Meh. He is a notoriously slow starter

And finisher.

[Youk Of The Nation]

In ten years, every baseball team will be comprised of guys named Izturis and Molina.

Meh. He is a notoriously slow starter

 

Maybe he'll give back the $260,909 that his 4.1 IP cost the team then? I'm sure he will.

And finisher.

 

What are you talking about? I've heard he finishes every challenge that's put in front of him...

Also notorious for being bad in the playoffs, particularly against the Red Sox.

As long as said challenge is smothered liberally in barbeque sauce or mint jelly.

Has there been a season where fans are more excited to see their team beat the Yankees? I mean, they've had some pretty unlikable teams in the past, but adding 400m worth of FAs really makes it fun to root against them.

Even the ladies... at least, that's what I've heard. He likes his ladies covered in BBQ sauce and slow roasted. Or old. Old enough that their skin falls right off the bone. <_ ewwww>

Joe Morgan calling the Boys and Girls Club, "The Boys Club" really makes me uncomfortable. It's creepy.

Ray isn't going to take the job from Sherrill tossing up cookies like that.

Well, Sabathia just couldn't control his fastball today, which was ultimately his downfall. You would have expected that 3-2 pitch to Scott with the bases loaded to have been a fastball, and I think it is very telling that it wasn't. The YES announcers were trying to play up some kind of injury based on him using a heating pad between innings, but I'm guessing it was more that he just pitched poorly. There doesn't need to always be an excuse.

 

Big home run there from Matsui puts them right back in the game. Good stuff.

[yeszir]

I HATE the Yankees

[ORS]

There doesn't need to always be an excuse.

So, this is your first time watching YES, right?

[Mr Crunchy]

slow starter who has an era of 7+ in the playoffs

has personally gagged a pennant along with a stelllar effort in last years nlds in his last 2 years while pitching like a field nigger for milwaukee every 3rd night last summer.

hes 50lbs overweight and thrown 1000 ip in his last 4 yrs.

8yrs 160??

f***in brilliant....

[ORS]

Holy crap, open your eyes next time Swisher.

[Redguitar985]

Tying run on third with Jeter at the plate? Of course the O's won't make this easy.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Jeffrey Maier says hi.

[ACL BoSox]

too bad this is regular season game and it was a homer anyway...

[8191]

Did you see that pop to left, I think jeffery Mayer mover to Baltimore.

 

Gotta love CC's line.

 

Go O's

[JimEdHOF2009]

So is this the same Yankees pen that was supposedly as good as the Sox pen? Nobody ever questioned Rivera or even Bruney... it was the other clowns ....the clowns who just got taken deep by The immortal CESAR IZTURIS! What a power hitter...what a SLUGGER! HAHAH! Tex annd Yankees off to a WONDERFUL start.

 

CC and TEX...flop in debut... Next up..Burnett..

[Youk Of The Nation]

too bad this is regular season game and it was a homer anyway...

 

I was being sardonic in reference to them claiming interference when the ball was in the stands, as opposed to getting a cheap homer in an important game because some kid couldn't stay behind the line.

[8191]

Marte It just keeps getting Better

[Cocos Disciples]

10-5, not bad.

[8191]

2 Run double-with Huff (lefty) no less

 

Gotta love it

[8191]

Tex saved jeter's throw in the dirt.

 

He just isn't good!!!!!!!!!!!

[jacksonianmarch]

Well, the offense was playing well. Good to see Matsui and Posada back. CC didnt have it. And the pen was off too. Nobody seemed to have any type of control today. Baltimore pitchers included. It will improve

[8191]

I seem to remember CC starting off poorly last year.

I'd love to see him dig them an early hole this year as he did for the Guardians last year.

[Cocos Disciples]

Yeah, he was 1-5 with a 7+ ERA in the beginning of the year last year.

[ORS]

CC Sabathia, 7 years .......... $161M

Mark Teixeira, 8 years ........ $180M

 

4.1, 6 ER, 5 BB, 0 K and 0-4, 5 LOB ..... priceless
