The comments in the earlier thread are adding up, so use this one for discussion about tonight’s game.
LOL at Yogi’s commentary when Mora got the hit: “Oh sh—-”
nevermind, it was Whitey
Whitey was about to say “oh shit” and realized he was on a live mike
Better get those guys out before they start swearing, they’ve just caught themselves a few times, I love it
They’re too old to give a shit. I bet the producers edited it out on the delay.
Yup. I bet Yogi was trying to holla at Elston Howard’s daughter and shit.
You get a certain age, you’re bulletproof.
Hey baby, you know what a Yogasm is? I can do great things with applesauce.
lol, like in the movie “Waiting”
Stupid ESPN guys keep interrupting them.
Also, I strongly dislike Brian Roberts.
What was that whole shot with O’Neill? Was he just walking through the crowd…?
It’s sure is great to listen baseball with Yogi and Ford.
Miller: “He had a no-hitter, and all of a sudden, he lost it… on the one hit he gave up!”
HAHAHAHAH… you mush for brains.
Why do you dislike Brian Roberts?
Why not?
This is really going to suck if they lose tonight
Nah, everyone will forget the result of the game in a month anyway. They’re remember Bernie and Yogi and all the bells and whistles.
It really was an awesome ceremony.
That was a great quote from Yogi: “I won’t miss this place because it’s a part of me.”
That’s awesome.
I wouldn’t be surprise if A-Rod is hitting on Howard’s daughter. You know how A-Rod like those MILF’s.
She’s not old and wrinkly enough.
nah, he’s more into the female bodybuilder look, not old chicks. madonna just happens to be a little of both.
Madonna’s not old-looking to you?
She looks like a shar-pei.
Wow, the trolls really got to LoHud.
?
that place is awful
It’s even worse than usual tonight.
Yeah, I was laughing my ass off about that a minute ago. It’s kind of hilariously bad this evening.
Nothing is sacred anymore
I was on there earlier and saw them as well, I just don’t understand those idiots.
To add to my RA saga…. a different RA came in to watch a movie on the only TV in the dorm with cable. We got into a shouting match when she unplugged the cable and I put them back in. This was before I knew she was an RA. Now I’m in a different dorm watching.
fucking RAs on a power trip
Do you have running water there?
yes, why do you ask?
lol, seriously, smack that bitch
its not even the same RA! theyre all fucked up
huh, my RAs are all cool, leave me the hell alone. But we have TVs in all our rooms, in the living room, huge LCDs in the lobby. I guess I’m lucky
Damn. Where the hell do you go? At Plattsburgh we had the world’s first zenith.
U of Central Florida, in Orlando
Has anyone ever noticed that Moose Skowron in his hayday looks like John C. Reilly?
It would be some funny shit if Jose Molina hits the last Homerun in Yankee stadium.
Yeah, It’d be better if it was Gardner.
Molina with a hit… By Mariano, we will not lose tonight.
Roberts is so friendly with all the yankees, why can’t we just trade for him. Or even make a 3 way send cano somewhere and Robets in return
JOHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNY DAMON!!!
Teed that shit up
Damon. A true player. Why? Hes an ex redsox.
JOHNNY DAMON.
Johnny!
idiots!
Johnny wants to be the last one baby
damon has always come up big in this stadium.
unfortunately, sometimes he wasn’t a yankee
A JAY-BOMB! FOR JAY-DAM!
Ehh, A for effort.
New candidate for last HR at the stadium
That’s the only way Matsui and Molina were going to round the bases
Stupid greek.
Reference to Markakis?
Yup.
don’t even acknowledge it
A for effort Cap’n
a great yankee stadium HR.
fitting
If Abreu made the play Markakis just did, I might have a heart attack
No kidding.
The House that Damon Closed?
Damon is a lucky guy, to hit two famous hr’s for both the sox and yanks in yankee stadium.
Two? I only recall tonight’s.
Game 7, 2004.
I don’t know what you’re talking about. 2004 playoffs were canceled after ALCS game 3.
I hope your joking.
Maybe he repressed the memory, like a shell-shocked Vietnam Vet or something.
Starting to get some good rips on this guy
i’ll tell you what would suck: if Millar hits the last HR.
Waters wants nothing to do with ARod.
