I dunno, let us know how The Hangover is, it just seems like one of those movies that all it’s funny parts are in the commercials, I won’t see it until I get some reviews
Well in other news, Jesus Montero got his first run scored after he walked down in Trenton. Of course the other team is stealing bases at will against him
I hate to say it, but I think even Ransom does better than 3 DP grounders in 3 bases loaded situations and that strikeout we just saw.
Hell, 4 strikeouts would be better than what ARod did in those ABs.
I have full confidence he’ll round into form, but right now, frankly, he sucks up there. He’s trying to pull EVERYTHING, and when he does that, he sucks.
Teix did his job, so did Alex. You said a minute ago that robbies out would have been a hit if it was 8 feet over. Same with Alex’s yesterday. He drove in a run on that play. He drove in a run today.
Listen, I know booing him isn’t the right thing to do here, and we certainly expect too much out of him, but you have to admit Arod hasn’t been too good when we needed him the last few games.
It’s the fact that he’s had awful, awful at bats in those situations. Swinging at ball four with the bases loaded in a 3-1 count and a pitcher who lost the plate. And then swinging at a ball in his own batters box. Then again, he does have our only RBI tonight. And Robie looks like shit at the plate again.
Does Robbie have somewhere else to be? There are definitely Yankees I’ve liked less, and many who were worse, but Cano is my all-time most infuriating Yankee.
Dude Robbie and Swisher put this team on their backs and carried them for the first few weeks of the season. Let’s give them some time before we start turning on them
If that grounder goes 8 feet to the left, it’s a hit.
He needs to cut down on the grounders and hit more liners, but that pitch was a fucking meatball down the middle. What do you want him to do? Watch it?
Tonight: three ABs, four pitches. Month of May: .297 OBP. I didn’t say he’s not a valuable player, just that I personally find him infuriating. He always seems to be something less than he could be. Just how I feel.
You do realize by Andy saying his back didn’t hurt, which it obviously did by the way he covered first on that Swisher play, that he inevitably pushed back CC’s start and put Hughes in the Pen. Wanger would’ve made the start today if Andy was honest.
Atlanta is only filling 48% of the stadium, cut that million to help add McLouth. Yea Glavine is a HoF, blah blah, he pitched to an ERA over 5 last year in the NL, his contract wasn’t all guaranteed so they made a business decision and cut him loose.
Oh God and you should have heard Sutcliffe rave about him after it too.
He’s looked so great tonight, he hit one to the warning track, yada yada yada. It was Nate Robertson – failed starter and awful reliever – and a hanging pitch in the strikezone. Relax Sutcliffe.
You’ll notice Jeter NEVER strikes out looking. He always has a chat with the ump. Jeter, I love you, but that was a strike every day of the week, sit the fuck down.
but it wasnt a “strike every day of the week” like you claimed. superstars like jeter get that call more times then not whne you’re dealing with a scott feldman on the mound
Seriously, people who are booing ARod need the fuck beat out of them. That guy just cannot win. Why are those booing even at the game, shouldn’t they be at Citizens field
*golf clap*
First of all you’re acting more immature than me and anyone can tell it’s a mock to you.
Second NICE argument by going on age. That just proves you can’t say anything more so you try to insult by age.
Though really you are in no position to talk.
EVERY post you made has something to insult every player on the team.
So stop being hypocritical, stop booing every player for everything because its goddamn annoying and then I’ll stop.
But if you continue to act like this garbage fan then why the hell can’t I?
Yes. He covered first on that play that Swish barely got to the base and looked AWFUL running. Also, he was clearly grimacing on it. No way he felt good coming into today. He should’ve passed on this start. Joe trusted him and he was obviously duped. Now we have Phil in the pen and CC is pushed back.
New thread, that usually means a rally in the works in Yankee land
Off with Joe’s head.
Watching this goofy looking, hittable bastard shut down the offense is frustrating.
It’ll come, we had this same deal going with Pavano
We might not have 27 outs today.
True, but I can live with a loss today considering how we’ve played lately. Amazing how calming a bunch of wins can be
Not tonight bro… can’t win every game.
Time for the yankees to wake up.
Official and rain is on the way.. We need to score in the 6th.
