[LaxBandit]

Yankees lead 3-0, bottom of the 1st.

LB...

[LaxBandit]

Yankees get a break. Look like Papi was hit by a Johnson pitch, next pitch and Papi strikes out. two outs with Chewy on third and Manny up for the Sox.

[LaxBandit]

Damm!!! Manny nails one just over the foul pole in left and its a one run game.
Yankees 3 Red Sox 2 with two outs in the bot of the 1st.

LB...

[njsue]

:groan:

[LaxBandit]

Fly out to right field...Sheffield catches it and a wild 1st inning is over...

Yankees 3 Red Sox 2...

LB...

[LaxBandit]

Tino up to start off the second, base hit...

Wow did Manny nail that one....

Still scoreless at the Jake....

Bernie nails one of the glove of Millar! Tino makes third and Bernie is able to take second...runners on 2nd and 3rd for the Yanks! scored a double for Bernie...

[LaxBandit]

SAC FLY!

Tino scores, Bernie goes to 3rd..

Yankees 4 Red Sox 2....

LB...

[LaxBandit]

Another sac fly? (was out of the room)

Yankees take a 5-2 lead!

A-Rod pops up to Manny (but Edgar wanted a piece of it! LOL) inning over.

Yankees lead 5-2, bot of 2nd.

Ok Randy, settle things down now...

LB...

[njsue]

TINO

[Darth Takeo]

Randy's either getting squeezed or can't find the zone, or a little of both...

[LaxBandit]

Red Sox get a lead off walk, Marabelli then K's...

still scoreless at the Jake, bot of 3rd there...

Johnson with a quick K on Nixon, two outs...

[njsue]

Today' is a playoff game for Randy Johnson.

More run support to come for the big unit.

[LaxBandit]

Randy's either getting squeezed or can't find the zone, or a little of both...

Well he has found the zone at least for now...two K's...

Ugh, ball gets under the glove of Jeter..runners on 1st and 2nd with two outs for the Sox.

Damon is up...

Johnson loses Damon again, another walk.

bases loaded...

LB...

[Darth Takeo]

Bases juiced. Randy's gonna get burned sooner or later....

[njsue]

WHEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

Ok everybody Breathe!

[LaxBandit]

WHEW!!! Johnson gets Edgar to K!

Big Unit strikes out the side...

Red Sox leave the bases loaded....

We head to the third, Yankees 5 Red Sox 2

Ok, lets keep it going on offense!

LB...

[njsue]

LET'S GO YANKEES

[Darth Takeo]

Edgar is bad. Fortunately for us.

[LaxBandit]

Damm can Joe Buck and Tim McCarver be so negative? Johnson just strikes out the side and all they are talking about is his three walks and 51 pitches...turning on the radio, hopefully everything is insync and I can listen to Sterling...

LB...

[LaxBandit]

MATSUI!!!!!!
A THRILLA FROM GODZILLA!!!!

YANKEES LEAD 6-2!!!!!!

WHOO HOO!!!!

LB....

[njsue]

CHARGE

[Papaduke]

Sheff saving the day

[LaxBandit]

NICE CATCH SHEFF!! (too bad you were in a smaller bx as FOX went to a two box setup with the Indians-White Sox game in the larger box. Nice timing as the Indians take a 1-0 lead with two out in the 5th..) base hit for the Red Sox, runner on base with two outs on Johnson.

LB...

[njsue]

Tribe up by 1.

[LaxBandit]

LOL! Error on the White Sox third baseman! drops a easy pop fly...Indians score on the error and its 2-0 Tribe. Damon grounds to Cano....4-3...Well not a 1-2-3 inning but I'll take it. End of 4 at Fenway, its Yankees 6 Red Sox 2.

[LaxBandit]

A-ROD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MVP

[Darth Takeo]

5 pitch inning, retiring Rent, Ortiz, and Manny.

end 5th.

[LaxBandit]

Lets have a few more of those innings, 1-2-3...on five pitches...

Yanks lead 7-2 after five...

BRB, gotta take something over to my cousins around the corner. Don't worry, I won't miss a thing, I'll have the game on in the car and it will definiately be on the tube at my cousins, her hubby is a huge Yankees fan! (you should see his computer room!) I may stay and watch the sixth inning there!

I'm out for a few!

