Worst part of that inning was definitely the call at first. However, if Gardner’s still on base (assuming that Cervelli doesn’t HR) when Joba’s spot comes up, they may have Ph’d for him. It’s the best for him to still be in the game.
Yeah. If Gardner doesn’t get picked off, who knows how the inning unfolds. Maybe Frankie doesn’t even hit the HR because he’s getting entirely different pitches.
Meh. It is what it is. I’ll take what we got, and so would Joe G.
Who is going to make the call on whether Joba gets another inning? I would assume Girardi. If they pull him, I would not be happy, unless his spot comes up with a shot to put the game away (bases loaded, no one out).
i saw it on draftexpress.com. im not a rubio fan and still want jennings. and if they were to buy the 28th pick as speculated i wouldnt mind one of the following if available:
8- Evans 28- AJ Price
8- Jennings 28- Danny Green
8- Jennings 28- Wayne Ellington
All three of those 28 picks would be pretty huge reaches. I don’t think Price, Green, or Ellington have much of a shot to ever contribute to an NBA team.
maybe price and ellington but i disagree on green. he can shoot and rebound well, and would be great role player and a champ calber team. which the knicks will have in 2010.
Hey, even if they can’t get both though, they have alot of picks especially some high ones and definitely can draft high some serious talent. The Wolves just wanna get away from the McHale era as soon as possible.
It’s hard to believe that the Wolves could of had a tandom Roy/Jefferson on the same team.
I certainly see that no question. Still a very good haul of talent. Thabeet might make more sense considering you need some talent at the big man position to take off pressure of Al Jefferson especially considering you play in the western conference.
Hopefully Al Jefferson recovers from that knee injury.
If Stephen Curry is indeed off the board as expected, Hill appears to be a very strong target for the New York Knicks, particularly their head coach Mike D’Antoni. The front office seems to be leaning towards Jrue Holiday, but could be swayed towards selecting Hill instead, especially if they feel like they can sign and trade David Lee to Oklahoma City for the rights to Ricky Rubio.
I,ve heard of the sign and trade of Lee for Rubio. Hey if the Knicks can get Rubio and Hill, that’s a pretty good haul. Nevertheless, I think Knicks will take Holliday and should take Holliday.
It’s the bottom of the order, I’d hope Girardi won’t get all cute with mix-n-match unless Joba starts running up his pitch count. I figure he has 20, 25 pitches left, MAX. Or one inning, whichever happens first.
nah man, I know he’s not a professional hitter but he’s had a great approach tonight. Most AL pitchers just bunt but I’da like to have seen him swing away.
Joba needs to hit a homerun…I would laugh his whole trip around the bases…I bet he runs them like the Babe (I know I mentioned it before, but I really want to see it).
Fatcessa must be having a fit that Joba is doing well. I hate that guy so much. Between the crap he throws about Girardi and the incessant Joba to the pen crap how does he have a job? I know 10 year olds who could do better commentary.
he’ll make up and talk crap about Joba until the day he retires.
Joba’s an embarassment, belongs in minors as a starter, 4 inning pitcher, not electrifying enough, needs to grow up, better as 8th inning, Greinke has a much better K:BB then him, etc
I disagree. The catchers need to learn the pitcher not the other way around. The pitcher needs to throw what he wants when he wants, it’s his name that goes next to the decision.
Another good job for Joba.Thats “Good Job” not great just good.Joba is not gonna get better he will be a good #2 pitcher.Like Mussina when he came to the Yankees.
i’d be satisfied if joba turned out to be a good #2 starter ala Mike Mussina. in fact, saying that Joba’s career might be as good as Mussina’s is a great compliment.
I’d like to know why Bruney wasn’t brought in there instead of Coke. That’s the high leverage spot, I’d use my best setup guy right there. I guess we’ll find out next inning if he’s available.
haha he’s a terrible avg hitter, but the guy slugs with the best of em. I love him being on this team. It makes me very happy to see him play every day. Much more fun than old ass abreu
Well, what do you know. Those hits are finally finding the holes. They didn’t just magically learn how to hit, it’s variance. The turnaround might be tonight’s game.
Watching the ATL broadcast. and they are bitching about the call at first with Cano…saying it seems all calls are going against the Braves and that Cano was WAY inside the line, not just running on it.
