World Series Game Four Spillover Thread II

CC you don’t need to hit the Phillies, hit the ump. Maybe he’ll get some sense knocked into him.

Animorphs?

Yikes. Cano needs any kind of hit in the biggest way.

I think Buck meant to say that the ump struck out 5.

I hold this umpire in same very low esteem as child molesters.

almost clicked on the 2 for 1 burial space ad on the main page for these damn umps and their strike zones

Well, won’t have my laptop in my next class, so I just have to hope things go well over the next 50 minutes.

Re: McCarver calling out three Yankees for complaining about the zone

Agreed on this point…he made it sound precisely as though only the Yanks have been bitching when it’s clearly been both sides.

Although I wish the Yanks would shut up about it. No sense in jawing with the ump, it can only hurt.

Certainly good no one’s life depends on Cano swinging the bat and hitting the ball. Everyone would be dead right now.

This is what is frustrating about this team. They get a pitcher on the ropes and then two innings of weak hacks helping him get back into a rhythm. It is Joe Blanton, not Josh Beckett – stop swinging at shit pitches.

time ot stop working the count against Blanton with this zone everyone is down 0-2

no wonder Cano gets the rep he gets…that looked like AB he just had no interest in..

We got the lead and we got CC on the mound, that’s all that matters. CC better start getting those same fucking calls though.

Blantar.

Corretion Joe, the ump has retired 11 straight.

hopefully CC is in the groove now

Dear Mr. Blanton-

We know you suck. In order to make this somewhat fair, we’ll try and give you any pitch you want. Just don’t bounce it, OK?

XOXOXO,
The Umpires.

This umpire is absolutely being paid off by the Phillies, or MLB, or someone. There is seriously no other explanation for this, nobody could have a strike zone that bad and not be doing it purposely. I hate sounding like a conspiracy theorist, but something is very wrong here.

What’s that shit on Blanton’s hat? It’s a brand new hat so its not dirty.

BTW, I’m not accusing anyone of anything.

This strike zone has me rolling around on the floor in agony.

I’m not usually one for conspiracies but what is that stain on Blanton’s hat?

I want to make this clear: yes, the zone has been terrible. Not even fair.

That said,

WE’RE WINNING. AND THERE’S NO EXCUSE TO HAVE 11 STRAIGHT RETIRED BY BLANTON, small zone or not.

Okay?

Buck is basically saying “I wish Ryan would hit a HR for me!”.

Memories of Paul Byrd, ‘07. Predict a man will suck, and he will most assuredly not suck. Why? I have no fucking idea.

shit.

wow I think uck just came a little

Crud. That’s a bad start to this inning.

OMG Joe Buck is so excited Ryan Howard got a hit

Oh no ryan Howard is breaking out!

Cmon CC. Get a DP!

This is beyond a childhood dream… it’s an umpiring nightmare!!!

Ah WTF, Jorge!!!

what the hell.

How in the world do you let Howard steal standing up? My lord.

Say one thing about the Phillies: they’re a patient team, and they don’t swing at balls out of the zone so far. (Sliders to lefties excepted).

Ok, Howard stealing? What the fuck, guys.

Stolen base for Ryan fucking Howard?

Molina!

You let Ryan Howard steal a base off you? Holy God.

ballsy. bad transfer by jorge.

only Jorge

ugh.

He stole that base because he’s on a diet!

Tim McCarver is a millionaire, ladies and gentlemen.

Yeesh. CC bout to take care of this his own damn self.

Yes, Molina is catching tomorrow. Thank god.

I can’t watch anymore.

Nice play, Alex!

howard stole a base?????

CC’s control is a little off tonight, it seems. The umpire has the same control over the strike zone.

Ryan Howard is a five tool player.

That’s on CC, as well.

Strike one was not a strike.

There we go CC getting a call.

I’m sorry but that’s a fucking joke. You can’t let Howard steal a base on you.

Anyways, keep on doing your thing CC.

Hey! We got a call too!

LOL @ this umpire. he needs PEDs.

Calm down people. CC’s got this.

Damn, these guys are better than that bias ass Kruk.

game has a funny vibe.

CC will make Pedro Feliz Pedro Triste

/maybe funny if you know spanish

Ahhhh shit.