In Re: to dkidd’s comment about “The Hangover”
I dunno, let us know how The Hangover is, it just seems like one of those movies that all it’s funny parts are in the commercials, I won’t see it until I get some reviews
It looks funny as hell. Just too bad Iron Mike can’t really enjoy a small media resurgence…
It screened so well that they already green lit a sequel. Seriously. It’s supposed to be really funny.
No Aceves? We’re really screwed now with Tomko out there
Just one of those days I guess
This is far from over, if we have 4 innings left.
True, but they’ll leave Feldman as long as possible, and the Yanks haven’t been able to touch him. He’s at 73 pitches.
I guess Joe G. threw in the towel. Tomko??
I was about to make a similar post, but Michael Young promptly delivered a DP ball.
We have people in the pen. They need to throw.
at least its not veras
Well in other news, Jesus Montero got his first run scored after he walked down in Trenton. Of course the other team is stealing bases at will against him
Mike Ashmore blogged that the SB in the 1st was a great jump, and Montero made a strong throw, but it wasn’t close.
Let’s try getting to the Rangers bullpen to score a few runs next inning.
pfft. dying quail into left, hbp, walk,
shallow fly to righthomer and we’re back in the biz boys…Thank you Al.
A-Rod did a great play but LETS BOO HIM! THAT’LL HELP THE YANKEES!
I’m thinking Teixeira pinch hit walk off
i was gonna ask…think he’s available for grittner or…dare i say it…arod?
lol nah. You shouldn’t say it.
You don’t pinch hit for A-Rod. It’s not like the guy is anywhere near helpless up there
Hmm, Swish is a solid 1B.
didnt we, i dont know, actually sign him to be our 1B?
We never signed him. But yes he was “supposed” to be our starting first baseman.
I think Andrew Jones might be slower than Posada.
good to know if there are no more hits or walks, A-Rod will be the last one to strikeout for the night
woops supposed to be way down
Interesting to see what out lineup would have been without signing Tex.
Not interesting, scary
we should get NICK SWISHER to ph for Arod here…
3 runs isn’t tough to come back from, we just gotta get rid of this starter.
Another full count from Swisher.
. . followed by another strikeout.
That’s weird, Swisher just worked a 3-2 count
That looked like a ball. Late call.
bullshit call
Wilkins De La Rosa out after 6 in AA. Solid outing.
i hate it when guys strike out looking, come on swish we need a rally here.
Thank you JD.
Wow, with Jeter, that’s in CF. Not bad, and Johnny is safe!
Extra outs better get a rally.
Good range, bad throw.
God the Tigers are so overrated…
When Verlander or Jackson aren’t pitching.
I’m just glad Johnny didn’t faceplant on that one.
Coach K’s a good guy and all…but fuck Duke.
Wow great job of backing up by Feldman.
Hahahahahahahaha. I’ll take it.
all the way to third?! what happened?!!!
Feldman bounced the throw, Davis missed it, rolled all the way down the line.
Davis sailed the throw to third, too, but Feldman was backing it up.
ty
Seriously… just cut this lead in half with a fly ball.
You need to work on your math skills
Thanks Chip…………………………..
Well, that sure helps! Hopefully A-Rod can hit something now
A-Rod has fucking killed us tonight.
+1…. his AB’s tonight are so deflating, this lineup is so flat without Teixeira it seems
He also gave us a run in the first.
and he coulda given us quite a few others, the bad outweighs the good here
Stop booing A-Rod. I’m sure you idiots would rather have Cody Ransom but I like winning.
I hate to say it, but I think even Ransom does better than 3 DP grounders in 3 bases loaded situations and that strikeout we just saw.
Hell, 4 strikeouts would be better than what ARod did in those ABs.
I have full confidence he’ll round into form, but right now, frankly, he sucks up there. He’s trying to pull EVERYTHING, and when he does that, he sucks.
So right now on June 3rd 2009 you’ll take Cody Ransom over A-Rod?
No.
i wouldn’t at all, but that doesn’t mean arod hasn’t hurt us pretty badly today
Calling a DP ball that isn’t turned into a double play makes no sense.
No?
You think that was a good hit? A good approach at the plate? It was awful, and Teixeira bailed him out.
Teix did his job, so did Alex. You said a minute ago that robbies out would have been a hit if it was 8 feet over. Same with Alex’s yesterday. He drove in a run on that play. He drove in a run today.
