Game 27 Spillover Thread IV

May 6, 2009 by Mike Axisa 256 Comments

Yet another rally squandered by the bottom of the lineup. Good thing they’re carrying that 13th pitcher.

ughh. Girardi why no Mo?
dkidd

8th inning was just a warm-up

tex’s actual “signature moment” coming up
pat

Whateva, just sets up Tex to be the hero again.
- Accent Shallow
  
  Despite Tex putting the Yankees back in the game, you know he’ll get booed if he makes an out.
  - tim randle
    
    what has he done for me late-ly???
DP

Aye carumba.
Accent Shallow

On the plus side, at least it’s Jeter/Damon/Tex coming up.
JobaWockeeZ

And the doubters come back. Really go away.
- DP
  
  Haha does quoting Bart Simpson make me a doubter?
Jose

I knew this was going to happen…
Spaceman.Spiff

Walkoff homerun by Robbie Cano. You heard it here first.
Ivan

Im not mad at coke, Im mad that in the bot of the 9th, yanks had no legit PH for Molina or Pena.
- daneptizl
  
  Yeah… Duncan woulda gotten that bitch done.
- V
  
  Except for the fact that PENA WAS SAFE, I understand.
dkidd

we can hit percival

Lets go! Please.
V

Percival’s on two of my fantasy teams.

Please kick his ass.
Drew

Okay, this is far from over, C’mon Jetes.
BTW, can a reliever mentally prepare for extra innings?
Pete

Who’s left for the Rays after Percival?
- http://www.riveraveblues.com Mike Axisa
  
  I think Lance Cormier.
  - tim randle
    
    and nick swisher.
http://actyankee.blogspot.com Matt ACTY

At least one run is possible off of Percival.
http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/00mwbIM15ofMv/340x.jpg Mike Pop

Jeter, please get on.
Matt-Pitt

I understand Jeter’s approach but it would be nice if he can just turn on one for a double in the left center gap or down the line. Just seems to be really late on everything.
- Pete
  
  yes, late indeed.
Accent Shallow

Michael Kay shutting the door on the “Price to the bullpen” non-debate.
- JobaWockeeZ
  
  Funny how our fans go ballistic over Joba to the pen. If he never pitched the 8th we’d never be hearing any B-Jobbers.
  - Jose
    
    It isn’t the same. Joba has proven he is a gamer for the 8th inning. That is all he can handle, he can’t be a starter.
    - Spaceman.Spiff
      
      Wow, you are everything I hate in a Yankee fan.
    - pat
      
      Youre not even that good of a troll, I’ve seen way better than you, you’re waaay too obvious.
      - Jose
        
        Not trolling. I’m just worried about injury for Joba. I don’t want him to go down the Kerry Wood starter path. I want him to be where he has proven himself.
        
        pat
        
        You have no clue what you are talking about if you’re bringing up Kerry Wood. NONE.
- Drew
  
  It is comical.
V

Wow. Pena and Molina were way better than Jeter today.
Matt-Pitt

Come on Damon, get on base man.
Ivan

Lets go Yankees.
Pete

Now get ready for the ‘Try to Jack it Out’ show starring Damon and Tex. :P
Accent Shallow

Derek,

Hit more line drives, please.
kingshaffy

this sucks
- JobaWockeeZ
  
  Funny how you comment when we’re losing again but when we’re hitting you say nothing. I’m not a Yankee fan? Pshh.
Jose

Too bad. We are gonna be under .500 for the first time in a while.
- JobaWockeeZ
  
  Go back to the Rays blog you were on when it was tie game. If we win I want to show this comment to you, you pathetic excuse for a bandwagoner.
C.Panella

Relax this team has shown 0 heart all year but one game against the angels this game is over u heard it HERE first…This is most frustrating team ive ever seen
- Ivan
  
  Okay…………..

  I heard it HERE first? So you’re the first d-bag I’ve had the pleasure of reading?
  - C.Panella
    
    D bag huh….Ur a tuff guy thru a comp right…fucking nerd get a life
    - Spaceman.Spiff
      
      Lol, UR a tuff guy too. I won’t call you a fuckin’ nerd though.
    - V
      
      HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
- Spaceman.Spiff
  
  Moar HEART! And I did not here it here first.
  - C.Panella
    
    Like i SAID 0 FUCKING heart this team find all the ways to blow games is great
    - Spaceman.Spiff
      
      Yes. Heart would’ve really saved us. Please go home, heart isn’t the reason they’re not performing, it’s poor hitting.
    - V
      
      Lay off the coke, d00d.

  so do it up and yes that could of been a 3b damn.
Drew

Fuck that would have been a triple. Damn!!!!!
BigBlueAL

God damn that wouldve been a triple.
- Pete
  
  would you settle for that? :)
Pete

I feel like I’m watching a game from 1966 the way the stands look behind the bases. Is Horace Clarke on deck?
- thurdonpaul
  
  i think he is
Ivan

DAMON!!!
Accent Shallow

I hate the rubber warning track.

