That video package was awesome.

[Guest Anglesault]

while you're currently watching the Red Sox and Yankees go to battle, history could be made as David Wells is one strike away from throwing a perfect game. The crowd at Petco are on the edge of their seats. Of course, we are obligated by jaded fans to keep coverage here at Yankee Stadium.

Considering that people watching the game probably (just a hunch) wanted to see the Yankees and/or the Red Sox play, uhm, yeah.

You are officially the most myopic person who posts at this board, congratulations.

Am I?

 

I'd say it's a fairly safe bet that anyone watching a Yankee/Red Sox game in September wants to see THAT GAME. If they so desperately wanted to see the perfect game, they can go find the damn thing on another channel. That's what I did for Johnson. I found the Superstation or some such business and watched the game.

 

If you can't find it, oh well. You'll see it on Sportscenter that night.

Yankees about to bust the game open in the 1st

 

Lowe walks Williams with the bases loaded, 1-0 Yankees, bases remain loaded

[strummer 0]

Lowe getting lit up, 3-0 Yankees, still have 1st and third

 

Edit: 5-0 Yankees after Lowe makes a dumb mistake trying to get Bernie Williams going off 3rd after a comebacker by Olerud.

I hate Derek Lowe.

Since college football has filled up about 14 of the sports channels, looks like I'll need to find something else to watch today. I figured the Yanks/Sox game would be on, but no go here. Yanks are already laying it on, as they lead 5-0 already in the first. Sox will surely make it interesting before it's said and done, though.

This is pathetic..get Lowe out of there.

[strummer 0]

well Lowe is out of the game, but for an injury, after taking a line drive to the ankle

Blessing in disguise.

Please don't rain.

 

PLEASE.

[tpww7 0]

RAIN NOW.

[the max 0]

Hooray. 7-0 in the bottom of the second.

[mike546 0]

Honestly, with it being in Yankee Stadium, and how both teams don't have off days together, I think they'll wait the whole day to get this game in.

[tpww7 0]

We can come back...

 

Um..

 

I hope.

[Bruiser Chong 0]

I'd say the bottom has fallen out for the Sox in this one. Looks like everything that could possibly go wrong has gone wrong. Errors, wild pitches, lots of runs given up, no offense and walks in full force for the Sox today.

[tpww7 0]

We got an out!

[tpww7 0]

And..

 

Now the umpire helps the Yanks out as if they need it right now.

Does anyone else think Terry Adams looks like the Big Show?

You know, I'm "watching" the game via MLB's Gameday and looking at his profile pic, I thought the exact same thing and was even considering posting about it here.

Is Arroyo the Sox third starter in the playoffs? With how had Wakes been, and Lowe's injury, is there anybody else?

[Slayer 0]

Well, at least there's good college football on today

 

*turns to see Michigan struggling against SDSU* ...I can't get a break today

[mike546 0]

Its gonna come down to Moose and Pedro tomorrow.

 

Why does it seem like they face each other in EVERY rubber game the Sox and Yankees have?

I guess it would have to be Martinez-Schilling-Arroyo-Wakefield then.

 

Then you have New York's Hernandez-Mussina-Lieber-Vasquez and if pitching is what gets you through the playoffs...God I hope we don't have A's and Twins in the ALCS.

[mike546 0]

I actually think that if the Yankees split Schilling/Pedro in the first two games, they have a chance.

[Bruiser Chong 0]

Looks like this one's over. Francona just took out half the starting lineup.

[Bruiser Chong 0]

I didn't even realize until just now that the Red Sox aren't just being shut out, they're being no-hit. Can't understand why he'd pull half the starters when the top of the lineup was due in the 7th.

stupid stupid wind.

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

Here's a trivia question. Name two pitchers who surrendered home runs to both Barry Bonds and Hank Aaron.

[Brett Favre 0]

Jesse Orosco and Nolan Ryan?

 

I'm so wrong, I could tell.

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

Nope. Ryan is an admirable guess, but surprisingly not.