What the O’s got paid off not to allow A-Rod to swing the bat to hit the last Homer.
Can’t wait for ARod to have 4 walks and no official AB’s, so he can be booed for not hitting the ball…
“No, no, he’s talking about ‘Chairman of the Board,” that’s me!”
Priceless.
Huh, the first and last HR at the Stadium might be hit by ex-Sox.
My dad just brought that up as well.
No matte what, the sox are join to the hip.
So was the first….
That 56 Game hitting streak as days go by looks quite unbreakable.
Word. That’s a getting a hit in every game for 2 months.
Mike, promise me you’ll never allow this blog to become like lohud!
Never. Trolls don’t stand a chance here.
Wow, that is insanely bad over there tonight, reasons I’m staying right here
Yogi and Whitey were hilarious man
they were great, hopefully whoever goes to the box next is just as entertaining (doubt it)
Hey, Frank Robinson, the forgotten superstar.
Nobody brings his name up in conversations about the all-time greats, and he was nasty.
Neither Stan Musial.
Word.
Harmon Killebrew too.
I wonder who’s going to pull the lever. They said it would be a special surprise guest.
i’ll guess Big Stein
Could we possibly be lucky enough to have it be George?
My money is on the Boss as well.
Fucking Payton. And Millar.
It’d be awesome if it was Bob Shepard
I don’t care about the lever. I want to see Kate Smith sing God Bless America.
Live and in person.
Dude, if there’s any time and place it could happen…
They may need to get her a chair, though.
And hook her up to a car battery.
Mmm, I don’t know…she was a pretty, er, well-built woman…
Probably Rudy Guiliani, hopefully George
Ugh. Fuck Rudy Guliani.
I’m suprised he didn’t pull the lever on 9/11.
i really hope Millar leaves the division next year
WTF? second time that’s happened
Yogi is a funny dude. I loved when they were talking bout chairman of the board and yogi went on for a minute and than they were like we were talking to whitey lol me and my dad were cracking up.. and when rizzuto said jackie robinson was safe but he wasnt even in the game
The best part is that as it turns out, Rizzuto was in the game when Jackie stole home, so the fact that he edited himself out makes the story even better, I’d say.
how nuts is it that the O’s might have 3 guys with 50 doubles?
even the worst team in the AL East would compete in the NL
They’d probably be the wild card right now. Just a guess.
Screw the wildcard.
The Orioles would probably be winning the NL East.
There’s 4 players in the bigs that have 47 or more doubles, 3 play for the O’s.
That’s a lucky hit.
Pettite is killing me
he had some shitty luck that inning.
dribbler in front of the plate, and he jammed roberts
Awww fuck. This game is beginning to seriously annoy me.
We could really use a good pitcher.
No way, they belong in the 8th inning.
It would have been really cool if Joba could’ve started this game.
Yeah I bet the Braves win all those years in the 90s if they stick Maddux and Glavine in the pen.
They would have won 6 or 7 titles, easy.
Your best pitchers belong in the 8th and 9th innings. It’s a baseball fact.
I’m guessing, Arod with the game winning rbi.
Iight I got a question, who is the greatest Homegrown Yankee ever?
Gotta be Gehrig, right?
Yeah, no doubt
Mantle
I would say Joe D.
Gerald “Ice” Williams.
Phil Coke
What a magic night, Cano just walked!
And Molina with the HR. Crazy, crazy night.
CANOBP!!!
Robbie took batting practice?
imagine if red sox got swept in their next series and we swept toronto.. god only in my dreams
So they can celebrate with a win against us?
ya thats what i want to see
A Cano BB?
Just getting to the site now … been watching on ESPN. What a great ceremony tonight. Hearing the chants for O’Neill and Bernie made me feel like it was 1996 all over again.
Hava muthafuckin Molina!!!
Wow. Can’t believe it! Just enough to get onto the netting …
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MOLINA GOES DOWN IN HISTORY!!!!!!!
Are you KIDDING me?
HAVA!
What did I say.
JOSE
get the f*ck out of here!
please let that be the last HR ever.
that would be too funny.
There is no God but Mariano, and Molina is his messenger.
Molina, HR, unexpected
No way Molina has the final hr.
Now THERE’S an unlikely candidate for the last HR at the Stadium.