Posada catch the ball

FUCK.

Come on Jorge!

fml.

“Jorge Posada” is NOT a Spanish phrase meaning “Johnny Bench”

Dammit, Jorge.

Jorge wtf and why doesn’t Johnny hit the cutoff there?

Posada blew that.

Posada wtf?

fucking Jorge hold on to it man

ugh, if damon had ANYTHING for an arm he would have been out by a mile

Damon’s arm is horrible.

He never touched home.

He never touched the plate.

Johnny Damon on D has cost the Yankees both runs defensively. Yankees offense better fuckin wake up now.

Without even looking at a replay, I’m sure Howard DIDN’T touch home, because the ump called him safe.

Mudafucka never touched home plate. lol.

Now that’s fucking ridiculous. My 3 year old cousing could have thrown Howard out at the plate.

true. never touched.

he didn’t even touch homeplate man….wtf… he was just thinking of charging into Posada…

Where are the Posada defenders now…he costs us this run

wow he didnt touch home.

We’ll get to Blanton

This is officially a joke?

You’ve got to be kidding me! How could you not re-tag just to make sure? Terrible play there by Posada.

Wow, he never touched home.

Thanks ump! ANOTHER FUCKING BLOWN CALL!

good god everett is horendous

Posada has to hold on to the fucking ball there.

Posada has to make that play.

My roommate’s girlfriend, who’s from Peru: “Pedro Feliz? That last name sucks. He’s Pedro Happy!”

Umpires tie the game at 2.

wow never touched home

WTF stupid home plate ump

Damnit Jorge, you should have had that!!!!

terrible defense by jorge… damn

Hey! We got a horrible controversial ump call against us too!

I kinda hate Posada right now.

Howard touching the plate should be a non-issue.

Damon’s weak throw did get home before Posada and it should have been an out at the plate.

Nice catch Pussada!

CC should have tagged Howard.

God I hate bad defense.

Damon’s arm and Posada’s total ineptitude, ugh.

how come Posada cant catch all of the sudden?

Well, stepping on home would do no good right? You would have to re-tag Howard?

Well I guess it’s time for the Yankees offense to stop bitching about the strike zone and start hitting Blanton hard again.

posada is really fucking atrocious. im sorry but his play behind the plate is just AWFUL. He gets crossed up a zillion times, he lets balls pass up million times, he can’t block a plate for SHIT. Considering the super tight strikezone for CC and his shit for brains catcher, CC has done a superb job sofar.

So this is what is meant by umpires the only remaining human element.

Well the umpires tied the game at two.

Forget home plate. Posada needs to catch the ball.

C’mon. Let’s not get on the ump about that one. Without replay, that’s an impossible call; Howard slid OVER the base. Let’s blame Jorge for not holding on and Johnny for botching it by not hanging back and using his momentum to get some more on the throw.

I hope this is the last game Mike Everitt ever umps.

Time to put something together off Cy Blanton.

Let’s recreate that Philly fifth inning luck!

This is frustrating but the yankees are goint to get to blanton it is inevitable.

well that inning goes to Jorge

OK, maybe a bad call but it’s not like we ever tagged him. If Damon had a 13 year old girl’s arm they wouldn’t have even sent him. What a miserable arm.

alright, let’s please get to blanton?

I’m not sure, but if he didn’t touch home… why did the umpire call him safe? did he know or not?

Ok this is fucking ridiculous now. Lets just come out hacking this inning, drop a 4 spot on Blanton and be done with this shit.

Dont blame the ump…Posada let the guy steal second and dropped the throw…he really sucks!!!! when will Yankee fans other than myself realize he is a huge liability….

Posada can’t even frame a pitch

IMO, the ump is only culprit #3 in that play. Damon and Posada need to be shitty enough to make the missed call possible.

this game is tied but this is one fucking frustrating game thus far thanks to this piece of shit umpire

Oh damn the trolls are coming…

Can’t wait to hear how riled up John Kruk will be over that call. (rolls eyes)

We have stop whining and start swinging…

Prediction: They’re not going to do anything to make these UMPS accountable ANYTIME soon.

