Remember when people were worried?
Remember when all the trolls flooded into RAB last night?
Where did they go?
Choking themselves or crying like that little girl that shown earlier.
Remember when CC and Alex werent clutch in the playoffs?
Remember when all these big acquisitions are total bust?
Choking? Are they trying to thrill themselves or kill themselves?
They’re choking each other in pairs, so yeah they’re doing both simultaneously.
Pull out CC, Yanks can’t hit with RISP, Swisher is retarded, Posada is retarded, Cano is retarded…
Yeah…
I fixed that shit.
Still need 1 more folks.
What did I tell you, Mustang? This shit was over before it started. These games are mere formalities.
I know I know I like dotting my i.’s.
I like steaks and blowjobs.
Married at least i can have steaks.
LOL
Remember when Buckarver thought Joe should go to the pen in the 5th?
I’m ready to start talking about what an excellent hitter CC is!
http://riveraveblues.com/2009/.....ent-627987
I called it!!!
/Lanny’d
Wasn’t it Axl who always “called it”, and not Lanny?
Ah crap. Why’d you have to ruin a good thing? Dammit tsjc!
You mean Makavelli, right?
Axl and Makavelli are/were the same person.
I know. I figured redundancy was “in.”
Nice !!!
Girardi,
Gaudin is finishing this game. Just like Sergio Mitre in that laugher in Boston, he’s not giving up 9+ runs before he gets three outs. So please don’t warm anyone else up.
He’s usually good for a couple of outs
Going back one thread, Beltran had 8 (in 56 PAs!) in 2004. So he’s tied with 2002 Bonds if 8 is the highest.
A-Rod has a shot of at least tying it.
5 in ~32 PAs with (seemingly) 5+ games to come? Yup. Wouldn’t that be awesome for him to go from “super huge choker dick” to “most HRs in a single postseason ever”?
Not gonna lie…I wouldn’t mind being called “super huge choker dick” by some people I know.
what an asskicking
i love this offense today
holy shit
i love this offense
todayfixed.
Next on The Real Housewives of the O.C.: The Yankees come to town and stick thundersticks up the no-no spots of the Pacific Time Zone Angels, small monkeys de-evolve, and Matt Palmer’s wife found dead from wounds authorities believe were caused by pruning shears.
I sorta enjoyed this comment.
Don’t be tardy for the party.
LoL’d
please explain the palmer hating
Whats with Matt Palmer’s wife?
Hence the “sorta”. I laughed, but that’s over the line.
So I guess the Yanks read the post about how they aren’t hitting at all.
We just can’t escape Josh Beckett’s long shadow, can we?
Most overrated pitcher in the majors.
Josh who?
Come on man. He’s the ace of the almighty Red Sox dynasty which according to Howard Bryant is greater than the Joe Torre Dynasty. He’s also apart of the best 2009 postseason rotation. Clearly they are favorites to win another dynasty.
Oh wai-
I’m assuming you have McCarver muted.
Smart man.
McCarver who?
More like wide shadow, eh? Eh?
alright Chad, you got day off tomorrow we don’t…lets finish this quickly..no fuckin around,.
You were warned.
:: facepalm ::
Now I know what you had your other comment redacted for. Later, bro, have a good time in ban-land.
it is ok if it ends with an ‘a’ i thought
I use the word myself in certain circles among friends, but in here, it’s not a good idea. Someone will take offense.
Yanks should put the pic of the little girl crying on the bulletin board…just for fun.
NoMaas will take care of that.
haha ietc.
That’s what she gets for going against The Dark Side.
If anyone gets that shot on file, I would love to get it.
Wasn’t Bob Shepherd’s birthday a week ago?
i thought so too, but I just checked wikipedia and they agree with FOX.
I thought so too via PTi, wiki says otherwise…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Sheppard
YES – Fox sucks!
10-2 if we’re in the bandbox.
I thought Bob had already turned 99?
nice home run trot there Rivera.
