World Series Game Five Spillover Thread V

Did someone win a Chevy Truck from the ball hitting that sign?

I wonder if they could just get cash value instead.

Remember when people thought I was nuts when I said that Marte should be the first lefty out of the pen and Coke should be the second?

Yeah… good times.

Glad we didn’t have to see Coke last night… shudder.

I just read a post about Chase Utley, and I swear I read it as “Cheese Utley” because of his hair.

What I don’t get is why he kept going with fastballs to Utley and Ibanez when we have been getting them out with breaking balls away this whole series.

This is to the Phils wishing they could save these runs for wednesday. We all would have signed for 2 out of 3 in philly in a heartbeat after splitting in the bronx. Yanks are in the driver seat still, just have to finish.

If Arod is worth $25M per season and Tex is worth $18M does that mean Utley is worth $50M ?

Back on the horse, Phil. No pressure.

Hughes for some work. get that confidence back.

Okay. Straighten your shit out, Hughesie. Attack.

Phil Hughes must really be in the doghouse.

Why not Bruney ?

OK. Let’s get them Wednesday.

This is a brutal game. I hope they use Bruney in the 9th.

I’m curious why they don’t throw inside and if Utley doesn’t move hit him. I’m tired of him just sitting right on top of the plate.

Wait a sec — the Yanks are in the playoffs?

I thought we finished fourth this season after going going 0-8 against Boston? Didn’t the Blue Jays win the AL East?

Phil Coke should go back to sweeping chimneys with Mary Poppins.

here’s a positive from this game: three good swings by cano

Well our best chance of winning tonight backfired. Now we have worse chances of winning the next 2 games…

If Hughes has some success here, that could be very, very important for the Yanks.

Well, here’s some bullpen pluses:

Marte and Rivera will 99.9% not be used in this game.
Joba will 99.9% not be used in this game.
D-Rob and Hughes will have pitched very low stress innings.
There’s a day off tomorrow.

The Yankees are winning this series.

Thats what I dont understand…why continue to pitch to Utley when Howard has been absolute crap this series? I dont get it.

Also, I am really hating Buck’s happiness right now.

One three pitches.

That’s what I like to see, Hughes baby.

The pitch to Utley is in the exact same spot every time. Does no one on the Yankees notice this?

Maybe we can get Hughes right after tonight. Something positive might come out of this mess.

Just though of this:

AJ Burnett is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get.

CC on three days regardless. AJ on any rest over GAUDIN any day of the week. Andy on 3 days at home OVER AJ due for a bad start. We score early in game 6, that is the key.

Is it Wednesday yet?

I’ve always dreamed and hoped of the Yankees having some magical insane comeback in a huge game in the playoffs of some ridiculous amount of like 6+ runs. Tonight would be a nice night for that dream to come true. Go Yankees!

I will take Andy against Mr. 86 mph fastball Wednesday. Did anyone really think that the Yanks would win 3 road games? I didn’t. I thought this was going 6 games all along.

was just thinking the same as headline

I mean you can’t pitch to Chase again until Howard does ANYTHING

Winning at home in the new stadium versus Pedro Martinez sounds good to me, very storybook.

Most people predicted yankees in 6. Most people will be right.

Fully rested pen, cano starting to hit, jeter and damon still hitting, Pettite in a pressure game. Color me unconcerned; and how sweet will it be clinching at YS.

I really like how Girardi used the bullpen here and I think it is modestly encouraging (except for Coke). Prob not our night, but getting set up for game 6 and game 7 if we need it is important.

Somebody needs to steal his hair gel. Or kidnap him and shave his head. Maybe that’ll cook him off.

RALLY TIME

6 run rally, here we come!

Only if Tex get a hit

Here we go

Good start.

Yeah Johnny! Comeback has started! Go Yankees!

That was a base hit? are you kidding me?

Can Tex look better than Molina for at least one AB?