Hava Molina, indeed!
I’m speechless…..
http://riveraveblues.com/2008/.....ent-161166
Ivan, go play the lotto
That’s only half as good as the time Manny predicted the exact time – down to the minute – that the ASG would end.
Wow, I didn’t remember that. Pretty impressive.
Ivan you are right! HAVA Molina!!!! haha…
Hot chocolate really hits the spot when you have a soar throat
if Jeter has an 0-fer tonight, his entire career would be invalidated
So Jeter asked Sheppard to add “Now Batting” to his intro call, and then had Sheppard record the call so it can be played into perpetuity…
Derek Jeter knows branding.
In a related story, have you visited his website, jetersfordchallenge.com? It’s full of cool outtakes, bloopers, and behind the scenes footage of all his commercials. You should check it out.
I hear he got his Edge in blazing copper.
With a cool panoramic vista sunroof.
And voice-activated something-or-other.
And a SYNC voice activated bluetooth system.
Theres definately ghosts. Babe probably picked the fattest guy in the line up to hit a hr.
Ponson is going to bat?
Britton with the PH homerun in the bottom of the 15th at 12:04AM
When’s Ponson going to hit his homer?
Cano gonna hit a bomb im telling u
i think they’ll hit like 5 more HRs tonight
Nice job waving to the TV screen, Bernie.
Girardis kids are lucky
Bernie at age 40 is a better hitter than Melky.
unfortunately, his wife is a better OFer
nice Joe looking to getting bernie in there next year
Ooo they’re pulling the lever now.
And ESPN is on commercial……..figures
Seriously … so, who pulled it, though?
ESPN had better show it….
is Cone in the bullpen?
its gonnna be hank with a sabathia jersey on
lol
hilarious. “i know the season isn’t even over and he is still under contract to the Milwaukee Brewers, but I have already signed CC Sabathia to a 10 year, $400M contract”
“I want you for the New York Yankees” lol
lol hes like i know its risky but we gotta do what we gotta do to bring us back to the championship years meanswhile cashman is calling up seattle or philly asking how much they pay
Speaking of Melky, it would be even more crazy if he hit the last Homer. Geez even Mike couldn’t throw cold water on that.
Melky – Inside the Parker.
How dare you create baseball hell for us all, O Maker of Futures?
Who’s pulling it?
How about Tino?
Are they seriously not going to show it
I texted Ben, I’ll let you know when he replies.
He said they didn’t pull it yet, doesn’t know why.
they’ll put it at the end
*pull
It was LeBron James wearing a Knicks jersey.
I wish.
It’s gonna be Roger Clemens.
With Mike Piazza and Mr. McNamee.
Brian McNamee
as he pulls the lever out of the wall and breaks it over his knee
Or Tom Brady. He’s got some free time on his hands.
Or perhaps Derek Anderson. He should be permanently benched for Brady Quinn by now.
I think it is gonna be someone from the Dodgers..Yup, that’s right.. Manny is gonna pull the lever..
ITs gotta be George right
I read somewhere that he’s not at the stadium
thats what they would say to make it a suprise
They can set it up like they did with Bob Sheppard yesterday – via video linkup.
If you mean George Costanza, assistant to the traveling secretary, then maybe
My name…is Tanya.
Giambi can’t go away fast enough.
It’ll be Steve Phillips, as a precursor to him taking over when Cash leaves…
Excuse me for a moment. I’m going to go light myself on fire.
I just threw up everywhere, thanks alot
Even as a joke, not funny, just not.
Way to ruin Andy’s ovation ESPN. Jesus Christ.
Could they have fucked it up any worse? I say no.
heh, heh.
“Boomer, what do you remember about your perfect game?”
“I dunno, I was drunk as shit.”
whoops! meant to post that lower.
Sorry, I’m drunk as shit.
Was just commenting the same thing Mike. Seriously … I hate ESPN
Gammons: “what do you remember about your perfect game?”
Cone:”i remember the strike zone was 4 feet wide”
Its got to be Mike Pags, he is the ultimate Yankee.
In all seriousness shouldn’t it be Gene Micheals.
wearing a dugoutcentral.com t-shiirt
Pettitte you deserve it.
This is great, that was the third time today I heard Cone tell the story about Yogi riding around the stadium in a convertible before throwing his perfect game, and each time he told it the kind of car changed.
