Does anyone think umpires should be evaluated, and penalized for a certain amount of missed or bad calls? You know the Yankees will be back to winning 100 games if so.
this is the most frustrating team ever! with the calls the ump is giving penny and the calls he isn’t giving sabathia i don’t see how the yankees are going to win this game.
I’ve always been a fan of CC, i watched a lot of games he pitched last year, you can tell he is frustrated at not getting calls he was last year… and it’s all because he’s a yankee.
Alright, the ump hasn’t been great but give me a break.
It’s not like he’s calling pitches in the other batter’s box a strike for Penny and calling pitches on the plate a ball for CC.
It’s just the BORDERLINE calls that CC isn’t getting. He’ll be fine. He’s a big boy. He’s pitching well. Penny is getting by on bullshit. We’ll punish him soon enough.
Fellas, the boys are 2 for 21 with RISP in this series. This is nuts. We were on fire on the way into this series. This has to be mental right? What the hell is going on.
I don’t know if this makes much sense, but why not try batting A-Rod before Tex just to try and get him rolling and then switch back to the normal order…
Of course Puke will complain everyone knows he has PERFECT recognition of the strike zone. He is a Red Sox after all and they practice that in spring training.
Seeing as how the Red Sox would like you to think that they’ve never taken a legitimate strike 3, I have to think that whining at the ump is an organizational strategy, with the goal of convincing the umps to give them more borderline pitches.
The Yanks have the same strategy. Other team’s fans think we get all the calls b/c we’re the Yankees, believe it or not. Have you ever seen Jeter strike out looking?
five hits runners in scoring position and we can’t score. thats how you know we’re going to lose. when you can’t do things to get a win your not going to win.
Oh come on really this is tiring already. I’d rather have Gardner not stealing replacing Matsui and Jorge in the basepath. I forget who he took over but I really don’t care unless it was another DP.
Nice play by Cano, but he reminds me alot of Jeter in terms of both seem to have MUCH better range to their backhand side than their glove side which is not the norm.
Still a brilliant decision to have Berroa on the roster. Why not a 3rd catcher so Posada could DH everytime he doesn’t start? But hey thats actually thinking for Yankee Front Office types.
Yup, its mental. This fcuking Red Sox team is in our head. This is ridiculous. Bad pitching, bad hitting and now bad fielding? You gotta be kidding me.
I think Girardi should start fining guys $5000 for every fundamental lapse they make. Not errors but stupid shit like Damon’s drop or Swisher getting doubled off or guys giving up and running to first like Steroitiz!
we’ve played bad defense, had errors on the basepaths, had horrendous pitching & poor hitting with RISP. just ONE of these could cost us a game especially against the red sox but in this series we’ve done NOTHING RIGHT
Zach, your optimism is greatly appreciated. But seriously, you need to take your tongue out of the Yankees ass and stop defending every single thing they do wrong or make excuses for everything. Its ok to be critical and a realist. That doesn’t automatically mean you’re a Yankee hater or a pessimist. And it also doesn’t make you their greatest fan for trying to defend everything.
No one said that. But I read through each one of your comments, and all you do is follow up with some smart-ass pseudo optimistic comment. Maybe you’re trying to impress everyone on the thread about what a super-fan you are.
I just have to let you know that the Yankees aren’t going to hire you or send you a gold star for defending everything they do wrong or providing sarcastic comments to other people’s posts. If you thought they were going to send you something, I’m sorry I had to break the news to you.
Do you see the posts I comment on? People flipping out because ball 1, people flipping out because red sox are in their heads, people flipping out because this team has no heart, etc.
its total bullshit, so instead of talking shit to me watch the game and have a rational conversation about the game not stupid ass comments people make
I could see the Phillies trading for Penny if they can’t get Peavy or Oswalt. They desperately need another starting pitcher and will be neck and neck with that Mets team til the end of the season.
guys, I am not giving up but are you watching the same game that I am watching where CC is pitching well and the Yankees are getting 5 hit shutout by Brad Penny, with no serious threats?
They do the things that are necessary to win. They move the runner over, they make the simple plays, and they fight for each other. They will themselves to victory or they can stay in the game long enough to come back in the end. They can stand a bad start because they have that outstanding bullpen from top to bottom.
