ALDS Game Three: Yankees @ Twins
By
The last playoff series our beloved Bombers won came five years ago, when they sent these same Minnesota Twins home for the winter with a win on their own (astro) turf. That series went four games, but this year’s version could end after three.
Standing in the way of the Yankees and an ALDS sweep is none other than Carl Pavano. In his four seasons with the Yankees, Pavano made just 26 starts and threw only 145.2 IP. This year, his first post-Bronx? Try 33 starts and 199.1 IP. Pavano called his four years in pinstripes a “black period,” but now the righthander has a chance to repay some of the $40M he stole from the Yanks by going out and throwing a clunker today.
It’s tough to expect another thrill-a-minute roller coaster like we had on Friday, but stranger things have happened. Here’s the lineups:
Yankees
Derek Jeter, SS
Johnny Damon, LF
Mark Teixeira, 1B
Alex Rodriguez, 3B
Hideki Matsui, DH
Jorge Posada, C
Robinson Cano, 2B
Nick Swisher, RF
Melky Cabrera, CF
Andy Pettitte, SP (14-8, 4.16)
Minnesota
Denard Span, CF
Orlando Cabrera, SS
Joe Mauer, C
Michael Cuddyer, 1B
Jason Kubel, RF
Delmon Young, LF
Brendan Harris, 3B
Jose Morales, DH
Nick Punto, 2B
Carl Pavano, SP (14-12, 5.10)
As you’ve surely already heard, the Angels beat the Red Sox tonight in Papelblown fashion, so the Halos await the winner of this series in the ALCS. TBS and Chip Caray once again have the call of this game, with first pitch scheduled for 7:07pm ET. Enjoy.

I hope the Yankees hit Pavano like I hit the sauce last night, extremely hard.
I hope the Yankees hit Pavano… extremely hard.
here here
Pavano can finally help the Yanks clinch something. He just won’t be on our team.
Jeez, the Broncos mistake are going to kill them. Missed FG. A stupid running into the kicker penalty from their own fuckin end zone.
Speaking of the Broncos, what the hell is up with Jabar Gaffney’s socks? Who are you, Bizzaro Peppermint Patty?
Throwback unis. The Broncos’ unis are kinda ugly.
The referees unis are ugly too.
Yeah but Gaffney’s are different then everyone else’s. They are twisted instead of the stripe pattern.
Hmm, I didnt notice. I’ll try and see now.
Yeah, everyone has vertical brown-and-yellow stripes, but Gaffney’s are twisted like a barbershop pole.
Win.
Play today, win today, das it.
Just win, baby.
Win.
Sweep the leg.
Baseball is not meant to have so many off days. You play almost everyday for 6 months staight and then you get to the post season and play 2 games in 6 days. Now, after we bring the ruckus tonight, it will be 3 games in 11 days. I don’t understand scheduling.
Think “maximize national TV audience.” Then you’ll understand.
I have sooooo much homework (mostly reading with a midterm paper). So, should I watch the Yanks and stay up until very late (dont have class until 12) or do the homework and watch the highlights later?
Salty Salty Salty… You’re going to be up late tonight.
Yea, I thought that. There’s no way I’ll miss a Yanks game, even if I try.
Stock up on them energy drinks or some coffee to keep yourself awake man.
Nah, no need. Im used to this. Last year, I averaged 2-3 hours a night, except on weekends, for a month straight and most of 7 months.
Watch The Game is more important
Let’s put it this way: Which are you most likely to remember in 10 years? This game, or this midterm?
Hmmm, probably this game…unless I fail the midterm and it takes my scholarship away (very highly unlikely)
You have your whole life to do homework.
The Yanks Game 3 of the 2009 ALDS will only be on live for a few hours.
You actually have to ask?
Yea, I’m kinda struggling in this class. I hate this professor. He doesn’t teach anything and goes on tangents all the time, wasting the class.
I’m a father of two and I’m going to tell you what i would tell my kids.
Education is the most important thing in the world…. now get the chips and the Yankees Foam Fingers.
Done
No chance you’ll be able to ignore the game, so sit back and enjoy it, and plan to start your home work in about three hours or so.
Who brought the guacamole?
