I’m Calling Jeter for the pie.
His Cluch factor + due factor = 100% probability.
Nine threads? I love this game.
This has to be some sort of RAB record.
Let’s blow this thing and go home!
How many times must I smack you before you act right?
PSH! ONE! PSH! TWO!
TWO SMACKS!!! HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
Ahhh, classic Dave Chappelle.
/Chappelle’D
IETC.
Yankee Classic…and you know what that means.
This is the game that never ends, it just goes on and on my friends.
Mr. Simpson, you have the best legal case I’ve seen since my false advertising suit against the movie “The Neverending Story”.
/LionelHutz’d
Audi, Proud sponsor of the US Ski team.
WOuldn’t they be better off just saying, “official luxury car brand of the NY Yankees?”
GMJ can’t even pretend to be pissed at that strikeout..even he knows that he sucks..
Is 9 threads a record?
We broke the record about two threads ago.
That’s how we roll.
/Big slapi’d
How about having someone as badass as Robertson as the 6th guy out of the bullpen. The Yankees seriously are the tits.
So, I’m getting the game through another channel, and I have Rick Sutcliffe calling the game with some other dumbasses. ..He just said Robertson doesnt have his usual fastball because…….he “usually sits around 98-99 with movement”.
Wow.
i love it
let’s hope this is the last as the yanks win 4-3 in the bottom of the 12h
Melky-Posada-Jeter-Damon-Tex-ARod
Confidence Level: 27
/Deja-vu’d
I second that thought!
I was in the bathroom, puking. What was the rationale for walking Izturis?
Shits and giggles.
Force at second or to try and give you a stroke too..
Gary Matthews Jr. sucks balls.
set up the force at any base? And Matthews is a shittier hitter, I think. easier to K.
Highest K/9 rate of any AL hitter, according to the booth.
DRob + GMJ = end of inning
Santana shoot…
need to play small ball here…
What, are you going to have Posada bunt?
Play your game, Yankees. maybe you send the runners in some counts, if you get some guys on.
9?
Nvm, me fail.
Hm, did Buck and McCarver just make out? They sound and look all lovey dovey.
How bad does Buck wish he was calling the G-Men/Saints game right now?
Melkman will deliver here
Is Joe Buck wearing a Wrist Strong bracelet?
Melky ends it.
The 2009 Yankees once gave their fans a scare.
Just so they could see how it feels.
They are.
The Most Amazing Team in the World.
well played.
That.
Santana, FTL.
Ervin Santan
0.1 ip 2h 2er 1hr 0k
Just got to get to the bottom of the 13th for the King of Gotham to make another appearance.
I feel confident. Everytime the Yankees get in these tight games, they always come out on top. My confidence only grew when we got out of the Twins with bases loaded 0 outs and then Mark T’s “Shot Heard Around The World”
P.S. —> I hate Joe “I Know Everything” Buck.
but I love your fadeaway J and penchant for cigars.
Jete hits 435 /.519 / .739 / 1.258 off santana…. ends it here
I wish ARod could bat in every inning.
I wish we had 4 Jeters and 5 Arods.
however, santana isn’t someone i’d like to face here…
We’ve been looking at a lot of nice pitches pass through the middle of the plate.
sportsguy33 Peyton Manning and Alex Rodriguez are the 2 most clutch athletes in sports. I will now sprint through a plate glass
Longest game in the stadium by a longshot.
Maybe the latest game… bu tthat 15 inning thriller against the sox must’ve been longer.
True, but there is baserunners everysinglegoddamninning.
Love the sesame street reference.
True, The Count FTW!
It’s times like these that I lived on the left coast
That doesn’t make sense.
/RonBurgundy’d
Heh
I love the fact that it’s 9:40 right now!
damn right. I’ma get DRUNK after this game! WHOOOO!
/gets book, plumps pillow for early post-game bedtime.
Ervin Santana is sporting a hell of a beard there.
Mike Blowers HR prediction>>>>> McCarver’s 12 inning prediction.
Damn, straighten that out, Melky.
Melky, just uppercut that motherfucker into the seats.
They went ahead and put the tarp on the bullpen mounds because this game is over.
Cmon Melky.
Melkys had great at bats the past few days
Try to get on base Melky.
Lefties hit .323/.385/.526 off Santana this year.
Longest game? Didn’t we have a game end in the 15th inning off an ARod homer once?
hip hip jorge!!!!
damn, santana got em
Posada has to swing for the fences… he cant run the bases
is it just me or do the angels throw A LOT of breaking balls?
