Doubront and Pettitte are the southpaws in question. The Yanks are responsible for one of Doubront’s worst recent performances (though his last against the White Sox also wasn’t so good), while Pettitte has done rather well in his 3 starts against the Sox on the year. Welp, we’ll see if Boston gets closer to a potential division crown or NY tries to inch up on TB. Comment away.

Doubront needs to get his shit together. These walks are going to kill him.
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 7:55 pm
Doubront at 49 pitches after 2!
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 7:57 pm
Walks to Reynolds and Stewart. Way to go, Doubie! Five walks total now.
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 8:38 pm
And of course they both score on Gardner’s triple. Terrible day for Doubront. So who’s going to the pen once Buchholz returns?
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 8:42 pm
Rubby de la Rose?
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 8:45 pm
Rubby de la Rosa?
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 8:45 pm
Strikes out Jeter. That’s a start.
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 8:46 pm
Middlebrooks home run. That’s another step.
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 8:49 pm
De la Rosa can’t stop the bleeding either.
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 9:03 pm
Kinda expected…just save the real bullpen for tomorrow.
Devine September 6, 2013 at 9:20 pm
8-4, bases loaded. That’d be a nice moment for Big Papi to hit one out. But first the pitching change.
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 9:37 pm
Come on, big man. (Still think resting Taz/Breslow justified…)
Devine September 6, 2013 at 9:40 pm
Strikes out looking! Napoli now.
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 9:43 pm
Yesssss! Napoli!!!!!!
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 9:48 pm
Did Ichiro underestimate that?
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 9:50 pm
OMG, HE DIDN’T K!!!!
Devine September 6, 2013 at 9:55 pm
Well, as Pete Abe wrote: If you’re focussing on the K’s you’re missing the big picture.
I’m guilty.
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 10:02 pm
Workman in, strikes out Soriano.
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 10:02 pm
8 pitches, 3 out, that’s the way to do it.
Lackey again must be thinking why he can’t get some of that run support.
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 10:06 pm
Middlebrooks single. He’s making a strong case for himself to be next year’s third baseman.
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 10:11 pm
Victorino goes deep!! 10-8!!!
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 10:12 pm
Hahahaha, this is amazing!
Devine September 6, 2013 at 10:12 pm
Joba … that looks promising.
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 10:16 pm
IBB to Big Papi. Yeah, what has that Napoli guy done for us lately?
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 10:19 pm
Napoli walks. Bags full. How about it, Nava?
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 10:22 pm
Daniel walks. 11-8.
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 10:26 pm
Drew single makes it 12-8. Just love it.
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 10:27 pm
Workman walks Nunez, in comes Morales.
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 10:39 pm
Stewart is going 0-23 and they walk him twice tonight!
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 10:43 pm
Koji warming up.
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 10:44 pm
Wild pitch, damn.
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 10:46 pm
But Gardner strikes out.
Three more outs to go.
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 10:46 pm
Koji time.
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 11:03 pm
Magic #…15.
Devine September 6, 2013 at 11:13 pm
Think using Koji might be slight overkill…should get the next 2 (and by off-day extension, 3) days off.
Devine September 6, 2013 at 11:14 pm
Well, they had him get up just in case and I think the idea is to always use him once he has warmed up.
Nice win, but there’s really no need to give up eight runs every night …
With Lackey and Lester coming up I’m definitely hoping for a series win now.
pale blue eyes September 6, 2013 at 11:26 pm
The horror…….the horror…………..the…horror………………….
IronHorse-yf September 7, 2013 at 2:08 am
14 and the Rays are 7.5 back. Wow.
Devine September 7, 2013 at 2:09 am
Starting in the fall of 1981, I have tried to tell myself that it’s just plain stupid to personalize what happens in a major-league baseball game when one is just an observer and to imagine that what happens is a reflection on one’s self or – more accurately – has anything to do with the sphere of influence of the observer. There’s no feedback loop. It’s folly to think that if somehow one could be a better person/fan, the team would have been better, or that an individual fan’s deficits somehow punish the team’s chances to succeed, or that one’s virtues are collateral to a team’s success.
I’m still just plain stupid.
Oh my God, what two more awful games to watch as a Yankee fan have happened?
attackgerbil September 7, 2013 at 11:08 am
I just want to say I know EXACTLY what you mean, gerb, very well expressed. I’d also add that it seems foolish to allow one’s emotions to be so tied to the outcome of something completely out of one’s control. Feels worse to lose (in my experience) than it feels good to win. And I truly feel for you. Feel bad for Hughes as far as the Yanks themselves go.