Ravech’d
And ya know jus like ya said they do all the little things. They aren’t the most athletic guys but they play hard everyday. The guys like Youkilis and Pedroia and Varitek set the tone for that team and the rest of the guys follow. They are a well run organization and they show that you don’t need to spend a gazillion dollars to win a championship
The Yankees of course rely on high priced free agents that are all busts. I’d rather take Rocco Baldelli, John Smoltz and Brad Penny over CC Sabathia, AJ Burnett and Mark Teixeira any day.
Swisher is a bum. Cashman better start working the phone lines for an outfielder asap. Don’t give me that Nady crap either. His next throw in a real game will be his last.
This game is so frustrating that I want to see Lanny/Axl/Bo say their comments. They are actually more constructive than some posts I am seeing tonight.
this RISP problem boggles my mind…how can we be so bad for so long? last year we were really bad, and this year we’re not doing well…i tend to believe it’s a factor of luck for the most part, that over time your numbers w/ RISP should just about match your career numbers…
This is the most frustrating game ever!!!
I wonder if A-rod is suffering from the “I’m a slow starter” syndrome right now.
or maybe “I still need secondary surgery on my hip but thanks for being aware of the situation”
I’m already grinding my teeth and it’s the 3rd inning c’mon guys!
well, CC didnt get that called strike 3 to Alex once yet in Gameday…BULLSHIT!
What about ball 3 to Pedroia? Looked like a strike.
and I thought it was just me…someone agrees
that ball 3 was a similar location but was a ball for CC
So, leadoff man on each inning and no runs. Awesome.
Penny gets that call.
Does anyone think umpires should be evaluated, and penalized for a certain amount of missed or bad calls? You know the Yankees will be back to winning 100 games if so.
Yes, but the Yankees need to quit playing with their heads up their asses and adjust.
Having nothing to do w/the Yankees, I am all for a very standardized, highly enforced strikezone.
yeah, but will help some teams, and hurt some, it wouldnt hurt the yankees one bit.
No, it would absolutely help everyone. I think it’s stupid that both pitchers and hitters have to adjust their games around the umpire.
It seems the umpire has to really think about the Yankee strikezone or lack thereof and it’s like a automatic strike for the Sawx.
The bats will wake up before the 7th inning. 0-0
this is the most frustrating team ever! with the calls the ump is giving penny and the calls he isn’t giving sabathia i don’t see how the yankees are going to win this game.
Things I’ll never get tired of seeing: Pedroia failing.
Papelbon blowing a save is another one.
Joba throwing at Youk.
On a 2-3 count C.C induces pop up
I’ve always been a fan of CC, i watched a lot of games he pitched last year, you can tell he is frustrated at not getting calls he was last year… and it’s all because he’s a yankee.
Alright, the ump hasn’t been great but give me a break.
It’s not like he’s calling pitches in the other batter’s box a strike for Penny and calling pitches on the plate a ball for CC.
It’s just the BORDERLINE calls that CC isn’t getting. He’ll be fine. He’s a big boy. He’s pitching well. Penny is getting by on bullshit. We’ll punish him soon enough.
Fellas, the boys are 2 for 21 with RISP in this series. This is nuts. We were on fire on the way into this series. This has to be mental right? What the hell is going on.
combination of bad luck and bad play…50-50 imo
Maybe its the pitching. Give some credit.
2 stories like that and we think baseball matters that much.
How does a show involving Joe Buck get a tagline with the words “fresh” and “new” involved?
finally we got a call go our way!
gotta give props to CC for hanging in there while being squeezed
Finally got a damn call.
And another one.
HALLE-FUCKING-LUJAH
Didnt get that call earlier, crew chief yell at the ump over the break?
nope, must have been during the AB since CC got squeezed twice in the inning already
good job CC. get that zone working for you too
CC!!!!!! YOU ARE MY DUDE!!!
I just thought I saw Youkilis shed a tear.
I don’t know if this makes much sense, but why not try batting A-Rod before Tex just to try and get him rolling and then switch back to the normal order…
nah, dont wanna mess with what Tex has going. A-rod will get through it, he is a good hitter…that BABIP correction still hasn’t kicked in yet.
Of course Puke will complain everyone knows he has PERFECT recognition of the strike zone. He is a Red Sox after all and they practice that in spring training.
Give Carsten an Effing lead and this game is over.
enjoy racism and freezing rain in june? come to massachusetts!
its about this time of the year, CC gets the stone cold killer look in his eyes.
are you guys really surprised? I saw penny dominating us from a mile away
Less domination… more RISP fail.
