You’re like a little miniature Buddha, covered in hair.

He should have.

Dela G says:

man it feels good to be back on here, i had to study for 2 finals last night so i couldn’t watch the game, but good to see a-rod coming back around.

How was CC in the first 2 innings, apparently not good?

I just got home at it was 3-2 with cervelli batting

JobaWockeeZ says:

1st inning was good. The scored a lucky run with small ball but the 2nd inning no so much.

 
Salty Buggah says:

2nd inning was bad. 1st inning was when a run scored on a groundout.

 
Dela G says:

aight thanks guys for the updates

 
 
JobaWockeeZ says:

yeah we skip King Felix but we’re going to see Halliday.

VO says:

What else is knew?

Mike Pop says:
VO says:

Give me a shot to fix it at least, damn.

Mike Pop says:
VO says:

Not only do you fix my mistakes but you steal my posts also?

Mike Pop says:

I’m just havin’ some fun. I live a boring and lonely life.

Mike Pop says:

Hahaha. Awesome.

 
 
 
 
 
Drew says:

MP=Spellchecker and totally gay

 
 
handtius says:
 
 
Mike Pop says:
JobaWockeeZ says:

Oh my bad thanks.

 
VO says:

Your just full of em today aren’t you?

Mike Pop says:

I’m like the Umpire @ RAB.

VO says:

If you get to be the ump then I call Joe Girardi.

handtius says:

I call Jeta. he gets all the arse.

dkidd says:

ietc

The Fallen Phoenix says:

I’d make that trade if I were Toronto. Maybe. Felix is probably going to be more expensive in a couple of years, but he’ll be on the right side of 30.

 
yankees=warriors says:

Wang’s facing him, right?
So it doesn’t really matter.

 
Dela G says:

its not fair sometimes, we ALWAYS seem to face beckett and holliday on EVERY turn of playing those teams…

JobaWockeeZ says:
 
 
 
donttradecano says:

whose going to the game on the 4th?

 
LiveFromNewYork says:

Me. Unless it snows. Which wouldn’t surprise me.

donttradecano says:

Im sitting in 213

 
 
 
yankees=warriors says:
 
Drew says:
 

Damn, that shit was in the other batter’s box!

 
Salty Buggah says:
Salty Buggah says:
 
 
Mike Pop says:

Jeter. You asshole.

 

Good throw, Kenji.

handtius says:

yeah, perfect.

 
 
Salty Buggah says:

Damn it Jeter…oh well.

 
The Fallen Phoenix says:

Well, this means A-Rod can have another lead-off walk that leads to the big inning.

 
yankees=warriors says:

That inning was too quick…

 

Tex’s BABIP is still at .272, excluding today. I’m excited for those hits to start falling.

 
Salty Buggah says:

is it me or is Tex pulling lately.

handtius says:

tex always pulls…and tugs (had to)

Dela G says:
 
 
 
dkidd says:

transformers = waste of two hours and forty minutes

Mike Pop says:

I wanted more Ms. Fox and less Shia.

But, overall. I enjoyed it.

handtius says:

want to see it.

Mike Pop says:

I would not mind a nude scene or two.

handtius says:

they’re coming.

 
 
 
Dela G says:

fox can’t act worth sheet though

give me jessica alba over megan fox any day of the week

there is a reason why derek hasn’t tapped fox but hit up alba…

Mike Pop says:

With that body, and her role in that movie. She does not need to act. Just look good.

Spaceman.Spiff says:

Lol, I scoffed at all the slow-mo scenes they had of her running. But at the same time, paid very close attention.

Mike Pop says:

Hah. But did you enjoy the movie overall?

 
 
 
Spaceman.Spiff says:

Alba=kettle, Fox=pot. Watch Honey or Into the Blue if your memory needs refreshing.

A very sexy kettle and pot though.

Dela G says:

yeah i’ve seen them both.

i feel what you’re sayin but i’ll take alba.

Spaceman.Spiff says:

Yeah, me too. But let’s not pretend like their acting has anything to do with it, haha.

Dela G says:

hahaha you speak tha truth

(Comments wont nest below this level)
 
 
 
 
handtius says:

it’s only because he’s dating that chick..don’t ask me…He’s got her on the list.

