Is Bucky Dent throwing out the first pitch?

 

[Carnzo]

On the local news last night they talked about him on the sports and then back to the anchor and said he has a middle name in Boston.
I about spit up my beer.

We just need a replay of what happened last time they matched up at fenway

no J.D. and Sale

WTF on Sale!!!?!?

 

[nynasty]

Sale makes sense. He just pitched a day ago. Martinez not even on as a pinch hitter is a surprise.

 

[nynasty]

Why would they leave that Japanese guy off? He always seemed to be pretty effective to me.

Martinez has a sprained ankle.the Japanese guy is a mystery to me.

and do they really need 3 catchers? So yeah... Sawamara should be on the roster

 

[nynasty]

Yanks also carrying 3 catchers, and 12 pitchers. Some speed off the bench with Wade and Allen.

October 20, 2004: Let’s just forget this one ever happened​

Look, I don’t want to think about this one either, so we’re going to go through this one pretty quickly. The Yankees took a 3-0 lead in the ALCS, a New York Giants fan made a deal with the devil to guarantee two Super Bowl wins over the New England Patriots, and the Yankees proceeded to suffer for it.

Okay, that’s not how it happened — but it sure seemed that way. After the Yankees dominated the first three games, including a 19-8 beatdown of the Red Sox in Fenway in Game 3, the Yankees lost back-to-back extra-inning games at Fenway and the infamous “Bloody Sock” game in the Bronx.

On that day — one which will live in infamy in the Bronx — the beleaguered Kevin Brown got the start and proceeded to surrender 5 runs in 1.1 innings, including a first-inning home run off the bat of David Ortiz. Javier Vázquez relieved him, allowing three runs in two innings of work. In the meantime, David Lowe, starting on just two days’ rest, allowed only one run in six innings of work.

The Yankees would score two runs off Martínez in the seventh, but it didn’t matter. The Red Sox ended the series with a blowout, 10-3 victory, leaving a bad taste in ours months

I wonder what the yanks are going to do without Lemahieu? I would put Urchella at 3rd and start Wade at SS. They could go with Odor at 3rd and Urchella at SS but Odor is hitting 200, as is Higgy who will be catching, Gallo is hitting under 200 and Gardner is clocking in around 225. At least Wade is fast and batting in the 260's. Maybe Stanton in left, sit Gallo's pathetic ass and maybe DH Sanchez but he's been just as bad as Gallo the last 30 games.

Gardner was under .200 at the start of August. So 225 is actually pretty damn good.
