Howard back for Phils, who really need to at least win 2 this weekend. Kendrick actually has good numbers vs. Atlanta but Strasburg in a favorable match-up...

And Kuroda vs. Beckett should be interesting. Despite being in NY and from Overseas, I actually think Kuroda doesn't get enough credit for a good season.

Personally, I'd like to see Peavy get another great outing before the break.

Good season? More like GREAT Season!

Other than a couple of early season starts where he got roughed up, he has been outstanding.

Josh Beckett can't throw a damn strike.

Slow start hides how good he has been lately.

But non-All Star Saltalamacchia sure knows how to hit a homer....tie game, folks!!! 5-5

Mastroianni batting 2nd for the Twins tonight.

You always block out 4 - 4 1/2 hours for Yanks/Sox but this could go 6+ plus. Bad when pitchers can't hit the zone or miss a bat.

What?

this game is full of lolz.

You ain't kidding! Anytime these teams play each other it really isn't over until it's over!

I was going to ask what team he played for but saw afterward that you posted the team. ::facepalm::

Going to be a battle of the bullpens tonight, because these starters are not going to last another 2 innings....

Who knows, now Beckett has gone and struck out the last four batters.

Suuuure.

Since June Darin is hitting 0.354 in his limited playing time. Went 3 for 4 last night stealing second and third twice.

 

[scotty216brs]

Yeah he definitely settled in nicely, which is good. Not need to tax our BP this early in the series. And WOW does Darnell McDonald look weird in a Yanks uni with his dreads cut off...looks nothing like him. I know Yankee fans are gonna like him though

Can Worthless Martin break his current o'fer 28 streak?

Martin can't hit.

Thank god Martin didn't sign the 3 year contract.
