Whew

Agreed, I expected a shootout, but I was hoping Brown would last more than 2 innings. He better not be back out there next inning. lol

oh Crap. Vasquez is warming. Not good. He sucks in Fenway.

Well, at least Arrojo is terrible tonight and we can get some runs back.

Stupid throw by Cairo. STUPID. Keep Damon at first.

Okay, get Damon out here and stop the bleeding.

This is a big batter. I don't want to see Damon up to bat with 2 men on.

Brownie has to settle down here...get back to the ground balls.

Knew that lead off walk would hurt. I hate the sox but I like Trot

Captain has to come through here, can't waste Ruben's double... Darn

Gotta love a lead off double! Go Ruben.

WOW!!!! THAT IS WHY HE IS MVP! WHAT A FRIGGIN' THROW!

that was a big K

Agreed. Brown's back worries me. I guess he has been complaining about it. I am banking on him having a great 5 innings though since he is trying to get back on the team's good side after the "wall incident"... Here's to hoping! Go Brownie!

Wow, Posada is SLOOOOOOOOW

How long till Arrojo drills someone?

That was a great call by John

WOWZERS!!!!!!!! God I love Matsui!!!!!

damn...but he advances the runner. Good stuff. Perfect setting for Mr. Clutch Matsui.

YEAH!!!!!!! GREAT AT BAT!!

Welcome aboard Millbank

Nice at bat for the captain...

Here's to a fun game! I didn't realize Arrojo pitched 8 times against the Yanks. I knew he got 4 wins, but he also got 4 ND. Interesting. I say that bodes well for the Yankee bats. But Brown is hurting (surprise!) so it could turn into a shootout.

They very well could win the next 3 games. Doubtful...but possible. I think Arrojo is going to get lit up. Everyone is banking on the fact that "the Sox hit better at home". Well, DUH. Fenway is a hitters paradise! The Yanks will hit better at Fenway too. So I say it balances out. I can see these next three games being higher scoring, but I would rather have Brown on the hill (an ace with playoff expierence) over Arrojo (good, but young and can be rattled) anyday. But Wakefield vs a banged up Hernandez is a good matchup for the Sox. So if they can beat Brown (certainly possible) and get a good outing from Wakefield then it could be 2-2. But then Lowe will pitch game 5...not good.

Personally I am not too concerned about a loss of momentum. If anything I think it works both ways. I mean, sure it postpones the game, but it gives the Sox another day to sulk and worry about being in an 0-2 hole with their two best pitchers already used up.