I like that they have moved on to complaining about where the homeplate umpire was looking. Despite the fact that the first base ump was staring at the play.
Pete Abe:
“Yankees now lead 6-3. I predicted 5-2 back at 8:40. Gotta give me props.”
He must’ve mentioned that he thought the Yanks would win after Girardi was tossed about 4 time. Does he want an award or something?
Yeah he’s the only beat writer I know that does the ingame updates including injuries and other shit that we don’t get on YES. That’s the only reason I go.
Why did Girardi get ejected? I missed it =/
Gardner was wrongly called out on a pickoff at 1st. Argument ensued.
Girardi H-A-D to get thrown out there. Needed to do something to fire up the troops.
Thank you. Girardi should really get ejected more often. Perfect way to get this slumping team energy.
Don’t you listen to Francesa? The veterans all hate his guts. They would cheer if he was thrown out, so they don;t have to look at him.
Oh right sorry Francesa is always right. The vets hate Girardi and Girardi does a horrible job of talking to the vets.
Arguing an atrocious call by the ump. Gardner got called out on a pickoff when he was clearly back in time.
Might have made that Cervelli homer a two-run job.
Or he (more likely) might not have hit one, since the situation was completely different. You don’t see many HR’s on hit and run plays.
Joba grew up wanting to be Chipper Jones?
I thought he wanted to be Mike Franscesa.
He wanted to impregnate Hooters girls?
Well come on, who doesn’t?
Now we just need Joba, Bruney and Mo to hold it down and thanks for comin’ out.
Maybe an out or two from Phil Phranchise, but I’m with ya.
Damnit chip
That was a filthy breaking ball.
God I hate the NL. Friggin BP phone already…
Joba can have my man-child.
But think how much more awesome he’d be in the bullpen!!!!!!!!
Joba to the bullpen = no man-child.
I thought you cant get swing and misses without a 96mph fastball
Joba is so filthy the trashman needs to come clean up those braves hitters after the breaking ball
terrible joke, sounded better in my head
Nice little outing by the fat kid from Nebraska.
Come on. 86 pitches, let him start the next inning.
I want Tony Pena fired immediately.
OK, OK. He let Joba hit. Pena can keep his job for another inning or two.
Worst part of that inning was definitely the call at first. However, if Gardner’s still on base (assuming that Cervelli doesn’t HR) when Joba’s spot comes up, they may have Ph’d for him. It’s the best for him to still be in the game.
Yeah. If Gardner doesn’t get picked off, who knows how the inning unfolds. Maybe Frankie doesn’t even hit the HR because he’s getting entirely different pitches.
Meh. It is what it is. I’ll take what we got, and so would Joe G.
So if the Yanks go 1-2-3, you send Joba out for the 7th, no?
Why wouldn’t you?
Save his pitches and his innings for another day, maybe in October?
We gotta win tonight broski.
that’s why im hoping they go 1-2-3. keep joba in the game.. dang it, swish. oh well
Who is going to make the call on whether Joba gets another inning? I would assume Girardi. If they pull him, I would not be happy, unless his spot comes up with a shot to put the game away (bases loaded, no one out).
I want Jober out for more. Let him cleanup this inning.
The Yanks are batting .667 with a HR and 3 RBI after the Girardi ejection. Clearly, Bobby Cox has been on to something all this time.
Isn’t it 4 RBI?
Yeah I’m an idiot forget it.
The best ERA in the starting rotation belongs to?
Ivan, Tommie-
what do you guys think of all the speculation today, especially the drafting jordan hill then signing and trading lee for rubio?
I didn’t hear that speculation.
Lee is eminently available, as he should be. I heard we were down on Rubio.
As we should be.
i saw it on draftexpress.com. im not a rubio fan and still want jennings. and if they were to buy the 28th pick as speculated i wouldnt mind one of the following if available:
8- Evans 28- AJ Price
8- Jennings 28- Danny Green
8- Jennings 28- Wayne Ellington
All three of those 28 picks would be pretty huge reaches. I don’t think Price, Green, or Ellington have much of a shot to ever contribute to an NBA team.
maybe price and ellington but i disagree on green. he can shoot and rebound well, and would be great role player and a champ calber team. which the knicks will have in 2010.
Actually, Green is the best and smallest reach of the three.
