The Yankee Thread

[Optimist]

With the performances of Ortiz and A-Rod over the last week, this is really killing the no clutch argument myth.

 

How? A-Rod's not failing in clutch situations...he's failing, period.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

A-Rod with RISP doesnt even take agressive swings now. He looks like he just wants to make contact. Let it go A-Rod.

I wasn't being serious. A-Rod just sucks.

[TheKilo]

Byrd having problems finding the strike zone.

Oh, in that case, great post! :thumbsup:

[Youk Of The Nation]

Damn, I wish A-Rod was up now.

[Optimist]

Every single Yankee on the field right now is a homegrown product (Jeter, Posada, Cano, and Melky.) And Bernie is on deck. Weird.

[CrespoBlows]

Oh, in that case, great post! :thumbsup:

 

Extra Innings isn't carrying the game tonight, just how loud were the boos for A-Rod?

[Youk Of The Nation]

So are the on-deck and in-the-hole hitters.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Actually...everyone in the lineup except Damon and A-Rod are. Whoa.

 

EDIT: Nyet, Im not an expert on the Yankees farm system...is Phillips homegrown?

Not too loud, but most of the crowd is just settling in so that might explain it.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

I'm getting tired of saying "Atleast we made the pitcher work". Can we score some damn runs please?

[Optimist]

Three groundball outs from Wang; that's a good sign.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Not to mention nine pitches.

Yeah, they drafted him in 1999 (for the record, I looked that up...I don't just know alot about Andy Phillips.)

 

I just noticed, our pitcher tonight is a homegrown product as well. I never saw a game like this happening a few months ago.

 

...as the Yankees don't score after a lead off double. <_>

Bet you saw THAT a few months ago.

 

Look at it this way...in two or three years these guys (Thompson, Wang, Melky, Phillips) could be the next Jeter, Bernie, Mussina, et cetera.

[Optimist]

A-Rod, tonight's not the night to underperform with that guy in the Stadium.

Charles Manson will be seen hanging out with Roman Polanski before that happens.

*stage whisper* SHHHHH, IM GIVING THE OPTIMIST SHREDS OF HOPE.

 

 

 

 

Honestly theyll never be that good, but theyll be solid. Well, Melky and Phillips at least.

[CrespoBlows]

*stage whisper* SHHHHH, IM GIVING THE OPTIMIST SHREDS OF HOPE.

 

 

 

[Optimist]

Yeah, shut up. When the Yankees are playing like this, I live on scraps like that.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

A-Rod up again with 2 on.

[Optimist]

BUNT! BUNT! BUNT!

 

I have more faith in his speed than his hitting right now.

[NomahsHammSammich]

and the immortal Melky's BA dips to .267.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

and A-Rod gets booed as soon as the ball hits the bat.

[Optimist]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[CrespoBlows]

A-Rod's due. The guy has to get a hit eventually.

[Optimist]

and the immortal Melky's BA dips to .267.

 

Yeah, he's only made an amazing play tonight and gotten on base twice. Wow, he sucks.

 

Unbeleivable. 5 pitch inning for Byrd. Absolutely pathetic.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Back to back terrible AB's.

[CrespoBlows]

Wait.

Oops.

:shock:

Sorry.

:dunno:
