Johnny Damon has f***ed us 2 games in a row after being solid for 10 games

Teixeira!!!!

[yankees228]

1. I am frustrated they are losing.

2. It's not bashing, it's actually telling the truth about a moron.

3. It does make me feel better to put him in his place, since he can't defend a single view he's had in four years.

 

Honestly, just give it a rest. It's annoying that you respond to the majority of he comments with some sort of insult. I disagree with some of the things he says, but don't trick yourself into thinking that you're right all the time.

 

Jacko takes the times to write these long posts about minor leaguers and whatnot. He is a positive contributor to this board, in my opinion.

[jacksonianmarch]

thanks y228

[jacksonianmarch]

Swish is in a swump. Need a hit here.

The only thing he ever says anymore is delusional.

 

You disagree some of the time? Are you serious? I'm not right all the time, far from it. I'm simply not wrong all the time.

 

As for the minor leaguers, he does follow that more, but he hasn't been right there either. He just reads the Yankee press clippings and believes it.

[jacksonianmarch]

you are delusional

[Gom]

Swisher needs to come off the bench at this point. Just like Gardner was benched and worked his way in, so should Swisher. He's a nice pinch-hitter for our catchers late in the game.

[Gom]

you are delusional

 

You're a clueless idiot.

Swish is in a swump. Need a hit here.

 

Doesn't make any sense to hit him so high in the order. It seems like it's been a long time since Swisher last got a hit.

 

Now they have quite a dilemma here, considering I'm assuming that Girardi won't go to Rivera for more than an inning. If you go to him here, and you don't score in the 9th, then someone else has to face the heart to the order. If you don't go to him here, and Mauer and Morneau get up this inning, someone other than Rivera has to face them.

 

It's Rivera. So now, if he holds them scoreless, unless the bottom of the order can scratch across a run in the 9th, someone besides Rivera is probably going to have to face Mauer and Morneau.

 

EDIT: Disregard most of this, I forgot that Punto made the last out of the 8th.

[Gom]

You can't get a save at this point, so you pitch Rivera.

[jacksonianmarch]

he doesnt seem to pitch well in non-save situations

[Gom]

You are a clueless idiot.

[Gom]

Figures. Rivera has a perfect 9th when...ROFL.

[yankees228]

You can't get a save at this point' date=' so you pitch Rivera.[/quote']

 

I screwed up. For some reason I thought Punto was leading off. I was just making the case that you might take the chance that someone else could get the 9, 1, and 2 hitters out one two three, because that is the only scenario where you could avoid having someone other than Rivera face Mauer and Morneau.

 

Hopefully they can score here, because I'm assuming Rivera won't be in next inning.

[Gom]

Don't worry 228. At least when you're wrong, you admit it. That makes two of us.

[yankees228]

This team just has so little offense right now. It's going to be tough to win this game, now that Rivera is probably done. He only threw 11 pitches, but I'm guessing Girardi doesn't go to him for a second inning.

 

EDIT: I think it's Rivera. I wonder if he's only in for Morneau, or if they're going to let him pitch a full second inning.

[Gom]

I think Rivera goes out there for another inning. I don't see why not.

[yankees228]

I think Rivera goes out there for another inning. I don't see why not.

 

There have been numerous instances this year, in tie games at home, where Girardi has only pitched him one inning. He seems reluctant, probably considering it's early in the season and Rivera is coming off surgery, to pitch him two innings.

[Gom]

Damn...where's you know who saying that Rivera sucks?

[jacksonianmarch]

Good inning from Rivera. This is the yankees chance.

[yankees228]

I would much rather Tomko than Aceves if there is an 11th.

[yankees228]

Damn, got what he was looking for and just missed it.

 

EDIT: They really have nothing going well offensively.

[jacksonianmarch]

good inning by Aceves.

[yankees228]

Two really nice plays up the middle today from Jeter, although the one earlier against Span where they got Punto at second was probably a bad call.

 

Regardless, it's nice to see from Jeter.

[jacksonianmarch]

AROD WALKOFF!!!

[Cocos Disciples]

f***ing A-Rod.

[jacksonianmarch]

Huge AB for him, especially since he looked so bad more of the game. Tex is heating up. Now its his turn. If both of those guys are hitting, we are gonna be very, very good.
