Time to shake off the dust of the banhammer.
Just wondering, how can you ban a person? Does it not allow their email address back on or what?
We can do it many ways. Email, handle, IP, you name it.
gotcha
31 flavors of ban hammer.
“anyone that curses at another commentor is banned immediately”
hmm, i wonder who that could be. U? W? hmm
That’s pretty funny.
that comment was directed at V!!! ahahaha
He’s insufferable
You can’t expect too much out of the bullpen when CC doesn’t get out of the 2nd.
Tomko showed why he doesn’t need to be in the majors despite Cashman’s mancrush on him.
Posada could have prevented that run from scoring (Robertson, too) and Melky nails the lead runner most of the time.
D-Rob was screwed by the ump on the Hanley AB, we would have gotten out of this.
Relax, we’ve got two innings left with the top of our lineup coming up. This is certainly doable.
Let’s get some offense, s’il vous plait!
i would kill for a comeback here
Guys, you do know, it’s quite difficult to win a game when ur best pitcher is knocked out after an 1.1 IP?
ut oh freddy made a bubu
What was the on-field delay?
Can we get nunez i love his stuff hell be perfect for are bullpen.
for?
i wish i knew what would it take to get him
lol then we should get Pujols. he’d be awesome for our lineup.
I believe he’ll be arb-eligible for next season, so maybe he would be available soon.
lets go yankees
Game threads this year have been a minefield, with the occasional exception of blowout wins.
No winning in general makes a lot of people quiet.
Then a bomb comes in when we lose.
I leave you people alone for ONE second and look what happens!
i hope they take away the 2 runs they scored.
Is the person posting as V always this angry and cursing at everyone?
Knock it off with this. We all want this flame war to end and you’r no better if you’re going to keep referencing him.
Dude this is the first time I have posted and I am just asking. I know it is the internet but what happened to civility?
Good grief, Charlie Brown!
And the end result of this would most of the time the person you’re asking about cursing and flaming you because of this. He’s not posting, this flame war is ridiculous and watch the game. Whether you just posted is irrelevant because you could have started a brand new fight.
Wow! The world has changed.
Yes.
yes
What is the significance of the situation now?
Damn, hoping the Marlins had to forfeit or something.
my god could you imagine if umpires were responsible for world events my god they take forever and get everything wron
wrong
sorry
Ah National League baseball.
Yup…
BOOO. This delay is longer than replay delays.
Clearly, this is ruining the integrity of the game.
hahaha joe girardi makes me laugh
i thought girardi was stoopid and diint know how to manag teh gaem of the beisbol
We are just going through a tough stretch here. We are just struggling to inferior teams and Nick Greens hit a walk-off for dem Sox today. We’ll get it soon
I didn’t know that.
Nick Green? Man…
That homer would have been a foul ball in every other stadium. Stupid Pesky Pole.
Exactly, they are having some luck while we hit a rough patch.
I remember a time when they lost 5 straight games and everyone thought they were done. Then they win 9 straight. People need to calm down.
whats goin on?
the marlins manager screwed up a line-up change, should have burned a player, and Girardi is calling them on it. There’s an umpire conference and it looks like Girardi is going to win the argument.
thanks
If De Aza is allowed to stay in, they have to play the rest of the game under protest.
honestly how can he possibly be allowed to continue
Girardi should get fired up and get thrown out of this one. What are they, 3-0 when he does that?
hell i am already throwin a fit at my own house
seriously, can anyone tell me what the delay is for?
never mind
what does protesting the game do?
Honestly, nothing. If the play under protest is ruled to have impacted the outcome of the game, they’ll make the teams replay from that point on, but I can’t remember the last time that happened.
thanks mike
Apparently, they messed up with the lineup. De Aza was supposed to be in the field in place of Coghlan but then became ineligible once Nunez threw a pitch. Gonzalez tried to convince them that he meant to put De Aza in but it was too late so he had to put Hermida in.
come one yankees lets gets sum runs here.