Let’s go, Jorge. Get it done.
That’ll work.
Jorge to his hands-
I’m gonna piss on you drip, drip, drip, pee on youuuuu.
c’mon Jorge…………..
run hairston?
Yesssssssssssssssssssss.
jip jip horhay!!!
ah wait…damn
hairston pinch run?
What a rocket by Posada!!!
He…wait for it, wait for it…
FISTED that ball into right field!
Pinchrun Jerry Hairston Jr?
nahh cuz girardi knows jeter is going to hit a homerun.
Wow, was it me or the 2b REALLY fucked up there?
HAIRSTON!!! FUCKING NOW!
Pinch Runner?
Alright, way to start it up.
Derek Jeter = walk-off triple.
pinch runner?
And NOW, you use Hairston.
Abreu mustve been playing by the Yankee bullpen.
Glad Girardi doesnt have any more pinch runners on the bench. If we’re gonna win this … its gonna be with the classics on the base paths.
We’ve had so many nice balls drop in covered areas. Lets capitalize.
Lets show the Twinnies how to execute base runners!
twinnies?
If this were the regular season, I’d want Cano benched immediately. Mother fucker.
Nothing on the ground, Captain.
many ladies have sweaty palms at the thought of pie-ing Derek too.
IETC.
Someone said the ALCS would be a slugfest but this is sorta ridiculous.
Isn’t nine IX?
Or does that not include the original
Ninth thread.
Like the Prevent Defense, the no doubles D has screwed both teams a few times this game.
Chasin’, Jeets. Calm.
Bad pitch…JEter trying to end it there.
how freakin slow is jorge?
Really Jorge?
ugh…Hairston would’ve been safe there.
derek jeter is a good baseball player, especially when it comes to hitting. For this reason, I think he will perform well in this at-bat, and help the yankees win the game by hitting a home run, which will be it’s zenith.
/6th grade sentenced
hahaha, so true.
oh wow posada you have to be running
OH SHIT THE UMP IS IN AYBAR’S HEAD NOW
So no pinch-runner for Posada because??????
Then WHO WOULD CATC….
oh, that’s the entire reason Cervelli is even fucking here? Oh, right.
WOW jorge. WOW.
sigh.
Aybar was waaaaay up the middle on that, damn.
Alright even if Damon doesn’t come through…A-Rod will next time.
This is one of the best games I’ve ever watched.
Can’t believe ARod has saved the day twice in the bottom of an inning to keep a game alive.
Can we call on Mark T again?
Will he answer?
gr.
Great, up to Tex again.
So… why wasn’t there a pinch runner?
You got me. No idea.
That’s what’s weird…Joe manages the pitching like he expects the team to score soon, but manages the position players like he always wants to have someone still on the bench.
TEIX FOR PIE
KILLING TIME
What the fuck is Jorge doing?
Can Tex finally do something, anything, in this game?
JOHNNY ROCKET!
Nice rip, Johnny.
Tex. Please.
OK!!!! Come on Tex this one is for the doubters….one more pie!!!
*puts on Tex jersey*
I PITY THE FOOL WHO THINKS MR. T CAN’T HAVE PIE
Wow. The baseball gods want the pie for Tex. Let’s do this.
If your Tex, you KNOW your getting something here. You know that. Just be patient and take a confort swing.
Its the song that never ends……..ARod saves the day and Mark T ends the day.
please mark
I hope Tex gets more pie. Cmon Tex.
Teix do something please.
I want Tex to walk and Al to finish..
Teix time.
5 infielders?
We’ve seen Santana’s #’s against lefties… but they fear the Octobe-Rod
It’s Rodtober.
I LOVE THE 2009 NEW YORK YANKEES. CONGRATULATIONS THIS GAME IS OURS. RIGHT HERE
No way Santana pitches AROUND teixeira. this guy is ice-cold. and hopefully hungry for alittle glory.
Tex says fuck you Joboo I do it myself!
Texiera… ??? YOu cant keep doing nothing
Please lets end this.
“First base is open, but THAT man is on deck” bwahahahahah
wow he is really nibbling
They were seeing if he’d get himself out.
It almost seems like asking too much to ask ARod to get another hit right here.
I just got a tex message… FORESHADOWING?!?!?!
WE’RE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS PEOPLE
Mark T walks….Arod up to bat for clutchness!!!
ARod walk-off walk?
I’ll take a walk-off HBP. Or a wild pitch, or a balk, or whatever.
