World Series Game Five: Yankees @ Phillies
By
27.
It’s the number of outs that stand in the way of the Yankees and a World Championship, which coincidentally would be the 27th in their history. It’s the number manager Joe Girardi wears on his back, and it’s the number of miles that separate the hometowns of tonight’s starters, A.J. Burnett and Cliff Lee.
Burnett, who grew up in North Little Rock, Arkansas, will take the mound on three day’s rest for the first time as a Yank, and as history shows, he’s been pretty good in those spots in the past. Lee, originally from Benton, Arkansas, is fully rested after his Game One complete game. The two also share an agent (Darek Braunecker), and have been good friends for years.
The Yanks have been up 3-1 in the World Series eight times before, and they’ve wrapped up the title all eight times. They’ve never even had to go seven games to do it. It’s so close we can taste it, but as a great Yankee once said, “It’s ain’t over ’til it’s over.” Here’s the lineups.
Yankees
Derek Jeter, SS
Johnny Damon, LF
Mark Teixeira, 1B
Alex Rodriguez, 3B
Nick Swisher, RF
Robinson Cano, 2B
Brett Gardner, CF
Jose Molina, C
AJ Burnett, SP (13-9, 4.04)
Philadelphia
Jimmy Rollins, SS
Shane Victorino, CF
Chase Utley, 2B
Ryan Howard, 1B
Jayson Werth, RF
Raul Ibanez, LF
Pedro Feliz, 3B
Carlos Ruiz, C
Cliff Lee, SP (14-13, 3.22)
In case you haven’t seen it already, this was in today’s Philadelphia Inquirer.

ONE MORE!
Get it done, boys!
Git ‘er dun!
Bring it home!
Finish them A.J.
http://static.open.salon.com/f.....090234.png
Looks like Joba scrapped the sweaty hat. Just showed him during batting practice wearing the World Series cap. Be interesting to see what he wears during the game.
We’ll see him in the bullpen. Not in the game.
A.J. – 8 innings of 1 run ball. Mo in to close it out.
AJ has the ability to out-pitch Lee. I’d love to see him do it.
This ends tonight.
Steaks and blowjobs are waiting
and Champagne showers for all!!
Victory to be promptly followed by pussytubing.
we need to start a petition to get Girardi to change his jersey to 28…..slash how ballys would it be if he just skipped to like some number in teh mid thirties!!!1!
I do think a 34 would be a good number.
Allan James Burnett says hi
AJ gets 27. See how it’s done?
How cute. Little kids with home made signs that says “Yankees Suck”.
Great parenting.
My cousin tried to teach his son that with the Red Sox and the kid’s mom freaked (as she should). In some homes, both parents are bad parenting assholes.
Can’t wait till we get shots of these kids crying!! My girlfriend told me it is mean to laugh at these kids, but heck with them.
What are you, my therapist? Take a walk! (takes french fries off tray and throws them)
Anyone else here have “New York, Ne York” and New York State of Mind” playing on a loop in their heads? Because I do.
Empire State of Mind…boom, boom, boom
New York, ya out there!
I somehow imagine AJ being more stoked for this than Lee. I’m sure Lee is determined, but I’m sure AJ is stoked. He just seems like a stoke-y kind of guy and this is his biggest moment to date in baseball.
People are wrong to be saying this weak lineup is a result of A.J. pitching on short rest. In actuality, it has nothing to do with A.J. It’s a fixable managerial decision; all they have to do is START POSADA!!!!
I hope Molina hits a bomb tonight.
So do I.
not gonna happen
No. But it’s a mistake.
Maybe, but we are 3-1 in A.J.’s starts so it has worked out.
I’m all for starting Jorge but we can’t bitch too much bout it.
I’d say those wins were more despite Molina’s presence rather than because of it.
Psssh.
Haha. Well, considering how A.J. was throwing his last time out, I could’ve been catching and the Yankees would’ve won.
Thing is, we have no way of knowing that. Many here have said things like “Posada has plenty of good games with AJ.” But you know what, Molina has more good games and fewer clunkers. That doesnt mean that Molina is responsible, but assuming that he is not doesn’t really make a ton of sense.
Going to have to agree here.
Gonna have to disagree. Not gonna get into it, but there’s a myriad of factors contributing to why Jorge’d be a better choice.
Not really. It’s his offense versus whatever effect Molina has on AJ.
