Wish I was going to one of these games...but can't see spending $150+ a ticket

Sox need to win the series, 3-2 is fine, 4-1 is huge. Losing the series will seriously hinder their playoff hopes.

 

[John Mamula]

please see my poll.

tia.

 

[wilked]

I saw it

 

[ThisGuy]

ESPN has advertised this since Sunday, so you know it's good.

Gotta figure the teams split Friday, increasing the chances that the series goes 3-2 in either direction. Which in turn means the series at the Stadium in September could be the one for the marbles.Should be fun either way!

 

[NY/NJMFDIVER]

Prediction, Cano OWNS this series.

Don't know if the Yanks will do any better than 2 of 5, but Robbie will be heard from here.

Not possible Shady guaranteed me those tickets would be worthless and was going to sell them to me for a steal

 

[ThisGuy]

I wish they would start Ponson vs Johnson. That game might never end. the score would be something like 32-28

 

[GRIDIRON ASSASSIN]

A THREAD?!?!?!?

....as if the 24/7 coverage on ESPN (Eastern SeaBORED Programming Network) won't be enough...

Write it down. Boston will be 6GB by that series

 

[shadyridr]

I say Yanks take 3 out of 5.

I think they win the DH opener losing the nightcap. They lose Johnson vs overrated Beckett. They win Sunday's pitching duel cuz Mussina pWns Boston and they win the closer cuz Wells sucks.

Prediction Damon and ARod come up big in this series.

Scupper and I are going to the early game tomorrow. He is calling me on my cell when he gets into Boston.

Well then please don't find the time to post if the Sox take the first 3.

 

[CGRdrJoe]

Wish I was out there, gb getting in for cheap with military standing room only.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Let's, get it, on.

Oh, yeah. I want 4 of 5 to be happy.

 

[shadyridr]

Took off from work today for the DH!

[Alias]

I think we drop the first and last, hopefully we can come out of this 3-2.

 

[Christall]

I foresee another book by Simmons based entirely off this series. A running diary that turns into 300 pages.

 

[posty]

Sort of amazed that ESPN didn't kill the Little League World Series game tonight to show tonight's game so that all 5 can be televised on national TV...

Because, you know, ESPN thinks that we have to see every game between these two teams...

 

[Yankee23Fan]

It is time.

Armageddon

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Ya better come inside when you're ready to

But no chance if ya don't wanna dance

You like four letter words when you're ready to

But then you won't 'cos you know that you can

You got it, but are you gettin' it?

 

[Yankee23Fan]

John- ny Da - Mon!

Leadoff triple!

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Good start for the Yanks...

I think we take this game and the Sox take the nightcap...

 

[Tremendous Upside]

3 straight hits to open the game...

Jason Johnson is not very good...

I did, but this is just reinforcing it...I am surprised hte Sox keep on trotting him out...There must be someone in the organization who is better than this...

 

[genieofperu]

Yankees should cover the over themselves in the first game.

The Sox should let Papelbon build up arm strength and have him pitch and move Timlin (or by committee)...

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Big AB here for Alex.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

dang. Just missed.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Should have gotten more there...

Still, nice to jump out to a lead..

Now let's see Wang come up big!

good 1st inning.

I can see the Sportscenter headline right now. Yankees on pae to sweep 5-game series 9-0 each game.

 

[shadyridr]

Umm do the Yankees realize Johnson is terrible. Whats with all the missed hangers.

It took them a little longer than I liked, but

Johnson out, Snyder in......things are looking MUCH better now..

Really is a tragedy that boston keeps moving the fences in for their guys and moving it out for the yankees

I think would have been more effective, personally...BTW, big shout out to Tyler Clippard, Yankees AA pitching prospect who threw the first no-hitter in Trenton Thunder history last night!

[Tremendous Upside]

A-Rod with a nice RBI double...

6-3 Yanks...