I like Johnny Damon.
Matt-Pitt

Damnittt… Could’ve been a triple if it didn’t hop. Gettin’ some unlucky breaks man.

COME ON TEIX!! SHINE AGAIN MAN!!

johnny!!! take that doubters

WHY do warning tracks have to be rubberized?
BigBlueAL

Alright at least a Sac Fly will do.
http://www.riveraveblues.com Mike Axisa

Just need a fly ball Tex.
Ivan

Iight Tex, LETS GO!!!
tim randle

YES!!!
cjc

its only fair
V

Ok, I’ll take the WP.
ARX

Well, he’s at third now. But wtf is the field made of? Rubber?
MattG

See that? You can’t score on that WP. It all evens out!
pat

Hey, Michael we’re playing the Rays dickhead.
http://actyankee.blogspot.com Matt ACTY

Tex, I know you haven’t had teh powerz lately…but one of those warning track jobs would be nice. A homer would be awesome, too.
crapmaster general

all these losses are difficult to say the least, but I am trying to keep in mind that currently toronto is playing so well thanks to mediocre players like marco scutaro. seriously.

this team (when healthy) is built for the long haul, so stick with it.
- Pete
  
  Long haul?
  
  With all our injuries, how can you say that with a straight face?
  - crapmaster general
    
    so would you rather have a 100% healthy marco scutaro than a-rod coming back soon?
    
    I can say with a straight face that I believe in this team right now way more than I think toronto is for real.
Pete

Are you shitting me?

Teix fucking sucks. This Sac-fly bullshit is wearing thin.

  /overreaction on first statement.

    To be fair, it is fucking frustrating. He hits deep flies to the warning track with no one on, and shallow pops with man on 3rd.

1-2-3 would have been preferable to this.

GIRARDI SUCKS!!!! 100 PITCHERS NOBODY TO PINCH HIT FOR MOLINA AND PENA….YOU BULLPEN SUCKS SO YOU TAKE OUT YOUR BEST PITCHER WHO HASN’T PITCHED IN 7 DAYS?? REALLY??????

  Girardi doesn’t make roster decisions, you FAIL.

    who makes roster descions mother teresa??? the manager decides who comes up and who goes down. we don’t need 13 pitchers when half of them are sucking it up, bring up a hitter who can pinch hit

      No he doesnt you fucking idiot.

  He is too busy having the best record in baseball managing the Dodgers.

    Yep, all because of him.
    - BigBlueAL
      
      OK sure the division he is in helps. Actually it is the main reason cause my Mo the NL West is atrocious.

Seriously, is there ANYONE besides Mo that you can bank on?

You know what makes it worse? These effing YES commercials with all the World Series highlights & great moments.

Thanks for reminding us how frustrating the last 5 years have been YES, ‘preciate it…

I’m still waiting to see some fire from someone in the organization. Tell us you’re as mad as us! This is bullshit.
Andrew

Is it safe to say the culture of losing is now firmly in place here? We’re the Red Sox circa 1918-2003… it really is heartbreaking. Like Jim Rome said today – the Red Sox weren’t able to change their culture of losing overnight, and neither will we. We’re going to have to build from the ground up. And no, this is not a knee jerk reaction to the loss tonight. This is a cumulative analysis based on 5 years of worthless baseball.
- MattG
  
  “Like Rome said?” Is he still alive?
- http://eastrutherfordrant.com donttradecano
  
  I stopped reading where it said Like Jim Rome said.
- http://actyankee.blogspot.com Matt ACTY
  
  Culture of losing? Are you kidding me? The only reason anything like that would exist is because of your last sentence. The last five years of baseball have not been “worthless” for the Yankees. That is absolutely ridiculous. The only reason it feels like a “culture of losing” is because fans, myself included at times, always say “WORLD SERIES OR NOTHING!” It’s a stupid way of thinking.
  - Andrew
    
    World Series or nothing? Who said anything about that? Winning a playoff series would be nice, though. And yes, a culture of losing. It’s pretty evident, guys… take off the blinders. It sucks.
    - MattG
      
      “culture of losing” is what you decry after the fact, when you are too lazy to look for real answers.
    - http://actyankee.blogspot.com Matt ACTY
      
      When was the last time the Yankees had a record below .500? 1992. 1989-1992, if you want to call that a culture of losing, sure. What about this recent Yankee team, the last five years, makes it a “culture of losing”? What is so “evident” about it?
- V
  
  Ok, they have a culture of losing. They’re going to finish 80-82. There, I spoiled the season for you. Now you can find something else to do with your time.
  