I don’t think he wants to settle for that
This would be one heck of a time to get the first hit with RISP of the night.
this is DUMB.
OMG Walkoff Walk?
A-rod time
Cmon A-rod
All of these at bats seem to be with 2 outs.
By all means, walk Tex to get to ARod. Thanks guys.
TEIX WALKED OMGH WHAT THE FAILURE!
/LoHud
pass the baton. PAtience Arod…a hit will suffice.
insanity.
Alright Alex.
WIN THIS.
Are they really going to let A-Rod hit with the bases loaded?
WOW. Mike Scoscia has balls. Big, giant, hairy balls.
Pitching to AROD?
OH BOYYYYYYYY!!!!
They should intentionally walk A-Rod to save the shame of losing 7-3.
Scioscia has officially checked out.
Please can this end??
EVERYONE! ATTENTION! ATTENTION!
THE KING OF GOTHAM IS HERE TO SAVE THE DAY
Sleep, please!! kids are going to be up in 5 hours..
Stupidest move of the history of the world
Santana has awful splits against lefties, I guess.
That’s incredible
If there was ever a justice..Al will kick one out here..
Wow they basically intentially bb tex to get to A-Rod.
damn it
damn it
damn it
damn it
Oh Jesus Christ.
Damnit
Sweet. Lord.
Fuuuuuuuck.
Shut ‘em down, Dave.
ZERO FUCKING HITS WITH RISP. That’s just awful.
Oh great, Guzman and Gardner to lead it off…
single, sb, single sequence could win it.
WTF is going on here???????
ow
Anyone who is not a Yankees/Angels fan is asking how the F did these two teams get to the ALCS
Heh.
“These guys all suck!”
/CasualFan’d
nah
Apparently, Kate Hudson went home already…
damn
Oh man!
gah
This is like a heavyweight boxing match. Awesome.
and next inning we have guzman, gardner, melky
Before it got to commercial did you read A-Rod lips? he said “motherfucker”
Damn Scoscia and his omniscience.
SOB
Pinch hitter CC sabathia. I went there.
now there is an idea.
I would LOVE to see that if it’s still 3-3
certainly better than watching guzman.
Over Guzman? Heck yeah I’d think about it
No way I’d take a shot at my ace pulling a rib cage swinging in this cold
Freaking Cano trying to give this away
bleh
Scioscia is a nut case. You let ARod tie the game and then possibly end it?
NEW THREAD
HAHAHA goddamn this is a fucked up game.
Seriously, this isn’t fun anymore.
Now it’s not.
Fuck man, we can only ask the pitching to do so much.
unclutch.
btw FOX just went up a notch in my book with that transition song (I Got Mine by the Black Keys). That puts it at notch one.
Wow and this is going to go on for how many more weeks?
I am officially sick of this game.
Cant get one fucking hit with a RISP??? what in the world????
Pie in the face for The Guz?
You have to wonder if they should have pinch run for Posada there.
We just cannot get a hit with a RISP
Guzman & Gardner leading off next inning. terrific.
Haha, I just love these types of games. I have a pistol loaded and ready just in case this ends poorly.
to shoot cano i hope
This game is gonna end with a Jeter homer one minute after midnight on November 1st.
ludacris….they dont play baseball in november the weather would be terrible
I think you missed the joke. And, this year, the WS will be in November.
Oh Cano, wtf.
cano ftl
CANO=GOAT
not Greatest Of All Time
Maybe Guzman can go do it, how many people expected Aaron Boone in 2003?
guzman has one career hr in 93 ABs. but it is yankee stadium.
Inside the parker.
The Angels OF defense hasn’t looked stellar, you have to admit.
ok, now that is disgusting. just disgusting.
Anyone else uncomfortable with Robertson out for another inning? Fuck, Cano ain’t helping…
Other choice is Gaudin.
u feel better with gaudin?
No.
damn it cano
what the hell cano
Cano is officially done with this game. That was fucking terrible.
Seriously. This is not fun.
This is such a crazy goddamn game. Quick question – let’s say the Yanks run out of pitchers. What happens?
And god damn you Cano.
We won’t run out of pitchers. Gaudin keeps pitching once he comes in.
I don’t think you can “run” out of pitchers, you would sub in position players
wow, I screwed that up
Cano blows tonight. Ninja level downgraded tonight.
you know who knocked in the first RBI tonight?
Ninja level returned?
I’d much rather he field routine groundballs.
He had the RBI triple
He’s not a real ninja, he just plays one on TV.
