After the game, Joe Girardi said Nick Johnson’s back is a little more stiff than expected. Girardi indicated that Johnson thought it would loosen after some time in the whirlpool but that didn’t happen.
The Yankees now expect Johnson to miss tomorrow’s game. Monday’s scheduled off day will gives him an addition day of rest.
“I expect him back on Tuesday,” Girardi said.
Johnson said he’s not concerned about this becoming a long-term problem.
good. I’ve had it wt johnson.
Leave Gardy in the number 2 hole.
“Johnson said he’s not concerned about this becoming a long-term problem.”
As someone who REALLY, REALLY, REALLY wanted Matsui to sign back here and be the DH, I have no comment.
so nick johnson has already proven to be more broken down than matsui
and he can’t hit as well, either
great, just great
i guess tex can’t hit either
The reason we can’t get #28 this year is because we wanted to save $10 mil so didn’t sign Johny and Hidelki.
Bottom of the 3rd
Krum flies out to right field
Brewer fly out to center
Romine double off of the left field wall
Laird single to left field, thrown out at home on close play…ejected from game for throwing his helmet
don’t look now but since that hr in boston, granderson’s been sliding and unproductive and his avg is down to around .250.
Well, the O’s got the Sox all set up now ————- for another come back win, that is.
They just said Brady Anderson is a former Red Sox player…
Hmm…No wonder why he was a steroid machine!

are u teddy gbu?
For Tampa Yanks, Noesi got hammered during the game and will probably get hammered after the game
4 innings, 10 hits, 8 runs, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts
Only Corban Joseph’s doing much. 2-3 with a homer and a double and an RBI
A fan reached over and touched the ball in right field, and because it’s umpires discretion, they only gave Ty Wigginton first base.

Bill Hall had the ball quick though. He wouldn’t have went to 2nd.
Izturis was past the bag, and they called him out for an inning ending double play!!
Stole away a base from Wigginton, then stole away an out from Izturis.
Umpires love doing their job. Sad
I’ve never heard the words ‘umpires discretion’ work out in any other teams favor as much as the Red Sox.

Tony Clark doubled in that 2004 ALCS game, in which it should have scored a run, as it was interfered with, and our guy was already around 3rd base.
By umpires discretion, they could have awarded our guy home, but since he started from 1st base, they only gave him 3rd base.
Carl
That ball was going to hit the wall and change directions. It only went right to Hall because it went right off the hands of the fan to him.
I woke up from my nap.
So relieved we won this game to stop this massive losing steak we were on.
The 2010 Yankee season has been saved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(please take note of the sarcasm in this comment)
Granderson from Boston to 3 games ago: .306 .390 .472 .862
Pope in the 4th inning
walk
walk
force out to 2nd runners on 1st and 3rd
fly out to left field, Sublett throws out the runner at home
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
For Charleston, Stoneburnner after 4 innings, 2 hits, 9 runs, 9 walks, 6 strikeouts
Zoilo Almonte with a 2 run double
2-0 Charleston
They just didnt call the double play for Matusz, with Youkilis running.
He was safe, but so was Izturis.
Im starting to get nervous………..
Pens down 2-0. I DONT want to see a Game 7
Man, he can’t even take extra BP without stiffening up
9 runs? Wow – talk about having absolutely nothing; I’m surprised they let him stay in long enough to give up that many.
Funny thing though- Granderson’s production would have him batting 3rd in Boston’s lineup.
So because NJ is in a slump, you’ve had it with him and you’re glad he’s injured?
Jones strikes out on a ball in the dirt…..
Doesnt run to first base….
Just walks back towards the dugout.
I have no idea what those numbers mean, but Granderson will be fine; he’s been fantastic.
Bottom of the 4th inning for Trenton
Sublett flys out
Gorecki deep fly to left field fence
Smith strikeout
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Top of the 5th inning, Trenton trailing 1-0
strikeout
walk
single to right
Fly out to right
soft liner to 2nd base
Pope is turning in a common Pettitte like performance. Control a little off but keeps getting himself out of jams.
The comments about Johnson today are embarrassing.
I honestly believe a segment of Yankee fans are rooting against him.
And now it’s 3-0 Sens
“I honestly believe a segment of Yankee fans are rooting against him.”
There probably is. Sad, but true. Leave it to fans to want to be right, and want the GM to be wrong.
LGY, I think that’s true…..so when NJ starts hitting, I hope we don’t hear from that segment
Tampa playing better on the road than at home so far this year. Odd.
Jason Varitek, the steroid freak, just hit another HR.
He really injected himself well this year.
A pop fly in any other stadium. The bandbox known as Fenway Field wont be ridiculed by Pete Abe, or any of the rest of the media.
Pat, The Trop, the Ray’s stadium is not all that Rays friendly. You would be surprised how many Yankee and Sox fans there are down here. So it makes sense that they might do better on the road.
Bottom of the 5th inning
Nunez infield pop-up
Snyder ground out to first
Krum walks, advances to 2nd on a balk
Brewer flies out to center

