They eat pieces of shit for breakfast?
/Happy Gilmore’d
or Kanye’d
I see I’ve returned from the class room at a poor time..
No, you came back just in time to see the Yanks stage another comeback win
If this is Game 5 ALCS A.J. then this game is far from over. Stabilize and attack, boys!
I’m going to go out on a limb and say the Yankees are done scoring tonight. Confidence is high.
aren’t
i was going to say either you are a phils fan or there was a contradiction there.
Ok. They got 3. AJ will settle down.
We got this.
Gardy hit, steal, Molina bunt, AJ grounder and 3-2.
Do we stop pitching to Utley now?
For real, in how many postseason eventual wins this season have we trailed at some point? Like, half of them?
Enough for me to be totally confident in the inevitable Yankee comeback
THIS GUY KNOWS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT
THIS GUY DEFINITELY KNOWS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT
/raaaaaaaandy
Though I wouldn’t mind seeing Posada get in soon, but that’s a conversation that’s getting tired
All the Minny games.
Games 5 & 6 of the CS.
Game 2 & 3 of this series.
Thank you kindly, sir. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
Okay now, let’s hope Lee remains off his game and AJ finds his balance. Only in the second inning. We ARE winning this game.
AJ is ready to put up 5 0′s, just like in Anaheim.
Cliff Lee looks primed to drop his ‘every 8 awesome starts I lay a major stinker’ start. Only one inning in, I know, but in Game 1 he made the hitters look like idiots, all night. IT doens’t look like that tonight.
We got this. AJ will settle down now like ALCS Game 5. Hopefully this one has a different ending than that one.
Indeed. We are winning tis game.
run on victorino and every chance.
*at.
This series is making me hate the entire city of Philadelphia. Put down the stupid towels! Between them and thundersticks I’m going crazy!
remember this is AJ Burnett. He’ll look like crap in one inning and then he’s sandy koufax for the next seven. I actually like our chances more than when the game started because Lee looks very hittable tonight.
alright, let’s go grab them fucking bayonets and win this shit TSJC style
Fuck the house WE’RE SENDING THE WHOLE FUCKIN BLOCK
yezzur!
YOU’RE GONNA CHEER FOR OUR BOYS UNTIL YOUR THROAT IS LEATHER. AND WE’RE GONNA WIN, AND THEN YOU’RE GONNA GO HOME, GRAB YOUR WIFE’S HAIR, AND FUCK HER UNTIL HER KNEES SHAKE! RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR KIDS!
I feel like I wasn’t invited to the caps lock party.

Oh, I’m familiar with the joke.
WELL THEN GET ON BOARD YOU PUSSYMANGLER
I’m busy fapping to pics of skanks in their Halloween slut suits on Facebook.
I’ll be right there.

Too old.
Hey Mike (or anyone else) – how fast does pitch/fx load up during the game? If i want to try and follow the strike zone during the game does it make sense to go that route (through Brooks Baseball) or to just follow on gameday?
Brooks uploaded very quickly. Might be an at-bat behind, but that’s it.
Go to Gameday, its the same thing and is like 5-7 seconds late.
WTF man. He touched those exact spots on his cap?!
That pitch to Gardner was in exactly the same spot as the one to Howard.
I wish our #3 was as half as productive as their’s, Tex and Cano are just killing us–absolutely nothing…it is going to be hard to win with 6 auto outs in the line-up.
and they wish their 4 was as productive as ours, so it goes both ways.
They dont have six auto outs though….
They have other concerns. Like, for example, why Ryan Howard sucks balls or what they’re going to do even if they manage to win this game and have to throw Pedro and Hamels in two more elimination games.
I get it. Hamels is hitting well, and Tex isn’t. I still don’t give a shit. Our problems are smaller than their problems.
Hamels is hitting well?
Sorry, Utley. Confused my lanky Philadelphia white guys with bad hair.