Didn’t we have Bob’s bday last week?
It’s FOX.
They’re not known for accuracy.
They rounded.
It was John Mayberry Sr.’s birthday last week, this week is Shepard’s.
What is crazy is that the Yanks really have out played the Angels. This should be a sweep.
What’s crazy is we’ve outplayed them without even playing at 100%. We’ve seen this team at 100%, when everything was impeccable.
happy birthday bob shep
You know what the best part is. The only way the Angels can win this series now is by beating CCin a game. That’s not happening.
At home as well. Fat fucking chance.
It was wrongly reported as Oct 14 – today is the right one.
Happy 99th VOG
It’s a sad day when Gary Matthews Jr. is your last hope.
Gary Matthews Jr. is like the Jerome James of baseball.
wonder how our friends over at Halos Heaven are doing right about now
love it
Probably rehashing old stories about A-Rod’s steroid use, looking for a way to find that CC knew the signals for each batter, and predicting that the Yankee batters looked the wrong way at Kazmir.
Burnett’s gonna finish it off and then world series here we come!
Lot’s of Yankee fans there. I love it.
I think half of them were Angels fans with Yankees gear on under waiting to take off their Angels gear.
not proud to say that I’ve done that. ditched glasses del sol at time of fanatico change as well. someone thought i stole a red-socks-fan’s seat and called security. then i showed him my ticket
After game 3:
The Angels have all the momentum, pressure on Yanks.
I always get a kick out of shit like that.
To Bob C.:
Yeah, you’re right about the productive out thing. Maybe I’m just frustrated…
It’s been painful watching Swisher’s ABs, because it seems he’s trying to get a walk everytime he comes to the plate, obsessed with his own strike zone and ignoring the ump’s.
Throw in the squandered scoring chances and base-running mistakes today, and I’m really pissed…
Hope he proves me wrong tomorrow or in the WS.
Maybe I’m just frustrated…
That. I don’t know why, though. This team is good enough to carry Swisher for the entire postseason and wait for him to start hitting, which he probably will.
Yup, I’m a “nit-picker”, sorry.
Love this team, and after today’s game, am more confident than ever in them!
No player is perfect. Every one has tradeoffs, even guys destined for the hall of fame. Have some perspective.
Yup, I’m a “nit-picker”, sorry.
I am too. But I nit-pick without abandoning perspective.
Yeah, Swisher should stop playing to his strengths and start hacking. That won’t make him do nothing but strike out.
He works long ABs, he takes walks, he strikes out, and he gets XBH when he does hit. I’m sorry you don’t understand that walks are more valuable than making outs is.
Wooooo@!
Yesterday seems so far away.
Happy B-day Bob! Great win.
The sky is back where it should be.
THA-AAA-AAA … … … YANKEES … WIN!
Nice work by Gaudin to finish it off.
Good job Yanks! Let’s end this on Thursday.
can’t wait til my 2009 playoff hoodie arrives!
to be fair to the Angels, Sabathia could clearly be seen in the bottom of the 5th turning around and using a bit grinder on the ball.
I think I saw some shoe shine under his cap too.
don’t forget the mighty putty in the 3rd.
ietc!
What was most egregious is when he peeked both ways and then took out a plastic knife to apply liberal amounts of Flubber to the baseball. Cheater.
Starting CC on 3 days rest is a bad idea – Steve Philips.
Ugh, Stee.
does gaudin start game 4 of the ws?
and please don’t tell me this series isn’t over yet
Game 1 of the WS isn’t until Oct. 28, so CC will have 7 full days of rest between then and now.
I bet we line him up to throw Games 1-4-7 of that series, even on short rest. The short rest is mitigated by the long rest he had between the regular season and ALDS, between the ALDS and ALCS, and between the ALCS and WS.
3 man rotation for the World Series. You heard it here first.
I expected Gaudin to have some rust, but he looked real good. I actually trust him to give us a solid 5 innings. On second thought, Gaudin against the Philies lefties might be a bad idea.
