Just 5 days 'til pitchers and catchers report.Banner Design By
damon didnt look good running there. hammy?
Hope not, we are running out of players…
Is it possible that Matsui wins WS MVP?
If it’s not Mo, I’ll be very surprised.
especially if Mo gets 4+ outs tonight he will have earned it.
The way this game is going, he likely won’t pitch. I can’t see him winning WS MVP with less than 4 IP.
I don’t think so, they’ll probably still give it to Utley or some shit.
Oh ya.
that would be amazing.
Let the Yankees win first, but yea he’s 7/11 with 3 HRs and 6 RBI so far
Matsui is having a career game! He is Utleyesque.
I haven’t seen such an Utleyesque performance since Reggie Jackson in 1976!
Now just start mowing them down Andy!
How long do they stick with petey?
I could see them bringing in Happ to start next inning, rather than wait until there are men on base.
If he comes in next inning they may as well have used him against Hideki. Imagine NY talk radio (or here) if, say, Girardi had left AJ in to face Utley with the bases loaded. Manuel = not a genius.
Imagine how many they would’ve scored if the ump didn’t f’ over Arod.
18 outs away folks. 18 away. John Sterling is right. Godzilla for mayor.
Domo arigato, Mr. Matsui
12 to Mo.
Please for the love of Mo make it a quick inning.
Godzilla just made himself some straight cash homie!
man he owns pedro! that was hot.
Indeed. I think we have answered the question of who Pedro’s father is.
I WANT TO KILL JOE WEST….and Im a peace loving man
NICE!!!!!!
Down goes Damon….fuck.
If not for the bad call. We might have had more runs there.
We’ve had decently shitty luck tonight. It’s gonna turn our way
I don’t think our luck with umpires will change. Joe West is a man on a mission to force game 7.
sorry to say i saw that with damon.
Fuck. Hope Damon is OK
Fuck Damon’s out
Aw crap.
Ruh Oh. Damon’s out
That could be huge.
Goddammit Johnny…
OMG!!!!! Damon is out
Hideki eats nails for breakfast.
Without the milk.
Ugh oh, Johnny…
Tonight’s game
Matsui: Give me Damon’s job.
Damon: I’m old.
If Hideki could play the field, this decision is almost a no brainer…
Oh, motherfu-
damnit
Oh shit re: Damon.
LET’S RALLY AROUND OUR LOST OUTFIELDER, YANKEES!
that sucks.
Jerry Hairston: Early Inning Defensive Replacement?
any reason why we can’t resign damon and matsui?
no. i wouldnt mind if it is 1 yr each. 8 mil each.
WOW. JD is gone!
No more table-setter.
Now Damon is out… crap, he was starting to get hot.
That was some good ole country shit that Jow West pulled… not only did he botch the call.. he removed themask to reveal his 20 pound face and threatened to throw Alex out… assh$$e
Tough loss of a bat. Hairston in the two hole inspiring fear in the hearts of pitchers everywhere.
Blood Pressure +350
Damon..fuck!
This game is now a must win with no outfield for game 7.
Lose a lot of offense, gain a lot on defense
Don’t you think that Damon going down deserves more than a dismissive note by Buck? Maybe a replay or something?
Maybe they should think about not playing these games in November
Hariston has to come through at the plate.
Well, on the bright side, we have a nice arm in LF now.
true
hairston batting 2nd is nice.
I think I would have yanked Pedro before letting him try Hideki again – guess ol’Charlie didn’t want to burn Happ so early?
And whether they go to instant replay or not Jimmie Lee Solomon and the other hacks who run MLB’s ops office should be run out of town on a rail for saddling us with this crew of self-important, blowhard, incompetent fat asses as umps. I didn’t think it could get worse but they’ve managed to sink further every damn game. Joe West is Eric Gregg-esque tonight.
at least Gregg was a nice guy
pulled calf crap our OF is dropping like flies
johnny
Nice pitch!
Utley K!!!!
Way to fuckin’ be, Andy!
See ‘ya Utley !
So far so good for Andy!!!
Andy……… YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BOIIIIIIIIIIII!!!
Manuel has to bring Pedro back. We are not quite done messing him up.
and they have to boo him off the mound in shame
He got Utley too … chase!!!
