Spring Training Countdown
Just 5 days 'til pitchers and catchers report.Banner Design By
No, I don’t want the Phillies pen to get quality innings. I want them to put up a 36 ERA in 3 innings.
did you see that I think Arod just did a jig
new thread already? The last one wasn’t slowing down yet.
Eh, true. It’s a force of habit, once we get to 300 comments I usually pull the trigger on a new thread. Today’s different since so many people are out BBQing and shit. Lesson learned.
its fine having to scroll past 300+ posts gets annoying if you leave the forum
C’mon Grit
Durbin is underwhelming.
Does he not remind you of Pavano? He’s got that same little hesitation when he drops and drives in his delivery.
Grit!
jacoby gets a triple there
Only if he can get on base more often like this.
Gardner wants to steal
Hit and run with Jetes?
Damn, Giants shopping Cain.
Word is Cain for Uggle is in the works. For the Giants sake, I hope they get more.
do you mean uggla?
Uggla is all???!
That’d be a steal.
Yeah, Uggla. My bad on the typo.
Why would the Giants do this?!
He’s making 13m total from 09-11, crazy to trade him
Durbin throw one in the stands please!
Gardner needs to redeem himself.
come on derek!
Wakefield imploding…again.
The Mets can’t hit knuckleballers. Even R.A. Dickey shut them out last year.
Man… fuckin damn..
bad jump
Horrible jump by Gardner.
stolen bases are stupid fucking plays
Not for a high percentage base stealer like Gardner (17 SB, 2 CS in his big league career). Tip your hat to Ruiz, he made a great throw.
but why even take the chance with jeter/damon/tex coming up?
I would like top proclaim dkidd as the smartest commenter on this site, at least today. Who do I see about filing the paperwork?
If that steal was called by Girardi, he’s a fuggin idiot.
big risk big reward
19 sb, 3 cs- thats a big risk?
so given last two (pena melky), wanna retract that?
ruiz is getting me pissed
You and me both.
Gardner can be caught stealing?
why try to steal? no confidence in jeter/damon/tex/arod?
well he is fast but I guess not so smart as a base-runner
Sweet! Let’s make snap judgments about someone’s skill as a baserunner based on one caught stealing on an absolutely perfect throw from the catcher!
questioning giardi, not gardner
chad durbin is not cole hamels
I wasn’t killing you on that comment, just John
why does jose reyes steal? no confidence in Beltran/Wright/Delgado?
And why does Ellsbury steal, no faith in Ortiz…………oh.
gardner steals because an uncaring society has left him no other choice
+1
Ruiz pumped his fist after that he should be ashamed theres no room in baseball for that.
only if you are a Yankee
..and pump your fist while down 5 in the 3rd inning.
jacoby would have been safe, no really he would
And if he was called out twelve dumb sox would jump out of the dugout and scream and yell and be called gritty and intense.
Hopefully they can get Madsen/Lidge.
It sure is nice that the real post-Pujols Lidge seems to have returned…
that was really frustrating. top of the order, down by 1. no reason to take a chance
Hey maybe if you make the same comment phrased differently 4 times it will give it more credibility!
Damon-Teix-Arod in the 8th. I have faith.
you’re right. we’re winning this game!
Hell yeah
It’ll be Madson’s third day in a row too.
argg
I do not have a good feeling about Mayberry.
Is it bat that it’s gotten to the point where I’m disappointed if CC doesn’t pitch into the 8th? Oh crap, it is, huh?
until Bruney and Marte are healthy
Wow I thought he got him.
Youk crying again.
yep right onto the mass pike
maybe not my bad
and the replay saysssssssssssssssss
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
WOW
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what a rookie making his second big league start looks like against CC Sabathia.
…did Howard just steal??? That’s like Matsui stealing…
cervelli adding value
joba like fist pump
Bush league!!!!
Don’t like that fistpump. No room for that.
Okay good. Now get Mo up.
This CC signing might have been a good move by Cashman. Who would have thought this guy could have the potential to be our ace.
This is a cynical comment right?
It was a nice under the radar move, no?