3 innings does not a complete game make. Stop QQing.
He’s at 67 pitches in the third, hardly dominating.
I’d say we are beating ourselves.
we look pretty weak in front of him, its not like we’re hitting balls hard.
Hey at least we’re winning the CT Lottery drawing against the Red Sox. That’s way more important IMO.
Penny isnt getting that 100 tonight
Cano is really agitating me
That ball looked well struck. So it goes.
So it goes.
I love you.
I’m flattered, but you’re not my type.
Slaughterhouse Five?
49 pitches through 3 is alot, but he could still go a solid 7 innings.
for being employed by the Yankee owned tv network flaherty has gotta be the biggest redsox asskisser going.
but they are soooo good how can you not be a fan of them???
Cano is NOT a #5 hitter…
yea its time for him to flip with Posada. Girardi likes the alternating lineup but Cano is slumping big and Arod can be pitched around
Yeah, but what about when Jorge has a day off?
Swisher? Melky? Matsui? Swisher is hitting the best out of that group and I don’t have much faith in him right now to be honest..
damn, the Yanks have had only one groundout all game
OMG A BORDERLINE CALL WENT AGAINST THE SOX!!! THE UMPS ARE TOTALLY OUT TO GET THE YANKS!!!!
eh i wanna see it more often, then it might even out
Penny didnt get that call, and that was closer than the 10 he got before… this looks better.
Later in the season we will laugh about Swish’s ridiculous baserunning gaffes. But tonight that shit is not funny at all.
When does Swish have a bad AB?
When he does that..
Strikeout doesn’t constitute a bad AB
I’m used to them making fun of Kay’s head while we’re winning, while losing… it’s not as funny.
Seeing as how the Red Sox would like you to think that they’ve never taken a legitimate strike 3, I have to think that whining at the ump is an organizational strategy, with the goal of convincing the umps to give them more borderline pitches.
+1
yea, it puts fear into the umps but if the yanks ever even hint at complaining, they will get squeezed even more next time.
The Yanks have the same strategy. Other team’s fans think we get all the calls b/c we’re the Yankees, believe it or not. Have you ever seen Jeter strike out looking?
Everyone complains from time to time, just everyone on the Sox does it, every single time. Maybe they don’t do it when they’re playing other teams?
Yes, because everybody knows that the more you complain to the umpires the more calls you get
See, this is the part I can’t figure out — either it’s an organizational strategy, or the team happens to employ a lot of talented crybabies.
Its an ump conspiracy. Them and ESPN are at it again, huh???
A sarcasm detector . . . now there’s a real useful invention.
standing O for Pedroia
grit gem!
How does such a small guy have so much range?
BUNT!
Everyone’s fawning over that play by Pedroia but throwing that ball was a bad choice.
Brad freakin Penny? Really??? Brad Penny?? WTF??????????
seems he has range, but playing that far back and close to the bag…
Awful camerawork by YES there.
great range by green
Big at-bat now……and its Cervelli up.
That looked exactly like the “base hit” that the Sox got vs. Wanger yesterday.
I vote for trying Cano in the 2 hole again, the day he was in the 2 hole he had a HUGE game.
Jeter
Cano
Damon
Teix
Arod
Posada
Matsui
Swisher
Cabrera
nah, i like him in 6th, where he is at his best
lowell is a statue
dont hit it at the statue
cmon frankie
the little engine that could:
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_harp.....edroia.jpg
Come on Cevelli, get the big hit.
Work that count Cervelli.
Man we are finally getting things going!
Live by the soft ground ball, die by the soft ground ball.
cervelli’s was hard hit.
Red Sox to do List.
1. Get Lucky
2. Be Racist
3. Cry to the umps for 100 years
ietc
mam, they do that every game!!! such a good fundamental team
if lowell and matsui collided, they would both shatter like SLJ in unbreakable
This game is so much more frustrating than last night’s or the game against Bekcett.
five hits runners in scoring position and we can’t score. thats how you know we’re going to lose. when you can’t do things to get a win your not going to win.
nah, they got this
unbelievable
2 for 22 in RISP. That’s not possible with this offense.
its possible when the hitters decide to swing at schlop
actually its 2-23, but yeah I see what you mean
New rule:
The Yankees are allowed to pinch run any player they want with Brett Gardner as many times as they want, as long as that player is on first.
It would eliminate our lack of hitting with RISP and we’d still score plenty of runs.
