    LETS GET IT YANKEES!

  2. J says:

    gameday has joba at 93-95… but game has 88-92?

  3. Steve H says:

    Karma strikes again.

    PAWTUCKET, R.I. (WPRI) – Police arrested two Pawtucket men Friday morning after officers say they caught the suspects red-handed stealing rims right off a BMW belonging to Red Sox pitching prospect Clay Buchholz.

  4. Salty Buggah says:

    That was a quick spillover thread.

    I wanna score more just in case

  5. K.9 says:

    Saunders is settling down nicely…expect him to go 7.2 tonight

  6. Drew says:

    “He was ready to go at 3:30.” Yes Flash, maybe if you were ready 3 hours before the game you wouldn’t be so awful.

  7. King of Fruity Hypos says:

    O/U pujols 60 HR?

  8. Dorian says:

    Jobber gave up anudda run as a stawtah. Put em back in na bullpen where he belongs. How did Jobber become Jobber? The phenom in na bullpen. Dats how

  9. EA3 says:

    The momentum has turned fellows

  10. Drew says:

    Aight Jober, let’s go get the top of the order.

  11. [...] Make sure you scroll down for tonight’s game thread. [...]

  12. Mike Scoscia’s tragic illness makes me smile.

  13. Dela G says:

    Ransom what the eff was that you moron

  14. Dorian says:

    Can someone please explain to me why Melky is playing in San Diego?

  15. Melky got back to the ball nicely…and Abreu got a tad under it I guess.

  16. Dela G says:

    phew

    i thought abreu hit that out of the park

  17. VO says:

    Anyone make out what Molina’s chest protector says?

  18. Joba Chamberlain makes grown men look silly.

  19. Jake says:

    The arousal level is increasing.

  20. Name (required) says:

    Does anyone else think that Joba looks much thinner?

  21. Dela G says:

    wow joba was philthy that inning

  22. Zach says:

    52 pitches through 3 is a bit disappointing after that 9 pitch first inning

  23. Johan Iz My Brohan says:

    Joba pitching well, i’ll take that 1 bad second inning.

  24. Zach says:

    Wow, anyone see the Mets had all the fans in the stadium eat a potato chip at the same time to set a world record?

  25. Mike Axisa says:

    Bartolo and Nolan Ryan? I know I’m at least half right.

  26. The Mets should sign Fernando.

    He does not hope. HE DOES.

  27. Zach says:

    “he likes the pitch ‘belt high and right over the plate’”
    -what batter doesnt like that pitch?

  28. cjc says:

    pena is just sitting in the swb locker room saying cody fing ransom seriously fuck my life

  29. Andy In Sunny Daytona says:

    Does P. Diddy think he’s in The Rat Pack?

  30. MattG says:

    Help me out here–Joba’s got 95 MPH heat, and an awesome slider. He’s facing a lineup who’s best hitter is a washed-up Bobby Abreu. And he had a three run lead before throwing a pitch.

    So how has he thrown 52 pitches in 3 innings?

  31. marc resnick says:

    ok, we all know hughes and joba should start but which configuration would you choose: Joba starter & hughes reliever or Joba reliever and Hughes starter?

  32. Dela G says:

    i know he needs the playing time, but pena>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ransom

    ransom can blow chunks

  33. Mike Axisa says:

    Oh you can just go to hell Bobby.

  34. Bobby Abreu + range? I don’t believe you.

  35. Yankee1010 says:

    Bobby within 5 feet of a wall? I call shenanigans.

  36. Dela G says:

    jeter is incredible

  37. Name (required) says:

    molina likes tacos

  38. Ivan says:

    Jeter is having a pretty good night. The only thing missing is banging out another model/actress.

  39. Dorian says:

    Bobby couldn’t possibly have known where the wall was

  40. John Flaherty is talking way too much.

  41. King of Fruity Hypos says:

    Joba you ignorant slut!

  42. Ivan says:

    You think we see Melancon tonight?

  43. Eirias says:

    What the hell? I move to Cleveland, but MLB.tv says I am still in-market?

  44. Dorian says:

    I’ll six strong from Joba tonight

  45. Zach says:

    Joba’s fastball has been average tonight?

  46. Ivan says:

    Joba has become quite boring.

  47. Johan Iz My Brohan says:

    I HATE GROUNDBALL SINGLES!

  48. Salty Buggah says:

    Double Play please

  49. Little Bill says:

    What a stupid bunt.

