Sweet creamy jebus, he CAME THROUGH!

[OilCanShotTupac]

Nice piece of hitting, Millar. Just like July 24 - taking Mo to right center.

[CaptainLaddie]

No Tek?

[Alacoldart]

YES! KEVIN! LIFE!

LET'S GO 'TEK!

Can we move Bill Mueller up here? Please? Just this once?

Wait...Olerud?

Hmm....

[onesoxyladee]

Thanks for the cock tease, Millar. If indeed this is a loss, it's going to hurt like fucking hell.

[Pearl Wilson]

Millar! Please Olerud bring Manny home!

[FredLynnsGlove]

ALIVE

[normstalls]

come on JohnnyO!!!!!!!!!!!

[jtn46]

C'mon Olerud!!!

[Soxfan in Fla]

Fuck yeahc Kevin, Come on OLDERDUDE!~!!!!!!

[Southpaw67]

Tek on deck. Hope it's not too little too late.

[switchhitter33]

I feel like I'm going to throw up.

[jtn46]

Holy crap I don't know how he took that 1-1 pitch.

[Alacoldart]

I feel like I'm going to throw up.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I'm going to if Olerud doesn't get it done.

Edit: Toilet here I come. Absolutely disgusting. Fuck Randy Johnson. Can't beat the worst team in his own division and he gets 4 Ws against us. Piece of shit. Friday's ugliness really hurts now.

Oh well, at least we still have that fantastic 3.0 game lead! Which is one game worse than what we had coming in.

Fuck you, Giambi. You should have been banned from the game. Just like the rest of the steroid users.

[switchhitter33]

Fuck fuck fuck fuck.

[Southpaw67]

Oh No.
No No No No NO NO NO!!!

[jtn46]

Damn. He missed his spot by 2 feet but Olerud was too inside conscious.

HGH assisted homer is the difference, that's a real kick in the balls.

[savage362]

Fuckin beat by a little league home run.

[LateRally]

Dammit, that hurts. 3 up better than 1 up I guess.

[Gene Conleys Plane Ticket]

What really galls is that you don't have to be a genius to figure out what's going on with Giambi this year, so to be beaten by a cheater -- again -- is really infuriating.

[soxfaninyankeeland]

That was a great game. As much as I hate to do it, you just have to give the other guys credit today.

[reggiecleveland]

I thought our best chance was Millar to drive in the run, sadly I was right.

[Manuel Scoreboard]

Dammit. And dammit.

Great, great, great performance by Wakes. ... I don't leave this one feeling too down. If our pitching keeps up this way, we'll be fine.

[onesoxyladee]

That pitch was right down the middle. I, for one, am pissed that we saw Olerud with the game on the line, not Varitek. Varitek has much better numbers. What a freakin' shame of a game.

[gcapalbo]

Wake deserved better...

I said it before the series... we just needed to win 1 this weekend

... they needed a sweep to keep any kind of chance alive for the division, let alone the wildcard.

Their season is on life support, and they're heading into Tampa Bay.

Time for some payback in Toronto.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I won't have a lot of pity for him when he goes Lyle Alzado

[Soxfan in Fla]

Shit, fuck, shit fuck and some more shit. Why not Tek there?

[jtn46]

The lesson MLB is giving is, use PED's. It wins you baseball games and makes you an assload of money.

[Alacoldart]

TC and Eck fellating Johnson on Extra Innings...thanks guys, just what I need to here.

I have to go back to work for 4 more hours after this dog of a loss. Family Guy better be fucking hysterical tonight.

[purist]

Yeah..ya almost wish they woulda blown us out. Way too bad for Wake.

Fuck Giambi! Again!

[Pandemonium67]

Not down the middle - high and on the outer half. A tough pitch to hit. I think Tino made the right moves letting Millar hit and then using Olerud. Almost worked out, and if nothing else, it took 40 high-stress pitches out of Fruitbat's arm.

[Southpaw67]

Wake pitched such a beautiful game. I will lay bets that in the post-game interview he will blame himself for the loss though. "One bad pitch"...

Hey, we didn't get the breaks today, that's the way the cookie crumbled for us.