Let’s see if they can make something happen . . .
the sad thing is chances are we just waited 10 minutes for absolutly nothing
thats not true at all
It’s ridiculous that it took ten minutes for four umpires to figure out that lineup snafu. Just pathetic.
Had he protested the game, what would that have done?
at least 2runs here yanks wtf.
The delay has really cooled off Nunez.
haha
I read thru the earlier posts and was surprised nobody questioned why Aceves was pulled after only 2 2/3 and 45 pitches. I thought he was a long guy?
Girardi was just trying to delay the inevitable.
Mike may have to ban himself
“I swear”
uhoh Mike
Yankees teams after 69 games:
2009: 38-31 or maybe 39-30
2007: 35-35
2001: 39-30
2000: 37-32
1997: 39-30
Still plenty of time. I implore you to enjoy watching this team. They are a good one, even if some of you don’t think they are.
I’m frustrated because when I’m finally able to watch the whole game, they’re playing like…this.
Good point, I’m coming in off the ledge but I’ll keep the window open just in case
Thank you for this. Now, when I want to appreciate my team I have evidence with which to support my optimism.
That delay sure helped…
all that to go down 1-2-3
A+++
The Yankees have a fine bullpen, any other bullpen gets exposed in almost 8 innings of work. They usually work 3-4 innings, or in CC’s starts only 1-2 innings.
aaaaand we are down to cano, posada, and i forgot who else
A-rod
Look at the bright side, Cano cannot hit into a DP for the 3rd time in 4 games (I think)
If he grounded into a GIDP that would make it the 3rd time in 5 games. Close, but no cigar.
oops, thanks. forgot about ARod, so the DP still existed.
As his parting gift, Tomko should buy the team dinner for the loss. If not, he at least owes Ace some dinner after taking away the win and championship belt.
nice play
vintage jeter
i thought vintage jeter was hitting into a GIDP[/most of RAB
:facepalm:
I thought this was vintage Jeter?
http://www.terezowens.com/wp-c...../jeter.jpg
that could be vintage jeter too
Wow, nice stretch, Tex, to help Jeter out.
If we lose, it’s going to suck. I’ve already worked out so I don’t where to take my frustration out. I’m thinking about doing a second workout.
Yes, that was random.
Girardi is gonna get canned with another bad week
:facepalm:
So they took away the run originally charged to D-rob? His Era is down to 1.88
That’s fair imo. The first guy to score was Coke’s responsibility, and the second guy scored on Melky’s error.
I haven’t seen most of this game but I’m upset D-Rob gave up some runs.
Oh well.
unearned
1.2 IP, 4 SO, 0 ER
Oh they were unearned? I saw him strike a fool out whilst in Carvel then by the time I got to my sister’s w/the family, they were down 6-3.
So, it’s probably been mentioned, but there’s quite a few comments.
Was there any particular reason Girardi pulled Aceves out after just two and change?
He really looked phenomenal today. And doesn’t this organization have plans for him to be a starter? You yank him when he’s looked the best he’s looked all season and bring tomko in?
Tomko’s been released by his last three teams, including KC.
He hasn’t thrown more than 50 pitches in a long time. His arm wasn’t really stretched out enough to go any further.
He’s been working out of the bullpen for two months now, I don’t think he can do much more than 45 pitches anymore.
He’s a reliever for this season. They want him to be available later in the week.
But Aceves has been the closest thing to a LRP that the yankees have had in their bullpen all year.
They honestly don’t have anyone who can throw fifty + pitches in that pen? They’ve got like 3 bench players and 90 pitchers on that roster, and not more than 5 of them can pitch for more than a couple innings?
I’m not trying to sound like a dick, I honestly didn’t know that and am, come to think of it, not all that surprised.
D-rob’s stats:
1.84 ERA
23 K’s and a .157 AVG against in 14.2 innings
Awesome!
come on yanksssssssssssssssssssss
Lindstrom throws 99?
Pfft, on a bad day.
Thats his changeup.
Crousett-esqe?
