Jersey says:

This offense is pathetic.

 
Jake H says:

This is just getting pathetic.

 
Andrew says:

Pathetic. Why am I not surprised though? Here comes another sweep.

 
BigBlueAL says:

Remember when Pedro in 2004 said after another loss to the Yankees that he has to call them my daddy???? If the Yankees lose this game, Girardi might as well say the same thing.

nathan says:

they already are

 
 
Double T says:

was that changeup not high and outside??

 
teix is the man says:

I fucking HATE Manny Delcarmen.I hope we beat the living shit out of him

 
Jersey says:

Aaaaand the word of the night is “pathetic,” heh.

 
Matty Ice says:

Now CC knows how Johan Santana feels.

2 for 25 with RISP? Just pathetic.

Reggie C. says:

this is why CC likes to bat. The man is a self-helper.

 
Accent Shallow says:

Venezualan? Fiery? Possessing a monstrous changeup? Not especially large? Hating Youkilis? Being a former Twin?

 
 

I said it before….isn’t a ball that bounces over the bag fair?

BIG BOY says:

not against the redsox.

 
Bleakley says:

That ball was definetly fair. Bounced in fair territory before the bag then went over the bag. Fair Ball!!! Except at Fenway apparently.

 
giselle says:

thats what i thought, but nope. as long as it bounces foul down the line and the yankees are at the plate, it’s a foul ball.

 
 
pc69 says:

Bad call or not, got to protect the plate. Hard to do when you are bailing out at you start your swing.

I know I will catch all kinds of shit for this but Matsui is done and is liability to this team. Just DFA him and pay him his money.

Double T says:

I never recall him pulling off the ball so much. The pitchers have to be blind to throw him a ball that he can get to.

pc69 says:

Means his knee is worse than he is letting on. While gritty, it does no one any good.

 
 
pc69 says:

have no idea what that means

It means you said something monumentally stupid.

pc69 says:

saying Matsui is a liability is monumentally stupid or you just don’t like it?

pc69 says:

the letters still don’t add up to monumentally stupid.

 

Saying we should DFA Matsui is monumentally stupid.

pc69 says:

So you would rather keep him on the bench to provide an ocassional hit but more times than not ground out or fly out? He is no value in the outfield? Sorry, just doesn’t make sense.

(Comments wont nest below this level)

And who the fuck is going to DH aside from Matsui? Please, tell me who. You are aware that he is OPSing .813 right now, right? You really want the Yankees to eat 13MM bucks because Matsui had a bad night? Come on.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
JobaWockeeZ says:

Holy shit is every solution DFA? Jesus christ this is unbelievable. Even Lanny isn’t saying as stupid stuff today!

pc69 says:

No, just with matsui. Sorry, never been a big fan and hate to see him look so foolish at the plate.

 
 
 
Chris says:

Why is it that everyone give up on the Yankees as soon as they’re behind?

Zach says:

Because they have zero come from behind wins this season…

Bill R says:

against the Red Sox that is very very true

 
 
 
MattG says:

Did YES take a look at that Matsui ball? The only measely reply NESN gave it sure looked fair.

BigBlueAL says:

YES doesnt have a replay with a K-Zone type chart. Pretty stupid if you ask me considering every other broadcast in baseball has one.

MattG says:

Not the third strike. The ball that was called foul.

 
 
Bleakley says:

It wasn’t an Ortiz homer so they wont replay it.

 
 
e mills says:

that ball was fair

 
pat says:

Facebook please stop telling me to be friends with some weirdo named benjamin kabak

 
Conan says:

I wouldn’t DFA him – but Posada should be DHing tonight.

Chip says:

Or you could give a 37 year old catcher a night off in June

Double T says:

we will see some hip hip Jorge action at some point tonight…

 
 
 
YankeeScribe says:

With our best starter on the mound, we’re getting shut down by Boston’s 5th best pitcher. The baseball Gods are laughing at us. The Yanks are losing this game.

 
kunaldo says:

this is pa-….wait for it…-thetic. pathetic.

ay de mi

maybe they’re saving it the offense for papelboner??

 
Jay J says:

Don’t let Damon get near the ball.

JobaWockeeZ says:

OAKTAG. This is based on one error and the rest of his caught flyballs don’t matter? I give up today.

pat says:
JobaWockeeZ says:

Really then it would be a pretty stupid joke based on one error.

pat says:

I thought it was funny, i was thinking the same exact thing.

