5/22/06 - Yankees at Red Sox (Wang vs. Schilling)

[nyyterp]

I like this matchup and the injury depleted yankees need an emotional boost going into June. Red Sox lead the season series 3-1, and I would like to see NYY spanking Schilling.

(I am putting my unbeaten GT streak on the line for this. )

NYY: RHP Chien-Ming Wang (4-1, 3.79 ERA)
Wang is 0-1 with a 4.41 ERA in three career games against the Red Sox. The Yankees are 5-4 in Wang's nine games started this season, averaging 5.1 runs per outing.
BOS: RHP Curt Schilling (6-2, 4.17 ERA)
During Schilling's recent four-game win streak, the right-hander has given up only five earned runs and four walks while striking out 23 in 28 innings pitched.
Player to watch
Alex Rodriguez (4-for-22, .182) and Jason Giambi (5-for-18, .278) may have just nine hits combined against Schilling, but five of those hits have been home runs.

[nyyterp]

lineup :

Johnny Damon DH
Derek Jeter SS
Jason Giambi 1B
Alex Rodríguez 3B
Jorge Posada C
Robinson Canó 2B
Bernie Williams, CF
Terrence Long LF
Melky Cabrera RF

we get Posada back, but we lose Damon in the field. Long in LF and Bernie in CF would normally spell trouble, but Wang is pitching, so the OF defense should hold up until the bullpen takes over.

i guess i like this lineup with this pitcher better than with any other pitcher.

[goin for 27]

Red Sox Lineup tonight
1. Kevin Youkilis, 1B
2. Mark Loretta, 2B
3. David Ortiz, DH
4. Manny Ramirez, LF
5. Trot Nixon, RF
6. Jason Varitek, C
7. Mike Lowell, 3B
8. Willie Harris, CF
9. Alex Cora, SS
-- Curt Schilling, SP

Wily Mo Pena strained his wrist in BP, much rather face Harris. Speedy, but can't hit.

Hey anybody know if Sam18 is back from his "Spanking" yet....with all that free publicity for NYY.Fans they should let him out of the corner to take his Curtin Call.

How long are you normally out? I'm curious (for when it happens to me).

[montrealer]

Depends....Sam18 is repeat offender Forum policy is that they don`t comment .

[SoCal Pinstriper]

How long are you normally out? I'm curious (for when it happens to me).

We don't publicly discuss disciplinary actions taken with individual members out of respect to their privacy.

As to how long someone is normally out, it depends entirely on the immediate situation at hand, and that person's track record on the site. Suspensions can range from a few days to a complete ban. Game Thread access can also be restricted. Really, none of this happens very often, and we try to exercise good judgement and restraint in the rare instances that it is necessary.

I havn't noticed anything that would lead me to believe that you have anything to worry about.

I'm happy to answer specific questions about policy to the best of my ability by PM. I really do not want to turn the GT into a forum for these issues.

Welcome everyone.

Go Yankees!

[TalkYank]

Good evening everyone! I hope everyone is well!

[ICEBERG18]

Sheff is 1-1 so far (Base hit to CF.) in his rehab assignment.

[wardsp]

I am feeling strangely optimistic about this game. It's beautiful here in NYC and I guess I just had a good day.

[apolansk]

Just Win, Baby.

[BeantownYankee]

I like the idea of Damon DH'ing tonight. He won't have to deal with the idiots in the stands....

[CoyoteYankee]

Hello thread heads! I'm popping in to say hello then popping back out to go home from work. I'll be popping back in when I get home. (whew! that's a lot of popping!)

[ZYanksRule]

Good evening everyone... one of the 3 days a week I'm not at the internship, so I'm here tonight...

Let's see Schilling get spanked again.

[ICEBERG18]

Melky, do your best in RF. Wang throw strikes.

[PettittesPrincess]

Let's Go Yankees!!

[ZYanksRule]

STOP CALLING HIM BIG PAPI!!!!!!!!!!

Good freakin lord Kenny, the name is David Ortiz.

[fredgmuggs]

Hidee ho everyone! Lets play ball...............

[Gringaloca]

Hey all Threadheads!...Lets start this series off with a W tonight...spank Schilling and keep Ortiz at minimal damage...

Wang's last outing against Tex was fantastic... 8 IP, 6 hits, 3 ER's...81 pc....I'd love to see a repeat performance tonight.

LETS GO YANKEES!!!

[jlw1980]

[jlw1980]

The Sux won't be beating Wang tonight!!

[JDPNYY]

The Sux won't be beating Wang tonight!!

Not during the baseball game, anyway.

[destiNY]

Wow that lineup already looks significantly better

[DandyAndy46]

I hate having to watch Yanks/Sox on NESN...

[TalkYank]

It's on ESPN for me...

Good evening everyone, beat the Sox! Beat them hard especially Redlight.

[SoCal Pinstriper]

I hate having to watch Yanks/Sox on NESN...

Also on ESPN tonight (not that ESPN represents much of an improvment).

[destiNY]

honestly, its better than ESPN...at least we don't have to listen to Gammons. I like Orsillo, but Remy is pretty horrible.

I don't mind Remy so much....Orsillo is tough to take sometimes though...hanky wavin homer

[SoCal Pinstriper]

Orsillo and Remy are really pretty fair to the opposition. The pull for their team (and employers), but do not hesitate to criticise the Sox or complement the enemy. They are really about as palitable as could be expected from a Yankee fan's POV.

[CanoForPresident]

our second straight game against a pitcher who usually gets an uber generous strike zone

[fredgmuggs]

I don't get NESN anymore. Does Remy still promote his hot dog stand and website every other inning? That was a little tough to take.

[SoCal Pinstriper]

It was annoying. I honestly have not watched enough of the Sox this year to say if it has continued this season.

I agree with you on Orsillo, but I watch Remy everyday and some of his comments I can't deal with

[knickfan23]

NESN is cool. They are pretty fair and dont schill as much as you may think.

[#1PaFan]

Good evening, Heads! OK, time to kick some Pink Sox Ass.

[PettittesPrincess]

ESPN for me too

[apolansk]

To repeat my favorite quote from last night, that I'm sure will wind up being pertinent tonight

I wonder if they have a life-sized doll of Ortiz in the booth that they service in between innings.

[CptCrunch]

Let's go Johnny!

[apolansk]

Until Lou gets here I'll give us the much needed(now that I know what it means)

Si vinci.

I'm glad you got that straightened out.

Second pitch time: 7:11 :wink:

[DandyAndy46]

We're Doomed!!!

[SoCal Pinstriper]
