why do I feel a fastball homer right here?

 

Gutsy call their with the slider to Hawpe, and he forced Jaso into the big part of the park.

 

Also, nice to see Jeter with a couple hits, and a double.

 

I'm not looking forward to Mitre or Sanchez having to navigate through the heart of the Rays' lineup next inning.

 

EDIT: Just realized how awful this post reads with three separate thoughts and no segues lol.

Alomar II has his average up to .265.

Jorge just got drilled in the balls by a foul tip. I guarantee he is wearing a cup, but it still hurts. My catcher once split his cup in two on a foul tip

YANKEES WIN, THAAAAAAAA YANKEES WIN!

[jacksonianmarch]

Soon to be a magic number of 3. Get the champagne on ice!

Do you think they'll celebrate when they clinch a playoff spot?

Your cool.

[jacksonianmarch]

They should. Why not? Celebrate when you clinch the playoffs, then celebrate when/if you win the division

[yankees228]

They never do that though. If they expect to win the division, they always hold off on the celebration. Now, with the race so close this year, it might be different.

i doubt the yankees celebrate clinching the wild card

aj burnett with a black eye and the yankees won't say how he got it. my guess is that girardi roughed him up before the game and told him to get his act together

I beat him up but don't say anything. It's a secret.

[yankees228]

Second 0-2 walk for AJ. So frustrating.

 

EDIT: AJ isn't as sharp tonight as he was last Friday.

[Yaz Sideburn]

what's up with jeter? he playing through an injury?

There were a few reports awhile ago that he had been dealing with a few nagging issues, but I haven't heard anything lately.

[jacksonianmarch]

Certainly possible. Not sure though

[Yaz Sideburn]

lucky play for burnett

[jacksonianmarch]

would have been a GB to Jeter if it got by Burnett. It wasnt hit hard

didn't see where jeter was playing but that was a solidly hit ball

[Yaz Sideburn]

and the tarp is out

[yankees228]

I agree with Jacko here, that was off the end of the bat, and the only reason AJ had time to put his glove out like that was because it wasn't hit particularly hard.

[yankees228]

So coming out of the bullpen for the Yankees is Royce Ring. The Rays went with Jeremy Hellickson. I wonder which team is better prepared to deal with the rain delay lol.

[Yaz Sideburn]

a yankees player ACTUALLY getting hit by a pitch, unlike jeter and posada

[yankees228]

Tough spot here for Moseley.

 

EDIT: Very predictable.

 

EDIT 2: About to be 4-0.

[yankees228]

Or not. Big out to keep them in the game.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Dan Johnson really likes to s*** on the Yankees.

[yankees228]

Joe might want to considering pulling Moseley if he wants to give the Yankees any chance tonight. With Hellickson in a groove, and a rested Benoit and Soriano, it's going to be tough for the Yankees to come back.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Rays starting to open up.

[yankees228]

Excellent play by Tex. Moseley now has an escape route in this inning.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Another good play for Tex.