All we do is pinch run Gardner who doesn’t steal.
stupid
Oh come on really this is tiring already. I’d rather have Gardner not stealing replacing Matsui and Jorge in the basepath. I forget who he took over but I really don’t care unless it was another DP.
He pinch ran for swisher.
Like swisher couldn’t have advanced to second on bunt? get real
look at the free hit wall out there… it’s so big… just dont hit it with a ball.
we should be owning this clown of a pitcher, not helping him out
All we’re doing is driving up Penny’s trade value
To be fair, Penny has looked good tonight. Good live fastball, locating it well, good curve and splitter.
That’s just how it’s been against the Sox this year.
On top of that we gave up a hr to Ortiz… Can the day get any worse
trust me, the yankees will break out of this!
how bout cano
nice play robbie
Cano to Pedroia: That’s how you do it, kid.
Pedroia back to Cano: Wanna hold my Gold Glove, or my ROY, or my MVP?
Cano’s Range > Pedroia’s safety Range
That goddamned lazy Dominican. I KNEW we should have traded him during the offseason…
And he’s always smiling.
he’s like a lazy pedroia
Cano flashing some leather
beat that PEDroia
Nice play by Cano, but he reminds me alot of Jeter in terms of both seem to have MUCH better range to their backhand side than their glove side which is not the norm.
If he could take a walk every once in awhile, he’d be a lefty-hitting Jeter, practically.
but but but robbie’s lazy and shouldn’t he be bringing his slump out to the field on defense!!
Because of this series, I’m running out of nails to bite.
Let’s hope they grow when we destroy the Mets.
CC is starting to heat up he will hold us down.
I thought Robbie didn’t dive for balls, at least that’s what Mike Francesca said today
Hunter Jones and Michael Bowden are flamethrowers
There ya go One-Nut, look stupid like u always should.
good lord, CC is mowing everyone down
Here’s hoping that whatever Wang is drinking is full of steroids.
Or “throw quality strikes” juice
i read someone last night say that the Yankees didnt have Wang working his legs out this offseason because of his injury. was that actually true?
I think. We had an article on how the did this during the offseason I believe.
I had heard the same, they told Bruney & Wang both not to work out the legs.
Yeah Cashman admitted to that in an interview.
yea I read that to, I think Cash and others told him not to.
man that doesnt sound right for a pitcher. obviously his injury was the reason but they couldnt expect him to come back with all his strength
Yeah. It’s really hard to fathom that a team wouldn’t know how to treat this injury.
Look at those numbers for Papi, why am I not surprised.
Best velocity of the year for CC – he’s touching 97-98 MPH.
Thats why I love you Jamal, every comment is a positive one from you!!!! LOL
Or just the most generous gun of the year.
The Yankees are PEDS to Ortiz
Still a brilliant decision to have Berroa on the roster. Why not a 3rd catcher so Posada could DH everytime he doesn’t start? But hey thats actually thinking for Yankee Front Office types.
wang is drinking, Unleash Hughes Juice
That just made me giggle so much.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME
hahaha too funny
oh WTF
Are you fuckin’ kidding me?
wow, are you kidding me
wow
…COME ON.
Jesus
This is just funny now.
You know what…. I’ve officially seen enough. We’re a fucking little league team out there. I hope eating pies at kangaroo court was fun.
Damon… you want to stay a yankee, and you… are replaceable.
no he’s not…
Every Red Sox player complains at a called strike 3
He didn’t lose it in the lights you mlb network idiots he just flat out dropped the ball.
Aww man that sucks
wtf damon….
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST CATCH THE DAM BALL.
Yup, its mental. This fcuking Red Sox team is in our head. This is ridiculous. Bad pitching, bad hitting and now bad fielding? You gotta be kidding me.
yeah CC is sucking tonight
CC doesn’t count. He’s superhuman. Haha. He has been the sole highlight of this series.
What a bust.
Relax, it’s 1-0.
and they didnt have 7 straight games with an error before they played boston
Don’t forget baserunning!!!
David Ortiz’s greatness made Damon drop it, standing ovation!
and ortiz’s fat ass only ends up on first- great job outa PAPIIII
Do the Yanks lead the league in runners stranded?
The fundamentals of baseball still missing from the Yankees. That is just NOT acceptable.
dude they had the longest errorless streak in the histroy of baseball… they will be ok defensively
I realize that but it means nothing when they have had at least 1 error every game since and stupid mental errors like getting doubled off second.
