Mo's strike zone is cartoonish.

Instead of watching the pitiful end to this game, I will look for pictures of hot sauce.

 

But Ibanez keeps it alive.

Matt Stairs is going to hit this ball 2 miles.

[yeszir]

Guaranteed K here

[suns]

Damn stairs!

[yeszir]

Guaranteed K here

 

I was right!

[Christian Snyder]

Aww crap!

[WhiskeyBreath]

this is probably my first choice as far as hot sauces go.

 

Never had it before. They need to make one with Whiskey instead of Tequila

[suns]

At least the next 3 are at home for the Phillies.

arguing with a Yanks fan who just said that Boston was the new Evil Empire lol

Told you guys it was over.

Told you guys it was over.

 

Such genius!

Burnett finally put together a full start tonight. He really benefitted from the wide strike zone, but the home plate ump established that pitch as a strike early.

 

Also, as I said before, I'm very happy he bypassed Hughes and Joba, and went straight to Rivera. If the same situation presents itself in game three, I hope Girardi does the same thing.

The strike zone was enormous all night, for both teams. Every pitch got a few inches off the outside corner, and it was established early on.

Second only to you

Such genius!

 

Thanks man.:thumbsup:

I can't wait until Rivera finally hangs up his spikes.

 

Yankee fans are already spoiled by their enormous payroll, but to also fall ass-backwards into possibly the greatest pitcher in the history of the game gives them an advantage that I think is too often overlooked.

 

I'm willing to get into the discussion about greatest pitchers ever and having Rivera be part of it.

 

I would never say that about an lights-out reliever who was dominant for a season or two (or 5), but a lock down, lights-out closer who regularly leads the most well-stocked team in baseball in WARP year after year after year, performing on the biggest stage imaginable, is just as valuable as any great SP and, I would argue, in the playoffs he is more valuable--especially when he can go two innings.

 

I can't wait until there is some mortal human being in that position (even if it is someone "only" as good as Papelbon or Broxton). One f***ing pitch and a decade and a half later and people are still flailing as if they don't know what is coming. Jesus.

 

Dude is a beast. Time for him to go away.

[yankees228]

Mo's biggest strength, in my opinion, is his ability to go two innings. I'm pleased that the Yankees have used him that way for the last two wins. Unfortunately it took Hughes to struggle before the Yankees finally decided to do that.

[The_Destroyah]

does no one else see the blatant stupidity in calling Boston the New Evil Empire?

[italstallianion]

Oh well, at least I have fantasy football this week. Maybe I should search for Yankshater so we can have an enlightening discussion just like last week.

Amen yeszir. I only discovered this stuff a few months ago. I put it on virtually everything. Hamburgers/sandwhiches, stirfries, breakfast sandwhiches, chips and salsa, pizza. It's like the blue jeans of sauces. Granted we English have a weaker spice palatte than you guys, so I like it as a hot sauce and a flavour sauce.

Are Boston Red Sox the new New York Yankees? No. Once the Red Sox had finally defeated the Evil Empire of the Bronx, that was the question Sox fans pretended to worry about: With two world championships in the past five years, was their once-suffering team suddenly a little too wealthy, too talented, and too successful? Were they turning into an arrogant mirror image of their old pinstriped archenemies?

[yankees228]

NYS' date=' where ERA's go to die.[/quote']

 

Hold on. While it was the best HR park this year, overall, it was the 11th best pitcher's park.

[yankees228]

I'm sure the Phils would love to see him for 2 innings as well. At this point in his career he's not a 2 inning relieve.r

 

That is news to me.

 

EDIT: Obviously they weren't going to let him go two innings in the regular season. However, look at what he's done this postseason. The one thing that has always remained constant about Rivera is that he almost never shows ill effects of being tired in his second inning of work. He might get beat, but it won't be because of diminished stuff on diminished velocity.

 

As a matter of fact, in his last two inning appearances this postseason, he actually looked better in his second inning than he did in his first inning.

[yankees228]

You don't think Posada had enough time to return to the base?

 

It wasn't caught on a fly...
