10/5 @ Cleveland: Jacko's Revenge

[Gom]

Well here it is. The Yankees with a win, take back homefield advantage, and with the advantage with the pitching matchup in the next two games and going home, are sitting pretty. Conversely, with a Yankee loss, the series is all but over, with the Yankees needing to sweep three games in a row to make it. This is it, make or break time. Are these Yankees going to rebound, show some grit after their shellacking last night? Or will they simply fold under the Carmona sinker? A victory shall be dubbed "Jacko's revenge". Let's hope Carmona's sinker has the same bite Wang's did last night.

 

Stay tuned.

Awesome pickoff by Pettitte.

[26 Reasons to Hate Us]

This TBS panel is painful to listen to

[See Red]

Three Guardians batters have gone to the plate with a runner on third and less than two outs and all three times they failed to get the run home -- two of them were the teams best two players. Pathetic.

[26 Reasons to Hate Us]

I prefer to think of it as Andy being filthy

[See Red]

It's equal parts pathetic on the Guardians part and impressive on Pettittes part. But one player goes up and swings at a bad first pitch? Can't possibly give Pettitte credit for that one.

I'll give you that. But you gotta give the 2 Ks to Pettitte.

The second one to Martinez was with two outs, though, so it doesn't fit what I was talking about, but I'll give you that one. The first one was Grady Sizemore in an earlier inning when the first baseman who's name I dare not try and spell tagged him out and held the runner.

 

Sizemore and Hafner are great hitters... even with how good Pettitte is throwing you'd think they'd be able to wait until they get a pitch they can get into the outfield, no? And Cabrera's at bat... ugh.

 

But Fausto Carmona's been incredible, so even with their offensive futility and Pettitte's smoke and mirrors s***, the Guardians still have a chance.

 

Great catch by Sizemore! Wow!

[See Red]

Missed a home run by four f***ing feet.

 

Pettitte hasn't been as great as the score would indicate... let's see if the Guardians bail him out again. Come on, Kenny.

[See Red]

:lol:

 

Bug spray... that's awesome. Man, they have a wicked bug problem there... there's a ton of 'em.

 

Joba walks Sizemore in four pitches.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

"Andy Pettite would have been safe from the bugs cause he was calm, cool, and collected".....give me a break....he gave up 7 hits and 2 walks through 6 innings....it could have gone horribly wrong for him

[See Red]

Joba throws a wild pitch, Sizemore advances to second and Cabrera advances him to third.

 

If the Guardians f*** this up again I'm going to throw something.

Total ballwashers, it's like they're channeling Michael Kay.

[26 Reasons to Hate Us]

what a play by minky. wow.

[See Red]

You have got to be f***ing kidding me.

[zackredsox]

Thank you bugs!!!

 

tied 1-1

[See Red]

WILD PITCH SIZEMORE TIES IT!

 

And then he hits Victor Martinez! Poor bastard, if I had all those bugs on my neck and swarming me... uuuugh...

[zackredsox]

This is the funniest thing ive ever seen!!!

[YAZMAN]

He's going to groove one here.

[See Red]

He's going to groove one here.

 

Joba would have to get one relatively close to the plate first. He's channeling Rick Ankiel this inning...

[zackredsox]

He's channeling Rick Ankiel this inning...

 

I was thinkn the same thing.

[Thumper]

What the HELL kind of bugs are those!? Good God that's gotta be annoying as f***.

 

COME ON CLEVELAND.

[26 Reasons to Hate Us]

just gnats i think

[zackredsox]

just gnats i think

 

there to big to be gnats

[26 Reasons to Hate Us]

the term gnats encompasses many different kinds of small bugs. I'm pretty sure whatever those are fall into the gnat category

[See Red]

Carmona doesn't appear to be having a problem with these Canadian Soldiers*, which is what these bugs apparently are.

 

*Stupid Canada. Trying to ruin our postseason...

[god is a redsox FAN]

look at all those f***in' bugs, good god that's amazing
