Yankees@Red Sox GAME 1, August 18th, 2006

[Jdkush10]

Let's go Robbie, continue that hot streak!

[NYIndian2005]

Giambi and ARod cant bring runners home with no outs ????

[cupcollector99]

Canown him Robbie..

[Mark19]

Giambi needs to get out of his slump pronto

the Yanks rarely score runs during innings 2-6

[aeromac76]

Cmon Robbie, off the pesky pole...

[BroadwayBomber55]

Come on Robbie, professional run-scoring hit to leftfield.

[simmy886]

Wow...

it's 10 minutes into this game and I'm already EXTREMELY pissed off at Joe Torre. Must he be so conservative every time they play the Sux?

That probably wouldn't have been a sac fly, but then again with first base open they may have pitched ARod differently. He should have tried to steal.

[nnysiny]

terrible

[bcom33]

siigggggh..... DAMN IT!

[In Mo I Trust]

Wasted opportunity

[DaYanks24]

Terrible, pathetic inning

[TwentySeven]

Cano since coming off the DL: .342 3 HR 7 RBI 1.070 OPS

[NYIndian2005]

this would really stink if we only come away with one run in this inning.

[hobokenfish]

Disgusting. It's nice and all that they make pitchers work, but a rally would be nice once in a while.

[keithf1]

yESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[CptCrunch]

Ugh, should've scored more than a run...

[Yankees8185]

A terrible job there. You must up at least 2-3 runs.

[Jersey Yankee]

How could we only get 1 run on that leadoff triple?

[ICEBERG18]

Giambi and A-rod miss mistakes and Cano swings at crap.

[TheBamTino24]

And the lack of production in key situations continues.

[simmy886]

They may have blown their biggest chance of the game.
Of course Johnson is trash so hopefully it doesn't come back to bite us in the tush.

[b_joseph]

Way to help Wang out, guys!!!

[aeromac76]

Boy why do I get the sinking feeling we will be regretting this inning in about 2 hours...

[knickfan23]

Ugh..I see those storm clouds again.

[NYIndian2005]

I am really getting tired of ARod not producing.

[TheMick@ND]

29 pitches is a plus but three straight hits and then three straight outs is not. Let's go Wang.

[dabomb2045]

I dont care that we scored 1....thats a horrible inning. 1st and 2nd 0 out with Giambi,ARod and Cano coming up against a ................ty pitcher like Johnson?? You HAVE to score more.

[Yanksin2k6]

WOW. That inning was a real waste of time. They should have put at least 3 up there. I hope they dont start this crap where they are going to make this pitcher look like Cy young!!

[Toaderly]

Oh, well. Good inning. Ate a lot of pitches and got on the board.

[BroadwayBomber55]

Let's go CMW. We need a clean, effective 1-2-3 inning.

[iWant27]

man i hate when yankees play in fenway against red sox . i just dont like it . i just dont feel normal . i am always a pitch away from throwing up . i just dont like it . i just dont like it man . i hate that park and their fans . i dont know man i just dont like it .

[simmy886]

Make him throw at leats 35 this inning. C'Mon guys.

25 with 1 out, finishes the inning off with 29.

[Kluivert4Ever]

Not good, not good at all.

A-Rod and Giambi missed huge opportunities there.

[yankee48104]

We will get plenty of other opportunities.

Let's go Wang!!! Make Johnson come right back out there....

[BRNXBMRS]

Boy why do I get the sinking feeling we will be regretting this inning in about 2 hours...

I hope that wasnt their only chance to bury the Sox. Watch Johnson turn into Cy Young.

[Jersey Yankee]

Disgusting. It's nice and all that they make pitchers work, but a rally would be nice once in a while.

29 pitches in the 1st, unless they suddenly put the ball into play on the 1st pitch, I'd say he's out after 3-4 innings. However, we need to pile on the runs. Can't strand runners like that.

[Tifoso]

Terrible, pathetic inning

How do you figure? We scored 1 (more would have been nice, sure) and made them pitch 30 pitches or so.

We keep it up, and their bullpen will be stretched.

[gold23]

This is why Alex gets his rap....he missed two unbelievably fat pitches in that ab.

[ICEBERG18]

And it's not like Johnson got them out on great pitches.

[iodon]

I see that there are quite a few people pretending to work today...

[Kulish29]

I hate when they have a pitcher on the ropes and dont take advantage.

[Nettles9]

i'm really getting tired of innings like that.

[JamieMadrox]

they've already made jason johnson look like a complete fool when he was on cleveland.

now that he's on the red sox is he going to look like cy young? man that inning was UGLY. this entire team is slumping offensively other than damon.

[als3]

Ugh..I see those storm clouds again.

knickfan, that's a beautiful picture!

[Darth_Takeo]

This is consisent with the Yankees normal procedure as of late; turn a 6+ ERA pitcher into a phenom.

[BroadwayBomber55]

HEY! Enough with the doom and gloom. Get your noses dirty.

[TwentySeven]

We will get plenty of other opportunities.

Let's go Wang!!! Make Johnson come right back out there....

Yeah! Three pitches for three outs!

[Jersey Yankee]

Not good, not good at all.

A-Rod and Giambi missed huge opportunities there.

A walk would've put pressure on. Not even advancing a runner either.

[iWant27]

Boy why do I get the sinking feeling we will be regretting this inning in about 2 hours...

i do . i always get this feeling when yankees play red sox . its always that stupid park is so favourable to pink sox .

[hobokenfish]

29 pitches in the 1st, unless they suddenly put the ball into play on the 1st pitch, I'd say he's out after 3-4 innings. However, we need to pile on the runs. Can't strand runners like that.

That has been their m.o. lately -- make the pitchers work, but then leave a small army on base. Awful ABs by Giambi and A-Rod.