I know who will pull the level…..Kevin Brown.
lever excuse me.
With which hand?
Pavano.
You Kevin Brown has the same career stats as Curt Schilling, why isn’t Brown talked about for the HOF?
Brown is not an accomplished wordsmith renowned for his wonderful blog.
Orel Hershisher too. And both Brown and Orel had some big moments in the playoffs. Maybe because Schilling never shuts his fucking mouth?
i’d say it’s 50-50 Veras gives up a bomb here
Way to go, ESPN. It’s bad enough you have those 2 pieces of crap as the broadcasters, thanks for adding to it by missing both Pettitte walking off of the mound and the curtain call. Thanks a bunch, you NESPN pieces of crap.
uhh? strike 4?
Second pitch (that was obviously a strike) was called a ball. It was so bad the TV guys called it a strike
Did Millar just get 4 strikes? What the hell happened?
They want to make sure they embarrassed him. Yeah, that’s it.
ESPN screwed up i think
I was wondering the same thing, WTF just happened?
You know, in that first game way back in 1923, after every strikeout they played the PC Richards whistle.
It’s true.
“Julio Veras”
At least it’s not Tim McCarver and “Robertson Cano”
Or former Sox pitcher “Brandon” Arroyo
Yes, Jon, his name is “Julio” Veras.
And they signed him this winter after he hurt his arm last year.
My first trip to Yankee Stadium was April 14th, 1996. I was 6 years old and didn’t understand what the game was and what it meant. The Yanks won that game 12-3 and that was my first moment into yankee fanhood. Yankee Stadium is a place where dreams come true. I know that sounds cliche but its true. Being a fan of this team for the past 13 seasons has truly defined my life. It’s a place which I’ve grown up. It’s a place where I learned the storied history of a great classy team. I hope and pray that the new stadium has the same feel to it because the feel of Yankee Stadium will forever be itched into my mind forever. Go yanks.
You know where else dreams come true? At the Bunny Ranch.
you mean Michael Jackson’s ranch, right? Lots of little boys who loved it there
Good news. Joe Morgan just announced that the Yankees just got JULIO VERAS!
Wow Val Kilmer has to be a lil ticked no?
Hey everyone look, it’s Michael Keaton!
It’s Enrico Pallazzo!
Drebin? Frank?
You’re both right.
The only people missing is Bale and Cloney and we have all the batman people.
“superstar” matthew modine?
Where the hell did that one miss?
It missed down the middle. Funny how that strike zone has gotten smaller by the inning
the ump doesn’t want this magical night to end
See my comment above.
And Reggie’s in the crowd too!!! Security better keep their eyes on him during the 7th inning.
Okay, now I’m looking for Ricardo Montalban with his Uzi.
Is the Queen in the house tonight?
I was waiting for Bobby Knight to turn around and choke out that kid behind him.
Veras has some nasty stuff. He just needs to get himself a little more under control.
i wish he wouldn’t walk the 9 hitter with Roberts on deck
sometimes he has some great movement (like tonight), other times his FB is as straight as an arrow
Why does Jon Miller have to over enunciate every Spanish name?
Curve ball looking right here
Strike 3 right there
Jose i liked that pitch
Urgh.
how come ESPN never shows the “k Zone” on a close pitch for the Yankees?
Oh that was fucking gay. Kay pulled the lever, and it went from 0 to Forever because there will always be a Yankee Stadium.
Seriously? This isn’t a cruel joke?
Damn straight. Just like there will always be a Hilltop Park, right underneath that huge Columbia Presbyterian Hospital and shit.
You’re joking, yes?
I’m dead serious.
i don’t mind the corny sentiment since the “Countdown lever” is something i’ve been tricked into caring about for some reason, but i hate Kay.
seriously?
Kay? Really?
Word. Of all people, Michael Kay.
Are you seriously serious?
Dead ass serious.
If that’s true, I’m very glad ESPN didn’t show it.
did us a favor for once
Jon Miller: “And, we’re back, and the Yankees have Phil Coke on the mound.”
Joe Morgan: “And joining us in the booth are Yankee greats Darryl Strawberry, Dwight Gooden, and Steve Howe!”
No Tim Raines?
