2 great plays at the plate baby! Womack and Cano just stepped up to make 2 great plays to Posada! YOURRRRRRRRRRR OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT...........................

Not taking anything away from the Yanks' defense (which was excellent in that inning) the BoSox 3rd base coaching SUCKED!!

And now its come back to haunt them..... the Red Sox SHOULD HAVE been up by more than two.

Yanks take the lead! WOO HOO! Man that was a shot by Sheff

Nothing makes me happier than to see them beating Boston.

My feelings exactly Babe. I was also glad to see Ortiz go 0-3 so far and I'm not sure what Manny's doing tonight but it isn't much

I'm not sure who I loathe more - Ortiz or Damon.

Ortiz definitely. Damon's an idiot (even he thinks so) but I don't hate him. He's probably the only Red Cock who I would say I liked but I'm not even saying that. Plus, he could be a Yankee in the off season

Yes, Ortiz out on strikes!

WOO HOO, Varitek strikes out!

Ah, the Yankees win! 16 out of 18 with 5 of them coming in a row. A good game tonight and I'm looking forward to tomorrow's pitching matchup

yankees still blow lol i cant belive my sox lost oh well we will get em tomorrow at noon. im happy for all u yank fans but tomorrow will be diffrent sox will take em

Hope to see you tomorrow when they don't

ARGH!

I'm hijacking this thread for one post to vent about the Astros, because I'm sure it's not worth a new thread.

I love it that Houston sucks! 16-31 after the first 47 games is a great start! I wonder when Clemens will be refitted for his pinstripes and how it feels to be pitching for his hometown losing team!?

Watch the Yanks do something stupid like trade this kid Cano for some overpriced idiot.

DS

Well I heard he or Wang could be part of a trade if the Yanks decided to get Clemens before the trade deadline

Great, the Yanks are already down 1-0 after the first part of the first

Stupid, stupid idea. I'd rather stick with Wang and Cano rather than trade for a one year hired-gun. Besides, both these kids could legitimately become full-time Yankees within the next couple of years. Womack isn't exactly a world beater, and if the Yankees pick up a solid center fielder in the offseason, I forsee Cano playing 2B full-time. It would be the first really strong defensive presence we've had at that position since 'Fonz Soriano.

I think it'd be a mistake too because we'd only have Clemens for half a season and then he would "retire" again. I think we should hang onto Wang & Cano, but I would love to see Clemens come back to us and I don't want him going to Boston at all!

The thing is...we aren't doing that shabby without Clemens. I mean, the slump is over, and the Yanks are #2 in the AL East. Granted, we might need a pickup for the playoff run, but I don't think we should sacrifice Cano and/or Wang at this point (or ever, imho).

I don't think that thought has EVER crossed my mind :p

Great, another 2 runs scored (and 1 of them was Varitek)

I agree, but I'd sacrifice Wright or Brown instead Although I'll give Brown credit, he started the year 0-4 and he's won his last 4 starts. However, we cannot let Clemens go back to Boston or they'll win the Series again with him & Schilling. I think it'll be too much

Bah, who will Boston give up for Clemens, and even then, will Boston make the playoffs? I think if the Yankees dial-down and just focus on winning games, they will be fine. Our pitching staff is much improved from last year, even Brown is doing well. Tanyon Sturze was excellent as a spot starter down the stretch last year. I don't think Clemens will head to Boston unless crazy-legs-broken-bloody-ankle Schilling will be unable to pitch in the offseason (which could happen).

But this playoff race will be closer than ever, with Baltimore, Boston, New York, Chicago and Minnesota all looking for spots.

Clemens has said the only other team he would play for is the Yankees.

DS

When did he say that Smitty!? Pitiful that Pavano didn't even go 4 innings today. He had 2 outs and then he gives up another 2 runs

I heard it about a month ago on Sportscenter.

DS

Pretty interesting. Man the Yankees are sucking it up today

my sox are kicking there ass 12 to 0 i told u irishman they would yanks blow
