I think underrated was the wrong word? Maybe overlooked? I just feel like he doesn’t get talked about too much after all he has done throughout his career. I see where you are coming from though.
I just wonder what his production levels would really be if he wasn’t in Coors anymore. He has no power anymore, and without the huge gaps of Coors, I wonder how many fewer singles he’d be producing.
If he was hitting .270/.350/.390, that 16M contract would look like a Barry Zito-level disaster.
Singles hitter? Maybe now in his mid-30’s, but he averaged over 88 XBH during a 6-yr period from ages 25-31, including seasons of 103 & 105 XBH at ages 26 & 27.
I know he plays in Coors, but come on, that’s some serious power right there. We don’t see guys like Brad Hawpe and Garrett Atkins putting up those kinds of numbers.
Plus, Helton was Peyton Manning’s backup at Tennessee.
Man, if it wasn’t for that Tex miscue, it would have been bases loaded 1 out again for Cano but im not complaining, we got 4 runs and I couldn’t have asked for more after last inning
I want to see Joba pitch the 8th. Then I’ll look forward to watching Francesa. Hopefully that Alex guy he yelled at calls again to piss of Francesa to eventually say…
“ANDY PETTITTE IS A STARTING PITCHER!”

I was going to make fun of the guy for being banned, but I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that Ben has typed a similar message to me only to delete it out of the goodness of his heart
Whitey, I would sooner read a million comments from an intelligent adversary such as you than one more comment from that mouthbreathing knuckledragger Ironhorse ever again.
David Price did it last week. Joba should do it today. Gotta unleash these kids and let them throw 110/115 pitches at some point. Joba’s arm will not fall off.
Wow. Mitch Williams on the MLB Network just said, “Even if Joba can win me 20 games a year, I still want him as my 8th inning guy”. Is this guy a dolt or what?
I feel like most of the B-Jobbers are just trying to say that they were right in the event that the bullpen blows something big like a playoff game or a chance to get to the playoffs, but clearly Joba being a starter is the right move. Cashman can fix the bullpen, or the bullpen can simply right itself
my brother and father are Bjobbers…..sigh.
they just dont understand that when you start moving your gbest pitchers out into the bullpen…then you are left with the likes of Darrel Rasner and Sidney Ponson.
Stupid move by Pena, and all around bad baseball by the yanks today. Great pitching by Joba, but the yanks don’t even deserve to be winning this game right now
…really?
Bad baseball?
The only hing bad was unclutch hitting.
I do not care what Pena did, if he put it down that’s a hit and Melky goes to third with jeter up.
Seriously be a fan and root for your goddamn team.
“I do not care what Pena did, if he put it down that’s a hit and Melky goes to third with jeter up.
Seriously be a fan and root for your goddamn team.”
That’s a little much. Bunting in that situation, with 2 strikes, was not smart. Being a fan doesn’t mean blindly claiming everything the team does is right.
Thats a little harsh. They drew 11 walks, got a couple clutch hits, have played good D and have gotten a great start from Joba. They definitely deserve to be winning.
Seriously, is Cleveland the freaking portal to Hades? Why is this stadium cursed with locusts and ravens and shit? Is Yahweh going to turn Lake Erie into a pool of blood next?
Is this a mechanical thing? I don’t understand how he suddenly refound his velocity. He’s had a couple games where hes been mid nineties, all the others were low nineties.
francessa: obviously when Joba pitches like that, he’s gotto be a starter
caller: they want him to develop to pitch like that every time out
francessa: ANDY PETTITTE IS A STARTING PITCHER!!
People who say they’d rather have a 1 inning shutdown reliever instead of a 20 win starter are batshit insane.
If the Mets were to offer the Yankees either Johan Santana or K-Rod for, say, Angel Berroa, but only one of the two, these guys are telling me they’d take K-Rod instead of Santana?
He’s pitching the 8th. I want to hear Francesa tomorrow because he just got owned.
HE’S PITCHING TEH 8TH! WHERES THE 110 MPH FASTBALL THAT WE WOULD SEE ONCE HE’S IN TEH 8TH?!?!? Or is it only in the bullpen? Because that magically fixes problems I hear.
Have I come to the right blog if I just became aroused after watching Joba complete the 8th?
That depends. Are you a man? Because if so, that arousal at the actions of another man (Joba) can’t possibly be anything other than homosexuality, and we’re all a bunch of pansy-fags around here, so yes, you’re in the right place.