“Winners have simply formed the habit of doing things losers don’t like to do”
IT ENDS TONIGHT !!
Power.Pride.Pinstripes.Legacy.Dynasty.History.
We. got. it. all.
We. got. this.
Don’t forget sexy nightclub dancers named Mystique and Aura.
No “Grit” or “Fundamentals” but those are stupid names for sexy nightclub dancers anyway.
You DO NOT want a lap dance from a chick named “Grit”.
She’s got a penis stuffed in her tight jeans.
A slideshow of odd images just went through my mind. Thanks a lot…
Has Robinson Cano been spinning in circles with his head on the knob of the bat in the on-deck circle? Or is he just utterly worthless?
Note: Feel free to insert Mark Teixeira wherever you see Robinson Cano
Tex and Robbie will have big hits tonight.
If they make up for how bad they’ve been, we will score at least 10 runs
By “we” I mean the professional baseball players on the Yankees. I like to believe I play for them sometimes.
Happens to us all.
We: The collective group of people who support and consider themselves part of the fanbase of the NY Yankees.
We are we.
Gardner and Molina are a combined 5-15 vs. Lee in their careers… TSJC start handing out those bayonets because we are going to fucking mutilate those fuckers!
Well, he’s not here yet, but I’ve seen him do it before. I’ll give it a shot.
(passes out Japanese sex dolls)
Damn! How does he do it?
It’s tougher than it looks, but you’ll get it. Keep trying.
The Yankees are one win away from their first world series in nearly a decade. Curse of… George Bush?
I blame Mike Mussina and Giambi.
Curse of The Moose?
don’t the yanks only win when theres a democrat as the president?
That is retarted. Under GW, Yanks were in the WS in 2000, 2001, and 2003. He was also elected President for the 1999 WS.(but not yet sworn in) Thats technically 4 times in his first term, with 2 WS rings. I’d say thats pretty damn good.
ESPN ran a spot about how the yanks win much more titles with democrats in office……not my theory
Your logic is flawed. The Yanks won in 2000 before Bush was elected. He was sworn in Jan 2001 and elected Nov 2000 right after the last WS win.
As long as Bush was in the White House, the Yanks made it to the WS twice and lost both times. This is the first WS with Obama.
My facts may be wrong, but my logic is right. It is the logic that the Yankees WS wins has ANYTHING to do with whom is President that is flawed.
Fired up!!! Yankees, they got the Phillies backs to the wall and pinned down. Time to reach forward, grab the throat AND CRUSH IT. No rally monkey and no fucking Philly Phanatic is going to stop this tidal wave known as the Yankees!
Also keep this in mind, remember that half ass catch Lee did on that pop up in game 1? Rip him a new one!!
LMAO @ Ozzie.
“This is the World Series. You can beat the shit out of people later.”
/paraphrased.
words of wisdom!
I L’ed OL.
THIS IS GONNA FELL SO GOOD, ALMOST AS GOOD AS….
never been more hyped for a game in my life!
Is it against Mo’s wishes for me to hate Jayson Werth? Because I think I hate Jason Werth.
Mo understands….Our Mo is a forgiving Mo
Why would it be against Mo’s wishes?
Woah a Jeter montage?? Sweet!!!
Even Rocky had a montage.
I’m calling it now (disregard if wrong), The Boys will touch Cliff Lee for 7 runs in 3 innings.
I’m holding you too this.
I’ll take 3 runs in 7 very happily.
November 2, 1964 -CBS purchases 80% of the Yankees for $11,200,000.
They need to do something to change the ugliness that happen on this date.
wrong spot my bag
The Captain, I tip my cap for thee.
Who here remembers 27/09? I think it is time to make that a true statement!!
GO YANKS!
Whatever happened to Old Ranger anyway?
I hope he’s alive to see this.
Damnit! I wish Chad Gaudin were starting and then we might have a shot to win this fucking series!!!
/irrational Yankees fan’d
/Mike Francesa and his brainless audience’d
Barry Larkin’d
Ozzie Guillen actually just said that Derek Jeter is the best Yankee of all time.
Joe Morgan wouldn’t even say shit like that.
Better than bay rufe?
But Gammons might.
Wait, really? Wow.
Maybe he was doing his Kanye impression? Does Ozzie get ironic like that?
