The Next Four

Recommended Posts

What'da ya think about the upcoming Yankees series?

I could easily see a split.

 

From there I think it could easily got either way 3-4.

 

Which version of Floyd will show up?

Is Quintana for real?

Will the offense show up?

 

New York also seems to have two unknowns starting this series.

 

Let's give em some of our own evil.

I'm optimistic for a 3-4 Sox series here... With reservations. :)

SCREW THE YANKEES, WE SWEEP.

That sure would be nice. Hopefully Youk brings up the intensity a bit.

First time in his carrer to play them outside of the rivalry, right?

 

Give em hell Youk!

Game One Loss. Games Two and Three Wins. Game Four Loss.

 

That would be totally acceptable for me. In the Bronx with 2 rookies and an inconsistant starter going? Split would be fine.

I remember when he swept the Yankees in the Bronx in 2000. Gotta love that one game where we scored 17 runs, 12 in the first two innings.

 

BOOM!

I have no idea who the two guys who pitched after Parque are though and I remember that 2000 team pretty well haha.

I remember Beirne. He had an incredible overhand curveball that he couldn't control. Vaguely remember Pena.

 

That win probability chart is straight lulz.

I remember I went golfing that day, got in the car to find out the Sox were up 12-0, and knew they were going to run off 7 straight against Cleveland and New York on the road. That was the defining momemt of the regular season.

Two wins would be good.

Last year's team probably would have won one. Had the series been after the all star break last year's team woulda definitely got swept.

As far as perception goes

 

If Sox get ...

Zero or one win) Perception is Sox pretty much are pretenders. Vying for a title in a joke of a division.

Split: More than a yawn. Sox would be holding their own and in the race.

Three wins: Wow, quite a series. Sox are resembling the team that won nine in a row more than the lousy team of late (cept for Minnie series).

Four wins: This just might be a division champ and with Youk maybe capable of making some postseason noise.

I wonder how it felt to get NINE runs put on ya ass in the first inning...

 

This was when the Sox swept the Yanks and the the then powerful Indians, right?

 

Wait... they swept the Indians in Cleveland THEN the Yanks in New Yawk. Good times.

That 2000 team just had every frickin hitter with a plus-.800 OPS. Man that team was loaded offensively.

I looked that up a month or so ago when I was bored at work...Absolutely incredible some of the numbers that team put up offensively...and how terrible they were on the mound.

No CC? Who are the Yanks throwing out there Nova, Kuroda, Hughes, and Warren?

 

Yankees website shows:

 

Nova vs. Axelrod

Warren vs. Quintana

Kuroda vs. Peavy

Hughs vs. Floyd

 

There was a mention earlier today that Garcia will be taking CC's spot. Not sure how that's gonna play out.

Garcia pitched today in relief when Pettite broke his foot....so he will probably have to wait 5 days.

They flashed Warrens numbers in the minors this year during the game today....99 hits and 27 walks in 89 innings.

Sox need to welcome him rudely to the big leagues in his first MLB start.

 

Kuroda has been good this year and Nova is 9-2,so no picnic,but it sure beats facing CC and Pettitte.

:P

Yankee stadium is a tough place to win at, I predict 2 wins at most.

I hope Swisher the clown plays like he did when he was with the sox.

I expect Rios to go back to his lousy self.

I'm happy Freddy just pitched, he probably would have beaten us in a start.

Good luck to Paulie and AJ.

viva la 2005.