A.J. Price can, will, and should go undrafted. He’s nothing at all special.
It’ll be Stephen Curry. Its destiny and alot of smokescreen ahead of them. Curry will be there at #8.
Heared the trade between the Wiz and Wolves today?
Yup. The Wolves think they can turn those two picks into Rubio and Thabeet by moving up a little more. I don’t see how they end up with both.
Hey, even if they can’t get both though, they have alot of picks especially some high ones and definitely can draft high some serious talent. The Wolves just wanna get away from the McHale era as soon as possible.
It’s hard to believe that the Wolves could of had a tandom Roy/Jefferson on the same team.
True. I’m not saying the trade was bad, it was great for them.
I just don’t see how they get both Thabeet or Rubio. It’s more likely they end up with Thabeet and Holiday or Rubio and Hill or something like that.
I certainly see that no question. Still a very good haul of talent. Thabeet might make more sense considering you need some talent at the big man position to take off pressure of Al Jefferson especially considering you play in the western conference.
Hopefully Al Jefferson recovers from that knee injury.
imagine a team of tyreke evans, stephen curry, kevin love and al jefferson.
I thought Knicks fans like Lee?
I liked Lee when he was cheap.
When he’s no longer cheap… meh.
he supposedly wants 10 mil a year. thanks but no thank.
Didn’t hear that rumor.
If Stephen Curry is indeed off the board as expected, Hill appears to be a very strong target for the New York Knicks, particularly their head coach Mike D’Antoni. The front office seems to be leaning towards Jrue Holiday, but could be swayed towards selecting Hill instead, especially if they feel like they can sign and trade David Lee to Oklahoma City for the rights to Ricky Rubio.
http://www.draftexpress.com/bl.....atest-3283
Holiday >>>>>>>>>> Hill
2nd
agreed but Brandon Jennings>>>>>>>>>>>>>Holliday
I,ve heard of the sign and trade of Lee for Rubio. Hey if the Knicks can get Rubio and Hill, that’s a pretty good haul. Nevertheless, I think Knicks will take Holliday and should take Holliday.
theres also the QRich for Darko trade that will done by friday.
I heard that too. I can live wit dat. Q-Rich is basically useless.
True. So’s Darko, though.
That entire trade is one big “meh”.
Darko can atleast block shots and pass. which would help the knicks.
Yea, but at least with Darko, you can at least salvage something and he has size.
I still like Jennings over Holiday, but we’re splitting tiny, tiny hairs at that point.
Jennings has the higher ceiling but Holliday might be the most complete pg in this draft arguebaly.
SWISH!!
He’s so not an everyday player.
Swisher you stat padder.
genius move by Girardi for putting swish back in line up
Nick Swisher: Your darkhorse AL All-Star candidate.
Have they broken out finally?
/fistpump
This team looks listless. Too many home runs, not enough grit.
sick play
SWISHER!!!!!!! JOE GIRARDI IS A GENIUS!
Don’t know if this was already noted, but apparently Tim Battle has been released
Didn’t catch that. Kinda forgot about that guy.
I’ve only been following the farm for a couple of years, and it seemed like he had been around forever when I started.
Yeah, since 2003. Parts of six years.
The Yanks are now batting .625 with two HR and four RBI after the Girardi ejection.
I’ve been very impressed by Escobar’s defense these two games.
That play was dirrrty.
Do you PH for Joba now?
Apparently not!
I like!
Apparently the formula is Girardi ejected and Cervelli HR and just like that, the perfect elixir.
HELL YEA SWISH… HOW BOUT DAT ABRAHAM?
Abraham likes Swisher’s game. Thinks he does stupid stuff, but actually advocated moving him up in the order.
With a 3-run lead, I definitely think you leave Joba out there to start the 7th, right?
And, hopefully, finish it
It’s the bottom of the order, I’d hope Girardi won’t get all cute with mix-n-match unless Joba starts running up his pitch count. I figure he has 20, 25 pitches left, MAX. Or one inning, whichever happens first.
hmmmm….swish.
Yayy, here comes jober
Its obvious why they have exploded now. Once Girardi got thrown out, they were thrilled he wasnt the manager anymore. Zing!!!!
I’m using that one…
Hey-o!
(memorial shoutout to Ed!)
It’s weird now that two of the three announcers in that NY Lotto commercial are dead.