Hah. DUCWIDT?
my roflcopter it goes soi soi soi soi
is that some sore of fucking play on words?!?!
Utley strike out? That’s unpossible!
Utley has been killing the Yankees..
Mark Grace – I think they will be happy pitching around him…. Nice call douche!
Pedro Jaime Matsui..
They should hang Johnny’s jersey in the dugout.
Next to Cabrera’s.
next to wang’s
nady anyone?
Next to Nady’s.
next to Nady’s
Heaven needed a patient-hitting outfielder with a noodle arm.
Hey look, Utley down AGAIN!
The “Hungry Spot” in Karuizawa, Japan, is rocking!! MATSUI!!!!!!!
awesome! keep the reports coming
Ryan Howard is on fire tonight…. well just cuz he hasn’t struck out.
Somewhere Willie Wilson is cutting the head off a live chicken putting a hex on Howard so he will take over the record.
lol
i was thinking about willie as well
he’s like: it’s been 30 years!!!
Too bad Damon isnt as gritty as Victorino…that guy’s playing with one hand!
Andy looks good. Hold it together for 10-12 more outs please.
No problem pitching around Werth.
And that’s a ball? Joe West is really good.
Not happy with Jorge’s framing of pitches… he snatched at that 3rd pitch down the middle to Werth.
Called that a strike on A-Rod, blue. How abouts a little consistency?
Well, they do consistently suck. I guess that’s something.
wasnt that same pitch a strike to AROD?
hey douche bag can we get the same fucking strikezone you country singing hack
Two of those pitches were closer than the third strike call on Arod
My roommate and I call Jayson Werth ‘Nickelback’. Anyone else have the same feeling?
I hope some of the Yanks have the balls to call out Jow F**kin west once the series is over… what a BS call and to have the haughtiness to threaten a hook
Great. That was practically the exact same spot that West rung up A-Rod on. Even my wife is incredulous.
Joe West is irritating me.
Joe West doesn’t want to call strikes I guess
If Andy wins tonight, he goes right up there with the all time Yankee legends. What a clutch performer.
Andy is getting seriously pinched right here.
OH FUCK YOU JOE WEST!
Where the fuck are this pitches missing?
Hint: They’re not
The Joes (Buck and West) want the Phillies to win I guess
this is getting ridiculous that was right down the middle
Joe West is squeezing the shit out of him.
WHAT THE FUCK?!??!
So where did the last three pitches miss?
ump Joe West’s ass.
Where is this strike zone?? Fucking Joe West!
Come on Andy, get it over so we can hit.
What the fuck is Joe West doing? Those 2 pitches to Ibanez were strikes.
What is it with Posada missing balls with Werth on base?
I really fucking hate the umps this series.
Come on Andy, get this dude out immediately.
posada cant stop anything behind the plate
posada cant stop anything behind the plate
Jorge is an excellent defensive catcher. Maybe the best in the league.
/sarcasm’d
what is butcher in Spanish ??? LOL
Does Andy have to walk the bases loaded to get a strike call? Ugh.
Posada sucks so bad. There should be a designated catcher (Molino) and keep Posada just for his bat.
come on andy throw some strikes
Dammit Andy, throw some strikes! You got 2 outs…
Posada should look into getting a bigger mitt.
And Buck is working himself into a nice chubby here hoping Ibanez hits one out.
I just got a feeling of deja vu on that play.
Jorge passed ball, Werth advances.
Where have I seen that before?
3 run lead…make them earn it.
Dude, umpires suck ass.
Cmon Andy
Fucking kidding me with this strike zone
DAMNIT! COME ON ANDY
Joe West refuses to call a strike now.
I can live with that BB, considering Feliz is up
Settle Andy, you got this. Nice little grounder here…
Who knows how to make one of them “strikes called balls” pitchfx charts? This is killing me.
Fuck you Joe West you fucking cheating cock I hope you choke.
UMMM WTF?
C’mon Andy…
What the fuck was that.
WTF?!?!
Squeeze.
OMG, even Joe Buck said he’s being squeezed…
so clearly nothing is called a strike now wtf even Buck mentions it
Is there a strike zone anymore?
what the fuck is wrong with Joe west
where are these fucking pitches?
This is incredible.
Too middely.
Open your fucking eyes JOE!
