How can anyone even remotely question going to Mo here? Who cares if it is a 4 run lead. If it was a 10 run lead I would still want Mo in there to close the door.
Anybody think that Mo is really an immortal like in the Highlander? I swear he’s going to show up some time in 2056 looking the same and throwing the same unhittable cut fastball that he does at age 40.
Reactions to final out:
McCarver: “the yankees did it the same way they’ve done it all year: pettitte, jeter, and of course mariano. [long pause]. and also matsui.”
Buck: “And after a brutal, miserable, long six games, the world series mercifully comes to a conclusion, as the nation collectively sighs as it can finally switch back over to football.”
Sterling: “[normal theeee yankees win thing] And you know suzyn, it’s only fitting that the game be saved by mariano rivera, and won by andy pettitte.”
Kruk: “Phillies in 9.”
A lot. We’ll hear about how spending ruins the game, how the Yankees are cheaters, A-Rod stories, Teix stories, TO TEH PEN stories, and the stories where Bay and Holliday HAVE to be signed and the necessity of trading for Halladay.
i have to say, as a pats fan, that if there had been any acceptable way for that (admit it) ridiculously dominant team to go down in the superbowl, it would have been on a play like that. i was jumping out of my seat. best play i’ve ever seen in sports.
you just know their post game banter is going to be a disaster. I’m sure they’ll talk about how Pedro gave it his all and how the Phils had a great season making back to the WS. “Oh, and btw the Yankees win the World Series. Catch the NFL on FOX. Goodnight.”
thank you RAB for the awesome coverage, I’ve probably never posted more than a few times but I follow the posts here every day. words can’t describe how hard my nipples are right now.
A brutal Phillies loss like this will probably drive John Kruk to do something regrettably stupid, like, for example, have sex with an ugly fat hosebeast of an intern. Not that I’d know anything about that.
i dont know if its my emotions or booze or both. But I moved to ATL from NYC last year and miss the Yanks and the city. But it has been an absolute pleasure and honor to watch these games with you guys. I feel like I’m back home! You all are the balls!
Enjoying this shit down in the Keys.
Mo time bitches.
5 outs! LETS DO IT.
I know it was just a few seconds, but seeing Mo run in to “Enter Sandman” got me up on my feet.
Me too. I wish FOX had kept it on for longer. Grrr.
Here comes Mo to rock the Phils to sleep.
5 outs away!
By the power of Mo, we shall celebrate!
Nary a mention of Howard’s dubious record.
5 outs away.
here comes the Lord.
I love this fucking team.
Mo is in, congrats to the Yankees for winning the 2009 WS!!
How can Fox go to commercial when MO is entering the game?
Fox, Caray, Buck, McCarver and Umpires will not be missed when this shit is over.
6 fuckin pitches only for 2 Ks!
How you guys doing???? (just got home!)
Congratulations to Ryan Howard for owning a WS record..1st place by himself..13 strikeouts.
i bet mo doesn’t even like that song… heh.
Where did the 1-1 miss?!
Anything McCarver says that is not force-fed to him through his earpiece is utter garbage.
Strike 2! Oh wait. The Phillies are up. Ball.
Holy crap that video fired me up
4 outs
Have a seat, good sir.
Sit the F down.
Awesome video post!!!
Just DLed it!!
Watching this will keep me warm in the cold baseball-less nights of January and February…
Boom!
Werth was so over matched it wasn’t funny
IN COMES THE HAMMER OF GOD. GAME OVER. SERIES OVER
FOUR LEFT!
4 outs to go.
The D-BAG has been retired.
4 fucking more…..I can gaurantee my neighbors are wide awake now
Rain? Whatevs.
This is awesome
How appropriate is it that the best closer in history finishes all four of our wins?
Mo bringin the rain to wash the Phillies from our stadium.
How the fuck did the Phillies win 2 games?
Crowd is amazing.
Yeah, they finally got enough liquor in them to wake up.
Why did they replay a ball in the other batters box?
I beg to differ Mccarver…Damon breaks more bats. THEN God
When is J-Roll up? I’d sure like to see him solve Rivera again in the 9th
I hope Ibanez chokes on his tobacco.
Goosebumps, anyone?
big time buddy big time
damnit ibanez enough!
ibanez having a good AB
Cole Hamels is asking for the ball at this very moment. He’s finally inspired!
Come on, Mo. Get rid of this alien looking fuck.
Great at-bat by Raul.
goddamn ibanez
Give it up, Raul.
He’s just barely getting to those pitches outside.
How can anyone even remotely question going to Mo here? Who cares if it is a 4 run lead. If it was a 10 run lead I would still want Mo in there to close the door.
Ummm Gardner WTF?
