I wonder who he'll hit tonight.

I personally hope he hits lots of bats today. Right on the sweet spot. Hey, there's an idea...how about they have a professional artist draw Karim Garcia's head and shoulders on the sweet spot of all the Yankee bats?

[demlosers]

According to McCarver, Pedro fastball didn't register past 90. He thinks something wrong with Pedro's arm and the Red Sox are keeping it mum. He did throw an inordinate amount of off-spead stuff in game 3.

If Pedro has his stuff, he's the best pitcher in baseball.

[demlosers]

Mayor Bloomberg will attempt to have him prosecuted.

Bloomberg's BS comments was nothing but taking advantage of a situation for political opportunity by shilling to Yankee fans.

If Pedro does have a HBP in this game, I doubt Bloomberg can have him prosecuted...talk about frivolous abuse of power. Pedro probably would sue the mayor's butt off.

I think Pedro needs to appologize for headhunting Karim Garcia

Headhunter? Compared to what? Now Bob Gibson, that was a headhunter. No apologies necessary....

[freebilly]

And I understand that if Pedro hits anyone, Mayor Bloomberg will attempt to have him prosecuted

Bloomberg, another liberal idiot....

[freebilly]

Anything less goes against decades of Yankee and Red Sox history. Trust me!

If history gets revised tonight, will we ever trust you again?

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

No argument there. Though the Yankees do seem to do unuaually well against him. Maybe that's partly because they play so many games head-to-head every year.

If personal history tells us anything, it would say you can trust me again, since no one is right 100% of the time! I still remain trustworthy!

[Semper Paratus]

Best line I heard today was:

"The Red Sox killed my father, now they're coming after me."

[truthandjustice1]

"I need to check who I'm OOOOMMMMMing with."

It worked. Try it tonight!

I have rarely seen a Major Leaguer taking wild hacks at air the way Boone has.

I guess you've been taking a leak or grabbing a beer from the fridge every time Soriano comes to the plate.

Seriously -- I've watched a few of these games and I am actually appalled (as a baseball fan) at what I've been seeing from the Yankees. Since the incident on the field in Game 3 at Fenway, I think the Yankees must have set some kind of record for the most times their hitters have been down 0-2 in the count. I don't think I've even seen Little League players swing at so many bad 0-0 and 0-1 pitches.

Swinging at the first pitch on a regular basis is bad enough -- swinging at a first pitch that is six inches out of the strike zone is a disgrace.

26 yhis year, a new record. The Yankees won 14 of them and the Red Sox won 12. But the Yankees won the most important one.

Yeah, that last hack was really bad, wasn't it? I have a feeling that in New England, Boone now has the same "middle name" as Bucky Dent.

[Alberta's Child]

If Soriano had hit a home run to win the game, it still would not have changed the fact that he has looked like absolute sh!t for most of this series.

I am going to impose a curse of my own on the Yankees: They won't win a World Series as long as Soriano's on the roster.

[TBP]

Don't bet on that, my friend. The Yankees will squish the Fish.
