Red Sox 07 game 15 in game posting

In game thoughts -

Top 1st-

• 0-2 Damon, foul ball, 4-3 ground out. Looks like good movement on FB.
• 0-0 Jeter pops up first pitch to Lowell
• 1-1 Abreu sends Coco to the deep part of the park. 8 pitches and Schilling is done

B 1st -

• Lugo down 0-2 and grounds out to Jeter
• Ouch Youkilis hit on the hand on o-2 pitch
• Papi, Pettitte wants no part of Big Papi.
• ok, we have a hit batsman - 4 pitch walk and you swing at the 1st pitch for a 6-4-3 gdp?
• Sometimes the greatest right handed hitter makes me puke.

T 2nd -

• Hottest man alive 1-1 (foul) runs the count to 2 - 2 before hitting a bomb to Coco
• Giambi hits the 1-2 pitch deep to Manny (is the wind blowing in?)
• Posada hits the first pitch deep to Coco. I seem to be writing the word Coco a lot.

B 2nd -

• J.D. Drew single to center
• Of course Lowell hits the GDP on a change up.
• Way to snap out of the slump Varitek

T 3rd -

• 19th pitch is a ball to Cano
• 3 - 0 to Cano who hits Curt pretty well, so he is nibbling a way. 3-1 pitch single to left
• Cabrera stands in, wonder what his numbers are against the Sox. 2-0 pitch fouled off followed by single to center. Schill goes 2 -0 to two batters and they both get singles.
• M alphabet lays down the sac bunt.
• Sox killer JD steps in and we need the K. ugh, rbi for J.D. on the 1-1 pitch.
• Schilling owns Jeter - and starts him off with a fast ball for a strike. 2-1 after missing with the FB. Jeter yaps on the called strike 2. Full count - come on Schill. groan a walk
• Abreu owns Schilling hitting in the .370 range. He is one of the batters I highlighted because he does seem to have Schilling's numbers. (Matsuzaka disease, having a hard time finding the plate as he goes 2-1 to Abreu). Nice splitter there - and a K on the fifth pitch to Abreu.

B 3rd -

• Coco and Pedroia make the automatic outs
• Lugo - way to work the walk from the 0-2 count.
• grrr - Youk just misses a hit down the 3b line.
• Youk singles deep to short. Ok time for Big Papi
• 1-1 to Papi, lets make him work but we need Papi to do something because Manny will blow it
• Aaaargh into the shift, 2nd time in 3 innings we let him off the hook.

T 4th-

• A - rod goes deep on the 0-1 pitch. 2 - 0 spankees. Schill is struggling
• K for Giambi.
• 2-2 to Posada - Posada owns Schilling almost .500 OBP. Double down the line ugly
• Cano grounds to Youk on the first pitch.
• Cabrera - remember his catch against Manny last year in NY to preserve the 2-1 yankee win. That was the start of the downfall in my mind. 59 pitches takes him to 1-2.

B 4th -

• 6o pitches for Schilling - 42 in the last two innings, not good, looks like an early night for the bullpen. Title for game 15 post on 38 pitches.com "I sucked"
• ??? Posada is out of the game?
• Great success against Pettitte but Manny continues his struggles against Left handers as he K's.
• J.D. stands in, need a HR J.D., because nobody is going to knock you in buddy.
• Pettitte is approaching 6o pitches as Abreu tries to steal a single from J.D.
• Mr. Double play steps in.
• Well no double play as J.D. is thrown out. Missed sign?
• jeez - wall single for Lowell.
• If this becomes a battle of bull pens, my money is on the spankees. Torre hasn't had a chance to burn them out yet.
• Tek goes deep - yippee as we tie the game up.
• Coco - keep it going buddy - Full count, watch for the curve ball. ooh, cutter. Well, so, much for that as he ground out to jetes.

T 5th -

• Both pitchers have faced 17 batters. Not great pitching but of equal value as the 2 - 2 score shows.
• Doug M- jeez full count to M alphabet? whew - Coco is getting his moneys worth in CF.
• 1-2 to mr. I'll never play for NY unless they pay me a ton of money. KKK
• Jetes gets a single (2 - 1 or 2 - 0 or 3 - 0 counts have hits or a walk). Schilling is really struggling.
• Marsh stay behind the plate - and call a d*** strike will you.
• 2-0 goes for a single - grrr.
• Since the second it seems like Schill has constantly been behind the hitters.
• aaaghhhh 3 run homer on a 2 - 1 pitch.
• Giambi follows with a single
• Christ that did it, its time to pull Schilling. He's done

B 5th -

• Well what did you expect 1-2-3 inning.
• Anemic offense again tonight which will continue until they move Coco to the 2nd spot.

T 6th -

• 3 pitches 2 outs
• gets dougie m on a ground out - seven pitches and that takes him to 94?

B 6th -

• Papi, should of taken one for the team there bub.
• see, ground out to first.
• another 1st pitch swing by Manny for an out, let us make it easy for him ok boys.
• J.D. hits another single, well at least someone came ready to hit.
• Last out Lowell strikes again. Does Schilling start the seventh?

T 7th -

• Schilling starts the inning with 93 pitches. Not sure this is a good move.
• Romero getting up to face Abreu?
• KKKK for damon.
• Nice play by Julio - to get jetes
• K on Abreu - over 100 pitches for Schilling so let's hope this is it.

To paraphrase the Dunkin Dougnuts - time to get ready for work. An OK outing by Schilling, but I was really expecting better from him. Should be interesting to see the 38 pitch entry.