As awful as Howard has been he has as many hits as Tex and Cano combined…
As awesome as Utley has been the Phillies have still lost three of the four games playes thus far.
I can do this shit all day with you, bro.
We’re still gonna fuckin’ kill em.
+1
Apparently Yankee players do not have names and actually just go by how much their contract is. $180 million with a nice play at first or or last night with $161 million man pitching great. Every two minutes all postseason long Joe fucking Buck has to tell us about who the Yankees “bought” or invested in.
I guess the Twins, Angels, and Phillies players play for free.
McCarver just said that American League hitters are not familiar with Cliff Lee.
Wow.
Maybe he should just sit the next few innings out.
gardy almost won a race on a grounder to first.
I actually wouldn’t mind seeing Gardy try to leg out a bunt.
Hit one out, Molina!
I feel confident that we will get 3 runs with Gardner, Molina, and Burnett up to bat.
In this postseason, we’ve seen the Yankees offense respond when the other team scores. It may be immediate (the ninth last night) or delayed, but the Yankees offense has seldom went down without a fight. If AJ can hold down the Phils, this team can and will come back.
If they’re coming to back, it’s going to have to be the one through six spots producing tonight. That Melky injury really hurt this team in the lineup and defensively (with his arm strength).
At least Lee doesn’t look terribly sharp tonight.
noMaas just tweeted: If Posada was catching, Utley’s HR would have counted twice.
Hahahahahahahaha
actually 3 times since he did call 3 hr’s utley already hit.
Lee doesn’t look very sharp, this should be easy
Lets hope they shut those battery throwing mother fuckers of fans up.
Good AB by Jose. Make him throw as many pitches as possible
Tim McCarver, wrong in so many ways. Cliff Lee WON THE CY YOUNG LAST YEAR
At this point for the one third of the lineup that are black holes, a bat with at least 3 pitches is a success.
You mean Tex, Cano, and Swisher ? or Gardner, Molina, and Burnett ? LOL
Love Molina for making Lee throw that many pitches.
that was a gritty AB by molina
too bad he couldnt get on base
He burned through quite a few pitches.
We shouldn’t get too greedy here. Count our blessings.
Good swing, just a little late.
Nice but, AJ.
hey for 3 sure outs i will take 14 pitches.
That bottom third needs to improve a lot to be bad.
OH MY GOD CLIFF LEE STRUCK OUT THE PITCHER.
Let’s all retire to our bunks, shall we?
I’m way ahead of you. I’ve been fapping for a about 45 minutes.
Just…just take it easy on that thing. We’ve got seven more innings to get through.
Ooh impressive. Gritner, Molian and AJ are tough hitters to get excited about when they get out Joe Buck.
Top of the order second time through. They got this.
14 pitches that inning, more than what I was expecting.
Cliff Lee has become a TOALLY DIFFERENT PITCHER since being traded about three months ago.
Um, what?
You know what that was? McCarver forgot momentarily that Lee pitched for the Indians, so when he made the comment about the Yanks not being used to him, he needed to come up with something fast. And, being Tim McCarver, he came up with something even more asinine.
I’m actually even more impressed now. I would have preferred if he had randomly screamed something like, “Hey look, it’s Bigfoot with Cliff Lee!” as a bit of misdirection, but I’m impressed all the same.
AL Hitters have no idea who he is.
I hate when analysts say that. The only thing that changed about his game was the fact that he went to the NL, where we all know the lineups are weaker.
yea, he was talking out of his ass and then he realized that the guy had spent his whole career in the AL.
Blah, the bottom third of tonight’s lineup is a black hole. Goddamn, if Matsui could even be trusted to play any defense at all…
Lee is not the same pitcher he was in Game 1. I’m not saying the Yankees will drop 7 runs on him, but he’s not going more than 6 innings. If Burnett settles down and gives them innings, the Yankees should win this game.