Yeah. Ramiro’s Mexican, sure, so it fits, but ARod most certainly has sex with pigs (as well as fish and men, because he’s a huge homo pansy), so he personally is responsible for the creation of Swine Flu, and probably AIDS as well.
Francesa tomorrow: You see how he pitched the 8th? A perfect inning! And he allowed 2 ERs, 4 hits, and 2 BBs the first 7 innings!!! He would do that everytime in the 8th! ATROCIOUS!
I just thought of Francesa’s argument for tomorrow.
The reason Joba shouldn’t be in the rotation: If he isn’t a 6 inning pitcher, but is actually an 8 inning pitcher, if you have 5 pitchers that all pitch into the 8th inning, there’s not enough innings for your bullpen and your relievers will get rusty.
Thus, you should put Joba in the bullpen and replace him with, say, Hughes, who can only go 5 innings, so everybody still gets work and nobody gets rusty.
I was reading the Jays or the O’s blog one night during a Yankees game and someone asked, “Do the Yankees have anyone warming in the bullpen?” and someone said, “Yes, Rivera” and the person said, “Oh fuck me. I’m going to bed.”
It is so going to suck to not have that response from opposing teams’ fans.
but seriously, it is going to suck. No matter who our next closer is and how good he is, he’s not going to be a Rivera. Mo’s saved us Yankees fans a lot of years for our lives and heart-attacks.
I saw Mo at 97 and that had me doubting Joba’s velocity but I checked gameday and it had Mo at 93, and Joba earlier topping out at 97. I feel better now
Doesn’t that illustrate just how crazy baseball really is?
I mean, Yankee Fans nowadays want perfection, and yet the big league record after like 125+ years of professional baseball of how long a team can go without screwing something up in a game is less than three weeks.
That was probably the best part of the whole rant because anybody who follows baseball like we do has known about Rick Porcello since he was in highschool.
yes it was a joke.
Francesa always says Porcello is a guy “you’ve never heard of” when in reality, we all know how he fell in the draft due to signability and the Tigers picked up and paid him a ton (something that if the Yankees did the media would kill them, but since its Detriot it was a ’smart way of rebuilding’
Joba can RaWrrrr
Phillips obviously upset that Alex didn’t fail – Orel says, “I can tell you’re upset Steve by the expression on your face” after Alex singles
is this serious or a joke. i could believe either.
no, Orel really said that
awesome!!!
Was Michael Kay just naming the seagulls?
ietc
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J.....on_Seagull
That was what passes for a literary comment from Michael Kay
Is Todd Helton still an underrated player in baseball? After all he has done throughout his career, I feel like he gets no love.
Cuz he plays in Colorado
I think Helton is as underrated as a singles hitter in a huge singles-friendly park making 16.6M this year and next and 19.1M in 2011 can possibly be.
Which is to say, no, he’s not underrated.
I think underrated was the wrong word? Maybe overlooked? I just feel like he doesn’t get talked about too much after all he has done throughout his career. I see where you are coming from though.
Sure, yeah, overlooked.
I just wonder what his production levels would really be if he wasn’t in Coors anymore. He has no power anymore, and without the huge gaps of Coors, I wonder how many fewer singles he’d be producing.
If he was hitting .270/.350/.390, that 16M contract would look like a Barry Zito-level disaster.
its because his career BA is .065 less away from Coors
Singles hitter? Maybe now in his mid-30’s, but he averaged over 88 XBH during a 6-yr period from ages 25-31, including seasons of 103 & 105 XBH at ages 26 & 27.
I know he plays in Coors, but come on, that’s some serious power right there. We don’t see guys like Brad Hawpe and Garrett Atkins putting up those kinds of numbers.
Plus, Helton was Peyton Manning’s backup at Tennessee.
Oh, no, sorry for the confusion.
Yes, he’s a singles hitter NOW.
In his prime, Helton was the man. No doubt about it. Coors helps, but Larry Walker and Todd Helton in their primes were legit stud MVP candidates.
Man, if it wasn’t for that Tex miscue, it would have been bases loaded 1 out again for Cano but im not complaining, we got 4 runs and I couldn’t have asked for more after last inning
come on joba 1-2-3
I hope someone can pitch the 8th.
I’m hoping for more homophobia myself.
cmon joba, quick inning
Well, that’s better, isn’t it?