Haha, people hating on Jorge already. Yes, he did bad there but still.

that ump has some explaining to do. if he thought he touched the base, what was he waiting for? the ump literally was like, oh he threw to second, i guess he will eventually touch home plate so i’ll just call him safe.

ump knew he didn’t touch and called him safe anyway. that’s why people hate umps. they just make shit up as they go along.

Posada is sucking, but the hyperbole. Umm, we missed the playoffs last year. A lot of that had to do with Posada being out for the season. This team needs his bat in order to succeed.

That’s not a strike from Blanton?

Okay, can we now get some hits off this dude? There’s a reason he has a 8.18 ERA against the Yankees…

yeah Joe Blanton’s sure been terrific wtf ever Buck wtf ever

strike!…wait…no?

Oh so Sabathia doesn’t look “comfortable” but Blanton has been “terrific.” I hate Buck and McCarver.

i wanna see CC get a ribbie this inning

Baserunner ftw!

Yankees are looking like the better team this game. I’m still not concerned. Especially with that lead off walk.

lets not waste this walk.

Okay, now Swisher needs to steal 2nd standing up without a throw. Oh wait, that wouldn’t happen to Ruiz.

A walk? What happened to the 34″ strike zone?

andy pettite is on the yankees mccarver you toolbag

Big AB for Melky here.

Melky’s got this.

Kruk is going to say that Howard’s shoe lace touched home. Just like that ball was not a home run last night.

Seriously, Blanton is not throwing amazing stuff out there. They have to get to him, don’t they?

Did McCarver just say that Swisher hit a double off of Andy Pettitte? That’s just plain awful.

Chase Fuckley!

I wonder if the Hillbilly Charlie is going to hide from the mid-inning interview again, and send one of his coaches in his stead.

“I don’t speak good English ya see. Reckon you can talk to them TV folk?”

Utley is my favorite Philly tonight.

I’ll take that

Hahaha, suck on that Utley for trying to be too fancy. Asshole.

yes.

Wait the umps didn’t call that a double play?
Cool.

What the fuck was that?

No bunt CC, three run bomb.

Haha Utley. What an asshole.

nice flip dick

Cmon CC. I know you have a RBI in you.

No DP!

good play Utley, please lay down a good bunt CC

utleys grease finally came back to bite him in the ass.

Utley’s helping them out this game, that’s two infield hits that could have been outs.

LOL, fucking ass clowns.

Bunt with CC?

I’d love to see him kill one here but he has to bunt

that’s a dumb play and no mention of it from these commentators…ughhhhh lol i’m frustrated

Argh, I would have CC swing away at this point. Is Sabathia any good at this?

The guy behind the plate is a disgrace. First ZZ gets squeezed that leads to a run in the first inning and then the strike zone become enormous for Blanton

I know a lot of people are saying the Yankees have to take the bat off their shoulders and adjust, but it is nearly impossible to do that right now. The ump is giving strikes for Blanton that are high, low, inside and outside. You can not expand the strike zone in every direction

Man, if Utley takes his time I think the gets the force. Bad play

come on cc, help your own cause

aw come on…gotta let CC hit here.

That actually was a good play by Utley. If it gets through, Swisher could have been on third.

That pick off for Swish wasn’t an out?
I thought anything related to Swisher on the base paths in an umpire automatic out.

FUCKIN UMPIRE!!!!!

Wow…what a strike call.

bad cc.

Dammit CC.

CC has to do a better job there…fucking awful.

No Double Play, it’s okay.

My thoughts exactly, CC.

this is unreal

This shit again.

I’m not even going to comment on that.

i would’ve let him swing away. ftw!

Jeter’s going to try the same thing here.

why are you making CC bunt with 2 strikes?
god joe is so dumb sometimes

Why not hit away with two strikes? Think you are Jeter, CC?

Are we still bunting with 2 strikes?

CC’s too big to bunt. He can’t get down low enough.

Fuck this, the Yankees need to STOP BUNTING with 2 strikes. Please go over Baseball 101 again.

Cmon Jeter… break this fucker open

See that. CC can hit! No one taught him to bunt because of that.

Why not let the big man swing?

This is in the bag already.

Sorry — there’s no excuse for a pitcher looking clueless bunting

I was wrong that was just terrible maybe he should have been swinging

The offense better get going or there are going to be a lot of very angry Yankee fans tomorrow blaming a lot of different people for stupid play.