Only Johnny Gilbert remains…
What are the odds . . . . . .
Icwudt!
GLAD SOMEBODY DID!!
The subtle stuff rarely works.
If Cervelli doesn’t reach, just let Joba hit.
man it feels great to have offense once again
JOBA COMING BACK!
yes!
Fuck bunting, he ripped one and had the right approach the next AB.
i agree, let him fucking hit
sarcasm i hope
nah man, I know he’s not a professional hitter but he’s had a great approach tonight. Most AL pitchers just bunt but I’da like to have seen him swing away.
BTW I’m not ripping Pena or anything, I said that before he even squared to bunt.
…no…why?
He DID rip the first one, and hit a liner the opposite way in his 2nd AB.
I have no interest in having him on the bases there. It probably hurts you more than it helps.
He’s got to get a hit in order to do that.. Then it would most likely be 1st and 3rd with one out, he doesn’t have to run much.
Heh, didn’t one commenter dub Jeff Bennett the “human gas can” on that blog RAB had the series Q & A with?
Joba needs to hit a homerun…I would laugh his whole trip around the bases…I bet he runs them like the Babe (I know I mentioned it before, but I really want to see it).
nice swings jeter
Jeter got pwnt in that AB.
Set em up and sit em down Joba.
DFA that shortstop.
I kid!
damn it jeter
I wonder if Francesa is watching Arroyo in Toronto
What a job by Bronson Arroyo huh?
Fatcessa must be having a fit that Joba is doing well. I hate that guy so much. Between the crap he throws about Girardi and the incessant Joba to the pen crap how does he have a job? I know 10 year olds who could do better commentary.
he’ll make up and talk crap about Joba until the day he retires.
Joba’s an embarassment, belongs in minors as a starter, 4 inning pitcher, not electrifying enough, needs to grow up, better as 8th inning, Greinke has a much better K:BB then him, etc
Also, now he thinks 6IP, 3ER is not a quality start, It should be 6 IP , 2ER…why? because he thinks that is more appropriate..
6IP 2ER is a 3.00 ERA. If a pitcher goes out and throws 30 starts to a 3.00 i dont think “quality” is the correct adjective
Phil studding it out in the pen.
arroyo has been money at times
i watched him destroy the astros earlier this year on tv
every pitcher has been money at times
he’s give up 5+ runs SEVEN times this year
Francisco Cervelli is the answer
Are we playing Jeopardy?
OK, OK, I got it.
“What Yankee Catcher will be in Scranton Wilkes Barres by July 1st?”
whats the question?
Francisco CervelliAllen Iverson is the answerFixed.
June 24th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
Francisco Cervelli Allen IversonLebron or NICK SWISHER is the answerFixed
I tip my cap to you, sir.
.283 OBP for Jeff Francour
Jober <3′s his fastball and I do too.
96 in the 7th.
And again, much much much love for Kelly Johnson’s walk up music.
What it is?
I mean…what is it?
“Your Love” by The Outfield. Midtown does a nice cover of it as well.
just seems strange that they let joba go out to hit, isn’t it?
i mean, i’m all for him continuing to pitch, but they’ve got their little pitch count meter on him. he’s going to be yanked very very soon.
why not have matsui come up?
3 run lead has historically not been enough for this bullpen.
I agree with letting him hit there. He’s been cruising and only at ~80 pitches at the time I believe.
i would agree with this if the organization didn’t have their stupid little pitch max on him.
he was 14 pitches away from it when he got up to the plate.
THERES THE HEAT: 96 MPH FASTBALL TO FRANCOEUR
joba needs to stop throwing opposite of what the catcher wants
its quite annoying
I disagree. The catchers need to learn the pitcher not the other way around. The pitcher needs to throw what he wants when he wants, it’s his name that goes next to the decision.
95 pitches, last batter for Joba.
come on joba!
Cashman is in town to tell Joba to shave that beard
damnit!
Gotta yank him now. 1-2 count and he leaves it up there.
damn it, i thought he would get a double play ball
let him finish this inning
Oh pooter, Get out of it Jober! Just say no to Coke!
I support the decision to let Joba hit and give him this inning.
If we pull him here, though, that’s totally fine, mmmmmkay, Tony Peña? kthxbai.
Shouldnt have thrown another FB. Shouldve gone back to the slider.
