A-Rod and CC, postseason busts.
CC makes me believe in life after love.
CC Makes me believe it’s not butter.
You know I’m picturing you wearing this right now, don’t you?

You know I’m always picturing you in bullfighter pants, right?

So is CC going to be back out there for the 8th? He is at 92 pitches now and still dealing.
not only he is going for 8th, he is finishing it also..
CC Sabathia >>>>>>>>>> Big Chipotle Cheese Steak Sandwich.
Bigger than beating You Know Who.
CC>Voldemort
+1
12”.
Its pretty good!
CC is better than this burger: http://www.bigvidpro.com/?v=iwE9YoJghd8ZEPDM7HhX5Q (safe – watch the whole thing)
CC >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ninja Assassin
CC > my expectations
ZZ?
V is for Victory!!
ZZ says you will take it up the behind and like it, Kendry Morales
I swear Steve Phillips told me CC was a bust in the postseason…not to mention earlier today, advantage ANA
CC=not a big game pitcher.
c’mon lets get some insurance so i can take some nyquil and wake in time to teach the kiddies
Is Napoli wearing pajamas?
CC < McCarvers assholeness (is that a word ?)
Fuck the Rally Monkey, CC will gnaw on his bones.
I swear McCarver is Napoli’s dad the way he worries about him.
Well, he is a former catcher.
(Just like Marines, there are no “former catchers.”)
I understand that, but every time a Yankee gets hurt, he neglects that and worries about Napoli.
A tack or run or four would be nice.
gardner gonna run? i shouldn’t have to ask.
Just get a SB, Gardy. Give us some more confidence in you. It’s a 5-1 game so the risk is OK.
and what did mighty eric karros say in the fox pregame today? something like CC can be beaten easily and kazmir will outduel him
Maybe Gardy will actually swipe a bag this time.
Sincerely,
Matt Taibbi

What a Jackass
This will never not be funny.

Can Gardner start for Swisher tomorrow? I can’t take any more of Swisher’s mistakes (hidden or obvious).
I mean, the day after tomorrow.
when will people stop being retarded
Name one good thing he has done?
I can name 10 things he has screwed up, SO FAR.
He hasn’t been thrown out trying to steal.
Yeah, but he’s been ruled out for coming off the bag earlier and costing the Yanks a run.
That’s 100% not Nick Swisher’s fault.
You can’t seriously be blaming Nick Swisher for an ump robbing him with a horrible call, can you? That’s batshit insane.
I watched the second close replay and he did come off the bag earlier.
The umpire didn’t blow the call.
Name one good thing he has done?
1.) Hit .249/.371/.498 (126+)
That was in the regular season…
And?
He’s been putrid in the post season so far, so it’s time to give someone else a chance.
It doesn’t necessarily have to be Gardner.
who then hairston? guzman? they dont really have that many choices…
He’s been putrid in the post season so far, so it’s time to give someone else a chance.
I agree. Swisher hasn’t really hit much in these last 7 games, so let’s bench him for Gardner or Hairston. This is the best idea I’ve heard of since my idea to bat Alex Rodriguez 8th.
Sincerely,
Old Man Torre
please name them, btw not getting a hit does not count its not like he isnt trying or that gardner would be better in anyway
I’m not going to count not getting hits, but how about driving in runs with less than 2 outs with productive outs? If he had done it at least once yesterday we would have won.
if only everybody could be as good at baseball that they can hit the ball for a productive out every time
would it be greedy to ask for one more inning..
Interesting thing I noticed with Melky. When batting right handed, he takes his top hand index finger off the bat before loading. When batting left handed, he does it with his bottom hand index finger. Either way it’s the right index finger, but just interesting.
He’s still smelling Mary.
Not again…
Well goddammit
Gardner has no real use to the Yankees.
Late-inning defense isn’t real.
wow great series for gardner
gardner is super fast but he sucks at getting a jump
He should take a lesson from Posada.
‘member when gardner could steal?
That was awesome.
Ok… so Garder = useless.
Good throw.
looked safe to me.
Second that.
Thank you
Dude, Gardy, go learn some baserunning from A-rod. With his smarts and your speed, you could steal 200 bases.