Anybody think that Mo is really an immortal like in the Highlander? I swear he’s going to show up some time in 2056 looking the same and throwing the same unhittable cut fastball that he does at age 40.
What was that Gardner
WTF, why was Gardner playing so shallow?!
Fuckin’ a.
Gardner seemed a bit shallow on that, no?
Shallow doesn’t begin to describe it. Luckily Mo is pitching so no problema.
Full credit to Ibanez. That was the best AB off Mo I’ve seen in years.
fuckin ibanez
hell of an AB by ibanez
Nice AB. Tip of the cap.
Why was Gardy playing so shallow?
man, Gardner has been a mess tonight.
Brett, having a nice game all around.
why is gardner playing so shallow?
Ummmm…why was Gardner playing so shallow with a 4-run lead?
Gardner is really having a shitty night.
Hmmm Gardner was playing pretty shallow there for a good hitter.
Huh. That ball took off. It didn’t look like he hit it that hard.
Aww shit. Ibanez friggin battled on that one.
Where the f is Gardner playing? Did he forget that Ibanez is a power hitter?
Good, now Rollins will be the last out
Gardner is fucking terrible, he’s not even good at defense.
The outfield wall in Philly begs to differ.
Holy fuck let’s just disregard ever stat that completely says the opposite. The play was Ellsburyish sure but he doens’t do that everyday.
Why was Gardner so shallow?
we miss Leche
Why was Gardner playing so shallow?
come on mo!
Why the hell were they playing so shallow?

Kruk: “Phillies in 9.”
IETC.
Why is he pitching Feliz in?
3 outs
Wow that was a great AB.
What the fuck is Gardner doing?
Guys. Remember. Hitters get more cheap, broken bat bloop hits against Mo than they do solid doubles so ease up on Gardner.
3 to go…
3 Mo!
Three away.
THREE OUTS TO GO !
THREE.
MORE.
OUTS.
THREE OUTS AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s what I wanted to see. 3 more.
IT’S ALMOST TIME, BABY!!!
http://twitpic.com/o9tgu/full
My Mo that Rex is a big boy.
(farts)
Fuck yeah!
I’ll pay for the steaks and blowjobs, you arrange the hookers.
I thought you guys were comping us the hookers?
You know, the “side business”.
That’s fine, as long as we can go shoot some guns afterwards.
LETS SHOOT GUNS AND PUNCHFUCK STRIPPERS
3 more
So, who is the MVP??
Is it considered a sin to make Mo work more then he should?
Only on Sundays.
i am sooo hyper right now…. 27 27 27 27 27 27
3 more baby….Mos’s gotta get em 1-2-3 in the 9th so Rollins makes last out
Rivera is just like any other pitcher.
+27
3 more outs.
Three outs away, my friends.
STAY THIRSTY.
Ibanez just delays the inevitable.
Also, I sure am glad the Phils have solved Mo. He’s just like any other closer/eternal being.
is this actually happening right now? are we really 3 outs from winning the world series? in the first year at ys3? with mo on the mound?
Not only was Gardner playing unbelievably shallow, but he managed to misplay the ball multiple times on one fly.
I’m kind of impressed, actually.
Haha.
LET THE CORONATION BEGIN!!
mint
This is it
In Mo we trust…
I wonder how Mike Mussina feels about all of this?
And will Mattingly send him a card?
fuck yes. three to go
I just want to take this time to say , I love every one of you, hell, I love everybody….I am the HAPPIEST MAN IN THE WORLD
I’m going to start spreadin’ the news to my roommates and neighbors and anyone I see walking down my block.
I love you all
I love the world now that order is about to be restored.
Paul O’Neill theory. Kinda impressive theory.
I wonder how many times we’ll hear how bug the Yankees payroll is.
big*
ALMOST AS BIG AS OUR BIG TROPHIES, BIG RINGS, AND BIG COCKS
Ahem?
CAN’T COMPARE TO THE BIG NIPPLES.
Riddering, you are so awesome.
A lot.
FUCK EM
A lot. We’ll hear about how spending ruins the game, how the Yankees are cheaters, A-Rod stories, Teix stories, TO TEH PEN stories, and the stories where Bay and Holliday HAVE to be signed and the necessity of trading for Halladay.
But it’s all worth it.
do we really have to bat? i don’t feel like it
Manuel should bring in Hamels, just to stick it to him.
Swisher, is that a batting glove in your pocket, or are you just happy to win a World Fucking Series?
Oh, both? Great!
What a great moment!!
How sweet it is I am living in Philly during this moment.
How is Detroit these days?
RUB THAT SHIT IN THEIR CHEESESTEAK EATING FACES
As sweet as it is to be in UMass. These fuckers have had it coming for a loooooooooooong time.
That was pretty good
What a play by Feliz. Stud defender.
