To call this game a pitcher's duel is like calling Mount Washington a bump in the earth.
Wang is simply dealing - he's thrown all of 39 pitches through four innings and hasn't allowed a hit. Clay Buchholz struggled a bit in the top of the fifth, but Alberto Gonzalez picked him up by mooning around off first. Cabrera hit a line drive, Sean Casey snagged it, and Alberto was doubled off.
There's been a lot of anti-Yankee booing coming out of the stands today, and it kind of proves that Beans and Bronx-ers speak different languages.
Bronx: Giambino's done so much ta ovahcome injuries. Jay-son! Jay-son!
Bean: You wicked roidah! Boo!
Bronx: Jo-ba! Jo-ba!
Bean: O-ka-jima!
Bronx: Moooooooooooooose!
Bean: Boooooooooooooooos!
At least we can agree on one thing ...
Bronx: A-Rod's a bum!
Bean: A-Rod's a bum!
The Sox are going to have to work the count a little more if they are going to win this game.
Wait a minute ... J.D. Drew just went deep! Bobby Abreu had a chance at the wall, but he flubbed it! Beans 1, Bronx 1!
