Spring Training Countdown
Just 5 days 'til pitchers and catchers report.Banner Design By
I like what I’m seeing from Andy so far.
I like what im seeing from Andy too, but that cartoon of Hilary scares the shit out of me
Man, I love HillDawg but I agree. That cartoon is scary.
yeah that’s fugly
Hits!!!
In play, run(s)!
Right handed and Dominicanly.
Holy shit. I’ve been wondering why I got so hungry all of a sudden but then I remembered I haven’t eaten a single thing all day (upset stomach in the morning)
Alright A-Rod, start off the hit fest.
84? really?
That looked so slow
Finally, the Matt has returned to the Spillover Thread.
Cmon In play, run(s)for the Yankees!
Following on gameday??
Its a potential WS clincher! You’d better have a good excuse.
Nah, I havent used Gameday in while.
Ah, is this a new meme? I havn’t been around much in a while.
I dont think so. I just like saying that.
Well you are the second person in this thread. Perhaps its catching on.
Pitching around Arod….
Holy crap Pedro with the blazing 84 MPH fastball.
GODZILLAAAA!!!!
Pedro looks a bit worried, wouldn’t you say?
ok, we are in business now.
Great at-bat.
Cmon Hit-deki!
No DP
hahaha remember “Mike Mussina needs to learn how to pitch like Jaime Moyer”?
Pedro tearing it up with the heater. This game is going to get veeeery very good soon.
With A-Rod on, do you steal second? With Pedro only throwing between 80-84 mph, you’d have to think he would have a shot at getting in safe. It would put some pressure on Pedro as well.
Pedro wanted no part of Alex. Not the man part, not the horse part.
damn
Keep it fair next time!
Did Pedro get that necklace by showing his manboobs to some college kid at Mardi Gras?
I want to say something bad about Matsui so he proves me wrong.. you know for good luck.
the yankees are getting some good swings.
The Yankees should be able to kill Pedro the way he’s throwing.
It’s just a matter of getting the timing down. Once the hitters time Pedro’s 84 mph “heat,” it’s over.
ohhhhhhh…
I don’t think Pedro has too many more of those
Pedro looks uncomfortable.
Yes he does. Looks tired and sick
he can tell his daddy is PISSED
LOL Arod trying to psyche Pedro out.
watch out for that change up.
Goddammit, I thought it was over the bag!
Jesus, Hideki, stop playing with my emotions!
http://video.google.com/videop.....109387525#
damn again
man! is he getting lucky or what
That’s going to run out quickly
Lotsa pitches
They’re going to have a tough time keeping shit fair if he keeps throwing 84.
The 73 mph change-up will be devastating.
Pedro Martinex looks EXACTLY like Sayid From Lost.
Matsui is killing Pedro with this AB.
The hitters look awfully comfortable in the box against Pedro.
I would too, 88mph fastball? I’ve hit against someone throwing 91mph.
This at bat is taking for-e-ver.
/Squints’d
Nice at bat my Hit-deki. Get those pitches up!
Matsui is killing us here..come one Hideki keep one fair
MATSUI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
HOMER-DEKI!
HIDDDDDDDDDDEEEKi
WHO’S YOUR DADDY
Hideki second deki!
LETS GO!!! !BABY!!!!!
GODZILLA!!!!!
A THRILLA FROM GODZILLA!!!!!!
Let the games begin
THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT.
Make him work, hit it out. Great plan, Yankee. I love it.
GOJIRA! KRREEEAARRGGHHHH!
Beautiful. Bring in Mo.
A TRHILLA!!!!!!
BAM!!
Hit-Deki!!!
Awesome
And the answer to “wo’s your daddy” is Hit-Deki!
Called that shit four hours ago.
http://tinyurl.com/y9aloxj
i tip my cap to you fine sir
Nice work, fearless one.
much celebrating going on at slappys house………wooooooohooooooooo
Hideki says…free porn for everybody!!!
YEA BOIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Only the beginning…
Hideki muthafucka!
Give that man a contract!
Matsui was keyed in on that at bat, and he smoked that ball. Great at bat by Godzilla, and the stadium is rocking now that they have the early lead. Let’s keep pouring it on boys!
VOTE FOR PEDRO!
Who’s your daddy?….Hideki Matsui thats who!
A G-Bomb, from Godzilla!!
oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go Go Godzilla!!