The DU Basketball team (most of it) has been rooting for the Yanks too so that’s good.
It ends tonite!
So … who’s excited?
i am at about an 11
I’ll probably be pacing the entire game.
Check.
I’m already at half a stock before the first pitch. That’s ALWAYS a good sign.
This one goes to 27.
I’m as hard as a diamond in an ice storm right now.
Two Canadians and a Staff Sergeant. Great job on the National Anthem, Philly.
Alanis? Really?
And isn’t it Ironic? Don’t you think…?
Seek and Destroy!!!!
I had over 1,000,000 points with 200 lives on Brickbreaker, and my phone died.
The first thing I thought of was George trying to get the Frogger machine out of the pizza shop.
and where the hell have you been?
I was doing stuff.
Start it off El Capitan!!!
While coming home, I saw two people get on the bus only to get off the next stop, which literally a 100 yards away, maybe less.
america ftw!
Americans don’t take public transportation. Only socialists do.
ah, touche
How far apart are the stops?
which literally a 100 yards away, maybe less.
Oh, c’mon. That was like two clauses into his sentence. Who do you think we are? Rhode Scholars?
Nice.
And I am not exaggerating either. I always wondered why they had one there but it is across the street so it kinda makes sense.
I hope they had unlimited passes…
I think they were students. All public transportation is free to students in Colorado (unless it counts in our tuition fees, which I doubt as every college has it for free). Trains and buses and whatever else that is there.

GO BACK TO RUSSIA YOU COMMIES!!!!
they realized they were on the wrong bus. Happens to tourists all the time in NY.
We could have a drinking game taking one each time Joe Buck says “CLIFF LEE” but we’d all be wasted before the first pitch.
Cliff Lee once pitched a complete game on just one pitch, Bugs Bunny-style.
I have not been this psyched for a game ever.
BamBam’s baaaaaaaaack….
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/giants/index
Tommie’s gonna be real happy.
The Giants are now my new second favorite team.
(Not really, but roll with it.)
Because he loves the Yankees.
http://www.hindutemplevc.com/images/ganesha.jpg
Ganesh is always good.
LOL Melkman jumping around in the dugout.
Did they actually confirm it’s a tear? I’d be surprised to see him jumping around like that with a torn hammy.
Doubt it’s a tear.
he’s more valuable dancing in the dugout. It’s in Joe’s binder. new section…
WE PLAY TODAY, WE WIN TODAY, DAS IT
Best moment of the 1996 WS home video, baby. Bring it home tonight!
Nervous, in a great way.
same here
i can hardly contain myself
Hopefully Cliff left his Globe Trotters undies at home.
Yankees need to step out often, slow down Lee and annoy the crowd.
The number one through six spots need to carry this team tonight. Let’s get the bats talking early and WIN IT TONIGHT!
Butterflies. In the first inning.
the yanks have to not bite on the curveball and make him actually throw a breaking ball for a strike tonight
i never saw them do that in game 1
Hella range by Utley.
Utley and Rollins have been very good at positioning themselves this series.
9th inning game 4 says hello
jk of course
There we go, runner on base. Make it happen Johnny.
Steal two bases again, Johnny. You set a standard, stick to it.
Johnny Damon is earning a new contract again.
Damn Utley and his range!
Wooo! No-no gone! Will he be rattled?
/Kay’d
It begins. Tex message, please.
nice job johnny
Oh no! Damon got a hit off Cliff Lee! Joe Buck is crying.
Susan Waldman and John Sterling were talking about the Jeter play in Toronto when he separated his shoulder, and Waldman went “Yes, Yes, when he broke his arm.” I am now less intelligent than I was when I started to listen to the broadcast. I hate being at work with no t.v.
In a perfect world, Vin Scully would be the national voice of baseball.
As bad as his noodle is, I don’t like thinking this could be Johnny’s last game in the pinstripes
Doesn’t appear like Lee has his A-game. Please don’t do anything stupid Mark.
Where is Cliff’s impeccable control?
First look and Lee is definitely not as sharp as he was in Game 1.
I am thinking Lee’s full rest is making him look sharp.
just watch his breaking stuff
the guy can’t consistently throw it for strikes
Where do the Philly pitchers keep their caps? Do they just toss them in the dirt between games?
in the attic with balloon boy
Tex is taking batting advice from Molina.
Damn, well struck but right at Werth.
