    Yep, if both pitchers are on this game could come down to a bloop and a blast.

    Sale will be tough to beat. Tanaka needs to come full circle to be on Sale's level. Then again, when these two teams meet
    in Fenway, it could be a slugfest. Throw out all past stats...............as long as the Yankees jolt these Bobosox.

    Just a note: Yankees have already won half of the games won last year at Fenway! For those
    with a short memory, Yankees won only two games last year at Fenway.

    Based on my experiences in Japan may I recommend Akadama. A sweet wine that will knock one out of the park.

    You never know, maybe Sale will not like the unis selected for the game, go beserk, and be pulled from his assignment.

    I'm not sure if Joe's sitting Bird down against as tough a southpaw as they come, to boost his platooning confidence??? Sooner of later, Joe's going to have to use Bird vs lefties, or deal with another blown failure to develop a damn fine young player....

    Birds vs Lefties: AB's-45/ B'Avg: .222
    Bird vs Righties: 163/ B'Avg: .227

    take the shot Joe, send Carter Home (for good), and play Bird, sink, swim, or fly like a Bird-

    I just looked up Akadama, and all i can find is soil for Bonsai plants, j/k....:blush:
    I'll take a trip to the Asian Grocery store, come Tank's next outing, to find the elusive Akadama. I've long enjoyed a good port, -

    YF5545, the Akadama you speak of, is it a Port or Plum vino....

    looks like Akadama has quit a few vintage vinos...

    The whiskey in Japan then Torys or Suntorys tasted like crap. When going local it was Sapporo Beer or Akadama or Akidoo as we called it. Yep that stuff fueled some good raunches. Tried Sake but never really liked.

    ...memo to the rest of the offense...take note of Torreyes' approach to Sale, ...cut down on your swing and simply concentrate on making contact.


    ...and oh, Ellsbury, take the fucking bat off your shoulders and swing instead of watching 2 called third strikes go by.

    ...good defensive turn of the DP by Carter...kinda made up for the DP he hit into himself earlier.
