LHP - C.C. Sabathia, (0-4 5.96 ERA)

Will this be CC's first win or does it get chalked up as an automatic loss?

Lineups to follow.

CF - Ellsbury
LF - Gardner
1B - Teixeira
C - McCann
RF - Beltran
3B - Headley
DH - Jones
2B - Drew
SS - Gregorius

...hope CC "feels good".

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Yeah CC, you go out there and rock 'em tonight. Lets hope Masterson is just as bad, could be a softball game tonight.

 

[yankeesince59]

^^^5 inning "mercy rule"?

 

[blgridesagain]

Is this a game thread with CC Sabathia scheduled to start?

In THAT case, tonight, considering CC's career and recent numbers at Fenway.....I would accept 7-9 innings allowing 2 or less runs......
.....correction......how about 6 or 7 innings of shutout ball.....?
...nah, how 'bout a complete game shurout!


No...wait......a no-hitter would be fine.




Is Arod in the lineup for TONIGHT's game?
Bit surprised......he hasn't been released or retired yet? Jeez

 

[Rick2583]

Lets just hope CC has a SECOND (2nd) good start in him.

Lets just hope CC has a SECOND (2nd) good start in him.

And keep in mind, the Redsox are pitching Pedro.....or is it Schilling?
And after all, the Yank's have shakey 8th and 9th inning guys...even if they both had yesterday off......see, I'm keeping it in "perspective". Lmao

Nothing short of at least 6-7 innings and two or less runs should be acceptable.
Does THAT sound reasonable?

There ya go!

 

[yankeesince59]

...posting drunk rulez !

 

[totus44]

I'm hoping Boston doesn't bat around the order in the first inning. Let's set realistic goals.

 

[Rick2583]

Tonight's lineup posted in OP.

 

[Rick2583]

No A-Rod tonight you just know Red Sox fans have to be pissed.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

How come the Druggist is not in the game, seeing his dealer perhaps?????????????????????????????

 

[Yankeefan5545]

One run for the big man, gotta do better than that!!!!!!!

 

[Messiah717]

Need to jump on Boston's horrid pitching in this park.

Nope, just trying to follow the line of thinking of the "MAJORITY".
But it IS revealing how you chose to take a cheap shot on obviously sarcastic posts.

Have some more fun. I'm impressed.

 

[Rick2583]

54 pitches through 3 for CC The Sox are making him work.

 

[Rick2583]

Holy crap Beltran is now 2-2 with the only RBI so far. Could it be????????

 

[Messiah717]

Pop fly homer down the left field line and Boston leads 2-1. The bottom of the Yankee order is just a disaster. Just kills so many scoring chances.

Up to the minute 7, 8, & 9 hitters =

7) Jones 172
8) Drew 172
9) Gregorius 200

 

[yankeesince59]

...CC getting away with murder.

 

[Messiah717]

Idiot Gregorius not only doesn't hit but continues to sport a poor glove. Easily getting to the point where I can't stand this guy.

...not to mention

Beltran ..183
Headley .238
Tex ...... .213

...his defense looked so damned impressive earlier but now I get a little nervous when the ball is hit his way...wish he'd get his shit together on both sides of the ball.

 

[Rick2583]

Rare props to Sabathia who pitched good tonight unfortunately his offense didn't show up.

 

[Messiah717]

Making garbage pitchers look good.

 

[yankeesince59]

...both starters walked the tightrope tonight...they didn't fool anyone.

...both offenses blew multiple opportunities to put this game away.


...and oh, thanx to the Sox fan who cost his team a run.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Just got back in time to see McCann get a game tying RBI. Shocked to see Sabathis made it 6 but 27 Batters in that stretch tells me he wasn't exactly dominant. Yankee offense must be off on coffee break!

 

[yankeesince59]

^^^yeah, 110 pitches and 9 baserunners in 6 innings...defense also helped to get him out of some jams.

...Masterson wasn't masterful either..

 

[yankeesince59]

...lol...does either team want to win this game?