Dela G says:

hahaha yeah he does seem to date the best at the moment

 
 
 
 
yankees=warriors says:

Really? I was planning on going!

kunaldo says:

megan fox…mmmmmmmmm…worth it

 
JobaWockeeZ says:

If you liked the first one then you’ll like it. Or if you like hot girls then watch it.

 
 
EB says:

terrible terrible film. More substance in a 5 minute looney tunes cartoon. Cannot believe that they are projected to make over $500M from that crap.

 
 

Let me tell you, that mask does not protect you as much as you think. Your jaw is pretty damn exposed.

Drew says:

10 yr olds>>>>>Matt

That shit never happened with the 11-12 year olds. They were big enough to block foul balls, but the ten year olds are like fuckin’ munchkins and everything goes right over them.

 
 
 
Dela G says:

man derek needs to get this range up to what he was doing in the ATL

BklynJT says:

That ball was scorched. No ss was getting to that unless they were heading toward second to cover the steal.

 
 
Drew says:

lol, did anyone see angel hernandez show Verlander why he was called for a balk? It looked like he was sticking his right foot in and shaking it all about.

VO says:
 
 

Why can’t Michael Kay just say “fortunately” like a normal person?

VO says:

Matt=Normal Person
Michael Kay= Superstar

 
 
Salty Buggah says:

when did Gutierrez become Mr. Patient?

Damn it CC!

 
yankees=warriors says:

Good catch, but that was scary!

 

Melky misplayed that one into a nice catch.

Drew says:
 
Mike Pop says:

Melky shuffles to the ball.

 
 
Dela G says:

man this really sucks, cc needs a changeup for a GIDP soon

 

Come on, CC; finish off these ABs.

 

I’m gonna watch the fireworks from the GW bridge.

It’s gonna be awesome.

 
yankees=warriors says:
 
BklynJT says:

I think it’s time for CC to throw a breaking ball…

BklynJT says:

Damn O’Neil had to open his fat mouth.

 
 
Jake H says:

All they are doing is hitting change ups. Why no sliders?

 

Jeter misplayed that. He came in and then jumped.

handtius says:
 
 
Ivan says:

Is there anything i,ve miss?

 

Eh, CC was due for a start like this.

radar says:

That may be true, but it’s infuriating to see it come at the hands of a lineup as wretched as this one.

 
 
Drew says:

Kenny Singleton’s the man and everyone should know it.

Andy Stankiewicz says:

Michael Kay sucks and everyone knows it.
Singleton is great though.

 
 
Manimal says:

Just voted 50 times for Tex. Thats the most excited thing I’ve done all week.

And in no way is that depressing.

Manimal says:

Its the freaking rain, its literally rained for a week straight here in Massachusetts.

 
 
Mike Pop says:
 
Dela G says:

you need to get new friends :)

 
handtius says:

I do not envy you.

 
yankees=warriors says:

LOL. I’m still voting!

 
 
Mike Pop says:

My dad massaged my feet and he got arrested….

 
Jake says:

Did we really need to hear about the foot massage??

 
Drew says:

“unfortunately he’s the second son” WTF Kay you’re an idiot.

Dela G says:

hahaha sometimes kay likes to hear kay speak

 
 

After a comment like that from Kay, where’s pat when you need him?

handtius says:

getting a foot message.

 
 

My dog used to massage my feet.

 

Does he throw Ichiro a breaking ball like last time?

That was a terrible play and and a terrible pitch call.

 
 

So is Ichiro’s MVP win over Giambi criminal or really criminal?

 

I can has Brett Gardner plz?

handtius says:

I don’t think he’s got that either though.

Eh, I think he’s better at getting to spots than Melky is.

Drew says:

How many mis-steps has Grit made? A lot IMO.

Spaceman.Spiff says:

Gardner’s misplayed as many if not more than Melky.

 
 
handtius says:

Possible, but he still doesn’t get that.

 
 
Spaceman.Spiff says:
 
 
Drew says:

Eh. We didn’t even see a replay of Melk’s first move yet. That ball was smashed.

Mike Pop says:

Beltran has that!

Guittierez has that!

A-Jax will soon has that!1!1!

handtius says:

No, but your mom does!

