    Finally. They deserved it with 100 wins.

  2. Brooklyn Ed says:

    0/8 against the Sox is meaningless!

    I wonder if Girardi will put out a C lineup from here on now?

  3. JackISBACK says:

    WHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

    Peter Gammons looks like he’s about to cry on ESPN now. And Kruk trying to say that it means nothing if they don’t go anywhere.

    Anyway, WHOOOO!!!!!!!!

  4. Salty Buggah says:

    I think its awesome our big boys Tex and Alex scored the tying and winning runs and the guy who apparently Lil Nino is better than brought them in.

  5. pat says:

    This game was on fuckin ESPN and no mention of it on the dot com. EFFF YOUUUU

  6. Frankie says:

    Nice. Now they can rest all the starters.

  7. D says:

    All is right in the Universe.

  8. Rey22 says:

    And in Boston’s face too. Beautiful.

  9. Salty Buggah says:

    I hope YES or ESPN have the celebration videos online because I want to see them.

  10. Jake says:

    Swisha getting his DRANK on

  11. Continuing the story… So they cut back to Kruk and he says something like ‘yeah, sure the Yankees are partying, but did you see guys like Posada and Jeter doing the partying?’ Cut to Kim Jones interviewing a champagne-soaked Derek Jeter over on YES. (And, as Riddering noted in the other thread, Mo is spraying everyone with champagne.)

    So, again, just to reinforce the point… John Kruk is a fucking moron.

  12. Andy in Sunny Daytona says:

    Mariano talking in the third person again, “Thank God”. What an ego.

  13. Dela G says:

    can you believe we won back to back games on Fox and ESPN?

    I can only remember doing that once before, also against boston (the bronx beatdown in august…)

  14. Mike Axisa says:

    Swisher’s awesome. Pounding champagne mid-interview.

  15. JobaWockeeZ says:

    Imagine Swisher when drunk!
    Damn his interview was full of win.

  16. Drew says:

    Ha how can u take Teix seriously with some blue ass goggles on.

  17. Tampa Yankee says:

    Did Gammons actually say that “Hughes and Rivera are by far the best 1-2 combination in the game right now”

    WOW…

  18. Ivan says:

    Come home from work and the yankees win the division. I love this, I really fuckin do.

  19. SWISHER IS AWESOME.

    As is them soaking KJ.

  20. Drew says:

    hahahaha kim jones

  21. JMK says:

    Peter is a very attractive man. Wow.

  22. Randy A. says:

    David Cone’s mouth is watering watching all of them pound bottles of champagne.

  23. pat says:

    They’re gonna be hung over as fuck tomorrow, might as well forfeit.

    • Salty Buggah says:

      Me too :(

      They better post those videos online. I am going to E-mail the fuck out of them if they dont and force them to.

  24. Brent says:

    Kim Jones champagne bukkake.

  25. Accent Shallow says:

    This was fantastic.

  26. Scooter says:

    Suzyn Waldman: “They just got Kim Jones”

    And they’re pouring champagne on her, too

  27. Will says:

    ESPN’s headline: “first division title since 2006″.

    • Zack says:

      what about being in the red sox’s heads after going 9-1 against them? fire francona articles? papi disgrace of the game? pitchers only like to throw to tek? turmoil in the clubhouse?

      no? oh well 100 wins with a week to play says it all

  28. Andy in Sunny Daytona says:

    Motorcycle Cop: “So, Ms. Jones why do you smell like alcohol tonight?”

  29. Jersey says:

    Johnny Damon still can’t pronounce “Teixeira.”

  30. Andy in Sunny Daytona says:

    Big George is back in Tampa raging about all of the excess facial hair.

  31. Kiko Jones says:

    Clinching the AL East, 100 games, and a sweep of the Sux in the new House…oh, how sweet!

  32. Ken says:

    Anything less than a World Championship is unacceptable. They will embaress all of us if they don’t.

  33. Drew says:

    lol at Kruk hating on Al.

    Al “I’m just living in the moment..”

    Kruk “Well, yeah, living in the moment but where’s he been the past five years?”

  34. Jake says:

    Johnny slurring his words much?

