Game 1

 

CC Sabathia vs James Shields

 

Pretty pumped for the season. I will be sitting with my little daughter and we are going to catch our first opening day together. So excited

[jacksonianmarch]

Horrible first for CC. Shields not looking much better. Gonna be a slugfest. CC always sucks in April.

[Station 13]

This gonna be a long ass game if the starters take forever to throw a pitch. Add to Jeter and Cano taking their sweet time between pitches.

[Station 13]

Shields looks s*****. 2011 might be his career year, otherwise he's a 4ERA type guy.

[Station 13]

Corpse of Ibanez muster it out.

[jacksonianmarch]

6-4, IBANEZ!! CC still not looking comfortable. Its gonna be a battle of the pens

[jacksonianmarch]

HR derby, cmon CC. Warm up the pen

[Meh]

Corpse of Ibanez muster it out.

 

I'm not an Ibanez fan but that was a legit homerun.

[jacksonianmarch]

Ibanez still has HR power. I am just unsure he's gonna be anything but awful on the yr. Seriously, Girardi, you thought you could out-think the game. How bout you take CC out

[example1]

How do I even watch this game? I want both teams to lose.

[jacksonianmarch]

They might both get a loss due to horrible pitching.

[jacksonianmarch]

why the holy f*** is CC still in this f***ing game. And why the f*** is Granderson our CFer when the guy to his left is 10X better. Should be 2 outs, nobody on

[jacksonianmarch]

I just noticed something. This Rays team is actually going to be okay offensively vs righties. Pena, Longoria and Scott in the middle of the order with Upton and Jennings atop the order. They wont be 900 runs good, but they might be in the top half of the bigs

[jacksonianmarch]

CC- 6IP 8H 5ER 3BB 7K

 

After inning #1- 5IP 6H 1ER 1BB 7K. He settled down nicely, but his location was off all game. Good to see him come out with a lead

Got lucky on that ball A-rod caught.

[jacksonianmarch]

Yeah he did. Joe West didnt help, but he definitely didnt have it.

 

I also forgot how much of a heart attack Robertson is

[jacksonianmarch]

Joe West needs to die, s*** he sucks

[redsoxrules]

Seriously Molina ?

[Station 13]

Does Robertson usually throw this much pitches in relief?

[Station 13]

Seriously Molina ?

 

yup what the heck was that, Maddon?

[Station 13]

joe West is horrendous.

[jacksonianmarch]

I hope the AB's to Pena and Gardner get to the head of umpires and get West fired. Pena should have K'd before his single and Gardner's AB, 5 of the 6 pitches were strikes. Unreal. They werent even borderline. Down the cock, split the plate---ball. f***ing douche

 

That being said, Robertson seemed to need the adversity then found a way to be untouchable. Soriano looked pretty good. Mariano in to protect a lead. Lets see if he can do it. CMON YANKEES!!

[jacksonianmarch]

OMFG

[jacksonianmarch]

1-2 pitch splits the plate and Jennings gets on. Cutter that didnt cut nabs Zobrist a triple. Seems like everyone is off today. f***

[Station 13]

oh snap. Zobrist got a high cutter...

[jacksonianmarch]

Doesnt matter that it was high. It does matter that it caught the plate. He needs to run that in on the hands and he didnt

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Jacko leaves in 3..2..

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Waited a long ass time for this one. THUH YANKEES LOSE! THUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH YANKEES LOSE! ****s.

[jacksonianmarch]

Mariano having a little better luck hitting the roving Joe West strike zone. Apparently he doesnt give a s*** that the plate is where it is. If it's a foot outside, it's a strike, but only when he wants it to be. Mo threw 3 pitches in the EXACT same spot to Pena. Two were strikes and one was a ball. Then he has to come in, Pena hits the ball off the wall and we lose.

 

Listen, Joe West was equally horrible for both teams and he isnt the reason we lost. The reason we lost is that we got a horrible outing from our starter, an awful outing from our usually automatic closer and we left a weeks worth of baserunners on base. Every single aspect failed in game 1. f***.

Yankees need to fix their bullpen. It did f*** up the first game of the season for 'em.
