In lieu of a game recap – truthfully, I really don’t feel like rehashing this afternoon’s game. It was bad enough to watch the first time – I figured we could have an open thread and log our complaints about what transpired this afternoon.
Okay, fine, I’ll mention a couple of things:
- Jon Lester won back-to-back starts for the first time since May. Good job making him look good, boys!
- Pedro Ciriaco continued his hot hitting against the Yankees. What’s he batting now, .900?
Is this loss the end of the world? Of course not. The Red Sox are still in fourth place and still way out of contention. But it would have been nice for the Yankees to play well during a Saturday afternoon FOX game. They’ve only beaten the Red Sox once on a Saturday, so far, this season – the infamous comeback in April against, which was at the time, a horrible Red Sox bullpen.
Hopefully, the Yankees will not have a repeat of the last three-game series at the Stadium – they won the Friday night game but lost Saturday’s and Sunday’s games – and can win the rubber game tomorrow night. They better because I’m going and I’m in no mood to watch them lose to Josh Beckett.
Anyway, complain away!

Oh, Stacey….. look, we’re coasting here. we’ve got our 9th starter going against Lester and in the field we’ve got exactly 3 guys who are our starters playing their positions.
Look I don’t like the Red Sox. I want the Yankees to beat their brains in and allowing someone like Nick Punto to beat them? Yuck.
so you’re this kinda Stacey?

Hey! A song about me that doesn’t involve my mom or spell my name wrong!
it was more about you forgetting that baseball’s a sport and wanting to see blood on the Sox when they’re already about bled out.
I got Girardi as being why more cool about things while being way more contemptuous to them by managing the lineup in such way as to show them that he’s treating them as if they’re the Washington Generals.
Why don’t you chill out a fraction and see if you can’t have a really nice time tomorrow night. Maybe you’re gonna see Girardi play our hottest hitter at 3B and get Tex some lefty swings.
You might see us hang 4 dingers on the nasty boy Beckett.
Of course, by the third one you’ll get to see some beanings, but at then you’ll be justified in your bloodlust.
I look forward to reading your apres-game report.
How about you take the condescension down about three notches?
maybe we’ll review after the Sunday night game, but I’m sorry that you thought that I was condescending to you, Ms Gotsulias.
Ciriaco ! Batting .900 against Yankees !
I liked how the NY Post (I think) wrote something to the effect of “Another Pedro as a thorn in the Yankees’s side”. I think comparing Ciriaco to Martinez is a tad premature. Plus, Martinez’s Red Sox were more a bit more competitive than this current group are right now.
Ciriaco’s just a nuisance right now more than anything.
And I apologize if my sarcasm didn’t come through in the post. I forgot a lot of you don’t know me that well. You’ll understand soon enough.
Stacey – no need to apologize …that dork Fuster thinks he’s a lot brighter than he really is.
no he doesn’t.
( and she wasn’t apologizing to me, TWA, if you were as bright as I might think I am , you would have understood that )
In a post game interview specifically addressing the lineup, Someone asked if part of Joe’s thinking in making out the lineup was that we were “playing with house money” and didn’t really need to win. Seeming rather indignant, Joe denied this, stating that every game is important. Jones, who has struck out one out of every three plate appearances on the year and is batting .137 over the past 30 days, doesn’t seem a logical choice for batting cleanup if the goal is to win a game. Sounds more like a lost bet, “if I’m wrong, I’ll bat Andruw clean up for the entire Red Sox series…”
