Duh! It’s their home opener. In recent years, it’s the only baseball game that Baltimore’s fans care about before they start focusing on football and the Ravens…
Fangraphs said his average fastball velocity was 93.7 last year. Probably just an Opening Day thing . . . but in combination with his lack of fastball command, it’s why he’s getting knocked around today.
It’s been disappointing so far, but there’s still time for them to pick it up. Hopefully C.C. can have a nice, easy inning here. (Commercials give me time to be rational.)
It’s to ensure that the people who bought tickets to Opening Day get to see the first game of the year. If this game got rained out, they would have played the first game tomorrow.
If they played say, three games in a row, then the people who bought tickets to Game Two could have seen Opening Day.
It’s in case of a rainout in the first game, not the stupidest thing ever. People who paid to go to Opening day should get to go to Opening Day and if the first game is rained out, this ensures that they still have the Opening Day tickets.
Lucky for you guys CC has an opt out clause after 3 yrs. For the Yankees sake you better hope he uses it. Johan on the other hand looked quite nice today. The Mets bullpen looked good too. Textbook would be a good way to put it.
CC’s a notoriously slow starter. If you consider that he started with a 7+ ERA in April last year and still finished with those ridiculous numbers, I like our chances in the second half of the season.
CC could get injured…..
The Yankees could be shut out….
Gardner could be 0-2….
Jeter could have an error….
Damon could not be raking….
I could go on if you’d like.
It’s the first game guys.
Dude, why would you come where you’re not wanted just to disrupt people? We don’t come to your place of business and knock the dick out of your mouth, do we?
I did a draft last night in The Show (using the Yankees) lost 1st game 14-10 (with Roy Halladay starting for me) then up 4-1 in the 7th inning in Game 2 Brad Ziegler gives up a grand slam to Aramis Ramirez and I go on to lose 6-5.
The real life Yankees are just imitating my fake Yankees.
Girardi puts way too much emphasis on lefty-righty matchups (see last year automatic Giambi platoon)- Walking Ty Wiggington to face Luke Scott, Really? Really?
I like the optimism.. Albie comes in and gets us out of this inning, we chip away with a run or two in the 6th, hold them and then attack and reclaim the lead in the 7th or 8th
Hey we all saw the Unit go out there and blow away the sox in game 1 of ’05 and look how that turned out… its game numero uno… lets give it a few weeks.
This is more of the same from the Yankees offense, runner on 2nd with no outs and they can’t get the run home, terrible. I don’t think they have a hit with RISP today..
Can you just boot him? I’m sure you don’t like doing that kind of thing, but he’s clearly not here to try to participate in any sort of intelligent discourse.
Commenting on a blog with the sole purpose of pissing people off could certainly be called “harassment,” which is prohibited by RAB Commenting Guideline #2.
This is not someone who is coming here to chat and having a disagreement with other commenters. His sole intent is to harass.
wouldn’t you bench him if you were a manager? or do you just lay down cause you don’t wanna get injured in a run down? when i was in little league i’m sure i would have been benched if i did what nady just did (and i wanted nady over swish)
I was a Swisher advocate too. And I’ll look past the baserunning mistake by Nady. But run it out man. Don’t just stand there like you have some sense of entitlement. Swisher would have ran. Nice to see Brian Roberts hustle when he gets picked off.
You don’t pinch hit for your starting Rf when cody ransom and brett gardner are playing. Especially when you named the RF as your starter over said pinch hitter. What kind of message does that send?
So what r the Yankees so far today with runners in scoring position?? A Damon Sac fly and Jeter’s infield hit which didnt turn into a run thanks to Nady pulling a boner. Still assumin Yanks win this game though….
hes just not sharp…he’l be ok right? RIGHT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
No!!! You need to grab your torch and pitchfork! Riot in the streets!
Where’s CC live? We got to teach this guy and his family a lesson.
Well atleast he didnt shove down a camera man
OH NOEEESS!!!