He averages 96.4, so it’s pretty likely he can hit 99.
Arod just got toyed with.
When was the last inning the Yankees had a baserunner??
what a shitty month and a very bad week terribly frustrating
barf
as good as we were in the month of may, we’re just as bad in the month of june
our pitching has been average and adequate. its the offense that’s cost us games. take out our fiasco against johan, and the numbers look really really bad.
dis is great just great we lose to da nationals and now the marlins.
Wait until the last out.
What is that, 15 in row retired?
yezzur
A walk and a HR ties it, we’re not done as many people are thinking right now.
boy with 2 outs? this should be fun
uh, if melky gets on, we better see damon up there. screw waiting for the pitchers spot
I say Tomko deflated the offense’s motivation
now is getting preety interesting.
Tying run to the plate, Matsui to pinch hi … oh, wait.
The season is on the brink of collapse. We can’t beat Philly, can’t beat Washington, can’t beat Florida, needed a miracle to beat the Mets. CC is hurt, Joba is inconsistent, and nobody in the lineup is producing.
Two people need to go in order for us to turn it around before it’s too late- Brett Tomko and Joe Girardi.
No season is on the brink of collapse on June 21st.
Unless you’re already 10 games under .500.
Tying run at the plate! Keep the line movin’, Brett!
Apparently, my mother thinks that if Posada were faster, he could score on that hit of Melky’s. WTH?
what the FUCK is gardner doing up here? this is unreal
http://www.sadtrombone.com/
lol, don’t tell me you expected that
leave it to gardner to kill the rally.
this is where i wish we had the X man
Matsui would have been good here.
You were right, Mike.
Nevermind, go Gardner!
man i would love to see gardner walk and den a pinch hit grand slam.
cmon Grit…( I actually have no confidence in him for this spot whatsoever for some reason)
never mind…nice gritty
BRETT!
hmmm
holy shyt this is good.
HOLY FUCK, GARDNER COMES THROUGH
OH MY FUCKING GOD
WHAT THE HELL
Did not see that coming.
Heh.
Damn, I was wishing for a inside the parker!!!
I thought it was off the bat but credit to the Marlins for not messing up.
Let’s continue the rally, Damon.
OMG I thought maybe it couldve been an inside-the-park HR for a second.
I THOUGHT THIS GAME WAS OVAH!
Should they have sent Gardner? Ha ha
Baba ORiley time!
Wow. If only someone could reign in the throws of melky we’d be tied.
damon shoulda been sent home
woops i mean gardner
Nicest swing yet from Brett.
no confidence in damon here
dot.
he’s been ice cold
Let’s go, Johnny! Bring ‘im around!
comon damonnn
Wild-pitch.
I was about to agree with Mike’s post from the last thread, that they should have saved Matsui so he could pinch hit for Gardner.
Heh, Girardi lucked out. Nine times out of ten that comes back to bite him.
Completely agreed. Maybe in a parallel universe, Matsui goes yard. Still, not gonna complain.
And just like that, we’re one hit away.
gardy! he might be a borderline major league player, but he’s been a god send for the Yankees this year.
How in the world do you pull an 97+ mph fastball?
The same way you bunt a 97+ mph fastball.
tease
the crowd that is
Lindstrom is throwing gas
let gardner steal home
Lidstrom’s motion reminds me of Veras’s.
i though that was ready to go to the screen.
No confidence at all (WTF is wrong…IM trying my best, really) It’s gonna sting more because it could be another game lost by an error
oh my fucking god, jeter? oh god, i’m not sure how i feel about this situation.
Come on, Jeets. Show that clutch.
I hear you on that
Well, at least Jeter cant GIDP.
at least he can’t gidp
Damon drew a walk with a tying run on third? OMG what a bum!!! Where’s Nady!!!
Please dont let this be a tease!!
Quick poll….
Jeter does what?