Sabathia’s GO/AO today: 3/17
release him
if they are gonna get that run back this needs to be the inning.
or the next inning
yeah because they can’t hit Lidge
oh wait
We better hope to Mo that the Mets win so we don’t fall behind the BoSox.
It’s May 24th. I think we could make up that one game.
especially with our team finally putting it together and getting healthier
Howard doesn’t have a jack this series.
Non-bandbox?
I’ll take this everytime from CC. 8 IP 3 ER (should be 2 ER)is great.
Hahaha Youkilis. YOU SUCK!
Scott Eyre? Really?
Haha, not a homer for Youk.
what happened?
He hit a ball he thought was fair and went into Youk is a whiney bitch mode when the umps informed him otherwise. Umps got together, did the video replay thing and said it was foul. No homer for Youk.
I know this happened a couple innings a go but how strong do you have to be to shatter a bat and hit the ball 370 ft? Amazing.
must be on Roids
Andruw Jones did it in Atlanta when he was actually good
Brian Downing did once to and it was almost straight-away center. That was power.
About half as strong as you’d have to be to check your swing and break the bat, which is far more incredible in my humble opinion.
Wow they’re switching Tex to the left side were the fence is like 30 ft. away.
hey a yankees suck chant at fenway how original btw guys you’re LOSING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And it’s the Yankees fault.
I wish many was still in the Sox dugout to smack Youkilis. That dude never shuts up. Horseshit! Horseshit! STFU
Manny*
Hey atleast Melky comes to the plate in the 9th.
Only bad part now is that the bad part of the order is coming up after Cano and Cabrera.
Swisher’s chillin in the dugout.
Swish, perhaps. He would be good if we need a Sac fly. But he needs the full day off.
come on alex!
Hopefully A-Rod can get something going against a non-Hamels pitcher.
Ahhh. Three hard hit balls in the inning.
Melk will take care of business. He needs to get a tatoo of ITCOB.
Tim Redding = awesome
<.088 BABIP for Alex
it has to turn eventually
not veras!!!
Seeing Jose Veras enter this game feels about as good as in-his-prime Mike Tyson punching me in the crotch
nice trust…jk i feel similarly
He made it interesting, but I’m glad to eat my words
Do you think it would feel good in his non-prime?
Hm…good point, looks like he still has it in the trailer for The Hangover
Whoa, I’m following the game on the Internets. Did Veras seriously not walk the first batter?
Do you believe everything you read on the web?
That’s why I was asking for confirmation.
This is not the Jose Veras I once knew.
And now my computer is telling me that Veras struck out Utley looking!!! I really need to get my laptop fixed.
dangerous pitch right down the middle according to gamecast though
There are an obscene number of Phillies fans in the park. They are louder than the Yankees fans.
I bet if the Yanks score a couple runs in the bottom of the ninth, the Yankees fans will be louder.
Yea I was there yesterday…there were chants of lets go phillies. Of course, it made the ninth that much sweeter.
C’mon Jose!!!
Wow. What a line for Sabbathia that could get the loss. No walks, 4 strikeouts and only 3 runs (which could have easily been 2) in 8 complete innings. That’s a shame he can’t get a win
dUDE was that a changeup?
Great pitch.
Clearly a Ruiz triple is forthcoming.
Stupid Nick Green.
a called K for Veras? no way
and against Utley?
Why don’t I remember Veras ever throwing anything but a FB and Slider?
That has to frustrate a hitter… the ball looks like it is going to go so far outside it will hit the mascot only to break into the zone as a hittable pitch.
Veras = Tazmanian Devil of pitching
Cream Pie Face time for Hideki today. I’m sure he has many videos about that.
You think he’ll get a shot? May go to Swisher, no?
They’re going to pinch hit Swisher for Matsui? I don’t think so, Tim.
Hahah icwudt
you think it’s his first time receiving?
I hope so. But I’m sure he’s delivered plenty.
what about all the pockmarks…?
High heels.
gotcha
some melky magic in the ninth?
Damn you, Mets. You are who we thought you were.
We said that at some point yesterday and then they totally proved us wrong.
Cano double, Melky blast!
Part of me wants to believe they’re going to do it and another part says that this number of walkoffs is insane. Another part thinks that we need to get ahead and stay ahead because these 9th innings are turning me grey.
no you get half of your years lost back after a walk-off
wow jose veras is that you?