Damon had good BABIP luck, Tex had bad BABIP luck.
Their “you took steroids” chant is really off. It seems like everyone is conversing really loud.
Lee doesn’t appear to have the best location tonight. Throwing a lot of balls in the dirt, all ball 1 to the batters except for Damon.
Just need to be patient, look for your pitch…
A-Rod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alex Rodriguez is good at baseball
This
THERE IT IS
He can’t be any clutchier
1-0. Go Alex.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BOI!!!!!!!
you’re not invincible LEE!!!!
AROD!
HELL YEAH, HERE WE GO
Not an A-Bomb, but I think I’ll take it. 1-0 Yankees.
NO COMMERCIALS, NO MERCY!!!!!!
We are on our way
I like it. Getting to him early can’t go wrong with that.
Yesssss
I’m still in love
STAT PADDIN LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER
1 nothing already. That was quick
A-GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD.
A-GOD!!!
The Centaur!
I think this needs to be A-Rod’s secondary nickname.
I don’t think any athlete in any sport has ever been “The Centaur.” Totally awesome.
If actually does have two pictures of himself as a Centaur (and not really sure I believe the story), then he might actually like having the nickname.
A-rod = god
Yeaaaah, Alex!
I think the last two days have helped key A-Rod in. He cut down on his stroke and he’s making solid contact on the ball. Big run for the Yanks in the first inning. Now keep it going boys!
Centaurific!
love the little yankee fan group seating haha
Alex’s horse half is even better than his man half.
Lee is not locating his pitches at allll.
Lee definitely doesn’t look as sharp tonight.
Where can I buy that picture of A-Taur?
I want it for my bedroom.
Hey guys,
I’m a long time reader of RAB, but never really took the time to comment, even though I usually read through the comments. But for a potential world series clincher, I gotta go along for the ride with the RAB crew. Go Yanks!
Way to go, Swish.
Good move walking swish to get to robbie w/risp
C’mon, Robbie. Get it done.
The heel touched the plate fucking Buck, he’s not fucking Ryan Howard.
+27
Let’s go, Robbie.
C’mon Robbie.
he might settle down…tee off early and often…
Buck: OH THAT WAS CLOSE!!
Translation: HE WAS OUT!!
God what a tool.
Damn. Hit right at him.
Fuck right at him
Eh, he hit it hard, oh well.
thanks for nothing, cano
eh, BABIP hard luck. We’re getting solid contact of Lee and that’s what counts.
Dammit. Again, another well struck ball but right at someone.
I’ll definitely take the 1-0 lead, though.
Tex, Jeter, and Robbie all had hard-hit outs.
As if Cano isn’t bad enough without runners on. That was more than a sure out.
alright
good start to lee
they battered him a bit
now let’s get em AJ
I’ll take it. Hopefully AJ is on his game again.
love how everybody put the bat on the ball.
Fox crew didnt mention how quiet it was in the ole ballpark
20 pitches, just 9 strikes for Lee.
yeah, his control looked off. Hopefully it stays that way, I’d love to finish this off against the Phillies’ ace.
Buck probably though Lee made a statement by only giving up 1 run.
If only Cano would snap out of his funk…
It’s going to be interesting next inning with Gardner and Molina. Does Girardi just try and bunt Gardner on for a hit?
But the Yanks need to take care of the Philly bats too. Let’s go AJ! A quick inning puts an ineffective Lee right back out there.
Nah, don’t give away the AB. They’ll be looking for the bunt. Plus, Lee isn’t locating too well right now so they should try and wait him out.
That was a good hit by Cano. It was just right at Ibanez.
AJ drinks the Gatorade flavor I prefer after my baseball workout/games, Mango Extremo FTW!
The only Yankee hitter without contact worked a walk.
Sweet!
Johnny Damon really is the shit.
I like how the Windows 7 commercials have ugly guys that are represented by hunky studs in their flashbacks, but they had the good sense to just pick a cute girl for the female version of the commercial and stick with her throughout.
They know the #1 rule of business: Ugly chicks don’t sell.
this is why we have 5 macs at my house in houston
You: preaching
Me: the choir
My first Mac was an Apple IIe in 1984.
Did you have that Lewis and Clark game? I didn’t know how to play it, but that game was the shit.
HELLS YES I WAS THE BOMB-DIGI IN OREGON TRAIL
Lee is off his game clearly.