Stud defender, noodle bat.
Holy shit does that guy play a good 3B.
If he didn’t chew tobacco he would’a beat that one out!
Pad those good fielding plays cuz THATS ALL YOU GOT!
that was fucking sick
nice play..who cares.
Hot damn, what a play.
Wow what a play by Feliz
/brosius/d
Feliz is awesome at third.
Buck and McCarver trying to find whatever comfort is left.
I want to thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee fan
Buck needed something to get excited about.
Buck just hates NY. I remember him calling that catch by David Tyree in the SB as if it was a routine catch.
i have to say, as a pats fan, that if there had been any acceptable way for that (admit it) ridiculously dominant team to go down in the superbowl, it would have been on a play like that. i was jumping out of my seat. best play i’ve ever seen in sports.
Lovely play but pffft.
Wow. If I have gained respect for any Phillies player this series (other than Utley), it’s Feliz…no bat, but they guy can filed his position.
It sounds like Joe Buck’s mother just died. He sounds a little sad.
you just know their post game banter is going to be a disaster. I’m sure they’ll talk about how Pedro gave it his all and how the Phils had a great season making back to the WS. “Oh, and btw the Yankees win the World Series. Catch the NFL on FOX. Goodnight.”
I wonder if Gardner will at least swing at the ball this AB.
Joe West is terrible.
Just turrible.
/Drunk Driver’d
Charles Barkley’d
Brett wouldn’t do any worse at the plate if he was blind and deaf.
/Helen Keller’d
But we’re New York so everything is bigger here and counts more.
Gardner is amazing and by amazing I mean terrible
Thank you everyone at RAB for a fantastic resource. Great job!!!!!!!
That Damon/Melky shot was weird.
Gardner: “I STILL STANDIN’, MANG!”
I swear Gardner really flies.
I’m not kidding when I say he needs the Willie Mays Hayes treatment.
Wow…did Gardner just make contact?
gardner almost beat that out lmfao
How fucking AWESOME would it be for Jimmy Rollins to make the last out??
That’s what I was thinking. Mo had to let at least one person reach base.
No. It’s San Francisco Treat (probably Matt “Gorman Thomas” Stairs), Carlos “I’ve got more roids in me than Barry Bonds ever did” Ruiz and…..Rollins.
i would jjust like to say:
SUCK A DICK, JIMMY ROLLINS.
Well, at least Gardy took the bat off his shoulder that time.
First time he didn’t embarrass himself tonight.
What is that music they play in the background for that moment of the game?
OH my MO , Charlie. We are ready to celebrate
Hey, look at that, Gardner made contact.
WOW was that close at first base.
Phillies sink back into obscurity for another 50 years
Jimmy Rollins MUST be the last out.
Phillies in 5? HAHA!
At least give the Yanks some respect.
Please, Rollins for out #27
thank you RAB for the awesome coverage, I’ve probably never posted more than a few times but I follow the posts here every day. words can’t describe how hard my nipples are right now.
words can’t describe how hard my nipples are right now.
/Costas’d
My toupee doubles as a pair of panties.
/Marv’d
well, there you go
I was not expecting that last sentence.
it just goes to show, you can’t predict baseball.
don’t even have to “/d” it/d
words can’t describe how hard my nipples are right now.
TMI bro
hah. tampa. i live in sarasota.
LOL, that last line came out of nowhere.
had to throw it out there.
Wow, I just totally forgot Jeter still had to bat.
padding his stats…..totally unclutch hit there.
i want everyone in the lineup to now hit a hr, in consecutive order, just to shove it down their throats.
a single to right is NOT acceptable derek
/Jeterian
Yeah Jeets.
Downright Jeterian!
Beautiful
look at Jetes stat-padding!
AROD’d
He’s says “most ever” like “big deal”
Jeter is my favorite player and I appreciate his hits, but lets get to Mo.
Will this be Hairston’s True Yankee moment?
Part of me wants to start running and slamming myself off hotel room walls just to calm down for the 9th.
Jeterian
I’m sorry if this is an ignorant question, but who decideds who should be the MVP?
We did this shit with 2/3rds of our outfield injured. I’m on the cardiac arrest, shawtay!
They’re chanting 27
When I finally realized that…man. It’s nice and warm here at home but what would I do to be there at NYS.
/craigslist’d
Yup, same here!
27! *clap clap clapclapclap*
Its fitting that Jeter would have the last hit of the season for the Yankees after breaking Gehrig’s all time hit record.
wow fast
Alright, three more outs, Mo.
Here we gooooooo.
Three. More. Outs.
THIS IS IT!!
so will Girardi change his number next season?
I vote for no.
Tacky, overkillish, and he’ll likely run out of available numbers soon.