Atta boy Cap!

JETER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JETER!

There ya go captain.

Atta boy Jeet.

NICE. Let’s pour it on baby.

Alright, let’s get this started!

CAPTAIN CLUTCH STRIKES AGAIN

Cap’n Clutch, way to go!

jeter is mojo incarnate.

OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN.

let’s pile it on here

Hey phuckers, we’re back up again. So which SS has bad defense?

Jeet.

CAPTAIN!

Nice!!!!!!!!

El Capitan……

ARod and Jeter have carried this team offensively.

Having CC bunt was a good call. He hits a grounder and it is a sure double play.

That’s how Jeter do. We knew that was coming versus this asshole Blanton.

Off the bat, I thought dp. Phew!

I’m surprised Swisher wasn’t out again. I can’t believe these umpires are actually getting easy calls this time around.

Intangible of intangibles!

JETER!

FINALLY! WE GET ONE TO SQUEAK THROUGH!!

F the haters.

rollins? moar like rawlings amirite

Yanks are so old-fashioned, touching home plate. So quaint.

Derek Jeter chant in Corporate Bullshit Park!

When they score one, we score two (and hopefully more)

I want to see them blow this open so badly here.

Fucking crowd is stupid, “Derek Jeter sucks” after he gets a man home for the RBI? Retards.

McCarver has a million excuses for the phillies.

Bust. It. Open.

…and the trolls leave in a record 2 mins 33 seconds. Stick around, boys, we’re just getting started.

Remember guys. Joe Buck says Blanton has been TERRIFIC!

Utley is no cano

Oh Johnny!!!

Good job Leche.

Touch that plate.

He touched the plate!

Look at Melky actually touch the plate!

Who does that?

Johnny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bloops FTW

TERRIFIC! TERRIFIC!

YES. Come on Tex…get your swing on.

yes! melky touches plate too!

Melky also knows how to touch the plate.

Yay. But why was Melky jogging?

Hahaha Melky went back and touched the plate

wow Melky

That’s why we tolerate the noodle arm, guys. Remember? Damon is good at hitting.

Keep the train rolling.

Ladies and Gentlemen… this inning is the baseball Gods putting things back into balance.

RISP, you magnificent bastards, RISP!

Another right call? Regardless it being clear as day I’m still shocked.

Oh….so you have to touch home for it to count??

Thanks Melky

Thats right, we touch home. we don;t need help from the umpires.

See, that’s how you go back and touch the plate.

I thought you didn’t have to go back and touch home if you pass it w/o touching it?

well CC may have accidently helped himself the fact Rollins was pinching a bit for the double play probably helped that ball get through

Argggg.
What is going on? My directv just rebooted. Unfuckenbelievable!!!

Put this game away now!!

Another Melkyfuckedupbutitworkedoutsoitsokay™ moment.

hot ball chick.

If ever a double or HR from Tex was needed… NOW is the time.

I don’t think we have a 3-run HR in the playoffs. Now would be a great time to get the first one.

Doe Joe Blanton have tine par on the tip of his cap?

Is that pine tar on Blanton’s hat rim? It looks too dark for dirt at this point. lol

ATTABOY Melky! GO back and stomp on home plate!

Now Joe Blanton feels the wrath of a tight zone.

Tex is worthless with the bat.

God damnit Tex.

let’s f**king go A-Rod

God dammit….

Damnit Tex. I know he hit it hard but see another pitch because he has to make 2 pitches, not one.

SHUT UP TIM AND JOE!!! YOU SUCK!!!

God tex sucks !!!!

Dammit Tex, get some fucking hits.

Now sure would be a good time for an A-Bomb.

cmon a-rod.

get your revenge right here

Damn, A-Rod just missed it again.

Damn. Got way under that.

This should have been a much bigger inning.

Just missed that shit. Dammit!

Well, Alex it hitting it hard I guess.

GRITT—no, that was the Twins
FUNDA—no, that was the Angels
Touching mfing homeplate. Now THAT’S the Yankees

i’ll take 2. stay focused cc.

Shut ‘em down now boys

Fuckin Tex and Arod had a chance to put this shit away.

fuck 2 pop ups god damnit

Huge missed opportunity… CC needs to shut down for 2 more innings….
