Red Sox - Yankees - The Final Showdown

[Keyser Soze]

if they live in the pool house they can at least clean the pool.

sox in 7, although i dont understand why they're pitching pedro second in hostile yankee stadium. he's a fragile little bitch, they should save him for the third game in boston.

[Goatweed]

the Star Wars intro was really awful until Zim's cameo at the end.

[GonzoStyle]

Red Sox have their best shot in a while to finally win but until they do, I still gotta stand by the yanks.

[GonzoStyle]

so much for the dominance of schilling.

Mussina is in the zone though.

[Goatweed]

he was...then he lost all his gas. damn.

[GonzoStyle]

The curse of the gonzino.

[drusilla]

no curse yet, maybe just a jinx (but not a bad one)

[The Jays]

I'd rather blame Gonzo for giving up seven runs rather than the Yankee pitching staff... then again, they gave up 10

[GonzoStyle]

Sometimes I really don't understand how powerful I am.

[Galt]

So Schilling is fine all year, then right before the Yankee series he get hurt. Why does this always happen? Who signed the pact with Satan?

[The Jays]

The game wasn't even the usual come-from-behind Yankee win.

[Galt]

The Yanks fans have to feel great that the vaunted bullpen let up 5 runs in two innings. That the Sox somehow made it a game after such a stomach punch.

[Goatweed]

a win is a win :5:

[The Jays]

Both starters gave up runs, both bullpens gave up runs, but what it came down to was Mussina's first six innings, and Mariano's last; both offenses never give up, and are always trying to pile on run support.

[Galt]

yeah, but the Red Sox bullpen gave up 4 runs in 6 innings. The Yankees bullpen gave up 5 runs in 3 innings.

[GonzoStyle]

actually the yankee bullpen gave up 3 in 2.1, 2 runners were still mussinas.

[The Jays]

oh sna

[Galt]

5 runs scored while the relievers were pitching. One of the key statistics used in measuring the quality of a reliever is "inherited runners scored"

The yankees relievers allowed 5 to score.

[GonzoStyle]

whatever helps you cope.

[Galt]

It's definitely not a good thing that the sox lost, and definitely like that that Yanks win tonight. Essentially, the Sox changes disappeared in the 3rd inning.

The fact that the yanks bullpen made it a game however, can't be a good sign for them.
