PrintBoston Red Sox at New York Yankees, Sep 27, 2009 1:05 PM EDT
This is it. Rubber match. This determines something something something something. Oh yeah. A win and we can at least claim the season series over the Yanks. A loss and we're tied and they clinch the East tomorrow.
Magic number still at 3.
Been awhile since I've been around, been awhile since I've done one of these. My apologies for that. Work has been a something.
Let's be honest. A win would be nice but I kinda would just like Paul Byrd to look like a big-league pitcher.

Afternoon All!
Go Sox!
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
Hope everyone is rooting for the Tigers next week.
Twins have no chance VS the MFY. The Tigers pitching however, could make some noise.
VARITEK MUST GO
Brandon Webb in 2010
All depends on Edwin Jackson
But yeah I wan those Twinkies to win it.
So I reckon this rain delay has given Mitch Byrd to jack himself up on porn
And that he’s gonna come out like a goddamn bull. Whaddaya think??
Goddamn that DeMarlo Hale.
It's only a rubber match
when the two teams are going into the final game tied up. If the Sox would have won yesterday, today would be the rubber match. We can only hope to not get swept.
That is all.

1-0, good guys
Nice to hit one off their pitcher for a change.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
I hope he's allright
Stay classy Boston!

He is
But I was more worried that Lowell wasn’t going to beat it out.

Pudge can still throw; 35% this year. So can Barajas: also 35%. But Barajas starts for the Jays and will probably want to start. Schneider also throws well: 34%.

I'll trade for Suzuki
I like his game, Bengie Molina is good too, I don’t think he’ll resign with SF with Posey comin’
"That was a lot of fun… You just keep pounding balls into the gap. The one thing you don’t want to do is hit a home run. That’s a rally-killer." Jeff Francoeur
We should sign Bard
So we can cut him again.
Seriously…we should do that once every year or two.
Goddamn that DeMarlo Hale.
If we're looking for a catcher who can't hit but can throw guys out...
Mark Wagner averages about 50%

Great play by Youk, Pedroia, and Byrd
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
nice play

A sign that Pettitte doesn't have his best stuff:
The Carcass gets a hit.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
Drag bunt
Jacoby should do that more often, especially against left-handed pitchers.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
did my eyes just decieve me?
or did tek actually throw a guy out??

FRAK
Juiced with no outs and a miserable run?

Haha
Swisher out on the appeal play. He left too soon.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
hahahahahahah
swisher = base running FAIL

they just showed it
he left too soon

must not have been, since he was called out

- Paul Rhoads
Did you see the replay?
It was CLEAR. 2009 umpires suck.
yes i saw the replay
im going with the shot that showed the catch and the runner leaving not the picture in picture replay. and by that one he left too soon. there is too much possibility for problems syncing up the picture in picture replay to call it reliable
"Stats from the spring," he said when handed the numbers. "I can take those down to the spare bathroom in the house. We can put them to use down there."
- Paul Rhoads
And for an appeal to be called
It has to be fucking absolute crystal clear which it wasn’t. Completely and utter BS.
Sort of like Jeter's HR that Jeffrey Maier interfered with
Or this one: the phantom tag on Jose Offerman in the 1999 ALCS.

the umpire standing right in front of the base had a better view than we can ever think of having with the camera angles
"Stats from the spring," he said when handed the numbers. "I can take those down to the spare bathroom in the house. We can put them to use down there."
- Paul Rhoads
Lol what?
It’s umpiring fail. But no let’s jump on the Swisher fail. Fuck umpires. They love the Sox.
That may be the dumbest thing you've ever said
You want to criticize the umps, that’s fine. They blow a lot of calls. They don’t favor any one team.

You mean the one where the ump called 6 of 21 pitches in that zone strikes?

by Drugs Delaney on Sep 27, 2009 3:48 PM EDT up reply actions
The Yankees don't need the umps to help them out
They’ve got Watson in their corner.
Anyway, Ive often heard about Reggie Jackson sticking out his hip to obstruct Garvey yet no call of interference . Yankee bias in taught in umpiring school.
Or maybe let’s be rational & realize umps miss calls.

Hello all. It seems that Byrd has done well so far.

Do we blame Ellsbury or Saito for this, now?
Kudos to the Byrdman of Pornmatraz for pitching a great game.
Goddamn that DeMarlo Hale.
saito
ells had a tough play to make

It was shallow enough...
Drew would have been close enough for there not to be too much damage.
Goddamn that DeMarlo Hale.
Tito for taking Byrd out

BoldandBrash for jinxing Byrd :p

Nah
That wasn’t a bad move. Saito has been tough on lefties this year.
Blame the offense. They had bases loaded, no outs, in the third and only got one run.

After being swept, we'll go back to Fenway and beat the Jays and Indians
and we’ll think evreything is fine forgetting that we suck evrey time we face some elite pitching!
Frustrating season and frustrating offense! Trade for Gonzalez Dammit!

gotta go watch the Phins witha fellow Phinfan
bye all! Drum up a rally!!
I don’t know about you all but I wasn’t really up for this series. I hate to see the MFY win but I am not as bummed as I usually am over these match-ups.

The good news, at least, is that the Rangers also lost today
Which means they did not gain on us at all.
