What a great game that could turn into a really shitty game if we don’t win
First ever spillover thread V?
SWB hung a couple on this dude the other day.
Nobody wants to waste 5 hours of their life. They better win this $#!t…
Thank you very much.

300 Japanese reporters just woke up
It’s 11 AM there.
Oh shit or PM. I think it’s PM.
…and there back to sleep. (sigh)
Five hours games will do that…
This has to be the record for most Asian dudes in a game.
Which is impressive for two east coast teams
One of which is notoriously racist…
Japanese guy are light enough…
I don’t believe that.
From @yesmichaelkay
Hey fans! Okajima! Saito! Tazawa! I haven’t seen this many strapping young Asian men in one night since my trip to Thailand last month! OH!
Whomever does that should get a medal
My favorite thing is that he starts each post with “Hey fans!”
Alright Matsui! One of the few with hits!
i think he gives matsui a cookie out of respect.
I see another chan ho park cry baby here
I think you referred to the wrong Asian pitcher. And that’s racist.
On top of that, they’re from different countries…
Yeah, the whole thing is wrong in many different ways.
Lighten up you burrito eater
Burritos are delicious. And that was racist, too.
(golf clap)
PINCH HIT JESUS.
We’re doomed. No-one has ever gotten a run off this guy.
come on hideki, make him your geisha
IETC.
matsui finish it now! great job bru.
Too bad Gaudin doesn’t get here until tomorrow
This is the game that never ends, it just goes on and on my friends, some people starting playing it not knowing what it was, but they’ll continue playing forever just because this is the game that never ends…!
Everybody!
Jason Varitek looks like the redneck version of George Michael.
crap hideki
that was a rocket.
stop swinging at balls.
that’s what i told your mom last night. IOOOOH!
Jorge…what the hell?
You know, a few singles would be nice. A walk and a couple of singles. A double and a single?
Ye ask and ye shall receive
Great, now if the Red Sox win the game all we’ll hear about for the next year is that this Tazawa is the Japanese Clemens
Posada can’t hit a breaking ball to save his life right now.
Is a slider a breaking ball?
then he hits one. man i’m good.
3 solid hits off Tazawa.
jorge will have an off day tom.
You know what sucks? Both of Boston’s catchers have played the entire game in the field.
Haha,forgot that!
I am smelling a spillover thread VI
haha damn. Fuckin shit
Damn, Posada is SLOWwwwww…
Wow Posadas slow
uh oh…
Tazawa doesn’t look that great.
He only pitched .01 innings. Gotta be fair.
That’s 2 line drives
lucky matsui hit it right at ellsbury, cuz this could be all but over.
I hate that I moved to the central time zone 3 years ago, but on nights like this…
first hit since the 9th inning…geez…
2 base hits. What a concept.
this is it.
Please, a double so Po can score standing up. Please.
pr, need to score on a single
can they get a hit with risp?
Please pinch-run for Posada.
Girardi – PINCH RUN for JoPo – Do it!
Thank God – He did it!
Ok, I like where this is headed.
Here it comes!!!
Finally a pinch runner
hit plz.
Finally!!! Pena in as PR!!!
Come on Hinske. Touch ‘em all (or hit a single).
Win this
Hinske… LETS GET THIS SHIT!!
steal 3rd bro!!! U CAN DOOO ITTTTT
No way I take that chance.
just a poke single should do it
time to finish it..hinske…PR for jorge????
SUCH A GAMBLE. CATCHERS HAVING TO CATCH AND SUCH.
Line one into the gap please.
Do you have Pena steal third? Or is that too risky?
Too risky. We’re in good shape at the moment.
Too risky with all the hard hit balls off Tazawa… single wins it.
I like the way you think I say go for it
If we had Gardner on second, I’d at least try to do it
c’mon hinske
And suddenly the strike zone shrinks, sucks to be a rookie
OH MY GOD
No dp pleeeez
Tazawa demands that you call strikes. He has earned it
Yours truly,
Peter Gammons
This has to be it please. Here we go.
come on….
Hinske – save Melky’s ups so he can get another walk-off.
come on paul blart!
Shit!!!!!
FUCK YOU DREW.
fuck you!!! heh
LOL. The Sox fans don’t appreciate you, drop the ball. We’ll love you.
wow nancy… saves it.
OH FUCK MEEEEEE
FUCK
Unreal. Unreal. Unreal.
Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck.
Fml
Are you fucking kidding me?
