game. blouses.
bitches.
Godzilla for world series MVP???
hell fucking yes.
Wow, this is too good to be true right now. a Six running lead heading into the sixth
Hey, Phillies…tick, tock, tick, tock
THE ANTICIPATION. IT IS PALPABLE.
mint
why do you keep saying “mint”?
I’m getting my WS Champs cap + t-shirt after work tomorrow.
Hell to the fuckin’ YEAH. My 2000 Subway Series shirt is ridiculously faded and has tons of holes…time to get a new shirt!
Cano really sucks !!!!
You know, we will always remember Matsui especially for this 6+ RBI game he has going on tonight.
if this is his last game as a Yankee, there couldn’t be a better storybook ending.
It definitely is, no better way to end his tenure than to pound in 6+ runs to tie the WS record and to go home with a ring. He deserves every single bit of it and he is just amazing.
Holy shit I’m bouncing on my couch like a little kid. I’m still hanging on every fucking pitch.
Throw strikes Andy….You got this
man Robbie is praying this season ends tonight
joining hands with Cole Hamels after every game a la an NFL contest
Matsui is a pimp-ass pimp.
Reminds me of the Korean playa hater from the Player Hater’s Ball.
“You bitches better recognize!”
GODZILLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Andy is a Legend.
Let’s fuckin’ do this
on a side note…Joe and TMAC sound so depressed! I love it. I didnt just want to beat the Phillies I wanted to beat those 2 d-bags too!!!
Incidentally, not that it’s the time, but I’m going to be very disappointed if Matsui isn’t back next season.
He’s one year younger than Damon, and has a better bat. He should be brought back. I would take Damon for a year too. But if you have to have one, I think Matsui is it.
This is not the moment to make this decision because clearly our opinions will be deeply effected by what is going tonight. Yes, Matsui is the better bat. Yes, he is a year younger. But he will not play another game for us in the outfield. Damon gives us another year of defense at least. (Mediocre, but at least he can be adequate enough out there). If we don’t sign someone to play left, then I think we stick with Damon. If we sign someone to play left, then I think we go with Matsui.
can anyone find the picture from 03 or 04 when hideki slid into home and jumped in the air with a massive fist pump?
LETS GO!!!!!
You HAVE to bring this guy back….both of em, andy and matsui
+28
Money drop #1 by Buck.
Here comes the payroll reference
There goes Joe Buck on his halfhearted money rant.
Wait until Pujols leaves the Cardinals…
listening to the pod cast of Karros’s interview with Francessa today he just said that Pedro had the upper hand tonight against Andy. How did that work out Eric?
My mouth’s watering. It’s right there. So close
Argh, extended Joe Buck payroll discussion….
Is it really necessary to be talking about salaries in the middle of Game 6 when we’re on the brink of clinching?
Just enjoy it. If the other teams had 26 championships and played in the greatest city in the world they’d spend more money than everyone else too.
Andy should have his name legally changed to
Andy ‘on 3 days rest’ Pettitte
So wait Joe, is that your remaining defense? Talking about the salary?
oh look a passive jab at the payroll stay classy Joe
Hard to take in.
This is just awesome.
I still hate Joe Buck.

Did McCarver just say that Thompson was the ONLY MVP winner of the losing team in that World Series? How the hell did Pittsburgh even win the WS if another Yankee could have even been considered?
Walk off homer in Game 7 by Bill Mazeroski of the Pirates. The Yankees pounded the Pirates in that WS. All the games the Yanks won were blowouts. However, the Pirates won 4 close games, including Game 7.
Yeah, very famous series. That’s one any good Yankee fan should be familiar with.
Keep going Joe, the games not over yet, but it’s close
I read that Andy pitched in the clinching game for the AL East title, the ALDS clincher, the ALCS clincher and now this. When the Yanks win, that means he started and won (I think) EVERY clinching game this year. Does that count toward WS MVP votes?
No – and his Game 3 start was kind of a clunker (even though he won). So I’d say he has no chance to win the MVP.