Sheesh, Gardner has not been running well off the bench.
Okay Gardner is no longer option 1 for PR.
I’m starting to agree with you. Time to give Fast Freddy a chance.
Gardner can’t get his jumps down.
gardner is what 0-3 on sb attempts now?
man, Gardner is loosing his charm..
It’s almost like people were overrating him…
People were overrating both his hitting and defensive abilities. He’s a solid runner, though. He really needs to get his shit together.
Damn that Scioscia and his managerial genius!
I thought tie went to the runner. Still, Gardner has sucked it up.
Gardner should absolutely lose his pinch running job now. Give Guzman the first shot. Three times he’s pinch run this series, and he’s made three outs. Just awful.
agreed
come on, one was a DP
He ran on a soft liner in the infield. That’s just as bad as getting caught stealing.
sure and now he walks arg
He was safe.
That’s 3 of us.
ehh … sadly enough I can live with that call from the umps. It was actually close.
Matt Palmer sighting?
I don’t care how much you love your wife, take the fucking ring off, you goddamn ball-scuffer.
Gardner looks as if he isn’t comfortable running.
man we’ve made a lot of mistakes on the bases…we should be up 8-1
These commercials are making me want to kill my direct TV customer service rep.
Gardner was so good at pinch running in the regular season
Thank god for Gardner. What a big difference maker off the bench he’s been!
time for guzman to overtake gardner on the SB depth chart. gardner takes too long to size up the pitcher, hes shown it many times during the year. and now hes failing
luckily we are the only team with back up pinch runner
plus he ran in the LEAST pressure situation and still failed
Rickey needs to come to NY and teach Gardner a thing or two.
“it takes 27 outs to win the game”-McCarver.
great throw in Timmy, that broadcasting school has really paid off!
/Uecker’d
They don’t call him the best color man in the game for nothing!
I don’t like these Angel Bullpen guys. They’re boring, names all end in -er.
Dammit, thought Jeter had a single.
Wow! Great play by Aybar.
“A lot of the Angels bullpen looks alike.” Yah, they look like shitty-ass relievers.
All us white people look the same.
OH SHIT THEY FINALLY ADMITTED IT
The ones with squishy faces and developmental disabilities look different.
Tack on run against the ball-scuffer, please.
Go back to the minors where you belong.
Tack on run given.
There you go. Maybe Aybar can catch that one. Damonic!!!
nice play by Aybar…McCarver just came.
I was just talking to my roommates about the Baltimore Chop, and there it is! Sick play by Aybar.
I know there’s a Wire joke in there somewhere…
Aybar spits hot fire.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJN76byPYZk
It’s not that hard when the ball is slowly coming to you, McCarver. Gloves aren’t needed for that.
gone
LOL, 6-1? Think again~
RISP BITCHES
Signed, Sealed, and Delivered!
I think you gotta take CC out now…jmho
that makes me happy
a Johnnie Rocket!
Game. Set. Blouses
Game.
Blouses.
/Prince’d
insurance runs bitches!!!!
Johnny Rocket !!!
CC for the complete game now?
Way to be, Johnny.
Key up FRANK
FUCK YO COUCH!
game
suck it scoscia
Sheesh Damon sucks, get his old ass outta here!
Blasto!
Thanks Damon. Now save some offense for Thursday
ball game over
Go back to the minors, you fucking scrub.
Should have scuffed that ball more. Fuck your wife, too.
Why so angry with Palmer?
HAHA
Signed, sealed, and delivered from Johnny Damon.
GET SOME, DAMON.
He’s decking it on the road.
Scott Boras just…..jizzed…in…his…pants.
HAHA!!!!!
I was just like, Damon is 0-4 today so maybe he really hasn’t found his stroke just yet. Then I say to myself, “watch him HR here.”
And…BAM!!!
los Jankees para el gano!!!!
You said something about clubbing baby monkeys, yes?
/should have taken Spanish, not Latin
And with that (knock on wood) i can say goodnight
Let’s hope Damon is back.
i like seeing johnny hitting HRs outside of YSII
Damon heating up?
Let’s hope so.