Fucking blackout! I’m watching ESPN Taiwan, it has come to that.
howd you get that? please share
Me too.
How do you get the broadcast to work, my computer saying it doesnt know how to open their streams
yea me too…did you see that Wang commercial?
yeah instead of discussing it with the other dude why not tlel us how you got it up and running or what site to go to?
http://riveraveblues.com/river.....uidelines/
Number 3. I’ve tried before (not today) RAB will delete them. Sorry.
Its so hilarious
Unrelated (*wink*) but try googling myp2p…thats all I’m saying….
maybe read their “beginers guide” and “software page” if youre having trouble….
CC is all over the place and he still only has given up 3 runs.
I blame A-Rod.
seriously
Can I blame that triple on Nady being a terrible Right Fielder?
Abreu>>>>>>>>>Nady
sarcasm i hope
I like Abreu more but he is definitely not better when bringing his defense in.
I don’t know, our offense could really use a big bat, an A-Rod type player maybe…
Damn you Mora!!
damn Ransom got robbed
Hell yeah!
CC will be fine this inning. You’ll see.
::grabs pitchfork and molotov cocktail::
i hope so…
Yeah, apparently not. ::sharpens pitchfork; checks torch::
3-1 already?!?! Damnit…
Struggling.
He obviously hates it here in NY, wishing he was in SF.
“Error establishing database connection”
wtf?
i keep getting internal server error the 500 error says site is either under maintenance or some other option. we’re flooding rab
FINALLY I’VE GOTTEN IN ON THE THREAD!! i’ve been blocked out for over an hour. its easier to get into Marquee.
ietc
Why the fuck are you posting “ietc” everywhere?
ietc.
well played
i enjoyed this comment for the lazy.
Alright, thanks
i second that
It’s easier to get into Tom Brady’s wedding than it is RAB. This place is exclusive.
http://football.realgm.com/src.....n_wedding/
Ransom would have had that. Mad hops son!!!
Uh….how many times will vice president Joe Biden say “Hell Yeah!”? lol
The fastball command just isn’t there.
C’mon, CC get an out… Maybe Wild Thing needs some thick-framed glasses
Walk slow Eiland. CC’s laboring.
Can someone report on whats going on? Is CC looking ok?
By the way, anyone seen what this Emilio Bonifacio character in Florida is doing? Inside the park???
He’s struggling to throw the fastball for strikes. A lot of pitches, a lot of balls. Not a good day but still just three runs.
Yankees bullpen gonna have a workout already on Opening Day.
ugggh these gamecast things SUCK. they freeze up and nothing happens and then in like 10 seconds 10 minutes worth of stuff happens and it goes crazy
It’s the ESPN curse. The Yanks almost always lose when the game is one ESPN…
I don’t understand why CC has given up runs. My expectations for him was a CG shutout every start with a few no hitters staggered in there. (sarcasm)
Damn marketing genius throwing the inaugural season patch on the back of the hat, now I’ll end up buying a new hat.
Damn marketing
geniuslogic throwing the inaugural season patch on the back of the hat, now I’ll end up buying a new hat.On a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the most disappointed, i’m at a 4. Why do the O’s put up such fight?
I’m at 4 because CC just looks horrible.
Every hitter has been a challenge. btw. what’s with “ietc”.
I enjoyed this comment.
Duh! It’s their home opener. In recent years, it’s the only baseball game that Baltimore’s fans care about before they start focusing on football and the Ravens…
they’re full of Yankee killers
People should know when they’re conquered.
I never noticed that little hitch he has when the ball is behind his back in his windup.
What was that about not needing a long-man? Hopefully Alby is up to the job.
of course, the first game of the season with the ace out there they might need a long man haha
Is MLB Gameday off or is CC getting squeezed bigtime?
Its showing pitches in the zone that are being called balls (almost every pitch now).
UMP got fucked up
I hate the O’s, I really do. They only play hard against the Yankees.
riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight
This is getting bad
There are 1453 innings left in the season, the yankees had 4 bad ones.