  35. Scooter says:

    Rangers up 5-3 in the 8th – so the RS magic number could remain 3 after today.

    Good thing the Sox are taking it easy getting ready for the playoffs

  36. rbizzler says:

    Awesome. So exciting to watch the ESPN guys eat crow while the Yanks pop the bubbly.

  37. Mike Axisa says:

    So, tomorrow’s lineup:

    Gardner, CF
    Pena, SS
    Hinske, 3B
    Shelley, RF
    Miranda, 1B
    Hairston, 2B
    Cervelli, C
    Molina, DH
    Guzman, LF

  38. Faiaz says:

    Damn!! Jason Zillo is on top of his game. Did anyone catch him taking the bottle of beer away from Arod’s hand before Kim interviewed him? Arod giggled.

  39. JMK says:

    What would the Royals B lineup even look like? Would it blind everyone within 70 miles of the stadium? Would there be nuclear winter? Could the Mets beat them?

  40. Andy in Sunny Daytona says:

    Gammons is arguing for CC for Cy Young because he beat the Red Sox 4 times. The VAUNTED RED SOX….

  41. J says:

    Where do the yanks drink after games? I want to do shots with Swish

  42. Salty Buggah says:

    We should just play the NY media members tomorrow.

    1B Feinsand
    LF Murti
    2B Caldera
    DH PeteAbe
    RF Carig
    SS Borden
    CF McCarron
    3B Bob Klap
    C Hoch
    P Kepner

  43. Souter Fell says:

    Yanks officially own the ALE. The world is finally coming into balance.

  44. Keanu Reeves says:

    Today is a good day.

  45. whozat says:

    Dude, I asked myself the other day if Hughes was growing a playoff mustache, and he TOTALLY IS!

    He looks so grim!

  46. Mike Axisa says:

    That is one dirty mustache Phil is rockin’.

    • Souter Fell says:

      That stache should come with a van and a sign you’re legally andated to post on your front lawn.

    • whozat says:

      I wonder if he’s doing the playoff stache all by himself, or if there’s going to be a bunch. I’d love to see Melky and Robbie try to grow them.

  47. Souter Fell says:

    What’s up with the Phil Hughestache?

  48. Will says:

    Haha. It looked like Jones was trying to pet Hughes’ mustache.

  49. Zack says:

    kim whatd you learn from this guy [pettitte]?

    aj: never too old to be dirrty

    haa

  50. Mike Axisa says:

    Kim Jones: “What did you learn from this guy?” (points to Pettitte)

    AJ Burnett: “You ain’t never too old to be dirty, man”

    Awesome.

  51. Drew says:

    Did I miss Jorge or has he not been interviewed yet?

  52. desus says:

    Phil Hughes with the Dirty Sanchez ‘stache.

  53. Mike Pop says:

    fuck yeah !

  54. crapulent says:

    I missed the Swisher interview. What did he say?

    • Mike Pop says:

      He was just stoked about being in New York and being ‘blessed’ with the opportunity to play for the Yankees. Hinske got in on it for a second and they were just all happy and yelling.

      • Kristen says:

        Also, “champagne and eggs, that’s a good breakfast” and a shout out to the Bleacher Creatures after he swigged champagne between questions.

  55. The ESPN reporter doing interviews in the Yankees’ clubhouse couldn’t look more miserable. (Not because he doesn’t like the Yankees, he just looks like he’s soaked with champagne and his eyes hurt.) Poor guy.

    • JMK says:

      He lives under a bridge. Take it easy on the guy.

      • Bob Stone says:

        JMK – I replied to your comment on living in the Boston area as a Yankee fan long after the thread closed. You might get a kick out of my response if you have the time or inclination to check it out. Or if you want, I can repost it here.

        • JMK aka The Overshare says:

          Send me a link or repost it.

          • Bob Stone says:

            Here it is:

            Totally agree. I lived on the Boston North Shore for 19 years. Same experience as you. One thing that was fun was the Saturday morning Mustard & Johnson show on WEEI radio. More Yankee fans would call in than BoSox fans. It used to piss off a lot of Red Sox Nation Faithful. Long live Frank from Gloucester (where I lived).