Filthy stuff by Veras.
Atlanta takes a 5-2 lead on Toronto. FWIW.
Cano gets on, Cabrera gets on.
does Girardi pinch hit for matsui to avoid the DP?
Does he pinch hit Pena who can bunt, Swish who could strike out, fly out, DP?
Curious of the baseball minds in here
It’s really sad but I don’t see how you could let Matsui bat. He’s been so clutch in the past, but he’s been stepping out worse than a 10 year old little leaguer.
alright now start a puuuuuuuuuuuujols puuuujjjjjjjoooooolllllllssss chant
Lets hope Leche doesnt get too geeked and try and go yard
Toronto down 6-2 in the 7th.
C’mon Yanks, let’s snag first.
Robbie! Robbie! Leche! Leche!
I was reading a Phillies blog yesterday and someone said “This lineup (Yankees) is full of guys I hate.” Arod, probably Tex and Jeter but who else is “hate-able”?
Putting on pinestripes automatically makes them hate-able to other fans
Leche, Robby, Damon
lidge fearful of walking the first batter again lays one in there and cano blasts it.
or pokes it up the middle for a leadoff single.
LECHE TIME!!!!!
come on leche!
oh melky have my babies!
Robbie try to steal? Nahh
Pinch run for Robbie?
Well, this is weird.
Girardi just went into TLR Mode
let him swing
walk off bunt
STOP BUNTING!!!
If this is a bunt someone needs to lose their job
This team really looks like they think they’re going to win this game. Whatever happens, that’s a pretty awesome frame of mind they’ve gotten into.
That’s true. I like that about this team.
And it looks like they know what they’re about! Leche!
Yess dude
there we go ruiz finally falters
The deception bunt
i love stolen bases!
This deserves a lol. LOL!
Do you hit him now? 1-1 with runner on 2nd no outs?
OMG THE STEAL SUCH A STUPID PLAY NOW A SINGLE SCORES A RUN DUMBBBBB
Bunt Melky here?
/Caray’d
I was kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What the shizzzzzz?
how are you not going to let melky try and get the win come on just pull the ball.
The tension builds…
STOP BUNTING!!!!
melkyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!
YEAH!!!!!!!
LECHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IETM
+1
Melky does that shit son!!!!!!!!!!1
MELKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s it. Melky for MVP.
The Melk Man doesn’t deliver on Sundays
/Pippen
Damn, he sucks!!!
MELKY CABRERA = MVP! MVP! MVP! MVP!
have my babies!!!!!
Melky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG! Goddamn Melky
Do they relieve Lidge, or do they let him try and force extras?
Melky > Papi
Gardner > Papi
Mummy > Papi
at this point that shouldn’t even need to be pointed out.
However, Cora > Melky > Papi
Cora’s a true professional, a player that wins championships.
MELKY!
Gammons/Phillips – Cabrera does it again. Another example of buying talent.
We paid a gamillion for Melky. Everyone knows that.
he he… NICE!
ZOMG!111! GIRARDI HAS TEH PLAN!
How good does CC feel now he doesn’t get a loss?
he’s a team player, it will be better if we win and it’ll still hurt if we lose and he’ll take the blame
Aysh
This is the guy we’ve all been waiting for!
It was written!
come on matsui
SOB!!!
Wang in the bullpen? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Wang???? Please win it here.
This dude just looks horrible.
Look at freakin’ Melky 2.0! No hack at the slider in the dirt, clutch RBI single to blow another Lidge save…why the hell not?
Matsui…
I see Girardi’s content with losing since Wang’s warming up.
Bad Matsui! Bad!
Pinch hit Swisher here.
Matsui’s weather knee must be acting up again, and paralyzing his arms. Somehow.
If we DFA Godzilla we gotta pay him?
THAT was a poor decisions, should have PH for Matsui. He is done and needs to be benched.
Cervelli’s been swinging a good bat.
Can’t complain about swish though.
This is insane. Melky is awesome! I love this return to late 90s greatness…we can win any game any time!
Matsui looks done.
He looks better than Ortiz…
I’ll take a walk here.