  You’re welcome.
  - Andrew
    
    Your posts are worthless.
    - V
      
      Did you say that to a mirror?
      
      Your posts are ridiculous. You are a simpleton.

      What are yours? Yankees have some of the best talent in the majors and you say you need to start from scratch? Obviously, you overreact so fucking badly it’s pathetic. The Yankees did start over in a sense by getting good starters this offseason and younger players rather than over-the-hill players. Shut your keyboard up, please.
      
      Yes, I say taht with all due respect.

        You want to jump ship with one of the most talented teams in the majors. Yet, I have a lack of knowledge? When everyone hates on your point and calls you out, you are probably wrong. You’re a pathetic fan. I can’t stand fans like you.
        
        http://actyankee.blogspot.com Matt ACTY
        
        I’m still waiting for an explanation. How is a team that hasn’t had a losing record since I was five years old mired in a culture of losing? You want a real culture of losing, go be a Pirates fan.

  Culture of losing? Get a grip
MattG

Coke didn’t make a horrible pitch. Burnett was good. And the bottom of the Yankee order is horrific. One smidge of luck, and this is a win.

Come back off the ledge. Sooner or later, CC, AJ, Andy, Joba and Phil will each put two starts back to back, and that’s a 10 game winning streak.
Spaceman.Spiff

If this place ever gets a forums with registered posters, I pray that we have the option to block users because guys like C.Panella and Jose make me want to /wrists.

  Can’t we all just get along?
Bob Michaels

Girardi is guilty of over-managing, too many pitching changes, need another hitter on the bench.
BigBlueAL

OK Im calm now. Seriously though not complaining or anything, but why the fuck could Mo not pitch the 10th???? Also again when the hell will they call-up a bat and demote the 13th pitcher whoever that may be, and right now there are a boatload of pitchers who could be called the 13th on the staff.

Its not that Miranda or even Shelley Duncan is a great hitter, but at the least shit put some thought into the other dugout that a PH for Molina and whoever plays 3b til ARod is back is available. Right now this bottom of the lineup is a joke, especially when pitchers start pitching around Melky to get to the next 2 hitters.
ShawnT

Damn thiss loss is almost as bad as last night
This team has no clutch ability
Really makes u miss guys like Bernie…

  Fun fact:
  
  Bernie’s career OPS: .858
  Bernie’s career OPS in High Leverage situations: .858

    Fun fact for us, not so much for ShawnT
Thomas A. Anderson

And the code red button has been pushed in game 27 of the 09 season.

Gotta love it.
Bonos

You see the problem with bringing up Miranda is he doesn’t hit lefties at all. So what are the options? And by the way, Coke’s pitch was low and away. Pena just hit a good pitch. Sometimes you get the bear… Right in the middle of a rally, the rain came. Chit happens.
- MattG
  
  So bring up Miranda and Shelley, and actually use Rivera. For chrissakes, use your best players!
- BigBlueAL
  
  Yeah but Balfour was brought in to face Molina. Once he was brought in Miranda couldve pinch-hit and Balfour wouldve been forced to face him since a new pitcher must face at least 1 batter. Would Miranda have gotten a hit??? Probably not, but he has a 50X better chance than Molina facing a tough RHP.
Drew

That pitch to Teix was up over the middle at the belt. Are you kidding me Teix?
- Nady Nation
  
  Is it that hard to grasp that he got under it and popped it up? He didn’t get the job done, we get it. The game also would not have even gone to extras if it weren’t for him. That’s baseball.
  - Drew
    
    Yeah your right. I should jump up and down in jubilation. Give me a break dude. I don’t make you read my comments. I saw the replay on the post-game and said that. Get over it.
    - Drew
      
      you’re
    - Nady Nation
      
      When did I say you should jump up in jubilation? All I was saying was shit happens. Sounds like you’re the one that needs to “get over it.”
      - Drew
        
        The pitch was right over the middle. Had I noticed right after it happened, I would have said it then. I didn’t, I saw it on the post game so I decided to say something. Next time I post, I’ll ponder, “Would Nady Nation approve of this?” Would that make you happy?
        
        Nady Nation
        
        And I decided to comment on the comment that you made. Didn’t realize everything that you say must be agreed with. Calm down.
        
        Drew
        
        I AM CALM!! Ha jk. Aight man it’s all good. When I posted that I was still pissed from the outcome..
        