- Joba dealing
- Lead re-established
- Ignorant troglodytic belligerent homophobic fools banished to the nether-reaches of the internet
http://wordandimage.files.word.....attack.png
lolcats u make my world go round.
94 in the 7th. Love it.
98 now.
the best thing about the Victor Martinez AB last inning was that Joba showed he can still bring that 97-98 mph fastball if he needs it
Wow, thought we were breaking the errorless streak right there…
96 mph bitches
I want to see Joba pitch the 8th. Then I’ll look forward to watching Francesa. Hopefully that Alex guy he yelled at calls again to piss of Francesa to eventually say…
“ANDY PETTITTE IS A STARTING PITCHER!”
That would be aweaome!
That guy was unhappy, huh? Yikes.
(Reply to Pat’s comment fail. My bad.)
Nice moniker… you FAG!!!!!!!!!
/Ironhorse’d
Ya sound like a gay.
Shut up, pansy.
ietc
He certaintly wasn’t part of the positive posse thats for sure
I hate to say it, but the rampant homophobia and the “positive posse” refrain…
IronHorse = DonnieBaseballHallofFame?
Nah… DBHOF wasn’t ever that out of line, was he? That was a new level of doucheitude.
Yeah, DBHOF wasn’t ever that insane.
Perhaps he decided to come back with a vengance, though. Just my idle mudslinging, pay it no mind.
WHALE SPOTTING!!!
AWE…post fail.
ACE!
Tex A-rod > Manny Ortiz , especially when you consider defense
Walking Tex for A-rod is asking for trouble, its a nightmare either way
Agreed. I’d take two more athletic batters with better defense than two huge people with one of them incapable of playing defense.
they both are awful defensively
e mills: did Orel really say that to Phillips about A-Rod?
yes
I missed the homophobia. Was that here? Glad I missed it.
Read the immediately preceding gamethread. If you dare.

Wait, that sounded kinda gay, forget i said that.
Whoa, remember, only the guy in the front is gay…at least that’s what they told me in college…
damn productive outs
quick out and let him go for the eigth. Joba is working fast, throwing fast
Do you send Joba out for the 8th? 95 pitches after 7.
I would but Girardi won’t, the other time Joba pitched 7 innings, he got pulled after that with only 92 pitches
95 pitches through 7, could we see Joba in the 8th?
Joba through seven innings. But the mediots were telling me he was only a 5 inning pitcher.
HIS ERA IS A 3.78!!!!!! THATS ATROCIOUS!!!!
WHIP is 1.47!!
Oh man Joba has to pitch the 8th just to hear the reaction of Fatcesna tomorrow.
Ya that would be great. I have a feeling though Francesa is still going to nitpick the start. I.e. 2 runs allowed and 2 walks.
Francesa will never stop.
He’s like the Terminator of idiocy.
Come with me if you want to lose brain cells.
ie. he’s only been the 7th twice
If he doosnt make da dabole play he gives up 4 runs!!!1!
I think jona will be out for the eighth….few more bullets in the tank cause of the oriole game
David Price did it last week. Joba should do it today. Gotta unleash these kids and let them throw 110/115 pitches at some point. Joba’s arm will not fall off.
That said, Girardi will probably pull him.
No one warming up. We can hope.
Girardi has to… for US damnit!
He does read RAB…
I just felt a diet coke can being crushed
ANDY PETTITTE IS A STARTING PITCHUH!
ATROCIOUS!
he prefers bottles over cans
Joba has had a pretty easy first 7 let the kid pitch.
Yes! Joba for the eighth!!
Is Alf available today?
Yeah I’d like to see Girardi and Pena take turns catching.
Wow. Mitch Williams on the MLB Network just said, “Even if Joba can win me 20 games a year, I still want him as my 8th inning guy”. Is this guy a dolt or what?
Worse. Brain dead. Anyone who would even say that is too ignorant for me to even consider their thoughts.
HAHAHAHAHAHA ridiculous.
http://www.baseball-almanac.co.....ograph.jpg
now thats ridiculous
-ly awesome.
You know that Brad Lidge OWNED pic?
http://i15.photobucket.com/alb....._Owned.jpg
I want one of those for Mitch Williams and Joe Carter.
wheres a towel, ill do the curt schilling
They’re just pretending to know baseball since everyone else int he media thinks he should go in the bullpen.
i wish i could hear kruk’s comments on bbtn- too bad he’s covering the ncaa softball…
says the guy who couldnt close out the world series.