It almost seemed like Melky blew those bunts on purpose so he could tie it up. If true, I want to commend him for ignoring Girardi’s bullshit.
melky doing it all
They are really worried about Melky stealing here, huh?
Cmon Swish, base hit.
STEAL HOME YOU SONS OF BITCHES!!!
tomorrow’s headline: swish renders wang useless
or not
Melky doing it all with the SB, now all we need is a single.
steal home??
Chance for Gardner to redeem himself…
It’s your time, Grit.
WOWP!
That could have been done rather than wasting Matsui. He is just an auto 3-4 outs per game
Walk off for Gardner.
come on brett!
We don’t need too much Gardy.
Matsui and Swisher trying to outsuck each other.
Squeeze?
COME ON GGBG
I’m rooting for a walk off wild pitch here!
suicide squeeze
I hereby irrationally stake my already irrational love of Bret Gardner on the outcome of this at bat.
You’re fired.
I’m still holding on to my irrational love of GGBG
Drats. Let’s go Mo!
Jeter is just going to have to homer in the 10th. We’ll see if AJ has balls then.
That would be the photo of the year. If AJ doesn’t he loses all credibility.
AJ has credibility?
what if it’s JoPo? I’d be scared as hell
of course its not possible today but just imagine
Free baseball!!!
Wow, Mo money time. Top of the order due up next inning for us.
FYI, I hate watching Cash.
at least Melky tied it..we have the top of the order up next lets hope Wang can hold it
Anyone else feeling A-Rod walkoff?
I’m hoping for a Jeter lead-off job, myself.
I want Jeter to go yard and be done with this.
So, is Wang pitching the 10th, or is it Mo?
Better be Mo. I am not sure if Wang works yet.
Mo.
why was wang throwing in the pen?
My cardiologist would like a word with the Yankees.
and kevin cash is a blackhole i hate watching him.
I wonder who the Phils will bring out.
Why take out Swisher and not do a double-switch to remove Gardner?
A) Damon-Gardner-Melky is a better defense than Damon-Melky-Swisher, I think
B) Gardner’s spot will hopefully not get another at-bat
A) Thought about that, too, but it’s not much better.
B) That’s not necessarily a good thing.
If they get to the 11th, and Gardner’s spot comes up, then I’ll be annoyed. (He can’t come up in the 10th, since in a tie game, the Yankees would win before he comes up in the 10th)
Wouldn’t your annoyance be quelled if Melky makes a good play out in right? It’s all relative…
I’m not annoyed, just questioning the move.
We’ll see. Hopefully it doesn’t matter.
Why would you do that?
Because you have to remove one to get Cash into the game. And I’d rather have Swish than Gardner.
Ahh, true. I just disagree, I’d definitely rather Gardner than Swish out there.
Not a easy decisison in any way. Just wanted to throw it out there for discussion.
I know it’s irrational but Mo against Ibanez and Howard in a tie game scares me.
Howard scares me, period.
Gotta have faith in Mo.
more terrible home plate umpiring today
I was hoping to catch the end of the Indy 500 but that’s not going to happen now.
no es importante
Sólo retrasa el reloj de coches de carreras
Great fucking call Kay.
hate jason werth
Mo just needs to get him so I can relax a little.
He’s werthless.
wakka wakka.
he has no werth, cotton
Top of the order, get to work please.
I hope Alf is up in the pen in case we goto the 11th.
so if jeter hits a walk-off, does he get pie?
Putang pie.
Jeter always gets the pie, but he doesn’t always pay for their parking.
Thank you Mo. Lets win it now because the thought of Wang or Tomko in the 11th scares the shit out of me.
If it were to get to the 11th, they’d probably stick with Mo, no?
Hopefully the top of the order makes this an exercise in hypotheticals.
Whew! Gamecast gave me a heart attack after the the score started flashing red, which it does when a run scores, for no reason.
Jeter gets on, Damon gets him over, Teix hits a walk-off.
Now get to it, team!
Sounds like a plan.
Condrey is eminently hittable. Groundball guy, but eminently hittable.
If jeet hits a walk off hr…you think AJ will give him the pie to the face???
No, I think he will slap him across the face with his Hog.
come on johnny
NO BUNTING!!!