Could we see Phil Coke come in for 2 innings?
It’s alright baby, as singy just said the Dp is still in order.
YES, and done!
Nice!
Damon throwing a baseball will never get old.
CC needs a K or else..
Big DP right there.
Or that DP helps lol
WOOHOO double play
nice dp
That is exactly why we got Tex.
Phew.
Texxy earned a little bit of his contract there, catching that DP throw from Jeter.
now if only he can earn the rest of the $100 million…
He can earn a little bit more if he brings in Damon here.
Is it just the ESPN radar gun, or is CC’s fastball looking a little slow? I don’t think I’ve seen him above 92 all day.
mlb gameday has had CC at better velocity than that.
YES has him at 89-90. Gameday and Pitch F/X have him at 92-94.
Fangraphs said his average fastball velocity was 93.7 last year. Probably just an Opening Day thing . . . but in combination with his lack of fastball command, it’s why he’s getting knocked around today.
why did Guthrie choose today to pitch well?
It’s still early.
Does CC have a K today?
Nope.
It would be nice if CC found the strike zone
His ribs are hurting?
too much hearty laughter with his team mates and their bromances
This isn’t the same Jeremy Guthrie we saw pitching for US in WBC. He just looked aweful and now he’s unhittable>?
Thank you Damon.
nice damon…smoke’em
The offense looks weak still.
….5 innings.
Pardon my language but its the 5th fucking inning of the first game of the season .
FIngers crossed for tex hr
it’s tex time.
Haha Tex taking out the fans one at a time.
He looks exhausted. (CC) (not closed caption)
wow…that was a stike…make it worth it.
Not the way the ump has been calling the game today.
shite
One too many cheeseburgers before the game for CC.
Looked like a called strike to me, lucky…
Wow that was clearly a strike.
according to espn gameast call 4 was just right down the exact middle of the plate….really?
can i get verification of this
just about, yeah
great umpiring all around it seems
It was definitely a strike.
I’d say it was in the middle of the plate, up in the zone. Tex crouched a little, maybe that threw off the ump.
Ugh.
got away with one there… time for matsui to ground out…
How long will CC last?
It’s been disappointing so far, but there’s still time for them to pick it up. Hopefully C.C. can have a nice, easy inning here. (Commercials give me time to be rational.)
Yankees picking up where they left off last season with leaving runners on base.
Where is the ’09 team? Cause this offense is from ’08.
Mike Cameron would have caught that.
Can’t blame Gardner there.nice try
Why not?
Easy inning? No. Okay then.
Damn you, Brian Roberts! ::shakes fist::
Melky wouldve caught that…..
Big Blue Albert you have beaten me to the punch.
melky would have had that
well, time to go home. hopefully when i get home its 4-3 yanks
damn it!!!!!!!!! I miss you melky.
Someone’s afraid of the wall.
I wonder if anybody has ever said that about Gardner at any point in his career.
Whose idea was it to have an off day in the middle of a series anyway? Stupidest thing ever, and they do it every year after opening day…
It’s to ensure that the people who bought tickets to Opening Day get to see the first game of the year. If this game got rained out, they would have played the first game tomorrow.
If they played say, three games in a row, then the people who bought tickets to Game Two could have seen Opening Day.
Interesting, thanks. So basically it’s so they can charge more for opening day tickets
Damn, beat me to it Mike.
Word, last year opening day at yankee stadium was rained out and rescheduled for the following day.
The Marlins mustve missed the memo. They play the Nationals Mon, Tue and Wed.
It’s in case of a rainout in the first game, not the stupidest thing ever. People who paid to go to Opening day should get to go to Opening Day and if the first game is rained out, this ensures that they still have the Opening Day tickets.
This ump is terrible.
I miss A-Rod.
Anyone else think CC wont get out of the inning?
Not I.
Take him out.
this ump is rediculous…missing calls left and right and down the middle.
CC’s getting hammered today.