And I was thinking, imagine if it was 7-1. And they say Damon can only hit it out in Yankee stadium.
that was smoked sure are alot of cheers in that stadium
No reason to send CC back out no IMO.
I reject this opinion.
no reason not too this isn’t june
Stomp on their throats. I love it.
john lennon’s corpse is now sick of this song
Matt Palmer is still a cheating piece of shit. Fuck your minor league talent, and your busted wife. Take off the ring when you pitch.
/super worked up about it
let it all out, I like that shit, express yourself
Whats with Matt Palmer and cheating?
This game: http://www.baseball-reference......5020.shtml
He was rubbing the ball with both hands while off the rubber, as pitchers are wont to do.
However, he was wearing his wedding ring while doing it. Riiiight. Certainly would make it easier to scuff the ball a little/hide something to scuff it with. I refuse to believe a career minor league scrub could have a good game.
I refuse to believe a career minor league scrub could have a good game.
So did Dan Giese cheat for most of last year?
It’s just something I’ve never seen before. The announcers remarked on it, as well. Maybe other pitchers don’t love their wives, or Palmer’s a cheater.
Or, it’s something totally innocuous. I’m not listening to reason here, though.
Relax, I don’t even think there’s actual proof of any scuffing (correct me if I’m wrong), just a musing, it’s up there with the Mo spit ball rumor right now
I’m making this accusation with close to zero evidence, because I’m a dick. See above post.
/half kidding, but we all need someone to hate
Just making sure I wasn’t missing some real evidence.
Perfect. Now Al will have a shot at a fast ball to stat pad his way to a Yankee record.
*tie
Still the record.
Angels WE at 1%.
http://www.fangraphs.com/livew.....=291020103
Beautiful.
Monday was solo shots day, Tue. 2R shots, Thur. is 3R shots day..get ready guys
breaking news!
yes folks it’s fresh off the wire. The Los Angeles Angels of Disneyland have hired ronan tynan to sing the national anthem for all home games.
A match made in 1930′s germany
mel gibson will throw out the first pitch on opening day
how is this funny?
Tragicomedy?
GAME SET AND MATCH… Thank You.
Gardy should get thrown out more often. Seems to lead to teh homah.
It does, doesn’t it? Also, when I deflate the air in my blow-up doll, the Yankees score runs. That must mean…!
That homer looked like a homer hit by a 30 year old man.
/Boras’d
Must be the genes.
/SuperAgent’d
Not that I’ve been thinking about it, or anything.
/Boras’d
I planned that.
/Damon via Boras’d
You can’t whip homers like that up in a lab with a turkey baster.
Boras: Hello
Cashman: Hi Scott…
Boras: FUCK YOU PAY ME!!!!
LOL LOL LOL LOL!!!!
WHY IS SABATHIA STILL IN THE GAME
BECAUSE HE’S AWESOME AND PITCHING A GEM
JUST TO PISS YOU OFF!!
Because Girardi doesnt want them to think they cant fuck with CC…he wants them to KNOW THEY.CANT.FUCK.WITH.CC!!!!….Carsten Charles if you’re nasty!
Because
A: He’s good
B: He’s great
C: Abreu’s a leftie
He’s rolling
Girardi is undermangaing to make up for overmanaging.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT WE’RE YELLING ABOUT!!!
I love me.

hahaha. JMK bringin the heat.
If I’d signed a $252 million contract, I’d kiss the mirror every morning, too.
do you waste MO in the 9th ?
Nope.
can you waste a reliever in a game you’re winning in the playoffs, with an off day tomorrow?
Hell no.
I say crush em, show em whose their master.
Sho ‘Nuff!
Let’s let Gaudin have an inning.
It’s been what, two weeks? Three?
i love that these fans will have to go sit in traffic for 3 hours after their team loses
“The best Scioscia has seen on a day to day basis.” Must be the gospel truth since Scioscia is the greatest baseball mind EVER in Buck’s mind. I’m sick of hearing about the unfounded wisdom of this pompous douchebag.
It’s hard to find JUST a group of Angel fans in the crowd. That NY pops up everywhere
That’s why they keep zooming in awkwardly close on random people in the crowd.