Ladies and Gents, we are STILL in FIRST PLACE by 3, no need to visit the Zakim Bridge yet (hey, could you even get in between all those wires?).

[bosoxx05]

How much longer before Rivera retires?

[jtn46]

If Edgar's linedrive is 2 inches higher they tie that game up.

[JBill]

They did make Rivera work at the end, just came up a little short. Too bad for Wake...

Would've liked to have left five up, but I'll take three.

[btfoz]

Somebody make that bitch piss his roid juice into a fucking cup right now

[onesoxyladee]

My headache just got worse when I remembered we're facing the Blue Jays and TED LILY tomorrow. Ugh.

[CaptainLaddie]

This was, without a doubt, the game of the year - even if the Sox lost.

High drama, great pitching... the only thing it was missing was a happy ending.

It's too bad the only run was by a known steroid user, but still.

[Gene Conleys Plane Ticket]

Yo have absolutely no proof that Giambi is taking any steroids or any other banned substancces.

You just sound like a whiney fan

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

If you hire Robert DeNiro's housekeeper and then your stuff starts disappearing, I guess you'll just sound like a whiney homeowner.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

There's certainly no "evidence" however, MLB doesn't test for HGH, only for steroids. Giambi is an admitted cheater. What makes you think that he wouldn't cheat with another substance that's untested?

[Pumpsie]

Well, this was the most important game of the year...so far...and Randy Johnson comes through like a Hall of Famer, justifying his salary and the Yanks' confidence in him, and our offense is completely shut down.

If we had won this game, the pressure would be incredible on the Yankees in the coming weeks. But, now the pressure is squarely on us.

Damn.

What a lost opportunity.

We can't pooch any games now. Francona is going to have to do his job and ensure everyone is properly focused for every game. No more 4-error games.

What an enormous win for the Yankees.

Damn.

[epraz]

No, the pressure is still on the Yankees. To make the playoffs. Which they wouldn't do if the season ended today, the win notwithstanding.

[JohnMal]

- I think the MFYs needed a sweep to put pressure on us.

- I'll take Wake on my team anyday.

- It is good to see the Sox getting men on against fruitbat.

- I concure with everyone here who wanted to see Tek at the end.

[RusterK]

Just got back from the Toilet a little while ago. Very rarely does the actual event live up to the hype (especially with these two teams). Well, the atmosphere there was just fantastic. I think the 9/11 anniversary subdued the CFY cretin crowd a bit, so people were generally civil, and the focus was on a fantastic pitchers' duel. It did suck that the Sox lost this one, but I didn't really come away discouraged.

A couple of observations:

The CFY fans positively HATE Big Papi. The loathing that came out of that crowd when he was announced as a PH was deafening.

Their worship (deserved) of the Fruit Bat is actually a thing to behold. The cheer that came up when his music came on was quite impressive. Those New York fans really know how to seranade one of their immortals. Oh, unless he happens to blow a game or two in April. Then he gets showered with boos. Fucktards.

Bubba Crosby runs REALLY fast. And his theme music is Weezer's "Hash Pipe". Too bad he plays for Satan, or I'd like him.

I could not disagree more. If we had won yesterday's game, then yes. But we failed.

Now, the Yanks have dodged a big bullet and are coming up on our right shoulder, just as the Indians are coming up on the inside fast (two games behind and the best team in the AL right now). We've given both of them hope that they can catch us, and we're in the position of looking over BOTH our shoulders (division and wild card). They both have a little extra hop in their step today and we don't. That's a bad thing.

We can very easily be on the outside looking in within a week if we don't start playing better than we are right now. Monster series coming up.

The team which has ME most worried is the Indians. They certainly are playing with the least pressure of all the contenders and playing the best. I wouldn't be the least surprised if they ended up with the second-best record in the AL. I'm rooting for the Twinkies tonight. Otherwise, the Indians might be only 1 1/2 games behind by evening's end.

We're three games up with twenty to play. We lost a one-nothing game with our fourth starter against our chief rival's ace. The sky is hardly falling. You need to take a deep breath.

Huh? Am I missing something? I thought we won yesterday. The Yankees do not hold a playoff spot right now.