Looks like he got hammerred last night.
ietc
No, Brandon Webb and Aaron Cook got hammered today. CC’s just laboring.
if 3 runs is getting hammered, i’ll take it. hopefully, 3 runs.
shize
Come on Carsten Charles you got this!
We paid for CC Sabathia but we are getting CC Ponson so far.
Lucky for you guys CC has an opt out clause after 3 yrs. For the Yankees sake you better hope he uses it. Johan on the other hand looked quite nice today. The Mets bullpen looked good too. Textbook would be a good way to put it.
Lol.
Where is the sarcasm meter when you need it…
Ugh. Have fun with the rest of your rotation bruh.
Probably, the only time this season that Oliver Perez won’t be leading the league in walks.
Oh please, Johan didn’t look all that good. He was wiggling in and out of trouble all day against an NL team.
It’s one game.
Foreel, threw so many pitches he only lasted 5 2/3.
Johan’s supposed to be automatic against the weak teams. Johan did his job today.
Yes he did. But nothing to brag about in my opinion.
ThisCommentIsEpicFail
CC’s a notoriously slow starter. If you consider that he started with a 7+ ERA in April last year and still finished with those ridiculous numbers, I like our chances in the second half of the season.
shaping up similar to opening day last year for CC
This is fucking atrocious. I still think he’ll get through it though.
quality start is out of the window
Yeah this is pretty bad. my opening day is nearly spoiled. Lets hope things can turn around very quickly in the game.
He doesn’t have good stuff. Fine. Then take him out!!!! Seriously, Girardi is already pissing me off.
Exactly. There’s no reason not to with an off-day tomorrow.
We are in 2009 right?? For some reason I feel like its 2008 still….
2008 cont .. agreed
Offense struggling against a not-that-good pitcher and a fat guy pitching and giving up runs left and right… It definately feels like ’08.
he better not pitch like this opening day at the new stadium…
It’s not Cliff Lee or Brandon Webb, but it’s sure as heck not decent. So far he has a 9.00 ERA, which is…disappointing, I think.
C’mon CC. K mora.
K someone. Did you know that he had exactly zero games last year without at least one K?
I wonder if he is going through a dead arm period.
Can everyone please stop overreacting right now.
Agreed.
Chiiiiilllllll.
lol.
Thank you Ransom.
WTF
God, the defense is playing horrible too.
Jesus Christ hopefully we lose all the bandwagon fans right quick.
Better off without…….A-Rod.
What an inning…I hate Baltimore.
Well the defense isn’t exactly helping out either. A-Rod can’t come back soon enough.
muther of mo
put in pena
Could this game be going any worse????
Yes, way worse.
very much so…
CC could get injured…..
The Yankees could be shut out….
Gardner could be 0-2….
Jeter could have an error….
Damon could not be raking….
I could go on if you’d like.
It’s the first game guys.
They could be losing 30-3.
lets hope our offense can finally get some runs
A base hit right at the thrid baseman. Interesting.
Man…tough day for Handsome Cody. Here’s hoping it’s just Opening Day jitters.
How many people think we lose this game today????
[X]
Whatever, no biggie. Win the next two.
great D this inning.
Is this game out of hand?
So how many columns are going to come out tomorrow that are going to upset us?
How many are a gazillion?
Let’s hope CC can handle the coming onslaught! :-/
it is out of hand, mike.
Another run and it’s probably game over..
Joahan beat a weak team? Ok. CC is getting spanked by a weak team.LOL.
The orioles have a good offense.
Dude nobody’s gonna bite, just chill.
Dude, why would you come where you’re not wanted just to disrupt people? We don’t come to your place of business and knock the dick out of your mouth, do we?
(Sorry Pat, couldn’t help myself.)
http://i435.photobucket.com/al.....tton-1.jpg
I effing bet on the Yankees today. ;_;
Yeah there goes my 4 game winning streak in ESPN.com’s Beat the Streak.
