2009 ALDS: Twins @ Yankees

[a700hitter]

Which is why the postseason is such a crapshoot' date=' and I couldn't be as optimistic as the other Yankee fans on this board. It only takes a couple bad games from the offense or one poor game from a pitcher (WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME) and you're gone. [/quote']...or your manager gives away a game.

He made a bad decision, but I wouldn't say he gave away the game. Rivera gave up a hit to Span anyway, and looked shaky on Wednesday. I would have went to Rivera, but, obviously, the result might not have been different.

It'll go down if he doesn't give up any runs here.

But he would have gotten the other bag of s*** out to end the inning before anyone had scored.

Our first 3 up in the 9th are 14-29 vs Nathan combined

I also thought he would get out that bag of s*** on Wednesday.

And Blackburn had never gotten Teixeira out before tonight. Small sample sizes...

[suns]

Nathan time!!

[Dipre]

Rivera looked AWFUL from the stretch.

With the insurance run, he can give up 3 hits for the 3 outs and still close out the game provided he doesn't let anyone take him deep.

Nice play by Swisher. Tex needs to get on base or do something here...he's been absent so far this series...

How many guys beat Mo twice in a row, especially a bag of s***?

[yankees228]

That's not necessarily accurate. His worst stretch of the season, which fell short of awful, took place from the end of July through the middle of August. After that, through a good part of September (including his blown save) he threw the ball well.

[suns]

Oh my...

[a700hitter]

Will the Twins throw in the towel for a Yes Yankee Classic or will ARod hit into a DP?

[Dipre]

Lol Nathan.

[suns]

Great stat for nathan.

[a700hitter]

Lol Nathan.

In tough situations, he always looks like he is going to throw up. Choking big time.

[suns]

Don't choke!!!!!!!!

[yankees228]

Green light please.

[a700hitter]

What a closer!! He should have left in derrier.

[suns]

Don't give them their 16th walkoff win.

[Dipre]

Questionable strike at best.

[suns]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cocos Disciples]

Hey guys, did you know that Joe Girardi considers the three walk-off wins against Minnesota a turning point for the season?

 

EDIT: Holy s***. You almost knew it was going to happen.

[a700hitter]

Yes Yankee Classic time!!!!

[jacksonianmarch]

AROD IS GOD!!!

[yankees228]

A-Rod looks petrified.