Is Buck planning on a keeping a verbal tally of Lee’s strikeouts? He struck-out the pitcher. Look out world!
And I agree with y’all: This ain’t the same Lee tonight.
I remember last night we had it sewn up in the 1st. what’s with tonight?
is it just me or is the Bank a “bigger disgrace” than TDTISNYS?

Good lord, it’s a pentagon.
Coming up next on FOX: E-Ring, starring Benjamin Bratt, Aunjanue Ellis, and Dennis Hopper.
Nuva Ring, starring the cast of The View.
I feel sick typing that.
Oh definitely. Similar HRs and more runs.
Cheering when your pitcher strikes out an AL pitcher is like cheering when your power forward rejects a special olympian.
That’s a bit harsh.
Shut em down A.J.
More words of encouragement from Rex Ryan:
We’re gonna fucking annihilate those fuckers. Then we’re gonna stomp on their heads. Then we’re gonna eat turkey drumsticks, drink Beam right from the bottle, sing Def Leppard karaoke, and bang 17-year-olds in the mouth. You ready? You gonna do some fucking?
What? that’s horrible. And illegal.
It’s humor. Roll with it.
I’m here. I got my lucky shirt on now. Sorry guys, my bad.
Just settle, A.J.
How is this “real” baseball as NL lovers like to call it. One of the best pitchers in baseball just faced a lifetime .132 hitter who has 5 at bats all season. What a “pure” way to showcase some of the best athletes in the world.
Imagine if they forced Eli Manning to play LB or they forced Nate Robinson to guard Tim Duncan?
IMO the pitcher batting makes the NL an absolute joke.
I never get the no-DH rule. It does nothing for the game. NOTHING.
TEH DOUBLESWITCH STRATEGYYYYY
I don’t know about you, but I go to baseball games to see managers manage. There is nothing more exciting than a good double switch.
How do you guys feel about forcing each umpire to answer questions after the game with a tv in the room. The reporters will ask: Why was this a ball? Why was this guy out? At the very least, the umps will be held accountable.
AJ will hold this score for a while and give offense a chance
lets go AJ, bounce back inning time!
Cmon Molina, settle out there man!
wth ump?
What the fuck is with this strike zone?
Capone: When you got an all-out prizefight, you wait until the fight is over, one guy is left standing. ‘N’ that’s how you know who won.
This just starting.
This umpire calls strikes Cobra style. Watch him.
Battle all the way back, A.J. Let’s go.
Just like that.
Great way to rally back for AJ.
Nice rebound AJ. K that fool.
Let’s see if Joe Buck gets as excited when AJ strikes out Lee
Nice recovery
I’m so glad molina is catching, cuz you know it had such a profound effect
So NOW that’s a strike?
High strike? It was at his belt!
Honestly.
No, I wasn’t wondering about his uniform Tim. STFU
Damn, the Philies even dive when moving up on HBPs. They are a bunch of ballplayers.
He was running and sliding head first?!!! OMFG HE’s the FIRST FUCKIN PLAYER TO DO THAT? OMFG, his uniform is dirty, he will he go on!!!!
WHERE DID THAT 2-1 PITCH MISS?!
Where is the strikezone tonight? Jesus .
Victorino would be a BIG loss for the Phillies. I’m sure Melky appreciates you completely bitch-slapping him there, Joe.
Reply fail.
Great another shitty strike zone tonight!
jimmy the mouth rollins is the beneficiary of a tight strike zone.
I used to like him, now I see he’s a shit talking prancing little bitch.
Was there this much concern for ARod after he was hit THREE times?
+1
Go back in to Victorino, he’s got to by gunshy.
good call mike
how close was that curveball? It looks like a small zone.
Zone is really erratic, same high pitch that got a ball was a strike…That’s the umpires for yah.