I think Matsui may have locked it up after that last double.
No, but it will forever be burned into my memory.
Love the chant for Andy.
If Godzilla lathered up his head with a bottle of gel he would have hit 3 home runs today.
Is it Kosher to take a 5 minute shower as soon as the top of the 6th is over and maybe miss a batter or 2 when the yanks are up?
sick chants, that should give him a reason not to retire
Time for a free pass to Utley
can’t let utley beat reggie’s record
If Andy gets past the 6th, Joe should let him start the 7th so he can walk off in the middle of an inning instead of after it.
I’m surprised they haven’t talked about Beckett yet..it is already 6th inning..
Roll another one, Andy!
Fuck.
holy shit
wow he crushed that
oh shit!
arg
Meh. Might as well bring out the pen.
Howard got lucky.
Too little, too late, Ryan.
Matsui just did an his personal Bukakke scene on the Phillies tonight.
Too late.
Too little too late Howard.
Damnit. It’s OK though.
Shit
He is tired..get him out of there Joe
Dammit.
Start warming up Joba.
Dammit.
Start warming up Joba.
wow howard actually did something, i didn’t like his stupid walk after it though.
Alright fuck that, let’s shut them down NOW.
BANDBOX
Well done, Ryan Howard, you don’t look like a complete chump anymore.
That ball just carried.
MARIANO TO TEH 7TH!!!
9 OUT SAVE!!!!@
If it were Game 7, I’d do it.
If Mo gets into trouble, then what?
Comon Andy, don’t let them get any closer…
That sucked.
Ah, well. We’ll just have to get those back next inning.
Howard: On time FAIL!!!!
Fuckitall. I guess you can’t keep Howard down forever. Hairston looked completely lost out in left.
aight, we get out of this
we got this shit
Alright, Andy. Bear down. Keep it where it is. You’ve got this.
why would you throw howard a fastball? he can’t hit fastballs.
agh i mean breaking balls form lefties.
6.2 innings, 3ERs.
Beautiful.
Agh, reply fail strikes again!
Nice power the other way by Howard.
Arrrrgh come on
Gotta believe Ibanez is Andy’s last batter.
Very nice comeback for Andy!
89 pitches, I’d pull Andy soon.
IIRC, I think he hasn’t fully rested between starts, but I’m not sure about that.
Ryan Howard has joined the World Series, about 5.5 games too late.
Kee-rhist…..Howard walked like he hit the ball out of the stadium. What at an ass.
Perfect pitch.
That was a stat-padding HR BTW
so what should howard do there to try and mount a come back with 4 innings left?
Andy with the bounce back.
I’m luvin it!!
If Pettitte goes 6 IP of 3 run ball, gotta sign up for that considering the circumstances.
i thought “smart” veteran pitchers don’t walk guys… i can live with solo homers. big deal.
if utely and howard hit solo homers back to back. fine.
but walking a guy in front of howard? dumb.
Joba time?
agh comme on
Cmon Joba. One more.
Great job Andy! A lot more than what we could have hoped for.
great job on short rest Andy
*applause*
See you next year, Andy.
We love you, Andy. No matter what, we love you.
seems like a million years ago andy beat smoltz 1-0
he’s a warrior
Good pitch, just the batter beating him.
Thank you, Andy.
Great job Andy! Time for Joba to erase that last memory vs. Feliz.
Joe West finally has his impact on the game by handing that walk to Utley.
It is unbelievable what Andy did tonight on 3 days rest with an absolutely minuscule strike zone.
Great start by Andy tonight. You couldn’t have asked for anything more.
Now the bullpen has to shut it down. 1 1/3 innings until Mo comes in.
Plus the offense is still hitting, so my confidence level is +100
Oh well to bad Andy couldn’t make it out of the 6th, lets go Chamberlain.
Thanks for the Great start Andy.
Remember when Charlie Manuel said Andy was just like any other aging pitcher?…yeah, those were good times.
