Just 5 days 'til pitchers and catchers report.Banner Design By
Did anyone see Favre’s TD pass? Wow, just wow.
No, not yet, but I saw the Jets go 3-0, though.
yeah, nice gritty win by the Jets
As a Packer fan, I’m upset at the guy, but that was crazy.
I just switched it on and watched as it happened live. Insane.
Let’s hope Bruney shuts down the Sawx.
I have a question. Why is there a smily face on the bottom of every RAB page? It’s weirding me out.
Rule #1 of RAB: Don’t ask about the smiley face.
Rule #2 of RAB: Don’t ask about the smiley face.
And the final rule of RAB: If this is your first time here commenting… you HAVE to fight.
Word.
It’s watching you masturbate.
Kittens?
It’s Joe Morgan’s soul.
So’s this guy:

Nice.
It must just be your computer Andrew.
/Twilight Zone’d
Where?
Saw it too and was like wtf
It’s Orwell
because you touch yourself at night…
/Peter’d
Smirnoff supports squatting, vandalism and destruction of property. Yeah, drink responsibly. Imagine if people really did drink responsibly. There wouldn’t be much profit for those companies.
Barney just bought that gas station.
/Lame joke’d
must be the reason why there’s always a trail of destruction behind me when I drink…
Our weaknesses: Everything and Umpires
Cmon Bruney! Please be good and get a hold.
Alright, you number-changing, weight-yo-yoing bastard, impress me. Make me smile.
Look to the bottom of RAB chat.
Bru-ha-ha
Where is the patch on the back on Bruney’s hat?
That must be his old hat which is missing it…and then he got a new one.and must have lost that. I don’t know.
We probably didn’t give him a new hat, because we’ve already DFA’d him mentally.
He never had one.
yes he did. He had no patch, then had one, now doesn’t again
He’s probably been doing anything and everything to try and change his “luck”.
That was what we heard when he switched to 99, I think.
yea its not there
Doesn’t even have the MLB logo. He must not be worthy.
when did bruney become 99?
early last week
any reason
ian kennedy came back, but bruney wanted to change his number to 99 to get a fresh start. I guess he gave 38 back to kennedy
week or two ago??
When Kennedy came up, he either bought 38 off Bruney, or Bruney gave it to him because he was looking for a change anyway. But that was when it happened.
So…if Bruney is in, the Yanks aren’t really trying, right?
oh my, pleasee bruney.
Watching Brian Bruney pitch is like huffing paint and going to Ikea. Early on you convince yourself that it could be fun and things might work out. But it rarely ends well.
..or banging Michelin Man girls.
Strangely, of all the times I’ve huffed paint and gone to IKEA blasting Aphex Twin, I’ve never injured myself. I can’t say as much with teh biggerz.
Point taken.
I will temporarily eat my words.
0_o
Jeter didn’t try…. Good thing Teix did.
TommieSmith cue the song:
That video must’ve set them back a couple of hundred bucks…
They need more bottles because that bartender keeps spilling all the drinks. She’s turrible.
Meh, I wouldn’t mind a terrible bartender if they at least paid to get one or two decent video models. Clearly, all those girls were chicks Ron Browz and his boys knew personally and invited down to work for free.
Pathetic.
Brun baby brun!
Today, we spell redemption: B-R-I-A-N.
That was…unexpectedly good.
Was that a 1-2-3 inning?
/passes out
Bruney looked pretty good there
*sticks soap in mouth*
11 pitches and done. Wow, consider me impressed.
great job bruney
great job
Something to build on for Bruney
Even if the Sox are ‘looking at the big picture’
Steve Phillips: “AJ Burnett could give you that 3.1 IP clunker.”
In his last 89 starts, Burnett has had exactly one start that short. The Fenway game earlier this year.
Facts, I has them.
Yes, but that was the only game that Phillps saw Burnett throw.
you are wron you moron, i saw it with my own eyes…
[/joe morgan’d
Imagine if ESPN was as well informed as RAB.
Imagine if ESPN was at least half as informed.
That’s the thing that bugs me. I’m sure there are plenty of fact checkers and other hard-working folks who prepare notes full of data for the broadcasters…and then Joe Morgan reads the paper the morning of the game and ignores all the stuff that they put in front of him.
Nice job Bruney…Girardi is obviously going all out
Pedroia was actually safe.