GO YANKS!!!

LB...

[njsue]

Mike Stanton is pitching for the Sox. OMG!

[LaxBandit]

Well that sucked! Went over to my cousins and my cousin-in-law is over at his brothers watching the game on the big screen! ugh! (My trip wasn't wasted as I did grab some of her very good peanut butter cookies!)

Whoo hoo White Sox up 4-1! Top of the 7th!

3 up and 3 down! Johnson again K's the side!

Does "Big Unit" stay in the game for one more inning? or does he get taken out for Gordon?

LB...

[njsue]

?

Do the Yankees clinch the division with a win today and a indians loss today?

[Darth Takeo]

?

Do the Yankees clinch the division with a win today and a indians loss today?
From what John Sterling said, yes.

[LaxBandit]

Nixon pulls a "Sheff" and makes a great diving catch...

Flat flies out to Manny...2 outs...

White Sox 4-1 lead, bottom of the 7th.

Jeter, called third strike...

LOL, Marabelli threw the ball to 3rd and for a few seconds, everyone on the Red Sox stayed on the field, thinking it was the second out..Guess they forgot about Nixons catch! LOL!

7-2 Yanks...

LB...

[Papaduke]

Yes because the Yanks will have won the season series even if Boston wins tomorrow and Cleveland will be 2 games behind the Yankees. So lets hope for a Cleveland loss today and a win tomorrow with the Yankees knocking off the Sox again. That will force Boston onto a 1 game playoff with Cleveland.

[Papaduke]

Crap Graffanino homered

[LaxBandit]

I agree, I would love to see that Papaduke! even better a Indians win in the playoff so the Red Sox will be eliminated!

darn, a homerun brings the Red Sox within four again.

Yankees 7-3..

Whoo hoo...Chewbecca goes down!

Sheff ends the inning with a catch..

LB...

[njsue]

LET'S GO YANKEES!

[njsue]

8 K'S FOR THE UNIT!

[njsue]

Whoo hoo...Chewbecca goes down!


:funnyguy:

[Orange Nation]

32 homers given up by RJ, career high and the Most by ANY pitcher in YANKEE HISTORY!

[LaxBandit]

Indians are making a game of it...Blake with a two run double and its 4-3 White Sox in the 7th. A-Rod nails one off the monster for a double to leadoff the 8th, another pitching change for the Red Sox.

LB...

[Papaduke]

A Rod is king!

[LaxBandit]

Nice play by Edgar....couldn't get Sheff at second but saves a Yankees run..bases loaded for Cano with one out. Comon lets get that run back from the homer...

[Papaduke]

Do you think there missing little ol' pedro right about now!

[LaxBandit]

YES!!! Cano with a chopper...Edgar couldn't go to second so he had to go to first and Cano beats the throw! Yankees score a run and its bases loaded with one out again! Now Edgar is complaining about Matsui running out of the baseline...humm, close...

Yankees 8-3...

[njsue]

Mike Stanton SUCKS!

OH no its about to get ugly in beantown!

[njsue]

Hey Edgar forgetaboutit!

[BigPapi]

Out of the baseline much?

[ckg68]

Bottom of 8 at the Jake: White Sox 4-3. Howry gets Pierzynski to ground out into a DP(Belliard-Peralta-Broussard)to neutralize a scoring threat(1st & 2nd with 1 down).

[njsue]

Out of the baseline much?
NAH! :biggrin:

[BigPapi]

Just one of those days. We all know what happens we'll be playing monday baseball
for the division.

[ckg68]

Tom "Flash" Gordon warming up for the Yanks...

[LaxBandit]

Comon Bernie, break this game open!

Looks like Gordo for the bottom of the 8th.

If thats the case, great game RANDY!

LB...

[njsue]

The unit did his job today!

[ckg68]

Peralta singles off Marte...1 down....and here comes Pronk!

[Darth Takeo]

Just one of those days. We all know what happens we'll be playing monday baseball

Not if Cleveland loses...

[njsue]

Just one of those days. We all know what happens we'll be playing monday baseball

You might be playing monday for a wildcard spot. That all depends on the indians.

[LaxBandit]

Just one of those days. We all know what happens we'll be playing monday baseball for the division.

HUH? The only playing on Monday for you guys will be for the wild card! (thats if Yanks and Indians both win on sunday!)

