Why is Ponson still in the game?
With all the brain cells alcohol has stolen from you, you shouldn't be talking about forgetfulness, Bucko. :P

Ponson's performance here really shines a light on what a great outing Wang had today, He really didn't have great stuff, but he stuck it out and made HUGE pitches when he absolutely had to.
WANG...where is my AUTOMOBILE...?
Ponson pitching is like Russian roulette except there are 4 bullets in the gun

Villone in the game.
I gotta commend the guy, he went to Joe, and said "I wanna pitch if you need me."
Guy is a real gamer. Let's see if he can do it.
And that will be it for Sir Sid ... up to the pen now.
Here's Everyday Ron with the bases loaded ... no outs ... and guess who up. Yes, him.

He's our 6th starter, though. I wanna see the team with 6 capable starters, we have 5 guys I trust to give me 5 innings 4 runs.

And that was REALLY close to Ortiz.

Ponson? I have to imagine he gets his walking papers after tonight. Yanks pen will be totally cooked, and no use carrying dead weight in Ponson. He's terrible and won't be available for several days- double whammy. Call up Karstens to be the long guy if needed.
And this umpire is as bad as it's been this year. Both teams getting wildly inconsistent calls. But MLB is totally clueless to umpires- a major embarrassment for the league to pay no attention to scheduling other than cost saving measures by keeping them close to home.

By the way....anyone not realizing the stark difference in this game needs to look a bit deeper. The Sox NEED Lester to be decent. The Yanks threw their #6 starter tonight, and likely have better options for long men in AAA.
good point. We also won the first game, so we're in better shape.

Its played up to the train wreck we predicted it would be.
Actually, this is more like two cargo trains carrying explosive payloads crashing head on into the twisted, broken-up fuselage that has crashed on the tracks following a horrific mid-air collision.

Sucks that we've scored 7 runs in the first 4 innings and still arent winning. Don't see that very often.
Thankfully, we don't see Sidney Ponson that often.

Villone should have started this game
See Tanyon Sturtze: July 4, 2005.
Anyway, thank you Ron for coming in and wiping Ponson's ass for him. Now can we give this guy 2 days off?
dabomb2045
08-18-06, 09:10 PM
Nice job by Villone. Bases loaded 0 out with Manny and Ortiz up, to get out of that only giving up 2 runs is pretty good.
Villone save our ass once again.
Who pitches the 5th, 6th and 7th?

08-18-06, 09:10 PM
nice job by villone. maybe the sox won't score for once next inning...maybe?
Metroidman
08-18-06, 09:10 PM
Villone needs the next 4 games OFF
I realize in the grand scheme of things, Ponson was a cheap option to try out....but does anyone else still get the creeps from seeing Ponson in a Yankee uniform? Weird (and a sight I hope I never see again after tonight)
Why do umpires suck so much in general these days? I really don't get it. Do they not get the training that umpires used to get? :confused:
The fact of the matter is that it is a very difficult job. Competition is very fierce with so many aspiring umpires and the slow turnover rate, with guys doing it into their 60s. You know all those minor league umpires? They have goals too, so for one to get to the majors means two things, they are very good and they god lucky.

That was a HUUUUUUUGE out right there.
Yanks have the advantage due to bullpens right now...

Careful
Dude, I checked. I'm pretty sure about it. I'm OLD.
one good thing about today
we've proved that Clippard and Hughes are probably no worse than Lester
Ponson's line is complete: Three innings pitched, six ER allowed, for an ERA, for this game, of 18.0. :mad:
Surely ANY of the SPs in Columbus could have done better than that. But ... as I'm fond of saying ... hindsight is fifty fifty. :(

Ponson? I have to imagine he gets his walking papers after tonight. Yanks pen will be totally cooked, and no use carrying dead weight in Ponson. He's terrible and won't be available for several days- double whammy. Call up Karstens to be the long guy if needed.
:clap:
Amen.

Who is gonna pitch the rest of the game?
At this rate, who is going to pitch the game tomorrow?
We really need to beat up on the Sox relievers tonight. Another TD would do just fine.

08-18-06, 09:12 PM
one question, why is that even though we have 4 reliable relievers this year, the pen is still overworked ?? if we had a 4th guy the past 2 years we wouldve been in good shape right ?? did our starters go deeper last year but pitched worse and this year theyre pitching better but not as deep ?? bad pen management by torre ?? i mean thats a given but i thought even torre couldnt overwork 4 bullpen guys.
Bruney needs to go 2 innings tonight. Wish Ron hadn't pitched yesterday.....

Our pen is pretty thin too. I mean we are gonna have to use someone like Bruney now. I see that being worse then them using a guy like Tavarez.

The Yanks threw their #6 starter tonight, and likely have better options for long men in AAA.I have been trying to make the point that this was an emegency start for Sid since the second inning.
Thanks for doing so in clear concise English (I was apparently fresh out of that commodity after work).

INNING OVER
That was a HUUUUUUUGE out right there.
Yanks have the advantage due to bullpens right now...
It's definitely a factor. We can get 3 innings from Farnsworth + Mo. We need to squeeze a couple more innings out of the pen before the 7th. If we can put up some runs, Joe can throw Bruney out there.

Unfortunately, we're down to Brad & Soriambi, and Big E.

I'm glad they are raising money but they might interrupt long enough to notice there's a game...

Good evening everyone......
I had the non-pleasure of listening to Ponson giving up the lead on the ride home from the restaurant. Looks like it's going to be one of those crazy Fenway Park games between 2 beat up pitching staffs when you can't ever score enough runs.
