Wow. The Yankees really don't have much pitching. Still, I've thought that Rivera was toast before, and he's come back strong.

Hard to see Clemens signing with the Yankees if things continue like this. Unless it's only for the money. They are not a team that is one pitcher away from being good. More like five.

Would you take Clemens if it means that Lester has to stay in the minors for the remainder of year.....

So far this season, Mariano has allowed 2 more runs than Papelbon allowed all of last season

You can never have too much pitching. One of our pitchers is sure to go down for a month or two this year. It always happens. Clemens bumps Tavarez, and Lester fills in for the starter who gets injured.

Even though it's WAY early, we look like we have enough to win without Clemens anyway.

I wouldn't take Clemens unless the money being spent doesn't hinder anything else. I don't think he's more than a good #4 pitcher in the AL East and he'd only be going 5-6 innings per outing. Let the Yankees give him 13 million dollars for 3 months.

LOL @ Mariano Rivera.

I almost feel bad for Mo. He's not getting regular work so his control seems off and he just looks so lost out there. I think he'll get his **** together and pitch well for the rest of the reason once the starters stop dying in the 5th inning but he's been living on one pitch that the Sox are not scared of so we'll see. mahalo

Will he really want to join the Yanks if they are 10+ games back in July?

Karstens has already left the game for the Yanks after two batters, now the Sox have to deal with Igawa...

Post #32 » by **Flaming Mo** » Sat Apr 28, 2007 8:57 pm

How in hell can we strike out and hit into double plays against Kei freaking Igawa?!! :banghead:

Geeez, the bats have me a bit worried so far...

Good ole Wakefield, giving up the bomb. Well, hopefully the bats can come alive against this stiff with a 16 ERA.

Man, this is beyond pathetic... 1 hit in 5 innings against that clown...

It is typical of the Sox to allow a team with a hack pitching to rebound rather than kick the crap out of him. Give Wake credit, he is at least keeping them in it. They have a opportunity to put the Yanks away early, and they'll allow them to stay in it. It is only April, but they Yanks are reeling right now, why stop the bleeding?

Yeah and I don't want to hear about Igawa turning anything around. It happened before with the Sox, they just have days when they let crappy pitchers look dominant. Just think of opening day against Gil Meche for example or Tomo Okha last week. I mean this guy threw a ball over everybody at the plate, he is walking people, doesn't have any special stuff and got rocked almost anytime out before this game...

Well, as you said, the Sox are still in it but it isn't looking good right now. I don't see anyone who can get us going offensively.. But there's a lot of baseball left...

Wow. Am I the only one who didn't think that any of those three pitches against Coco was a strike? Yankee Stadium...

Post #38 » by **Flaming Mo** » Sat Apr 28, 2007 11:03 pm

Ha, Crisp just got kicked out of the game... he had a point though, that pitch looked outside in my opinion.

Okajima, keeps us in it going into the seventh...

Post #40 » by **Flaming Mo** » Sun Apr 29, 2007 8:01 pm

We had Tavarez going against Wang and we lead 7-4 in the 8th, gotta like that...

Papi, Cora and Manny with the long balls!!!
