Spring Training Game 16: Yanks @ Red Sox

Spring Training Game 16
Yankees @ Red Sox
City of Palms Park - Fort Myers, FL
Game Time: 7:15 p.m.
TV/radio: NESN, MLB Network,
but only if you live outside the NY area. Thanks YES!

Here are the lineups:

YANKEES
Brett Gardner CF
Cody Ransom 3B
Juan Miranda 1B
Xavier Nady RF
John Rodriguez DH
Jose Molina C
Shelley Duncan LF
Angel Berroa 2B
Ramiro Pena SS

Pitching: Chien-Ming Wang, Brett Tomko, Mike Dunn, and Anthony Claggett.

RED SOX
Jacoby Ellsbury CF
Julio Lugo SS
David Ortiz DH
Mike Lowell 3B
J.D. Drew RF
Jason Bay LF

George Kottaras C
Angel Chavez 2B

Pitching: Tim Wakefield, Jonathan Papelbon, Takashi Saito, Daniel Bard and Junichi Tazawa.

You can follow the game live on MLB.com's live boxscore.

Even though the game is on TV tonight the updates will be a little slow because of YES network and their stupid blackout rules. However, a couple of people with NESN will be posting updates in the comments section.

UPDATE 7:42 p.m.: The Yankees scored a run in the top of 2nd on an Angel Berroa single.

In the bottom half of the inning Mike Lowell tied up the game with a solo homer.

UPDATE 7:55 p.m.: Rough inning for Wang. Six runs, only one was earned, though. David Ortiz hit a 2-run homer in the inning. Wang is done: 1.2 IP, 6 H, 7 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K.

7-1 Red Sox.

UPDATE 8:27 p.m.: The Yankees cut the Sox lead to three. Xavier Nady drove in two with a triple, and Jose Molina drove in another with a single.

7-4 Red Sox.

UPDATE 8:55 p.m.: Brett Tomko had a very nice outing tonight. He went 3.1 innings, allowing just two hits and striking out five. The Yankees still trail 7-4.

UPDATE 9:55 p.m.: The Sox just scored another run on a sac-fly.

8-4 Red Sox.

UPDATE 10:08 p.m.: That's the ballgame. Sox win 8-4.

Stick around and discuss the game
as it happens in the comments section.

Bentton said...

and that ball was foul!

Ya, a win would be nice.

I dont have cable or the MLB package, but if you do and get the online access with your subscription I wonder if you could watch it online by accessing the MLB TV website through a proxy server that is outside the NYC area. Or do they track your account by zipcode? in which case of course you should get a billing address outside NYC.

Anonymous said...

You should get it on the computer Will.

Greg Cohen said...

OK, since I don't have NESN, can those of you that do please post updates?

Bentton said...

i think they do it by zip code, but i'm not really sure.

Bentton said...

Anonymous said...

I still have s shot, i'm only 13 years old. I throw pretty fast for my age.

Greg Cohen said...

I grew up in NYC, and my stupid high school didn't have a team. We only had a softball team.

Bentton said...

Gardner got robbed of an at bat last half inning. The pitch was way outside he actually started aruging with the ump after the at bat.

Anonymous said...

That must of sucked for you. I'm trying out for my middle school team in 2 weeks.

By the way, I went to see how fast I throw. I can throw around 83.

Bentton said...

that's pretty darn fast. hope you make the team man!

Greg Cohen said...

Yeah good luck Liam.

Geeeez... rough inning.

Anonymous said...

A single Greg for when it was 5-1. I don't know who hit the single.

Anonymous said...

I think everyone will have a bad start this spring. So maybe I shouldn't pitch.

Anonymous said...

YES have obligations to the Nets. They have to air the net games @ 9

Greg Cohen said...

That's fine, but they could have not blacked out the MLB Network from airing the game.

Bentton said...

see, it's been a while since i've lived in nyc, so i thought that the YES network was cool. after hearing all these things tonight, it makes me rethink that

Anonymous said...

give that little fish, give me that fish. Thats whats happening now.

Greg Cohen said...

Overall YES is very good, but when it comes to blackout rules it sucks.

Ransom with a triple

Bentton said...

i feel u greg
ransom had a homer, that looked like a homer to me. but hey, a triple is better than nothing!

