Game 80: In which the Yankees will try to win 0 to -1
By
Photo Credit: Seth Wenig, AP
Can the Yankees score a run? What about more than one? Can Andy Pettitte throw nine innings with a shaky bullpen behind him and Mariano Rivera having pitched in each of the last two days? Can a Yankee catcher stop a ball in the dirt, maybe even throw a baserunner out? This, and more, will be answered on this beautiful New York afternoon.
Here’s the starting nine…
Jeter, SS
Swisher, DH
Teixeira, 1B
A-Rod, 3B
Cano, 2B
Posada, C
Granderson, CF
Huffman, RF
Gardner, LF
And on the mound: Pettitte, Andrew Eugene.
Even though it’s Saturday, this one’s not a FOX game, thankfully. First pitch is set for 1:05pm ET, and can be seen on YES. Try not to pull your hair out.

If I pull any more hair out, I’ll go bald.
Worst text poll ever.
These day games suck….at least when I’m at work.
“maybe even throw a baserunner out?”
I’m hopeful. They are down to 16.7% CS as a team.
El Maquinito is 3-4 (so far), and with two innings left may get another AB.
Just another day of the .459 average!
(There’s also another PB. And I should probably shut up before this gets old)
All his PB’s have been with a LHer on the mound.
I’m really rooting for Sanchez. I used to be hoping for him to be signed by the Yankees. Then I was waiting for him to be in the minors. Now I’m hoping he can just keep continuing his success.
It’s gonna be interesting to watch the YES guys try to talk about American history from the poll
So you mean, I dont have to listen to Buck and McCarver today? CLUTCH! My head can survive another day!
Anyone else miss the days when YES showed games from the Yankees farm system on off days or when the Yankees game was earlier or later in the day? I mean, I would love to watch some Tampa, Trenton and Scranton games, maybe throw alittle Charleston, SI and GCL in there…
I would really love to see a GCL game, that team looks awesome.
they used to just show a few Clipper games when they had ZERO prospects there.
I think part of the reason they don’t show like showing the minor league games is they don’t want to get the fan base too high or too low on any given prospect based on a few random games. The other obvious reasons are the production costs of broadcasting from stadiums and parks that are not set up for it.
I wish they would put them on more especially on off days.
Is it just me or have Buck and McCarver become more tolerable? They don’t irk me as much as they used to. Then again it could be due to the more ESPN games or the horrible umpiring endured this season.
Still incredibly intolerable. McCarver and Joe Morgan are the worst by far.
My parents just got HD TV yesterday. Hello Andy Pettitte in HD.
2-0? Game over.
ouch
I know what you mean, but seriously?
2-0 fastball to Bautista? You deserve it, Andy.
Meh. It was off the plate. Bautista just somehow got to it.
how does Cito Gaston get away with putting a lineup together that has Nick Green DHing and John McDonald in LF????? Maybe he is trying to trick the Yankees into thinking it’s still interleague play.
BUT THEY STILL HAVE TEH BEST RECURD IN THE LEEGE!!!
But they are also 2 games from not even being the wild card team…and they’re spending more than anyone.
The talent is there, the “sky is falling” view of things is dumb with this roster. Playing like shit and having the best record in the league is great, imagine when they, you know, play to their full potential.
It hasn’t been that fun to watch the Yankees of late but the negativity by really rational, awesome people when anything bad happens is getting absurd.
Heh, I assume that includes me. I’m just venting, frustrated as hell.
It does, and I totally understand. I’m just being honest here because you are awesome and I’d rather be honest than passive-aggressive.
Honesty isn’t always welcomed here, unless it’s about Boone Logan or Cervelli.
I love how you barely post here except to tell us all what we think. Thanks, Poopy Pants, we couldn’t do it without you.
Can someone give me an educated assessment of Bautista? I look at his career stats and scratch my head…
His power has come out of nowhere. He claimed he overhauled his swing in March of this year. He no longer feels like he is always behind, he goes up there in attack mode.
It’s fluky. Basically he’s Gorman Thomas or Rob Deer or any other of those all or nothing guys.
And, no, Adam Dunn is better.