/Joe Morgan’d
If you look with your eyes, you can see that Robinson Cano acutally created a hologram of a baseball and used that to throw Pedroia out. The real ball is actually still flying.
You’re right, don’t you remember from Fox yesterday, “Pedroia swings like Adam Dunn.”
Not to mention he is the hardest guy to strike out in the AL!
…
..
..
…
wait… he had 2 Ks and was 0-4!
damn lazy Cano and his fancy parlor tricks!
He then took a nap on the basepaths, while ARod retouched his makeup and Jeter impregnated several women in the front row.
Well played, sir.
Don’t forget Swish chugging down Red Bulls jumping around like he has ADHD.
Chad Pennington overthrows Ted Ginn Jr.
2012 must be true….
Time to move to Guatemala?
Well look at that, the Lions actually won a game.
their celebration was awesome on the sideline
Don’t remind me.
Ouch. Sucks for your Redskins.
Zorn’s gonna get serious crap from the media around DC
Deadskins are serious business
Sonny Jurgensen was ripping Capmbell the whole game on the radio broadcast.
Yeah I can imagine.
Campbell needs a change of scenery at this point – not sure the Zorn offense suits him.
When the Skins lose, DC radio gives NYC radio a run for its money.

The Redskins fan base is NOT going to pleased.
Ramon Ramirez? They arent trying
But Brian Bruney? Yanks desperately trying to win.
Edwar Ramírez for the 8th!!! Who’s with me?
I’m majorly disappointed in all of you. You should all be ashamed.
IPK for the eighth!
That’s right, I said it.
Flabbergasted.
I wanna see some IPK.
People still complaining about my boy Melky being in the lineup?
Yes. You should know that one game is never enough to change our opinion for either the good nor the bad.
Yesterday in the early game thread it was Melkman hatefest by some none regulars. I was not happy.
Nope. He got the first run it.
Drew: 1
Strawman: 0
I have no problem with Melky getting into the lineup to give Damon a day off, and I’m glad that he hit several balls hard today. I just think that Gardner had been relegated to total pinch running duty, and that was ill-conceived, especially against a team where there would be opportunities to run alllll day
Yes, Melky having a good year and my defending his place on the team is truly a strawman argument…
No, the strawman was that people were complaining about Melky being in the lineup ever, at all.
I just don’t get what Melky has to do to get a little bit of love. Maybe a big October will do the trick, I doubt it though.
I just don’t get what Melky has to do to get a little bit of love.
Stop having two-month-long stretches of shocking, Varitekian ineptitude every season.
Well, if he didn’t have those bad stretches he’d be hitting about 320 so I guess you’re right.
Agreed.
Is it crazy that as a manager, regardless of the situation, I would walk Pujols?
Not at all. Seems like you would minimize a lot damage doing it that way.
I’m loving this no sound. It’s nice
WTF? No sound?
That’s called addition by subtraction.
Good point.
I still want the ambient noise, though. I want the sound to work, but if you can kill the mics in the booth, that would be excellent.
Huh, did the sound just cut out on ESPN HD for anyone, or is it just me? It’s working on regular old ESPN, but not the HD channel.
Happening to me as well.
There it goes.
damn, Broncos were flying down the field but they could score with 1st and Goal from the 5. Went for 4th down and didnt get it. Bad play-call imo for 4th call. I would have gone for it but had a fake hand-off and throw it to the TE.
Like Sanchez?
Idk, I didnt see that game.
this is my favorite jeter season ever
Popping the champagne now is bad karma.
2001, Game 7. Mo entered the game. Seeing Mo, I knew we were golden, and I decided to have my “Victory Cigarette.” Oops.
Why would you go there? This is shaping up to be a great NY sports day. LOL.
Ugh. Quit smoking a month ago. It stinks. I’d almost rather become that guy who doesn’t get to see his daughter in the commercial than have this anxiety and cravings.
Just reread that. lol.
That’s…terrible.
I have a lot of whiskey and a crappy, miserable job to get me through it, though.
Maybe it’s not bad karma, maybe you’re just bad karma.
jeterian
HOW ‘BOUT DEM LIONS!!!!
yay no sound again!
