Yankees vs. Redsox

Here we go again the biggest rivalery in sports play thier first game today any predication?

Me Andy pitches great, A-rod hits another homer, and schilling gets rocked...7-2 is the game..

Red Sox will rock pettite with 5 runs in 4 innings. Home runs by ramirez and lowell..Schilling will shut down yanks offense until the 7th when he gives up two run homer to arod...Red Sox win 9 to 4..

Either way it goes, there was no curse. Your team just sucked for 86 years. Reverse that.

Wow so since you guys have had nothing to brag about for this decade you have to bring up the past, great arguement.

 Pettitte and Schilling will both have bad games, but the Red Sox win 9-7.

the sox will be looking for some revenge for that 5 game sweep from last season, manny will go 3-4 with a homer and a double, schilling 9 ks, pettite taking out after 4 1/2 innings..... sox win 5-2

Either way it goes, there was no curse. Your team just sucked for 86 years. Reverse that.

How rude, LOL. 

I want to see how Matsuzaka does against a yankees lineup this good.

Yankees are going to win with Mariano Rivera getting his first save by a score of 7 to 5. Arod goes 3 for 5 with a home run.

Big Papi & Papelbon

Go BoSox!!!!

Yanks Vs. Sox

Its the reason baseball is alive:!

wait, you're telling me Damon, Jeter, Cano, Cabrera, and Abreu are swing and miss hitters who will falter against first pitch strikes and breaking balls out of the zone? It's been proven time and again that the yankees are one of the most patient hitting teams in the MLB, and they aren't as much focused on power as they were two to four years ago.

QFT. Add Matsui to the list as well. Giambi is also a notoriously patient hitter despite his power. The Yankee lineup, when healthy, is as complete and dangerous a lineup as you're gonna see in the majors. Sure they aren't unbeatable but coming up with a gameplan to shut them down is much easier said than done. Fear them! :twisted:

A-Rod is on another level, Pettitte is pitching well, the NY bullpen has been surprisingly steady and the Yankees will take it tonight. The rest of the weekend gets a bit tougher with NY throwing out two replacements against two aces, but with those bats anything can happen. If Wang returns for Sunday that game will have a stellar pitching matchup, should be a fun series all around.

Yep yankees are potent offense 'cause of thier patience and bats...

Ummm, "swing and miss type lineup" :roll:...lets do as if you didn't say that and I will forget it.

How about that crazy rendition of the star spangled banner!

THAT was cool!

Ladies and gentlemen.... THAT is why we watch baseball.Robbie_IV

not for me it's not...

I'm impressed by the Sox's closer.  He did a pretty good job being a rookie and all.  I can't imagine how hard it is for 'Tech and him to communicate over pitches and batters.

Also, you'd think that the Yanks would learn about sending Rivera out against the Sox.  They manhandled him, as always.

Braves/Mets game was better 8) 

No way is this thread ending in a Braves fan posting "the Braves game was better"

A-rod had a great game but in the end it was the Red Sox who had the timely hits and better pitching.

Go sox! 2nd game today 3:55 pm

I don't understand why Torre would have not pitched Farnsworth in the 8th, or better yet save Proctor for the set-up role. Vizcaiano has been overtaxed, and was awful in his last outing. In the end though after all of Alex's heroics, I can't see anyway the Yankees can bounce back today. Even though I think Beckett is due to get smacked around and pitched to a 9.00 something era against the Yanks last season.

Next weeks series with Wang, Mussina and Matsui healthy, will be a stronger barometer of where these two teams will end up when the smoke clears. 

I still can't believe the best closer in history screwed that game up...but good for the Red Soxdkhw

Yeah, Rivera blew it, but do any other Yankee fans out there get seriously pissed off when Torre throws Rivera into the worst possible situations like last night, basically setting him up to fail if he isn't up to his hall of fame caliber? I have faith in the guy but if you're going to bring him in during the 8th, do it when he's got a little room to work with or at the beginning of the inning. So frustrating. Good game Sox fans, we'll get ya back tonight..

Rivera was rushed in.  He has a very specific routine he does to get warmed up, and what happened to the "not having Mo come in until the 9th" thing that was going on this spring?  Proctor and Farnsworth are on the team for a reason.  You had 3 runs to give, no need to rush Mo out there.  And Vizcaino is worthless, he needs to stop pitching.  IMO, this one is on Torre.  Terrible end game management.

Poor him.

The Red Sox own Rivera. He's blown a save against them 12 times in the past 3 or 4 years. The Red Sox have his number. It started in the 2004 ALCS.
