2009 ALDS: Twins @ Yankees

[jacksonianmarch]

Did Meriweather go to the same school as Bucknor?

[ORS]

It's no longer just death and taxes as the only things you can count on. The 3-0 strike can make that list.

[yankees228]

Wow, Rauch was very fortunate. He benefitted from hard hit balls at fielders, good defense, and a large strike zone.

[a700hitter]

2 BS calls in a row

The Yankees should file a grievance. I think Girardi will protest the game.

Amen. Meriweather must think Melky is actually Miguel Cabrera. Cause that 3-0 pitch was at the top of Miguel's K zone. It was about 6 inches above Melky's

[jacksonianmarch]

Posada, Jeter, Damon next inning. We need to shut this down right now

For 29 teams it's called filing a grievance. For the Yankees, it's called scheduling a meeting with Bob Watson for salary review.

Should be Rivera here.

[ORS]

Surprised they don't go to Rivera here. If Girardi didn't have him warming when Hughes took the ball in a tie game, that's a blunder.

[jacksonianmarch]

WHY THE f*** WOULD YOU GO TO THE f***ING CURVEBALL AGAINST THIS f***ING GUY!!!

[ORS]

Girarduh.

[yankees228]

Idiot. f***ing idiot. You do not speed up hitter's bat. Terrible. Now Rivera. f*** Girardi.

[jacksonianmarch]

ONE OUT TOO LATE GIRARDI!

[yankees228]

The combination of Hughes pitching, Posada's pitch selection, and Girardi's managing have likely cost them the game.

Because he'd thrown 5 straight fastballs?

 

Nah,slider-speed bat. Probably should've pumped another fastball.

[redsoxrules]

LOL

[Cocos Disciples]

Mariano comes in a little too late.

[a700hitter]

The Twins have the lead. It's time for Shitenhire to step in and give the game back.

[Optimist]

Yeah...probably should have brought Mo in a bit earlier.

They still hit twice, maybe only once, against Twins pitching. It's far from over.

He'll probably bring Francisco "Gasoline Can" Liriano to get things goin'.

Girardi is a f***ing clown

[Optimist]

Ballgame.

 

Offense hasn't done anything tonight. I'd be shocked to see them come out in these last two innings.

[Dipre]

Lol Yankees.

[Cocos Disciples]

The Twins have the lead. It's time for Shitenhire to step in and give the game back.

Yeah, I still fully expect the Yanks to win.

 

EDIT: 3-1. Maybe not.

[Dipre]

Let us savor the moment however.

[yankees228]

Girardi is a f***ing clown

 

I've been saying that all year. With the exception of a few mistakes, Torre was excellent in the postseason.

 

There were two things all year that scared me, both of which I voiced on this forum. They were pitch selection (usually on the part of Posada) and Girardi. I think they have both combined to probably cost the Yankees this game.

They don't play until Sunday, and this is a must game for the Twins. Shitenhire should go to Nathan for 2 innings, but he won't, because he is a major douche.

[redsoxrules]

If gardenhire is smart he'd bring in Nathan for the 2 inning save , especially with a day off tomorrow
