2007 Yankee Game Thread

[See Red]

Yeszir was most certainly being sarcastic. I'd bank on it.

[yankees228]

Is he smarter than I think? He used 9 pitchers including Mo for a second day in a row and Farnsworth. He did n't go to Joba because he is not allowed. I'm not knocking his intelligence' date=' just making a predicition based on observing his managerial patterns for the last 12 years. He can't resist using his big guns and going for the win every single time.[/quote']

 

He let Jose Veras struggle in the seventh and he avoided using Vizcaino each time they got the lead. You can't knock the number of pitchers he used considering how large the bullpen is.

I hope he uses Mo again today.

Roger Clemens, who was scratched from his start Saturday with a strained left hamstring, has been pushed back from Monday to Tuesday.

 

Andy Pettitte will pitch Monday on regular rest. All of these changes means there's good reason for skepticism over whether Clemens will really go Tuesday or not. If he can't, perhaps Ian Kennedy (back) will be ready.

2-0 Jays on a Lind 2-RBI double.

 

EDIT: Now 3-0.

[a700hitter]

Yanks and Moose down 3-0 in the top of the 2nd. Moose is reverting to mid-season form.

 

Edit: Yankee announcers say that Torre thinks Mo could be available today. lol!!!

3-3 game. This team just battles. I hope the Yankees blow the game open, just to rest the pen. I can hope in one hand, crap in the other....we all know which hand will get filled first.

 

Oh well.

[a700hitter]

Yeah they battle. Clemens has opted out of the battle though. He'd rather go against the D-Rays.

[a700hitter]

Terrible call at home plate on Zaun. He was clearly safe, but the ump liked making the big call.

[a700hitter]

It's good to see Moose having a good game. I think he should be the game 2 starter in the playoffs.

Definitely. Right after Wake pitches in game one for you guys.

I wonder what Manny is waiting for....Armageddon?

[a700hitter]

I wonder what Manny is waiting for....Armageddon?

He's waiting for a Moose 85 mph heater in the playoffs.

[Gom]

He's waiting for a Moose 85 mph heater in the playoffs.

 

If you guys make it that far.

[a700hitter]

Okay, how about a nice 35 pitch inning from Vizcaino get him ready for the post season.

[a700hitter]

Vizcaino is doing nicely although I'd like to see a higher pitch count. We will see either Joba (in violation of the rules) or Mo for the 3rd day in a row...maybe both. This is great!! The Yankee fans are still chasing the division.

[TheKilo]

They broke the Joba rules!

 

If Lind does something here there will be rampant second guessing, lol.

[a700hitter]

Yankee announcers are hyping this Joba appearance as the "stickiest situation" that he has come into. Oh my goodness, he's facing the fearsome Johnny Lind batting .234 with men on 1st and 2nd with 2 outs. I am biting my nails.

[a700hitter]

Will we have to see Joba's dad in everyone of his appearances?

[TheKilo]

Will we have to see Joba's dad in everyone of his appearances?

 

Did he cry yet?

[a700hitter]

This a a "sticky" situation as the Yankee announcers tell us again

[a700hitter]

OMG!! He did it!! He did it!! Cue the Dad picture and Joba pumps hi fisy and does his twirl as the .230 hard hitting Jimmy lind walks back to the dugout after striking out. The crowd is going crazy.

[TheKilo]

Really can't blame YES for continuing to cut to Joba's dad, I hear he's having a tough time selling his "jump to conclusions" mat.

 

 

IS HE KIDDING? LOLZ

[a700hitter]

Henn and Mo are up in the pen. puhlease use Mo! Puhlease! Joe, you need this game. You want this game. You haven't clinched anything yet. Tampa and Baltimore will be very tough this week.

[Gom]

Maybe you guys should think of getting Gagne's dad to watch the game. Or maybe Papelbon's dad when the bases are loaded.

 

a700, the tying runs were on base. I would figure that it was a pretty important moment in the game. You know, tying runs on base, potential winning run at the plate...nah, not a big moment. What were they thinking?

 

That said, they are overdoing the whole Chamberlain and his father thing.

Theyre having a pitchers duel tomorrow between Burnett and Pettitte. Oh Im hoping for a tight game throughout!

It was a moment worthy of Brian Corey. Here comes Joba for the 9th. Crap! More shot of his dad chomping on a toothpick. I want Mo to go three days in a row.

 

If Joba's dad cries every time Joba gets a .230 hitter out, how will he react when he loses a game?

[a700hitter]

Holy crap, that was a dominating pitch against a guy waiting to get hand surgery. He's dialing it up.

[a700hitter]

Kay just came out with the "and a child shall lead them" line. How dramatic. He is indead the savior. I have a question, could the savior go 2 days in a row? Cue the Dad. Joba k's another .234 hitter.

[riverside sluggers]

What a give me save for Joba-- Thigpen, Overbay who is about to have hand surgery, and Reed Johnson (.235 on the year). Id like to hear Torre's thoughts on what his plan is if Pettitte leaves after the 6th inning with the lead