I’m following on Gameday and brooks baseball as the game goes on. . i know that its not an exact science but since Fox isn’t even showing their crap tonight (probably because they were blasting them so much last night who knows)
Anyway, the Rollins AB was a sad fucking case of umpiring I’m sorry. The curveball you speak of and another fastball and the final pitch that was a ball were actually all borderline. The 2nd questionable pitch (fastball) was there.
Oh well.
Holy shit what is wrong with this k zone??
OMG! Victorino is such a soldier, for taking a hit to the index finger and stay in the game! OMG! What? He also broke a nail?! OMG! Blah blah blah blah…
according to gameday, AJ threw 4 fucking strikes to Rollins
This strike zone is a joke thus far.
Good rebound inning. Top of the order; do your shit.
Victorino is hurting. He’ll probably need to come out.
Yeah, it looks like it stings really bad when he made contact. I think I saw the discoloration on his finger through his batting glove when he was on-deck.
The 10th rule of GRIT is to play injured, no matter how detrimental to your team.
See also: Curt Schilling
Can’t you just grow a thicker beard to cover that up?
Do it again, top of the order.
the strike zone is so small, i can’t even find it
VictorinOWNED.
well victorino is done hitting for the series.
should we take up a collection for Victorino ?
No, he’s too gritty to take donations.
Good rebound AJ! Has thrown only one more pitch than Lee. (but 2 more runs)
Let’s get some BABIP correction this time guys!
Genius of AJ to make sure Utley comes up with nobody on.
Victorino will be useless the rest of the game.
Looks like Victorino really hurt his hand… how long until he comes out of the game?
If he is that useless, I rather have him in the game.
true
Does Dick Bowetta live in Philly?
Who is Dick Bowetta?
Dick Bavetta?
Ah, that makes sense. Wiki says he resides in Ocala, Florida.
(Maybe Stadium Garlic Fries was listening to a Ensign Chekov broadcasting an NBA game, and that’s why he thought his name was “Bowetta”.)
Dick Butkus?
You know, I really thought Victorino was doing a little acting in the 1st inning. Whoops.
A real man strikes out on a broken hand.
/Pena’d
And throws his helmet.
/Penaouk’d
I Ben Fransisco is warm
The umps suck tonight, Philly fans suck tonight, Joe and Tim suck tonight, etc…
Aren’t all of these things an every night given?
Haha…yeah…the same every night.
try to take over the world
All of this is not exclusive to tonight.
As a Yankees fan, you slowly develop a resistance to it.
The crowd at Yankee Stadium were so loud that Buck and McCarver were basically inaudible.
I’m getting my vaccine so more old people die.
The Rollins “walk.”

I can respect anorexia (they eat a grape and a piece of lettuce if they’re really hungry) but bulimia? Bitch, don’t waste that Porterhouse on the toilet. Fucking wasting my money.
Anorexics care.
Suck it up Vicky…
baby jeter and teix makes me smile everytime.
A victorino suckfest, awesome.
OMG! Victorino! How will he go on?!! We need to start a charity for him. And OMG, they have dirty uniforms, never seen those before.
Dude, if you can’t fucking throw the ball then leave the game.
would Werth move to center and fransico goes to right?
No, you’d put Francisco in CF, I’d imagine.
Werth in CF, Francisco is RF.
Fair enough. I hadn’t realized how solid of a CF Werth has played until I looked it up.
Yeah, slide Jayson over.
Is it just me or is Jeter taking a lot of pitches down the middle?
Oh so the Yankees losing Melky is no big deal, but the Phillies losing Beefarino is a horror. Buck is such an a**hole.
The Yankees are a disgrace. Hitting A-Rod is smart and tactical but hitting Victorino is clearly intentional, and AJ should be stoned for his incompetence!
/Fox’d
The Yanks will score against Lee again tonight
Maybe he’ll call us Daddy just like Pedro
Haha those Philly fans are so derisive with their half hearted boos and whatnot.