Where did that miss. ;_;
I’m not sure I can take subpar play today. I might decide doing yard work in upper 80 degree temperatures is more appealing.
Great start to this game.
Yikes, the outfield looks tremendously horrible.
Maybe these extra-cirruclar activities are not a good idea. Oh, wait, that’s right, they’ll make money.
HUFFMAN FLOP.
i thought we were screwed there. nice catch huff, man
Huffman might have saved a couple of runs after almost costing a couple of runs.
man i turn on the game and see the yanks down already 2-0? o_O
Huffman providing the spark!!!!
NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great play Huffman!!
great recovery, Huffman is a good athlete for a big guy
That could have been a lot worse
“Gets out of it by just allowing 2 runs.”
Because when you make that statement, it makes it sound…ok?
Ok Guys, if u see a fastball, Crush it!!!!
not sure what the #’s say but I haven’t been a big fan of DHing Swisher. Would rather see Granderson get a day off.
Any day now, Teix.
Never seen a team sit on a fastball and a change at the same time. Yankees have yet to make an adjustment all year.
It’s not that easy.
For the Yankees obviously its not. Every lefty has came in with the same approach. Same results every time.
0 for 23 with RISP. I mean, you’d think ONE ball would dunk in by accident in that time.
What are the chances of that like seriously.
You’d think that.
But I’m starting to think that it’s just further proof that everything is random and nothing can be counted to change just because it “should.”
lol why the heck do you swing at that, alex?
In other news, today is the 147th anniversary of Pickett’s Charge at the Battle of Gettysburg.
But the re-enactment is tomorrow.
0/23, ewwwww. At least there’s regression to the mean…?
That is a terrible poll question. First of all, Adams, Franklin and Jefferson shouldn’t be on the list because they didn’t fight any battles.
The other choices should be people like Marquis de Lafayette, Benedict Arnold (yes, really, he was the hero of Saratoga), the foreign guy who trained the army who’s name is escaping me, and any other number of generals who actually devised battle plans and fought.
And, yea, what does this have to do with baseball?
i hope we can score more than Toronto this game
Fudgie The Whale > Cookie Puss >>> Cookie O’Puss
Carvel rules.
Carvel cakes are so insanely good
Ugh, don’t ever do that again, Kay.
I don’t know who ended up winning that Fourth of July contest, but after reading the entries, if Jose the Satirist didn’t win, it would have been highway robbery.
Good Grief…. turn on the game read the thread and 2-0 already. This is like one of those USA Network movie marathons where you see the same show over and over and over….
I can’t wait for us to play real teams like Boston and Tampa – we can at least beat them.
well good luck yankees, papers will have a field day with you tomorrow if you drop out of first place – first headline PANICK STRIKES NYC AREA ON 4TH WEEKEND (yankees squander 1st place lead) – My money is on the Post using that headline.
baby carlos is the most positive person on the Game Thread. :: head explodes :: (sorry, bc. I am teasing.)
Robbie’s been hurting my fantasy team big time this week.
nice atbat for Robbie
Wow, anyone else running…
so who will be the magical Yankee to snap the RISP streak???
That ball played the shit out of Bautista. That would have been a triple for all non-38-year-old catchers.
Can anyone verify if Singleton is telling the truth on that memory?
good contact for Curtis.. screw you BABIP!!
Are they nearing an o-fer record with RISP?
Maybe, but I know the Phillies went 0 for 30-something earlier this year, during that three game shutout streak.
I would assume Huffman goes down for Thames. You can’t have THREE outfielders, one infielder, and one catcher on the bench.
But why not Russo or Curtis? Just because Huffman seems to equal to Thames?
Exactly.
Yea, he just gave me a painful reminder.
Tex’s career pre all star break triple slash: .271/.365 /.501
This years pre break triple slash: .232/ .345/ .409
I put this offensive slump on Tex’s shoulders. He has gotten a pass because he always slumps in the beginning of the year, but never anywhere even close to this. It is getting to the point where he is a legit problem and the offense is just not the same with him hitting like this.
A slump like this isn’t one player’s fault.
