes, I'm pretty sure it is.

Damn... Getting-drunker-by-the-minute Yankee crowd getting pumped and more obnoxious than ever...