  50. Thank you for bunting, Mike Scioscia. I love you.

    • Ivan says:

      The Angels are good for 2 or 3 free outs cuz of their “aggressive baserunning” or “playing small ball”.

      The Angels: The Anti Sabmetric team.

  51. Dorian says:

    Give me one more out and I think he’ll cruise.

  52. Zach says:

    love the lazy cano

  53. Drew says:

    Damn lazy players.

  54. Little Bill says:

    Great catch Robbie!

  55. ArodMVP217 Retire 51 says:

    I luv when Robi smiles, and when joba pumps fists

  56. Dela G says:

    what an IDIOTIC bunt and an EXCELLENTE PLAY by robbie cano!

  57. Strikeout + horrendously dumb bunt + sweet leather from a lazy Dominican going through the motions = inning over.

  58. yankeefan91 Arod fan says:

    shyt i thought that was gunna fall in.

  59. Dorian says:

    LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, YOUR GOLD GLOVE SECOND BASEMEN ROBBY CANO

  60. Salty Buggah says:

    Thank You Aybar and Bunting Scioscia

  61. Dorian says:

    BTW Who is excited for Entourage on Sunday Night? Can’t wait to see how Vince screws up a Scorsese flick.

  62. Steve H says:

    I’ll ask for the 1st time tonight but the billionth time in my head. How is there no room in the Angels lineup for Wood?

  63. Zach says:

    How the hell did that go out?

  64. dkidd says:

    that was absurd

  65. MattG says:

    So, I am listening to these Angels bozos (is this permanent that MLB.tv is not carrying YES now?), and they are brutal. They are failing all over themselves praising Mathis for his bunt. Are you serious?

    Then Hudler says, essentially, Joba is not athletic off the mound (wrong!), and he is not used to throwing every five days, so he’s not really ready to make plays (wrong!).

    This is like listening to fingernails. Please tell me I’ll get YES on Sunday…PLEASE!

  66. Nails Krzyzewski >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Buster Olney and Jayson Stark

  67. VO says:

    An A-Bomb from A-Rod!

  68. Yankee1010 says:

    Did A-Rod just hit a ball 410 feet by flicking his wrists? Wow.

  69. Alex Rodriguez is so much more manly than anyone on the field right now.

  70. Mike Axisa says:

    He half swung. Half swung.

    He looks like a first baseman.

  71. Dela G says:

    SEEEE YA!!!

    AN AAAAAAA BOMB! FROM AAAAAA ROD!!!

    HOLY SHIT I THOUGHT THAT WAS A FLY BALL

  72. Drew says:

    Al>>>>Joe

  73. Ivan says:

    A-Rod can’t move anymore, he’s slow, and he’s finish I tell ya, finish.

    Onley’D

  74. Josh k says:

    Yeahhhhh A-Rod!!!!

  75. Salty Buggah says:

    Alex

  76. Steve O. says:

    Steep decline.

  77. Cokie says:

    What is this guy on!?

  78. Dorian says:

    FREAK!!!!!!

  79. Jake says:

    A-Rod that is unreal

  80. Andy In Sunny Daytona says:

    Who is Gary Mathews geeking there? His pitcher?

  81. John Duci says:

    STERIODS

  82. V says:

    That ARod bomb looked like a lazy popup. Damn.

    He and Manny are the only two hitters I’ve ever seen do that.

  83. Drew says:

    FEAR THE MELKMAN

  84. Cokie says:

    Can anyone pinch hit for Ransom?

  85. cjc says:

    oh no how dare you challenge ransom

  86. Dela G says:

    man cano crushed that sheet

  87. dkidd says:

    if cody gets a hit, does sterling say he sent a ransom note?

  88. Mike says:

    Isn’t Joe Saunders the one that said A-rod shouldn’t be in the All-Star game? Take that Saunders.

  89. Drew says:

    COdy will crush a fastball

  90. Yankee1010 says:

    Cody, they’re walking Melky intentionally to get to you. That’s a sign that it’s time to start hitting.

  91. Cokie says:

    Flash: “I was not a good hitter”
    I’d still rather have him up there than ransom.

    • Ivan says:

      Hey Flash was pretty damn brutal.

      It would of been funny if he said that quoute and Singleton said something like “Like no doubt it”. lol.

  92. blackdragon905 says:

    Where on gameday does it say average fastball velocity? All it says is N/A. Sorry if this is a stupid question lol.

  93. Steve O. says:

    Make them pay, Ransom.

  94. Steve H says:

    I love how Olney defended himself by reporting “only what he’d heard” What a crock.