Agreed for sure. But I feel like Cano has put his time in carrying this team. ARod has been has had his moments and a great May. Swisher has been mashing. Jeter and Jorge have done their part as well (although Jeter could surely pick it up.
I just feel like this was the time, going into the break, for Tex to carry this team. Its was turn and he is simply just not heating up.
Logic fail
If Tex was having a “normal” year for him, I don’t think we are in this slump. My opinion.
So everyone else is suddenly playing a lot better if Tex was having a more productive year?
How does that make sense? Yeah, sure Tex hasn’t really heated up and tore the cover off of the ball, but a slumping team is never one player’s fault like Axisa said.
This whole thing isn’t Tex’s fault. Burnett was pitching horribly for a while. The bullpen still needs to get it together. And there are many other problems besides Tex.
Tex doesn’t suddenly solve all of this even if he tries to carry the offense. It helps, but it doesn’t guarantee wins.
Yea, of course it is a team effort. I don’t literally mean Tex is the only reason for the slump. But my point is that every other part of the team (maybe minus the set up men) have had their stretches of carrying the team, especially starting pitching. I think it is Tex’s job to carry this offense at points. He has yet to do it.
And as I am writing this, Tex gets a big hit, and boom, no more offensive struggle. Like I said, ha.
Hahaha yeah.
I see your point better now. I just misunderstood.
Woo, more squandered opportunities.
that changeup is filth
It’s gone from enraging to entertainingly bad.
Yankees you are making me sad right now.
Happy thoughts.
http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.t.....kkr1hJY%3D
(dudes, you won’t care about this.)
Thanks for the warning. I almost clicked the link
It’s not like it’s porn, I just don’t think the gentlemen of RAB will react like the ladies would. =P
I clicked on it. I figured it was something related to Twilight, which horrifies me.
Then I saw the picture and I just felt unclean.
Ewwww Twilight, no
If only that was everyone’s thought. Two biggest opening days in box office history. Makes me feel good about the future of the motion picture.
I figured that much.
I think this 3D shit needs to end.
Not going anywhere anytime soon. It’s the next big thing, 3D TV’s and shit are going to replace HD sets rather soon.
Mo help us all.
Go ahead, people, buy up this 3D crap. When your eyes are ruined, you’ll have no one to blame but yourself.
Were the Phillies bad for over a month like the Yankees have been?
17-23 in their last 40.
They were worse. Utley had an OPS in the .400s for about a month. He was probably hurt, but it was obviously bad.
The Phillies are alot worse ande played in the inferrior league.
Phillies slump>>>>>>Yankees Slump
Kay just stole my “consistently inconsistent” phrase. I should sue him.
All im going to say is this, the Yankees offense (or the entire team) is not playing well, however, we all know their going to be peaks and valleys in a 162 game season and we all know it’s going to be a dog fight in AL East, because after all nobody is pulling away from the division. The Yankees are just weathering the storm of suckitude right now.
/Yankee Fan trying to be optimistic’d
These are pretty much my thoughts, but the storm of suckitude, well, it sucks.
Does anyone still care about the Predator “franchise?”
Now, should Brett steal despite the inevitable 0-for-3 with RISP, or stay on first and hope for a two run homer?
Shouldn’t he steal just because he should steal?
Oh, LHP, never mind.
Steal. I’m getting a GIDP vibe here.
might be tougher to steal off a lefty in Romero..but might as well give it a shot.. he’s a great basestealer in terms of %..
nice hit for Gardy.. baserunners every inning so far..
*twittles thumbs*
BAH…so close.
if Swisher bunts……………………………..
Is Eric Bedard confirmed to be pitch against the Yankees in Seattle along with Lee and Felix too?
Damn. We’re gonna get swept.
Can we break out here?
*face palm*
Ugh, bunting? Can we not give up outs right now?
Hey, didn’t the Dodgers show you just how effective those bunts are?
Alright, now’s the time to break out of this shit. Gardner and Jete both on with no out and the heart coming up. Regression is just too damn likely to keep this up.
Even better. Loaded. Tex, Arod, Canot. Get. It. Done.
Woo hoo. Hit with RISP. But no freaking run!!!
A hit with RISP!