Bernie strikes out and we head to the bottom of the 8th.

LB...

[Darth Takeo]

Cleveland has bases juiced, 1 out.

[ckg68]

Travis doubles....2nd & 3rd,1 down...Martinez up and getting the free pass;smart move on Marte's part...Belliard now up...

[njsue]

HUH? The only playing on Monday for you guys will be for the wild card! (thats if Yanks and Indians both win on sunday!)

Bernie strikes out and we head to the bottom of the 8th.

LB...

They can only dream of 27 titles!

[Darth Takeo]

[LaxBandit]

Complete game perhaps for the UNIT!

Nope, as you saw (and read what I wrote) Johnson was pulled after pitching to Papi...

UGH! homerun by Manny! his second of the game and its now 8-4 Yankees.

LB...

[BigPapi]

MANNY!!!

[LaxBandit]

After the homerun by Manny, Gordon gets the next two outs and we head to the ninth inning with the score: Yankees 8 Red Sox 4. three outs away (in both games) and the Yankees are....well lets wait and see if it happens!! don't wanna jinx myself!

LB...

[Papaduke]

Mariano Time!

[Darth Takeo]

End 8th.

8-4 Yanks.

[ckg68]

1-2-3 for Howry in the 9th....

I like your avatar.

[LaxBandit]

They just posted the final score of the White Sox-Indians game at Fenway and its like the world has come to an end, EVERYONE IN THE CROWD IS CHEERING! Yankee and Red Sox fans! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sheffield grounds out...end of the top of the 9th..

"ENTER SANDMAN" is playing...well ok, its not but....

HERE COMES MO!!!

Hey ckg68, don't worry Indians and Yanks will both win on Sunday and thus a playoff game at "The Jake" on Monday!

LB...

[Papaduke]

OK Lets Go MO!

[Papaduke]

I bet the Sox fans would not be cheering as much if they understood that by losing today they would lose the AL East.

[ckg68]

Guess what? We may very well get to see these two teams go at it AGAIN next week. If so,it'll be a full-fledged war...it'll be ON. And it may leave whoever wins with so little in the tank that they could be easy pickings for whoever wins the other series.

[LaxBandit]

They are playing "Enter Sandman"...unless thats just the Yanks radio broadcast playing it in the background...

Ugh! off the glove of Cano for a basehit....tough play...

runner on 1st and Nixon up...

LB...

[LaxBandit]

Popfly to Sheffield.....one out....

[LaxBandit]

WHEW!! A-ROD with a catch!
(would have been a easy force at second anyway)

ONE MORE OUT!!!

LB...

[LaxBandit]

MO vs CHEWEY!!!

STRIKE ONE!!!!

BALL ONE!!!!

FOUL BALL!!! STRIKE TWO!!!!

FOUL BALL!!! STILL 1-2!!!!!

CHOPPER TO MO!!!!!

THROW TO FIRST!!!!!

GAME OVER!!!! YANKEES WIN!!!!!!!!!!

WE ARE THE AL EAST CHAMPIONS!!!!!

WHOO HOO!!!!

LB...

[Papaduke]

2005 AL EAST CHAMPS AGAIN

[Darth Takeo]

Cheers!

[Papaduke]

OK so lets go Tribe tomorrow and lets see if the Yanks can send the Sox into a 1 gamer vs Cleveland.

[LaxBandit]

Game may be still important for the Yankees on Sunday as they can still get homefield advantage should the Angels crumble tonight/Sunday. Even so lets go out and win and not only help our cause but also the Indians so the Red Sox can be eliminated from the playoffs come Monday! Man I would love for that to happen!

Congrats New York Yankees on another AL East title!!!!

Well I'm out! thanks to everyone who posted in this thread. We should definiately do this for the playoff games.

GO YANKS!!!

LB...

[Orange Nation]

I actually wouldn't mind the wildcard.

Personally, I'd rather be playing the White Sox than the Angels.

[njsue]

2005 AL EAST CHAMPS AGAIN
That's what a team with alot of HEART will do with there backs against the wall..


WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[John]

Just one of those days. We all know what happens we'll be playing monday baseball
for the division.

Ah, NO!

But a Boston win or Tribe loss tomorrow puts the Sox in. I'm hoping for a one game playoff.