IT HAS BEGUN!!
HELL YEAH MATSUI!
‘Sui’s your daddy
Matsui hit like 5 hard balls that AB but finally got it to go fair.
Hideki looked like he was taking BP against Pedro.
Should we get one of those 3/4 cages out to the pitcher’s mound? Safety first…
MATSUI!!!!!!
Pedro has nothing!!!
“Pedro was pitching with the swine flu, torn hamstrings, and a broken right hand.” – John Kruk or Peter Gammons (take your pick)
And the Yankees were stealing signs, so Matsui knew where it was coming. But unlike Posada, Ruiz just let it happen and didn’t waste time with trips to the mound.
/ESPN’d
But he gritted out his outing channeling his inner great Red Sox.
Really Jorge?
Pedro has a look on his face that says “I know I have nothing right now”
Yankees do have some really controlled emotions guys..Mo just fist pumping after pennant clinching, Hideki just smile..I like it ..ofcourse, there is Joba also
boo f’in yaa!!!
Why did Tim mention Budweiser at all in that sentence?
Don’t chase, Jorge!
Comon Posada, that was garbage.
Matsui is Pedro’s daddy
Struck out on an 80mph… middleball?
come on Posada.
That strikeout by Posada may be good. It’ll fake Charlie Manuel into thinking Pedro should stay in the game.
yeah we need to get 2 or 3 at a time ,leave him in pleeeeeease
damn at least cano hit it hard
Damn Robbie is hitting it hard lately just right at them!
Girardi looks very self-satisfied
Ugly for JoPo there. Laura aint gonna be happy bout that.
More bad luck for the Yanks and Robbie.
Dammit. Bad BABIP luck for Robbie. Someone go kill a chicken.
Are you saying Jesus Christ cant hit a curveball?
another hard hit ball
Cano..damn..some real bad luck there
80 mph is like batting practice.
Nick is totally putting this in the upper deck.
Nice Robby….bad BABIP luck there. Bullets from everyone. Pedro will be gone soon.
Cano CRUSHED that. Let’s hope that’s a sign
Joe Buck sounds like a kid who had candy taken away from him.
2 run lead and only 5 innings until Mo!
Cano is breaking out tonight, he is hitting some ropes.
jesus Jorge over anxious much
Swisher gets a hit.
Man Cano has some shitty luck
Damn, that was your pitch Swish.
Manuel is going to count the throw to 1b for Pedro in pitch count..he doesn’t see any difference between pitchs to batters and throws to 1b
But . . . wait . . . how can Pedro get hammered? He’s on normal rest!
HOW CAN THIS BE?!?!
WHAT CRUEL FATE HAVE THE GODS BESTOWED UPON ME?
Is Pedro varying his fastball pace, or does he have nothing and is just heaving on some and getting a couple extra mph?
A little of both, really.
Looking quickly at Gameday, it seems like he’s generally missing the fastball up in the zone, so it looks like a bit of overthrowing.
2 runs is a great start, hopefully we’ll double that by next inning.
hmm I love 2 runs but the next 3 guys really got him off the hook that PC should be higher oh well
I thought the same, but I’m not so sure his pitch count is going to matter, he’s already very hittable
if the yankees win tonight, who are you most happy for?
matsui
alex
swisher
yankees
All of ‘em.
That order
Matsui
Alex. Greatest ball player in the world needs some motherfucking BLING.
Alex.
I’m sad for Matsui, since I doubt he’s back next year.
Alex, hands down he’s been struggling in the playoffs since game 4 of the 04 alcs. great to see him raking
I’ve just finished the stenciling of my Matsui-san Centaur for my room
Half man, half giant reptile
With lil figurines by the feet ready to be crushed.
I thought they’d put up more that inning, but two runs is a nice start. They made Pedro throw pitches that innings, and now he’s sitting at 37 through two innings. Will we see J.A. Happ by the fourth inning?
come on Andy, big inning ,dont give em back
Comment on the ESPN game chat just now… I almost choked on my gum.
[Comment From Ledergrant ]
@ all the ESPN writers…..your bias is obvious since only 2 writers picked the Defending World Champions to win over your precious Yankees.
Wow. I wonder if this person is a Red Sox fan bitter that Papelbum blew it for them. Because all I see when I watch Baseball Tonight is every anchor wearing red socks, except for Kruk, who just stuffs his face every five minutes.
sweet god lets go yanks.