Bases loaded, no outs. We saw this movie in the 3rd inning yesterday … alternate ending maybe?
So far, yes.
We have to score here…right!? Can’t strand the bases loaded again…RIGHT??
A hit with RISP but they can’t score.
Oooof course.
Yay!
Even a base hit with RISP doesn’t score anybody.
It’s about time!
!!!
YES! RUNS!!! Thank you Tex
woohoo texy’s back!!
about fuckin time (let’s keep count of how many of these posts there are. LOL )
Teixeira actually got a hit off JC Romero? Borderline Miracle.
Teix got my message.
Zing!
Lets go offense!!!
Tex! Finally some runs!!
ARods turn now
wh-what was that??? There were like guys on base and we hit the ball and they crossed home plate I don’t get it?!?!??!?!
It’s about time…
….OK. We’ll take it.
“2-0? Game over.” – Mike Axisa in the top of the 1st inning for the best offense in the league.
Red Sox have more runs.
damn alex has lost a lot of speed
2007 a-rod beats that throw
Arod shouldnt get the rbi on that one, right? Error on Romero?
If my Dad was here watching, he would have called that Davey Lopes defense.
We actually got a break!
wooooooooooooooooooooooooo
This I like.
Well, good bye RISP slump.
Hopefully. It is, after all, just one inning.
I’m liking the fact they’ve had some hard hit balls off Romero more than anything else.
great job cano
And the RISP avg correction. Gotta love it
Hey look its the Yankee offense. Hope they enjoyed their vacation, they certainly look refreshed.
Romero is pissing on the mound.
More like diarrhea.
Not literally pissing.
But you knew that.
I know, but I wanted to bring our friend CHoP into the conversation.
Holy shit, 62 pitches…Blue Jays bullpen, get your affairs in order.
Heh. Too bad its Huffman next.
wow that 1st base umpire has a damn good eye
what a great call
wow what a collapse
more runs please
Yikes.
Thanks for hitting Huffman
thats exactly what i was thinking
That looked painful.
Bases clearing triple?
The only thing better
OMFG!!!!!!!!!
BG GRAND SLAM!!!
AHHAHAHAHAHA
Gardy!
GRIT SLAM!
Man, the look on Romero’s face.
Incredible.
A Grit-slam!!!!
wowowowowowowowowwowowowo
Happy I didn’t give up on this offense to do yard work, ha.
GARDNER!!!!!!!!
I predicted that.
Grandslam by the Gritster!
THE GARDY MAN CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t believe… what I just saw…
We’ll see you tomorrow night!
Oops, wrong quote.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
*breathes*
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
wow!
GRITGASM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have to go clean myself up now.
Collectively off the ledge yet?
Wow, the somewhat cocky trot to first base. Love it.
I almost fell out of my chair, I’m laughing so hard right now
Brett Gardner now has more home runs than American League Home Run Derby vote leader Joe Mauer.
I am still, like, shaking. Did that really just happen O_O
And tied with Nick Markakis
that fact pains me, especially cuz i chose mauer with my first round pick in both leagues
Eh, I’d never go with a catcher for my first round pick, but I don’t blame you.
Some idiot in my league dropped Justin Morneau for some reason. Now I have him and Pujols.
And I’m still in fifth place.
That’s really weird. I have Morneau. No way I’m dropping him.
Dooes anyone think Sterling was panicking during the at-bat to come up with a terrible Gardner GS call?
gardner has NO power.
so ok, brett no power gardner hits a grand slam after about 2 years of playing time, but derek jeter went like 12 years before hitting his? what gives?
unreal.
7 runs in previous 40 innings
8 runs in the 3rd inning!!!
You just can’t predict baseball.
Okay seriously, that’s not fair… I went to the bathroom to drop one and Gardy hits a grand slam.
Now you can call it “taking a Gardner slam” or something.
i gotta drop a huge gardner.
LOL, I could and I should.
Just love everything Gardner brings to the table as a baseball player.
Would you mind spending the rest of the season on the bowl?
Thanks.
I guess the yankees got tired of RAB bitching about the offense uh.
They’ve been huddling around the computer at night browsing through the comments.