No, a thousand times no. Ransom was worse than 2009 David Ortiz so just stop this stupidity.
Oy vey A-Rod, gotta at least put that in play
wow.
OMG EVIL ROBBIE!!! quit with the first pitch shit!!!
I hate this guy.
So much for Cano’s plate discipline. Wasn’t that week when he was patient awesome?
Well it’s not like he swung at a bad pitch. It was a curve that hung up a bit, he just didn’t do anything with it
It was a meatball down the middle.
He’ll never be a Swisher, but he has cut down on the swinging at pitches a foot outside (like Jeter in his last AB), etc.
frustrating game
Complete and utter ineptitude.
Man the bats just don’t want to drive in runs tonight.
Listen, I know booing him isn’t the right thing to do here, and we certainly expect too much out of him, but you have to admit Arod hasn’t been too good when we needed him the last few games.
he’s also playing with a bad hip and has an OBP over .400 so lets put things in perspective
he makes fifty seven million dollars a year.
i expect him to wear new shoes to every press conference.
It’s the fact that he’s had awful, awful at bats in those situations. Swinging at ball four with the bases loaded in a 3-1 count and a pitcher who lost the plate. And then swinging at a ball in his own batters box. Then again, he does have our only RBI tonight. And Robie looks like shit at the plate again.
So is it game 52 or 53
For all the talk about how Tex needed Alex, tonight it looks like Alex could have used Tex.
They need each other.
But they hated each other in Texas!
Ugh.. not so good AB’s and a hit. That’s a .333 average.
. . and a small village LOB. Not his night tonight.
The bases loaded DP killed us. Man on 3rd with 1 out has to get home. Both cases they were just bad ABs where he tried to do too much.
Andy 4 runs in 5 innings killed us too
That’s the a rod I remember
You don’t remember him being a good hitter? Huh.
You must not watch much baseball.
i think he means his anti clutchness in 2008, although he was pretty clutch in 07.
goddamn our offense sucks today, arod and robbie gotta get that friggin run in
Does Robbie have somewhere else to be? There are definitely Yankees I’ve liked less, and many who were worse, but Cano is my all-time most infuriating Yankee.
Dude Robbie and Swisher put this team on their backs and carried them for the first few weeks of the season. Let’s give them some time before we start turning on them
If that grounder goes 8 feet to the left, it’s a hit.
He needs to cut down on the grounders and hit more liners, but that pitch was a fucking meatball down the middle. What do you want him to do? Watch it?
Tonight: three ABs, four pitches. Month of May: .297 OBP. I didn’t say he’s not a valuable player, just that I personally find him infuriating. He always seems to be something less than he could be. Just how I feel.
You’re absolutely right. He’s a frustrating player. Always has been. But we’ll all love him when he gets red hot this summer.
Wait until the ninth, whiners. You act like they didnt score 12 runs yesturday.
It’s not even game-to-game nowadays. It’s pitch-to-pitch people whine. Andy why’d you throw ball one!? Damon why’d your take that pitch!?
It’s killin me with all the negativity. Andy’s the one that put us in a hole not Alex.
blame Alex for Andy’s bad back
What?
You do realize by Andy saying his back didn’t hurt, which it obviously did by the way he covered first on that Swisher play, that he inevitably pushed back CC’s start and put Hughes in the Pen. Wanger would’ve made the start today if Andy was honest.
You do realize my sarcasm of blame Alex for all of the Yankees problems
my bad. Nah didn’t realize.. Lol lots of hate on Al tonight clouded my judgement.
But when we do they’ll all stay quiet.
I’m just glad I didn’t include them in my parlay tonight, although I do think they’ll still win the game
Montero’s first AA hit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v.....r_embedded
Nice.
Was hoping for something deep. So it goes.
Only 3 frickin hits? Scott Feldman?
Love that old school 1B stretch by Swish. Nobody seems to do that much anymore.
Oh and who scored our only run? A-Rod? LET’S BOO HIM!!!!!!
actually, no, arod did not score our only run, i’m sorry
I hate the people on here who nitpick mistakes on posts where it’s obvious what the point is.
Well Swisher scored it, A-Rod had the RBI though
I really wish CC was pitching tomorrow night now that it looks like were going to lose tonight.