This game is far from over people. Just need to stop the bleeding immediately. Oh, and can we put in Swisher now?
I agree it is far from over, but lets hope this doesnt get worse
Well … this long half-inning could put a crimp on Guthrie’s groove.
Well this is why they play 162
I did a draft last night in The Show (using the Yankees) lost 1st game 14-10 (with Roy Halladay starting for me) then up 4-1 in the 7th inning in Game 2 Brad Ziegler gives up a grand slam to Aramis Ramirez and I go on to lose 6-5.
The real life Yankees are just imitating my fake Yankees.
Girardi puts way too much emphasis on lefty-righty matchups (see last year automatic Giambi platoon)- Walking Ty Wiggington to face Luke Scott, Really? Really?
I’m thinking about a new use for my pitchfork, to say the least.
It was more about putting the force back on.
Exactly, and Scott was owned by lefties last year.
It was to set up the DP.
Gotcha, my bad. Its hard following on gameday.
doh, stupid job!!
Where are the first pitch strikes? And as a fast note the Gameday gun has him at 93 on his fastball. So please.
He looked tremendously nervous.
TAKE HIM OUT!
Don’t punch anything CC.
I don’t like how CC catches the ball with his bare hand.
Ohhh, walking in a run. This is getting close to a nightmare scenario.
Let’s just throw four sliders in a row to LUKE EFFING SCOTT
Well, he didn’t have any fastball command today…
Only pitch he had command of.
So throw one over for a strike. Don’t go to the same spot with the same pitch 4 times and expect different results.
At least we’re giving Guthrie lots of time to cool off.
I like the optimism.. Albie comes in and gets us out of this inning, we chip away with a run or two in the 6th, hold them and then attack and reclaim the lead in the 7th or 8th
Not exactly the DP we were envisioning, but it still works. We’re within striking distance.
Not the debut I was hoping for, but that said, it’s a very long season.
Hopefully they can knock around Guthrie a bit and get into that bullpen.
6 straight sliders…can’t get the dude out…well. it’s one game. He’ll be better next time around.
Argh ok he’s screwed up its time to pull him when a pitcher issues a walk after an intentional walk, then he’s fried.
Hopefully he’ll do better next time around.
Notorious slow starter. He’s probably completely out of shape, I’m guessing.
Shit!!!! I just remembered I benched Jeremy Guthrie this week in one of my fantasy teams!!!!
Don’t worry there’s still lots of time for him to implode.
That is a good thing, you watch.
Pathetic.
They just pitch to Luke Scott like he was Barry Bonds..
My heart just skipped a beat there.
Hey we all saw the Unit go out there and blow away the sox in game 1 of ’05 and look how that turned out… its game numero uno… lets give it a few weeks.
shouldn’t this be coke’s spot…especially starting with a lefty?
That answer enough for ya?
yes, yes it did. girardi made a big mistake!
. the grand slam would’ve been pretty hilarious.
There it is GRIT!!!!
THE GRITSTER
gardener!!
FUCKIN GRITNER BITCHESSSSSSSSSSS
GRIT GRIT GRIT!!
Melky who?
thank mo for jorge
Booya. Now score some fucking runs.
Chooch!!!
Another gritgasm. Multiple gritgasm.
Classic 8-8-2 DP
if he’s healthy he’ll be fine. if he isnt… then we’re fucked lol for many years lol cc had a rib cage to start 06 then went on to win the cy young.
That’s crazy, I have a rib cage, too.
Seriously. He got killed in his first four starts last year, then was He-Man the rest of the year.
Woman Hater.
Beautiful throw by Gardner.
nice. people are going to test the grit until they learn. don’t mess with grit or you’ll get the grit
IETC very much.
Albaladejo>>>>Sabathia
He’ll be fine. Lets see 8 or 10 starts before we start formulating a negative opinion of him. Everybody has days with control issues.
In other news, Grit Gritner with an accurate throw from the outfield. He’s had a nice game.
Hip Hip
GONE!!!!!!!