This game aint going to the 11th.
good job Jetes
Tex bunt!!!! LOL
Here we go. Tex or A-Rod FTW
Oh boy..
tex will try to lay down a bunt and inadvertently hit an upper deck home run
Nice, time to walk this one off.
Two down, one to go.
ok damon
should have double stole, homies
And Ortiz finished up his 0 for 5 game.
Followed by By Youkilis saying “Replay That!”
And in other news: After the rain it was wet outside.
would someone just steal home? It’s teh bandbox!!!
shit Tex
Can we call for the bunt now?
Al time.
Fuck. Shouldve walked pitch before damnit.
Dang it, Teix, putting a wrinkle in my master plan!
Ah shit.
ARod’s PR people should tell him to get this AB song changed.
have to walk him
the otro FTW
I’m kind of confident in Ramiro here.
awwww chickens
It’s up to Ramiro Pena. I can see it happening.
Should you suicide squeeze?
I guess they were worried Rollins was going to tip A-Rod.
IETC
bottom of the order to top of the order: Walkoffs ur doin it rong.
Jeter should steal home and be done with it.
that’s what I’m saying
NIIIce walkup song ramiro
pena walks? melky wins it
If I was Ramiro Pena, I would be insulted. They actually just walked A-Rod to get to him.
F*k.
Aw, Ramiro
That shift is really annoying
Alf or Mo please?
What a pathetic job by the Yankees.
Oh jeez, is Wang coming on now?
Worse: it’s Tomko.
I actually have more faith in him than Wang right now.
If I recall correctly, one of the beat writers had a note that said Wang is not available to pitch until Tuesday, he’s probably just having a bullpen session to get ready for Tuesday.
damn that DP was killer
Ugh.
I wanna ask why Jeter didn’t steal 3rd in Teixeira’s AB – 3B seemed OPEN (and both runners moving would have taken away the shift).
Kay-”The NY Yankees are the deli down the block, there’s a different hero every day”
This is why Michael Kay makes the big bucks. Creative genius like this.
Where is Alf!!!
He’s getting some time off. He pitched long outings in back to back games.
Yeah I know but Girardi said he only needed two days off after the 3.1 the other day.
Tomko?
*$&^Q@$
And you want. . . . ?
Alf!
Not available.
Say’s who?
Everyone paying attention.
He pitched 2 innings on the 20th and 3 1/3 on the 21st. That’s 5 1/3 innings, which is the equivalent of making a start. Today is the 24th. You won’t see him for another few days.
Except the manager said he needed two days off after the 3.1.
He was obviously wrong when he said that. Do you think if he was available he would rather pitch Tomko?
I don’t try to figure out some of his decisions to be honest..
A pony? World peace?
Mariano.
Thanks for the bailout, kid.
‘Shew, it’s just the bottom of the order.’
‘SHIT, that’s Chase Utley!’
That was a pitch around, I imagine? Of course Carlos Ruiz has been kiling us the last couple days.
Yeah, that was just my reaction, lol.
utley is scary
I can live with walking Chutley. Just get Ruiz plz.
Chan Ho Parking Lot coming in next inning.
kam fong as chan ho
Lucky that pitch was outside. It hung up for a while.
C’mon Tomms
C’mon Brett.
Fuck now he’s gotta be sittin dead red
Ruiz really pisses me off. I’ll be glad to see him go
How is this horseshit backup catcher killing the Yankees?
he’s actually a fairly decent catcher.
but that’s the game, folks.
He slugged .300 last year.
Fuck. I could deal with a solo shut to Utley over this shit.
Well. I think our only hope now is Melky it followed by Matsui HR. Cash coming up makes me sick
And the odds of Matsui figuring it out…
It’s gotta be a Melky HR to tie it. I don’t see these three doing anything else.
damnit Tomko
BoSox are crushing the Mutts, and the Jays already lost.
Win today and we share 1st place with Boston.
And a loss moves us from 2nd place to 3rd place.
Yupp, plus Tampa is in extra innings.
Siiiiiiiiiiiiigh.
Walks always seem to come back to haunt you.
Well, time to do this.
New thread for good luck? It has worked before…
Nah, this game is almost over.
how funny would it be if girardi pinch hit for cash?
