The Yankee Thread

[Youk Of The Nation]

Gameday must be glitching on me. How do you call the infield fly rule on a flyout to left field?

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

lmao back to back to back terrible AB's. What a horrible inning.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Wow.

[Youk Of The Nation]

An error and a hit, and then Byrd gets three outs on three pitches. Imagine that inning without the baserunners.

[26 to 6]

A-rod isn't very good at baseball. I want sori back.

A-Rod is the best all around player in the American League. He's just slumping. That happens. It's a part of life as well as baseball. Everything's gonna be ok.

 

Wow, I didn't know A-Rod actually played five games at SS as a Yankee ('04 and '05 combined).

Yup, the first one being the game on July 1st, 2004 when Jeter went into the stands on that pop-up and hurt his face and had to come out. We were completely out of infielders on the bench and had to moce Sheffield into the infield to play third, forcing A-Rod to play short.

 

After the game A-Rod said he would have preferred to have stayed at third, but considering the circumstances it wasn't a big deal.

 

Ah, thank you. I can't wait until Bubba's back...he's just one of those random players I really like for no particular reason.

Yeah, me too. Guys like him, Rickey Ledee, Ryan Freel, etc.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Ryan Freel is awesome. Id love to have a guy like that who can play almost every position. Though Youk has potential.

[NomahsHammSammich]

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.

 

So getting on base via an error means he is good? LOL. He sucks. Great play he made over the weekend allowing Swisher to get an ITPHR!

Sheff playing 3rd? Haha, I need to see a clip of that.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Google "train wreck" and skip all the clips of A-Rod batting with the bases loaded.

[Optimist]

I guess you're forgetting the play he made to steal a HR from Manny, and save a game for the Yankees. Or maybe you're forgetting his 4 RBI game against you guys. You're an absolute homer, so I expect you would do something like that.

There was a gound ball hit to him, and he made an absolutely horrible throw to Tony Clark at first. But since Tony is about 10 feet tall he was able to grab the ball and get back on the bag. Rather humerous

[CrespoBlows]

Who cares?

 

Johan Santana is a god.

[a700hitter]

He stinks.

 

Edit: Wow! crap at both corner OF positions.

[26 to 6]

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

Yeah. The game is on local TV here, not YES, and I guess the same is going on in Cleveland. I hate it when that happens when i'm trying to watch a team I like.

 

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

Yeah, he's been in the organization a while. Not as long as Mitch Jones (who's been in the organization since about 1954 and has yet to play in a Major lEague game despite his callup a few weeks ago for a game), but it's been a while.

[CrespoBlows]

Santana > God.

[26 to 6]

26 to 6 is actually the guy who's pretty supportive of Melky. Nevermind, supportive was an understatement. He seems to have a f***ing man crush on that guy.

Heyy! Not funny man lol.

 

The A's just swept the Yanks. They need some of their injured players back badly.

na, we just need to f***ing play better. We were playing GREAT without those guys before. Need to start playing great again and stop losing games we should be winning.

[Optimist]

Melky gets on base (again)... now how will the Yankees strand the leadoff hit this inning?

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

You got your anwser.

[Optimist]

You got your anwser.

 

I figured Jeter would get a hit then A-Rod would hit into a triple play...

[CrespoBlows]

He's due?

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

I figured Jeter would get a hit then A-Rod would hit into a triple play...

That was more likely. Instead A-Rod goes down looking. I'm starting to actually feel bad. He looks so bad at the plate.

[Optimist]

Nice play by Thompson.

[26 to 6]

To be honest I'd rather Kevin Thompson take over as the 4th OFer. Hes just as good as a fielder and he has a better bat. Chances are they will send Thompson down when Crosby is ready anyway.

Thats likely what'll happen, unless they decide to DFA Green (or option him, but I dont think he has any options left. I could be wrong though) now that Jeter is healthy. It'd essentially be swapping Thompson for Terrence Long.

 

i think cabrerras a player who could be a monster if he had some more pop in his bat

time may aid that

hes got speed,a decent arm and makes contact

hes a keeper and an allstar IF he can get to the 20hr 85-100rbi plateau

I agree. Cabrera is the man.

 

All Star IF?

 

Hahahaha Optimist that was so hilariously bad that I actually laughed.

I thought it was hilarious

You sure you understood it? lol

 

Crosby is like a much less talented Darren Bragg.

Good way of looking at it. Especially with the bat. But i'll give Crosby the edge with defense and speed.

[CrespoBlows]

I agree. Cabrera is the man.

All Star IF?

 

You don't believe that. I can't believe anyone would actually believe that.

 

Cabrera has a problem called driving the baseball. You'd take 5 HR's, and be happy.

[26 to 6]

These out-of-market games are my favorites. I'm not in the New York City area and tonight's game is on UPN 9; usually they'd just show those games on the local Fox network, but not always. When they don't the game is shown on the public access channel, which means you just get the feed from the Stadium. And that means you get to hear what the announcers say during the commercials and before the game. My favorite moment from one of these games was last year, when you just saw Micheal Kay fixing his hair for like five minutes and then he said, "God, I am one good looking guy."

hahahah ....I wish I got to see games like that.

 

Forgive me for sounding stupid, but what's the puvlic access channel?

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Cano starting to show some power.

[Optimist]

hahahah ....I wish I got to see games like that.

It's this channel that has all this random local stuff on it (like high school games, local concerts, etc.).

 

CANO! Power is starting to come back.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

On a brighter note tonight Phil Hughes was pitching for Trenton tonight. This was his line so far:

 

7IP 1H 3BB 0ER 8K

 

His best start in AA so far.

[26 to 6]

You don't believe that. I can't believe anyone would actually believe that.

wait hahaha...nevermind. I thought when he said IF he was abbreviating Infielder, since he capatilized the letters

 

oops.

[TheKilo]

I heard the HR was a Yankee Stadium special. Truth?