I forgot it is that a problem?
THAT’S BUSH LEAGUE BRO!!!!
I wouldn’t listen to the umpire. No way would I leave when I just got there. Anyway, isn’t the party’s host job to have guacamole? What a shitty get together.
Agree.
.
Oh, you guys have to see that shit too? I thought that was a local commercial because I live in california. I didn’t think y’all would have to put up with avocado propaganda back east.
The arms of the Avocado Mafia reach everywhere. They’re like the Black Hand of Fanucci.
whereabouts? I’m in the East Bay.
WOW! Fuckin Broncos ST!!!! Now, they jumped offside on a punt attempt on 4th and 2. NE ball again!
Close this thing and end a great week.
GO YANKS !!!!
Pavano is going down. That is all.
Over/Under on “fisted” calls tonight?
16
Please Please Please beat the is P@$$! A$$ M*&^%#$ F^%$**&…. If there is ever such a thing as payback it can happen tonight…
6 Strong from Andy with a lead….. game over… pretty easy formula… Lets get it done….
Andre Johnson >>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Cardinals
Yea, that was amazing.
So who else is going to watch the game in a different language or else on mute just to avoid Chip Caray?
I am a professor, and you have my permission to watch the game!
Oh, and GO YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Small request: Please use the reply button. Thanks in advance.
Woohoo TD Denver. Tie game. Now lets just not let them score please. I want NE to be sad tomorrow with Bahston already getting swept.
Let’s start this game the right way:
Three-run leadoff homer from Jeter in the first inning!
My g-d can you imagine baseball in Minnesota next October? BRRR!
I’m rooting for the Royals to win the ALC.
Tom Brady just flat out missed Wes Welker there. That throw was Jamarcus Russell-esque.
Yea, that had TD written all over it.
Cmon Broncos, score a TD now and win it.
Nice hair Mauer!
That was a nice Yankee Douche hat right there.
Woah, Gaffney’s socks are even uglier.
Demolition Commence Sequence in 5..4..3..2..
So how did Pavano have a 4.64 ERA during the regular season for CLE/Minn, but he has a 5.10 ERA for the season? Did he pitch for some other team?
Carl Pavano wearing Torii Hunter’s #48:
More offensive than Morgan Ensberg/LaTroy Hawkins wearing Paulie’s #21? I say yes. Torii WAS the Twins.
O-Cab kind of looks like a Geico Caveman who shaved.
Let’s go Yankees!
Pound Pavano!
Damnit Orton
I say Pavano Pitches 3 innings gives up 5 runs and leaves the game with diarrhea and indigestion.
No, he leaves with a sore buttock, two broken ribs, and appointment for TJ surgery.
…eew. Can’t he just leave with indignant bowel or garrulous toenail or something?
Ah damn, dont fail me now Broncos D. No more missed tackles please.
Oh Johnny, I remember when you were on fiya.
Yea, he needs to get it going again.
I wonder if this skid is going to continue throughout the postseason? It’s basically rendering Jeter useless.
I mean, JoeG rested him about as much as you CAN rest a guy who’s your regular corner OFer, and he fell apart in the last month of the season. They’d need a 4th OFer better than the other half of Gardbrera to sign Damon as their 100-120 game LFer.
It seems like he is far too pull happy now adays. He has grown quite a fancy for hitting it down the right-field line and it has affected his hitting as a whole.
Less long-ball, more gap.
Damn that kinda stunk.
Wow, this is like 2003 all over again dude.
(thinks for a second)
No, it’s not.
hey wanna get a laugh in before the game…chack out these screen shots of the Boston game where TBS had the score wrong…HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Boston Sucks!!!!!!!
http://www.flickr.com/photos/p.....83/detail/
I noticed that as it was happening, as I’m sure did many others, but there’s no reason why the score should have changed at all, unless there’s a Red Sox fan at the controls with a twitch finger, hoping, praying for a run.
At this point I actually get mad when Chip Caray doesn’t say a ball off the hands was fisted. That was a perfect opportunity.
Ah fuck. Almost got lucky there.
OH FUCK! NOW THE BRONCOS DID GET LUCKY!
Vonnie Holliday >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tom Brady
Orton Fail
I bet this game ends in a tie. Watch.
