Yankees might have lost three runs...

[yankees228]

Wow, every batter has either hit the ball well or walked. Doesn't look like either starter will be long for this game.

What happened?

[yankees228]

What happened?

 

Bases loaded, two outs, top of the first...Cody Ransom hits a grounder that may have went over the corner of the third base bag, but was called foul. It was close. I'm not whining, just making an observation.

[yankees228]

And Diaz clearly sticks out his knee.

[yankees228]

Wow, this team has about the worst outfield defense I've seen in awhile...

[redsoxrules]

come on Mccann , grandslam ..DO IT !

 

and he strikes out...BALLS

[yankees228]

I've been defending Girardi a bit, but letting Pettitte face Escobar was a truly awful decision. One of a the signs of a bad manager, in my opinion, is someone who is influence by something small. It's likely the only reason Pettitte was left in is because he struck out McCann so easily. One strikeout does not undo how poor he has pitched the entire game.

At least we won.

Petite is a gamer, hes generally in every single game he starts and rarely gets pounded.

As long as the yanks can give him 5 runs he's going to win much more than he loses.

We won, so thats nice. Giving up 7 runs sucks, but at least the O came through and at least ARod was hitting the fastball. They had a stat on ESPN that his BA vs fastballs was in the .150 range, but all of his hits were off the fastball last night. If he gets hot, this offense will pick up again. It is strange that a guy so f***ing annoying is actually the motor that runs this club.

Exactly why I wanted him back. He isnt flashy, his WHIP is always in the 1.4 range and nowadays I dont expect his ERA under 4. But he gets the job done, never pretty, but it gets done.

[Mr Crunchy]

Hes not shutting anyone out anymore but Id take him in a minute

he knows what to do,very crafty,isnt afraid of pitching around heavy bats and can find the weaknesses in every lineup, he had as much to do with their success in the 90s as just about anyone.

[jacksonianmarch]

CC was on point. Gardner and ARod put the dagger in with the help of the mets defense. Cannot complain one bit. 3 in a row and the offense has awakened

Start planning the parade.

[yankees228]

Good stuff today. Obviously the most encouraging part of the last few games is A-Rod. Like Jackson said earlier, the Yankees really do seem to go as A-Rod goes.

[VA Sox Fan]

Start planning the parade.

 

:lol:

[Dojji]

[VA Sox Fan]

I SO hope the NYY LOSE....jacko goes into extra jerk mode when they manage to win 2 or 3 in a row.

 

LOSE LOSE LOSE!!!!

[VA Sox Fan]

Dominant Chamberlain.

 

Why do you have a picture of Corky from "Life Goes On" as your avatar?

[092era]

Anyone else watching the subway series?

[092era]

Start planning the parade.

 

He's probably too busy planning Austin Jackson's Hall of Fame induction speech.

[092era]

Hahaha, Melky takes the worst routes to balls but the Yankees announcers eat it up because it looks flashy when he barely gets to them.

[092era]

Yankees up 5-0. That's pretty much what I expected from Tim Redding.

[jacksonianmarch]

4 in a row. Burnett was dominant and the offense came through late. Nice. Go for the sweep today

[VA Sox Fan]

The Mets suck so bad, even Wang should be able to beat them.

OTOH, if Wang gets beaten by the Mets, he needs to be shipped off to A ball immediately.

[jacksonianmarch]

He's still on thin ice as far as I am concerned. But I dont think a demotion is in order. I think a move to the pen may be in order. He's been serviceable for 2 starts now. We need him to step up to being above average.

[Cocos Disciples]

JFC the Mets suck. They're totally scoring 1 run agaist Wang.

Sarcastic joke detection FAIL.

 

Read my statement again and reconsider comedic value.