PR for Damon? Odd.
so much stress, please jeter do not fail me
Captain clutch
First chance, have to send Pena to avoid Capt DP.
there’s 2 outs, DP not possible
holy shit, this is gonna be even sadder now if we lose
If only this had happened yesterday, we would have won already.
Can the captain be clutch
Oh, Derek.
captain clutch
lol jeter
Tailor made GIDP ball. He just walked the last batter, why take a pitch Jetes?
Of course, 1st ball swinging.
omh jeter wtf
Lindstrom walks the go ahead run on base and Jeter swings at the first pitch?
No kidding. I respect Jete’s judgement but swinging at a first pitch from a guy who can barely get his breaking ball over the plate? Not too thrilled.
what the FUCK jeter, ugh. fucking unreal, i hate him in the leadoff spot, more times than none it bites us in the ass since he has no clue how to fucking work a count
come on first pitch swinging captain clutch he is not right now fuck
Oh well.
Jeter must’ve thought there was only 1 out…he’s tryin to ground into aanother double play.
WOW!!! I knew it..now it just stings more
omg jeter wtf
ello fellers. I am on Biz/Vac in Paris, Just got home, checking in on the game, and what do I see, a comeback maybe?
Fuck, bad timing.
he’s the bad luck guy get him
actually, they’ve been losing since I left so maybe I’m the good luck charm…or maybe you’re superstitions are stupid as shite. I don’t know, you tell me.
He’s a hacker. Oh well
How many times are they going to blow a game with the tying or winning run on third?
Yep. Mr. clutch does is again. If A-Rod had done what Jeter did 2 games in a row we’d never hear the end of it.
yep, he gets a reprieve because of the rings
Maybe J-Rod is better than Swisher because he has a ring? Right? hehe
what a fucking tease this team is
*bangs head against wall repeatedly*
0-3 this week in 1-run games vs the fuckin Nationals and Marlins, 2-4 overall. Sigh.
Why swing at the first pitch after he just walked a guy?
maybe francesa will talk about how jeter got robbed of another base hit there
It hurts more when you’ve tried so hard only to fall flat at the last step…
Captain pulls a Cano after watching the previous AB where Lindstrom was alllllll over the place.
Summary, 13 or 14 straight retired, poor defense by Cabrera, bad pitching by Tomko….. so goes another series.
When the hell is this interleague done, it is killing the Yankees.
good job leaving DRob out of your summary
Crap, your are correct, those last two runs came on his pitching. Should have been paying more attention. thanks for the error caught.
unearned run
and if he backed up melky’s throw hanley wouldnt score
When are we gonna move jeter from the leadoff spot?
So every solution to a problem is DFA, bench, changing lineup spot? Really?
no, but jeter leading off kills us more times than it helps. He just doesn’t work the count enough to be leading off.
We avoid seeing him hit into more DPs when he leads off.
yeah, that 374 obp is horrible.
There are going to be more men on base later in the lineup than 1st, in general.
He has a .375 OBP. Just b/c he had a rough series doesn’t mean he shouldn’t hit leadoff.
No no no, just DFA Jeter too. solve every problem.
what does that matter he was the 7th man up that inning
that doesn’t really have anything to do with anything. he’s been very productive out of the leadoff spot, this game is on the poor relief pitching from some scrub (coughbombkocough), and a bad game for coke and Drob who have been very good.
jeter was the same guy who lost us the game against the nats by grounding to shortstop.
how often do we have to see groundouts by jeter that just ANNIHILATE rallies
still not sure how moving him out of the leadoff spot changes any of the results in the late innings
62 out of 100 plate appearances he will make an out, the other 38 times he will succeed
More than twice.
Um, Cano grounded out to short to end the Nats game.
Oh well. Gardner provided some excitement.
Good see him back from the headache, too.
That was expected.
Pathetic series, once again. We are hitting some rocky times against bad teams. fucking annoying, the yanks better get hot soon. if we can’t beat the bad teams, then what’s gonna happen against the good ones (the Red Sox, anyone?)?
yeah 38-23 against non-Boston teams, guess we cant beat the good teams or the bad teams. just a .622 winning %
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
This burns…two fames lost on an fucking error!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why in the world did Jeter swing on the first pitch? Ugh, what an ugly two weeks it has been in yankee land. Add in a possible DL Stint for CC despite what they are orignally claiming to be only stiffness.