There’s no delicate way to put this:
Eat shit and die, Carl.
True story, Nick Punto is such a good athlete that he won the silver medal in the Olympic Decathlon at the age of 13
also hes a baseball player
Hey,

Lets go Yanks, make Pavano earn thay 39.55$

I wonder how cold it is in the baggy. AP was just asking the home plate ump if he could blow on his hand.

wow andy is getting squeezed there
I love how the Yankees embrace the whole Evil Empire thing at the Stadium and play the whole Darth Vadar thing on the screen. Don’t care for the Rocky crap because he was the underdog.
Andy’s getting dirty tonight.
http://mentalfloss.cachefly.ne....._cover.jpg
Andy didn’t have great command, but he got the job done.
Does this make him gritty?
Is Mashmore OK after today?
I don’t think he’s pasty white enough.
Nice Andy
hey Mike, dont you have to turn of the plugin?
I hope A-rod somehow gets a lucky HR to make up for the GS he lost thanks to Gomez
Nice Pitch, Carl. Thing you killed an ant hill with that one.
Pavano on his game so far. We’ll get to him.
If the Twins and Rockies somehow wound up in the World Series, it would be weather delayed for 8 months.
I love Matsui but every pitch he takes looks like it punched him in the gut.
cmon yanks, the bats have to warm up here
its carl effing pavano
I Hate Pavanoo
It must be that swashbuckling goatee…
Can someone tell me who the hell is this and where was he when he was a Yank?
Applaud while it lasts Minnesota! He’ll break your heart. You’ll see.
-Milano’d
“looks like pavanos on his A game” really chip carey? JACKASS
Why are all the notes now centered? Or it is my computer?
da same thing with my computer.
something has gone goofy
Webmaster FAIL
Look at all this room in here !!!
It’s like Kramer’s Adopt-a-Highway luxury lanes.
We can get so many extra activities done. Like aerobics.

RAB is being weird.
you too i though i was my computer
it was..
Did the site just get fucked up?
I assume the boys had a tiny glitch while turning off the read/unread comment icon. Give ‘em a minute.
No. I want my burrito now.
Shit, working on it.
this is what happens when pavano pitches well…everything goes haywire.
the fabrics of reality has been shattered
hey i am in the center!
anyone who says the giants arent going to the super bowl is a fucking idiot….and i know this because i know alot of idiots
Hmm. Something looks different, did RAB get a haircut?
hahaha IETC
Pavano getting all his good pitches out of the way so he can get rocked in one inning.
everyone keeps saying stuff like this but honestly it didn’t happen once this year he was great when he pitched against us and they look awful right now something about the approach needs to change
Calm down. We got this.
CJC, it must have happened many times this year. The dude is carrying a 5.10 ERA. That’s not pretty.
We’ve gone plaid
It’s more like tie-died.
I feel like I’m commenting in Citifield.
Fix this shit tommiesmithjohncarlos
I like how people think I’M in charge and shit.
I’m just a humble man like you. Well, maybe not like you; I have a huge cock. In all other respects, though, I’m just a humble man.
hilarious
Carl Pavano making the Yankees look like little leaguers. Guess you can’t predict baseball
sterling’d
I’ve never really understood that phrase. When I was in little league I ripped baseballs.
me too i was a major league hitter…in little league
RAB is trying to appeal to middle America.
FUCK YEAH! BRONCOS WIN! PATRIOTS LOSE! YEEEEEAH! 5-0 BABY!
I’m scared!
Pettitte looks dirty tonight.
Did Josh Mcdaniels just pull a Ray Lewis?
did he kill somebody ?
Did he rat someone out?
amn, andy pettitte is rolling
Someone forgot to pay the bills?
With a break in the action I needs RAB’s help here.
I am down by 8 pts in my fantasy league with one player to go.
Who would you play. Rickey Williams vs. Jets or Nate Washington vs. Indy.
Thanks.
Nate has a better shot than Ricky.
Thanks Mike, yeah I was leaning that way.
I agree. The Jets defense is a beast. Play Nate Washington.
Will do. Thanks.
haha patriots
boston sports fans having a bad day, huh?