Hip Hip!!
HAHAHA JOPO
Good to have you back, Georgie!
Guess Posada does have some power post shoulder surgery
Don’t call it a comeback, we’ve been here for years.
Jorge said knock you out!
PO-PO-PO-SSSSSADA!
HIP HIP JORGE!
hahaha ghost tag
NICE!
How about 5 more of those?!
OMG small ball robbies walking WTF is going on.
I want to see Cody come around third and jump over a catcher like W. Snipes. He’s got the ups.
damn it…wasn’t supposed to be there.
It’ll happen.
Cano walks!!
Cano…walked?
He must’ve been standing next to Nick Swisher.
It is contagious!
Over/Under: 5.5 hyperbolic articles on CC’s awful outing.
Sucka got no juice
Over.
Sherman, Wallace, Stark, Gammons, Law, WasWatching guy, and maybe Mikey F will say something.
Cano walks on Opening Day!!
damn fan
Heh took Cano 10 games to get a BB last year
Okay maybe I was wrong about Xman
That was a big hit. lets capitalize!
Odd to see Cano actually taking pitches.
Nice rip Nady…
Nick who?!
Swisher. He’ll be the starting RF by June at the latest.
He will be playing 3rd tomorrow.
I mean the next game.
Cody Ransom … ugh.
Bring back Berroa.
I WANT A ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDD
Our savior is up to bat!
See … why not PH Swisher there? You need to get that run in.
Come on Grit.. make em work!
To imagine some people thought the Yankees would be better off with Ranson playing 3rd.
wats happnin cappin
I want to see Cody come around third and jump over a catcher like W. Snipes. He’s got the ups. (put it as a comment on a comment above…stupid)
This is more of the same from the Yankees offense, runner on 2nd with no outs and they can’t get the run home, terrible. I don’t think they have a hit with RISP today..
Dammit nady
dammit…sorry, keep happening
Gurhrie’s location is faltering, this inning isnt over yet.
Well that was a base knock against a normal SS.
It was a base knock..
Damnit Nady
WTF
Fucking Jackass. Okay, now u can bring in swish
X makes me sigh.
You suck Nady.
I take it back, it’s Thompson’s fault for sending him.
Bring back Bobby Meacham!!!!
bench nady now, bring in swish
lol… heady play Nady
Swish wouldn’t have done that…
Nice hustle, X.
Great heads up play by Nady..
Really unexcuseable on a 10 hopper. Jeter gets them knocked down before the outfield all the time.
As bad as a play that was… do any of you really believe Swisher is the answer in RF?
yepp. 30 hr’s gun for an arm 360+obp
Where were you third base coach?
Nice base running. How much is the payroll ???
It is going to be a long year boys. The Yankees are fat “CC”, old and overpaid.
why are you here? need to take out your frustration form the past few years?
Don’t feed the trolls. Ignore him and he’ll go away. Like the Mets in late September.
That is o so true. I see the light.
Can you just boot him? I’m sure you don’t like doing that kind of thing, but he’s clearly not here to try to participate in any sort of intelligent discourse.
Yeah, but that’s not right. He didn’t break any of the commenting guidelines. We can’t boot him just because he’s pissing us off.
(Puts lawyer hat on)
Commenting on a blog with the sole purpose of pissing people off could certainly be called “harassment,” which is prohibited by RAB Commenting Guideline #2.
This is not someone who is coming here to chat and having a disagreement with other commenters. His sole intent is to harass.
Love the bombastic reactions…keep them coming
Haha nothing better to do then troll a yankee game thread?? Sweet.
How much is the payroll ???
Well, Cashman was planning on signing Redding, Hernandez, Garcia, and Perez in an effort to keep the payroll down. Then, he realized they suck.
Who’s your 5th starter again? Thought so.
X marks the spot where I hulk smash you in the face.
wouldn’t you bench him if you were a manager? or do you just lay down cause you don’t wanna get injured in a run down? when i was in little league i’m sure i would have been benched if i did what nady just did (and i wanted nady over swish)
Yeesh … Marlins have hit 4 homeruns today.
