if i were either of these managers i woulnd't bother wasting my pitchers for the rest of this series. Throw your 3rd base coach out there to pitch or something.
If the Yankees win this game, they will coast for the rest of the series I think. Moose is going tomorrow and if he bombas, he bombas. Lidle on Monday is eh.
Papelbon in the 7th is extremely risky for Francona.
7 outs could ruin him for the rest of the series if he is needed, and his effectiveness COULD potentially decrease in the 9th, when he is most important.
But I get the feeling you are tongue in cheek here.
edit: beckett WALKS IN a run, A-rod is happy he didn't have to do shit.
I'm so ****ing sick of Yankee-Red Sox series. It brings out the worst of both teams. Offensively bad slugfests, terrible pitching, horrible defense, disgusting crowd behavior, mass media orgy, and Josh Beckett's ugly face.
