the thing is that… we have much more mistakes today then boston, and thats y we lost.

first of all, when Wang is piching on the mound, that means there will be a lot of groundballs which then means the infielders will do more job and it requires a better defence.

so, i dont think that Jiambi should have played today on first base, although we need his power, we can put him to like.. CF… and make Belhorn play first… because Jiambi has made quite a few errors by now, and we see a big one today which could end up to be 3-3

then, there comes Sierra, who i hate to say, but he pretty much fucked up the whole lineup for the last 15 games w/ only like 8 hit out of 50 abs

we had a chance to jump big on the sox today at top of first inning, however, Posada fucked up that ab too, which then brings up Sierra, who couldnt hit the ball, and then we left the inning with bases loaded w/ 1 run scored.

it became obvious that we get a whole at our number 6~8 today, which cause us a game

for Wang, i think that we did pretty well today. consider that hes only a rookie, and the atmosphere and the pressure that he gets for today’s game, and the ump today had a weird K zone that fraustrated us, not only our batter, but also wang.

so, overall
1. wang did pretty well, allowed 4 hits but 6 balls, 5 runs w/ 3 earned, which is not that bad for a rookie at Fenway Park, although he was shaky sometimes, there wasnt a true big inning lost by him
2. Wells pitched well today, along with Timlin, which really limited our score down
3. As the intention gets higher, we are not afford to make errors, which will eventually come back and bite us.
4. Some adjustments has to be made to our line up.. althought i hate to say this, but it seems that Sierra and Williams are not going to help much more down to the strech, so we might consider to give these spots to other players who can hit…

ya..thats bout it for now… two more games and then we are done for this season, and lets focus on the post season from there, shall we?

1) Why the fuck is Sierra playing. I’d rather Bubba in CF and Bernie DH.

2) Posada let us down big time.

3) Sheff was missing from the offense.

4) Wang had trouble in the 5th (?) – but I can’t blame him. He’s a rookie – the pressure got to him and the defense let him down.

5) Francona did what I wish Joe would have done all season – match up pitcher to batter – perhaps then Sturtze and Gordon wouldn’t be so tired now.

6) Shit shit shit shit fuck fuck fuck fuck. It’s going to come down to Sunday no matter what the Yanks do tomorrow.