Let’s go, Johnny. Start it up again.
oh..i got it, players need to be x-ray’d when he is hurt
I was trying to listen to NY 880am on the radio but the broadcast is a few seconds behind from what is on Fox…oh well.
Worth it IMO
Did it during the ALCS. Got it synced perfectly with DVR. But, after commercial, TV and Radio came back “live” at different times. Kept having to resync, so I just gave up.
Good AB so far JD.
Work the BB.
Way to go, Johnny. Let’s come through here, Tex.
C’mon Tex. Make Lee pay!
Nice Damon…let’s go Tex.
Let’s go Teix!
Alright we got Johnny on again. Do something this time, Mark! Remember what Jedi Master Kevin Long told you before the game.
Maybe Lee would’ve been better off on 3 days rest, heh.
Lee doesn’t look sharp at all.
just keep plugging lee is not nearly as good tonight 44 pitches thru damon.
Damn, straighten that out, Tex!
Lee’s at 45 pitches now
johnny is turning into an onbase machine
healthy cut !
C’mon Teix. Keep it fair and far !
i’m surprised McCarver has made predicted that Lee looks off tonight.
mwahaaha 9? what a joke.
/evil empire’d
i saw the answer but i missed the question… what was it?
which al team has 2nd most championships
The A’s won three in Philadelphia (under Connie Mack) and then three in a row in Oakland in the 70′s, plus the LaRussa ’89 series.
Sorry:
FIVE in Philadelphia.
imo lees fastball is just not that sharp tonight… looks really flat/straight even for a 4 seamer, wonder why the batters are taking, if he keeps missing his spots i would think it would make it more enticing to take a good rip at one
C’mon Tex, battle here and get a hit.
nice slide from Johnny
Goddammit Mark, you are worthless with your bat this postseason…
Good slide by Johnny, but Tex still doesn’t look good at the plate.
Let’s go, A-Rod.
yea , but he can field
never touched the bag.
I actually think he might have.
Shortstops and second baseman will consistently get the “neighborhood” call. I know we saw it not called in the ALCS, but that’s a rarity.
I meant called. Sorry about that.
Alright A-Rod, let’s get another RBI or two here.
Neighborhood play?
Holy fuck these umpires are full of fail.
ugh, teix you’ve had better swings.
Fuck the Neighborhood play. Fuck it long and fuck it hard. Sorry.
Wait. Compliments for Johnny Damon and then REPLAYS of a potential Phillies gaff? What is FOX doing?
Man, Tex picked a really shitty time to be awful at the plate.
damnit Arod just missed that
Fuck, just got under it.
Can’t let Lee off the hook when he’s not sharp.
Well hit by A-Rod I guess. We are getting hard outs for the most part.
Man….A-Rod just missed that one.
Oh Joe Buck. We know the glove is on his left hand you Jewbag.
Jewbag? Way to be a dick.
poor form.
the voice of reason my ass. douchebag wasnt enough have to go all anti semite
Yeah really, don’t say that again.
I’m confused, too: Joe Buck isn’t even Jewish.
OAKTAG yourself.
I dont think he is Jewish, but either way… Really?
I bet you’re an excellent singer.
God bless John Michael Higgins.
Seconded.
He can be described in one word: Professional.
Wow…Vicky can catch according to Joe…that’s a great observation.
oh well a-rod, maybe next time
Close only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and outs at second
/McCarver’d
IETCVVM
Arod can’t do it all tonight. Teix needs to start hitting better now.
50 pitches in 3 innings…we will get to him and then we will pound the pen.
that’s The Pen* to you, mr bk.
*registered trademark
Lets put one in Utely’s earhole.
only after we take a huge lead
50 pitches, one strikeout (the pitcher), decent number of just misseds at the plate. I’d feel great about this, but for the black hole at the back of the lineup.
Love the moniker, btw.
Two walks as well, which is a promising sign.
Patience people. 5th and 6th inning is when we attack, like alaways.