+1.
you know that’s from all the coaches and probably Jorge telling him to finish hitters off and stop knit-picking the corners w/ sliders and stuff…
well i guess they are taking him out, let him learn from his mistakes. But thats why i am watching on tv and not the manager
Crud.
Can’t any of these starters nail it down in the later innings?
Cokie isn’t in my good graces yet, I hope he gets this shit done though.
me too
…see what i mean
he’ll get out of it
you just watch
like i said, he got out
Another good job for Joba.Thats “Good Job” not great just good.Joba is not gonna get better he will be a good #2 pitcher.Like Mussina when he came to the Yankees.
“Joba is not gonna get better”
yeah no 23 year old ever improves
He’s 23
Wow. There is ignorance all over the place here and it’s only 2 lines. Impressive.
Not get better? I beg to differ. I believe he’ll be able to have more control than right now and him without the walks = godly.
Yeah. He’s so old he has no room to grow. Can’t get any better, Nope. Better off in the pen…
Are you shitting me? I mean come the hell on. What more do you want the guy to do?
i’d be satisfied if joba turned out to be a good #2 starter ala Mike Mussina. in fact, saying that Joba’s career might be as good as Mussina’s is a great compliment.
+1
damn that was close
NICK SWISHER IS GOOD AT BASEBALL.
I had half a heart attack.
ATTA BOY SWISH
damn nick swisha with a grrrrreat play
Nothing ever comes easy anymore.
I like Coke, but damn, does he give up some shots to lefties.
I’d like to know why Bruney wasn’t brought in there instead of Coke. That’s the high leverage spot, I’d use my best setup guy right there. I guess we’ll find out next inning if he’s available.
I thought Swisher couldn’t play defense.
He makes the tough plays, just sometimes falters on the can o’ corns.
*Can’s o’ corn? hmm
if swish misses that, the season is over
I thought the season was over yesterday. they’re just playing because they’re bound contractually.
How can the season be over when we’re in the lead for the wild card?
Would it be too much to ask for a few more insurance runs?
Joba did well, his error hurt a little though
If the pitcher commits the error, is he still charged with that earned run since its still his fault the runner reached base?
gameday has 3R, 2ER
no, unearned.
The offense didn’t earn it.
I thought Swisher was a 4th outfielder.
haha he’s a terrible avg hitter, but the guy slugs with the best of em. I love him being on this team. It makes me very happy to see him play every day. Much more fun than old ass abreu
that ball would’ve been gone at Yankee Stadium. Coke scares me a little.
you can play that game during every away game
it should.
Well, it’s a hell of a drug.
Isn’t that a critique of the stadium not the pitcher?
Mo money hasn’t pitched in a week. No worries though.
Remember that game against Johan Santana? Was that 10 years ago or 20?
Thank the lord for Swisher.
Nice job, assholes (both Kotchman and O’Flaherty).
the season’s over, why is Damon hustling?
Mark Teixeira >>>>>>>>>>> Casey Kotchman
Mark Teixeira’s salary >>>>>>>>>>> Casey Kotchman
Meh, he’s better offensively and defensively, he might as well be better paid as well.
I mean, yeah.
Tex, make them pay for that mistake.
I have always thought it is weird when you don’t get an earned run due to an error that you (the pitcher) made.
Yeah that’s a stupid rule.
The offense still didn’t “earn” the run regardless of who made the error.
Base hit for Teix. LET’S GO YANKEES!
Well, what do you know. Those hits are finally finding the holes. They didn’t just magically learn how to hit, it’s variance. The turnaround might be tonight’s game.
wild pitch, runners move up!
Two hits and 4 RBIs would go a long way to getting this guy’s head straight.
But I thought teams weren’t afraid of Pay-rod?
What happened to bitch tits?
Haha, Time for Robbie to work on that Bases Loaded avg.
i am thinking he hits a double down the right field line
Fuck it! I’ll take that, whatever the hell it was. That’s a RBI.
eh, no rbi
IBB for A-rod
that stupid play was hilarious
Okay. You all know my optimism knows no bounds but if they don’t get a run here, I’ll be pretty ticked.
Man, that pitcher looked really “relieved” to give that walk to ARod.
Well, yeah, but that’s because he pissed on his hands Posada-style.