But he looks comfortable and comfort is all that matters.
At the advice of my girlfriend, I will erect a small AROD-taur shrine right next to my Jeter shrine and MO shrine.
Goal for the 1st: 20 pitches out of Lee
Mission accomplished.
(more modest) Goal for the 2nd: 10 pitches out of Lee
I smell a Lafer and a Burnett gem
Rob Neyer saying that Cliff Lee is rumored to doctor the ball with talcum powder.
That’s crazy.
It’s not crazy, it’s Rob Neyer…
2 seam caught too much of the plate.
Haven’t commented on here in a while. Great time to be back!
Frontrunner.
Welcome back, buddy YOU GOT HERE JUST IN TIME
Rollins came right out hacking at the first pitch.
Haha!!! I love it! The roll call is fuckin loud!
Does Chase Utley’s facial expression ever change?
my girlfriend refuses to admit he is a good baseball player because she hates his hair.
Only when he hangs out with Hideki Matsui.
There’s money drop #1.
Blanton/Lee and AJ all have pine tar/rosin on the cap????
Jeter needs to get to that ball.
AJ has a dirty hat, too. Maybe it’s just Philly?
What Phillie is more annoying to watch: Jimmy Rollins or Chase Utley?
Get a DP AJ.
Damn, floated back over the middle.
It’s all good, A.J. Settle and get a grounder.
So what moronic thing did Ozzie say? Phillies in six still even though it’s impossible?
If they do well tonight we have to give them back the runs from last night. That’s the rule. Just like you don’t have to touch home plate.
Are the Creatures in PA?
FOULLL
payback imo
Not a great start AJ. Settle it down here.
Yes! Drill the bastard
Wtf, how did he not offer at that?
Hey man Victorino leaned over the plate
Yeah that’s what you get for fucking with our boy A-Rod.
It wasn’t payback you numbskulls.
HAHAHA Jimmy Rollins makes their offense “go”
…29% of the time.
Horrible start by AJ.
Ooooooh, unintentional/intentional AJ retribution. I like it.
Can’t wait to hear Victorino whine about this after the game
Triple play. Let’s get it!
would that still have hit him if he wasnt trying to bunt?
There is no way in Mo that this was intentional.
I don’t think he was throwing at him. Look how far he leaned in!
When someone is bunting, you throw up and in.
Damn it AJ. Come on.
What do you want to do Buck, go down and give him a kiss? Good grief.
AND HERE IS UTLEY!!
I hate Joe Buck.
Wow…
GOD DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!
FUCK
WOW! Fuckin Utley
Well fuck. That can’t possibly be a good sign.
Damn
damn
Not an ideal start for Burnett
Well this looks familiar.
I’m still not scared.
Confidence Level: Still 27
+1
he’ll pick himself back up
Utley is a Yankee killa.
Ouchies.
That’s all they get, stop it right there AJ.
Way to go AJ. Hopefully we can outslug them tonight.
Hmmmm…not a good beginning. Settle down AJ. It’s early.
Ok, it might be Bad AJ tonight.
i hate chase utley
……..
welcome to philadelphia bad a.j.
god damn
Oh.
It’s going to be one of those games.
shit
Well, looks like we know which AJ Burnett showed up tonight.
Can they PLEASE pitch around that motherfucker.
Thank goodness Molina’s back there, to make sure we get good AJ.
This one was not meant to be anyway. AJ on 3 days rest against Lee on normal rest. I guess we should hope they don’t embarass AJ too bad.
1st inning.
STFU you whiner.
Should have voted for ESPN Brazil to show the Giants game instead.
Do you know there is more than one inning in baseball?
Are you fucking serious
To everyone: STOP RESPONDING TO BRAZILIAN YANKEE.
He’s demonstrated time and again he’s irrational. Don’t entertain his insane ramblings.
Hopefully this is one of AJ’s “give up a few in the first then settle down and pitch 7″ type of starts…that and our bats pick him up.
He needs to give up a 4th run, first.
Chase Utley may end up pulling a Bobby Richardson: Winning the MVP in a losing effort.
Gotta let AJ work his way through this. Can’t burn the bullpen no matter how bad he’s doing. Need to save those guys in case Pettitte struggles on Wednesday.
what the balls is going on
Just take out Cliff Lee and anything is possible.