I think MO should pitch 8 and 9 and that Torre should make a special appearance to bring him in for old times sake.
Why can’t umps call a fair strike zone?
Time for some Coke.
The pen is most likely our strongest asset going into next year
Girardi sure loves some Coke.
Coke-y Roberts should be a good matchup
Coke is from Northern California? I thought he was from Central Colombia.
Phillip Coke!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Give him the fist pump baby!!
We need a good nickname for Coke.
“The Mule”?
Yours is better.
Philthy Coke.
Coke Fiend?
That would be the perfect nickname for Torre if he was over using him.
Rum n
How bout, Phil “im not hughes” Coke. or, Phil “Im no ChOKEr” Coke. or or, The Carbonizator..something…. i got to stop this.
That chick with the “Mike” tattoo on her back in the Yellowbook commercial is damn hot. She knows where it’s at.
totally. she has some outrageous assets.
She has a good taste in names
I hear Jessica Alba is more of a “dan” guy. Yea, lower case “d” and all.
That Coke is a beast… Unfortunately he had a joba-like reaction to that strikeout. I think Goose is making his way over as we speak to give him a talking to.
Roberts just got a coKe! or, Roberts got Coked!….ok, im gonna stop.
God, I hate that YellowBook commercial.
“So, when are you marrying Mike?”
“Uh, hello, dumbass, I looked you up for TATTOO REMOVAL. What the hell makes you think I’m marrying this guy who’s name is tattooed on my body? Wouldn’t your first assumption be that I want nothing to do with this guy who’s name is tattooed on my body if I’m inquiring about your tattoo removal service?
Would a mortician ask me if I was planning a birthday party when I walked into his funeral parlor?
yes, but she’s hot as balls
Good point, but still.
That’s almost as bad as this:
http://www.firejoemorgan.com/2.....tness.html
i just laughed my ass off, thank you once again
balls are hot? since when
you’ve never gone jogging in tighty whiteys?
Oh, man, this is heading down a bad road.
Here’s another pic of Laura Posada to get us turned around again:
http://lh4.ggpht.com/mantlemur.....Posada.jpg
Glad I’m not the only one who is bothered by the stupidity of that shit.
Did they just call it hopps? Are they talking about brewing beer or something?
Remember when Reggie was in the movie Baseketball.
I didn’t know O-P-S could be said as “ops”
neither did I. cringe-worthy. and the best analyst in baseball sat there mutely.
Cringe-worthy, really?
I say it as “ops” all the time. Is it that big of a deal?
not really.
yeah, not really. but I’ll take any excuse to rag on those guys.
“He threw a mattress ball, and I just laid on it.”
Heh.
reggie with a veiled shot at A-Rod? why not.
Please tell me you all heard John Miller talk about “OPS” LMFAO!!
I never get over what a bomb Reggie’s 3rd HR was.
On a knuckler too. Imagine if that’s a 95 mph heater
Yea that ball was just destroyed.
Its Hava Molina night!
Watch, At the end of the inning Joe Morgan is going to get on his knees and ask Reggie to marry him. What a loser…
BTW, Jose Molina is doing is best babe impression. Awesome!
Well both guys are legends. Reggie is Mr October and Morgan is arguably the greatest 2b of all-time.
Joe Morgan is going to go hunt you down and kill you for including “arguably” in that statement.
Joe Morgan is the GREATEST second baseman ever, and played on the GREATEST team ever, the Cincinnati Reds. Don’t you fucking forget it. EVER.
and he never lets us forget that he is a hall of famer!!!!!!!!!!!
You’d think he were Babe Ruth the way he talks
See what I am talking about: Apparently chanting Reggie (1-word) implies more respect that Derek-Jeter (2 words). The guy might be a great ball-player and what not but Joe Morgan is a (ignorant) prick in the booth. I simply don’t understand why he cant quit.
Jeter, grand slam
Would it be just off the wall if Jeter hit a GS here.
setting it up for a Cap’n GS.
Reggie really is appreciative of his place in history, and what it means to be a member of the franchise.
Way to go A-Rod. I mean Jeter.
I agree, he didn’t com through there and we should now throw his entire career of good hitting out the window and declare him a choker like we did to A-Rod. I mean it’s only fair right?
Thats twice Jeter has been rung up, bullshit!!!!