What a change — they unintentionally intentionally walk Tex to get to A-Rod, now they’re intentionally walking A-Rod.
Need some tack on runs here . . . . .
Robbie’s bound for a hit.
loading the bases with no outs for the teams best hitter (aka highest BA)???
gritty play by cano!
Cano is clutch!
TEX WITH THE HUSTLE!!!!
Well…they got a run…
5-3 yankees!
Boy Cano’s situational hitting is brutal
Shut up Braves.
Bobby Cox should play the rest of this game under protest.
/futility’d
No matter what, it’s a run back for the horrible pickoff call on Gardner which cost the Yanks a run anyway.
Can Cano pretend like the bases aren’t loaded next time?
WOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD JOB BIG TEX!
Stupid Baseball Rule #4,080:
The base is inside the foul line but the basepath is outside the foul line.
Delayed: other
What’s the deal?
Cano’s clogging the basepaths
+1.
Cox arguing Cano’s base path.
Cox argument over the play. McCann threw to 1B to get Cano but the ball hit him. Cox claimed he was out of the basepath. He lost.
Braves complaining that Cano went out of the basepath.
very lucky there
Tack on runs!!!
6-3 baby.
Nick Swisher makes productive outs.
A-rod scores, 6-3 Yankees.
Not perfect but a run’s a run. Way to go, Nick. I thought he couldn’t play situational baseball.
he only walks, strike outs or hits a HR
He should be on the bench. 240 average is terrible. Forget OBP or OPS, AVG is where its at.
A gritty play by Robbie
and finally a hit and run… with 3rd and 1st. we’ve been really missing that while in this slump.
Cano should not be hitting 5th Can he at lest hustle or is he that slow?
Yeah Cano is teh sux0r!
you’d think people would stop being negative when we’re winning.
Seriously, though, Cano shouldn’t be batting fifth.
Ehh I guess. He can hit but with RISP not so much. But isn’t it only for today since Jorge is getting the night off?
Arod, third to home, third to home, Arod.
Watching the ATL broadcast. and they are bitching about the call at first with Cano…saying it seems all calls are going against the Braves and that Cano was WAY inside the line, not just running on it.
Yeah cuz that Gardner call was just killed the Braves.
Nevermind that McCann was dam near in the on-deck circle trying to throw to 1B.
all calls are going against the braves? did they see the gardner play?
Gardner’s “pickoff” says hello to them.
Swisher having a good game, Joba pitched well, Arroyo got killed= rough night for Mike Dup.
McClouth flashed some leather, though, and got robbed of a HR by Turner Field, so all is not lost.
Well McClouth does have a double and a nice play on defense.
Gardner is so fast.
MAN IT FEELS GREAT TO WATCH THE YANKEES PLAY SOME SMALL BALL
YES IT DOES! THE GRITTY AND GUTTY YANKEES GRINDED OUT 2 RUNS IN THAT INNING!
WHOOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!
YANKEES ARE FINALLY SHOWING SOME LIFE
THANKS GIRARDI FOR GETTING THE RALLY STARTED AND PENA FIRING UP A ROD
WHY ARE WE YELLING?
BECAUSE THATS WHAT FRUSTRATED FANS THAT FINALLY SEE SOME OFFENSE DO
plus it seemed cool
????
The Cable guy with the red beard in the Verizon commercials is Gay?
I think you’re reading too much into that commercial.
He lives with a guy named ‘Ted’?
I was thinking the same thing. Esp when the word betray comes into play.
That’s the edited version.
The original one said “First the Scandinavian boy with the full body wax, now THIS?!?”
Pete Abe really needs to give up his comedy routine.
“I don’t know how swish caught that ball, he took more turns than Danica Patrick…”
Yeah, that’s weak.
I would have went with “Turned his head more than Linda Blair” myself.
+1
IETC
i love how gardner makes every routine play exciting.
Amazing location by Bruney thru 3 pitches
I’m an ass.
and shitty the next 3
can’t kay tell that bruney is throwing gas? but he’s lost the plate…
sorry not supposed to be a reply haha
Bruney gets diet tips from Edwar, apparently.
. . and fashion advice from Rob Halford.
Nevermind the svelte figure, what about the ruggedly handsome porn ‘stache?
The shaved head with the 70′s porn stache makes him look like the 7th member of the Village People.