Denver defense is the shit. Owned in the 1st series and now just picked off Russell.
i started the broncos defense instead of the pats because they are playing oakland
i am a genius
Is anyone else’s ESPN sound fading out? It’s awesome.
it is going in and out for me.
dunno, had the game on mute the whole time
That’s a really weird set position that Ramon Ramirez has. He looks like he has scoliosis.
just flipped in, who’s coming for the 8th?
Still Bruney? I guess Joe likes playing with fire.
He’s trying so desperately and using all of his cards to win obviously. Using Ramon Ramirez however is resting your better bullpen pitchers.
Bruney staying.
Has there been a Yankees beyond baseball? I’ve never seen one.
There was one about A-Rod doing charity work that supports single moms. http://artattack.transworld.ne.....osters.jpg
That’s… That’s terrible…
joba chamberlian had one
there is one with Joba and his dad
Joba has one too, about his dad and all.
There was a Joba one.
There isn’t a sentimental team commercial like there is for the Dodgers, Tigers, and Angels.
Yeah thats what I meant… Post season one..
Touchdown Brandon Marshall…He is an absolute beast. Put him with a strong armed QB (oh, maybe like a Cutler or someone) and you’re golden
I can’t decide if the Chargers are the worst good team in football, or the best bad team in football.
Worst good team.
Nice shades Melky.
ESTRADA!
Carrot Top looks horrific in that commercial.
Carrot Top looks horrific
in that commercial.Fixed that for ya.
Thanks.
HEY LOOK! I’M BO DEREK!
He’s Ortiz’ roid dealer. He also looks like he tans in a microwave.
+1
Heh.
why is bruney in again?
why not actually try and win this game?
i’ll prolly eat crow soon
If they clinch today, do they celebrate on the field or shake hands business as usual?
Somewhat in between. Probably more of a “super-pumped” hand shaking then they run into the dugout and whatever.
I want Jeter making dirt angels at shortstop.
Steaks and Blowjobs!!!!!!!!…on the field
and then, PUSSYTUBING!!!!!!!!
Melky’s flip up sunglasses remind me of Dwayne Wayne from A Different World.
greatness of a show
Whitney!!! I LOVE YOU!!!
cue rainfall
I always thought it was whitley.
It is Whitley.
truth… can’t believe i butchered that
Bruney for 2 innings. This is definitely a must-win. Anyone else wouldn’t mind seeing Marte pitching here, seeing as he actually might be slightly relevant to our playoff success?
I would rather see Marte for Big Mami than Coke. Coke gives up too many home runs
Bruney has the good slider today.
Nice job Bruney. I’d rather see Damaso instead of Coke…
YOU’LL TAKE WHAT YOU’RE GIVEN AND LIKE IT!!!!!!!
Fortunately, Papi wasn’t really trying there
Nobody puts Bruney in a corner.
good outing for bruney. must be the number.
Great job by Bruney today. Made me look stupid.
Me too. Any chance he’s on the playoff roster if he continues this success for the remainder of the season?
I don’t think so.
So has Marte become strictly a LOOGY?
It seems that way. He’s had like 2 appearances where he’s pitched to more than one or two batters.
That Skin-It Tailgate Packs is the dumbest commercial on TV.
It works.
Ooooooh, Daniel Bard. Here comes insurance runs!
Easy prediction, but I’m going to say you’re a prophet.
Nice job Bruney.
Russell picked off again! Getting booed of the infield…err football field.
Russell will go down as a 1st round QB bust along with the Ryan Leafs, Andre Wares, Davis Carrs and the Joey Harringtons of the world.
Maybe they’ll bring a righty to start the 9th and put Marte to face Drew and Varitek? I guess I could deal with that.
I still would’ve rather seen Marte…
I still would’ve rather seen Marte…
I’m pretty sure no Red Sox has ever went on a check swing.
Good job, Cokie.
well done Coke
Celebrate on that Ortiz.
That’s how WE roll.
Good job, Phil.
Marte>>>Papi
Wow, I mean Coke>>>Papi. Then again, my toenail>Papi, so whatever…
BARD IS TEH CLOSAH OF THE FUTURE!
BARD IS THE CLOSER OF THE FUTURE!
Mmmm…Coke.
Big Sloppi. Ain’t shit.
On the other hand, Mark Teixeira says “Daniel Bard ain’t shit”
Nice job Cokey, struck out Lil’ Nino.
Lines all around!!! on me
it’s teh bard!!!
excellent job coke! love it
Haha Bard. So funny.