Meanwhile Brett Tomko throws strikes and keeps us in the game. How about a hand for Brett Tomko?
boooo
How about the Braves? They didn’t want to give Glavine a million bucks? That’s a slap in the face
…think he’d want the long man job in NY?
Seriously, it may be the only other place he’d consider pitching. But I doubt they’ll pay him, and he left a bad impression with the fans.
I’ll guess he retires.
Atlanta is only filling 48% of the stadium, cut that million to help add McLouth. Yea Glavine is a HoF, blah blah, he pitched to an ERA over 5 last year in the NL, his contract wasn’t all guaranteed so they made a business decision and cut him loose.
Yeah, if the contract kicked in it was 4+ mil, not just one mil. He pays for McClouth, and then some. Mclouth makes 2 mil this year.
http://mlbcontracts.blogspot.com/search?q=mclouth+
Yeah, we all laughed at Pedro demand for 5mil but if Glavine stayed off the DL he would have got 4m
OK OK…lets all get on the same sheet of music and win this bad boy for Brett Tomko.
Ortiz got a hit?
1-4 raises his average. 1-5 will raise it too
Oh God and you should have heard Sutcliffe rave about him after it too.
He’s looked so great tonight, he hit one to the warning track, yada yada yada. It was Nate Robertson – failed starter and awful reliever – and a hanging pitch in the strikezone. Relax Sutcliffe.
Is that too much silver lining?
I may be late with this but did everyone see, Mcclouth to Atlanta.
Is tex available to PH for Gardner?
I feel like this is their inning
So that makes me (1-1) right?
Thanks Jorge. Now let’s get a couple more, shall we?
there we go baby
1 down, 2 to go. Keep whining Negative Nancy.
Rocket.
BOO!!!! We’re not winngn yt!!
Feldman’s velocity is down from 93-95 to 90-91, this is when they can hammer him.
He’s been positively hittable all game it’s just a matter of squaring up on the ball
send him to the 8th
Dammit, Hideki. That was your pitch!
Agreed, can’t throw a better one in there than that
Matsui didn’t get a HR! Boo him!
i think you’ll stop eventually, right?
LOL
LOLWUT! No I’m not going to stop. I’m going to be apart of the booing Yankee crowd today.
Fuck yeah Melky.
But no home run! Teh yankees suck!!
Nice range by Kinsler, but it’s still a hit. And the tying run is at bat once again.
I’m loving it, now a Gardner bunt single to get Jeter up as the go-ahead run (1-1)
Please no bunt.
There’s bunting and then there’s bunting to get a hit
There’s swinging to get a hit and bunting to get a hit. I don’t want him bunting to get a hit every game.
Depends on how the third baseman plays him
If Brett Gardner even thinks bunt here I will contemplate killing him.
I like the bunt idea better
anyone notice cj wilson’s creepy ass picture on gameday?
yea, he looks like a rapist
You send Gardy here? lead off with the top of the lineup next inning IF he’s caught.
send grittner every time. EVERY time. luckily, he only goes when he wants to…
It wouldn’t have mattered in hindsight, but how the hell do you not send him on 0-2 to Jeter.
I thought all Rangers starters have to \throw 120 pitches? Only threw 98, Nolan must be furious
Steal here? If you get caught, the top of the order is up in the 8th otherwise you’re in scoring position
ahh Youk just went down and training staff had to come out
andddd he’s out the game
Could you see what the injury was?
ankle stepped on
love it
what’d he injure?
looked like his ankle got stepped on
Is it just me or is Jeter having little chats w/the ump more often this year?
Its just you.
because he wants to be more gritty like youkilis
You’ll notice Jeter NEVER strikes out looking. He always has a chat with the ump. Jeter, I love you, but that was a strike every day of the week, sit the fuck down.
Except… it wasn’t. Check the pitch f/x.
Looked borderline. Either way, you can’t look at that pitch 0-2 and expect not to be rung up.
but it wasnt a “strike every day of the week” like you claimed. superstars like jeter get that call more times then not whne you’re dealing with a scott feldman on the mound
God damn it, I hate the umpires this year.
If MLB is serious about grading these assholes, half of them should be replaced.
Actually, I saw an article on THT that showed MLB was very good at weeding out the poor umpires and getting the good ones behind the plate more often
Oh? Could you link it?
