Not happy about this.

[jacksonianmarch]

CC shows that he is an ace. He didnt have nearly his best location, but he had a ton of movement and gutted out a solid 7IP. Now, can the pen hold a 2 run lead?

[yankees228]

Well I was wrong. As Jacko said, great effort tonight by CC.

Now 3 runs. I'm sure the Yankees have this in the bag. Never know though.

[yankees228]

Nice to see Cano do something. Now got to hope Swisher is OK.

[jacksonianmarch]

This game is typical Yankee baseball. Get a few runs early, then picket fence towards the end of the game. We hadnt scored at all the past 2 games, but one of the things we've been lacking even before then is the 2 or 3 runs we add on late in games. It's good to see we've brought that back tonight. Hopefully it will continue

[jacksonianmarch]

Tex better not be hurt

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Once Rivera is on the mound game is over.

Yup, this would be a good win.

Pretty much. I think Yankee fans in general have taken him for granted. His dominance is the top reason why we've won 5 championships in his time here. Games that go into the 9th are over during the regular season. And games going into the 8th in the playoffs are essentially over as well

[jacksonianmarch]

Tick off another day from the calendar. Yanks win

Yankees fans taking him for granted? Why? Rivera is one of the most dominant closers in the game today.

[jacksonianmarch]

I think a lot of my brethren have been pining for a change out at the closer's role to one of the more flashy closers. But Mo just continues to produce. He is our most important free agent and needs to be kept

i've heard yankees fans say a lot of things, but never have i heard one say that they need a more flashy closer

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Same here Yaz.

maybe they heard k-rod might be available and they said they wanted a more angry closer?

[Palodios]

Maybe they realized JJ is available, and they wanted a more Putsy closer?

[jacksonianmarch]

Tex and Cano go back to back. Nice to see

[Yaz Sideburn]

that tigers lineup is embarassing. it's got ryan raburn batting 3rd and jhonny peralta as "protection" for miguel cabrera. it's basically cabrera and scrubs

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Home run derby at Yankees Stadium huh?

[jacksonianmarch]

Yep, Cabrera and scrubs, yet we still pitch to Cabrera.

[jacksonianmarch]

WHAT THE f***! STOP PITCHING TO HIM!

[Yaz Sideburn]

the only good hitter on the tigers is hitting mosley pretty hard

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

2 Home runs for Cabrera?

[jacksonianmarch]

And we keep pitching to him. I dont get it

[a700hitter]

And we keep pitching to him. I dont get it

We pitched to him for an entire weekend, and Inge and Guillen were on the DL. With a gun held to my head, I couldn't have named more than 3 guys in their lineup.

[jacksonianmarch]

Gardner needs to stay at the top of the order. He's a f***ing sparkplug

[Yaz Sideburn]

Gardner needs to stay at the top of the order. He's a f***ing sparkplug

 

he's hitting .214/.340/.298 since the asb

[jacksonianmarch]

And the .340OBP is not bad for someone who is slumping.
