So what your saying then is the game will be close?

Salty, you must be prayin for a rainout. Thank god this decision is in the hands of MLB and not Darth Steinbrenner!

Re: Official Game 6 thread (Bos vs. NY, like duhhhh)
 

Do you really think a rainout favors NY that much? Boston's pen is probably in worse shape than NY's, and at least the Yankees know their starter will be able to pitch. I think momentum means a lot less than that, especially since the game is in New York.

That being said, Go Sox.

You know, I could really go for a nice Sox blowout victory. Having the Sox put up 8 in the first three innings and cruise to a 10-2 or so victory would do my heart and stomach a lot of good.

If we must go another 14, though, that's fine - just get me that 'W'.

Definite ixnay to a rainout. We got all the momemtum now(yes I know, momemtum in baseball is as good as your next day's starting pitcher) and I don't agree that our bullpen is in worse shape simply because our bullpen is deeper.

They basically have 3 guys they trust and one of them, Quantril is hurt. The other two, Gordon and Rivera have been maxed out so who can they go to?

I guess the big thing for me is, if you expect Schilling to pitch well and the Sox to hit Lieber, then Rivera and Gordon don't enter into it nearly as much as whoever the Sox will use to close it out. And since the Sox pen is pretty much maxed out (you're right, btw; the Yanks pen isn't in any better shape). But if the game gets pushed til tomorrow and Schilling outpitches Lieber then, you can turn it over to Embree/Timlin/Foulke a lot more comfortably than you could tonight.

Of course, there's no guarantee that Schilling will pitch well, or even be able to pitch for very long at all. But if that's the case, you're better off with a rested bullpen, too. At least the Yankees know Lieber can physically throw 5 innings.