 
 
 
Zach says:

OH NO! wait he caught it

 
 
 
Lily says:

yea yankees don’t seem to be getting any calls while the red sox get every call. we can’t with runners in scoring position we foul off pitches we should hit and swing and strike out on ones we shouldn’t. i wooudn’t be shocked if cc fallls apart here

 
Yankees_Universe says:

So this is a payback from Offense to Pitching department. They are telling pitchers you sucked yesterday, today is our day.

JobaWockeeZ says:

Heh I actually enjoyed this.

 
 
Ant says:

Rewinding the DvR that Matsui ball definately went over the bag, shouldnt that be fair??

Bleakley says:

I love how YES doesn’t even take a look at it. Great job!

 
 
 
Andrew says:

Nice of the yankees to increase Penny’s trade value. Even if this team makes the playoffs, they are going nowhere.

Chip says:

Yeah, remember that undefeated Patriots team that nobody could possibly beat in the playoffs? Me either

 
 
BIG BOY says:

Arod and Cano need to wake up…

 
Accent Shallow says:

Can we stop freaking out about Brad Penny throwing 6 shutout innings? From all the whining that’s going on, you’d think Horacio Ramirez had just twirled a perfecto.

Sheesh.

 
Jay J says:

sabathia’s high fastball… same hieght as penny’s Strike 3 call on Matsui, except more plate… hmm

Bob Stone says:

CC has definitely been getting squeezed compared to Penny

 
 
MattG says:

Graphic on NESN: 900th career meeting between these teams at Fenway. Record thus far:

449-446-4.

Gol. 4 ties?

kunaldo says:

when it got dark back in the day?

 

Probably suspended games that never got finished.

 
Slu says:

Called because of rain after 5 and not necessary to continue?

 

The rules were different 100 years ago.

 
 
pat says:

Cervelli is the freakin man. I love that kid.

 
Jay J says:

strike 2… or not.

 
BigBlueAL says:

Hope Posada pinch-hits for Cervelli this inning.

Chip says:

It’s funny that it seems everytime this situation comes up and we all want Posada, Cervelli comes through

Chip says:
 
 
 
Double T says:
 
e mills says:

Leche delivering here

 
teix is the man says:

I hope the home plate umpire gets hit in the fucking nuts with a 94mph sabathia heater

yankeefan91 Arod fan says:
 
 
kunaldo says:

what do you think, posada to pinch hit??

Accent Shallow says:

It’s a 1 run game. Use him in the 9th, if necessary.

 
Dorian says:
 
 
Bleakley says:

I would like to see Justin Tuck take on Pedroia in a cage match.

JobaWockeeZ says:

Screw that I want to see Girardi take Pedroia on.

 
kunaldo says:

hahahahahaha that’s ridiculous dude

Pedroia the gritmaster flex FTW

 
Bleakley says:

Grit Gritner vs. Pedroia? I take Grit all the way.

 
 
dkidd says:

cc deserves a w

 
MattG says:

OK, so looking at these responses, I can see my MLB.com feed is a good five minutes behind.

I apparently have something from Cervelli to look forward to…

Accent Shallow says:

You get to look forward to him hitting second this inning.

JobaWockeeZ says:

CALLED IT DUDE!!!

 
 
Accent Shallow says:

For the record, that hadn’t happened yet.

Unless you can see the future, of course.

 
bizarrojamie says:

the mlb.tv is always at least 1 batter behind, tonight it seems to be even more than that. I’ve learned to only check twitter between innings in my broadcast.

 
 
Jay J says:

CC deserves a W and a bonus check.

 
Bill R says:

If we get shut out again against Brad Penny Im boycotting the Yankees for two weeks!

MattG says:

That would include RAB, right? See, there is always a bright side.

I keed.

Bill R says:

Looks like you dont get your wish!

 
 
handtius says:

you should do it anyway.

 
 
Manimal says:
Manimal says:

Ive been playing this game for like 3 innings now.

 
Bill R says:
teix is the man says:

Thats what she said!

 
 
 
BIG BOY says:

i wish the home and 3rd base ump get run over by a bus after the game.

JobaWockeeZ says:

Driven by an angered Matsui.

 
MattG says:

Mmm…I bet their families don’t.

 
 
e mills says:
 
yankeefan91 Arod fan says:

base hit for melky.

 
Bob Stone says:

Here we go – Let’s capitalize!!!

 
Jay J says:

Just hit it to One-Nut… Guy’s playing like he normally would without luck.

