Today-- 2 HRs against Sabathia

 

Ignore my wisdom at your own peril.

Piece of s*** Cervelli was show boating on his hit thinking it was a HR, so he ran a double into a single. His fist pump on a Sabathia K of VMart pissed me off. He also started for the dugout on a called ball in that game pissing off the ump. The game will humble this back up hack like it has for much better players than him.

I think that his industrial size helmet is a decent start.

Cervelli looks like he'd should be at home colouring.

Time to start shifting around the lineup. I know the team isnt hitting, but Tex is f***ing useless right now and it is absolutely f***ing killing us. Gardner is exposed at the top of the order. Jeter isnt hitting for s***. The only two guys still hitting are Cano (somewhat) and Swisher. Move them into the 2 and 3 hole, keep ARod at 4 and put Tex 5th. s*** we gotta get healthy

Get back to me when he starts hitting on the road. (If he injures his knees or shoulder, your wisdom is f***ed for the rest of the year.)

4 Homers against Wakefield. Just a reminder.

Reverse lock theory. lol!!!

Man were the Angels smart to let that guy go.

[italstallianion]

This is unfortunately becoming a good game. This needs to end now.

[ORS]

Garnder with another o'fer. Funny how that BABIP thing works.

 

Here's comes the blown save.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Aroid walk off comin up

[italstallianion]

Technically it won't be a walk off since the Yankees are the road team.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Yeah, I know. Didn't that one thru

[WhiskeyBreath]

Arod being Arod. I love it.

[italstallianion]

Thank you Jesus, I needed that one.

[ORS]

Wow, that was a meatball too, but Slappy was guessing FB.

[Lester82]

Gardner should have come through. He's so close to taking that "NEXT STEP" to greatness. Or whatever Jacko was talking about one day about him and Cervelli.

[yankees228]

Good. Because there were a number of blown calls in the 2010 playoffs, and somehow never against the Yankees.

 

Edit: And sorry, obviously meant 2009 playoffs

 

I remember responding to one of your posts in another thread where you said the same thing. The notion that the Yankees received a number of bad calls in their favor, and none against them, is completely false.

 

Anyway, another tough loss. They're better than they're showing, and I'm sure they'll go on a run soon, but these cold stretches are quite frustrating.

 

As for Sabathia, his April struggles are just coming in May this year. There are a number of things about this team that concern me, but he's not one of them. Got one more tough series coming up, and then a pretty easy stretch begins.

To tell you the truth, it's mostly how it played out. There were a number of incredible calls blown by umpires during that 2009 postseason and somehow it just would almost never be against the Yankees. The umpires would just miss something, just seemingly against the Yankees opponent or teams involved in the other playoff series.

 

This is not some conspiracy theory, almost everything has to go a team's way to win a world championship. And the Yankees obviously worked hard for their championship. It's about a larger issue of bad umpiring and a lack of accountability by MLB umpires for their number of missed calls.

 

I'm only thankful that umpires-- amazingly a crew that featured Joe West-- had the guts to make two correct calls in the 2004 ALCS that would have affected the outcome if not made correctly (or corrected). The Bellhorn homerun and Arod's "slapping" the ball out of the glove play at 1st, in old Yankee Stadium where umpires sometimes had trouble making the right call.

I'll copy and paste what I initially had said on the topic into this post...

 

This is an unnecessary hyperbole, and one that continues to perpetuate a fallacy.

 

Excluding close safe/out calls in non-crucial spots that benefitted both teams, and strike/ball calls that benefitted both teams, if memory serves, here were the bad calls during the postseason that occurred in crucial spots and/or directly influenced whether or not a run scored...

 

Calls that benefitted the Yankees:

 

-Joe Mauer's bloop down the left field line being called foul in the top of the 11th inning of game 2 of the ALDS.

-The missed double play at third base during the run down in the top of the 5th inning of game 4 of the ALCS.

-Chase Utley being called out on the back end of a double play in the top of the 8th inning of game 2 of the World Series.

 

Calls that went against the Yankees:

 

-Nick Swisher being called out for leaving too early from third base on a sacrifice fly in the top of the 4th inning of game 4 of the ALCS.

-Johnny Damon's line drive to Ryan Howard being ruled a catch in the bottom of the 7th inning of game 2 of the World Series.

-The home plate umpire ruling that Ryan Howard touched home plate in the bottom of the 4th inning of game 4 of the World Series.

How bad is it raining in Minnesota?

[a700hitter]

Yanks-Twins rained out tonight. Does this get replayed in its entirety or do they pick it up after the 5th inning?

They'll pick it up tomorrow in the top of the sixth inning.