I definitely blame tomko for the bulk of this loss. let us all pray he is DFAd tommorow.
yeah because Drob was lights out
Drob has been nothing short of great this season. he had a bad day. how in the world could you complain about him?
Well I’m mildly amused. But D-Rob I believe blew a tie/lead against the Phillies I believe. But yeah he’s one hell of a good pitcher.
what?? I have to restrain myself from cursing here, but drob is a good pitcher. He throws lots of strikes, has decent stuff, and has a freakin ERA under 2!!! He blew ONE tie against the phillies. Tomko has blown 3 games for us, go look it up. also, how was that amusing??
“throws a lot of strikes”1
10 BB in 14.1 IP
small sample size, he’s a rookie, he’s 24, he threw a lot of strikes in AAA…yea
i bet drob threw “strikes” because triple a hitters couldn’t see his curve well. some major leaguers will lay off that pitch.
he has average control at best.
But Tomko gave up 3 runs on 2 HRs.
They can package Berrora with tomko, bring melancon back and at this point, I am not sure who would fill Berrora’s spot. We just need Nady to get healthy, now.
package them together for what a porto potty
IETC. And that might seriously be more valuable than either of them. Charlespoet, did you actually mean package them for a trade?? Cause that’s impossible. Literally no team would give up ANYthing for those scrubs
No package them to DFA. Bring Melancon to replace Tomko and get some experience. I just don’t know off hand who fills the spot for Berroa if they look from within.
Sorry, my sentence was not very clear. Trading them would laughable just for trying.
they won’t te should but they won’t so why waste your time its better spent praing jeter stops hitting groundballs at people or that amybe this defense plays smart baseball
remember when francesa in one of his joba rants was saying how he wants tomko as the 5 guy and joba in the 8th
I think it’s time to bench Jeter for non-performance. Put Johnny at the top of the lineup and Swish 2nd. Bat Pena 9th. Jeter just doesn’t have it anymore. He’s washed up.
Yeah, I agree… *sarcasm*
Oaktag
Cannot possibly be serious.
Yeah, have you seen Jeter’s stats this year? Atrocious!
How many times can we leave Brett on third?
Yeah, it’s getting so frustrating to watch that I would rather see him tagged out stealing home.
At least that will provide some spark and gives us SOME chance of scoring than none.
maybe he should have stolen home
The pitch was a good one to hit, so I can’t go crazy at Jeter swinging at the first pitch; however, I never like to see him go straight pull. His stroke is up-the-middle / opposite field. I suppose the pitch had enough plate to warrant a real go at it, but it just isn’t his game.
Eh, it was in on his hands.
Yeah, you’re right. After seeing more replays, it was bearing in on him a bit.
Thhhhhhhhhuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Yankees lose.
I remember the good old days when the Yankees were in 1st place. lol
sigh.
we should have known that the marlins aren’t a great defensive team and that our bats are pretty cold right now. Gardner had a better chance of scoring on being sent home all along
Well, that was depressing.
On a positive note we did hit .500 with RISP today.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, we just aren’t as good as Boston at the little things- Grit, gut, clutch, heart, hustle, fundamentals.
Boston wins today in the Bottom of the 9th on a clutch HR. We have 2 games in a row where we can win the ballgame late and nothing happens. The season is on the brink of collapse, I just hope Girardi doesn’t completely run us into the ground.
yeah yankees have 0 walk off wins this year and 0 come from behind wins
i’m pretty sure we have -2 come from behind wins
Don’t forget–we’ve never had a walk-off home run either.