        Nady Nation

Under normal circumstances, Arod is at bat and Bruney pitches the 10th.
mtrico

This team is just so frustrating right now, I don’t know what to think anymore. I’m seeing a lot of the same stuff as last year, which is not good.
- http://actyankee.blogspot.com Matt ACTY
  
  You know, considering all the shit that went down last year, I’d say 89 wins is pretty good. IPK and Phranchise were awful in the beginning of the year, Rasner and Snacks Pontoon pitched THIRTY games for the team, Rodriguez, Posada, and Jeter all missed time with an injury, AND Wang/Joba got hurt while they were playing well.

To me, this game really falls on the offense. You can second guess the Coke move all you want, but it wasn’t a bad pitch, more like a good piece of hitting by Pena. With the tying run standing on 3rd and 1 out, you HAVE to drive in that run anyway you can. You can’t pop up shallowly on a 2-0 count as our number 3 hitter, you know what’s coming right there. We also need a deeper bench but Girardi doesn’t make those moves. The man is playing the cards he is dealt, no other choices. This loss is heart breaking, but whatever. Just gotta move on and go on a nice winning streak starting tomorrow. We get A-Rod back soon, our starting pitching has looked better. Things will come around.

  Nothing sucks more than watching your team lose and then still having to do work you’ve been procrastinating on all week.
  
  Oh yeah, I am in no rush to go to grad school.

This bring out Mo for the tenth, think a bit. It’s cold and miserable. He threw 18 pitches and he’s 38 years old. He hadn’t pitched in a while. It’s a long season. You’ve got three starters out, not counting Bruney. Things are still not too shabby. Yes, they should have hit Sonnenstine, but this team is so uptight you can see the sawdust sifting from the grips. The atmosphere of New York.

  The atmosphere of a Girardi managed team.

Too bad there isn’t a 0 choice in the fan confidence polls.

  Ifyou vote 0, i pity you.
  - BigBlueAL
    
    I honestly have voted 6 the last couple of weeks. Before that I was at 8. Next week since Arod should be back as long as they dont lose out this week Ill be back at 7.
    
    I think thats pretty fair!!!

You know this Girardi bashing is so much bull crap. His team won 89 games last year while the pitching fell apart. What, one of the top defensive catchers in the Majors is stupid, doesn’t know pitching? Where did this BP come from? All developed by Girardi. Where were Bruney and Coke last year. Some over the top is understandable but enough already.

Just a real, real, tough loss all around. Alot of frustration expressed, you could cut the tension in here with a knife!!!!! The be-damned trolls though, man it’s annoying.

“REBUILD!!!!!!!”

Like, seriously? Grow up you people. Whether you be 15 or 40. Some of you who are in their high 20’s, low 30’s saying this shit. I can’t believe it. Hard to believe. If some of you are within that age span. That’s right, you just got called out son! Shit makes me sick with some of these comments I see. But I got love for all those regulars! Except for that ass Nady Nation. Always calling out my Boys in Dallas.

Mike Pop OUT!

  Just fuckin’ around Pop. I agree with the sentiment of your post though. Winning streak of 5 starts tomorrow.

I know these guys “have to” say the right thing on post-game interviews, but it’s days like these I wish JoPo was there. I can always look for him to be as pissed as I am. Then again, he’s always pissed so I guess he’s not a good barometer.

  I would like Girardi to just curse and call individuals out.

I’m sad in the dangly parts :(

One more thing and then I will shut it down. Albaladejo, throws a mid nineties sinker. Do you know how rare that is and how valuable? He’s being developed , Joe is building up his confidence. After the All Star break he should be in full stride. Give this team a chance, there’s a lot of baseball left.
Drew

Manny is ridiculous. This MLB network thing is actually pretty sick. I didn’t think I’d watch nearly as much as I do, but with ESPN’s sucktitude I really have no other choice.

It doesn’t matter who we get on our team. Over the past 5 years we’ve had several subtractions and additions and nothing has really changed…we’ve basically just progressively gotten worse if anything. The only weird thing is I don’t know how spending nearly 300 million on starting pitching in the off season results in doing WORSE than our starting staff last year…yes it’s only May…but we’re REAL bad right now. The pitching, the hitting, everything. I don’t care if we’re 2nd, 4th, 6th in runs scored. That’s not the point. Nobody hits when it counts. We’ll score in one inning and then never again. And that’s been happening for quite some time now…not just this year. These new players come in and fit right in…like they’ve been here and know exactly what to do. Swisher stepped up and it was almost as though somebody grabbed him by the shoulder and said “whoa buddy, slow down a little bit…don’t you understand what we’re trying to do here?? take it easy…”

It’s just weird, strange…and I can’t explain it. But it has to end. Maybe it really is that management is so bad…nobody is happy and everybody has a big dark cloud hanging over their heads at all times…that and the fact that every reporter in the state is salivating…waiting for them to make one small wrong move…so they can write another book.

Looks like Scotty Proctor will miss the whole season. Boy, Joey T did a number on his arm.