Pasqua says:
 
 
Chip says:

Wow, second pitch to Melky was in no way a strike. O well, he’s still on

 
bxpd says:

Has got to be a bunt.

 

So Ken, do you bunt here? what about you John, do you bunt? Good time for a bunt. Number 9 hitter is up, he should bunt. Bunt the tying run over. It’s a fundamental play, bunting. What do you think Singy, time for a bunt?

Pasqua says:
 
 
Jay J says:

if girardi calls bunt… and he did.

 
pc69 says:

Ok, someone explain OAKTAG. I am missing how it means what Matt said it means when it is really a flexible thick paper like poster board.

 
yankeefan91 Arod fan says:

Melky steal and den cervelli bunts.

handtius says:
 
 
Zach says:
 
yankeefan91 Arod fan says:

nice hit and run.

 
BIG BOY says:

FUCK YES CERVELLI!!!

 
Manimal says:

ATTA BOY CERVELLI!

 
BigBlueAL says:

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 
Jake H says:
 
 

THAT’S WHY YOU DON’T BUNT!!!

Dorian says:

Mike, that sounds like something Mike Francesa would say. Just because it works doesn’t mean that it’s a successful theory.

Besides there was still some small ball in there.

It’s not that it worked, it’s all the times bunting didn’t work. It’s been proven that you’re more likely to score more runs in an inning with a runner on first and no outs than with a runner on second and one out.

 
 
 
Jay J says:

CISCO!!! MELKY!!! CERVELLIFOR MVP/PRESIDENT/MANCRUSH

 

Did that seriously just happen….?

 
pat says:

Chip Called it.

 
Bill R says:

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

 
DGeezy says:

HOLY SHIT!!! that worked excellently!!

 
Reggie C. says:

Youth shall be served !

 
bxpd says:

Wow…that took serious guts by JG.

 
pc69 says:

Youth is the answer!

 
handtius says:

now everyone who bitches and moans that it’s over can please leave.

 
Bob Stone says:
 
BigBlueAL says:

I was about to rip Girardi for not pinch-hitting Posada and letting Cervelii bunt.

 
dkidd says:

ballsy call

love it

 
Jay J says:

FUCKIN YEAH BABY!!!

 
JobaWockeeZ says:

And laughably we didn’t hit with RISP.

 
miles says:

so this is what they meant by “billy martin without the baggage.” good call, joe.

 
Andrew says:

Keep your fingers crossed everyone. Lets hope a) they can take lead and b) hold the damn lead!

 
Jobamania says:

ITALIAN STALLION

 
pc69 says:

someone said earlier that the law of averages would kick in… Hope they are right and that was it.

 
Jay J says:

I am not turning off Enter Sandman…

 
e mills says:

I hope Girardi learned a lesson about not bunting every time there is a man on first

 
BigBlueAL says:

Of course Cervelli’s hit didnt come w/RISP. LOL

 
bxpd says:

Should we bunt Jeet?

 
Bob Stone says:

The Sox hurt themselves by playing in for the bunt this inning

 
Yankees_Universe says:

have to score more here and let CC finish the game…don’t trust even MO right now…

Zach says:

93 pitches and 3 innings to go, not going to happen

Jobamania says:

93 is more liek 63 for C.C.

 
 
Bob Stone says:

CC is at 93 pitches – so he can continue

 
Andrew says:

Your being silly man. Rivera is fine.

 
 
Bill R says:

Is Mo good for 2 if need be?

Jobamania says:

C.C. is going 8

 
 
Jay J says:

In MO we Trust… don’t you use money?

 
Raf says:

another 93mph breaking ball, the YES gun is out of control

 
nmc says:

no sandman tonight. CC all the way.

Bob Stone says:

I’d love to see a complete game

 
 
Teh Melky Teh HOFer says:
 
Mike HC says:

this ump has been consistently bad for everyone.

 
Dorian says:

OMG I almost forgot. THE GREATEST BULLPEN OF ALL TIMES.

 

How are we hitting Manny del Carmen!?!?!?!?!? Duh guy could be a closah on anothah team!!!!!!

Raf says:

ietc. ive heard that so many times.

Chip says:

Same deal with Bard

 
 
 
Yankees_Universe says:

Mike Francesa and Joel Sherman just threw remotes at tv….

 
Jobamania says:

what did jeter just swing at

 
Double T says:

damn, C’mon JD atone for your mistake!

 
yankeefan91 Arod fan says:

Jeter are u serious u could move him to third.

