I still am baffled why they used Pedro last night. It really wasn't neccessary.

Lescanic has a shoulder ready to fall off. Lowe was going on 2days rest and had a pitch count limit of 60 and was only left in because he was doing so well. The pen was tired and could use the extra rest. Wake is starting game #1. Hence, having Pedro come an eat an inning... I know, it didn't make sense to me at first either... but after putting everything together it made sense. |

no VEL, it makes no sence to pull out a guy who's pitched only 69 pitches and has a one hit masterful game going, not to mention a large lead. Pedro was a bust in that game and gave the Yankees a spark. Short lived, but it was exactly what the Red Sox didn't want.
You and everyone else would have been calling for Franconna's head if the game was closer and or was lost because of that move. OMG. |

Francona announced BEFORE THE GAME! Lowe was on a 60 pitch count, and yeah... when you have a big lead, and looks like your going to be playing 4-7 more games you think ahead and you don't want to kill an arm. No one knows how Schill will be again... can they sutcher the tenden in place again? Wake is going game #1, right now schill is penciled for #2, Pedro #3 and Lowe #4, meaning they didn't want to burn lowes arm when he just threw 2 days before. The pen was a mess, Foulke had gone 4days in a row, etc... etc... They needed someone to eat an inning, someone to not blow the whole game but get out of an inning... that was Pedro. Does the move make sense if it was 3-2? No, but guess what... the score wasn't 3-2 and you make different decisions, based on the score. On a side yanks note... funny stat... every year there payroll has been over 100million they haven't won a WS. |

It was a bad decision that he got away with. Plain and simple. Lowe could esily have eaten another inning. Why push Pedro to the 3rd start? That's stupid. Is he not the best you've got discounting Shilling? He should still get the nod for game 1, but way to chance getting him arm hurt or confidence shattered.

Yeah but Hero with or without Pedro, he needs to get his rest. Hell they all need to get their rest.

What if lowe next inning went 20pitches? what then? you'd complain he should have pulled them, and lowe's a headcase, that would kill his confidence, where Pedro can bounce back. Wake goes game #1, cause he can eat innings and come back on short rest incase they need him from the Pen. Schill goes #2 and #6 because they don't want him on the base paths (1,2,6,7 are at Fenway). |

Id much rather face the Cardinals then the 'Stros in the series, Astros have been way too hot lately. And their pitching staff is ridiculous
I dunno though, would be cool again facing Clemens, but there is a good chance he probably wouldn't even pitch in Fenway anyways so I dunno |

Yeah the Cardinals don't really have any stand out pitchers, and that's pretty much what's going to stop the Red Sox from hitting well unless no one is clutch in the series.

Dunno, the Stros has 2 solid starters and a great closer, but they have no middle relief...
The Cards are solid/good from start to end... although watching that closer freak out is funny. |

No, I didn't kill myself
, I am here after a long day of taking shit from some people. Yeah, so that was definately the worst sports moment of all-time for me. It even beats out watching Ken Griffey JR. rounding 3rd and scoring the winning run in the 1995 Divisional Series Playoffs off a Edgar Martinez Double. Or watching Louis Gonzolez bloop one into center.Yea, I'll change the dam avatar because I'm good like that. I'll just curse the dam thing and make the Sox lose then I ain't rooting for the Sox unlike some other so called "Yankee" fans in here. I can't do it and never will. And I will say this though, good series, good TV, good times.....for a few days. Just don't Fuck it up now boys. I can just see that ball going under Ortiz's legs. Cards IN 7. |

And just to get my thoughts out on NY. I said in the BEG. of the season that Brown would be a bad move for NY. Then he got hott and I sort of retracted that statement. But look what happened. It bit us in the ass at the end. Stein is probably steaming right now. Torre's not gone, but others might be. A bunch of pitchers are probably gone and some other crappy guys liek shitty Tony Clark.
![]() We need pitching for next year and that's that. Except for Brown, our starters did great in the playoffs. It was the middle- late relief that fucked everything up. And Vazquez and Loaiza (sp) were eathier hot or cold. Except for Games 3 and 7 the games were quite close with Boston. It's just Boston got the big hits late and they didn't get the bad luck this time. If A-ROD was called safe on that play, I'm telling you we would be in the Series right now. That was the moment that was going to decide it and we didn't get lucky.

Great series, just wish I didn't see all the bandwagon jumping and whatnot. Also, if you would remember last year about this time all the Sox fans were flipping out and cussing people out, but I don't see that happening by the Yankees fans here. |

I know, I'm just pissed he didn't pull a Boone in Game 6 in the 9th.
And yeah, what's with all the Sox fans in here all of a sudden. haha. Or maybe they just hate the Yankees and were waiting for the right spot to come in and kick us when we're down. |

Outlaw, not accusing you of anything (weve been over this before), but with the teams you root for it doesn't seem right for you to accuse people of jumping bandwagons.