One was inside the park, too.
Hanley had a grandslam too!
Hanley’s slam was monsterous.
Bonifacio is 4-for-4 with four runs scored, three steals and an inside the park homer.
Brian Roberts and Adam Jones have to be career .800 hitters against the Yankees.
I’m just messin around with your guys. I am happy though that the Mets have Johan and not some fat tub of goo like CC. I’m just sayin.
I hear the banhammer whirling in the distance.
Enjoy the choking!!
http://www.theonion.com/conten.....ers_in_one
sorry meant to add that to the above post
Albie ftw
Alby doing his best Pettitte
Giambi throws that ball into left field
I was a Swisher advocate too. And I’ll look past the baserunning mistake by Nady. But run it out man. Don’t just stand there like you have some sense of entitlement. Swisher would have ran. Nice to see Brian Roberts hustle when he gets picked off.
yea, and if it was Thompson’s fault he woulda ran all the way home not stop half way and try to make it back.
A pick off !!! That will make the highlight reel !!! Yeah baby !!!
Adam Jones should be wearing a Mariners uniform dammit!
Thats what I was thinking. F you Bavasi for that horrible horrible trade.
Wow, I am glad I added Emilio Bonifacio in RAB fantasy before the game. 4-4, 4R, 1HR, 2 RBIs, 3 SB. Damn.
You beat me too it by about 15 minutes.
Ha, Jamal G. probably pissed too since he is facing me.
There he his…come get some COKE.
Nady just seems lazy to me. doesn’t look like he gives it his all on fly balls and now the non-run down move. just in love with this guy
did ya ever suck ** for coke?
oh crap. It was suppose to be weed. Which ruins my joke.
Me=fail
oops not in love is what I meant
I’ll have a coke. -boondock.
Even though Ransom made that last play, I still felt my anger towards him rising… is this normal?
i think we need some runs. how bout it..runs?
Have a Coke and a smile
Johnny Damon came to play.
way to start it off Johnny..
I love Chris Ray.
I love him too. Nasty stuff, just like to give up the homers …
it’s a ballgame
‘Sui
naysayers say what?
MATS!!!
GoDzILLA!!!!
Holy Shit I fucking love it. Wheres met boy
Bombs a way!!! asian persuasion
Should have traded Matsui when they had a chance.
He has no knees!!!11!!
I FUCKEING BENCHED MATSUI IN FANTASY!
Sui!
GODZILLA!!!!!!
Matsui going to be Uuugggge this year!1
I think so too. 20+ 100 100
There goes Tokyo.
I really hope coke comes out for the 7th.
Dave Trembley remembering why he hates life…
In game day, 2 of those 4 balls to Po were strikes. Is this ump a re-re or is game day off?
Oh Firestone, ICWUDT.
I love Matsui.
Swish hit for Ransom this time around the order?
If a RHP is on the mound I would hope so.
Nice to see Posada still has his power/patience combo still in tact.
Come on Robbie!
If Joe thinks Pena can play third. He might save Swish to hit for gritner later.
Whoops that was suppose to be a reply to A.D
Gritner is a better hitter than Ransom
Yea but I said that would apply if Pena can’t play third…
Cano is not a free swinger, per Joe Morgan.
He swings for cash baby.
I love me some Robbie with patience
Zaun looks older than Tremblay.
Catcher are like porn stars. They age in dog years.
Swisher better hit for Ransom now with a RHP coming in.
So in this grand year of 2009 who gets pulled for a defensive replacement first, Posada or Jeter?
Kinda sucks we all know the answer is neither when we have arguably 2 of the best defenders in the league at those positions.
On our bench.
Jeez, X.
uh, not as much against righties.
not supposed to be her.damn
Realistically in this game they’re going to need to keep all the bats in the lineup until the end.