 
BIG BOY says:
 
BigBlueAL says:

Damnit Jeter. I mean fuck cant even hit a groundball to 2b or 1b Jesys Christ.

handtius says:

Man, I know! It so easy to hit the ball exactly where you want to! Man what a jerk!

 
 
pat says:

I wish delcarmen tried to throw it there was nobody on the bag to throw it to.

 
Andrew says:

Like I said earlier, lets hope they can take the lead here.

 
John says:

might as well have bunted Jeter

just kidding

 

So the pitch before he grounded out, Jeter should’ve CRUSHED. Right over the damn middle.

 
Pasqua says:

Alright, who stole the real Derek?

 

How in the hell was that a strike?

 

Has anyone else noticed that Damon’s AVG is done to .288?

 
 
Mike HC says:

This should be the last time this ump ever calls a game behind the plate again

 
BigBlueAL says:

Damon going to hit the Pesky pole.

Chip says:

Damon Tex going to hit the Pesky pole.

Chip says:
 
 
handtius says:

Maybe Tex instead?

 
 
Dorian says:

Has Michael Kay ever played baseball or does he just mooch of all the expertise of the great (not you flahrety) ballplayers he sits next to?

 
yankeefan91 Arod fan says:
 
Bill R says:

AXL has texted to me to tell you guys that he says we will not score again this inning.

sarcasm alert, or do you know him personally?

Bill R says:

No he’s a close friend of mine

 
 
pat says:

dude give it up the more u bring up his name the more stupid shit he says.

BigBlueAL says:

We have turned him into a RAB celebrity.

 
 
Bill R says:

I hope he’s wrong!

 
 
Double T says:

alright, rally time!!

 
BigBlueAL says:

Oh Boy. This is it!!!!

 
Reggie C. says:

Teixeira’s moment coming up.

 
Jay J says:

i’ll take 3 tickets for the M-Tex flight at 9:40 departure.

 
e mills says:

are there any sane broadcasters? this guy on MLB network said Delcarmen just pitched around Damon…lol

Pasqua says:

I’m convinced that broadcasting is the easiest gig in the world. It’s next to being a weatherman. You can say whatever you want and be accountable for none of it.

 
 
Jobamania says:

look how excited posada looks

“COACH YOURE SENDING ME IN?!?!!?!!!”

Double T says:
 
 
Teh Melky Teh HOFer says:

Tex-Rod coming up! Lets Go Yanks!

 
Raf says:

no f’in way that was a strike

 
BigBlueAL says:

WTF how is that pitch a strike.

 
Double T says:

should be 2-1 c’mon ump

 
Jobamania says:

another atrocious called strike

 
YankeeScribe says:

Tex isn’t gonna see any good pitches. It’s time for A-Rod to get a hit

 

Just missed, Mike? Really?

 
Jay J says:

should be 3-1 count.

 
pc69 says:

same place as the curve…

 
Jobamania says:

well i hope it doesn’t come down to bases loaded 2 out and Cano up.

 
Mike HC says:

Aight. A-Rod time

 

A h & r would’ve gone badly there.

 
BigBlueAL says:

Its up to Arod.

 
DGeezy says:

we need you AROD…COME THRU!..COME THRU!!

 
Double T says:

Is Johnny Damon playing center field for the Sox again?

 
Accent Shallow says:

Let’s see if A-Rod can make himself useful.

 
handtius says:

Man, he’s hit bomb to center at least 2 times tonight. Bad brake.

That one just missed the sweet spot.

 
 

Hey, so, um, let’s fuckin’ go, Alex?

 
yankeefan91 Arod fan says:
 
bxpd says:

Thank goodness Swisher wasn’t on base. Let’s A-rod!

 
pat says:

If arod swings at the first pitch this will be a bad AB

pat says:
pat says:

I LOVE BEING WRONG

 
 
Dorian says:
 
 
Reggie C. says:

a single. just give us a single.

 
DGeezy says:

is it just me or is arod swinging at a ton of 1st pitches these days?

 
Andrew says:

Arod due for a hit?

 
JobaWockeeZ says:

STEAL HOME CERVELLI! Can’t rely on hitters hitting with RISP.

 
John says:

that’s 2 balls well hit deep to CF by Tex

 
zzzzzz says:

i feel like i haven’t seen a yankee home run over the green monster since 2005.