 
 
 
dkidd says:

im on ur bench

gettin a big hed

 
 
yankees=warriors says:
 
Dela G says:

well this game is basically over…

Mike Pop says:
Dela G says:

yeah i’m just being defeatist

Mike Pop says:

Not on my watch, Dela.

 
 
 
 
Andy Stankiewicz says:

Well this game isnt go well for CC.

 
Drew says:

Ichiro tattooed that one

Jake H says:

not really. That ball just seemed to carry forever. I doubt if Ichiro thought it was crushed that he would have been running so lazily.

Drew says:

Didn’t you see the replay? that ball JUMPED off the bat.

 
 
 
pete says:
 

Game isn’t over till the 27th out is made.

Drew says:

This shit was ovah in the 2nd!!11!

 
 
 
Dela G says:

man i thought sabathia would be able to get out of this unscathed…

oh well

 
Salty Buggah says:

Damn…we can still comeback

 
Charlie says:

Well, the winnning streak was nice while it lasted. If we lose tommorow, Girardi better get his ass ejected.

Mike Pop says:

Please, Yankees are winning this game.

 
 
 
Jake H says:

Kay is the biggest moron.

 
Manimal says:

Branyan cant even get the ball on the bat. Poor guy.

 
The Fallen Phoenix says:

Can’t imagine how Branyan must be feeling right now.

Dela G says:

well hey at least he can say “at least i’m not chris davis of the rangers…”

 
Drew says:

A little hungry, a little thirsty.

 

“Hey I’m making a cool few mill and you’re not”

The Fallen Phoenix says:

Must be nice…

 
Mike Pop says:

“I’m earning more money a strikeout than you are a week”.

Ol’ Jack is a Yanks fan too!

Bandwagon!

 
 
 
captain crunch says:

cc has nothing…

SouthernYankeeFan says:

he is pumping 97 gas up there he just needs to locate his pitches better.

captain crunch says:

he hasnt been locating all night.

Dela G says:

he struck out 6 in a row….

captain crunch says:

even if hes not locating he has the stuff to K guys

Riddering says:

Then he has something.

 
 
 
 
 
 
zs190 says:

CC just doesn’t have it tonight, no velocity issue, control is alright, they just hit everything tonight. Still, it’s only the 4th inning and we are down by 4, we’ve got a chance still.

 
zs190 says:

And thank you, Russell Branyan, 7 straight K’s? Granted, they were all lefties.

 
Salty Buggah says:

It must be jorge’s fault…oh wait.

Cervi’s ERA must have skyrocketed tonight.

Salty Buggah says:
 
 
Salty Buggah says:

damn, that was ball four Alex oh well

 
Ivan says:

Well the yanks are down 4 with a couple innings to go. So this game is FAR from over.

 
Andy Stankiewicz says:

And the comeback begins……………now.

 
Quikksand says:

What’s going on with our Yankees, guys? They need to play better now!

Quikksand says:

Well that’s one way to get better. Godzilla homers! Go Yankees go!!!!!!!!!!!!

Charlie says:

sorry, that was just gay

V says:

Can this d00d be banned already? He adds nothing.

 
 
 
 
Drew says:

Michael Kay would like As Good as it Gets.

 
Salty Buggah says:

A HR or two from some guys who are overdue (Tex, Robbie, Matsui, Jeter, Swisher) would be nice.

Dela G says:

YOU GOT THE GOZILLA THRILLA!!!

6-4 !!!! WHOOOOOO!!!OOO!!!OO!!!

 
Salty Buggah says:

And thank you Matsui

Dela G says:

YOU ARE THE BOMB SALTY

YOU CALLED THAT SHEET

 
 
 
Charlie says:

Shit Teixeira is still down 40,000 and Kinsler is hanging on for dear life by 7,000 votes over Pedroia. Anyone who hasn’t has gotta vote quick.

Charlie says:

Don’t let 3 Red Sox patrol the field for the beginning of the ASG

 
 
Drew says:

BUT WE LOSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

 
JobaWockeeZ says:

MATSUI SUCKSSS!!! HES WASHED UP!!!! CERVELLI AND POSADA FTW!!111!!!!1111

Spaceman.Spiff says:

DFA MATSUI, BRING UP SHEEEEEEELLLLEY!

