Damn those injuries as Matsui strikes out for the third out with men on 2nd and 3rd.

Seriously though, it seems like the yankees get screwed every april with these injuries. I'm sure if this had happened to the sox there would be quite a lot of whining around here

I guess losing Schilling for possibly the year and losing Lowell for most of April is nothing. Colon has had an injury setback. Not to mention losing Casey and being forced to play Lowrie. What about the week we had the flu and Lester had to go on 3 days rest and going to the minors for masterson? Nah, we never have injuries. We just keep winning despite the injuries, so there is no need to whine. Here's a clue. Your team isn't losing because of the injuries. It's losing because of overhyped rookies, over-the-hill position players and a crappy bullpen.

Woah man I hope you don't think i'm a Yanks fan...that would be a pretty awful insult

Anyway i understand your point about the injuries, but A-Rod is possibly the best player in baseball and Posada is their catcher and when a catcher is injured it devastes a team ( i.e 2006) Every team is going to have to deal with injuries throughout the season but my point was that it seems to happen to the yankees each april and i can see where it would be frustrating to the fans

I apologize sincerely for my mistake. I was confused. I promise that I will not make that mistake again. I just slapped myself on the wrist.

Lol. Its cool. Well back to the game: still 3-0 going into the ninth. Lee was impressive with 7IP 6 H and ZERO walks. I have no idea when the hell he decided to get so good.

Lee's ERA: 0.81 damnnn

The stands at Yankee Stadium are pretty much empty in the 9th inning down 3-0. They know that their team is cooked for the night. The Red Sox on the other hand are never out of it.

Ballgame.

3-0 Indians.

Wrong thread. EDIT

Cliff Lee was as advertised. Wang still pitched a pretty good game, but the offense couldn't do anything for him. Oh well, onto tomorrow...

a700hitter · 05-07-2008, 11:15 PM

The Yankees are really rolling some crap out there--- Ensberg, Gonzalez, Aballadelehoo, moeller, shelley duncan, etc. These are Yankees? They've earned their pinstripes and are part of the evil empire?