50 pitches thru 3 for Lee..at least he is being worked here.
At least Lee won’t pitch the complete game.
I was nervous as hell before the game. But now I am strangely calm. This two run deficit is not upsetting me. I feel very good about this game.
Yeah a 2 game cushion will do that to ya.
There’s just a lot of reasons to be positive. A potential win in a house money game = less frustrations and worry.
I was very worried about another lights out performance by Lee. But, I think he’ll be gone by the middle of the 7th. The Yankees will score at least 5 runs tonight. Hopefully, that will be enough.
It sure would be swell if Utley didn’t homer here.
AJ knows
agreeeeed
this is a huge inning for burnett. he gets through this and he’ll be scoreless into the 6th.
Please do not throw any strikes to Chase Utley
Wasn’t that 2-0 pitch called a ball on the 1-0 pitch? I really don’t get this strike zone.
looks like there are 2 strike zones for the 2 pitchers. Lee’s extend all the way to the right batter box, of course
i am ok with utley walking there
Do you think the team would actually pitch around Utley to get to Howard? I know he hasn’t been on all series, but he’s still a home run threat every time he’s at the plate.
I’m OK with not giving him any pitches to hit.
perfectly fine walk
I’m not at all mad at that leadoff walk.
Really, Victorino AGAIN?
Second straight day w/ a handicapped match. yanks vs Phillies and home plate ump.
no , please keep talking Victorino all night , Joey
Anybody who gets a hit to CF shou.ld immediately try and take 2b on Queefarino.
Bad feeling with Howard here.
i could really care less about victorino, get over it already
Don’t make any mention of A-Rod having been hit three times or how Melky, our CF is injured and not in the game…
Victorino either need to suck it up or get out of the game
He wants to be the next bloody sock.
no Buck tears for Melky, I guess
Grounder, please.
Come on, Jeter. You’ve gotta catch that.
Posada would’ve had him.
Molina did have em, jeets couldnt dig it.
JEET you had him…
nice grab Jeter fuck
Ugh. Get Posada in there.
damn.
AHH come on jeets.
GAH he would have been so out
Pitch around him to get to Werth?
That was a strike, and a better throw gets him there.
damn…he should have been out by mile
Blah, not setting up to be a good inning.
no curve tonight for AJ. He doesn’t look good mechanically.
More importantly, how was that not a strike on the stolen Base it was right down the middle.
Don’t blame Jeter, it was a bad throw.
Ehhh, a shorthop right there, he should have had that.
He should have, but let’s not pretend like it was a very good throw.
The throw was better than the tag attempt.
And now a word from Joe Buck & Shane Victorino
Buck “Thousands of Americans suffer debilitating hand injuries a year. Computer Programmers, Seamstresses, and even All-Star ball players.”
Shane “Thats right Joe. I never thought it could happen to me. Then my life was changed forever in Game 5 of the 2009 World Series.”
Buck “A man who once, and still, patrols the outfield for a World Series team may never be able to open a can of soup again. I know we’ve asked you in the past to donate and lend your support to Michael J. Fox’s Parkinson’s research, but I implore, no I BEG you to please donate to this much more worthy cause.”
Shane “Please send your checks care of “Joe Buck’s Shane Victorino’s poor swollen hand fund”
Buck “Each donation will receive a DVD of my visual evidence autographed personally by Shane & myself.”
hahahaha
well-executed
Okay, 3-1? Do not put this any where near the strike zone.
that was most definitely jeter’s fault…
and joe, tim, can we please stop riding utley’s magic stick until the phillies actually win a game.. if it was a-rod, we’d be hearing about stat padding and solo hr’s that dont count bc theyre not in the 7 inn/later
Christ. I guess we didn’t get good AJ tonight.
Shane Victorino, the cryin’ Hawaiian.
Heh.
I’m a little less okay with that walk, but it was probably better not to let Howard have a rip.
Roll one here, A.J.