Pay no attention to the many walk off wins from earlier this season.
lol the yankees are way above 500 and they’re in the brink of collapse? chill with the hyperbole
“Grit, clutch, and heart” do not win baseball games. They are conceptions and not at all tangible components of the game. I will say that hustle and fundamentals DO help win baseball games, but nothing about the Yankees suggests that they consistently lack those qualities. (See: Teixeira; pop-up; Catillo; dropped ball.)
/meant, obviously, as a reply to Bill and not J.
They’re not on the brink of collapse but Boston’s on a roll and Tampa is gaining fast…
+1
We’ve been out gritigutified this past week.
Hilarious when you listed the little things. Can you define grit and gut for me?? We’ve had a ton of comeback and walk off wins, its just not happening recently. we’re not really close to collapsing, either.
but i can’t deny that girardi sucks. leave tomko in to blow the lead and then serve up another one? come on joe.
Grit, gut, clutch, heart, hustle, fundamentals…
Peter Gammons, is that you?
well that truly sucked
Well, at least I chose the right game to attend this weekend since I went to the game on Friday!!
its still inexcusable to swing at the first pitch in a game ending situation like that. Theres a man on 3rd! 2 outs, and the closer is known for being wild and he walked the man in front of you. what the hell is going on in your mind to swing on the first fucking pitch and heat a weak grounder
hit*
One thought: did anybody notice that, on Gardner’s triple, the cut-off man (Uggla, I believe) made absolutely no turn to home when he took the throw from the outfield? He leisurely lollipopped it to 2B, as if there was no chance Gardner would be turning toward home.
I’d love to see the timing of the play, because if Gardner had turned for home, I think he could have made it based on Uggla’s lax play. On the flipside, I guess it’s possible that Gardner had already stopped and someone had relayed that info to Uggla.
I’d imagine it’s the latter. I think if Gardner had a shot at scoring, he’d have been sent.
the one time i wish we had windmill meacham
Gardner since May 1st
333/425/506
Gardy isn’t a future batting champ and isn’t slugging 500 for the rest of the season, but he hasn’t been lucky (check BABIP), doesnt strike out much, gets a lot of walks, and steal bases. He’s been playing all star caliber baseball for nearly 2 months minus injures.
Yeah, I think he should be taking ABs from Melky right now.
1. “all star caliber baseball” are you serious? just unreal that you can use the word allstar with brett gardner.
2. he had his chance in the beginning of the season and he was just putrid. Theres no knowing if he can even have a .310obp as a full time player. He’s doing well as a bench player, but thats it
Actually his OBP for the season is over .340.
yeah he’s performed since going to the bench, but we all know how he was when he was our starting center fielder, just putrid.
Oaktag.
stats since may 1st as a starter plus game where he replaced melky when he injured his shoulder
333/425/524
Melky since May 1:
.268/.321/.394
That’s why, when neither CF is the future of the organization, you play who’s hot. Gardner right now is very hot and Melky’s been cold since hitting the wall in Texas.
And if a guy hit .333/.425/.506 for a long time, he’d be AS caliber.
just like swisher had a bad month of may after the HBP to his wrist, I wouldn’t be surprised if Melky’s going through the same funk. He’s looked like a much better player than last year.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results
And if a guy hit .333/.425/.506 for a long time, he’d be
ASMVP caliber, especially out in CF.See: Beltran, Carlos.
im just saying his performance and results have been all star caliber.
i mean phil hughes should say in the BP forever since he sucked this year at starting right?
and Joba should stay in the BP since his fastballs been not as electric?
chill out man.
We basically have the same record as last year at this time. Except we have CC, Teixera, and Burnett instead of Rasner, Giambi, Ponson. Same exact record with 3 vast improvements. That can only leave one person to blame- Manager Joe Girardi.
he gets some blame, but definitely not all of it.
There is no way the Yankees were 38-31 last year after 69 games. Were they????
