Game 136: A four-day Halladay
ByPosted by mobile phone:
Roy Halladay is going for his fourth win of the year against the Yanks. Andy Pettitte will try to stop him and ensure a .500 August for the Yanks. He also has to pitch better than he did last week against the Red Sox.

no one’s watching? hello?
maybe everyone went to the beach…
3 run deficit 6 minutes into the game?
damnit girardi get ur act together!
Good. I gave up after the Red Sox series. Now I want them to deal Pavano by tonight’s deadline and bring up the kids. This may be the final nail in the Yankee coffin for the front office.
4-0. Scott Rolen HR. Halladay pitching, game over.
Great start to this one
at least we picked a good day to give up 3 in the 1st inning… halladay always gets shelled
sigh…..
Yeah, not so good.
So how about them Giants?
Boy, that defensive line really took a hit this year, huh?
whats a good movie i can go rent? any good horror flicks anyone know of?
YES has a pretty good horror flick on right now…
that one is wayyyyy too scary. im trying to avoid nightmares here
john carpenter’s “the thing” is my favorite horror movie
“the descent” is scary as hell
ive heard of the descent…. never heard of the thing… premise?
kurt russell stars. bunch of scientists on the north pole uncover an alien that can shift into any form, so everyone’s a suspect. the gore effects are amazing considering it was made in 1982
highest recommendation
nice, im intrigued…. i got 30 bucks card to spend at blockbuster so lookin for ways to blow thru it, thanks
Poltergeist
i have this one… im a horror buff so i got most of the classics, great flick indeed
The Audition is great if you can find it. Japanese and very creepy
make sure you get it widescreen!
Molina sure does call a better game than Rodriguez, which is why Pettitte did not want I-Rod to catch’em. That would explain Pettitte’s effectiveness in his last couple of starts.
It’s only the 3rd inning. There is a lot of game left. Umm….have hope?!
WOW if this isnt an indication of how this season is going nothing else is, there is literally nobody commenting today!!!!
aside from horror flicks, what is there to say?
But the Yankees arent mathematically eliminated yet, there is still hope!!!!
i’d love to see a thread where people weigh in on what the yanks should do with this free month
make kennedy’s ass pitch
Him, Hughes, Aceves. Get them innings. It’s not like they can get many more pitching in the minors.
There’s no reason to let Pavano, Rasner, and Ponson continue to start games. If they’re throwing in the towel, those are three pieces that probably won’t be around next year. If they’re still holding out hope, well, it’s not like Rasner and Ponson give you a decidedly better chance than the kids.
i agree. i guess i just dont see the point of havin ponson still on the team… he sucks, hes not a long term answer, he doesnt even really eat innings that well, make kennedy pitch….
also, it seems like every time i check the box score scott strickland does really well. hes the AAA close i beleive…. lets see what he can do
Clutch’em all, b*tches!
roys losin some gas on his fastball
See haters, I’m clutch! says Giambi.
roys not comin out til hes at least at 115 pitches
Eckstein’s grittiness was all over that hit. Dammit!!!
aight, gonna go watch a horror flick, catch u guys on the flip side
by the way, this game is totally on girardi
Girardi might be little late again with his pitching changes.
Beating yourselves don’t help you win games, Yankees. Geez…
September could be real ugly. Wouldnt be surprised to see the Yankees finish in 4th in division and barely finish above .500 for the season. When a veteran team that had big-time expectations plays out the string in September, it sometimes gets real ugly….
It’s time to push that payroll to 300 million. How embarrassing that the Rays are doing what they’re doing on Arod’s salary for this season. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!
43 million a year for the Rays.
ha who was the asshole on here who was jumping allover me cause he was certain that pettite would be spectacular after the ASB? how do u like me NOWW
I dont think he is totally healthy for whatever that is worth.
Then he shouldn’t be pitching.
See what happens when you attack the strike zone, Veras? You get outs.
Bring back Moose next year, say goodbye to Pettitte.
7-pitch inning for Halladay. Greeeeeeeeeeat job guys.
So long Ponson and Rasner. Hello Aceves!
Finally, a ray of hope.
Well, at least Aceves looked great
I’m watching the future investment pitch a 1 hit shutout against the Pirates. 10 K’s, still throwin hard.
Sabathia: CG, 1H, 3BB, 11K. The only hit he gave up was a check swing by Andy LaRoche. It couldve been scored an error on CC. 9-0 with the Brewers. Next year will be great.
ned yost is to cc as
joe torre was to scott proctor
He was still throwing 94-96 in the 9th. I understand your concerns though
less about today than the cumulative effect (130 pitches last week etc)
Aceves has great stuff. All this time I’ve been hearing his fastball is like 90-91 when in fact it’s 90-94 mph! I’m glad Rasner and Ponson are starting instead of him.
Don’t forget, he only threw two innings today, so he probably wasn’t holding anything back. It will be interesting to see if he can throw 90-94 over 6 innings.
Aceves did not appear to be using maximum effort otherwise all his pitches would have been around 94 mph so yes I think he can maintain that velocity as a starter.