Funny last inning that wasn’t a strike for Veras
think they wouldnt be bias in the last game.. NOOO why wud they do that lol
sigh.
MO doesnt come in mid inning for the ovation right? if not u think ESPN will show it?
Cap’n politely arguing. His parents taught him good manners
Jeter pulled a A-Rod.
Just kidding.
No you’re not.
This HP ump, as is the norm with ump’s around the league, is a joke.
Angel Hernandez is usually such a good ump too
look how high Coke got there
har har har look at that pun.
The Mule. I like it.
Joba in baby!!! take the game to Mo in the 9th.
Teh JAH-BER!!!!!!!
Joba!!!
Now we need Goose in the booth, to weigh in on the Joba-the-reliever debate.
WTF? Joba is the 8TH INNING guy. Not the 7.1 INNING guy!!!11!1
Mike,
You fail.
Yours very sincerely,
Paul A. O’Neill and the Jorge Posada Foundation
I laughed at that.
You LOL’d? For real?
JOBA IN THE HOUSE!!!
Joba Time!
I still cant believe Kay pulled the lever. What a pointless promotion
he did lmao?! you know thats all ur gonna hear on 1050 tmrw
They weren’t kidding when they said “special”
too bad C.B. BUCKNOR couldnt ump the last game. hes a huge yankee fan. i remember fondly when he called julio lugo a dumb bastard after calling him out on strikes.
They couldn’t dig up Eric Gregg?
I’m sorry, whats the story with him?
WTF!!!! Pete Abe said Michael Kay pulled the lever!!!! r u fukin kiddin me!!!!!
I hope Miller & Morgan discuss the reliever/starter debate. Morgan’s actually pro-starter.
i personally hope that they die in a car crash on the way home.
Yes. He thinks every good pitcher should be a starter… and should pitch complete games every time out with 200 pitches thrown.
It would make games much more exciting if you ask me! These are all reasons Morgan will NEVER be a manager
Well, that, and his massive, world-altering stupidity.
Those are the two reasons he’ll never be a manager.
never again, anyway
Past a diving Jeter….whaaaaaa???
EAT SLIDER BITCH! That’s just not fair
Nice job by Morgan stretching “Derek Jeter” into 5 syllables.
NASTY.
O come on, what ever happened to Take Me Out To The Ballgame?
Ronen Tynan got a set of pipes on him, huh?
No Kate Smith? Really?
You mean to tell me that 2-2 pitch was a ball while that 3-2 pitch to Jeter was a strike? What is Hernandez trying to prove?
It always astonishes me how his ears go outward.
I love Reggie and all, but man those guys like to suck Reggies dick.
specifically, Joe Morgan.
–
from the send Joe Morgan to timbuktu foundation.
JOBA HUNGRY
And now, back from the dead just for this occasion, here’s Luciano Pavarotti to sing “Cotton Eyed Joe”!
then robert goulet will sing the hokey pokey!
The Joba relief pitcher/starting pitcher is a joke to me. Honestly I don’t understand how people wouldn’t want a bonafide ace over a bonafide 8th inning reliever. Just doesn’t make sense to me.
What is that I smell? Is that ummm, common fucking sense? It is!!
ELI!!
OK why are they advertising the Emmys when they already happened tonight?
OH MY GOD. MICHAEL KAY AND JOE MORGAN ARE IN THE SAME BOOTH!!1!
I really want to make a comment that appropriately sums up the apocalyptic nature of what’s going on here, but I feel like only Jamal can really do that properly, so I’ll hold off.
Throw in Steve Phillips and we have the greatest broadcast trio ever!!!!
Any chance we can get a home run and some yell “And you can put it on the Booooard!” Just to add more stupidity to this situation.
i was just gnna say that lmfao. but unlike most of you i find kay to be a good broadcaster. thats after listening to the SNY met broadcasts of course.
As we speak, wormholes are opening up in that booth to alternate dimensions of staggering stupidity.
Rick Sutcliffe should show up too … just to basically cause the universe to explode …
Where’s Dick Vitale and Dr. Joyce Brothers?
Now where did I put that doomsday razor blade? Shit, can’t find it. Johnny Walker and sleeping pills?
My head may explode
Talk about our nightmares coming true.