36-33 last year
Also no around for the first month, and hes now batting what .220? Blame Joe
Tex slumped for the first month, blame Joe
Mariano already matched his BS from last year, blame Joe for that too
Wang blew up, blame Joe for that too
AJ blew up twice against Boston, blame Joe for that too
Bruney lied and said he was healthy, blame Torre
no arod around*
The pen is managed poorly and Tomko is used in a big spot? Blame Joe
Our chances of winning are frequently killed by use of small ball by the team’s best hitters? Blame Joe
I gotta go, but there are others, too. Some things can be blamed on Girardi
Wait, the 5th inning is a big spot?
Tomko is the closest thing the team has to a second long man, since Phil Hughes is yoked to Wang.
No one should be really surprised. If you go back to 2006, yankees did better against the NL but lost 2 of 3 to the nationals that year.
In 2007, were swept by Colorado and then lost 2/3 to the Giants – both teams should have one 1 game against the Yankees at best
In 2008, lost 2/3 to the Reds at Yankee stadium and then lost 2/3 to Pittsburgh.
In 2009, lost 2/3 to the nationals at Yankee stadium and now 2/3 to the Marlins.
Maybe they play to the level of their competition which would mean they will perform better over the next 6 games. Right now they are 38 – 30. I predict they will take 2/3 from both the Mets and Braves. Then 2/3 from Seattle, 3/4 from Toronto before heading to Minny and LA. That would make them 47-36….AND Boston has 9 straight on the road where they do not play well.
What’s worse than a loss followed by an off day?
Two losses followed by an off day?
Took the words right out of my mouth. lol
2 series losses to bad teams followed by an off day with your ace injured
Root canal with no anesthesia.
Oh, that was rhetorical!
I hate that there’s no game tomorrow, too.
Gardner > Melky
COME WITH ME IF YOU WANT TO LIVE
Hmmm, with GGBG I get more of a “I’m Brett Gardner. I’m here to rescue you” vibe.
melky has given us walk off wins
gardner came close but not close enough
Joe’s got to be fuming right now.. Especially losing a series to his former team.
Especially after trying to end Josh Johnson’s career in 2006.
Interleague play is a travesty.
Losing in interleague is just insult to injury.
Apparently Joe has officially protested this game. The yankees will hear from MLB by tomorrow afternoon
Woah. What happened?
I couldn’t follow it. Something about the pitcher being slotted in the leadoff spot. Then not hitting leadoff. I couldn’t follow what he was saying. They protested the move immediately.

Meanwhile, the game was played under protest by Joe Girardi. The Marlins, he contends, made an illegal substitution in the eighth inning.
Relief pitcher Leo Nunez was placed in the first slot in the batting order. But Chris Coghlan, who was batting first, ran out to left field and was there for one pitch. That’s when Girardi went out to see the umpires.
The umpires made Florida take Coghlan out of the game. Girardi wanted Nunez taken out of the game.
T
he protest, in theory, could be upheld and cause the game to be replayed from that point.
what a joke, thats a weak move by the manager imo
well he is protesting the situation they had in the top of the 8th inning. If they win the protest, they get to do the 8th -9th innings over again
I don’t think MLB will over rule it for 2 reasons. It didn’t effect the outcome of the game, and because of the whole scheduling problem, I mean they made them play after a 5 and a half hour rain delay.
Neither of those things should change the ruling on the protest. If the rule was applied incorrectly, then the protest should be upheld.
Also, there is no way to know if didn’t affect the outcome. Nunez pitched the 8th and didn’t give up a hit. If the Marlins were forced to use a different pitcher, then maybe he gives up runs and the Yankees could win.
Ok, it had totally slipped my mind about Nunez, but I also do not think that the rule says anything with changing the pitcher. I think the only thing remaining was if the 1 and 9 hitters should have been switched.
Alright enough of the Koufax dick sucking, guys. Can you talk about the game that’s on right now?
Can we trade Veras to ourselves for Tomko then DFA Tomko?
Creative. I like it.
Hanson is going to make this team look silly on tuesday.
Funny, people said that about Santana after the Nieve game.
Honestly, I’d bet on them making Hanson look silly, but that’s just me. It’ll be his fourth career start.