DREW FUCK YOU
god damn it god damn it god damn it
man.
THE LUCK!! THE LUCK!! I CANT BELIEVE THE LEPRACHAUNS ON THE RED SOX.
Are you kidding me?
How many balls do we have to hit hard to beat this guy?
….
NO DAMNIT! NO!!!!!!!
Are you fucking kidding me?
Wow. That blows.
That was a great catch. I hate him but you have to give credit there.
This smells like an instant Red Sox Classic.
Son of a bitch.
holy god damn hell. good mother of god.
Melky>>>>>>Tazawa
how do you say “mame mis juevos” in japanese?
Why are we being punished Mo? What have we done to anger you?
See: LoHud comments.
What would I find there?
in the morning he won’t be able to move. he threw his back out there.
nancy fucking drew did that and didn’t tear something now thats AMAZING
AJ is always so cool, LOL!
fuck hinske hit it hard too
Great play by Drew – Damn him.
Of course it comes down to Melky.
Nancy fucking Drew. Gotta be kidding me.
the amount of luck the red sox have… is unbelievable.
I do wonder if posada could have gotten to 2nd there.
come on melky!!!!!!!
No pulls Melky. Just a hit up the middle.
Please mo load it up for Jeter against this fool.
make that shit real milky
Lets go Melky.
O man, here we go Melky
My guess is a changeup down broadway.
OH COME THE FUCK ONNNN
Is this what Hell is like?
gysudfhadsi;ohgjsdf FUCK MY LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFE
ietc
You gotta be kidding me!!!!!
what happened?
hahahahahaha
How can we keep finding ways to miss like that? God
fuckin a. my poor heart
Wow.
Seriously, enough with the teases.
Melky with a Mario jump!
This isn’t fair.
And he swung at ball four
oh come on. after that AB you say that?
dangit
MY god….
OH MY GOD.
Tazawa has more lives than a cat!!
Bad Melky on that swing.
NO NO NO NO NO
FCKIN AMAZING
This game should be fuckin over by now.
Holy lord swung at ball 4… OH MY GODDDDDD so mad
FUCK THE WORLD
I need a beer. badly.
that sounds realllyyyy good right about now
Amazing. Will this be a Yankees Classic or a Red Sox Classic? One more inning to figure it out.
if we keep them scoreless, we got this. every hit was a rocket.
Yankees are not destined to win this game.
We need to cut the head off a chicken or something
FUCK, FUCK, THE LUCK IT FUCKIN SUCKS…
He threw a great curve on a 3-2 count, that’s ballsy
You have got to be shitting me.
Still, we have the better pitching available. But I want a run. So badly. I’m starting to hallucinate homers.
Is Kay a secret queen?
What do you mean, “secret?”
You know something I dont…lets hear it what you got
Does Boston have any BAD relievers after Tazawa?
they dont have any other relievers left
Boston doesn’t have any relievers after Tazawa, just wait until the heart of the order gets a piece of this guy
Boston has NO relievers after Tazawa.
No good ones left, no bad ones left.
Jesus does not want us to win this game.
What does a Jewish carpenter, who’s been dead for a rather long time have to do with the Yankees, or are you talking about our injured minor league catcher?
Holy Jesus Montero, d00d.
Can’t it be both?
I’m almost positive I’ve never seen 8 pitchers in one game
I have to work at 7 am. FML.
they have NONE after tawaza
We still get another inning vs. Tazawa no matter what, with Jeter/Damon/Tex.
Love it, it’s nice to not have a black hole at the bottom of our lineup
I love the fact that if Buchholz gets rocked tomorrow, Boston’s fucked.
+1000.
Absolutely, especially when we have a rested Rivera/Hughes/Gaudin in our bullpen. Not to mention not having used Robertson or Melancon yet
Why Coke? Can’t we save him for tomorrow and go to mel?
ahahaha
Melancon pitched more than an inning last night plus he probably wanted the platoon advantage against Ellsbury who is about the only guy that seems to be able to get a hit right now
GET SOME!!!
fuck you jj reddick
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. epic game. let go philthy coke
I have a feeling the 14th and 15th innings of a 0-0 game vs. the Yankees was NOT the idea when the Sox called up Tazawa.
Well hes better in that spot than traber
So not to jinx this or anything, but what happens in the 18th when we’re out of relievers? I say we send Pettite out there
The Sox are in worst BP shape than us.