I’m gonna go nuts
God Dammit Cano!!!
Misses it completely.
Cano was awesome during the regular season. WHAT THE F MAN
Check if any relations between bookies, Cano, and Aybar
I don’t even know what to say about Robinson Cano.
Say, “damn, that Matt Kemp trade sure would have been nice”
he’s plays a terrible 2nd base.
…
(thinks for a second)
Nope, I’m good with Cano.
and an error to start the inning.
Cano you motherfucker
The Yanks are going to win despite themselves.
Great, fielding error to lead off the inning. I feel really good if they score a run that guzman, gardner, or melky will hit a solo homerun
Yankees middle infield D fail for the evening.
maybe Girardi can pick up a bat in the next inning…or KLong.
Hasn’t anyone learned Pettittes pick off move yet? Execute now!
Thanks Tim. I assumed, once you tried to bunt, you were legally bound to bunt every pitch of the a.b. Ya learn something new everyday…
The more you learn!
At least Cano caught that throw from Posada.
This game is hilarious. We’re going to remember this eventual victory forever as an epic thrillride.
I sincerely hope you’re right.
You haven’t lead us astray yet.
you never cease to amaze me. I love the Yankees and ridiculous walkoff victories.
you never cease to amaze me.
That’s what SHE said!
This game just keeps getting better and better.
That Aybar and Figgins combo is really starting to irritate me.
figgins = beetlejuice from the howard stern show
We are playing just like the angels did last night with all these errors
I wouldnt walk abreu here
I’m going to puke.
I just got those same words in a txt message from my sister who is also watching this game lol
LOL
/ Tom Gordon’d
I hope Guzman has been taking practice swings underground the stadium. we really need him to rip off a single.
regardless of what happens here.
Why walk Abreu to get to Torri Hunter? I feel like Hunter is a more dangerous hitter than Abreu this series.
Righty Righty
Open Base
Double play
forceouts dawg.
That, and Hunter’s more K-prone.
Sorry Torii. You’re cool and all, but you’re about to fail and I will smile.
to lose on that buckneresque error would be shitty to say the least.
Time for another “sneaky fast” fastball.
How’s your cup, Jorge?
I hear doubts again.
They sound all too familiar.
You folks still haven’t learned your lesson, eh?
Wait and see.
D Rob for the strike out
lmaoo “rattled around from one thigh to the other”, what a man of words.
“This is a guy that throws 95 plus, and we just haven’t seen it. That must be the reason for the mound visit.”
….Unbelievable comments by Sutcliffe.
Come on D-Rob.
Cmon K-rob please
cmon drob
please get out of this
Over 400 pitches and counting? This should have been a CC start. He could have added to his complete game total.
Come on D-Rob.
wtf fox now is not the time to spazz out
Ok, can ONE SINGLE YANKEES PITCHER realize that you DON’T HAVE TO THROW THREE STRAIGHT BALLS every time you’re in an 0-2 count????!
Why do I like baseball? I forget.
Brett Favre.
just realized I got the TV,radio, blog, text message, drinking multi task goin on…..im proud of myself….and quite drunk
And you spelled all that right. Good job, Slappy.
Mccarver. Go take a nap.
I stopped listening to them 6 innings ago. I don’t know how you can listen this long.
you got this k-rob.
CC is thinking, “Really?”
Vladdy scares me here, not going to lie.
Not me.
Why now? He’s been punchless all series.
He K’s on heat, and Robertson K’s with heat.
Dude, I don’t know if I’ma live to 25.
One more out PUHLEASE K-Rob
PLZ pitch to Vlad.
So, Derek Jeter = Larry Bird?
SMH
SMH?
Shaking My Head
more like magic.
More like Jason Kidd or Blake Griffin.
/Sheffield’d
come on, Houdini!!!!!
I want a throw out at the plate and Aybar getting drilled in the face by a Jorge tag.
wow. jeter/bird analogy. I don’t wanna puke after a McBraindead comment. Whodathunkit?
he doesn’t get cheated !
If the bat was made of rubber Vlad would’ve chocked himself right there.
I can has 10 threads?
Who needs Mariano Rivera? We got David Robertson!
Blasphemy take it back take it back!
Joe Buck says nothing after that filthy pitch! I hate this bastard.
D-ROB!!!!
Robertson. For. The. Win.
Dominance Factor, ftw!
Im goin to have a heart attack….
Absolutely nasty breaking ball. Nasty.
I LOVE IT
yea lets go guzman!