C’mon Teix. Give me a good AB.

show me a sign Tex.

I’d accept a loss for a little Paul O’Neil effect…

Come on Tex!

RALLY

Yup, here we go

YES!

Here we go. Too bad Coke shat the bed.

I think it’s high time for that tasty Phillies bullpen.

6 runs is nothin.

All Yankee contracts should come with incentives. Like if you don’t hit the fucking ball, you don’t get paid.

Hit one out A-Rod! Rally time!! Lets Go Yankees!

Finally … RESULTS.

A little too late.

Alright Alex. Pad time. No pressure.

Here come the OPS.

Wherein the Yankees put the fear of god into the crowd, and salvage some momentum for Wednesday.

Let’s go, Alex. Drive a few more in here.

If not for Coke, this inning would have a lot for us to cheer for. (I know all about the predetermined outcome fallacy. Jeez, guys.)

Ok, color me stupid, Pauley O effect?

What was the thing that Paul O’Neill would say during blowouts like this? I feel like I know what it is and it makes sense but i just can’t grasp it right now for the life of me.

I think Brad Lidge deserves a second chance

Game ain’t over.

When will the jumpers ever learn.

You want to say “things don’t look good”?

That’s fine.

But don’t EVER say a game is over until it’s actually over when it’s the 2009 New york Fucking Yankees.

Arod plz look inside fastball. Just for me buddy/

Even with a home run we’re down by 3 lol

RUT ROH

that at bat by Tex might wake The Beast

A-ROD!!!!!!!!!!!

HOLY SHIT !!

2 runs score!

BOOM.

Ugh…I have faith, but I can’t stop shaking my head at the extra runs the pen keep giving up. Four run games are quite different from six run games.

Go Yanks. Get ‘em back.

A-God does it again

There’s the Raul Ibanez defense we all know and love.

Lee should be done now. Bring on the bullpen

I’ll take it. Let’s fucking go. This. Game. Is. Winnable.

LETS GO!

There’s our centaur.

Thank God for Phil Coke.

well now thanks Coke seriously thanks alot

Imagine if Phil Coke never came in right now?

Damn you to hell, Phil Coke.

Lets go Swisher! Hit a 2 run jack! Lets Go Yankees! Rally time!

Four runs against their ace in 7 innings.

Yah, I still love this damn team.

DAMMIT if Coke hadn’t fucked up this game is COMPLETELY different. SHIT!

One inning too late!

But we got this!

Fuckin Phil Coke!

Ugh those chase utley homers are big now

really standing ovaton worthy maybe they should be cheering Phil Coke and his awesomeness against lefties

Those 2 HR’s that Coke served up are now looming big.

fucking Phil Coke that bastard.

Clutch-Rod for the win. Phil Coke for tarring and feathering.

FUK THE PHILLIES BULLPEN, WE WILL GNAW ON THEIR BONES

Let’s go. Fucking KILLLLLLL IT!

do work lineup. DO WORK.

Matsui available too!

It would be amazing if the Yankees came back… to bad for Coke

It’s never too late for a BIG rally.

Hopefully last night we set a trend to bail out our relievers when they inevitably try to blow the games…

Here’s to hope!!!

i have an idea:

let’s win the world series tonight

Can Coke be DFA’ mid inning?

lets keep rollin, everyone after arod in the order, TIME TO STEP UP

Swish is too patient, please don’t be a rally killer.

And Mariano Rivera retakes the all-time postseason ERA lead.
(30+ innings required)

A-Rod has your back, Mo.

I bought a big stoggie, and a 4 pack of of Dogfish Head’s “Midas Touch” and Goddammit I plan to use them tonight

I hope we spoiled Lee for the rest of the series. And yes, I mean for the next 45 minutes.

Can you imagine being a phils fan right now? 4 run lead, runner on 2nd, with the knowledge that if he scores you probably see lidge in the 9th. Comforting?