ADVERBS ARE NOT ADJECTIVES, MCCARVER!
I LOVE YOU. I thought I was the only one that caught that. Amazing.
how did palmer cheat?
Edited by RAB: Say that word on our site again and you’ll be banned.
OH SHIT I MISSED IT NOW I’M SAD
CC Sabathia >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bobby Abreu.
CC >>>>>>>>>>>>> Angels
I hope CC doesn’t opt out
If he wins 3 rings here he can do whatever he wants.
Once he gets three rings he’ll get the craving for more.
Why get a puppy if its just going to be dead within 20 years.
Pardon Mike Vick!
That’s 2 years away, enjoy him while he’s here
This lead is Bruney-proof! I don’t care if he’s not on the roster, bring his ass in!
Overpowering stuff? They had him written off dead 3 innings ago.
CC! CC! This guy is amazing!
Do you let him go the whole 9?
I would ..just for the coolness sake,..
My baseball side says NO.
My arrogant Yankees fan side says YES
Carsten Charles laughs at Rally Monkey with middle finger up..
cc is throwing as hard as aybar
And at the century mark, CC has thrown over 2/3 of his pitches for strikes. *yawn*
CC is da man.
The Captain showing CC some love.
called himbro.. wt CC aint got no nickname yet?
Push the envelope? Let CC start the9th?
CC to the Angels…
WANT SOME, GET SOME!!!
/Kirk Lazarus playing Sergeant Lincoln O’Sirus’d
I know what dude I am. I’m the dude playin’ the dude disguised as another dude.
Just because it’s a theme song don’t mean it’s not true.
Man.. 8 innings of 1 run ball!
CC THANK YOU MY BROTHER!
i let him go 9 or try. why not? 10 – 15 pitches more? let him have his day. he’s earned it.
CC proving tonight that pitchers just do not pitch will in the postseason on 3 day’s rest!
/steve phillips’d.
Yeah he pissed me off saying that shit giving records of pitchers that have gone on three days rest. Those other pitchers were not CC SABATHIA
Agreed.
Finish what you started CC
Guys, CC just pitched 8 one-run innings on short rest.
The Yankees have a holy trinity of Mo-Arod-CC
Wait until Jesus comes.
/Jizz’d
CC is worth every fucking penny
And now fangraph is at 100% That’s better than Bruney-proof, that’s farnsworth-proof
I’m going to go ahead and say nothing is Farnsworth-proof.
True, but the second he screws up CC will just beat him senseless.
Anthony Claggett proof?
CC FOR PRESIDENT!
There we go, he’s gotta be done. And hey, A-Rod.
A-rod is just showing off.
16 IP. 9 hits. 2 runs.
A-Rod stat padding, hahahahaha
You can’t stop him and you cannot even contain him.
Double? Bust.
Bat Around! Let A-Rod get the cycle!
Heh. Matt Palmer.
A-Rod and CC are on another level from these pathetic Angels.
Alex now officially tired of jogging around the bases…decides to take a break at second base.
Half-way through his swing he thought to himself “Neh, lemme just get to second. Give the other guys some post-season RBIs.”
I would still rather not see Chad Gaudin
is anyone else afraid that arod is not clean?
Brazilian Yankee… you moved?
currently?
Like that not so fresh feeling?
Not at all. He admitted in taking them, the smart thing to do is stop.
No.
Like how? Like he’s still wearing Kate Hudson??? maybe.
Yea, he’s not. He’s been gettin VERY VERY dirty with Ms.Hudson
no wtf
You’re nuts… he probably gets tested more than anyone in the league. He’s one of, if not, the most gifted baseball players to ever play the game. He never needed roids, look at that swing. He’s a once in a lifetime talent, enjoy him while he’s here. Pujols is not on the level of A Rod.
A Rod = That White Nigga…. Here comes Gaudin, we may need 5 more
This will end badly.
alex is a this PS. if he can carry this into next season v the Royals and O’s, fohget abaaht it
all of a sudden fox can’t get off Arods Nuts.
Cmon, someone let A-rod score to pad his stats.
Nice time for Gaudin to shake some rust off.
Hah, right on cue.
Agree on Gaudin
yay for more tack ons
A-Rod makes things happen.