Now why couldn’t Jorge miss a high pitch, and clock Joe West in the head?
The umpires don’t even matter, this team is on a mission to win. They will find a way.
Whoa, you mean the ump can call strikes too?
Why is Joe West the home plate umpire?
Why is Joe West an umpire?
Why is Joe West even alive and breathing?
Why is Joe West?
/pedantic
ONE MORE STRIKE, DO IT
On Your FEET!!!!
Joe West you GD bastard … how many more pitches will you end up squeezing Andy on?
This is the worst strike zone i have seen in a LONG time
When did the Phillies sign Joe West?
Nice bring back of the Fox box for the pitch right down the middle.
wtf Joe West?!?
Didnt a-rod get called out on that ???
I swear. Joe West sucks ass.
F*ck you WHALE!
chicken and cowwww??????
So Andy’s now struck out Feliz twice in this at bat? Thanks Joe West.
I mean should have, if we’re getting the same zone.
Order has been restored.
Whew, one more inning down. 5 to go!
Thanks Joe West for making Andy work.
9 to Mo
Woo, atta boy Andy.
Fuck Joe West.
fuck you Joe West
9 more outs until Sandman.
Andy>>>>Umpires
Andy shuts down Joe West.
Andy’s going over to have a talk with West. Slap his 8th chin Andy.
That ball for ball 3 was closer to the plate than the called strike 3 on A-Rod!
Strike zone for Andy: middle of the plate, belt-high.
I want the same fucking zone now Joe West, you fat piece
HUGE props to Andy for surviving that insane strike zone unscathed.
I’d like to Windows HER 7.
good job andy
we now know how andy tips his pitches
he simply says out loud what he’s about to throw
joe west sucks ass
Good job Andy.
Apparently Andy has to throw it into a Dixie cup to get a call and Pedro’s zone is the ass end of a U Haul trailer.
I’m not one to bitch about umps but that inning was the definition of an inconsistent strike zone.
Hilarious.
ESPN has gotten to Joe West. They probably offered him a job as John Kruk’s stunt double.
IETC
Andy getting on West’s face. I like it.
Joe West sucks balls, and we’re still beating Pedro with a smaller strike zone.
ACK! A strike???
Whoa, they left Pedro in?
/giftwrapped’d
Joe West’s strike zone is as flabby as that chin
which one? the top one? the bottom one? or the 3 stuck in between the top and the bottom ones?
Time to pick it up for JD, Robbie.
Now Pedro is going to get strikes on the other batter’s box.
Isn’t the Phillies’ plan to make Pettitte work?
You mean Joe West doesn’t play for the Phillies?
Well then, I’m speechless.
Hilarious random note: “The Fan,” the 96 DeNiro-Snipes movie, was playing on Korean cable last night, and John Kruk, long-haired version, plays one of the Giants. And he, like, acts a few times.
I swear to you, if you thought his BBTN analysis was bad, wait till you’ve seen him “act.”
Strike one to Cano is one of the worst calls I’ve ever seen.
The Hungry Spot is seriously grumbling about the strike zone. That was ridiculous. I’m learning how to say, “That ump is fucking blind!”, in Japanese.
+55
wtf. why didnt you just hold up a sign Andy
I just have one thing to say and one thing only:
Fuck Joe West. We’re poppin’ champagne anyway!
+1
No luck for Cano tonight.
No luck for Robbie.
Man Robbie, find a hole/gap!
Jesus Christ Cano cannot catch a goddamn break.
Cano’s having bad luck with his balls tonight.
Perhaps you would know… personally?
http://www.hiyooo.com
I mean, http://www.hiyoooo.com.
http://www.sadtrombone.com
Ben Francisco is a much better outfielder than Ibanez
In other news, Mark Teixeira is kind of a better defender than Jason Giambi.
Really? I haven’t noticed at all. I thought you were supposed to let the balls roll to the dugout.
Cano does have some shitty luck this ws
Poor Cano can’t buy a break.
How many times must we get unlucky? Feel sorry for Robbie
I can’t believe martinez is still in. Charlie Manuel must really have no faith in his pen
Ugh, Swish. Seriously?
BABIP is a bitch sometimes
Gardner looks awful hitting out there. Vs. Pedro no less.
Gardner, it’s Swisher up there.
Yep. Completely spazzed out for a moment there.