 
 

See? Game not over yet.

 
Mike Pop says:

Godzilla: I’m not done yet. Almost, but not just yet.

 

Yeah Matsui’s toast, let’s DFA him. He only OPS’ed .950 in the three weeks prior to the road trip in NL parks.

Mike Pop says:

Heh. Tell that to tommie.

handtius says:

All this talk of DFAing Matsui. We should be DFAing CC. 6 runs in 5 inning. Garbage. Release him or put him in the eight!

 
 
 
Andy Stankiewicz says:

Oh Godzilla !!!!

 
The Fallen Phoenix says:

Matsui’s done. His bat looks so slow up there, he’s nothing more than a DH now, two bum knees…

 
Dela G says:
 
Cokie says:

So you think you’re hot shit don’t you ichiro? Lets see you do that.

handtius says:

don’t tempted him. he is a lefty.

 
 
handtius says:

I love yellow power.

 
Little Bill says:

Just stop watching everybody. Dela G already declared it over. Nothing to see here.

Dela G says:

hahaha i did say the game was over

my bad

 
 
BklynJT says:

LOL I don’t think Ichiro likes the NY fans. That’s the second time he didn’t throw the ball into the stands.

 

Oh, Bob. You clever bastard.

 
Drew says:

Ha, the bee man is the shit.

 
Jamal G. says:

Eww, As Good as It Gets is my favorite Nicholson flick as well. I don’t want to have things in common with Michael Kay.

handtius says:

haven’t you seen the Shining, or Wolf, or One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest?

Jamal G. says:
handtius says:

You are doing yourself a disservice. Skip a game, rent all three (you could leave off Wolf, wonderful, but a bit cheesy for young folk). Make some popcorn and understand what a good movie is all about.

 
 
 
dkidd says:

it’d be nice if the offense could pick up cc

 
 
yankees=warriors says:

I hated “Something’s Gotta Give”…

 
Manimal says:

Hughes throws two innings today.. right? RIGHT!??!?!

yankees=warriors says:

I certainly hope so!
This SHOULD be CC’s last inning…

Drew says:

WHAT!!!!!!! not on this planet dude.

Seriously? What’s the point of keeping CC in a game in which he’s already up to 90 pitches and has already given up 6 runs?

Drew says:

because he’s the best pitcher we have. Other than Mo. People are acting like 90 is a lot.

No, 90 isn’t a lot for CC but I’d like to keep his PC down in a game that he’s losing/already been hit hard in. Giving Hughes/Ace two innings each here wouldn’t hurt at all.

 
 
 
 
 
Drew says:

Eh, CC’s good for 2 more, D -Rob and Phil need work.

 
 

My favorite Jack movies are Batman, Cuckoo’s Nest, and The Shining.

Ivan says:

No The Departed?

That movie was tremendous.

handtius says:

Departed is great movie, but Jack was amazing in those other movies.

 

Oh, I forgot about that.

 
 
handtius says:

Good selection. Wolf is bad as too.

 
 
Drew says:

A-Rod is done!! First Baseman!!!11!

 
Quikksand says:

Get out of the inning CC! Go yanks.

 
Salty Buggah says:

fuckin franklin

 
Teix is the Man says:

It’s a Hughes night!

Teix is the Man says:

No pun intended I’m not Michael Kay

 
 

So, IMO, this is a game where Joe should take CC out early and let Hughes and Ace get 2 innings each. I know it’s close but CC doesn’t need to be out there any longer.

Ivan says:

He’s currently at 88 pitches. Maybe the yanks squeeze one more inning out of him.

Drew says:

One? how bout two? One is a given.

Charlie says:

No, they should take him out. I’d put robertson in for the 6th and hughes for 7th/8th. CC’s been pretty bad.

Drew says:

assuming drob and hughes will be perfect is kind of foolish. then whos the 9th? Tomko?

Charlie says:

where did i say drob and hughes would be perfect??? Worry about the 9th when we get there.

Drew says:

Well, you already had the 6-8th planned, i figured you had the 9th planned as well.

(Comments wont nest below this level)
 
 
 
 
 
 
Drew says:

Come on broski. 90 pitches. 9 pitch inning. I don’t know when u want him to come out but not just yet.