The solution to all of this is to fire Girardi and hire Francesa as manager. That’ll make everything better
That would mean Joba goes back to the pen.LOL.
Oh God
Father’s Day curse? 2nd year in a row that our ace gets lifted early due to injury.
Oh noes!!!11!!11!1!!!111111
Tough loss.
I said something a week or so back about the team being streaky. Multiple people flamed me for it, saying most analyses of teams being “streaky” prove that, in fact, they aren’t…or, every team is equally streaky.
Say what you want, though…terrible in April…great in May…terrible in June.
They have not hit effectively, outside of a 15-0 win, in the last 4 series they’ve played. Before that Boston series, they were on fire hitting.
Not saying we blame any individual, or the manager…just sayin’
who is better defensively brett of melky?
higher obp,Cano,Gardner,Melky.
Who has been having better at bats?
Joe should find more playing time for Gardner
So Gardner should play 2nd?
This is exactly why I stopped visiting pinstripealley.
The site owners get way to full of themselves after a small amount of success, start banning everyone from their site over stupid issues.
Instead of telling us to grow up, how about you grow up and stop letting words hurt your feelings. People get pissed off sometimes, it’s a chat forum not church!! Chill out!
Go ahead and ban me now, as if you actually could. I’m done with this shitty site anyway.
Tip for everyone, if you get banned, just come back with a different name!!! They can try to block by IP, but most of us use DHCP (from the ISP) so they can try but it wont work.
We’re just asking that you respect the other people here, and frankly asking people to cool off with the cursing isn’t exactly an unreasonable request. If you’re not mature enough to handle that, then we don’t want you here anyway.
I can handle it, I didn’t curse at anyone. I’m not even mad at anyone, except maybe Jeter!
My point is that there is no reason to ban someone for cursing. If the person being cursed at can’t handle that, they shouldn’t chat on the internet.
If you see a person being really abusive, on a regular basis, I’d agree with you….but if this site turns into another pinstripealley where they just start banning people for no good reason, it’s not like there aren’t 1,000 other Yankee blogs.
Do yourself a favor, don’t ban anyone unless absolutely neccessary. It’s a slippery slope!
Hey, Jon, how about you don’t tell us how to run our site and you follow our minor rules? It’s not that hard.
Not everyone is as comfortable with the cursing as you are, and when we start getting emails from people complaining about it, we’re going to do something about it. Don’t like it? Then go somewhere else.
Who’s telling you how to run your site? I’m telling you that there are a 1000 others just like yours, so if you start treating your visitors like crap, we’ll leave!
Like I’m doing now!
Good riddance.
go look at the previous thread. There’s no need for people to curse at eachother.
If someone disagrees with me on the internet, and curses me out, I don’t really care. I just ignore that commentor and move on. If the person is that pathetic that they lose their temper over an internet chat, why even acknowledge their existence?
We should all be a lot less sensitive, especially since it’s just a game! A great game, but still just a game.
Cursing at someone over and over in the thread takes away from the quality of the thread. Sometimes when I watch the game I like to come on and bullshit about the game. If a bunch of people continually curse at eachother it makes me want to just step away from the computer. Obviously that’s why a site owner would be pissed.
After I read the first line of the post, I thought I knew where it was going. I was wrong.
Guy completely deked me, and went off in another direction . . . to Crazytown!
fuck you. lol
Hanley Ramirez wears #2 and has pinstripes on…hmmmmmmm interesting.
Interesting article on Rotoworld speculating about the availability of Josh Johnson. What would it take to get him? Hughes, Jackson, McCallister? I’d actually do that in a heartbeat. Would like to avoid giving up Montero, anyone else I’d be thrilled.
Now that the Marlins have secured their new ballpark, it’d be interesting to see if they’ll continue to sell off young talent as it reaches arbitration.
I’d love to have Johnson, but I’d like to see him stay healthy first. I’d be very hesitant to trade Hughes at this point, since he seems to be figuring it out, but for Johnson I’d definitely have to consider it.