TEX MESSAGE!!!!!
Tex just touched the untouchable Dan Bard. Again.
TEX broke Bard again!
THAAAAAAAT was a YS special.
Reply fail, but:
http://riveraveblues.com/2009/.....ent-603490
NAILED IT
I’ll reply down here, as well. It’s an easy prediction, but I’ll be bold and say you’re a prophet.
Bacon for dinner?
HELLS YES
Since you’re tooting your own horn.
http://riveraveblues.com/2009/.....ent-603132
hell yeah!!!!!!!!
closer of the futureeeeeeee!
Texy is sexy.
yay dan bard
Closah of da futchah!!!!
I’m pretty happy that Daniel Bard, Closer of the Future, has started his career by promptly becoming the Yankees’ bitch. Real nice of him.
I can get used to that.
TEH BARD!
hahahahahahhaa dan bard for the loss
Ha Love me some Bard.
D-Rob >>>>>>>>> Bard
Bahston is obviously not trying by putting their shitty relievers in.
(Psssst… they’re all shitty…)
that was my point
I just like saying that.
I am dumb
I am enjoying Tex v. Bard.
This team in THIS ballpark.
That’s a broken palm.
Boston is definitely not trying by putting in the best closer in the future in the game.
2 handed catch: FAIL
1 hand catch: SUCCESS
I can’t believe I always miss Michael Kay when these ESPN jerks are on.
same here
Tex is Bard’s daddy.
/Pedro’d
Fear the 100mph balls.
Okay, so what the hell do I put for the Magic Number Counter, assuming they hold on?
A Yankee group picture.
Restart at 11 brudda.
I like this idea.
why?
if you want to facebook me, i can give you a photo of dela g…
Champagne?
How about a picture of #27, which is what they’re going for after all.
Put Girardi up in there.
idk, put up a pic of Manny in a Sawx uniform or something stupid…
but funny stupid though…
A picture of Jeter doing his victory fist pump?
This.

Divide by zero?
Or this:

I’m with ya Andy.
A picture from them celebrating after the game?
that’s actually a good idea… leave the Magic Number headline though…
Photo of the postgame celebration?
Can I get a halleleigh Mo.
This:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F.....ped%29.jpg
A bottle of Cristal?
The only bad part of watching the Yankees in the playoffs is listening to these F’n a-hole announcers on Fox, ESPN and whatever other channel they will be on. After Fox yesterday and ESPN today I have come to the realization that these announcers are mentally handicapped.
Well, your only alternative is to mute the sound, delay the game a little on DVR, and turn on Sterling and Waldman.
I wanted to somehow watch the potential celebration but cant because ESPN wont show it.
YES will have the postgame show.
Tune to YES for the postgame if you get it.
YES must be having a postgame, right?
They probably would have had one after ESPN’s coverage if this was still the Sunday night game
Nope, I dont have YES here
Swish is gonna jack one.
“It depends on when you play a team how you’re going to come out.”
This is so brilliant I can’t even see straight. I am awed.
Who has photoshop skills? Can someone please photoshop Bard into this poster?
that would be awesome.
LOL.
Here, put this up as the Magic Number: Some drunk Dominicans:

PA LA TUMBA!!!!!!

“He has a son. He is not gay!”
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!!!
Thank Mo the pups and carpets are OK
Thanks Scooter
Careless dog groomers are the worst.
He Seems diligent and I asked him before he started if he ever nicked the littel guys and he said it happens.
Oof. Sounds like a nightmare, but all’s well that ends well.
Exactly.
Wow, yikes.
Well, at least you’ve got good sports stories to cheer you back up today…
I was glad to get back just in time to see the Yanks take the lead.
Wow. Sounds like you’ve had a fun Sunday. A great NY sports day should cheer you up.
It has. Yankees – AL EAST Champs!
I figured you stabbed someone, and it wasn’t any of my business.
/OJ’d
Very funny.
Two more outs.
Gardy what the hell.
wow gardner fail
End the 25 game with a dp.
wait, why PH if you dont care about the game? i thought Francona was giving these games away on purpose?
What is going on I have the sound off.
What was that, Robbie?
He thought he had it and it was time for acrobatics. But he didn’t have it.
This is not good.
DP please
Nows not the time fellas.
Cano had his mind on the Presidente champagne.
cmon Mo, finish this shit…no more bloopers
Mother******
Hitting streak ovah ?