For Charleston, still leadin the bottom of the 5th, 2-0
Stoneburner: 5 innings, 2 hits, 0 runs, 0 walks, 7 strikeouts

It seems like the Orioles have already mailed the season in.
Oh, so Stonebrunner is pitching a good game, yay!
Thanks, GB!
CR9 – for crying out loud give it a rest.
Well Darnell McDonald comes through again for the Sox. It’s like some of these pitchers don’t know how to get him out.
Jeremy
This Matusz kid is good.
They may have mailed it in, but their 18 games against the Yankees will be their World Series. They wont be mailing those games in.
The Orioles have mailed it in? That’s a fairly silly thing to say.
Don’t confuse not being any good with not trying.
BJK
Yeah the fact that they are bad team is the main reason why they are losing. But on paper they are a better team than last year’s team. A lot of people picked them to do better than the Jays.
Nick may not get the #2 slot back from Gardner. I’m sure he probably will but its nice to see Brett have such a good start.
Cr9
Yeah they have some good pitching prospects. We all know that the O’s will not cave to the Yankees. It seems like the Jays and O’s don’t have a problem caving to the Red Sox while putting up a fight with the Yanks.
Andy was dazzling today…….Evened my 2010 record to 1-1, which is the best start in years at Anaheim Stadium…..Going tomorrow with the plan of being 2-1….That place has been a Chamber of Horrors for The Yanks and their fans
Nick will be back tuesday. If Garardi moves him down in the order till he gets get going, fine. But I have to think he will start hitting to his average soon.
I don’t usually post here but can’t help posting this link.

This scumbag Jason Turbow is outdoing all the A-rod haters in his viciousness..
Bronx Born
They have played much better at home the past 2 years, but this year are 9-1 on the road and 3-4 at home. Small sample size and 2 of those losses were to the Yankees but the 9-1 was surprising.

2008 57-24

Top of the 6th inning: 1-0 Trenton losing. Pope still pitching

foul pop out
Trenton losing 4-0
Hey Pat M – did you have a Godzilla roll?
I think the Yanks got over their issues with the Angels last year, so even if they lose tomorrow, it’s really no big deal. I would love to see Javy have a great game….
Once the Angels are out of it, maybe Matsui will become available. I can see us trading for him, and picking up the rest of his salary this season.
Betsy, yes I did…….Very good….
Pat M.
You got that right. Taking a series there is like a war.

That’s a statement I can agree with. It’s the not trying part I can’t get on board with. These guys are professionals and this is their livelihood. You think they don’t want to win every game and get a hit every time they’re up? That doesn’t change when they’re playing the Red Sox.
Ok, Pat – you’ll have to have another one tomorrow and bring the Yanks luck!

Postgame notes
Count me as another one who wish they never signed Johnson…. let me get this straight? They didnt sign Damon and Matsui because each was old and breaking down but brought this guy in instead? I guarantee that both will get more AB’s than Johnson this year and also be substantially more productive. I know its a nit pick with our offense, but clearly Johnson was a strange choice as DH. Maybe 5 years ago Id want him despite his health issues but now he’s older on top of his constant injuries.
Bottom of the 6th inning for trenton
Catcher Jose Gil doubles down left field line