I just have no clue how Angel Hernandez still has a job, lol.
well…we cut the lead in half!
Tell him to check his math Chip.
Hahaha
This is just an uneventful game. Very boring.
Weather’s bad, game is bad, Andy put us in a hole right away, Alex had some bad ABs. Throw in the fact the Red Sox are blowing out the Tigers.
Just bad all around.
fuck jeter, 3 fastball strikes lookin in a row is just not exactly an ideal at bat
BOO HIM!!! HE DIDN’T GET A HOMERUN!!!
And you’re asking me to stop?
my god jobawockeez… enough
That was so unnecessary, Nick.
Way to fucking go Tomko
no shit.
wow.
alright yankees, this is the most deflated the offense has looked in the last month.
late rally?
That’s what I like from Tomko, guy throws strikes
Heck of a job by Tomko tonight.
Good outing by Tomko.
Tomko to the 8th!!!
Detroit has cut the lead to 5, wouldn’t it be funny and great if they got within 2 or less and the beat Papsmear in the 9th. Oh the joy in Mudville.
papsmear isn’t gonna pitch he threw 35 last night
Tomko sucks HE DIDN’T HIT A HOME RUN BOOOOOOO HIM!
did he break a bat without hitting a ball?
NO?!
THEN BOOOOO!!!!!
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11.....rardi.html
I feel like you’re trying to make a point…….hmmmmm……..
Aside from his first game vs. the O’s and the game against the Phils, Tomko’s done pretty well.
He tends to dot that 93-93 on the black pretty well.
93-94*
Work a walk here. . .
I’ll take it.
How strange, Nick Swisher has another 3-2 count
Swisher got a hit but no HR! He sucks!!
we’re all begging you… STOP
i actually enjoy it, because its exactly what people do
What? Everyones being negative, booing every player for every mistake so I’m going to do it until they all shut up.
Wow!
Man, Andrus is fucking good at SS.
JD and Al, I couldn’t be happier.
Wow that had no business being a close play. I’m incredibly impressed w/Andrus tonight.
In the words of Ken Singleton: LOOK OUT!
I can’t stand how YES talks about things and doesn’t show a replay
My Name is Earl gets cancelled, and that dude becomes an MLB pitcher?!
WTF?!
Well maybe A-Rod can appease some fans by hitting one out here
My bad
(1-2)
Never going to happen. (Appeasing fans that is)
C’mon Al! keep it movin baby.
I think you’re the only person on the planet who calls him Al
Girardi does it once in a while.
I’ve never heard it. But I believe you.
C’mon A-Rod….tie this baby up!!
Ok. Melky + Aceves for Andrus. Then we move Jeter to CF!
THAT JUST HAPPENED!
Good pitch by Wilson there.
Oh look, ARod swinging through a changeup. I haven’t seen THAT one before.
Man A-rod why do you look so awful today
I’m guessing he had to write the alimony check.
Better than a DP.
Damn. Ugly night for Alex.
nah uh, he had an RBI way back when
What a surprise.
DFA-Rod
Pray for Cody Ransoms quick return to make this team unbeatable. A-Rod is a caner and we will lose every ballgame with him in our lineup.
http://yankees.lhblogs.com/200.....t-yankees/
Pick up your boy Robbie.
Seriously, people who are booing ARod need the fuck beat out of them. That guy just cannot win. Why are those booing even at the game, shouldn’t they be at Citizens field
that’s like a good 10000 people dude.
great pitching by tomko(yes, brett tomko), but yet again the roidster can not come through, pretty disappointing
DFA him!!!! WE NEED CODY RANSOM!!!!
This Wilson guy is pretty damn good
He needs a break. Run Pena out there for the rest of the game…either we win or Arod (Al) doesnt get up again anyway, so let’s give him a break.
Oh my fucking god he is good at SS.
Is it me or did Cano look like he was running half speed?
It’s you
just you. Unbelievable play. Robbie smelled an infield hit out of the box.
Well fuck! Guess my internet speed sucks.
I officially have a man crush on Elvis Andrus.
That Andrus dude got some skillzzzz
and 8 errorzzzzzzzzzzz
And a 17.7 UZR/150. His range is absolutely incredible and the runs he’s saving with it far outweigh his errors.
Wow! Just wow!