Pasqua says:

I keep flashing back to Monster homeruns hit by Yanks and then realize they were actually all hit by the Rays in the ALCS.

 
 
Bill R says:

here comes the rain of course!

 
Jobamania says:

This rain would be perfect if giambi was at the plate

 
John says:

cmon RISP correction!

 
Raf says:

alright lets go

 
Jay J says:
 
Teh Melky Teh HOFer says:

Arod moment. Come on Arod!

 
JobaWockeeZ says:

A-ROD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hells yeah, bitches.

 
Raf says:

fuck yeah. that was ripped

 
DGeezy says:

FUCK YESSS!!! AROD!!!!

 
Mike HC says:
 
Jobamania says:

HELL YEAHHHHHHH AROD

 
Accent Shallow says:

This Rodriguez fella, he’s pretty good, no?

 
e mills says:

BOOM Red Sox BITCHES!!!

 
Double T says:
 
yankeefan91 Arod fan says:

big hittttttttttttt righttttttttttt babiiiiiiiiii nicee.

 
Jay J says:

A-GOD!! A-GOD!! A-GOD!!

 
Double T says:

but teh fans say hes on teh roids!

 
 
BigBlueAL says:

Fuck Yeah!!!!!!!!

 
handtius says:
 
pat says:

MOTHERFUCKING FUCK YES SDNJDNSDNASDASFDASDFFFAGFAVSGFD

 
Yankees_Universe says:

ARROOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

 

Slap hands! Slap hands!

 
ARX says:

Hell. Fucking. YES.

 
Bill R says:
 
Bob Stone says:

Hot Shit!!!! A-ROD!!!

 
BIG BOY says:

HAHAHAHAHA THANKS FOR CHALLENGING HIM

 
BIG BOY says:

HAHAHAHAHA THANKS FOR CHALLENGING HIM

 
Jobamania says:

that was was just a bullet. if it had any height it would have been gone

 
dkidd says:

ahhhh

worth the wait

 
Jay J says:

i would’ve paid him 31 million a year, that’s just me

 
Bob C says:

HE took steroids

 
handtius says:
Bill R says:

hahaha I’ll let him know you give your warmest regards

 
handtius says:

sorry…don’t know how this posted…I thought I canceled it and reposted it more appropriately down below.

 
 
Andy Stankiewicz says:

That was a thing of beauty.

 
John says:

YAY RISP CORRECTION!

I LIKE THIS UNCLUTCH OVERPAID DUDE!

 
Pasqua says:

Garbage time…AGAIN.

 
Jeremy says:

That made me yell “FUCK YOU RED SOX!” at the TV uncontrollably!

 
Nady Nation says:
 
handtius says:
 
Blackdragon905 says:
 
YankeeScribe says:
 
Chip says:

Aaaaand, rainout

 
Andrew says:

We should release A-Rod (insert joke here).

 
dkidd says:

maybe they shouldn’t have drilled him in the back?

 
Teh Melky Teh HOFer says:

UNCLUTCH Arod!!! Ow yeah!

 
giselle says:

the red sox bullpen is perfect. there must be a glitch in the matrix.

 
Raf says:

but Delcarmen could be closing for about 25 teams in the league!!!!

 
Jay J says:

wonder what the red sox feel like… there’s no luck for them right now…

John says:

nah we earned this bitch

 
 
JobaWockeeZ says:

Now we need CC and perhaps Mo to end the game for us.

Jeremy says:

CC will go for the CG.

 
 
Nick L says:

so the “Arod Sucks” people have now changed their minds

 
Jay J says:

did they give Delcarmen a standing O? probably… right?

 
Dorian says:

I almost forgot. THE GREATEST BULLPEN OF ALL TIMES.

 
pc69 says:

MATY – response to your who will DH. You will have to find someone or Joe learns to mix with Swisher, Posada, Damon, Cabrera, bring up someone by also releasing Berroa or find a cheap one. Just because every team uses some over weight, out of shape, or old aged hack as a DH does not mean it has to be.

Sorry, but they have to figure it out. As far as eating 13 million, that is their fault for over paying, just like they over paid by 1 year too many for Posada; also include ________ fill in the blank.

 
MattG says:

Did anyone see what A-Rod was doing with the bat between the 5th and 6th pitches? NESN had a nice shot–and it is sure to end up on YouTube with a fine 70’s sound track.

Love your bat much, Alex?

 
YankeeScribe says:

This Red Sox bullpen isn’t so tough

 

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