Is it wrong that I don’t even care about the Yankees batting.. Just want the three outs and to hear Sterlng spazzzzzzzz out.
I’m as hard as a diamond in an ice storm right now.
/RickyBobby’d
+10000
well said!!!!!!
Where the fuck have you been – Looking for AG and Lanny?
I had class. I was here in spirit, though, and monitoring the events all along.
Mr. TSJC sir, you have a massive erection!
/another Ferrell movie
DON’T ACT LIKE YOU’RE NOT IMPRESSED
Anchorman?
Wow, Rollins contributes.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET ROLLINS BE THE LAST OUT!
Closing my computer, I’ll be back.
TWENTY SEVEN!!!! Joe Girardi: what number would you like next year?
There better be baseball tonight. I need Kruk’s reaction. And all of ESPN cutting their wrists.
ESPN Belated Halloween edition…blood and everything.
oh man oh man oh man oh man
man this is fucking awesome
3 more outs
In Mo we trust!
Must…play…Modern Warfare 2…
That was the best commercial of the playoffs.
Let’s finish ‘em off Mo. This has been the best Yankees season since 1998! I’ll never forget 2009.
They better have paramedics around for Sterling when this bad boy ends. I don’t know if he can take it.
we talk shit about players choking, but I cant feel my feet im so nervous….and a little drunk
MVP is difficult
Jeter
Mo
Matsui
No one else comes close in my mind
But can you really give it to Mo? Three of the outings were with 3 run leads or more
Matsui? 12 AB’s only?
How about CC, Pettite and Damon?
girardi.
They’re all MVPs
Indeed!
Can you smell that
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG…
I hope the Yankees thank their son for helping them in bringing #27 home tonight.
I’m shaking…i can barely type
58 Year old Stairs? Taske him down, Mo.
The irony that a man of his girth is named “Stairs”
Stairs should do a sit up or 100.
A brutal Phillies loss like this will probably drive John Kruk to do something regrettably stupid, like, for example, have sex with an ugly fat hosebeast of an intern. Not that I’d know anything about that.
Sincerely,
Steve Phillips
IETC
I LOVE YOU MAN
That is just awesome!
ietcvm
Bring us home Mo. Bring us home.
/Zion’d
Come on Mo.
i dont know if its my emotions or booze or both. But I moved to ATL from NYC last year and miss the Yanks and the city. But it has been an absolute pleasure and honor to watch these games with you guys. I feel like I’m back home! You all are the balls!
and the Vitamins!
2 MO!
2 more!
2 to go.
yesyesyesyesyesyes
TWO MORE!!!
Perspective. My son was 3.5 the last time the Yankees won. He’ll be 13 in February.
Kruk’s head will explode momentarily.
Phillies Dynasty my ass.
Stairs is happy that was caught. He only had to run a third of the way.
2 more
Would someone contact Fatcesa and ask him if Girardi should be fired before or after the parade for pitching AP on three days rest.
Two more Mo, I’ve been waiting for this for 9 years.
2more…cant breathe!!!
The players are restless too, LOL!
rookies
damn Buck sounds really bad. suicide watch?
Which reminds me…Where the fuck is Tim McCarver? Is he already dead?
country fat Joe
Cmon West! Do you want the game to go on longer???
PUSS-Y TUB-ING!
(clap clap clap-clap-clap)
PUSS-Y TUB-ING!
(clap clap clap-clap-clap)
hilarious, im gonna miss this
Why would you miss it? We’re never gonna stop doing it, baby.
Guys, its been a beautiful 178 games…
BUT WE ARE THE CHAMPS!!!!!!!
i know it’s a bit early, but seriously now.
MO gets those calls. C’mon Blue
West is a fat bastard.
fuckin ruiz again.
DP would be the TITS.
DOUBLE PLAY!!
LOL…You see that smile Rivera gave West? You know he was thinking, “You fat ass hombre.”
A walk? Wow.
GIDP! GIDP!
GISP, GIDP, GIDP!!!
Now, throw a changeup!
WTF dont fucking squeeze mo!!!
1 MORE BABY
1 MO!

1more f**kin out
MO does not sweat your ridiculous strike zone West!
Sorry Jimmy.
JRoll is getting closer. That one was out of the infield. Maybe next year!
ONE MORE TO GO.
little scary there.
Is the fat lady/Kruk singing yet?
Joe Buck wanted that ball to leave the yard so bad.
1 MORE
Mo has lost all his command.
/Brazillian Yankee’d
Heh.
THIS SHIT IS PATHETIC WHAT THE FUCK MO STOP SUCKING
You got lucky Rollins. But still HAHAHAHA! Phillies in 5. Pfft.
Man. Did Joey B. want that to get out or what??
FREAKING HILARIOUS!
ONE TO GO BABY!!!!!!
