Looks like our far flung Rooters will get the game today unless you are in Denver, Phoenix or Los Angeles.

Enough of this crap. Let's go out and win one today. C'mon Josh, time to shut them down.
Can Paps come back and close again today? If ever we needed a complete game victory, today is the day.

Die Fox.
Hinske (oustanding numbers off Wang) in LF, Crisp back in CF. Finally back to Pedroia-Youkilis 1-2, even if its only because Ellsbury's out.
Some montage mojo
I would like to suggest respectfully that we WIN THIS GAME. I am tired of losing to the NYY. I don't care whether or not the game is important to us winning the division. I just want to WIN!!! That is all.

I agree. I'm tired of the Scummies beating us.
Hinkse?? why?? why not Ellsbury ?? lugo is bottom of line up which where it should be.

It would be nice if those numbers would actually translate into something outstanding this season, 0-6 against Wang this season isn't exactly impressive.
Ellsbury's wrist must still be bothering him because Crisp has had difficulty against Wang in the past
I hate the Raiders, but this seems appropriate today.
So there is really no better play by play out there than Josh Lewin? Really?
I mean, to me this is like putting a 5'1 guy in an NBA slam dunking contest. Some people just weren't given the goods by God to do certain jobs. In Lewin's case, anything involving broadcasting and public speaking should have been off limits. But nope. Not only is he a broadcaster, but Fox hilights him in their big national game of the week.
What a country. What a dumb asinine network. Maybe they figure, hey, we already have the second worst analyst out there, why not just totally crap the bed with the broadcast since Joe's busy doing football?

Agreed, and after yesterday it's good to have you with us again today MFL.
Uhhhh, I'm guessing that uhhhhh Andy ummmmm Pettite doesn't have a ummmmm future in uhhhhhh broadcasting after he ummmmmmm retires.I've never seen a player do worse giving the lineups.

Well we're home anyway, having done our breakfast-Circuit City-Target-baby consignment sale rounds.
So I figure, hey--I'll give it a few innings. Pizza tonight I think, so if they're sucking and I'm getting pissed, I'll turn it off and go out and get some. If not, bring it home or eat it after. At least that's the plan. Plus there's college football on.
Hey kids I thought this was FOX not YES. McCarver would never miss the chance to suck Jeter off during a game.

First post....and a Rooter from the Midwest finally gets all three games of a Sox/Yanks series.
A-Rod called yesterday's debacle "Our biggest win of the year." Today is the day to stem the Stankee momentum a bit and let their dugout be the ones left wringing their hands.
I realize last night was a tough loss but some of my friends are so mad and fatalistic I don't get it. It is like you guys are 5 back. Sox are playing with the house's money. These games are far bigger to the Yanks. You always want to win but you guys have a cushion to fall back on...
McCarver once again saying Jeter should be an MVP candidate...WHY???

Don't ask questions you don't want answers to.
Now they are getting started on the 1978 shit, WOW and as he hits it out you can here the excitement in the announcers voice. These guys are bigger homers than the Madden 08 PA Announcers.
Well that was quick
Go to the mail box, come back and we're down 1-0. Nice.
29 pitches already! WHAT THE ****
Finally.
Ok 30 pitches then
I'm convinced all these reports of how banged up Damon was (is?) and how Jeter's patellar tendinitis is hampering him is just some kind of Yankee snow job designed to lull their opponents into relaxing and not keeping the pressure on.
Jeter sure didn't like a guy whose pins were hurting him when he hit that HR out to LCF.

hang in there, friends....these are trying times.....hang in there.
Is that Jeff Gordon in the front row?
I think Wang is one of the most overrated pitchers in baseball

JD, Thanks for not hitting into a DP.
That wasnt a DP?Blame Varitek for not being able to open it up a little bit.
I love Pedroia.

Awwww Dane Cook is on, good thing I have it on mute.
Where is his Yankee hat that he wears during his tours?

They're talking about jump-rope and hulahoops during the game. Wow just kill yourself guys.
Yankees Commercial, this officially confirms FOX is YES Lite today
Yankee announcer to Dane Cook "How can you wear Red Sox stuff after that loss last night?"
Because hes in Boston, if he wasn't he'd be rocking the usual NY hat
can anyone explain to me why Fox would buy the rights to the program and not even show the game? I'm relegated to radio commercials advertising theJust For Men color Wakefield uses... 
According to IMDB, he was born in Boston and attended Arlington High School.
Yes, he is from Boston, but I have seen him wear the Yankee hats on tour, especially when he played at Quinnipiac University in 2004.
Thanks for the imdb lesson
Edit: There we go Beckett

I didn't know he was from Boston. But then, I barely even knew who the hell he was. I missed the Suddenly Susan episode he was in. (More IMDB love for you).
Time to slap the wang around
Come on JD, don't suck.
3 straight walks just for Tek to strikeout (it'll happen)
Cap we need you here
c'mon TEK!!!!!
Tek chokes in a big spot, there's a big shocker

Yeah... after 16 straight takes, he swings on the first pitch. Not to mention the second was high. Wasn't he paying attention?