Sarfate is in your hands.
seriously nady is 0-5 vs sarfarte with 4 k’s
If the O’s had Joba in the pen……
WTF, a yesnetwork.com commercial and no mention of RAB!
Nady is going to die
Of course.
…
Put in teh Swish!
Okay so Nady still sucks.
why was nady hitting there? why didn’t they hit swish?
umm because nady is a good hitter.
not so much against righties, except last year.
You don’t pinch hit for your starting Rf when cody ransom and brett gardner are playing. Especially when you named the RF as your starter over said pinch hitter. What kind of message does that send?
.268 career in the AL. (only60 games but I’ll take any chance I can to bash the Xgirl.)
now 0-6 with 4k’s and a dp
Nady doing his best Jeter
Nick Swisher.
Nady is killing me here.
I’m glad Nady is the starting RF!! He fits well with the Yankees and their gameplan of stranding runners that reach 2nd or 3rd base.
Boy, Xavier Nady sure looks like he’d fit right in with those Dynasty Yankees.
NOT.
you dont pinch hit for nady because you need swisher to hit for ransom. If you’re gonna pinch hit for one of them you PH for ransom.
I think Nady just moved above Mauer on my list of most hated ballplayers.
So what r the Yankees so far today with runners in scoring position?? A Damon Sac fly and Jeter’s infield hit which didnt turn into a run thanks to Nady pulling a boner. Still assumin Yanks win this game though….
Shouldve hit Melky for Nady!!!!
Nick Swisher ftw! To think I used to hate him.
It takes some kind of special talent to walk Melvin Mora.
yeah, especially from a guy who was 15:1 w/k ratio in spring. but he did it on purpose to get that double play.
Heh Coke almost hurt his own cause if he did field that ball.
Aubrey is a girls name!
maybe tex should do mroe than faux walk and bunt groundouts?
This ump is pathetic btw.
I’m liking Coke.
I’m liking Coke.
People, Pena has played 0 professional games at third. Why does everyone want to ph for Code man.
Cause, it helps the team win the game.
because thats why he’s there… you gonna stick ransom and his 6 pro games at third? its moot. pena will be fine.
Me = fail
Yes Swish is up
Good going Coke, yo!
Coke just keeps cruising from his debut last year.
Swisher was stretching out, we may see him here to leadoff
now PH ransom with swish. takea chance at tying it with one swing.
Phil Coke should get a drink named after him.
Phil Coke should have a drug named after him.
It’s a hell of a pitcher.
Swisher better lead off this inning.
Have another Coke and a smile
Phil Coke and Brian Bruney will shut up B-Jobbers.
No, the B-Jobbers will find fault somehow. Only Joba will be good enough for their 8th inning.
Haha I flip over to seinfeld real quick and who do I see? Young Jetes and Bernie
yeah swish
the swish man
Swish is the man yo!
SWISHER!!!!!
there ya go.
SWISH!!
Nice double
Nick Swisher is the fucking man
Girardi is a genius.
Fucking amazing, isn’t it? Go Swish.
Nady’s job is now gone.
wow. ramiro pena is really cute.
Something tells me your a guy with giselle as your username…
damn, you’re good.
Blah, wouldve let Gardner hit away there.
Grit do it
The Grister small ballin
Can we have spill over thread v.2?
Jeter=Bust
damn jeet
Why am I not surprised.
Well, at least Derek didn’t hit into a double play.
Please Tex!
Fucking retarded, why bunt? Here, have a free out. I have zero confidence in their ability to score this run.
Brett Gardner.
If it was almost anyone else in the lineup, I’d agree.
small ball. the way of the future.
I was going to say the exact same thing. I have always hated that. I can’t see any logic in giving up an out.
Yup. I already posted as soon as he bunted I didnt like that play.
He shouldve tried to drag bunt instead of just laying it down there and trying to get him over.
Could we ask for anything more?
Come on Tex, shut these bitches up!!
teixeira doesn’t do small ball.
bomb…please.