7 out, 20 to go.
I left my glove
with Ben Francisco
high on a hill
it calls to me
Where did that one miss?
where was that pitch?
Carlos Ruiz? Again? What the hell?
Fucking Ruiz.
Ah shit, bad bounce off the wall.
are you fucking kidding me come on guys
DAMMIT!
Lucky sonovabich………………………………
Fuckballs, yo.
That was not a good play, Gardy.
Ugh. Gardy fail
damnit! why is ruiz hitting us well?
That was a horrible play by Gardner. And where the hell was Swisher, he needs to back up on that play.
that was terribly played by Grit
ehh, took a strange karom (sp??)
It couldn’t hit off the plexiglass? Goddammit.
I’m going to give Gardner the blame on the triple. He seems to overrun some of those deep balls.
Alright Andy, let’s shut it down now.
Amazing how some shitty batters like Ruiz catch fire during the playoffs.
Man, Jeter might’ve had him there.
I miss Leche
i don’t think he makes it to that ball, but he has a good chance of throwing Ruiz out……then again, does ruiz run on leche?
Never should have been a 3-1 count
see jimmy run, see jimmy fail
If Ruiz could actually do that in the regular season, maybe he’d actually have some fucking fantasy value!
so now the strike zone shrinks come on
Why is Joe West squeezind Andy?
Joe West is a prick, I thought that was known by everyone.
He’s not exactly calling a wide zone for Pedro either. So, I wouldn’t be too bothered…yet.
What the fuck do guys like Carlos Ruiz and Jeff Mathis do to hit this well in the playoffs? I want a piss test.
Cmon Andy, get the out, forget the run.
Get the out Andy, we’ll give up the run.
C’mon Andy, find the strike zone.
Not having Melky hurt there
Nicely done… no big deal… outs are what we need.
Oh well. I’ll trade the out.
Stupid bad bounce off the wall.
It’s not ideal to give back a run, but with the way Pedro is pitching, the Yankees could easily get back a two-run lead in the bottom half of the inning.
Done
9 out, 18 to go.
This countdown is getting me so pumped up.
ER should go to Gardner there. Andy is still looking good.
Why should it go to Gardner? Replay showed it hit the corner of the paddng and took a bad bounce. How’s that on Gardner?
He was too close to the wall, but whatever. A good CF keeps Ruiz on 2nd.
Why should it? The ball took a bad bounce off the wall.
Watch before typing.
what is it with this team and junk catchers
Bad bounce got the run…. otherwise, that was just a double.
So far, Phillies have gotten lucky with their hits. We have gotten unlucky. This shits gotta turn soon.
Fluke
Thank you, Shane.
Alright, let’s get that run back…TENFOLD!
Meh, Andy was fine that inning
12 until 42
Such nonsense. That bad bounce sucked. Good to get out of it quickly with only 1 run.
Confidence level = 46
Strike zone is tighter than….insert your joke here.
And why isn’t Fox showing their little ‘k-zone’ graphic or whatever this time after every pitch that’s questionable?
Since your in Nebraska, did you hear anything about Joba’s Mom getting sentenced for dealing meth? I heard something on the radio but didn’t get the details.
Let’s go Brett make up for it here!
andy’s fine. one lucky double became a triple because of an even luckier hop, otherwise there’s no run that inning. 3 innings 1 ER before this game would have been a fine prediction.
Fuck Gardner for letting the ball bound sideways off the wall
From Hank Steinbrenner’s game notes:
“Change. Outfield. Padding. In. Offseason.”
Haha, IETC.
We will punish Darryl Jenks for that
Cmon Gardy do something good.
That was a strike?
it would be awesome it gardener can hit some line drives
if***
Grit, just get on base..they will give u free run..
Bunt Gardner, bunt!
Gardner is fucking terrible.
who would love it if Gardner hit a homerun here?
grady needs to put the ball on the ground!!
Gardner. Ugh.
Useless Brett.
Seriously.
Wow. Gardy’s stunk it up.
horrible at bat by gardner
Gardy is terrible… Can’t hit a lick
Brett is just lost up there.
Why does brett let fastballs down the middle go by? And then swing at pitches by his head?
maybe you haven’t been told but he is both gritty and gutty
3rd inning not Gardner’s best.