Yes, Sir the day just keeps getting better.
I’m putting all of Bristol, CT on suicide watch.
You need to.
lmao at those Ray Lewis replies.
Andy is Dandy so far.
Someone tell Herschel Walker that he’s NOT a football player anymore. He’s a MMA fighter.
…I don’t remember having that many shots, did someone swipe the real RAB and put in this… one?
Someone fix this! This is annoying as hell
my comments all look so small ….and dumb
… nah, too easy.
Pavano smells cold hard cash right now.
After this game he can go back to being Pavano.
Melky will go deep.
ugghhhhhh its getting annoyin the page lookin like dis
I think it’s funny that they are going on and on about Pavano and his first pitch strike. 3 of them were hanging off speed pitches. I hope he keeps throwing those for first pitch strikes so they are launched.
I love how the site is all screwy but we just ignore it and plow through that shit. We’re warriors.
i haven’t noticed anything because i’m too busy pussytubing
I like the way you think, buddy.
Never give up. Never surrender!
lets go yanks!!!
Swish was a little too eager to walk.
Swisha with the 3 ball walk!!!
Swish pulling a Jorge…
Homer?
Swisher, it’s the playoffs. Know the count.
Somebody should swing at the first pitch.
Like Jeter did?
Hey its back!
I hate it when Pavano scrunches his face and you see the ugly nostrils on his ugly schnoz.
I’m using the third base camera on mlb.com media player, and watching his smug smirks is even worse.
His nostrils are mini-black holes of fail.
Yeah…for RAB being fixed, not for the strikeout.
BOOO normal
This is more like the RAB I know and love.
damn it swisher
Even when Swisher embarrasses himself, it’s awesome.
About time this got fixed. Now the Yanks will break Pavano.
back to normal….relatively
That may have worked had Posada or Matsui been running.
When in doubt, roll it on the turf to first.
That was your solution to the XML error, wasn’t it?
For the last time, Mike, you cannot drag-bunt your way out of a malformatted cascading style sheet.
infield hit.
Melky in this motherfucker. he don’t fuck around!
Punto has a hell of an arm.
I FUCKING HATE CARL PAVANO.
ugh.
thank you melky.
melkman!
I hate Pavano sooo much!
THis is ridiculous! Make him look like $hit! Like he did when he pitched for us!
Did Melky just outgrit Punto?
Chip Carrey: “mmm… so gritty”
Atta Boy, Melky.
…shit
does chip carey sound a little too impressed with pavano ?
he sounds like he’s got a boner on watching Pavano.
At least we got the hit out of the way. Next stop: Runs!
He’s attacking the strike zone. Strike strike strike. We have to change our approach and start slapping at the ball like the Angels do.
Ugh…
yucky, jeter can’t solve pavano yet
Dominoes + Crown Royal = Everything you need in life.
/Don Draper’d
I’m pretty sure “A set of Double Ds” belongs in that equation somewhere.
Not according to that commercial. Nope, just sitting around with old dudes and drinking, it will teach you everything you need to know to be successful in corporate life.
http://www.clickthecity.com/im.....image3.jpg
and a carton of Lucky Strikes perhaps?
Didn’t KLaw make fun of “fisting” in his last chat?
He did. He started his chat off with a “fisting” reference.
Wouldn’t surprise me. You can’t spell “snark” without “K-L-A-W”.
(looks around to see if anyone noticed, starts whistling, backs out of room slowly)
Chip gets wood after every one of Pavano’s first pitch strikes.
Umm that was strike 3 ump!
Andy still got that shit
so dirty.
agree
PETTITE AND HIS HIGH CHEESE… LOVE IT!
teh cuttah!
Great job TBS. Tell us Andy’s never done it before, just don’t tell us what “it” is.
Two chicks at the same time.
Peter: What would you do if you had a million dollars?
Lawrence: I’ll tell you what I’d do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.
Peter: That’s it? If you had a million dollars, you’d do two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; ’cause chicks dig dudes with money.
Peter: Well, not all chicks.
Lawrence: Well, the type of chicks that’d double up on a dude like me do.
Like Girardi wouldn’t know about that.