So long as they don’t go Jay and Silent Bob on us after the season…
Also, that was a downright Damon-esque swing and dinger.
I’m kinda disappointed… I wanted the inside the park grand slam. Brett gave up on his grit.
Denard Span wasn’t playing the outfield.
Umm was Kenny just describing David Cone’s exploits in the Mets’ bullpen or the Yankees’ offense?: “The pressure was building up and it just exploded.”
How many grandslams do the Yankees have this year?
8
Jeez, Derek, get a friggin’ hit!
You want to limp to 3000?
He’s clogging the bases to 3000!
maybe he’s trying to get to 3000 walks? :p
Wait, according to Kay, Gardner also can hit homeruns if he really wants to, but chooses not to?
/Ichiro’d
If I didn’t see it for myself i wouldn’t have beleived my phone. Britt? PRISINT!
Can’t complain when Gardner hits a hr. Now Andy just needs to finish them off.
That is if he still remembers how to pitch after sitting in the dug out for so long.
Sterling: “Gardner started it with a single, and climaxed it with a grandslam.” Was he talking about baseball? (Blushes.)
was gardners grandy a cheepie?
Naw it was about 330 into the wind
that had to be farther than that
maybe 345
Eh, not really. It wasn’t a 400ft shot, but it didn’t just make it either. The rightfielder didn’t really go after it if that helps.
Andy is like Brah I need to pitch
Andy’s gotta be rotting away on the bench.
Man what if Tex takes a walk then A-Rod hits another slam this inning?
oooooh cmon a-rod slam??!!?@((*??
One more ball and then grand slam numero dos for the inning?
Don’t do it Alex. Don’t be mean Alex…
OK A-Rod, you gonna let Gardner show you up? You have more power than that pipsqueak, right?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Hey, come on, A-Rod totally planned that.
Oh, you have gotta be effing kidding me.
A-Rod’s popups FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this a little league game??
lulz
That has to be an error.
weirdest. inning. EVER.
No fair: A-Rod yelled “HA!”
Wow, Tallet was lucky there. A-Rod had like 3 very good swings there in that AB.
He totally Enrique Wilson’d that.
The Blue Jays will immediately trade for Raul Mondesi after this game.
Ales just missed three good pitches to hit in that AB. He’s kinda gotta do better than that…
He hit a bases-clearing double (in the books), can’t complain about that!
O man, I needed this
We all needed this.
Did we even score 11 runs this whole WEEK before this inning? Good grief this is the craziest inning in recent memory.
Nine, actually.
Ahhhhh…well struck ball, Robbie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdhftriXIrk (safe)
Love that cartoon.
Only eleven runs? Scrub offense.
Luis Castillo got traded to the Blue Jays and is now an outfielder?
No! No! My comment was funnier! I’m not taking this lying down!
Have you been hanging around a Mets fan for too long? That´s a dream scenario for them.
Some guy called Francesa about a week ago and said Carlos Beltran won’t help them much and that he’ll disrupt what they have going.
BJs have been out in the sun for too long.
Uh………………………………..so many things that could be said.
So yeah, eye black REALLLY helps with the sun… put some SHADES ON!!!
Yknow, just not today or tomorrow.
Hopefully the offense now will start clicking. They needed this game.
Most Runs in a inning since 05? Isn’t that the game where when Pinella was managing, if you read his lips he said “Why Don’t you put it on a fucking tee” lol…
Sure was. I think they won that game 20-11.
that was a HIGH-Larious inning of baseball
nice shut down inning
Trivia answer: Brian Roberts/Miguel Tejada and Jeff Kent/Rich Aurilia.
I stepped out for a moment to give a buddy a hand as the Yankees were just coming to bat. 35 minutesish later I came back to see Cano line out to right. I assumed several innings had gone by, until I looked at the score.
That was awesome.
Who wants more runs? This guy.
So, I missed the greatest inning ever grocery shopping. Bummer.
Bloody hell… the one day I can’t watch the game only get updates and fuzzy radio coverage, the Yankees decide to explode. Fuck me.
Lesson learned – stick to the radio.
By the way, apparently hitting like a slump is contagious – Suzyn Waldman.