I love the Yankees so much.
The Man is on a Mission.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!
Hustle.
angels baseball
SPREAD it ON!!!!!!!!!
/Super Trooper’d
[Catches rifle and poses]
Abreu shows off the cannon!
Arod for playoff MVP???
Without a doubt.
Hah, that was an eff-you play right there.
Well that was unneccessary but I’ll take the run…and I think that hip is 100%
Oh I’m sure his hip is 100% *looks at Kate Hudson*.
Thats some salt.. rub it in ursleves guys
A-Rod is gritty.
ZOMG Arod padding up teh stats like always… And CC like usual choking in the postseason…
grit-rod
A-Rod rubbing it in. Love it.
take that aggressive base running Scissoa
They are making these guys look silly.
Chad Gaudin with the Immaculate Innning coming up.
Yes. I love it.
WE WANT CHAD!
WE WANT CHAD!
WE WANT CHAD!
Matsui could use this day off.
Probably take him off tomorrow in place of a switch hitting Posada with Molina behind the plate?
That could work.
off-day tommorrow!
RoBB
Arod grinder par excellence
wow matsui just looks totally lost tonight oh well go get’ em thurs
What’s the record for most post-season home runs?
Beltran? He was the dick’s balls when he was with Houston.
They’ve showed the overall leaderboard multiple times this postseason, and the single-season was the trivia question this very game.
Manny – 29
Bernie – 6
Wasn’t the Bernie one just for the Yankees, though?
Bonds with 8.
http://www.sadtrombone.com
to the crowd.
what are they trying to prove, staying here?
Why would Hughes even be warming? If Gaudin gets in trouble he’s obviously going to Mo…
I think they should get Matsui’s knee drained tomorrow for the hell of it..Its been couple of months since it was done..
hahahaha
Keep those hot bats warm, we need to finish them off first opportunity.. thats the statement…
Conversation at the ballpark after yesterday’s game: Hello momentum?…I’m CC, AKA the next day’s starting pitcher. Nice to meet you.
Does the world series schedule work for a 3 man rotation? i am a little worried if the yanks are gonna have to start Gaudin or Chamberlain
I just checked it out. World Series starts the 28th. They’ll be fine.
CC would pitch 4x…it’s gon b k.
Not really. If CC goes in Game 1-4-7, Games 4 and 7 will both be on short rest.
Thankfully, it’s moot; we’ll only need 4 or 5 games to dispatch of the Phillies.
I’m almost certain that Gaudin or Chamberlain is going to have to pitch, unless they want CC on 3 days rest 2x.
BANGWAGON.
PILE ON BITCHES
Melky>>>>>>>>>>>>>>The haters.
Check that, this is an eff-you INNING.
hahaha to the little girl.
Stupid stat-padding Melky.
As I said earlier, a RISP explosion is imminent.
Haha Joe Buck… “More Runs”
screen shot of little girl crying?? I think she was preparing a spit-ball!!!
The Melkman delivers again… 4 runs!
Well here’s the blowout win you asked for Mike…
PUT A FORK IN THEM!
LOL…now this is just mean. HAHAHAHAHA.
I’m liking this to get the bottom of the order feeling good.
oh man did I need a laugher
Well, Paul O’Neill says that a team that rallies for runs late usually wins the next day.
However, he usually says that about a team that’s losing. Hmmmm.
I literally cannot wait to hear what Steve Phillips will have to say on CC’s performance tonight. I guess the Angels are going to wait for the 9th inning after Sabathia’s been pulled to hit him hard?
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
I’m sadistic, that little girl was crying just like the rest of LA along with the ANGELS!!!!! I laughed so hard. Now the crushing blows, coming in from left and right.
Damn I didn’t see a negative Melky Thread today
haha..i love this shit..
Easily could have been a sweep. Not too close.
Every phase of the game (baserunning, defense, poise, clutch hitting, bullpen) the A-team is not as advertised.
lol @ Alex: “That’s what I’m talking about!”
Good night everyone
Remember after the first two games when people said “If the Angels just start playing their game…”
Well the Yankees just played their game… and it wasn’t pretty for the Angels.