No, he has been there, done that, many a time. I’m pretty sure that was the reason Mrs. Pettitte didn’t want Andy to come back to New York.
I thought they were deliberately-not-talking about the perfect game he’s got going through 9 batters. But no…it was pitching on turf in the postseason. The first I thought was dumb to bring up so early, but at least it made sense that they’d not say what it was.
Then it turns out they just suck at broadcasting.
TBS: Our companion network KNOWS drama.
I think this radar gun is juiced. I think the networks like to show more velocity so they used juiced readings. Both Pettitte and the piece of shit pitching for Minny have been clocked as high as 93, and I doubt either has thrown that hard this year.
I said that earlier today when Bard threw a 99 mph 2 seamer. I know he throws hard, but come on. And, he topped out at 101? Sure!
The pitchfx data is agreeing with these numbers. Which means that the pitchfx systems could be juiced at both parks. If it’s consistently higher across the board, for every pitcher…then, yeah, that must be what’s going on. I wonder if it’s a miscalibration, or if it’s at the request of TBS.
My buddy (a Dodgers fan) was saying how Broxton was hitting 101 consistently in his playoff appearances. That sounds a tad inflated…
I wonder id Pavano knows a good proctologist in New York. I think I need one …
Call the Assman
I love seeing XN6 and Wanger in the dugout.
where the heck did you get xn6 from?
lol i love the nickname for the X-man
Xavier
Nady
the 6th
oh yeah i forgot he was the 6th X-man
He’s Xavier Nady VI.
I woulda done it XNVI, SuperBowl-style.
A gritty out by Punto… my god what a baseball player.
You know what it is? He’s just a good baseball player.
Andy’s on cruise control.
Just like Bart, Nelson, and Milhouse on their way to the World’s Fair.
/obscurereference’d
youre on a roll my friend(that i really dont know but still consider a friend)
Naked Lunch is a great flick…
I so want one of those talking Al Gore dolls.
good job andy
now lets get this man some runs!
Just watched an awesome game – Broncos sticking to the Patrioits. Broncos own the Pats like the Angels have owned the Yankees.
dont say that
“Owned, owned”…past tense. We took three of the last four and two of three in Anaheim. I’m sticking to that story until proven otherwise!
Yanks are 5-5 in season series with LA this year. Meme no longer applies.
/tsjc’d
That, plus:
WE.
WILL.
NOT.
BE.
STOPPED.
+27
Like the Sox used to own the Angels. Past tense. It’s a different world my friends.
Damon needs to step it up.. he is sleeping through these playoffs..
This is the third game.
He’s not sleeping through the playoffs. He’s been bad for a month now. I don’t know if it’s a slump or a physical issue, but I do know that JoeG isn’t going to do anything about it, so we’d all better hope that he gets over whatever it is.
Pavano 5ks are u serious
Dude, Damon needs to get his game back
Johnny might be playing himself out of a contract offer by the Yankees. He’s been downright awful for over a month now.
Indeed.
I still say he comes back, though. One year of Johnny is still a lower-risk investment than multiple years of Bay/Holliday.
…but it may come down to one year contract offer to Damon or Matsui. I would have went with Damon because he plays the OF, but he’s been a pretty bad OFer this year. If Matsui can return to the OF next year, then they may go with him.
Of course, we’re only in game three here. If the Yankees keep advancing, Damon could end up being the hero. Baseball is funny that way.
He’s not looking good now, though, at all.
No, I’m saying that Plan A was still to give both of them one-year renewals. Johnny may be playing himself out of his one year, but the replacements for him in LF are all bad in their own ways.
Hideki’s one-year probably is fairly unrelated to Johnny’s one-year.
GUYS WAKE UP! END THIS TONIGHT!
Carl Young?
Alot of those Twins’ backs were LITERALLY against a wall.
That was effin ridiculous that call. High as ever.
awful call
Umps love the Yankees.
That “K” was absurd!
Cmon A-rod
BULL.
This ump has sucked.
that was tooo high~!.. BULL SHIT CALL!
Come on ump. Learn the strikezone.
Great some more bad home plate umpiring
the one good thing is that pavano has a high pitch count
he can’t keep this up for longer than 6
What’s he at? I was just about to go search.