I feel like most of the B-Jobbers are just trying to say that they were right in the event that the bullpen blows something big like a playoff game or a chance to get to the playoffs, but clearly Joba being a starter is the right move. Cashman can fix the bullpen, or the bullpen can simply right itself
They say we only use 10% of our brain but I cant give that much credit.
&give Mitch Williams that much credit
my brother and father are Bjobbers…..sigh.
they just dont understand that when you start moving your gbest pitchers out into the bullpen…then you are left with the likes of Darrel Rasner and Sidney Ponson.
I LOVE that replay. The guys laughing in the dugout is great too.
Melky draws a walk. I like seeing that. Possibly a corner he has turned?
Patience pays…Our lineup is pretty patient and has worn the pitcher down a lot and I love it!
Yes, some could be bad pitching but our lineup deserves credit, now if only we could get Cano involved…
11 walks.
I’d appreciate that, but it would probably make me a gay pansy of some sort.
That’s too positive. 11 walks = Indians suck, it =/= Yankees good.
Well, I am in the “positive posse”.
I’m also a homo, apparently. I love the cock.
:rofl:
Kay should be advocating the bunt any second now. It’s actually not an awful idea right now.
Women who just scream at baseball games annoy me. Men too but the female scream goes right through me.
I didn’t mean to reply to this. I think I was going to say something about Kay and then that woman’s scream just annoyed me too damn much.
5 Hits and 11 Walks
I think you pull Joba since he threw that simulated 1st inning before the game. Hopefully, someone in the ‘pen will step up.
i guess we should have him do that more often
i dont get that, so he threw the simulated inning so now his pitch count is no longer 100-110 its 90-100?
Pena??
Why not let Pena just try and pull a ball? Makes no sense.
Did Kay just say that bunting was a bad idea? wow
and tomorrow Francessa moves of the b-jobber list.
Nah no way. He’s in waaaaay too deep for that. He’ll take it to the grave, he has too much pride.
He said Sunday night that “we all know” it’s so obvious Joba needs to be in the pen.
No way he changes his tune. Francessa never admits he’s wrong.
The world is clearly about the end.
Oof, not cool bunting out, but I do like to see someone willing to try to bunt with 2 strikes.
You need to get it down, though.
Note – as long as it’s for a base hit, and not a sac.
Yeah he probably wanted to show Joe G he could get his job done…
I don’t think that was from the bench. Hopefully he was just trying to prove he could bunt…
I’m glad we don’t have that guy anymore
putz is blowing up
johan to the 8th!!1!
At least Girardi is letting Joba pitch the 8th. His game to lose at this point.
Stupid move by Pena, and all around bad baseball by the yanks today. Great pitching by Joba, but the yanks don’t even deserve to be winning this game right now
…really?

That’s a little much. Bunting in that situation, with 2 strikes, was not smart. Being a fan doesn’t mean blindly claiming everything the team does is right.
We pitched much better. So yes we do deserve the win.
Hmm… well that’s one way to look at it. lol
The Indians walked 11 hitters. The Indians don’t deserve to be winning this game. Since one team has to win, the Yanks deserve it more.
Can’t argue with that, but the yanks should definitely have more than 5 runs
Thats a little harsh. They drew 11 walks, got a couple clutch hits, have played good D and have gotten a great start from Joba. They definitely deserve to be winning.
Why would you say they deserve to lose? Joba deserves the win. Period. End of story.
Don’t be stupid.
That’s a pretty negative attitude. You’re last name isn’t Brown by any chance is it Charlie?
it is actually
Touche.
Pitching wins games…So, Joba goes 8 giving up 2 and we win. That is the definition of a win.
Joba pitching the 8th inning, exactly what francessa wanted
If Joba can do this every game, the Joba as a start wins, and the Joba TO TEH 8TH!!! wins. Joba = Problem Solver.
Joba WILL pitch teh 8th!!!11!
This blog is too straight. where are all the gays. need some gays.
You must be talking about me. I’m a huge homo-fag.
Joba says the bugs can eat my shorts. And Francesa too.
Sometimes I think you’re too hard on yourself…
He said hard on…
Careful, you’ll get TSJC all aroused again.
