2009 Yankees Game Thread

Big test here for Wang, as he finally pitches in a game where the outcome is up in the air.

[yankees228]

Great throw from Cervelli.

 

Very encouraging stuff from Wang. They probably have him slated to pitch a couple more innings today. Hopefully he can keep it up.

[jacksonianmarch]

I think they are doing this on purpose. Hughes could have gone another inning. But worst case, if we lose, Wang gets to go 3 innings. 93-94 with a ton of sink. He looked really good. He's pushing the envelope, which is good.

Stop your whining fellas. You should be complaining that Carl MRI Pavano has owned your team this season.

 

Agreed. Jacko, see what having a good catcher can mean? Shoppach steals the strike, and it's 4-2 instead of 4-3.

What are you talking about? It was a play at first.

[yankees228]

Wow, Pavano looks so good. I know he hasn't been great this year, but there is a reason so many teams wanted him when he was a free agent before the 2005 season.

Cervelli's catching dumbass

[yankees228]

Ugh, Swisher gets ahead 2-1, and then swings at 2 pitches out of the strike zone.

Who was the pitch to? What inning?

 

Called strike 3 to DeRosa is on the corner. Doesn't look like a stolen strike. Gom crashes and burns yet again.

[yankees228]

Great pitch on 3-2 to Posada.

[yankees228]

Happy to see Pavano out of the game. Hopefully the Perez that has had a lot of success against the Yankees does not show up today.

[jacksonianmarch]

2nd and 3rd, 1 out down 2, tex up. CMON TEX!

Wedge should be given a wedgie if this move backfires. Pavano was at only 89 pitches. Damon doubles off the the reliever.

[jacksonianmarch]

Betancourt has a freak injury on the mound, 2-1 count on tex, new pitcher coming in

[jacksonianmarch]

TIE GAME, ATTA BABY MARK TEIXEIRA!!!

[CrespoBlows]

At least we have Lars Anderson.

[example1]

Teixeira and Arod are both on roids.

[a700hitter]

Pavano should punch Wedge in the face.

[yankees228]

Have to take Wang out. He seems like a different pitcher after having sat through the all those pitching changes in the top half of the inning.

[example1]

I hate the sac to second w 0 down. Hope they prove me wrong.

[CrespoBlows]

Pavano should punch Wedge in the face.

 

He better hurry. Wedge shouldn't be around much longer.

[diony]

Wang lowers his ERA to 16.07

[yankees228]

I hate the sac to second w 0 down. Hope they prove me wrong.

 

I completely agree with that, especially with how bad Wang looked against DeRosa.

 

I guess I was wrong about Wang. Glad he proved me wrong. Great pitch to finish off Shoppach.

[jacksonianmarch]

Tex has been money. f***in money for this team

That's good, cause he's costing a pretty-penny.

[jacksonianmarch]

I dont care how much he costs. He's the difference between the sox being awesome and being good and the difference between our team being the best in the AL and being near the top.

[example1]

More bunting with 0 out and a man on 1st. Hopefully it doesn't work.

He's a great player to root against and his cost and money grubbing nature only add to that. I admit he's a very good hitter and a great player, but I'm only going to give him that. He's a Yankee and he makes me sick to my stomach.

 

Good idea Gardner, fake the bunt with a man on second and one out.

[example1]

Lucky much?

Sox go up 6-1