Yikes, that line is just SICK!
Solid game tonight for the Yanks. See, everyone who worried last night was just pulling the trigger waaaay to quickly. This team has been spectacular, and I can’t wait until Thursday night. Good game tonight.
Yankees>The Ledge
Great job of bullpen managing by Girardi.
Oh wait a minute…..
1 more win and then the Promise land!!! ohh how I have missed that place
Who knew A-rod was 8 feet tall?
Oh…
IETC.
hey this was in the other thread (maybe getting ahead of myself a little bit, but i dont think so) here is the schedule for the WS, and i thought id put where the pitchers would pitch was wondering what you all thought
Oct. 28- Gm 1- CC
Oct. 29- Gm 2- AJ
Oct. 30- Break
Oct. 31- Gm 3- Pettite
Nov. 1- Gm 4- CC on 3 days rest
Nov. 2- Gm 5- Joba/Gaudin
Nov. 3- Break
Nov. 4- Gm 6- AJ
Nov. 5- Gm 7- CC on 3 days rest
not sure if CC would be able to go on 3 days rest twice but ya, i think you have to use Joba/Gaudin though
Here’s my bold statement. It’s not going 7 games.
I’m definitely confident but the Phillies are a great team. Toughest test yet.
fair enough haha, especially considering their pitching pedro but still
Yeah it’s going to be tough as you and Mike Pop said but honestly I don’t think any team can beat the Yanks. The Phillies will be hard but are they better than the Angels?
At quick team glance with only OPS+ and ERA+ has them exactly equal in pitching and hitting.
I don’t see it going 7 games. 5 or 6 IMO.
That.
Oct. 28- Gm 1- CC – W
Oct. 29- Gm 2- AJ – W
Oct. 30- Break
Oct. 31- Gm 3- Pettite – W
Nov. 1- Gm 4- CC on 3 days rest – W
PUSSYTUBING.
Steaks and blowjobs too?
tommie, can we get story time on the 30th?
ABSOLUTELY LIL’ BUDDY!
(gives Mike Pop a noogie, swipes his PowerBar, takes bite and throws the rest away)
ZZ iz like a fine wine.
Black Zinfandel.
This would be a great nickname.
BTW, I’m so going to see Black Dynamite starring Michael Jai White. I anticipate utter awesomeness.
Isn’t that Urkel?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaleel_White
Here’s the Black Dynamite trailer, for all interested (and you should be):

A journey back in time…

Conveniently, Fox erased that page.
We all remember though, SGNJ.
All I’m wondering is if TSJC is still willing to pay for the headstone reading, “Sucka Got No Juice!”?
Absolutely.
Oh, and:
Mike Axisa says:
April 1st, 2009 at 12:31 pm
That is the dumbest thing I’ve ever read about anything ever.
OH WELL THAT’S BECAUSE YOU HAVEN’T READ MATT TAIBBI’S WRITING IN MEN’S JOURNAL YET, BUDDY!!!
Can Matt T ever be topped?
Ken Rosenthol: Skittles…
Assuming no rain (holla at Blind Melon!), here’s the layout.
Game 1
Game 2
Off Day
Game 3
Game 4
Game 5
Off Day
Game 6
Game 7
So we lose a day from the ALCS and Game 4 and Game 7 would both be on 3 days rest. And I do it, not question.
(Man, totally missed my “reply to” there.)
We’ve been at the World Series since the middle of August, who are we kidding.
Cue: parity outcrys.
Respond: We’re NEW FUCKING YORK FUCKERS PARITY THIS
Emplified? Bobby V… for shame.
From that ridiculous Angels blog that shall not be named. Batshit insane
So two Yankees are tagged not standing on a base, what happens? One is called safe. This is just one of many instances this postseason where the most ratings-friendly team in baseball located in a favorable media market is being gifted more opportunities to score and to wear down the opposing pitcher.
