Nice Sunday Night game

Yanks normally have trouble with off speed pitchers with lots of ball movement.

Who you got tonight in this one coach?

[SBR Lou]

I can already tell BBD is taking his chances w/ the Yanks tonight..

[ChuteBoxe]

Yanks get it done late in the game. Joba is fresh, Mariano fresh, Hughes is lights out in night games, especially on the road. I'll take my chances here.

[jjgold]

I do not know yet

[SexyMit]

I took Yankees for what's it worth... which lately is not much

[zootiehead]

Take the Yanks. They have inspiration now.

NY Yankees unearth buried Red Sox jersey from new stadium

By KAREN MATTHEWS, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 11 minutes ago


NEW YORK (AP)—A construction worker’s bid to curse the New York Yankees by planting a Boston Red Sox jersey in their new stadium was foiled Sunday when the home team removed the offending shirt from its burial spot.

After locating the shirt in a service corridor behind what will be a restaurant in the new Yankee Stadium, construction workers jackhammered through the concrete Sunday and pulled it out.

The team said it learned that a Sox-rooting construction worker had buried a shirt in the new Bronx stadium, which will open next year across the street from the current ballpark, from a report in the New York Post on Friday.

Yankees President Randy Levine said team officials at first considered leaving the shirt where it was.

“The first thought was, you know, it’s never a good thing to be buried in cement when you’re in New York,” Levine said. “But then we decided, why reward somebody who had really bad motives and was trying to do a really bad thing?”

On Saturday, construction workers who remembered the employee, Gino Castignoli, phoned in tips about the shirt’s location.

The New York Yankees have ended a construction worker's attempt to jinx their new stadium with a buried Red Sox jersey. Team officials watched Sunday as construction workers removed the jersey from two feet of concrete in a service corridor of the stadium that is under construction.

“We had anonymous people come tell us where it was, and we were able to find it,” said Frank Gramarossa, a project executive with Turner Construction, the general contractor on the site.

It took about five hours of drilling Saturday to locate the shirt under 2 feet of concrete, he said.

On Sunday, Levine and Yankees CEO Lonn Trost watched as Gramarossa and foreman Rich Corrado finished the job and pulled the shirt from the rubble.

In shreds from the jackhammers, the shirt still bore the letters “Red Sox” on the front. It was a David Ortiz jersey, No. 34.

Trost said the Yankees had discussed possible criminal charges against Castignoli with the district attorney’s office.

“We will take appropriate action since fortunately we do know the name of the individual,” he said.

A woman who answered the phone at Castignoli’s home in the Bronx on Sunday said he was not there.

A spokesman for Bronx District Attorney Robert Johnson said Sunday he did not know whether any criminal charges might apply.

Levine said the shirt would be cleaned up and sent to the Jimmy Fund, a charity affiliated with Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

“Hopefully the Jimmy Fund will auction it off and we’ll take the act that was a very, very bad act and turn it into something beautiful,” he said.

[OrionSky]

Leaning Yankees-Sox Over 9.

Yankees have ALL the value at this price. I give the Red Sox around a 55% probablity of winning this game, meaning fair price would be -122.

Ortiz not in the lineup.

What about Jeter or Arod

[MJFtheGenius]

Oritiz not in the lineup is a good thing for sox fans right now.

Ortiz out is never good, Jeter out is never good, sound like the under is our play guys

[MadCapper]

Unortunately I see Dice-K striking out double digits Yankees.

[moneyline]

Dice-K MIGHT strike out 5 ... if ARod doesn't keep mistaking tonight for October, the Yankees will win ...

[MJFtheGenius]

congrats Red Sox backers, this game is over.

[bigboydan]

congrats Red Sox backers, this game is over.

Far from it sir.

[moneyline]

Genius has never watched a Yankee-Red Sox game in his life. You'll have to forgive his youthful overexuberance ...

[MJFtheGenius]

Dan I have been watching the Yanks long enough to know them. They are not going to win.

[MJFtheGenius]

Moneyline you don't know what your talking about.

[MJFtheGenius]

Just because its sox/yanks does not mean you don't use logic. Hughes already threw like 50 pitches LOL.

[moneyline]

I don't know what I am talking about because I didn't think the game was over in the bottom of the 1st with the Yankees losing 2-0 at the time?

Genius, if only the Yankees knew what you know. They could get an earlier flight home and get some more rest for the Rays game tomorrow instead of having to fight an already lost battle.

Sir, you are a fool.
