Like I said at the bottom of the last page ... it is only one game. Ebbs and flows of the season, shit like this is going to happen (although, this is 2 straight games for the Joba/Mo combo to blow games late).

Granted, if the Sox and Yanks are going to keep relying on the likes of Darnell McDonald, Jeremy Hermida, Marcus Thames and Randy Winn at the end of ball games ... the Rays are probably going to run away with the division, all these guys aren't the caliber of player either team is used to putting heavy milage on.

A surprising no show form neilybabes this morning in this thead, or the Sox thread. That cat chatters like no one's business and calls people out when they aren't around after a tough loss.

Absolutely man, some are just tougher to swallow than others. Like I said, gotta move on and rebound today. Just a frustrating couple games, even with the big win.

I hear you on that, although hopefully the Yanks get some of their guys back soon to stop relying on them. Winn didn't ahve a shot against Papelbon last night. Swisher and Posada should be back today or tomorrow I think, and Granderson at the end of the month, early June. Those three in the lineup instead of what they have will make a big difference.

Rays are hot but have had a fairly easy schedule. They will come back down to earth, hopefully today and tomorrow.

Was there a setback with Cameron? Thought I might have heard about something minor.

It looks like Ellsbury is going to beat him back off the DL ... who freakin' knows anymore with Cameron, first it was a side strain, then an appendicitis, then kidney stones ... Sox are throwing out more fake signals about his injury than Belichick.

Eh, I hate to say it, but their pitching is for real. And, it's real young. Garza, Shields, Price, Niemann and Davis ... all 5 have ERAs under 3.4 ... 3 of them are 2.5 and under.

rival.

what's with a 2 game series? would love a rubber match tonight.

bring on the rays though. 40 games into the season and looks like they are here to stay. HUGE series. hopefully burnett can rebound from his fenway meltdown.

randy winn. i cringe when i see that guy at the plate. he looks like a 14 year old taking the weakest hacks at the ball.

No doubt about it but they have played a pretty easy schedule so far and are not going to have a win % of .718 all year, they are good, but not this good.

Just going to copy and paste from LoHud since I am so sick of this shit.

Nick Swisher tried to swing left-handed last night in the late innings and felt more discomfort in his biceps. Jorge Posada is going for an MRI because the problem in his foot still hasn’t gone away.

As singularity correctly noted, he looks like a 14 year old at the plate. It is brutal. It's like he doesn't have a shot when he steps into the box.

Man, The Rays are no joke for sure.

note to MLB: if the can't-hit-their-way-out-of-a-paper-bag GIANTS give up on a hitter, he's done.

Now Thames you gotta be fucking kidding me

Cliffy6745

Boone loogan is so bad. The yanks struggles last year went to late June, hopefully they can stay afloat weather the storm and tear it up againin the 2nd half. Just get them healthy

Fractured foot, could miss up to a month.

Even with the injuries they're still scoring 6 runs. I hope Montero or Romine come up. And not Moeller.

Don't bet on it. If you assume Cervelli is the starter five out of every seven games is it really logical to let one of those two sit when they could be playing every day in the minors?

they can dh a game or 2. And it'll be for 3 weeks.

I wonder if they'll put Nick Johnson on the 40 man to make room for the new catcher.

They can but I doubt they want do it without the promise of regular at-bats even for three or four weeks.

Cliffy6745

I can't wait to see both of them play but it's too early. Romine has been mashing but is in AA and Montero struggled out of the gate, no need to throw either of them into the fire yet.

I would imagine Johnson will be placed on the 60 day DL to clear a spot. They are definitely going to need 2 position players though. This is gettign frustrating.

Cliffy6745

Johnson to 60 day, Moeller up

How about sending a pitcher down and bringing up another position player ASAP?!?!?!?!?!?!

Roster moves via Lo Hud

Mark Melancon to Scranton.
Jorge Posada to the DL.
Chad Moeller contract purchased.
Kevin Russo recalled.
Nick Johnson to 60-day DL