Well, this is what the Red Sox need to win. Can;t win a good game, need errors and luck.
wow make CC waste pitches
yeah those 3 pitches will come back to haunt him later
it could’ve been worse with the way its been going for us and those 3 pitches are still wasted nonetheless
unreal..just unreal. This team is like a really bad B horror movie right now.
They are not even that good.
At least the D picked up Johnny there.
Lucky, CC only had to throw three extra pitches.
Can any of the guys we drafted catch a fly ball?
Does this team have no focus?
DFA Damon?
only at fenway. the red sox really do get into the yankees’ heads. how else would you explain a good team losing to a bunch of scrubs?
Top of the order up for the Yankees, if not now than when damnit!!
2 extra pitches guys no big deal, we will score some runs this inning.
I hate everytime Fatcessa talks about the Sox bein in our heads but with some of the things that are happening, do you give it SOME credence?
No
No.
If we lose tonight, I do.
Francesa is loud mouth fat ass. Of course he would say some BS like that.
No. The media’s always looking to fit a narrative to what happened. Doesn’t mean it’s the case.
I’ll believe it if I hear it from the players/manager.
no
Imagine if the Yankees go from the longest errorless streak to the longest error streak.
What is the longest error streak?
i think Girardi needs to start benching players, embarass someone… other teams do it.
veterans already dont like Girardi, embarassing them is really going to help
These Yanks-Sox series really up the QQ factor in the comments section of game threads…
im actually surprised that didn’t come back to haunt us
Girardi should bench himself first and foremost
I think Girardi should start fining guys $5000 for every fundamental lapse they make. Not errors but stupid shit like Damon’s drop or Swisher getting doubled off or guys giving up and running to first like Steroitiz!
we’ve played bad defense, had errors on the basepaths, had horrendous pitching & poor hitting with RISP. just ONE of these could cost us a game especially against the red sox but in this series we’ve done NOTHING RIGHT
How bad are the White Sox that Podsednik is their starting CF now.
left fielder, and he’s not doing a bad job.
I laugh when u wrote that.
its still 1-0, lets get some runs here.
jeter’s getting on
=/
Penny kinda looks like Kevin from The Office
wakefield = creed
hahah, so true!
Jeter’s timing is off. He’s fouling off many good pitches to hit he’s seen this series.
another groundball to pedroia, CMON
woopos, not sure why it posted here.
i’m sick and tired of seeing groundballs or lazy flyballs.
Zach, your optimism is greatly appreciated. But seriously, you need to take your tongue out of the Yankees ass and stop defending every single thing they do wrong or make excuses for everything. Its ok to be critical and a realist. That doesn’t automatically mean you’re a Yankee hater or a pessimist. And it also doesn’t make you their greatest fan for trying to defend everything.
I like your mature response to my optimism.
But oohh no the red sox are in their heads!!! we’re never going to win ever!1! ahhh we’re screwed
No one said that. But I read through each one of your comments, and all you do is follow up with some smart-ass pseudo optimistic comment. Maybe you’re trying to impress everyone on the thread about what a super-fan you are.
I just have to let you know that the Yankees aren’t going to hire you or send you a gold star for defending everything they do wrong or providing sarcastic comments to other people’s posts. If you thought they were going to send you something, I’m sorry I had to break the news to you.
Do you see the posts I comment on? People flipping out because ball 1, people flipping out because red sox are in their heads, people flipping out because this team has no heart, etc.
its total bullshit, so instead of talking shit to me watch the game and have a rational conversation about the game not stupid ass comments people make
I could see the Phillies trading for Penny if they can’t get Peavy or Oswalt. They desperately need another starting pitcher and will be neck and neck with that Mets team til the end of the season.
I criticize a bit while being optimistic
we will bring the winning run to the plate!
Damon usually makes up for his mistakes
thats how u make up for it Johnny.
I’m in awe of the Mets. How did that hack lineup beat the RS??
Mets play very well against good teams. They have the grit-gamer mode
omir santos
i am predicting the yankees have a huge 5th or 6th inning
better hope for the 6th
5 hit shutout by Fat Penny. Sad.
I love the 94 MPH breaking ball.
Penny’s trade value is going through the roof tonight.
no its not, he’s a 5th starter- what team looking to make the playoffs is going to give up something for penny?
we can’t score against penny is this team serious?????
This is just an example of a gritty, gutty, under the radar, low risk – high reward signing beating out the Yankees overpriced free agents.