I don’t hate our chances in the 9th. JoPo, Sui, Melk
If Posada gets on it’ll probably be Jopo, Tex and Melk.
0-0
I’d imagine there is a better chance of Jopo, Matsui, Tex
If Posada get on it’ll prob be Sui, Melk, Tex
Melkman is Mister Walkoff this year.
this game sucks pretty badly
DFA everyone. Bring everyone up from the minors. The Yankees are the worst team in baseball for not winning every game in the season.
come on, how old are you?
I’d be shocked if he’s over 22.
(1-2)
Heh. 17.
*golf clap*
First of all you’re acting more immature than me and anyone can tell it’s a mock to you.
Second NICE argument by going on age. That just proves you can’t say anything more so you try to insult by age.
Though really you are in no position to talk.
EVERY post you made has something to insult every player on the team.
So stop being hypocritical, stop booing every player for everything because its goddamn annoying and then I’ll stop.
But if you continue to act like this garbage fan then why the hell can’t I?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fGQUKg8D6c
That is wrong on so many levels but funny as hell.
How many guys has A-Rod left on base?
5
D-rob, please don’t walk him.
Thanks
dick
I take that back. Nice pick.
He made up for it.
he didn’t hear you in time
Drob says:
NO SOUP FOR YOU IAN KINSLER!!!
Bring out the rally monkeys
11 pitch ab by santiago for Detroit. Now 2 on zero outs in the 9th… but they are still down by 5
Hey at least the ‘pen has done their part. I don’t know if it’s just me but it feels they’ve been doing better lately.
No Veras makes our bullpen look great.
Meh, now Nathan is gonna come in.
lol, woah, totally got confused there wrong team
Fucking first pitch was outside. Fuck you ump
hate to say, but it didn’t look bad to me really
looked outside on the tv, looked outside on gameday.
It was outside by a lot, according to gameday.
Wow, those are horrible calls
What the hell are you looking at Jorge?
Has 11pm reservations at Mo’s restaurant in New Rochelle.
Haha, IETC.
If Melky reaches, I hope Tex is ok.
Is Feldman that good?
Absolutely not, terrible game by the offense. But I guess it happens every now and then.
Thank you Andy. Hopefully Wanger wins us the series tomorrow afternoon.
Eh, not a horrible game. Just couldn’t come up with the big hit today
Well that was a bummer of a game. Hopefully Wang will pitch better than Andy did.
bad game all around. Can we let CC start tommorow?
Bad game all around? The pen did well, no? Isn’t that a HUGE plus considering where it’s been this season?
Crap. Tied in the east again.
Yanks offense should be ashamed of the way they played tonight, its not like they were facing Halladay.
Really? Ashamed? Why?
My fucking God. It’s one game. One!
Can’t score five everyday. That’s what it would’ve taken today. Being in an early hole changes the offense’s approach almost always.
positives from tonight are swisher, posada, tomko
Well, maybe Tomko earned a little respect from Joe. We’ll see him out there in a few days. D-Robber still needs to throw more strikes.
starting pitching dictates the game. andy was all over the place and was very lucky he only allowed 4 runs.
Decent day down on the farm. De La Rosa is the shit.
Does anyone think that Pettitte’s back had anything to deal with his terrible command?
Yes. He covered first on that play that Swish barely got to the base and looked AWFUL running. Also, he was clearly grimacing on it. No way he felt good coming into today. He should’ve passed on this start. Joe trusted him and he was obviously duped. Now we have Phil in the pen and CC is pushed back.
Jeez, you’d like to see them lock down the series win before we get into who knows what tomarrow with wang coming back
You’d like to see them go 162-0, but what’r ya gonna do?
Phillips thinks Hughes is gonna be the 8th inning guy. If that’s how he’s used from here on out, I’ll murder Girardi.
I can’t believe it. Phillips said that. I want someone to ask Phillips two questions.
1) Name all the 8th inning guys in the NL Central (hell pick any division) &
2) Rank your top 10 8th inning guys.
2:
Okajima
Saito
Papelbon (2 inning save)
Ramirez
Masterson
Delcarmen
Bard
Matsuzaka
Penny
Joba
There is something fishy about that list.
…Nope can’t see it.
I am guessing he will put Hughes on that list soon.
Michael Lewis is on The Daily Show right now.
Woah, Wilson Betemit DFA’d
