Red Sox vs Yankees 2007--Seasonal Thread
04/20/07 | Misterrob

Posted on 04/20/2007 8:07:32 AM PDT by misterrob

The Sox and Yankees are resuming their long standing rivalry with and a mix of old and new faces. The Sox have upgraded their team with additions of JD Drew, Julio Lugo and Dice-K. The Yankees return with changes to the starting rotation and the subtraction of Gary Sheffield. Both teams figure to compete deep into the season.

For two states without much to brag about with respect to their elected officials,

Chucky and Hidabeast vs the Flip Flopping Gigalo and the Swimmer

or

The Spitter vs Coupe Deval

Here's to another season of Yankees vs Red Sox on FR!

It was so cold in the right field roof seats last Saturday that two of those chemical hand-warmers did not even keep me warm and they ran out of hot beverages. For the Fenway fans sake, I hope the weather is much better this weekend.

Hey, we were at Fenway last Saturday also... over in Section 33. We weren't that cold at all... the weather felt almost balmy to me compared to what we had here in Connecticut this winter (particularly in February). You may have gotten a little more wind up on the right field roof seats, though.

The weather at Fenway this weekend should be in the mid-to-high 60s during the day, and in the 40s/50s at night...

I’ll be there tonight to see Schill shut ‘em down.

Great hitting may win games, but great pitching wins seasons.

How’s the starting rotation going? They gonna start using the fans?

I was in love with Fisk when I was 12 years old. My family thought I was nuts. I have a scrapbook I made all of Carlton. I must say he still looks good!

Doesn't he hold the record for the most games caught? (2,226)

Lordy... all this makes me realize how much I miss him in the game.

Finally; extended spring training ends and the real regular season begins.

By means of introduction: I was born in Franklin, Mass., 9 miles north of Providence, RI and about 20 miles SW of Fenway. My first game at Fenway was about 1963, back when the bleachers were 50 cents and were actual long wooden benches with numbers stenciled every 16 inches. The Red Sox were NOT a good team then and when I yelled at Frank Howard in right field (Washington Senators for you children) he actually heard me because the ball park was almost empty, for which I was rewarded liberally by my father and uncle. I remember the Impossible Dream, when they might have won the World Series if Bernie Carbo and his manager could have gotten along, and then Lonborg decided to go skiing. I remember when Rico Petrocelli fell down rounding 3rd base and the Detroit Tigers beat them for the pennant by a 1/2 game. I remember 1975 and Bucky F**king Dent. I remember 1986, when Bill Buckner let the ball go through his legs (but he didn’t deserve the $shitstorm that followed, maybe someone should have hit a ball or two). I remember all the great-hit no-pitch teams. I remember all the close calls. I have my program from that 1963 game still, with a 6th grade New England kid’s hopeless attempt to spell “Yazstremski” in it.

A true Red Sox fan, when the last ball got hit back to the pitcher at the end of the World Series, I jumped up not to cheer but to yell “DON’T BLOW THIS” as in my mind’s eye I saw the throw to first go over the 1st baseman’s head into the dugout or the stands. But no ... no, 2004 really happened, my 82-year-old father didn’t think he was going to see the day, but he did.

My last games in Fenway was the weekend Schilling came back from his injury and gave up a 2-run home run in relief to the MFY to A-Rod to lose 8-6, and the next game when David Wells beat some AAA victim the Yankees sent out there 17-2, as Trot Nixon hit an inside-the-park HR and Ortiz hit a Grand Slam, the only time the Red Sox have ever done both in the same game in Fenway. My last Red Sox game was at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago (the area I live in now) during the 1995 playoffs, when I almost got assaulted by a drunken White Sox fan after I dared to stand up and cheer when the Red Sox were rallying (and failing, unfortunately). I should add, though, that two other White Sox fans came up to me and apologized later.

Let the games begin! A-Rod slaps balls!

Yeah, but he did beat the Yankees in game 5 of the 2003 WS.

That’s good enough for me.

I recall the 17-2 game. I believe that was the game that Joe Buck said, “And Paul Quantrill isn’t fooling anyone today...”
