Tim Wakefield, 0-0. 2.70 ERA

Wakefield was 1-0 with a 1.83 ERA vs the Yankees last year. He had a very decent start against them this year, going 6 2/3 IP and getting up two runs...both on solo shot HR. I'd take that start any day of the week. Kevin Millar and Doug Mirabelli can hit Mussina, but hopefully the bats will come alive for the rest of the lineup too.

This is the longest morning of my life. B)

Can't wait for the rings. I think MLB.com is showing just the ring ceremony for free.

Classic moments:
Rivera getting a bigger ovation than any sox player
Pesky saying "Leskanic, you son of a bitch"

[stocker323]

2 run homer, by Mirabelli. 2-0 Sox.

[element1151]

Nice early lead for Sox.

[yeszir]

The bases are chock full of sox for Millar. We need to capitalize.

[yeszir]

4-0, thank you Kevin Millar. :D

Looks like our offense decided to show up today.

[ACL BoSox]

Rent is kinda frustrating, but he's got some leeway with some big hits, but we could've really done the Yankees in with another run there.

[element1151]

That was horrible.

[Zenny]

Renteria and Moose both suck.

[element1151]

HAHA, nice play A Rod!

[element1151]

WOW! Off Sheff's glove, 2 runs score!

[yeszir]

The Yankees look more helpless than we do. I love it!

[stocker323]

Sox blow it open, 7-1. A-Rod with the key error.

[Soxfan#1]

4-0, thank you Kevin Millar. :D

And A-rod getting booed. That rivera thing was awesome. I give respect to the yankees for watching. I think they understand they had their time now its our turn.

[Sizzlin22]

Aaaaaaaa Rodddddddddddd!!!!!!!!!

[Zenny]

Next Sox game I go to, I'm going to start a Hanley chant when Renteria comes up to the plate.

[ACL BoSox]

I have to say. Of all our starters... Wakefield has given us the two strongest outings... why can't we get this guy an extension... at least as like a bullpen guy.

Don't you mean when Damon comes up to the plate?

Oh man, I crack myself up. :lol:

[stocker323]

Sox win 8-1. Sox and Yanks both now have the same record and looking up at those 1st place Blue Jays.

[element1151]

Great game. Everything I expceted at home.

[Sox fan in Tex]

Yankees suck. :)

This was a perfect day. I tried to watch the feed on mlb.com but it locked up alot. It was great to see Dave Roberts!!! Does anyone have a tape of the pregame ceremony and is willing to make a copy???

[yankthis]

Anybody seen that mattress commercial where Wakefield throws a pitch to the Furniture Dorf and the ball does a wacky loop around the guy's head? Yeah, bwoy!

I have it on my Tivo, unfortunately the VCR, doesn't work on that TV.

[Manny24]

Finally I am able to check theses forums with my head heald high!!! What do you guys think will be the "theme" for this year (cowboy up, idiots) or is it to early to tell?

[DOrtiz4prez]

That was great when we gave Arod a standing ovation when he made a play. I couldn't stop laughing.

[CalvnHobs6]

I thought Arod getting the standing O when he made a clean-ish play at third was classic.

I guess when Wells pitches you'll start a Papelbon chant.