  95. Tank the Frank says:

    They never would’ve walked Melky to get to Ransom if they knew he could jump on top of boxes. Scioscia needs to watch some Youtube.

  96. Steve H says:

    So is anyone else’s StatTracker all screwed up this week? Like 30 minutes behind. Has the game in the bottom of the 3rd right now, pissing me off royally.

  97. cjc says:

    ladies and gentlemen cody fing ransom

  98. Cokie says:

    That was some sweet punchout from CB Bucknor.

  99. Dela G says:

    ransom you are a complete idiot

  100. charlespoet says:

    Still not sold on keeping Ransom rather than Pena.

  101. V says:

    Strike 1 was a ball. Foul ball was the same pitch. Can’t fault him for a bad umpire in that AB.

  102. J says:

    not only can’t ransom hit off speed pitches, breaking pitches… he can’t hit 90 mph fastballs down the middle.

    please… DFA THIS GUY.

  103. Yankee1010 says:

    Really, Cody? He seems like a great guy, but how much longer is the rope? It would be one thing if he was even fielding decently, but he’s been a butcher in the field too.

  104. Dela G says:

    OMG please DFA this guy!

  105. Ivan says:

    Look, Cody Ransom is not good baseball player but gettin all hot heated that he’s struggling is quite petty.

  106. Tank the Frank says:

    I hate dinky BS hits.

  107. charlespoet says:

    Jeter would have dove in his Supersuit can caught that.

  108. dkidd says:

    it’s 5-1. who cares if he steals?

    • Zach says:

      because you dont give away bases, 4 run lead with 5 innings to go

      • dkidd says:

        not saying you give it away, just concentrate on the batter. joba starts slowing down, bad things happen

        • Zach says:

          pitching with runners on base and varying his timing is something he needs to learn/work on to continue to grow as a pitcher

  109. Johan Iz My Brohan says:

    I’ve noticed if Jeter was at SS now, he could have prevented like 3 hits..

  110. cjc says:

    out another great call

  111. Dela G says:

    figgins was effing out

  112. John Duci says:

    He was out. Nice throw Molina.

  113. Marty Foster says:

    Guys, trust me, he was safe. The ball beat him before he got to 2nd base

  114. Ivan says:

    You know whats great since Kay is not doing a game while the angels are playing.

    I don’t have to hear him say “Hey who does Figgins look like?” “He looks like Wille Randolph”

    We get it Kay. You say it every year.

  115. Tank the Frank says:

    Someone needs to tell Flash not to drink the YES gun Koolaid.

  116. Drew says:

    Umpires are shitty. I hate them.

  117. J says:

    alright joba… get it together

  118. Marty Foster says:

    god i hate bobby abreu

  119. MattG says:

    Shockingly, the Angels’ guys didn’t notice Figgins was out.

  120. Dela G says:

    great stop by molina

  121. Ivan says:

    Chamberlain is makin Rivera his bitch wit them sliders.

  122. Johan Iz My Brohan says:

    Why are the infielders not getting these groundballs? I’m using gamday so I don’t know how hard they’re being hit, but SERIOUSLY.

  123. Bobby Abreu is still surprisingly fast.

  124. Come on, Joba. GEt through this inning.

  125. Dela G says:

    damn it!

    bobby abreu seems to be the ultimate “zero stat” guy, however. 50 runs and 50 walks?

    and the angels aren’t even that great…

  126. marc resnick says:

    when was the last time joab got a swing and miss on a fastball… but ya. gameday must always be right…

  127. Ivan says:

    Joba got away with a hanger.

  128. charlespoet says:

    So how do you get Joba to stop waisting so many pitches. 88 through 4 2/3

  129. Dela G says:

    oh damn a-rod

    shit

  130. Reggie C. says:

    Joba is imploding here.

    • Yankee1010 says:

      This looks like last Sunday.

      Maybe Joba learned something from Mussina about dealing with errors behind you.

  131. Ivan says:

    Look on the bright side Joba, he hit a homer for ya.

  132. dkidd says:

    poop

  133. Dela G says:

    oh my god

    we have a fucking tied game

  134. Mike Axisa says:

    Terrible. Two four runs leads he’s blown in two starts.

    • cjc says:

      he falls apart after errors its sad

      • That.

        Funny, as the inning was unfolding, I was thinking to myself, “What I wouldn’t give for Jorge Posada to jog out to the mound and tell him to calm the fuck down and keep focused on attacking the hitters”.

        Joba’s developed a nasty habit this year of letting errors, misplays, and bad calls screw with his focus to the subsequent hitters. You’ve gotta shake that shit off.

