Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees, Apr 16, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
As the Baseball Gods would have it, Clay Buchholz -- for the second time -- faces off against Chien-Ming Wang in tonight's Sox-Yankees match-up. Last time Wang, the Yanks' No. 1, was too strong and Buchholz, the Sox's No. 5, was good but not great. It's 5 vs. 1, but hey, we can do it.
Here's their stats:
And the lineups for tonight's throwdown:

yuck
I’m so thrilled I turned the TV on just in time to see Abreu go deep. :P

at least he settled down?
I’m recording the game, not watching, so I can write a paper (joy!).

So I'm going to the game tomorrow
and sitting in the bleachers.
Will I get my ass kicked if I wear a Sox hat?

hmm
I bet it depends how vocal you are and much you “interact” if you know what I mean.

I'm pretty easygoing
and I won’t be looking for a fight. Especially with my wife next to me.
I’d like to fly my flag, but if it means not enjoying the game, I wouldn’t want to.

I've never been to yankee stadium
but if the sox bleachers are any indication it really depends on who you are sitting near and how much they’re drinking… I’d bring it and size up your neighbors, but perhaps someone who has been would know better.

I just asked over at Pinstripe Alley
They said it should be fine, that I’d probably get heckled but not punched.

You'll be fine
I usually go & wear Sox gear & have never had an issue.
When I go for games that aren’t Sox/Yanks – I root against the Yanks all the time unless its the Mets then I hope for a tie.
Then again, I am female…take your chances like the Verizon commercials the “nation” is always with you.

Lugo's got 1 RBI so far this year
will he triple that with a swing of the bat?

You know
We’re not hitting Wang any harder than we did on Friday. It’s just that the line drives are dropping. We hit him hard last week, but everytime it was right at someone.

im not buying the Yankee bullpen is that much better...
than last year. No Joba, we can get another 4 runs.
Anyone else think C. Buchholz might need another half season in AAA?

Drew
is very very very much on fire right now.

oh man, its looking like its going to be another intense bullpen night

give lugo credit
he kept the inning alive by striking out instead of hitting into a double play
by Tippecanoe on Apr 16, 2008 9:16 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
For Lugo
that’s not inconsiderable.
by sdkramer.otm on Apr 16, 2008 9:17 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
jed lowrie has 3 RBIs
lugo has 2 RBIs, in 13 more games

Man, harshin' on Papi already?
I think he’s earned a little patience.

the man who just struck out is NOT papi
maybe his knee is bothering him more than hes letting on?

everyone but
Tek and Lugo had a base hit that inning

Patience
Papi will get it back, he just needs more abs to find his swing again.
Sox can afford to carry Papi, now Lugo needs to go ASAP. They should of made that deal for O. Cabrera/Coco Crisp.
by SoxAcumen on Apr 16, 2008 9:25 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I'd trade Lugo
for a sack of balls, and a box of cracker jack.
by sdkramer.otm on Apr 16, 2008 9:27 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I completely agree
I love papi and it hurts to see him struggle, but he just needs time. Looked to me like his timing is off?

final score
will be something like 18-16 red sox

This isn’t the Hatchet face of Monday. That’s for darn sure.

nothing really, earth left orbit for moment
no, really it was just bases where loaded it looked like we could get a double play to get out of the inning… jugo chucked it and everyone took a moment to watch as it rolled for a moment.

i don’t even know how to feel about j.d. drew being the most reliable hitter in our lineup.

Arizona State
It is great for partying and the fun stuff, but don’t go unless you are in engineering or business.

They have a great baseball team
I was thinking about U of Wisconsin or Boston College but the whole application process is really a crapshoot.

i hear you man
Wisconsin is like the #1 party school right now, haha. If i wasn’t in engineering and could go anywhere i think BC would be one of my top choices, but I would stay in Boston (you miss it real quick).

Tell me why the Sox keep Lugo??
Please?
Seems like he makes more errors than any shortstop in Baseball, and usually only hits in non-clutch situations. In clutch situations, he either strikes out (usually looking) or hits into a double play. Am I missing anything??
by NG on Apr 16, 2008 10:59 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
tell me why other teams would be willing to trade for him
because i cant come up with anything