Like Kevin Garnett says… ANYTHING IS POSSIBLEEEEE
Oh boy… it’s time for bad AJ…..
Utley definately more annoying
Wait, do they want to clinch it at home so badly?
Lose something, Howard?
Nice swing, Ryan.
That swing right there accurately sums up Ryan Howard’s series
wow it took .2 seconds for the bridge jumpers to run towards the ledge lol
They have all the short-term memory of rabbits.
REALLY?
Where the fuck did that miss?
Ummm, where did that pitch miss?
High and outside. I’d be pissed if they called that a strike with the Yankees batting.
GameDay called it a strike
Would love to know where that pitch missed
That kind of stunk a bit.
Gaudin and Aceves will definately see some action tonight.
Heh Howard treating a walk as if he did something extremely significant.
And AJ can’t pitch well on the road…
Methinks that was a strike
this is maddening
*remembers TSJC in back of mind*
Patience, young padawan.
yes sir
where did that miss c’mon
Make that the last time Utley gets a hittable pitch.
You know what fuck them bad AJ or good AJ they still winning this shit tonight.
Bingo.
Agreed.
Hope AJ takes the horse by the reigns and regains control of the game.
Well, at least he recovered.
Let’s kick some ass.
This game blows already. *sigh*
No reason to say “bad AJ” at this point. Rollins hit the ball pretty well, sure. There’s absolutely no reason Victorino should even have been on base. Utley…well, no comment. Howard’s ball four was unquestionably a strike.
Calm down, guys.
Fuck Joe Buck. “Just like that the Yankees are up 3-1″. He makes it sound like they cheated.
It’s OK. Settle AJ, settle! We got this.
2 seamer is drifting DANGEROUSLY over the plate almost every time he throws it
cmon aj throw it further outside
Take it easy ledge jumpers. If AJ can limit it to 3 runs, he’ll settle down.
Crisis management AJ, crisis management.
Alright, settle in here, and get it back next inning
Alright, big first out. Now one pitch away from getting out of it. A.J’s just gotta limit the damage here and let the offense get the runs back.
What’s that big circle in AJ’s back pocket? Giant condom?
Your mom’s diaphragm.
http://www.hiyooooo.com
Out. Cool thing.
Ooooh, look, a nasty strikeout by nasty AJ.
Me likely.
…lee better not be getting those pitches
i have a 5 page paper due tomorrow, but I dont care, watching the yanks give the phillies some hope before they step on their throats and end their WS dreams will make it all the sweeter.
zone is much tighter tonight that it was last night. lee is not on his shit, so no need to panic. AJ will settle like he did in anaheim.
AJ will calm down, it’s only the first 27 tonight
Who doesn’t believe?
And i mean about winning TONIGHT.
Brazilian Yankee is on the ledge right now.
he is always on the ledge.
Ignore him.
Tight zone tonight.
I just got in, how did Lee look? I like 20 pitches in that first inning, along with the run
Definitely not as sharp as game 1. Threw 11 balls out of 20 pitches
That makes me feel a lot better, Thanks
he was 3-0 on teix and walked swish on 4 so not sharp.
No Tim, No
Nice play Tex.
Solid play by Tex. Nice.
great play Teix.
Oh, Tex.
AJ pitched pretty good after getting lit up for 4 in the first vs. the Halos.
Have faith.
Teix you are the man
That’s what they BOUGHT??? Couldnt find a better word, Joe?
Haha, Tex’s stupid stare at AJ’s spike-scraping.
He’s like a kid watching a magic trick.
did joe buck just say “bought a guy”
Yup
TEX!!! Flashing the leather!!!
Teixeira works hard for the money.
Money drop #2.
Even though our offense suffers, our D is unquestionably MUCH improved.
Alright, offense. Get back to work.
AJ’s fighting hard – he’ll compose himself after this. Time for the bats to go to work
Only -2. We’ll get it back
Lee looks mortal tonight. AJ Burnett is ready to put a couple 0s on the board.
Still say Victorino coulda got outta the way of that if he weren’t bunting.
Do we have to fucking hear about who the Yankees “bought” or the investments they made in the offseason every 2 minutes? Joe Buck makes you think every other player in baseball plays for free.
That pitch that Utley hit was a beachball right over the middle of the plate
Crazy as it sounds…I feel more calm about this game now.