No. Need at-least two at-bats, I think.
No.
Very wrong. Sorry.
Should be. That’s gotta be ruled an error…
Cano tried to get too flashy. Wouldnt have had him at 2nd anyway.
That’s how I saw it. He’s in love with his highlights.
NOW? NOW you decide is the time to be “pretty”?
Defense fail here. Come on guys.
CANO WHAT THE EFF>???!!
1 more out
alright
one more out my friends
I’m legitimately excited/nervous… wtf
This Yankee team is taking years off my life.
Start spreading…
…Boston’s cheeks…
and bend ‘em over…
HA!!
Division champs.
No WEAKNESSES!!!!!!!
DIVISION!!!!!!
STEAKS AND BLOWJOBS FOR ALLLL!!!
Let’s go to Mary Carey in the clubhouse…
Mary, it’s a microphone not a…!
Yay Mo! Ya sweep! Yay division win!!!!!!!
BRING ON TEH PLAYOFFS.
9-9!!! AL EAST!!!!!
Ballgame over !!!
Division over !!!!
THE YANKEEESSS WINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WIN!!!!!!!!!!!
AL EAST CHAMPS BABY!!!!!!!!
YES!
AL East Champions!
Red Sox: Nice game.
Yankees: Wish I could say the same for you… bitches.
[drops pancake on plate]
I just watched that again today. Classic.
Grits v. Bonbons
It’s OVAH
http://fotr.mlblogs.com/Yanks%20Win.JPG
YANKEES WIN!!!
DIVISION OVAH!!!
FUCK YEAH! Way to go, Yankees.
Now let’s go get #27.
The Empire strikes back.
Can we please get a spate of “The Yankees are in the Sox’ heads” articles now?
Did they make a TShirt that fits CC!!??
not sure one size fits all will work.
Doesn’t work with gloves, doesn’t work with t-shirts.
100th win, division clincher, tied the season series with Boston… Nice win… and Pettite gets the win, and Mo with the save…
Just Beautiful. It doesn’t get any better than this.
A world series win will ;]
Yes it does. You’ll see, in about a month.
Just Beautiful. It doesn’t get any better than this.
Well, a walk-off against Papsmear, but yeah, this is SWEET!
Man, Mike Harkey is one huge guy, isn’t he? He looks as big as CC.
http://www.baseball-reference......mi01.shtml
6’5″, 220 as a player; he’s gotta be like 260 now.
Too bad Ortiz can’t participate in an exaggerated celebration of his team’s second place finish in the new Yankee Stadium. Jackass.
Haha. They didn’t clinch yet did they?
Ortiz FAIL.
“That’s how we roll”
I don’t think they’ve even taken any off the magic number. I think Texas hasn’t lost in the last three days.
He doesn’t have time to celebrate anyway, he’s busy
trying to find the real killerstrying to investigate how he could have possibly tested positive for PED’s when he’s innocent.Must’ve forgot his PEDs for this series.
After the way we started vs Boston, if you would have told me we’d split the season set, I wouldn’t have believed it.
You just can’t predict baseball.
CREAM PIES FOR EVERYONE!!!
CREAMPIES FOR EVERYONE!!!So Mary Carey IS in the clubhouse.
If you’ve never had sloppy 23rd’s then you ain’t lived.
/Frankie Cervelli’d
post game starting on YES.
But NOT on NESN. Heh.
Gammons is on ESPN. Will he cry?
Objective Number 1. Get K-Rob ready for October.
Damn. Gammons is Bitter.
That was perfect. John Kruk finishes explaining how the Yankees have subdued celebrations and don’t get too excited about occasions like winning the division, and ESPN cuts to a camera in the clubhouse that shows the Yankees in goggles spraying champagne everywhere and partying. Kruk is such a fucking moron.
I know! “You don’t see Mo or Jeter there.”
Cue: Mo spraying dudes with teh champagne and grinning his face off.
Phil Coke: “The minor league system is good too”
Best part of the New Yankee Stadium….stain proof carpets.
I still think it’s the 50-person hot tub.
AJ’s dad is having triple bypass tomorrow
Glad we clinched it before he flew back to Alabama
“TEX’S homerun should have never left the infield.”
SCREW YOU ESPN!!!
gooo yankees.
Kruk with the Swisher love.
