4/11: It's on!
| Prev. Gm:
|
New York Yankees (5-5) @ Boston Red Sox (5-5)
Chien-Ming Wang (2-0, 1.38) @ Clay Buchholz (0-1, 5.40) 7:05 PM EDT | Fenway Park (Boston, MA) TV: NESN RADIO: WEEI 850, SBN 1150 |
GAME NOTES: It's on! Red Sox! Yankees! Hoopla aside, both teams expected to contend for the playoffs both rest at .500 and have struggling offenses. Wang is off to a fantastic start this year. Can the No-Hit Kid shut him down?

And suddenly Wang's getting killed. Different park and it would be 4-1 with no one out. Frustrating to see all those warning track shots but at least one went out.

Jayyyyy DEEEEEEE
Nice outing from Buchholz....worked around some trouble for sure...but overall couldn't have asked for more.
Good to see Timlin back!

I haven't understood why Timlin was on the team for two years now. Good boy, you take the kids bow hunting, root for Bush and pray frequently. Learn to throw a goddamn strike that doesn't leave the park and I'll start to show you a whole lot more respect.

Never mind. I forgot Matsui was after A-Rod. And that Lopez isn't a LOOGY proper.

Awesome, Wang tosses a perfect game against us (thanks for the homer, Bobby). I've never had any designs on this season, but it'd be nice to at least look respectable, y'know?

Okay ... J.D. Drew is our offense so far this season ... yes, that J.D. Drew
I don't know whether that statement should make me encouraged about Drew or utterly depressed about our team
oh and what happened to making pitchers work? 93 pitches for a complete game? cmon guys