Until he ripped that last fb right at utley.
Is there a reason why Bloomberg won’t man up and wear a Yankees hat?
Afraid to lose the Mets fan base for that upcoming 4th term.
Because he’s originally from Boston?…
YES!
Dammit, Swisher why chasing?!
What an ugly swing…
Yeah, Buck, no one is impressed by Pedro’s strikeouts.
Damn Swisher. You just chased ball 4.
Why the swings at eye level pitches?
Because they may be called strikes?
5 hard hit outs for Yanks. Phillies have a fluky triple that led to a run. The ump is killing the Yanks. And we’re winning.
swish should try wiffle ball…his swing is perfect
note to the Yankees the ball at your eyes is not a fucking strike
C’mon Brett.
Inside the park home run.
Joe Buck likes role reversal.
OMFG how much more bad luck can we have!
Wow, Gardner actually made solid contact.
ANOTHER bad break
Chase Utley is death to BABIP luck.
And that’s one line drive Gardner will hit all series.
Bad luck
Okay. Back to the top next inning. Get another quick 3 Andy.
ive never seen so many hard hit balls caught in 4 innings.
Bottom of the lineup is useless.
Robbie and Cano had good rips with nothing to show for it
Brett my b
I guess pedro is not done yet
Hey, even Gardner smoked a ball with bad luck!
psyched that jeter’s dad got a show on fox
ouch
…….
That 1-2-3 inning might turn out to be a good thing,it may trick Manuel into thinking he can stick with Pedro for one more…
If we get anything going next inning, there’s no way Pedro faces Matsui.
Yanks have been hitting the ball HARD off Pedro since the first inning. Breaks will come.
BABIP is not a Yankee fan.
ok Andy-no walks. Is it time to listen to Joe Buck and the pitch count? I hate that
lets just bat 6 guys for rest of game and take 3 outs every 3rd inning
poor brett and cano. Finally have some good swings and get nothing.
Hope Andy keeps it together this inning.. Joe Fat West is on a support-philly mood… f**kers zone for Pedro is bigfer than his gut and squeezing Andy like shit
Jeter-Hairston-Tex due up. Anyone gets on, we see Alex and Matsui.
At 77 pitches, I bet Pedro goes out for the 5th, but won’t face Matsui again unless it’s the 6th and there’s nobody on base.
Very nice, Andy!
I’m amazed at how good he’s been tonight.
Did you know he’s on teh short rest?
Oh my god, what?
Girardi needs to pull him now. His arm’s about to fall off.
Where was that Fat Joe…
It looks like Pedro is done…too bad.
Goddamn Joe West, that pitch to Ruiz was strike 1. Fucking assturd.
That’s it, we need robots!
West is a joke of an umpire.
But a mighty fine country singer
http://www.cowboyjoewest.com/
Ughhh.
Another walk…sheesh.
Andy for 6, then Joba/Marte and Mariano?
I’d sign up for that
+1
Cmon Andy. Get a DP.
my god walking ruiz is brutal.
Joe West wasn’t any help
He only walked him in Joe West world. With a real strike zone that’s a K. Bullshit zone tonight.
Let’s go, Andy. Roll one, buddy.
Mark Valley is gonna get his own show?? WTF. I’d like to see some new original programming instead of reality show retreads , but Mark Valley ?? Fox scraping the bottom right there.
Come on, Andy!
C’mon Andy…
Come on Andy get it together.
Cano is awesome at turning DPs.
5-4-3, baby!
YEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS! Double fuckin play!
YES! Suck on that, Jimmy!
Nice, DP. Inning over.
2 MORE TO MARIANO
Pitcher’s best friend right there. Thanks Jimmy.
DP !!!!
andy!!! sit down, jimmy
Andy Pettitte is the balls.
Nice turn boys
yes andy!
I just made a mess in my panties.
LET’S GO ANDY!
Whoa
Boom baby. Three days Rest Andy > Any days rest Gaudin
YEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!
big outs!
sweet!
DP!!! Yes!
Whatever he’s not doing at bat, Cano still turns a great pivot.
That was big.
My name is Andrew Pettitte and God is on my side. “All due respect Mr. McCarver, God agrees with the general population, you are don’t know shit and need to resign from broadcasting, lest you be judged.”