You know how much I love the cock, after all…
One’s not enough, bring some friend. Don’t you type multiply like bunnies?

you’re gay.
I love how a mike francessa ad came on just as Joba is about to pitch the 8th
Joba’s pitching the 8th, yet both sides of the B-Jobber debate are happy. We’ve reached nirvana.
Glad to see Joba still in the game.
teh 8th!1!!!!!1
Joba to teh eighth!11!!11
Fucking bugs.
Seriously, is Cleveland the freaking portal to Hades? Why is this stadium cursed with locusts and ravens and shit? Is Yahweh going to turn Lake Erie into a pool of blood next?
hillary swank needs to investigate
Why is this stadium cursed with locusts and ravens and shit?
Well, it IS in Cleveland….
The midges are descending. I say that’s a sign from on high that Joba should not pitch the 8th.
+62
Joba really doesn’t like bugs.
Francesa is on the air for 5 and a half hours a day? Good Mo that is about 5 hours too long.
Can’t wait to see how Tankseca reacts to this one tomorrow.
ITS ONE START, GIVE ME THE NUMBIZ ON ANDY PETTITTE IS A STAHTING PITCHUH!
He gave up that long homah to Martinez, and if you have him throw 8 innings every day, he’ll expose himself to injury diving for popups.
come on joba nice quick inning here.
Is this a mechanical thing? I don’t understand how he suddenly refound his velocity. He’s had a couple games where hes been mid nineties, all the others were low nineties.
PEDS!!
I keed, I keed
I think it is.
Just like Sabathia’s command was godawful to start the season. Purely mechanics.
it’s usually mechanical and getting stronger after pitching for a while
Our D is sexy.
NICE!
Jeter his ranging hard.
is
Jeet + range? Does. Not. Compute.
francessa: obviously when Joba pitches like that, he’s gotto be a starter

WHY WE GET TEH CC WHEN WE COULD HAVE GOTTEN TEH K-ROD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are comparing the games best pitcher to an above average closer. They aren’t on the same level.
:headsmack:
facepalm
You are comparing the games best pitcher to an above average closer. They aren’t on the same level.
I’ll take Johan Santana over Mariano Rivera every day of the week and twice on doubleheaders.
Kay, the Yankees are not “reluctant” to move him back, THEY ARE NOT MOVING HIM BACK!!!!
He’s pitching the 8th. I want to hear Francesa tomorrow because he just got owned.
HE’S PITCHING TEH 8TH! WHERES THE 110 MPH FASTBALL THAT WE WOULD SEE ONCE HE’S IN TEH 8TH?!?!? Or is it only in the bullpen? Because that magically fixes problems I hear.
Wow, some rationality from Michael Kay. All sorts of crazy going on tonight…
Agreed.
Have patience, Yankees’ fans. You’re watching two homegrown pitchers earn their pinstripes.
joba complete game?
The midges are back
Cleveland is a toxic waste dump.
I want Joba to finish this one.
That would be sick
eh, 106 pitches…
VERAS!
put him out there, if he gets a guy on then call mo
THE BJOBBERS WIN!! JOBA’S PITCHING THE 8th…oh wait…he pitched the other seven too? Hahah, guess we win this time.
Drop the curve to end the inning please. Just do it for me Joba. Me and my gay friends here will fellate you.
You mean the Positive Posse?
Exactly.
Come on, Joba. Get this last guy!
B-Jobbers got what they want, Joba is pitching the 8th inning.
back of his neck looked like cured pastrami
thanks kay
Way to fuckin’ go, Joba. That was a fuckin’ brilliant outing.
Girardi dont dare to take him out let him pitch get a complete game.
…
Not going to happen.
man I wish I could hear that conversation b/t Joba and Jorge…they were in obvious disagreement
Bullpen this bitches.
joba wanted to get teh K – fistpump
Have I come to the right blog if I just became aroused after watching Joba complete the 8th?
thats a little much
YES U HAVE WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER
Have I come to the right blog if I just became aroused after watching Joba complete the 8th?
That depends. Are you a man? Because if so, that arousal at the actions of another man (Joba) can’t possibly be anything other than homosexuality, and we’re all a bunch of pansy-fags around here, so yes, you’re in the right place.
Hugein Bonerfind
It’s really cool when guys like Hughes and Joba pitch well like this.
If Joba gets to close it out, does Phil get rubbed the wrong way for getting yanked the other day?