Numerous calls that should have gone the Angels’ way and a strike zone the ignored the knees and letters to an Angels starter who lives on the outer limits of the plate can only add to the frustration as anyone with an historical appreciation of the game can practically smell a media-industrial complex version of Arnold Rothstein collaborating to celebrate the 80th birthday of the Chicago Black Sox in corrupt style. (emphasis added)
oooh scary!
Don’t even read that shit. It’s just vent/trolling.
That blog is so poorly designed. It’s a hassle to read, and that’s before you really even get to the substance of the posts and comments.
that blog makes me hate Angels fans almost as much as I hate Red Sox fans.
say what you want about RS fans, they don’t have fairy thundersticks.
(fighting the urge to work blue)
That is the worst piece of biased crap ever. Thank you to the guys at RAB for not looking to constantly blame the refs, etc. when the Yanks lose a game. All of those fans were a bunch of whiners.
The Angels three arguments on why the Yankees were better tonight:
1. They’re buying a WS berth
2. The umps strike zone sucked
3. The umps were biased
Just a terrible piece of crap. If I could, I’d continually wipe my ass with it.
There is substance in there?
I should have used quotations. My bad.
Dude, they already accused the Almighty of cheating. Nothing else they could say could be any more ridiculous than that.
Oh Halo fans, how I wish you could lose in a more dignified way. It always seems that the Yankees can only win in some time type of media conspiracy. Just admit to the fact that your aging lineup and patchwork bullpen could only take you to the ALCS. The Red Sox were like racing a Geo, the Yanks like racing a Ferrari.
Just suck it up and lose gracefully. And when you win, celebrate.
*By the way, I wasn’t one of the trolls last night, so I think I’m entitled to that potshot.*
And your mom is ugly.
LOL
The score is 10-1
that is “stick your thundersticks up your monkey’s ass” big
right, zz?

They just kept it right on her.
Great camera work.
sick find salty.
Yankees: making little kids cry since 1901.
This would be the crying girl, for those interested.
THERE IS NO CRYING IN BASEBALL
Part of me feels sad for her.
The other part of me knows that she wouldn’t have to feel that way if she rooted for a good team, like, oh, say, ours.
IT’S YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT LITTLE KID YOU BROUGHT THIS SHIT ON YOURSELF
The tears of that girl brought the biggest smile to my face. I could not see enough of those disconsolate Angel faces….so very, very sweet.
Why not just bring up a picture of Gary Matthews Jr. smiling with Chone Figgins?
Her tears taste like candy.
I can taste them from my van…
Heh…
http://lolpedo.com/pics/pedobe.....dy-van.jpg
CC is so the man… this was sweet as heck after yesterday. Last night I was ready to find Lanny and club him
Oh, Lanny was here yesterday? Figures.
Glad I wasn’t…
Keep it classy, guys.
I don’t think I’d ever enjoy seeing kids cry. Not even Rick Santorum’s.
Why so serious?
ONE more win till we hear the long-waited words: The Yankees are going to the World Series.
Joe G on YES
Haha Duke Castigliowhatever is a complete turd. Where did they find that goon?
Did anyone see that stat on YES.
Al has 8 straight playoff games with a RBI. That’s an alltime record, is that only for the Yankees? I only saw the graphic for a second.
Josh Beckett has the record. He’s that good.
Ryan Howard also has 8 straight games with an RBI. They kept talking about it all day during the recaps of last night’s Phillies win.
If the Yankees are winning against the Angels, Mo must be cheating and we’re paying off the umps.
If the Angels are winning they are fundamentally good.
It’s like breaking up with a chick who says, “I was too good for you anyway.”
The answer is “yeah. okay.”
The Yankees make little girls cry, cheat, are part of a media conspiracy, had a part in the John F Kennedy’s Assassination, started World War 1&2, and were the reason for the Great Depression.
Don’t forget Watergate and the Bill Clinton – Monica Lewinksi conspiracy.
Thanks my bag
