2009 Yankees Game Thread

Unlucky there for A-Rod.

 

I really wish Sabathia and Burnett did not follow each other in the rotation. Wang/Aceves, Chamberlain, and Pettitte all pitching in a row is not a three game stretch that I look forward to.

Man, the Twins love to bend over and take it from the Yankees.

 

Seriously, Gardenhire? Batting Tolbert 2nd?

[yankees228]

Excellent inning from Aceves, considering who he was facing.

Isn't it usually him or Harris batting second, depending on which one is playing second that day? At least that's what he did during the first Yankees' series.

That's the point, he's too stupid to change up the lineup.

 

3-1 Rays in the 7th, Toronto threatening though.

[yankees228]

Second time he's done that. Just put that ball on the ground.

[Dutchy]

RBI single for Ransom.

 

4-2 Yanks

[TheKilo]

Game?

[yankees228]

Liriano getting squeezed. That pitch and the first pitch.

[Dutchy]

RBI single for Gardner.

 

5-2

[TheKilo]

Millar sucks

[TheKilo]

Twins 14-40 since 2002 against the Yankees.

 

lol

[Dutchy]

Can always count on Jeter for a double play. Half inning over.

[yankees228]

Millar sucks

 

I was wondering what you were talking about at first. Terrible.

 

And terrible there from Jeter.

[yankees228]

Twins 14-40 since 2002 against the Yankees.

 

lol

 

But surprisingly not that far under .500 against them at home.

 

EDIT: Really just says a lot about how awful they are in NY.

[TheKilo]

And Balfour escapes

 

Holy god what a squander from the Blue Jays

[617_suffolkcounty_standup]

The Twins have no shot against the Yankees. Other then us and Tampa noone else does really. Yankees look like the team thats going to win it all.

Hard to count on Kevin Millar and Vernon Wells.

lol, I wish I saw how the Yankees were playing and said to myself, "They look like the team that is going to win it all".

The Jays are evil. They only beat us. Fustrating.

[TheKilo]

lol power outage in TB?

Let me rephrase that.. The last 2 weeks they been blowing everyone out. Things can change in baseball.

[yankees228]

Ugh. Span, Mauer, and Morneau are 1-6 today against Aceves, yet the bottom of the order is killing him.

[Dutchy]

That's bad baserunning by Cuddyer. He was headed back to second base on that hit because he didn't know where the shortstop was. That's stuff you've gotta check before the ball's put in play.

[yankees228]

Looks like they've stuck with Aceves too long.

[msubulldogs21]

Bases loaded

 

SCORE

[Dutchy]

Bases juiced. Aceves out, Robertson in. Smart move by Girardi (as opposed to brining in Tomko).

[yankees228]

Should have been out one batter earlier. This was a bad decision by the Yankees, in my opinion, to start Aceves today. There was absolutely no reason to think he was going to be able to go deep in the game, and they're going to kill the bullpen today. This is going to hurt them badly in LAA, especially considering Chamberlain is going tomorrow.

[TheKilo]

Aceves was on a 65 pitch limit, right?

 

I think Mitre should have started but that's me.

I thought it was a great decision to start Aceves. He was looking great out of the bullpen going multiple innings and he did well as a starter last year. It's better than throwing some AAA pitcher out there.