Phil needs to be worried about Phil, not Joba
He won’t close it out.
If Joba gets to close it out, does Phil get rubbed the wrong way for getting yanked the other day?
It’s a good thing IronHorse wasn’t around to read this comment.
The Yanks are on the verge of setting the MLB record for consecutive games without a fielding error. Tex for MVP?
it’s not hard to play defense behind strikeouts. The last 17 games the Yankees have 114 k’s…sick.
That’s just… awesome.
Holey gay monkey balls, that’s awesome.
Joba should be in the bullpen. We should have re-signed Carl Pavano. Ramiro Pena is responsible for bringing over swine flu.
You forgot to move Jeter to LF and let Pena start
and that Swisher is not a starter and that A-rod is a selfish un-clutch clubhouse cancer!
Ramiro PenaA-Rod is responsible for bringing over swine flu.Fixed.
yeah i considered that…
Yeah. Ramiro’s Mexican, sure, so it fits, but ARod most certainly has sex with pigs (as well as fish and men, because he’s a huge homo pansy), so he personally is responsible for the creation of Swine Flu, and probably AIDS as well.
Looks like Joba is done. Mo got it.
I’m on the fence.
1) Joba CG.
2) Rivera for the easy save.
Note: I have both Joba and Rivera on my fantasy team.
Eh, no need to overextend him. Plus, Mo needs work.
Francesa tomorrow: You see how he pitched the 8th? A perfect inning! And he allowed 2 ERs, 4 hits, and 2 BBs the first 7 innings!!! He would do that everytime in the 8th! ATROCIOUS!
Is Swisha alive!? That would be sweet
Thank Mo Swish is coming back.
Hope this is a sign of Swish heating up. Would be huge for the offense.
nick is waking up jsut in time to suck at YSIII again
I just thought of Francesa’s argument for tomorrow.
The reason Joba shouldn’t be in the rotation: If he isn’t a 6 inning pitcher, but is actually an 8 inning pitcher, if you have 5 pitchers that all pitch into the 8th inning, there’s not enough innings for your bullpen and your relievers will get rusty.
Thus, you should put Joba in the bullpen and replace him with, say, Hughes, who can only go 5 innings, so everybody still gets work and nobody gets rusty.
BOOM, THAT JUST HAPPENED. IS YOUR MIND BLOWN?
Actually no. I will not be surprised if Francesa said that.
I scared myself a little there while writing that.
“it wuz dah indians widdout seyezmoah…who cayhs? Lemme see him do it against a real lineup!”

Looking for another Jack
Joba currently has the second best ERA among the starting pitchers. Naw, lets put him in the bullpen. It’s cool.
Francesa will probably say u see how he pitch a 1-2-3 eight inning he would do dat all the time.
whats really amazing is that the YES gun was actually accurate to a point, on some pitches joba was throwin 97 (gameday)
Are all the Cleveland fans drunk?
wouldn’t you be if your team was the indians?

that’s what I thought. Joined Lanny on the Indians blog.
Jensen Lewis out to get his revenge
I was reading the Jays or the O’s blog one night during a Yankees game and someone asked, “Do the Yankees have anyone warming in the bullpen?” and someone said, “Yes, Rivera” and the person said, “Oh fuck me. I’m going to bed.”
It is so going to suck to not have that response from opposing teams’ fans.
he’s not going away for another 10 years
but seriously, it is going to suck. No matter who our next closer is and how good he is, he’s not going to be a Rivera. Mo’s saved us Yankees fans a lot of years for our lives and heart-attacks.
That is funny…and sad. I must be gay, I feel sadness.

Ah ha. Let’s put him in the outfield.
Is Mo bringing it 96????
Solid 93, 93, 93, 93, 93, 93, 93, 93.
He doesn’t change speeds. He doesn’t have to.
Dear Mo,
Don’t reach for line drives with your bare hand
I love you,
Jackson
Mo does not hear you. Mo only hears those who speak to Him after He has addressed them.
You love another man? You homo-pansy.
/IronHorse’d
He got hit by the ball. What an athletic move.
The YES gun is still set to “Joba” apparently – 97, 96 and 95 for Mo.
At least gameday has it correct. Joba topping out at 97 and Mo averaging 93. Fan Confidence++
When Mariano is ready to hang it up in, say, 10 years, I hope they play him in center field for a game.
