New York Yankees & Boston Red Sox facing off again

August 7th, 2009

The New York Yankees and The Boston Red Soxs are at it again. What more needs to be said about the rivalry between these 2 star teams? This rivalry has been going on for over 75 years. The Yankees have pretty much owned this rivalry; the last few years the Red Sox have been the winning team. This was no difference this year; the Red Sox are 8-0 against the Yankees this season. Pitching is a big key in this series, like it always is.

Thursday on the mound for the Red Sox was their newly acquired pitcher Jon Smoltz. Smoltz has been knocked around a bit this season; the velocity has been there for him. The location is what has been the problem for Smoltz, he’s missing spots and it’s costing him a ton of runs. The Yankees send Joba Chamberlain to the mount to counteract the potent Red Sox offense. Joba pitched extremely well in his last start; Smoltz is a different story. In Smoltzs last 4 starts he is 1-3 giving up 24 earned runs in 20 innings. Tonight it seemed like he didn’t have it again either, the Yankee’s lineup, which has no hole from 1-9, took roughed him up a bit. Yankee great Thurman Munson died recently, so catch Jorge Posada tribute him by wearing # 15 on his catching mask during the game. Posada had a fantastic game, a game that Munson would have been proud of. Posada had 3 hits and 3 RBIs in the game. It wasn’t just Posada that helped the Yankees end their drought against the Red Sox. Melky Cabrera nailed a three-run homerun in the win. Teixeira and Damon also added some runs to the 13-6 win on Thursday. Chamberlain had some command problems; he issued 7 walks but lasted enough to win his 4th straight start. Jason Bay, who leads the Red Sox in homeruns was out for this game, this could have had an impact on the run production for the Sox. Red Sox trainers are not sure when Bay will return to the lineup. With the victory the Yankees lead the Red Sox by 3 ½ games. Red Sox slugger David Ortiz was heavily booed at the New Yankee Stadium, which was expected by the harsh Yankee fans. Ortiz was just announced to have been 1 of the 104 players to have used some sort of illegal drug in 2003.

Reggie Wayne shows up for Colts Training Camp in Dump Truck

August 6th, 2009

Hey everyone, we just wanted to show all you NFL buffs who may not have seen this yet just how cool Reggie Wayne is. Always a top 5 receiver every year, Wayne doesn’t get the attention he sometimes deserves becuase he’s not as loud or flamboyant as OchoCinco or a few others. Anyway, it’s pretty funny.