Melkman, Matsui, Cash and Gardner coming up next inning, not looking good.
One run isn’t impossible but man the Yankees need to make a move for a relief pitcher. They can’t survive all season with Rivera and hope for a walk off hit.
?
We have Bruney and Coke. We’re waiting on Melancon/Robertson to come up. And we’re going to have to hope Marte gets better.
Shouldn’t have to wait for them to come up…. they should be here already.
The only way I see us winning is a Melky walkoff HR.
Wish we had Shelly right about now.
Free Robertson…and Melancon…
I’m almost OK with the loss, but I hope this spells the end of Tomko in favor of Robertson or Melancon.
Agreed. Never liked Tomko and since Wang is our “long man” I really don’t want to see him anymore.
13 hits and 3 runs. Ugh.
Well, that’s the ballgame.
oh noooo
If we tie it up, is there anybody available besides Tomko?
I don’t think Melky is going to get another AB to walk off with, sir.
5 for his last 31, and Girardi would rather pinch hit for Cervelli than Matsui.
I didn’t get that either..
fuck
Dammit Matsui. He owed us a HR after taking 2 hittable pitches and then striking out last AB
And Kevin Cash . . .
Is it me or has Matsui sucked ever since he got married?
Looks like the Yanks don’t feel like playing “Comeback” anymore.
And it comes down to Cash.
I would like to remind the hysterics among us that last year at this time we were dead last in the Al East and 5.5 games out of first (held by Boston).
Eh, I’m not worried about the TEAM, but the GAME was disappointing.
Still should have won this game.
Tal vez si Kevin tomó el consolador de su trasero le golpeó el mejor béisbol.
Dammit Tomko.
how does cash have a higher AVG than OBP on gamecast?
It’s possible because sac-flys and sac-bunts reduce your OBP.
Funny, of all the comeback games, this was the one that looked like it was going to fall right into place. Baseball is a fickle bitch, ay?
I’m sad
Awww come on sweetie. Cheer up, its a holiday weekend.
They’ll get back on track tomorrow with Phil going in Texas. This time, he’ll FINISH the no hitter!
cant say we didn’t have our chances…that tex DP was killer
as was Gardner’s OF gaffe
Especially since Tex swung at ball four
Poor hitting in the 9th and 10th but Girardi should have left Cervelli in instead was leaving Matsui. Waste of a spot in the line up.
Cash = Matsui = 6-8 outs every time they play.. Why purposely shorten the game for your team?
Dont judge a guy at the bottom of a slump. Matsui was excellent in April, and if Girardi would have let Cervelli hit and PH for MAtsui, I would have been very upset. Cervelli is a .260 minor league hitter with no power.
Can’t wait to send Cash on his way.. Hurry up JoPo/Mo.
tomko is crap.
He was actually spotting his FB well. Cash called for back to back sliders. Neither of which was particularly good.
Can’t believe that runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs and our two best hitters coming up that we couldn’t get a run in…
Also, the Tomko call will leave me forever questioning Girardi’s bullpen management…
Who should he have gone to?
you win some ,you lose some (thanks to a weak bench(for now) and injured bullpen (though MO and Veras did their job)
Oh well, still a great homestand.
Looking forward to watching Sir Phillip of Hughes tomorrow night.
yankees need Nady soon. swisher and matsui are not producing.
Some bench help would be nice. You really notice the lack of depth in extra inning games.
But Posada will be back soon, as will Nady. That’s two BIG upgrades right there.
Yeah I am looking forward to Nady’s return as well. Tough loss, but I’ll take 8-2 on any 10 game homestand. The Yanks may be in 3rd, but they are tied with the Sox in the loss column. On to Texas!
Yanks have lost one more game than the Sox
Ah, I was going by the standing they showed on NESN just now, must not have been up to date.
this series almost makes me want to root for the mets
the phillies were as tough as advertised
Not really. Yankees have no bottom of the order hitting until Posada and to some extent Nady get back. Then you have a bench and can move guys around.
That game was so on a boat for the most part. Brett Tomko, on the other hand, was at Kinko’s straight flippin’ copies.
Regardless, the Stadium was just as beautiful the second time around!