/ESPNd
/ Karl Ravech’d
Oh shit no. ESPN will definitely be saying this.
They are winners.
Yankees good inning is the 7th inning. All im lookin forward to right now… unless Tex or A-Rod Bomb one!!
Penny in line to start the All-Star Game. If not him than Wakefield for sure.
Theo is going to squeeze this performance for every last drop of leverage to trade Penny for a big hitter.
I hope thats sarcasm, I’m sure a lot of GMs are lining up to give any a big hitter for Brad Penny
Buchholz should be in the All-Star game based on his minor league numbers and his no-hitter two years ago.
this is just sad, i can already view the NY post headlines in my head.
C.C. BUST, ORTIZ TORMENTS THE YANKEES AGAIN.
YANKEES WHO? RED SOX NATION SWEEPS THE YANKEES OUT OF TOWN
Kay cracks me up, “its an official game”, like if fucking matters.
This keeps up the Yankees are going to have to change the bat in their logo to a broom.
it does matter, RAIN is in the forecast.
It does fucking matter.
If the game rains out we lose without a chance of coming back.
guys, I am not giving up but are you watching the same game that I am watching where CC is pitching well and the Yankees are getting 5 hit shutout by Brad Penny, with no serious threats?
No serious threats? they’ve had people on in every inning.
And aside from Jeter going to 3rd in the first inning who else has.
Swisher leads off with a double, Grandpa Matsui walks – next hitter out, then DP
3rd – single, SO, FO, SO
4th – FO, SO, Single, Single (still not at 3rd) GO
5th – GO, GO, FO
WHERE is the serious threat? that there have been 3 runners total that have made it to second base?
it doesn’t help being 0-6 with RISP
That’s depressing that the yanks can get SO for 5 innings by Brad Penny. U wanna bet his next start, Penny gives up 7 ER in like 3 innings.
We’re not hitting is curve. They’re right down the middle but no one is swinging. Jeter did though.
Why can’t this team get a hit with risp?
2 for 22 with risp in the series. That is just pathetic.
Chances are this will correct itself in the next series.
The law of averages will have us dominate the Mets.
Better hope so, NY Press will have a field day if the Yankees look this bad against the Mets.
Is it me, or do the Yankee bats struggle when CC is on the mound?
He’s getting 5.08 runs of support per game so, yea, it’s just you.
They’ve score 5.08 runs a game for him this year, not counting tonight because its obviously not over. They scored 3 runs or less 4 times
So it’s just me some of the time – LOL.
The Yankees are cursed
no aggressive swinging. Girardi too busy trying to get a runner on to Bunt.
So today’s scapegoat is Girardi?
we lost already?
Didn’t you hear the new rule? Whenever the Red Sox score we lose despite the inning they are in.
you mean pinch run gardner and then bunt him over to 2nd?
Nice DP.
alright finally a DP.
Could it be that our bats are trying to do too much by maybe swinging for HRs everytime to get a lead?
It doesn’t help that our pitchers put us in a deep hole (except CC).
We can’t beat good teams
So is Boston & Philly the only good teams we’ve faced this year?
I would think the Tigers, Angels, and Rays are good teams. But I think he was sarcastic.
Toronto
Today’s scapegoat… Suicide squeeze attempt.
Nice job Pete Abe:
UPDATE, 8:37 p.m.: Embarrassing moment for Damon there. Too bad he didn’t catch it, Ortiz would have gotten another curtain call for making contact.
They do the things that are necessary to win. They move the runner over, they make the simple plays, and they fight for each other. They will themselves to victory or they can stay in the game long enough to come back in the end. They can stand a bad start because they have that outstanding bullpen from top to bottom.
Ravech’d
And ya know jus like ya said they do all the little things. They aren’t the most athletic guys but they play hard everyday. The guys like Youkilis and Pedroia and Varitek set the tone for that team and the rest of the guys follow. They are a well run organization and they show that you don’t need to spend a gazillion dollars to win a championship
The last paragraph is Kruk
And the Sox nut in my mouth and it tatse good.
Ravech’d
We get a call!
Lol Pedroia crying.
sit down midget
It’s good to see CC get these borderline calls.
let’s get some runs so everyone stops bitching
Pedroia… crying again… surprised…
Little Dustin is such a fighter, no strike out is ever a strike out in his mind.
