Wild play helps Red Sox and hurts Damon

2008-07-05T13:49:00.003-04:00

Yesterday was the 4th of July and it was also George Steinbrunner's birthday so something weird had to happen, right? And so there was something weird. In the 3rd inning, Red Sox Kevin Youkilis hit a line drive that Yankees Johnny Damon caught in his glove but then he crashed into the wall and the ball bounced on top of the outfield wall and sat there for a second and then landed back inside the park for it to still be a fair/live ball and not a home run. Youkilis ended up with a 2-run triple, while Damon came out of the game with a sprained and bruised left shoulder. You can watch the video of this crazy play below. If the video doesn't work, you can find the link to watch this play on BostonRedSox.com.

Manny is the man

2008-04-18T15:58:00.009-04:00

The Red Sox won last night 7-5 with the offensive power of Manny Ramirez. So far this young season Ramirez has been on fire. Last night Manny hit went 3 for 5 with two home runs off of Mike Mussina, 3 RBIs, and 3 runs scored. In the 7th inning though, Yankees reliever Kyle Farnsworth threw a pitch 97 mph fastball behind Ramirez's neck on the first pitch to him. After the game Farnsworth said "It just slipped. I was trying to be aggressive and go in on him." After the game Ramirez said "We hit one of the best players and I guess they want to send a message and that's what they did. They've got to back up their players and he did."

Derek Jeter had this to say about the Farnsworth pitch, "He said it got away, so I guess that's the end of it. I get hit all the time. Getting hit hurts. Close doesn't hurt."