Randy Wells has a no-no through 6 innings.
wow it’s 83 here in htown and 98 on the field at the bronx?
incredible
The slump is back.
Mike Axisa – think it was you who put out the article on Gardner being more important to the yankees than anyone imagined. well done.
Have the winning lotto numbers by chance fucking tired of working all the time.
Whenever people talk about Moose and now Pettitte walking away from the game on top, I think the money aspect gets lost a little bit. They are not only “wasting” their baseball ability, but they are also passing up millions of dollars. I don’t care how much money you have, it has got to be tough to turn down a 10+ million dollar deal.
agreed. you never hear someone complaining about having too much money
Mark Brunell and Antoine Walker nod in agreement.
We agree
i always love hearing about that john mcdonald story
It’s one of my favorite parts of the 2010 season so far. Just a wonderful, wonderful story.
What mcdonald story?
Encarnacion walked across Andy’s mound!
I’m biting my internet tongue really really hard to stop myself from saying what I want to say.
Adams should’ve won.
Jeter, a double play??? that’s rare
I felt the same way, but then someone did an article showing that, actually, he’s behind the D-P pace he was on in several previous seasons.
But it still feels like he does it once a game.
Can we hit Gardner leadoff, please???
Alex Gonzalez???
ugh
he and bautista are KILLING the yanks this season i believe
boy wells has fallen waaaaaaay back to earth
Andy Pettitte has given the Yankees length this year. No comment.
Since this is coming from you Bexy…there is more to this message than it seems.
The team also benefits from the fact that he pitches into the late innings of ball games.
Andy has been great this year. I wonder if he will come back for 1 more season now because of this year.
I assumed he would anyway, so yea I think so
You ruined the sexual innuendo extravaganza!
Seriously, dude, what a bummer. ;_;
This game as Dustin Moseley written all over it. Also…
Russo at third
Pena at short
Huffman moves to first
Curtis to right
All of these things are completely cool with me, give me a blowout or give me death
Good job Andy. Is this lead BP proof ?
Yeah, I wanna see Moseley get the save in this one
It seems tough to get the ball out to LC at YSIII, I must say.
wow mosley sure doesn’t walk people
i like that trait
Moseley’s from Texarkana, eh? Wonder if he knows the Heathcott’s.
ha it depends on which side of texarkana :p. the ark side, or the TX side
atta boy Mosely
now that was a damn impressive inning
5 pitches, 1K
2 broken bats, zero balls
I was really impressed by the 2 out of 3 broken bats.
It was Mariano-esque
Is anyone tracking how many broken bats MO has induced per batter/AB/pitch?
That was quite an impressive inning from Moseley.
send him to teh 8th!
Moseley to the 8th!!!!!
/hysterical overreaction’d
Moseley is obviously the heir to Rivera, look at the movement! The broken bats!
Dustin to teh 8th!!!
Hmmm, are we sure they didn’t just call up Melvin and call him Moseley so the other teams wouldn’t see it coming?
With a 5 pitch inning he’s giving himself a shot at the save.
I’ll bet they’ll let him go 60-70 pitches. He was supposed to make a start two days ago so I would think he’s more than capable of going 100
Moesely Rules.
(Spelling rues.)
Dustin to teh 8th!!!!!!
wait why the hell do you put in CHoP?
He can’t be off the roster fast enough.
Dreck.
amen
This is the only situation where Chan Ho park should be pitching — up or down 8 runs.
(And I’d rather see Moseley here. He at least might help the 2010 Yankees)
posada at 1st!
Umm really Posada at first? Aren’t they supposed to be protecting him from getting hurt?
Hmmmm, catching easy throws from your fielders vs getting nicked with 90 mph foul balls………I’ll put him at first
I needed that, Yankees. Thank you.
Great fucking win
the only downside is that a-rod and grit gutner’s RBIs have destroyed me today in fantasy
I’m still kicking myself for not picking up Gardner when he was still available in my league. At the time, I figured “nah, my OF is ok, and he’ll cool off soon.” Damn!
When I left to go to the store I was afraid I might miss another grand slam or something
Great win, very cathartic.
I kind of love Bob Lorenz
That was refreshing.