POSITIVE from this game: AROD’s swing looks intact. Lee hasn’t thrown off Arod’s mechanics or approach. Pivotal.

I hope this is not a tease

shit here comes the spit ball.

/halos heaven’d

Damn, those 2 runs Coke coughed up turned out to be huge.

wow picked a great time to get home!

why would they want swish hitting lefty?

For some reason, thought it was 8-5.

How was that fucking strike 1? you’re fucking kidding…

That first pitch was the pitch our pitchers (especially AJ) didn’t get the whole night. But now it’s a strike.

that’s been a ball all night against the yankees

Come on, Swish!

What would’ve happened if Gaudin pitched today?

What’s with the strike zone, ump?!?!? I thought he was squeezing the sides!!! What a piece of shit…I’d like to break into his house and smash all of his dishes on the kitchen floor so his wife has to clean it up….

BUNT!

Just keep the wheel turning Swish…

cokee’s bad spots loom largo

Put one in the Chan Ho Parking lot, Swish.

DUDE you saw that last night as well. He spit right onto the ball!

Cano, do something.

Cano, we need you.

I hate saying this…

We need the guys to go deep right now . This. Inning.

If ever you need to get a big hit, it’s now, Robbie.

C’mon Cano get a 2 run home run!

Cano is miserable. He MUST be due…

Just like we’re due for an Utley throwing error…

Hey, stop slowing down the game! Booooo!

Cano. Redeem yourself now. A 2-run jack would be a cure-all !

I wish there was a rock and jock circle that could let A-Rod go double or nothing with his at-bats.

AGHH!H!H!!!

WTF ARE YOU SWINGING AT????

c’mon Robbie what are you swinging at?

Your knee is not the strike zone, Cano.

Why did you swing at that?

Please Robbie. We don’t ask for much. Just get a hit here.

Let’s go, Robbie. Put one in the gap. Another run makes this game very winnable.

Cano…what the fuck? It seems as if he takes the first pitches he should be swinging at and swings at the first pitches he should be taking. Come on Robbie let’s go!!!

Robbie not seeing the ball

Cano loves to swing at horseshit that is EXTREMELY down and in, I think Yankees should take note of that and shock him every time he wants to swing at shit like that.

It’s all good. I’ll take that.

It’s now within Lidge range.

omggggg itd be 6-5!!!

I TOLD YOU ALL.

HE’s COMPLETE GARBAGE!! TRADE CANO!!!! FUCKNG FOOLS

What the hell just happened? How in the fuck was that a sac fly?!

We’ll take that, Robbie.

Anyone else see 3 runs score in the 9th during some other game?

So does this mean we get Lidge in the 9th? Let it be so.

damn cano…..we’re only down by 3

Go Gardner! Inside the park home run please!

Somebody explain to me how Cano has not hit ONE homerun this entire postseason?

He hasn’t done shit. This guy isn’t 1/10 as good as Utley.

good running by Arod.
can i just say fuck you Phil Coke again?

ARod made that a sac fly..bad AB by Cano.

I’ll take that run.

Let’s go Gritner

I can’t believe A-Rod scored there. He’s a man!

Chippin’

Only 3 runs, now. Do something fancy, Brett.

Inside the parker coming up right here.

Ok, so assuming that Gardner makes an out it will Posada, Matsui and Jeter for the 9th.

Holy shit, Brett. What are you waiting for?

Did Joe Buck just say Joe Torre?

Gardner should try swinging at those pitches that hit the middle of the strikezone.

We need you on base Gardy!!!

If this sonofabitch strikes out looking, I swear to god

McCarver, I’m always looking for Lidge.

I’m thinking we see Madson, not Lidge, in the 9th.

r we better w gardy getting out to have jorge, matsui, jeter damon fresh inning in the 9th?

so is it a definite that Melky is done for the WS?

can we bring up ajax for game 6?

Really wish it was the 7th inning.

holy them hughes and we got a shot.
