Spring Training Countdown
Just 5 days 'til pitchers and catchers report.Banner Design By
Marrte to start the 8th? or straight to Mo?
Start him off the inning. Howard is crap against LHP.
Yeah Damaso!
Marte..a true Yankee //wfan’d
Just great!
Fuckin’ love it, Damaso.
Milk was a bad choice.
Damaso Marte = Graeme Lloyd
That was easy.
Marte has been money this series. Who would’ve predicted he’d be our second most valuable reliever in the WS?
Marte just made Reggie Jackson’s day.
and Slappy White’s
Given that the score will be 11-3 going into the 8th, I’d go with Marte for one out, Phil for 2 and then the Almighty.
Agree
That was the Phillies last real threat
Yes.
Wow. Great work.
Oh god, DJ Hero again.
Marte really wants the set up job next year.
Leave Marte in for Howard then bring in Mo?
What is this horrible DJ Hero crap?
Let’s add to this shit!
The Yankees are good at baseball.
Whizzo applauds that.
This DJ Hero highlight is an EPIC FAIL.
Even Jeter thinks that plug is lame.
6 little bitty outs to go
My guess is that they go to Hughes for the 8th with a four run lead. Well, I assume Marte would stay in for Howard. But I don’t think they’ll go to Mo in the 8th with this lead, even in a clinching game. Could be very wrong.
I think Marte stays in for Howard and maybe Werth and Ibanez
Wow, Damaso really has come up clutch
that was fucking awesome
Let’s score 5 here and bring in Hughes.
every time they show the joe carter home run, i look for the ball going over the fence. i can never find it
Is Buck serious about Matsui hitting a triple? He has to be joking. Right?
I’m scared that Matsui has been so calm tonight…his wife is in some trouble tonight…they might make a baby!
How does one make love to a drawing?
Actually, the Japanese have probably figured that out and I don’t want to know how they did it.
a Matsui triple would crack me the freak up.
You and Matsui’s knees.
several people would have to fall down and potentially hurt themselves for Hideki to even try for third.
Tex almost killed Mike Kelleher.
Mick, rather.
Weak. It’s Mick Kelleher.

Godzilla lurking in the hole.
Tex-AClutch-Godzilla vs. Chan Homer Park
This has tack on written all over it. Let’s get some more.
marte is straight fucking gangster.
six to go.
Cmon A-Rod
Let’s go, A-Rod. Tack on HR, please.
It’s amazing that we are about to win the WS with our #3 hitter (not) hitting like Tony Womack.
I don’t know why people think Chan Ho is an awful pitcher.
He used to be. He’s on steroids now, so he’s not anymore.
And added a spitter to his arsenal.
Will Tex still get killed in the papers if the Yankees win?
only as a footnote. No one will really care.
I agree. He had a great season and some key hits in the ALDS and ALCS.
No, but next year in ST he’ll have to talk about it endlessly.
stupid if he does. you face great pitching in the playoffs. can’t expect all your hitters to be good.
you hope 2 or 3 get hot and ride them
Well, there’s always next postseason Tex.
obviously not quite over yet, but who’s your MVP?
Charlie Manuel
ietcvm
i could go for giving it to Girardi
Alex…what are you looking at?
time for an exclamation point, alex
Why is ARod looking at teh meatball twice?!1
when everyone goes to parade on Friday, Tex and cano extra Batting practice with Long.
and Gardner can practice bunting
Cano is getting fucked by Babip. He has been hitting the ball hard, just right at them.
Tex better be the one handing out goggles. He needs to do something.
::cue clown music::
UZR FAIL
That works. Time for a triple, Hideki.
OFs are gonna have to fall down at least twice for that to happen.
They would have to run into eachother and knock eachother out. Rollins, on his way out, trips and breaks his ankle. He crawls to the ball, throws it in, and Matsui is into third on a close play.
MO can be cruel and he will make it happen, just to see the look on Buck’s face.
10 hopper !!
Finally. The Yankees got a Phillies hit.
A-Rod can get cheap seeing-eye singles, too.
scott eyre = mothra
That was freaking funny.
you sir get mad props with the Godzilla reference!
A nice stat padding hit
Hah, that Phillies bullpen deserves a http://www.sadtrombone.com for that play on the A-Rod’s hit.
GODZILLA!!!
Aw man, no Korea vs. Japan matchup.
Let’s go Matsui-sama.
let’s go godzilla
what slapsticky sequence of events would have to occur in order for matsui to get a triple?
Men in Black-style UFO sighting.
A Matsui HR would be absolutely incredible/wonderful here.
they may have to build a new stadium if he goes deep.
If he buries this ball 8-10 feet underground, he might triple. And that would be wonderful.
Hideki…no. Do not do that.
Why do managers insist on bringing in LHP against Matsui?
Matsui shares his porn collection with them.
I’d like to give a shout-out to Girardi for putting Matsui behind A-Rod again.
Thank you, Joe!
Double thanks.
Now THAT’s another bad call. He didn’t go.
DFA Matsui for that K
Bad AB by Hideki.
Yeah it doesn’t look like Eyre has ever turned down “chocolate covered” anything or “ran it off”
Is that swing, really? Why is it so hard to get a good umpire?
was the right call… same as utely
Did he swing?
Ah damn. I was hoping to see Jorgie juice one.
I guess make up call had to be made for Utley..i still prefer this way..
