2009 Yankees Game Thread

4 in a row, 6 of last 8 since the sox and TB took 4 in a row from us. The rotation is giving depth and our offense is actually hitting late in games. Tex is coming out of his shell. Things are looking up.

Jah bless! The Yankees are going to win the World Series!

[Gom]

Yankee pitching coming around? Wonder why....

It was a nice sign. It wasn't just the early homer for Tex, but the way the Yankees got the two on, they've been pulling through with 2 outs, when usually they just roll over. During this four game win-streak, 11 of the Yankees 22 runs have come with 2 outs. I don't think I can remember another time this season when Yanks were scoring at all, let alone half, of their runs with 2 outs. It's something I like to see.

Outstanding first inning for Slowey.

[yankees228]

Wow, the Yankees offense is really struggling, but Slowey has been pitching outstanding.

[jacksonianmarch]

Burnett is matching him pitch to pitch. Slowey is really good.

[jacksonianmarch]

Wang is mowin em down in AAA. 6IP 2H 0ER 1K 0BB. He's now thrown 12 shutout innings in two rehab starts. I think Hughes gets one more start and then is back to AAA with him.

[BoSox21]

Slowey is actually pitching well? wow

[jacksonianmarch]

6 shutout innings with 6Ks for AJ. We need to score here. 93 pitches, he's likely out after 7. Coke is likely unavailable so the 8th is gonna be interesting. Mo may be unavailable too.

[jacksonianmarch]

7 shutout innings for Wang on just 75 pitches

Bring him up. He's one guy who could break Ortiz out of his slump. He has hit some tape measure jobs off him.

[jacksonianmarch]

Burnett just fell apart in the 7th.

[TheKilo]

So, Damon walkoff today?

[jacksonianmarch]

Not likely. Albaladejo has forgotten where the plate is vs Nick f***ing Punto

[TheKilo]

lol Brett Tomko

[jacksonianmarch]

Teixeira = Gold Glover

[TheKilo]

I despise the Twins

[a700hitter]

Teixeira = Gold Glover

Giambi would have spiked that ball or thrown it to the backstop.

[TheKilo]

Flyball to right that doesn't go out? Shocked.

[Cocos Disciples]

Doesn't leave the infield in a normal stadium.

[a700hitter]

Gardenhire overmanages every game his team plays against the Yankees. The Twins would be better off if they tied him up and locked him in his office before the game.

[a700hitter]

Great play by Mauer and a stupid play by Gardner coming home with 1 out in the bottom of the 9th inning. What a douche!

[Cocos Disciples]

So' date=' Damon walkoff today?[/quote']

[a700hitter]

Those who predicted his precipitous offensive decline were very wrong.

[a700hitter]

The Yankees are celebrating these walk-off wins against the Twins like they are playoff games. Have the Twins won a game at yankee stadium this decade? It's a foregone conclusion.

[Gom]

I really hope we bring back Damon on a 2 year deal. Just a hard core gamer. Wouldn't mind seeing Matsui go, especially at $13 million.

[Lastings Milledge]

I hope i get traded to red sox so i can make fun of yankee fans like this mother f***ing **** named gom

They showed a stat on TBS during the game, Gardenhire was 3-21 in NY coming into today.

[a700hitter]

They showed a stat on TBS during the game' date=' Gardenhire was 3-21 in NY coming into today.[/quote']They shouldn't even buy him a plane ticket for their next visit to NY. There have been numerous times when I have seen him snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in NY.
