Yanks lead 2-0 in sixth

The Yankees now have a 2-0 lead on the Red Sox. Robinson Cano hit another solo home run to leftcenter field off Schilling. Red Sox are still in search of their first hit. It's midway thru the 6th.

Finally a hit by Lowell, great job by Wang so far!

why did Francona get tossed?

Francona was arguing that about Youkillis being called out for running out of the baseline.

PTRS,

Was he out of the baseline?

Yeah there was play where he was running to third and A-Rod tried to tag him but he went into the infield grass avoiding the tag.

Dustin Pedroia!!

I hate that little manchild!!

Joba's ERA...

Good job by Joba!

ZERO

I'd like to see the Yanks push another run or 2 across this inning.

Boston has Ortiz, Youkilis and Lowell in the top of the 9th.

That's a little better.

Whew.

Varitek (hopefully) throws the game away!!!

GET OUT THE BROOMS!!

Don't count your broomsticks before they're swept.

Why do we hate Youkillis?

Joba for the 9th.

I guess we won't need him against Tampa Bay.

Joba for 2nd inning with a 5 run lead? I guess the Yankees don't think they will need him against TB.

nice post John G

WTF just happened to Joba?

98 mph over your head twice is no kind of fun...

Poor Youk...He looks so persecuted LOL

Why in the world was Joba pitching the 9th anyway?!?!?

And how can you throw out the guy when he didn't even hit Youkilis?!?!?

Couldn't tell if it was intentional or not

LOL... Joba has to rest for 1 and 1/3 days.

I don't think that he was trying to throw at him. It looks like they got away.

The question now is...

Is something wrong with Joba?

i am having really REALLY scary visions of rick ankiel. and not the OF...

Now he'll only be available for one game in the Seattle series.

It was intentional

The last time the Yankees swept the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium was June 29-July 1, 2004

How'd that year work out for ya?

Exactley!

Learn how to spell numbnuts!!!

2004, not so good History Buff. How did the other 90+ years work out for you?

Guess What?

BOSTON SUCKS!

After the Red Sox went 5 out of 6 in the first 6 games, we go 7 for 9.

Now, hopefully, we won't have a letdown against Tampa Bay.

The Red Sox get Baltimore next, don't they?

Youk's head is so big it has a gravitational pull of its own - curious if MLB will suspend Joba.

He got tossed Chip so I guess he's getting suspended. Isn't that the rule?

John G

i think a suspension is given if a pitcher throws at a hitter after both benches have been warned. That wasn't the case here.

But they're cracking down on manager's uniforms, so who knows?

I can't think of a reason for Joba to headhunt Youkilis, unless Youkilis' jawboning earlier in the game had something to do with it. Joba HAS been a control pitcher until now.

It's weird, but maybe it keeps hitters from digging in against him from now on.

How does 1/3 if an inning factor into Joba rules?

CS,

Thanks Man. I guess that we'll have to wait and see how it goes.

Ed,

If they don't bend the rules, my guess would be that they'll round that 1/3 up so in effect, it would count as 2 innings pitched.

I don't care if he doesn't face Tampa Bay. The other guys in the pen should be able to do the job against those guys.

What bothers me is that if he does pitch against Tampa Bay, then he would only be available for one game against Seattle.

No-nothing is wrong with Joba you idiot.He was sending a message but not trying to hit him. The open season on Yankee batters is going to stop and Youkilis is a cry baby, the perfect @sshole to use to make your point.