If AJ is looking like garbage on 3 days rest one can only imagine how bad Pettitte will looking considering he’s old and he hasn’t done well on 3 days rest his whole career.
The decision to start AJ tonight might have guaranteed the Phillies of a game 7. Great decision Joe.
If AJ is looking like garbage on 3 days rest one can only imagine how bad Pettitte will looking
This is just such a big logic fail it’s not even funny.
Stop responding to Brazilian Yankee.
And if Burnett pitched well, you would praise Joe for putting out the best pitcher available…
I’m not paid to make decisions. He is
No, he wouldn’t. That’s why it’s fruitless to engage him in conversation. He’s proven incapable of reasonable dialogue.
Andy is older and hasn’t done well on 3 days rest his whole career. How can you expect him do to well?
please, i promise, if you disconnect your keyboard and/or your internet, the yankees will win and no more innocent kittens will have to die for your commenting sins
dude. STFU. i dont want to hear you when we come back and win this game. My gosh.
cmon aj
You got this, AJ.
why is the stadium playing “Sex on Fire” lol
I wish I could be happy about a K-Rob sighting
You can be, because there was no Gaudin sighting.
His control just isn’t there tonight.
velocity’s still there though. Hopefully he gets out of this unscathed
Crap. Spoke too soon
I didn’t mention the velocity.
why K-Rob, hoping to turn the lineup over and then bring in Ace or Gaudin for length?
Strikeout pitcher to get out of the jam, I assume.
That didn’t go well
that’s not where that was supposed to go
HAHAHAHA a Yankees Suck chant, how cute philly.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuck.
Good cutoff, kept the force in order.
Way too good pitch to hit.
Another brilliant move by Girardi
I hope this is sarcasm, I thought the whole RAB community accepted this as the right decision.
Hopefully Molina will only be in there until his next AB.
We got bad AJ tonight.
Andy, up to you to put this away at home on Wednesday.
…and I know everyone’s going to get riled about ledge-jumping and whatnot, but we have no one in the bottom of the lineup who can hit.
If that wasn’t cutoff, they could have had Utley at home…Wtf.
Not even close.
Well offense is gonna have its work cut out for it this game.
Thanks for showing up today AJ.
Time to yank him.
AJ comes out now! NOW!
Yes.
Thanks a lot AJ.
This one’s over. Get em Wednesday…I hope.
hahahaha. tsjc take care this foo, will ya?
Oh.
oh nooo and stuff
Game over. Phillies win. THeeeeeeeee Phillies win!
OK. That blows.
Might as well pull A-Rod, Jeter and other important players. This one is over.
Actually with the lineup out there, Jeter and Alex are the only ones worth giving some rest to. Leave Tex in there to see if he can remember how to hit.
Damn let’s go Yanks!
Yikes. Horrible outing from AJ. Not how you want him to end the season. Still, there’s a lot of baseball left to play.
Wow. We wasted AJ’s start. I’m assuming he would be available in game 7, but it won’t go that far.
I know a four run lead isn’t much against the Yankees (though it could grow) but it’s really fucking annoying that anything after Rodriguez is an auto out.
Did they just take a motherfcuking TV timeout?!?!
Girardi is a moron
well that settles the aj on 3 days rest debate.
this sucks
I still support the decision to start AJ on short rest. It was the correct decision.
Well, I’ll go ahead and say they should have saved AJ for a home game. AJ on the road on 3 days rest = BAD AJ.
Okay.
AJ had nothing tonight.
Get Aceves or Gaudin in there.
So was this because of short rest, or did we just get Bad AJ.
AJ Burnett is an enigma, wrapped in a mystery, wrapped in a hanging slider.
This upsets me
Can’t let AJ feed the fire with more fuel, can’t let them feel good about themselves and let them get into a groove.
Well on the bright side jorge will be up molina’s next at back. It is still only the 3rd come one we can do this!