I feel like there’s no need for him to be out there anymore. Hughes and Aceves can definitely keep this one close/where it is.

Drew says:

Word.. we just disagree, no biggie, I’m ready for CC to clean up his mess.

 
 
 
Charlie says:

Agreed, he’s been pretty bad, and by his standards, he’s been awful. he doesn’t need to throw over 100 just cause he’s a horse.

 
 
Dela G says:

My bad for calling the game over you guys

i am a complete dumbass.

please forgive a brotha, and i’ll give you all free popeyes :)

Teix is the Man says:

Hell yeah! haha

 
Salty Buggah says:

first you give then I forgive :)

 
handtius says:

Um, where? I’m there. What’s the code word?

Dela G says:

i got me some coupons in the mail

as soon as i hit up a scanner, i’ll put a scan of it up on here for you guys to use :)

 
 
 
dkidd says:

batista = 2001 WS flashback

 
Professor Oak says:

My boy NEIL MEDCHILL homers!!!!!

 
Salty Buggah says:

cervi’s luck has ran out?

 
Tank the Frank says:

What’s this move by Wakumatsu? Doesn’t make a whole hill of sense.

 
Salty Buggah says:
 
 
Drew says:

Let’s see how CC comes out this inning before everyone gets all crazy.

Charlie says:

i’m not gonna get crazy if he keeps CC in, i just think joe g should hand this game to his beastly pen

yankees=warriors says:

My thoughts exactly…
What’s the point in running him out there when he’s not effective?

 
 
BklynJT says:

Mariners are killin the ball off CC. Maybe Arod’s tipping the pitches. =)

Nope, it’s totally Jorge’s fault for calling bad pitches.

 
 
 
Tank the Frank says:

Jesus Christ they are TATTOOING Sabathia.

 
Salty Buggah says:

ok now Hughes time

 
Charlie says:

yea Drew, sorry, but you were just wrong about leaving CC in.

Drew says:

lol. not many aces are taken out after 90 pitches after a 9 pitch inning. It’s happened, just not often.

Nope, but how about this? Take him out after he had a great inning after getting knocked around all night instead of making him throw more pitches in a game he’s losing when there are two guys who need work?

Drew says:

Eh, the two have nothing to do with eachother IMO (great inning and being knocked around, it’s not like he needs confidence).

 
 
 
 
Drew says:

C’mon Carsten Charles!! Prove me right please! :)

 

Wait….is that seriously why they didn’t IBB Jeter?

dkidd says:

that can’t be true

although…it is the mets

 
Tank the Frank says:

What was the reason they gave? I missed it.

 
 
Tank the Frank says:

CC – among other things – gets paid to give the Yankees length. I trust our bullpen… but I’d rather not have to trust them for four innings.

 
Charlie says:

i don’t care how bad your team his, there’s just no reason to trot out a guy(Cedeno) thats OPSing 452 everyday. I almost feel bad for the M’s lineup(excluding this game) and for their fans who actually think they have a chance to make the playoffs.

Dela G says:

their lineup is worlds better than the mets

Charlie says:

true, but it’ll be a lot better once (or if) they get healthy.

 
 
Dela G says:

the mets lineup is a AAA team with 2 major leaguers

handtius says:

I could weep for them.

 
 
 
Dela G says:

cmon CC, K branyon AGAIN!

 
Charlie says:

that was strike 3.

Dela G says:

nah he checked

 
 
 
Quikksand says:

Let’s go Yankees!!!

 
dkidd says:

i have a bad feeling. branyan is due

dkidd says:

due to get bailed out by the umpire

 
 
BklynJT says:

I hate 3-2 counts with 2 outs and runners on base.

 
Reggie C. says:

How does CC NOT GET THAT CALL ???

 
Mike Pop says:
 
Dela G says:

HOW THE HELL WAS THAT NOT STRIKE 3!!!???!!!

 
Salty Buggah says:

that was fuckin strike 3 on gameday!!!!

 
yankees=warriors says:

And NOW Joe makes the pitching change…

 
Teix is the Man says:
 
Tank the Frank says:

Strike 3? Anyone? Anyone???

 
Ivan says:

Where was tht pitch?

 

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