  56. Souter Fell says:

    The ESPN crew sounds more depressed than FOXNews after the ’08 election. Way to be sportsfans there, ESPN.

  57. Mike Pop says:

    I enjoyed Al’s interview, and of course AJ’s. CC’s too, awwww fuck it I enjoyed ‘em all!

  58. dkidd says:

    anyone noticed mo struggling to remember nady’s name?

    talking about swisher:

    he’s fit in great. that guy gets hurt……………………nady gets hurt

  59. Ivan says:

    Wats up with Hughes rockin the 80′s porn statche.

  60. Tom Zig says:

    Two things:

    If Boston was taking it easy and not really caring about the rest of the season, then why put Martinez in to pinch hit for Varitek…on the same note why would they pinch run for Martinez?

    Magic Number is now: -1

  61. JMK aka The Overshare says:

    So does Joba’s last start determine if he’s in the playoff rotation? Or has the first performance solidified it?

  62. Andy in Sunny Daytona says:

    Does Gammons believe in the dentist anymore? Looks like he needs to read some teeth whitening ads on RAB.

  63. Bob Stone says:

    This is such a great day. Yankees clinch the AL East and best record. They sweep the Sox and even up the season record after going 0-8. They prevent the Sox from being the first team to ever celebrate in YSIII. The Jets win. The Giants win. No Yankees got hurt. The Empire is making the universe safe again for women and children.

  64. crapulent says:

    snuggies now come with book lights. I could not be more excited.

  65. Tom Zig says:

    Red Sox are the first team to win the first 8 games of a season series and not win the season series

    • Bob Stone says:

      +27. Good stat. Didn’t know that.

      • jay says:

        Hey Bob I read earlier about you missing because of a bloody emergency. Meant to ask, did everything work out ok, you ok?

        • Bob Stone says:

          I updated everyone and thanked you and others for your concern. Here’s the post:

          Thank you Tom Zig, TSJC, Crapulent and JMK for the concern after my message about the bloody home accident. Everything is fine.

          Explanation – I was pet sitting (3 dogs and 3 cats) for my sister because she had a mobile pet groomer coming to her condo but had to go out for business reasons.

          The first dog got nicked in the lower eyelid but seemed ok. I went back to watch the three games (Jets, Giants, Yanks) and chat here and to prepare some info about my management consulting busines for the dog groomer (who just started his business).

          Fifteen minutes later, the puppy that got knicked had left a trail of blood throughout the entire condo on the carpets, the sofas . . it was everywhere. I took care of the dog and then had to clean everything. The place looked like someone committed a murder in here.

          I had to clean the blood before it set and didn’t want my sister to think I was totally irresponsible. So, an hour and half later, with the help of a carpet shampooing machine, all the blood is gone.

          Right after I posted and watched the Yankees take the lead my sisher returned and I gave her the update on my exciting pet sitting experience. She felt bad that I had to do so much work to help her (she’s a great sister). So that’s the unabridged reason for the long delay in responding to you.

          Net, net – I missed the entrie Jets and Giant games and most of the first five inings of the Yanks. That was beyond aggravating.

          Thanks again for the concern. You guys are great.

          Sorry for the rambling response. Go Jets, Go Giants, Go Yankees. AL East Champs!!!

  66. Accent Shallow says:

    I’m ordinarily not one for schadenfreude, but I did read the game thread at SoSH.

  67. jay says:

    So besides Mo, no ESL Yanks we’re interviewed??? That can’t be right..

  68. crapulent says:

    New York is good at baseball and football.

    Oops, sorry Mets fans.

  69. Salty Buggah says:

    Hey, is this an open thread or do we wait for one?

  70. Tom Zig says:

    Karl Ravech must really hate A-rod.

  71. Me says:

    30% of Massachusetts fans think he should get traded.

  72. Tom Zig says:

    at least Shelley Duncan didn’t say anything ridiculously inappropriate today

  73. Salty Buggah says:

    Woohoo. Yanks clinch the best record. Broncos improve to 3-0.

  74. Quikksand says:

    Yankees Win.
    Jets Win.
    Giants win.

    Perfect sunday!