Great job brett. Cost the Yanks a run then have a terrible at bat.
did Brett throw the pitch? No
at least that was gritty what a joke
WHy couldn’t gardner fuckin try to bunt there?
To be fair, according to Gameday that first “strike” was way outside, forcing him to swing at that second pitch (also way outside, but in the same area as the first strike), putting him in an 0-2 hole.
Although, that doesn’t explain why he swung at the pitch so far up in the zone.
I don’t like Jay-Z, but I get pumped every time I hear Empire State of Mind when Jeter comes up.
has Gardner always been this bad ?
Thanks Shane.
Hey Victorino, you suck.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
Great play Shane, really.
Trapped. Beautiful.
There’s a change in luck hopefully. that should have been caught…
VictorinOWNED, once again
Ooh, good call. I didn’t think so at first.
Wow, good break. Victorino with the bad route.
Thanks Beefarino!
wow..some more fundamentally sound baseball..
Shane Victorino’s grit FAILED him right there.
Haha. I thought we were going to get lucky again.
Cmon Damon’s deck.
No DP.
Jeter says thank you Shane for the gift
Let’s go, Johnny. Slap your old buddy around.
Wow, we didn’t get fucked over on that call?
Unpossible!!!
I bet Buck still thinks Victorino’s the shit after that terrible read in the outfield.
Wait out the changeups, guys. Make him throw it for a strike first.
Johnny. Listen.
C’mon JD.
Good At-Bat right here really puts pressure on Pedro.
Run Derek run!
Those who’s your daddy chants gotta get in sync. Messy.
Pedro just digging his own grave now, almost there.
Damon looks jumpy at the plate. Can we send Jeter?
Can’t they send Jeter? WTF
time to put this in the “things i really shouldn’t know” file: the answer to the trivia question is 1964
Damn JD.
How do you miss that one?
“For those of you just tuning in for this series, a ball over the plate between the chest and knees is known as a ‘strike’.”
Those white loafers must smell really bad.
Pedro is straddling a fine line right now, and the Yankees need to be opportunistic and knock him out early. C’mon Damon, start it up!
As much as I currently despise the Phillies, it totally sucks that Harry Kalas died. That dude was the balls.
why are the bunt asnd stolen base attempts not part of the game tonight? Gardner should have bunted and Jeter should be on 2b now
They could put that suit and those white shoes in the booth and it would do a better job than Buck and McCarver.
Ghost of Harry Kalas >>> most announcers
You’d really hear the game breathe.
/ducks
Paulie Walnuts left his shoes in yhe Phillies dugout ?
Well that was freaking depressing.
old YS looks like an abyss
Yeah that was freaky. Like a black hole of baseball.
“And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.”
/nietzsche’d
/nihilism’d
Cmon Johnny
Wait so when Pedro does it, he’s throwing everyone off. But when Pettitte doing it, he’s wasting everyone’s time?
The Fox script says Yankees=bad for baseball
Johnny = gritty
Lets go Tex!
Cmon Tex.
No DP.
Great PA, Johnny. Let’s fuckin’ go, Tex! Big time to break out.
Let’s go T-Money!
Good eye Johny
and they go to the phone
LETS GO!
Oh God please…Don’t allow Tex to hit into a double play.
think positive..good for life
just got home. ile what i see. how’s pettite been?
1 more Al AB and we have poison pen ready to go.
Was that a strike?
This would be a wonderful moment for Tex to break out. If not, A-Rod’s got this.
Alright Teixeira!
We need a killing blow right here this inning. Contribute.
come on Tex a single will do it my friend
If Tex was ever due…….
Rich Dubee, Rich Dubee! To a courtesy telephone, please. Rich Dubee.
Don’t give him time to breath and don’t give the pen enough time to warm up. Knock out punch!
SERIOUSLY?
MAKE.
THEM.
PAY.
ALEX.
A-ROD time!
A-Rod with the bases loaded…epic win coming up.
YEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
Holy shit.
Do some work, Alex.
COME ON AROD!
Cmon A-Rod.
No DP.
BASES JAMMED FOR A-ROD!
That’s one way to get on base.
DAMN IT, FUCK YOU PEDRO. Well at least it’s n ot that fast coming from Pedro.
Ohh Boy! You hit him?
Let’s go Arod mvp!
Don’t make a fuss. We want this guy in the game.
That’s how you take one for the team, Mark.
