D00d, Sojo's clutch! Plus, he's got the 'good face' and mad intangibles. He's no Clutchville, but he'll do. Boone, on the other hand... well, it's like comparing Gonad Fur to Whitesnake. No contest.

Also, when is Aaron Boone going to be benched? He isn't doing ANYTHING at the plate, and his fielding hasn't been anything special.. Go put in Enrique Wilson or even Luis Sojo. Both those guys are more clutch and will produce more then Boone.

Expect to see Wilson at 3rd again with Pedro pitching. I'd rather have Boone's glove out there, but Wilson seems to know how to hit Pedro.

Ditto.

Hopefully, the Cubs will win tonight. This way, no matter what, I have someone to root for. If it's Sox vs Marlins, I'm not even going to bother to watch.

Cubs vs anyone will make for a great series though. Of course, I'm still rooting for my Yanks. But, if they were to lose, I'd MUCH rather it vs the Cubs then the Sox

I have a bad feeling that Pedro is going to dominate the Yanks in game 7. We really needed to win the game tonight.

Don't even say that. I'm worried enough as it is. I know the Yankees have Pedro's number. But IT'S PEDRO. Who knows what he will come out with.

Pedro is 9-9 with a 2.90 ERA against the Yankees. I think it's safe to say that the Yankees pitchers have the Sox hitters' number when Pedro pitches

Here's a good question for you Yankee fans. Why is Bernie Williams batting 4th game after game? His average is .188 this series with 1 rbi, and to me it just seems like he is past his prime. If Posada or Matsui hit there, a lot more production would occur IMO.

The Yankees do not have Pedro's number. Once again, what about Clemens 8.50+ ERA against the Sox this year?

Hey now, don't go interjecting your "stats" and "logic" into the discussion.

CommishJoe · 10-15-2003, 11:00 PM

All I can say is .. we'll know tomorrow night. We should all know that this series is too unpredictable to try to say who's got an edge.

I disagree with that 100%. Obviously Rocket and the Yankees already beat Pedro once this series, but I don't think it's unrealistic to say the Sox have an advantage going in.

About as unrealistic as it was to say the Yankees had an edge going into yesterday's game. All signs pointed to it, but look who won. About as unrealistic to say that the Red Sox had an edge going into game 3 tied at one with Pedro going. Look who won.

Edges mean nothing in this series.

Edges mean nothing in this series.

If that's true please ask Mr. Torre to send Jeff Weaver to the mound this evening

Obviously in a short series anything can happen, as it already has, but edges still matter.

Not as bad as a Denton post, but you're getting closer.

In this series, it all comes down to who plays better. Red Sox had an edge in game 3 while the Yanks had the edge in game 6. Both lost those games. "Edges" mean nothing in this series. It's not like the Sox are being spotted any runs.

Don't hand the Sox their Championship just yet. The game still has to be played. It's got the makings of a good one though. Time won't go by fast enough today.

I fail to see how that was anything like a Denton post. I haven't said anything about the Sox even winning tonight. I don't want to jinx them. I wouldn't ever count the Yankees out before the final out of this series. You said edges don't matter and I disagree. The Red Sox have a better chance to win with Pedro on the mound than they do with Jeff Suppan. Same with the Yankees and Roger vs Weaver. Sorry if the sarcasm came off the wrong way. My basic point is that you put your best players in the positions where they can give you an 'edge' and give you the best chance to win. Obviously the games still have to be played.

And my point is that, so far, the team with the "edge" has lost. Pettitte has been the Yankees best post-season pitcher, while Burkett is, well, Burkett. They lost. The Red Sox had their best pitcher on the mound in game 3. They lost.

The comparison between starting Weaver and starting Clemens was what I was referring to Denton with. It's apples and oranges, and isn't happening, so it has nothing to do with this conversation. Starting Weaver would be assinine, and has no relevance to this conversation. The comparison to Denton might have gone a bit overboard though.

The Red Sox don't have an edge until Pedro shows he's better then what he was in game 3. They don't have an edge just because he's on the mound. THAT is my point. Talking about edges before game time in this series is pointless.

I understand your point but just because the edges haven't panned out in this series doesn't mean you stop trying to create them. For the sake of comparison, Trot homered off a LHP last night but if I were Torre I'd bring in the lefty to face him in a similar situation tonight.