Hah, They want you Robbie!
Fuck umpires.
Let’s go Cano. Make them pay.
Make them pay RC
do it robbie.
wow Robbie getting no respect. I hope he cracks one outta here.
Sort of looked like the Utley swing to me, so I can’t complain.
come on robbie
make ‘em pay
Matsui is a CHOKA!!!!
Can Robbie make them pay?
Make them pay, Robinson. I said you’d get a big hit tonight along with Tex. He’s done his part, you do yours.
Redemption chance for Robbie.
This is one of those times that Cano hits a rope into left center. That’s what I want to see.
Make them pay, Cano.
Cano, make them remember you!!!
Jimmy Fallon really?
Shouldn’t that giant bag of douche be making the sequel to Fever Pitch?
He looks so sad.
Spiiiiiike! Jungle Feaver was awesome!
Wow spelling fail.
Spike Lee wins the award for most horrendous Yankee cap of the night. Damn.
I believe he had a hand in designing that thing
Cano=Duex2
lets go robbie – you can do it
Time for a field goal
Cano definitely is due to join the party.
aight robbie. hit one the fuck out of here.
A hit would go a long way to refurbishing Robbie’s postseason image
Come on Robbie you so deserve a hit in this game!
fuck that was the pitch.
Cano’s trying to hit it our
Cano swinging through 88mph fastballs…
Brazuka
did he swing?
i swore he didnt swing
Healthy, healthy cuts.
That swing encompasses Robbie’s postseason: head off the ball and a swing that was way too long.
Goddamn, that one was right in the wheelhouse.
Man. He can’t catch up to 88mph fastballs.
Come on Cano.
Did anyone tell Robbie that the World Series has started?
Damn, Cano. Just shameful.
ugh.
Sigh.
my god you suck
Wow, bad.
Cano = wow not in a good way
shocking seeing cano swing through so many pitches.
wow cano has been BRUUUUUUUUTAL
Cano wins the Soriano award
hits 320 in the regular season and cant hit shit in the playoffs….what the fuck
Ugh, Cano.
Cano is really starting to piss me off
dont worry. that was his last ’09 at bat
Who gives a shit, the Yankees are 6 outs away from winning the World Series. Cheer up.
Do you throw Marte against Howard then Mo?
With a 4 run lead, that’s what I’d do
I think Girardi should go that route. Mo with a big lead is usually not so pleasant.
Six outs away…
I think Marte will start this inning out, but one baserunner gets on and it’s Mo time.
+27.
Just go straight to Mo.
WTF Cano? Mo Time.
Where did ninja-Robbie go?
is it possible for cano to be excluded from postgame shenanigans?? maybe have him sit in his locker behind the baggie while everyone celebrates??
Maybe he can work valet and bring the Phillies their cars?
Maybe sit him in the corner with his thumb in his mouth. He has been doing that in the batters box all series anyway.
ano swings like a Brazuka
What happened to Cano? Can’t catch up to 88 mph fastballs? Our worst hitter this post-season?
good locations. cano’s not trying to work an AB there, he’s going with the “ima hit one out da park now” approach. it’s not working. no biggie.
Seriously has any World Series winner gotten so little out of so many ?
Stay big, Damaso. Stay big.
At least Cano was consistent…consistently bad
somewhere, willie wilson is holding his breath…
Cano should be forced to clean up after the celebrations. Give him a vacuum because he’s created enough wind this postseason, time to reverse it.
C’mon Marte.
making scott eyre look good. remember singleton’s line in spring training anyone? “… but to Eyre, divine.”
So the Phillies are champions for 6 more outs.
Marte!
6 pitches, 2 Ks. SIT DOWN!!
damaso mrte has been a fucking man
5 more
Utley + Howard: SIX PITCHES, SIX STRIKES!
MARTEis also a centaur
Wow! Leave Marte in, he’s dealing. Mo’s ready if needed
MARTE is a BEAST!!!
Marte – 6 pitches, 2 K’s.
Domination.
Brazuka in the house
And Willie Wilson is now completely erased from memory
a sim Marte -
6 pitches, 2 outs. Lefty specialism at its finest.
Enter Sandman.
MARTE!!!!!
Howard just broke the all-time World Series K record.
Does Damaso mean Filthy in spanish?
It’s Mo time.
Here comes the Sandman!
5 outs
enter sandman
Way to go, Damaso. End this shit.
Ryan Howard? Phone call for you, it’s your face. Soccer practice is over, and you need to PICK IT UP!
Marte to Mo!
Who knew?
Marte strikes out both batters he faced. I would let him pitch until one gets on, or just until the 9th inning.
Nasty!!!!
Enter Sandman
EXIT LIGHT!
ENTER NIGHT!
And New York City rejoices, for Mo has come.
has Marte’s stock risen or what?
So, what are the chances Jose Tabata would have impacted a Yankee championship run to the extent Marte has?
Trade: justified.
Howard set the WS strikeout record.
MO the ENDER!
Seeing Mo run in sends chills down my spine.
Eh, I would’ve left Marte in, this strikes me as unnecessarily cautious, especially given how Marte’s been dealing.
Oh well. Game over now.
I hate Fox. That entrance is EPIC!!!!!
And here comes….GOD!
PS Congrats on breaking that record Ryan.
Those fuckers at Fox! They couldn’t give us another 10 seconds or so?
Man, that entrance is so badass.