Anonymous said...

Miranda hit by pitch. Runners on the corners with no outs.

It did look like a homer.

Bentton said...

I'm impressed with Tomko, he uselly stinks but he has a shot on being the long relifer.

mlb 2k9 vs. mlb 09: the show

which one do ya'll think is better?

Anonymous said...

Nationals sign Ohlendorf

Anonymous said...

MLB 09!!!!

Greg Cohen said...

I haven't played 2K9, but The Show is awesome.

Anonymous said...

I don't realy like 2k sports that much.

Bentton said...

see, i got a 360 for madden. but now i want a ps3 cause of the show. i've always loved the show. i had 2k8 last year, and that game sucked big time!

Greg Cohen said...

I heard this year's 2K9 was better than last year, but it's still not as good as The Show. I think this year's version of The Show is by far the best baseball game I've ever played.

Anonymous said...

I have ps3. I just got it. I finshed gta 4 so i'm waiting until I have enough money to get it. $50.25 I have

Bentton said...

from what i've seen, the show seems to be madd nice. i like that litte video they made for the new yankee stadium. the music is so theatrical lol!

Anonymous said...

The game is still 7-4.

Bentton said...

ok, i see when NESN goes to a commercial break, they play some hot music. they just played twista's "overnight celebrity". why can't YES play hot music when they go to commercial breaks? it's always the same music!

Anonymous said...

They don't want to spend money. lol

Greg Cohen said...

What kind of music does NESN play?

Bentton said...

all types. they did rap, r&b, rock.

Greg Cohen said...

That's cool, I think YES is too wrapped up in the whole Yankee-way stuff to do anything like that.

Greg Cohen said...

Oh, by the way, there will be a small new stadium update after the game tonight. They put up more ads around the outfield.

Bentton said...

YES! maybe it's me, but i like seeing newe pics of the stadium. i dont live in ny anymore to see the place, so the pics put up on here is as close to the new place i'll get, until this summer when i go back home!

speaking of stadiums, what's the status of the lone one across the street?

Greg Cohen said...

As of now it's just sitting there empty.

Bentton said...

at least i'll still get to take pics of it this summer!

Anonymous said...

How come wang got only 1 earned run?
Where are the rest of the 6?
How many runs were scored on errors?

Anonymous said...

Igawa is running on the warning tracks out in the outfield. lol

Greg Cohen said...

I'm not sure anon, thanks to YES I can't see the game.

Anonymous said...

But I can. Do you know what kind of pics they are Greg? Theres nothing going on with the game. Just the brodcasters making fun of Igawa running on the warning track in the out field.

Greg Cohen said...

They're pictures of the news ads they put up yesterday, a blurry shot of a restaurant, and a picture of the A-Rod banner outside the stadium.

Anonymous said...

O god not A-Roid.

Greg Cohen said...

LOL

Man this game sucks now.

Bentton said...

lmfao. dont get me wrong, i know a-rod's all sorry and everything, but i'm happy to know that he won't be the first to hit a homer in the new digs. that's just me though

Anonymous said...

Jeter has to hit the first homerun their. " The House that Jeter Built" sounds better for me.

Anonymous said...

If Austin Jackson was going to be opening the stadium this year. Then he would hit the first homerun then.

Anonymous said...

I know he hasn't done much this spring, but Jackson is going to be great one day. I can't wait until they have Gardner and Jackson side by side in the outfield.

LOL I didn't know Billy Traber signed with the red sox

Greg Cohen said...

I actually just realized the game is on MLB.com radio. So I'm listening to the Boston feed. Sweeny Murti is in the booth, it's not so bad.

Have a good night guys.
Traber sucks.

Greg Cohen said...

That's true, thanks Liam.

Anonymous said...

i was actually watching the live blog over on nesn and it finished 8-6 with a double play ground out, the guy said bill traber let out a huge sigh of relief when we grounded into that double play to end it cause we definitely had a rally going .. eh whatever its spring and well ya gotta be happy that the pitches we did put in after the 3rd inning did a great job of holding em down

Greg Cohen said...

MLB.com says 8-4.

Yeah, thats true, these games don't matter at all.

Brian Danuff said...

I can't believe no one talked about how many comments this post had.