I realize this but they have a legit starter in there right now who will probably be allowed to throw 80 pitches if necessary and then they can just throw Buchholz in there after him. Doubt you see the same from CC
Is Gaudin here yet?
Doesn’t matter, can’t use him
If nothing else – maybe this game will stop the ESPN pundits from saying how great the Sox pen is and how bad ours is.
You give them far too much credit, this just shows how great their bullpen is! The Yankees bullpen is simply surviving against the worst offense ever while they’re bullpen is DOMINANTING!!
If I had the choice of killing two people in history-say one of them is Hitler, the other Papelbon-I really think I’d probably kill Papelbon.
+1
I would prob kill the director of Rocky 5.
i’m sure papelbon isn’t THAT bad…
PEACH YOGURT!!!!!!
lol at pauly
Please strike out waxed eyebrows.
Are we Melancon and Roberton away from a perfect game (all appear)??? There’s only 16 innings on an official scorecard…if Chad G shows up early, throw him in!
YES!! CAAAANOOOO!!!!
Cano is such a wizard
please mo end this.
ZzZZzZzZz
Calling it, it ends in the bottom of the 15th.
this is the inning
we win this right here
i can has wiffle park in the bronx plz
Yay Coke!
the end is near my friends…i can smell the cinder.
The Pitching staff has done everything for them to win and the offense just cant get one freaking run. Unbelievable.
I’m sure the Sox are saying the same thing.
The difference is, we’ve actually had some pretty good chances.
Let’s do it now! It’s time to win! Let’s welcome Tazawa to the Bigs with a walk off victory!
I’m watching this from the United Kingdom. It’s 0530 here! Will somebody PLEASE end it this time!
UK… awesome, the Yankee Universe!!!
You mean England?
j/k
I love how the UK has so many names.
win it for Michael Yanks!!!! Please
The Yankess NEED to win it here. Dustin, Martinez and Youk scares me. They won’t stay hitless minus Youk forever.
Same feeling here.
This HAS TO BE the inning!!!
Papelbon is the merriam-webster’s definition of douchebag
Ok, we get it, people don’t like Papelbon. What the fuck does Papelbon have to do with this game now?
Jeter, Damon and Tex. Redeem yourself men. Make this bastard wish he was back in Pawtucket.
BACK TO JAPAN.
i wonder if yukalis is gonna pitch sooon
I do wonder if you throw Mitre out there.
end it now guys!
Does anyone think Tazawa even looks that good?
nope.
ok this hot backup singer is easily the only good part of Flo Rida’s performance on Conan.
Will Jeter go 0 for 7?
Not the captain!
i think the ump wants to go home now
terrible call
this kid is nervous. good at-bats!
Strike zone magically expanding for Tazawa
“Nips” the corner? Bad choice of words considering the pitcher no, Mike?
JETERIAN!!!
Steal Jetes!
Bloop.
I think it’s deeply unfortunate that Kaye said that Tazawa “nipped” the outside corner
ietc
no 0 for 7!!!
finally a leadoff baserunner
Michael Kay is the most heterosexual man on earth
Way to go Jeter
Think Girardi has the stones to steal second here?
no bunts.
It will be pathetic if they can score here Jeter on and the middle of the lineup coming to bat.
tazawa looks like a drag bunt, if you know what i mean
lady gaga.
why would you bunt damon here tis pitcher sucks dont give any outs away
I agree with bunting to a degree. But Tazawa hasn’t been able to get anyone out without something being hit hard (exception of Melky). SWING AWAY
Now we’re cooking with power.
no bunt!!! dont give away outs
UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE!!!!
That’s why you don’t fucking bunt with Johnny Damon.
WHY!? WHY DO YOU DO THAT! WE’RE SMACKING THIS FUCKIN GUY!! COME THE FUCK ON!!
NO.
This is why you DON’T bunt. STEAL STEAL STEAL!!!!!!!!!!
Why bunt?
I know this a second-guess but christ that was stupid by joe
Crap, why ask Damon to bunt?
why the f you bunting.
A lot of great defensive plays in this game.
Are we trying to lose this game? What the fuck is going on? Girardi, you fool
Perhaps they are all hallucinating by now. I know I am.
I thought a 2 hitter was supposed to be good at bunting…
Suddenly hes dusty baker
Having Damon bunt with Jeter on 1st playing the worst stolen base pct. team in the league is beyond idiotic. Based on the rockets we’ve hit off this guy…it’s in a different stratosphere.
girardi should be fired after this game
This is so pathetic that we haven’t scored yet with all these chances.
this is upsetting. doitalex.
