August 18, 2007 Yankees 9, Red Sox 7 (11)
| AAARGH!! That is all I can say about this game. After the Red Sox were down 6-2 early, they battle back to tie the game 7-all in the 8th. But, I had to go to the bullpen early due to Jason Johnson sucking, and in game 2 of a doubleheader going to the bullpen in the 6th is never good. 9 walks for the Sox pitchers, which is why so many were used. In the 10th, had to use Foulke again after he had pitched in the opener, and when he allowed a couple of hits one in the 10th and one in the 11th, I figured I had better take him out. There were only two piychers left in the bullpen - Manny Declarmen and Craig Hansen. Declarmen pitched 2 innings in game 1, so I had to go with Hansen the absolute last thing I wanted to do. What does he do - first batter Johnny Damon blasts a 2-run homer to give the Yanks the 9-7 lead, and that is the final. The Yankees ran roughshod on the bases with 5 steals, 4 against Johnson. But, when he is a +9 holding runners, and there are guys like Bobby Abreu and Derek Jeter on the other team, that is to be expected. I will put the play account after the box score for you so you can follow everything. |