54 pitches i believe
they will get to him this next inning, right?
54 is efficient. He could easily go through seven with that pace.
We will get him.
…or eight.
Only 54
54 through 4? That’s pretty damn good.
he can’t keep this up for longer than 6
Nickel for every time I’ve had that problem…
6 hours is pretty damn good….
I would have…
::swiftly does calculations::
0 Nickels.
I don’t think he’s thrown many pitches. He has faced 13 batters in 4 innings.
Only 54 pitches. He can 8 at this rate but wont.
54 pitches is a low pitch count. At this rate, 7-8 innings easy.
It shouldn’t continue at quite this rate, though.
We’ll get him. Relax some of you panics
its just bc its carl fucking pavano.
It’s not panic. It’s annoyance. We want him bent over the dugout and…
this is maddening
Patience, young padawan.
yes sir
i’m going to go get beer, maybe the yanks score while i’m gone
This is Minnie!
I just hope we win tonight because i think it is vital to have CC pitch Game 1 of the ALCS to have the option of having him pitch 3 times in the ALCS if necessary.
http://p2p4u.net/
apparently Cano is a switch hitter now…..?????
lol at mlbtr. So the Sox fans want Jose Reyes or HanRam. haha
It’s cool, they’ll use their amazing farm system to get Hanley and King Felix, and still have enough to populate and amazing bullpen entirely from within and have enviable starting pitching depth.
And the pieces to make another savvy midseason acquisition of an all-star-caliber player. And still finish 2010 with a top-five farm system.
Damn it stop reading my head and posting before me ;_;
They can easily get either of them just for Lars Anderson. That’s how goooood their farm system is.
Hell one strand of his hair is good enough to land HanRam, Reyes and even Felix if they wanted two. Maybe two strands of hair but that’s pushing it.
I hope they go after Reyes. He should be ready by 2011.
Is this the same pitcher that pitched for the Yanks????!!!! Pavano is a piece of work.
This is the pitcher that got signed by the Yanks. not the one who pitched(or didn’t) for them.
That first pitch wasn’t a strike… Amazing.
but thats not a strike
I’m sure the umps are trying to make up for the mistake of one of their own but all that would be resolved (and the instant replay argument)with better umps and maybe eye examinations.
According to ESPN.com, the wind in the dome is -1 mph.
That’s perfectably reasonable.
Very Reasonable: Because the Metrodome sucks.
Thats from all the heavy breathing Midwesterners.
LMAO
I can hear that sucking sound all the way from here. Is that because the Twins suck, or is it just the baggie they play in?
Apparently Pavano’s dominance has created a wormhole.
Pettite looking sharp out there.
your right.. i just get so frustrated when I see Pavano doing well!
He hurt our team so much with all those little injuries
reply FAIL
They ate steroids! They ate that shit for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
/newhaircut’d
POWER BARS! HGH!!
this just in Pavano hurst himself wrapping towel around arm in dugout!
Pettitte’s established an even better pace than Pavano. Nice.
George Lopez, Mo’Nique, Chelsea Handler, Jimmy Fallon, and Carson Daly all have their own late night talk shows.
Mind-bottling.
I love me some Chelsea Handler.
and still….there’s nothing on.
Look on the bright side, no Chevy Chase.
No Magic Johnson.
That was strike 3 again…
they’ve faced pavano twice, you would think they have a better idea of what to expect and how to approach him. damon has been slumping the last month in half so theres no help there and other that hr matsui hasnt done anything either.
i hate to use this as an excuse but is it just me or has the last umpire and tonights umpire sucked! shitty calls
WTH, guys. Butt bruise is not the second coming of Nolan Ryan- stop making him look like it.
After Game 2, seeing a Yankee pitcher spin 1-2-3 innings is such a pleasure!
Andy Pettite FTFW
chip sounds so dissapointed when we get someone out…..and hes going on and on about the crowd….go there in june and there are 16000 people there asshole
Andy Pettitte: WOAH!
what a freaken BOSS.
Pettitte is dealing. Very nice.I like what I see
Who the hell is this pitching for the Yankees? Looks freakin good.
Yankees are 0-5 in closing out ALDS series. That changes this inning. Yanks plate 3.