    • Dela G says:

      its sad mane

      smart move taking him out though

    • Ivan says:

      Hey maybe u had a rite to react in your post about Joba.

    • Little Bill says:

      He had help in blowing it again though. The 3rd basemen, whether it’s Alex or Cody has to make those throws. Figgins was also out at 2nd.

    • Joe Robbins says:

      Gosh, I hope Joba doesn’t say he thought he had good stuff and pitched pretty well. He did throw some good sliders to Rivera, though.

  135. Johan Iz My Brohan says:

    Our D sucks balls today.

  136. pat says:

    fuck this bullshit.

  137. J says:

    damn. new game.

  138. charlespoet says:

    You could see that coming. So how do you not replace Joba with Hughes.

  139. Drew says:

    shit. Error, another missed call by shitty umpires, shit.

  140. cjc says:

    gee seen this before way to pickup your team after an error

  141. Ivan says:

    Joba, Joba, Joba.

  142. Jake says:

    The arousal is gone…

  143. J says:

    okay what is seriously going wrong with joba?

  144. John Duci says:

    Joba doesnt deserve to be pitching in the rotation right now

  145. dkidd says:

    that escalated really quickly

  146. Reggie C. says:

    Joba has imploded.

    AAA bound.

  147. J says:

    fuck. the yankees should be batting if the ump got the call right and arod made the throw.

  148. V says:

    See: 2008 Rays.

    Defense matters.

  149. Ben says:

    God Joba is such a p*ssy.

  150. Dela G says:

    this sucks so much

  151. Drew says:

    Yay, Melancon.

  152. pat says:

    yaay melancon

  153. Frank says:

    It’s about time the Yanks seriously consider ending the Joba as a starter experiment.

  154. Dela G says:

    well here is melacon!

    please do well

  155. Mike Axisa says:

    It’s ok Joba, you did great. When the sun comes up, you’ll still have a job.

  156. Ace says:

    Joba Chamberlain’s 1st half grade = C-

  157. Ivan says:

    To be honest you gotta give the guy a chance in the rotation. Nevertheless, he’s really testing my patience in these games at times.

    As I said before he’s become a very boring pitcher.

  158. Dela G says:

    damn melacon throwing 95!

  159. mustang says:

    Joba pitching like this, No Wang, and Andy being Andy thats going to be one tired bullpen.

  160. Moose says:

    ANOTHER horrible start by Joba!

    This bum is REGRESSING. Every start now seems worse than the previous one.

    Cashman better take notice and wake the fuck up with these Halladay rumblings. If he thinks he can win with CC, AJ and a prayer in October, he is sorely mistaken. Our 3,4,5 pitchers are a fuckin joke. Absolutely no faith, whatsoever, that any of those stooges could make it past the 5th inning in any start they throw.

    p.s. its games like this (where Joba gives up 5 runs, but only 2/3 earned b/c of errors) why his ERA is so misleading. Anyway who actually believes Joba is a legit 4.0 era pitcher is either kidding themselves or severely delusional.

  161. ArodMVP217 Retire 51 says:

    Damn, sanchez perfect through 7

  162. Dorian says:

    I think I called the wrong no-no tonight. What the hell happened I went across the street to get a sandwhich and the game is tied?

  163. Dela G says:

    GREAT JOB MARK!!!

    NOW LETS GO EFF UP THAT ANGELS PITCHING!

  164. dkidd says:

    who else can pitch tonight? bruney and tomko?

  165. John Duci says:

    Wow, Sanchez is Perfect threw 7

  166. John Duci says:

    Wow, Sanchez is Perfect threw 7

  167. Moose says:

    Sorry for the enrgaed post, bad night.

    But Joba still sucks.

  168. Tank the Frank says:

    I had great stuff today. The Angels just have a good lineup. It’s not a big deal because, at the end of the day, the sun comes up tomorrow and I still have a job.

    - Joba Chamberlain

  169. This sucks! Clearly Molina sucks at calling games!

  170. John Duci says:

    Trade Joba for Halladay and win number 27 this year. Forget the future.

  171. V says:

    Wow. Juan Uribe ends the perfect game with an error. On an easy play.

    Epic fail.

  172. dkidd says:

    error ends the perfect game

    that sucks for both pitcher and fielder

  173. Dela G says:

    holy shit

    jeter is 4 for 4!!!

    he’ll prolly get 6 ABs!

  174. Kevin G. says:

    This Jeter kid is pretty good.

  175. John Duci says:

    Still has a no hitter