Let’s do it, A-Rod.
i remember the last time tex got hit. a-rod made em pay!
Make ‘em pay, Alex.
ARod!!!!! ARod!!!! ARod!!!!! all we need is a base hit to score two runs… Don’t over swing!!!!
Cherry on top Alex
can’t walk him this time fucker
Prediction–first thing pedro does when he gets into the clubhouse is take a big wet stinky dump. he has that look on his face like he needs to. of course, i’d appreciate if he took a figurative such dump on this next pitch to a-rod (if he gets to throw it).
No pressure, A-Rod, but if you blow this, YOU’RE OUT OF THE FAMILY.
Once Yankees score 10 runs, I would just send Bruney for one pitch and drill some one..
Pedro had a look of fear in his eyes during that visit
make them pay!
I’d be concerned for Teix but with the lack of velocity on Pedro’s pitches I doubt he even felt it haha
a-rod HR @!
Com’on oh great majestic centaur!
i wonder if charlie manuel said the same thing grady little did in 2003. they do sound alike.
Comon Alex, that was a crappy first swing.
Shit, good pitch.
Daaaaaammit. Keep your weight back and drive that to right, Alex! No time to get pull happy!
Come on A-Rod!
Cmon A-Rod
Need a rbi here.
LETS GO AROD!!!!
Wow. Someone isn’t staying within himself again.
wowowow ALex is taking some good rips
Come on Alex. Tough with two, now.
dear a-rod–please stop trying to hit a 10 run home run.
yours,
me
C’mon A-Rod, we don’t need a HR, a single would be OK too
why is everyone swinging at this 80 mph slop up
Don’t strike out, just put solid wood on the ball…
A single is just fine, no need to swing for the fences….comon!
BULLSHIT.
WTF, that was OUTSIDE
Its a make up call for not calling the trapped ball by Victorino an out.
Fuck the umps. Replace them with robots with laser armor!!
WOW! Horrible call
Bullshit
whaaaat
That was outside.
Horse shit
/Centaur reference
That’s a terrible call. That ball was way outside.
hoooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiibbbbleee!!!! call horrible
Fuck Joe West.
Threading the needle? It was fucking away…..and out of the fucking zone.
there is no way thats a strike come on wtf unbelieveable
A little outside blue
OMFG, that must be the worst call in the history of the WS. Umps can’t take the Yankees winning.
Joe West took mercy on an old man. Weak shit.
WOW !!!
Why can’t it just be easy for once?! Jesus. The umps strike again.
Thanks Joe.
It’s a shame that Umps can blow calls so badly.
Meh. It wasn’t that outside. Alex should’ve put a defensive swing on that.
If they don’t score on this, it’s a pretty big momentum swing.
How can you thread the needle if the pitch is a foot outside? The thread doesn’t make it into the needle, McCarver.
fucking ump.
FUCK!!!! Cmon don’t miss driving the nail in this coffin!!!!!
it was in the fucking right handed batters box what a joke
lol no mention of how the pitch “looked like a ball”.
DAMNIT! Keep it fair Hideki
Argh, so close….
Bullshit.
http://tinyurl.com/ycqtmrv
Awful.
arrrrggghhhh!
Let’s go, Hidek!! Come on!
Thanks Joe West. You blind fat-ass motherfucker!
That hurts.
AWWWWWW MAN … that was a near base clearing double .
Not scoring here would be a big failure. He’s 1 strike away…
THANK YOU HIDEKI, THANK YOU!
cmon fellas more runs here
funny thing was i think that was a set up pitch to make alex look away and pedro got the strike.
what a bullshit strike 3 call on arod
wow this would suck if they don’t score.
HIDEKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Clutch!
THE RETURN OF GODZILLA
GODZILLLLLLA
Hit-Deki owns Pedro!

GODZILLA RAPES PEDRO!!!!!!!!!!!

Matsui is saying why no one talking about MVP for me?
Hideki = WS MVP?
Can’t say he hasn’t made the most of his opportunities
MATSUI!!
I guess we know who his daddy
God. We missed that bat in the lineup the past 3 games.
to ansky: i have to agree with you there
Posada keeps flailing away at that changeup. WIth bad results.
Damn it… Matsui has said “Charlespoet you have shown me no respect all season. You must now sit in disgrace the rest of the game.”
And here’s Jorge swinging at shit.
Hideki straight son’n Pedro!