Let Jeter steal.
Right down the first base line Alex. Let’s do it.
another example of giraardi genius..how do you bunt with a sucky pticher up?
FINALLY!!!!
Jeter must run nothing to lose
END THIS AROD
bad bad tex!
Come on Al!
myyyyyyy motherfuckin boy!!!!n wooooootttttttttttttttt
Umpire just gave a gift on that strike
FINALYL! SEEE YA
AROD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oohhhhhhhhhhhhhh aaaororororodododod

A-bomb!!!!
A-ROD MOTHA FUCKAS THANK YOU!
amazing
!!!!!!
A-RODD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my, oh my! Thank goodness!
A-GOD!!!!!!!!
Hallelujah! ARod! A true Yankee now????
no
Oh yes.
That’s why he get’s paid 30 mil and i don’t…
A-Rod: “I need to go home and get me some Kate Hudson”
Id like to thank the good lord for making me a yankee fan
Thank God! And LOL at AJ~
Tazawa= Greatest Theo deal ever.
Wow.
I LOVE YOU AROD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TAZAWA 0-1
YANKEES WIN!!!!
that was fuckin awesome
AJ’s arm was a little tired. That pie throw was WEAKKKKKKKK
Everyone was tired, A-Rod barely had strength to answer the question!
But I hope CC’s feeling ok.
That made it worth it. Fuck everyone who hates on ARod and every single writer that mentioned his “HRless streak” after every single AB.
All of you who just commented in all caps are being banned for breaking this sites commenting guidelines. I hope it was worth it!!!!!
I don’t care what anybody says, A-ROD IS CLUTCH!!!!!!
you called it Drew!
haha by this point i forgot!
I went from 6 to Midnight as soon as he made contact. I mean when A-Rod hit the ball.
A-rod is muthafucking clutch
Thank God it’s finally over.
Now I am looking forward to CC pitching 9 (or maybe 15) innings tomorrow.
ohh man did anyone else see alex lick the shavin cream off his fingers lol… its not whip cream arod lol typical alex moment… alex being alex bandwagon? no? lol
I actually think they use whipped cream.
Yeah it was whipped cream
ohhh ok makes way more sense then… guess im the one with pie on the face this time around lol…
No, they said early in the season that it was whipped cream.
Mets blowing it… this couldnt get any better…
Shulda known AROD would do something like this
I shed a single tear tonight.
Did anyone else notice a-rod limping and holding his hip? hopefully he’s ok
I saw that. He might need some rest soon.
yeaa i saw it.. he always does that in the celebrations… its like a running joke wit melky and cano i think…
I think maybe he’s trying to protect it?
yah, that shit was scary… my fingers are crossed!
Wow that felt good!
Dang. We should run like mad on their tired catchers tomorrow.
Awesome, awesome, A-Rod.
Just an incredible win. The bullpen and AJ were outstanding tonight. And tomorrow we’ve got CC and they have Buchholz, the day after both bullpens were used up in a 15 inning game. Thank God for CC.
god now I need a beer
It’s a great day to be a Yankee fan.
ha mets with a man infield, 7 if u include the pitcher and catcher
*5 man
Today we spell ‘redemption’ A-R-O-D.
Cat woke me up at 05.00 in the morning. Thought to my self, what the h. I’ll go watch the game. Turns out we’re in top 12. Stay up and get to experience the ABomb!!
Loving life atm.
Hub hub hub
Cheers Yankeeuniverse
St.
Who says A-Rod can’t hit in the clutch? He’s been plenty clutch this year.
One word describes the Yankees performance tonight: DEPTH
That felt like a nut buster……..
Just to add the excitement.. .the other closer in NY, just blew a save.
i feel bad for the mets, but not for that dick of a closer.
I hear ya, I can’t stand that jerk off
that’ll fuck up your era
Grand slam agaisnt Jerk Rod of the Mets.LOL.
What a night !!!!!
Better to have A-Rod than K-Rod
K-Rod just gave up a grand slam and blew the game for the mets in the 9th
What a game!
I just hope my neighbors can forgive me for the insane noise I made after that home run.
Warned my upstairs neighbors in the 5th inning that loud abrupt noises may ring out.
Kinda like the fact that it landed in the Red Sox bullpen after it was officially empty.
IETCVM