I think my favorite Mo stat this year is the 26.0 K/BB ratio.
26/1
YES gun is juiced at least 2mph
It seems that way
I saw Mo at 97 and that had me doubting Joba’s velocity but I checked gameday and it had Mo at 93, and Joba earlier topping out at 97. I feel better now
97 in the 8th, baby.
Hair on the fastball.
I’m not even going there.
Mo throw the Folly Floater…
Is Mo a voted unanimously in for the HOF?
Corky Simpson says no.
First ballot yes. Unanimously no. People hate the Yankees.
Wow, good eye by Choo. I would’ve been flailing at that shit.
I got a question maybe a smarter baseball fan can answer for me.
What is the advantage of putting Cabrera (the better defensive outfielder) in LF as opposed to RF?
Wouldn’t you want the one with the stronger arm in RF to keep runners going from 1st to 3rd?
The only answer I have:
Swisher has been playing RF all season, he’s comfortable there. There’s a school of thought to not screw with a player’s comfort level too much.
That’s one way to look at it, but how is Swisher in left field? He played only 100 games in LF, i’m assuming theres a reason for that.
There’s probably more ground to cover in LF. Covering ground>>>> throwing people out.
they probably just didnt wanna mess around with swisher more than anything else
thanks – didn’t know if i was missing something or if it was just a comfort thing which it probably is.
nice game
New Record!!!
Mo just does it all great play.
Nice at bat Choo but no one gives a shit.
MAAAAD athletic play by Mo right there.
what’s up wuth Chu’s little league helmet
nice road trip
what’s up wuth Chu’s little league helmet
Mo is just too terrific – What great fielding!!
we have the longest streak without an error yayyyyyyyyyyy.
A win *and* we break a Red Sox record? BONUS!!!
Hooray!!!! And it’s even sweeter because we wrested the record from the Red Sox!!!
isnt it sad that 17 games without an error is a record?
Doesn’t that illustrate just how crazy baseball really is?
I mean, Yankee Fans nowadays want perfection, and yet the big league record after like 125+ years of professional baseball of how long a team can go without screwing something up in a game is less than three weeks.
That should tell you something.
It is, but all it takes is one remotely homerish official scorer to screw it up.

Wow that was an awesome play. What a great way to end a great game.
It’s good to be on top of the errorless list again. MFers!
13 pitches of beauty
Yay, win!
Swisher is absolutely nuts. Love that guy.
Nick Swisher is not a B-Jobber. Suck it!
RECORD BITCHES!
Lets flood Francesa with Joba meter questions…
YES Let’s all call up and just fucking annoy that fat bastard.
Get me porcello’s last 5 starts! No one has eva hearda him!
That was probably the best part of the whole rant because anybody who follows baseball like we do has known about Rick Porcello since he was in highschool.
Porcello? Wasnt he drafted in like the 27th round? Scouts were way down on him
I hope ur joking homes.
Kid was one of the best talents in the draft. He signed for like 7 mil.
I think he’s being sarcastic since Francesa seemed to be oblivious to his being the top pitcher in that draft.
I believe he is making fun of Mike franchesca
Ahh ok jokes on me then….
thats twice today, blah…
-pat
yes it was a joke.
Francesa always says Porcello is a guy “you’ve never heard of” when in reality, we all know how he fell in the draft due to signability and the Tigers picked up and paid him a ton (something that if the Yankees did the media would kill them, but since its Detriot it was a ’smart way of rebuilding’
I love the yankees, i’m gay.
I love them more. I’m gayer.
Who the guy on Southpark? Big gay Al? I’m him.
Nah, I’m gayer. I like roller-skates and Joba pitching 8 strong innings.
You know, the hardest part of roller-blading is telling your parents you’re gay.
OH, so true.
Great game all around, really enjoyable. Best part of the game, I’m just gonna throw this out there, Ironhorse. You pansies
What I love about RAB as much as anything else: How quickly we turn the belligerent rants and slurs of the idiots into humor, inside jokes, and memes.
Where did the gay meme come from? Earlier game thread or what?
I’m kinda sad I missed this.
I guess I’m a pansy.
shut up, faggot. I like ironhorse cock.
faggot is a little harsh.
THIS WAS IN POOR TASTE!!! REMOVE THIS POST!!!
I totally forgot to use that one, it’s time has past
Lease favorite part, Kay and Flash booth report.