Sox players complain alot
thats not borderline, red sox used to watching penny get balls called strikes.
This is the inning!
Maybe next inning because Penny is probably out.
+1
Kevin Long… does he need a hug.. or a beating?
neither.
Brad Penny is the epitome of a workhouse…..Unlike the overpaid Sabathia
-Ravech’d
why is flaherty drooling over penny?
Drooling? He’s been good. What the hell is he supposed to say, he’s being fair.
Because he was the third best free agent signing, trailing only John Smoltz and Rocco Baldelli
dont forget Saito
The Yankees of course rely on high priced free agents that are all busts. I’d rather take Rocco Baldelli, John Smoltz and Brad Penny over CC Sabathia, AJ Burnett and Mark Teixeira any day.
So, he’s not being a yankee bias announcer, that make him a drooler.
theres a difference between bias and applauding every pitch a guy makes
He’s not doing that.
Which he hasn’t =/
He’s actually hit the corners which our first two starters of the series couldn’t do. Mute the game for all we care.
The Yankees must not be seeing the ball too well out of Penny’s hand ’cause it seems like their timing is really ‘meh’ tonight.
arod is killin us, i dont think he has a hit all series
Arod w/o one fucking hit this series.
Why do all the Yankees seem to think that they can swing at pitches that are shoulder high?
standing ovation for Bay. What a genius.
There’s a Cano sighting…go figure, a hit with no men on
Wow, Pedroia didn’t dive for diving’s sake?! Is he okay!?
ofcourse cano gets a base hit now
unreal.
Because this situation is the same exact ones as all the previous ones.
I’m going to play Enter Sandman repeatedly, until Mo comes into the game…
hope it works…i’ll try it too
Yeah, because the issue this game has been the pitching . . .
i dont think you got it, he’s waiting and hoping for a lead for Mo
come on swish. you’ve taketh away, now giveth
MARK MY WORDS
Yanks bring tying run to the plate tonight.
IETC
ietc
they’ve one up’ed that, bringing the winning run to the plate!
I never thought I would see the “Yankees” owned by the Red Sox in my lifetime. It is kinda funny.LOL.
Apparently you were “born” in November 2004.
91 MPH slow curve by Penny.
Another 91 MPH sow curve by Penny, this one in the dirt.
Put him in the 8th.
Someone needs to actually swing the bat.
Ah well almost good analysis ken, u were close.
can godzilla come through?
Nope!
Great confidence for your team when the AB isn’t over. I hope Matsui sends his foot through you’re mouth.
If it means tying the game I hope so too. But he is old and slow.
thanks Nick.
Swisher is a bum. Cashman better start working the phone lines for an outfielder asap. Don’t give me that Nady crap either. His next throw in a real game will be his last.
just a bloop, please
cmon Matsui…another RISP opportunity!
This game is so frustrating that I want to see Lanny/Axl/Bo say their comments. They are actually more constructive than some posts I am seeing tonight.
dude thats so sad, don’t feed the trolls.
can’t turn on a brad penny fastball… more annoying than i thought.
lets hope they trade penny and smoltz fucking sucks.
penny has kinda sucked outside of this game
Uhm did Sox fans think that was a strikeout already?
Hideki the bucket-stepper.
Why do they cheer foul balls in Boston?
positivity
Matsui, please step toward the pitch
Aaaaaaaand here comes the Varitek dick sucking.
O god. An ode to Varitek.
Damn Penny dialed up that curve in the dirt to 94 MPH.
damn so close
why can’t we get lucky?
this RISP problem boggles my mind…how can we be so bad for so long? last year we were really bad, and this year we’re not doing well…i tend to believe it’s a factor of luck for the most part, that over time your numbers w/ RISP should just about match your career numbers…
but, maybe it is a matter of pressing…
Umm…that bounced over the base. Isn’t that a fair ball?
that’s what I thought.
penny has a big butt
FAIR BALL!!!!!!!!!!! MOTHER FUCKER!!!!
Another curve at 94. Who does he think he is, Strasburg?
Wow, Penny just added to the legend that is Theo Epstein. Theo knows that a great pitching,a solid bullpen and grit are the keys to victory.
more strike outs looking
2-24, what a JOKE
another runner left in scoring position.
shit man. 6 innings of shutout ball by Penny. unbelievable
Why am I not surprised.
thats not high at all. PSYCHE!!
i can’t take this…i really can’t
And Penny is out. We’re scoring 10 runs this inning.