Bruney thinks he’s pitching to Posada.
He must have stolen that from Giambi.
So why isnt anyone calling for Mariano to be pitching now? facing batters 3-4-5, isnt this the most important part of the game?
Up by 3 runs?
Are you being serious? If you are, it’s a three run lead and neither the tying nor go ahead runs are on base.
Just asking. Is this not the most important part of the game? Compared to facing the 6-7-8-9(PH) batters next inning?
They’re up 3 runs, so there’s some room for error. If McCann reaches, I’d rather see Mariano than whoever they bring in.
Unfortunately, thanks to Tony LaRussa, modern bullpen usage doesn’t allow the use of the closer in non-save situations.
Then who closes the game? Mo doesn’t do 2 innings anymore, he’s 39 years old.
didnt ask him to go 2 innings
Come on Bruney!
Braves announcers still bitching.
“Cano was 10FEET OUT OF THE BASEPATHS! Horrible horrible call. Could have cost them the game.”
i think that cervelli hr cost them the game
But Welke calling Gardner out was a mistake.
I like that they have moved on to complaining about where the homeplate umpire was looking. Despite the fact that the first base ump was staring at the play.
Ten feet? Really? They said ten feet?
repeatedly
No Joke. not at all. said 10 feet..and that his foot touched the grass, not, he was running on the grass, his foot “touched” the grass.
Well the Gardner pickoff also cost us the game. So it’s a draw.
There’s the Brian Bruney I remember — issuing walks after being ahead 0-2.
Buckle down, plz.
Bruney’s making it a bit too interesting for my liking.
Anyone notice that Bruney’s hat is really different?
No patch, wonder why.
yeah his hat has been like that since he came back. I wonder how he ordered that
He’s protesting against the new stadium
We’ve had this conversation like 72 times.
really?
he bought it in front of the bowling alley from one of those “vendors.”
+1
KS: Mariano is cheering on Bruney down in the pen.
Mo: /Yawn
Struck him out!
Bruney’s mustache is marvelous.
Pornlicious
Micheal Kay: Garret Anderson never seems excited
code for:
he hates baseball more than Adam Dunn
JP is that you?
ietc
They need to shut up about this basepath crap…
“we should make sure to check with Cox after the game on hwat the umpire said”
Let’s talk about Gardner’s non pickoff crap
Let’s go bruney! Let’s get out of this inning without any damage!
Pete Abe:
“Yankees now lead 6-3. I predicted 5-2 back at 8:40. Gotta give me props.”
He must’ve mentioned that he thought the Yanks would win after Girardi was tossed about 4 time. Does he want an award or something?
PeteAbe = Axl
“I CALLED IT!!!!!”
ahahaha
ietc
bravo my friend, bravo.
I like his blog for updates on the team, but he’s awful otherwise. Most of his posts now are bashing A-Rod as much as possible.
Yeah he’s the only beat writer I know that does the ingame updates including injuries and other shit that we don’t get on YES. That’s the only reason I go.
I’d rather get Yankee updates from a rabid Red Sox fan than deal with Abe. All his Girardi bashing last year lost all my respect for him.
Fat sportswriters have insecurity issues. It’s like an epidemic.
Fat check
Sportswriter check
Insecure check
Idiot check
oops. the last one just snuck in.
Nice changeup by Bruney… kotchman looked confused.
squeezed much?
Is bruney getting squeezed?
And that wasn’t a strike because…?
You cannot walk a man there. Let him hit his way on, please.
Come Bruney. Seriously.
0-2 on Francoeur? Four straight off the plate.
He tried. I’m shocked that Francoeur looked at a couple of them.
my god this ump decides to decrease the strike zone?
cmon, man
Tony Pena looks like an elf with those ears.
Bring in Mo NOW!
Okay, that’s it. Mo time.
oh man cmon bruney
we need one more effing out
one more out
aa damitt
hope Bruney’s elbow doesn’t fall apart now
Mo plz.
Okay now you can bring in Mo.
Boy this would suck if they lose this game.
2 hits to Francoeur?
Maybe the Yankees’ pitchers should have a closed-door meeting after the game.
(I’m not mad. Yet.)
Shoulda kept giving Francouer breaking balls. He’s the white Pedro Cerrano.
How many games has Tony Pena won as the manager?
