Game 126: Payback
By
Alex approves. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens)
The Blue Jays got the best of the Yankees last night, with Jose Bautista getting revenge for an alleged pitch thrown at his head by homering late in the game to break a tie. Now it’s time for the Yanks to get some payback of their own.
I’m not talking about plunking Bautista or anything, let him puff his chest out and think he’s shown everyone he’s the man. He’s going to be playing golf in October one way or the other. I want to win, and not just win, but win big. Bludgeon them right from the start and show no mercy. Remind Bautista and the rest of his teammates that they’re nothing but fourth place afterthoughts in the game’s toughest division, and even though they won the battle yesterday, they were always doomed to lose the war.
Here’s the starting nine…
Jeter, SS
Swisher, RF
Teixeira, 1B
Cano, 2B
Thames, DH
Posada, C
Kearns, LF
Granderson, CF
Nunez, 3B
And on the the bump, it’s Dustin Moseley.
This one’s scheduled to start a little after 7pm ET and can be seen on good ol’ My9. Enjoy.

Here’s to scoring 10+ runs tonight!

USA! USA! USA!

I still say plunk him. Just because the umps will be forced to warn the benches and Toronto won’t be able to retaliate.
Plunk him for being throw at the night before? That’s perfectly emotionally healthy.
*thrown
No, for his attitude and demeanor.
I’m not entirely sure Nova threw at him intentionally. He crowds the plate so much. But for the extra slow home run trot and the mocking of Cervelli as he crossed the plate, he seems to think he’s really, really good because he’s having a career year. In terms of gamesmanship, he deserves it. The Yankees need to remind him that he’s in 4th place.
Sorry but he wasn’t thrown at. The pitch was high but right over the plate.
Nice try though.
Or physically, if you read the recent Lou Gehrig stuff.
Bautista really went out of his way to rub it in yesterday, which just means he’s an asshole. Fuck him, win the game.
+28
What I’d like to see in this game:
- Victory by double digit margin
- Jose Bautista diving onto the dirt to dodge a headshot
- “Let’s go Yankees” chant in that shitty stadium
Remember when the SkyDome was state of the art?
Yea, me neither.
I do! Remember when the cameras caught those two people doing it in the Hotel?
This is like the first game I’ve watched in a week or something. Something’s wrong with me.
I’ve got a hypothetical situation. Say someone like Chad Gaudin plunks Bautista and gets handed a five game suspension.
What happens if the Yankees DFA him before his suspension starts? Do they have to hold onto him and wait for the suspension, or can they cut him loose and call up someone else?
Disclaimer: Not saying that they would do this or that I advocate them doing this. Just wondering.
Well, they don’t get paid during suspension so there’s no financial advantage to doing it. I suppose they could release him if they wanted to clear a spot on the roster.
Purely guessing, but if that happened I would assume he would then serve the remainder of the suspension whenever he was resigned.
Damn Mike, you’re really pissed. If anyone wants to guess the pitcher who would be willing to plunk Batista today, that would be Mike Axisa.
I’m all in for plunking him. Aaaaand I also want the Yankees to beat the Jays in to oblivion.
Did you channel your Inner Steinbrenner ? Is there any chance you could give a locker room pep talk ? I know Im ready to kick someones ass right now. Damn good job Mr. Axisa
Why is everyone obsessed with plunking Bautista? Did he throw a ball at someone’s head or slide hard into an infielder and send them to the DL?
Oh you’re so adorable with your ever so subtle jabs at the team you root for. He’s killed the Yankees all season long and he was a bit of a jackass last night (I didn’t have a problem with anything individually but the staring AND the long trot AND the fistpumping isn’t exactly being the greatest of sports).
Why continue to read and comment on this website when you aren’t a fan of the Yankees?
It’s because Nomaas isn’t that funny anymore. Poopy Pants has tried to hide it by lying, but we see through his ruse.
He has no place else to go.
Give us your tired, your poor, your complete assholes
They’re really not. Even in their normal analysis, it seems like they’re not that into it this year.
He could go to Cleveland.
What’s that? No he couldn’t. You just made that up.
A lead! Hooray!
Crap, reply fail.
I know the Red Sox are having a bad season, Poopy Pants, but don’t be one of those fans who only loves them when they win. That’s wrong.

I would like the Yankees to do to the Blue Jays what Chinese Taipei did to Canada in the LLWS.
I say we sick Che Guevara on Bautista. Worked for Castro.
Monty Burns: (incredulous) You mean Batista’s GONE?!?! Did you know about this?
Homer: I had no idea.
I’m glad someone got the reference. 50 year old jokes generally don’t work.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
(pumps fist)
I want to win, and not just win, but win big. Bludgeon them right from the start and show no mercy.
All right Tigers. Lets get ready to play, huh?
I don’t want to see any laziness here. If we win this we’re in the finals. If we get a big lead, we gotta pummel these guys, pummel them at all costs. Dominate, and hammer them. I want you to play dirty, if you have to, but don’t get caught. Byong Sun, stay low. Ok? That’s easy for you. Just chop block ‘em in the back of the knee. That will work well. Ambrose, you’re big. Don’t be afraid to throw the elbow. If you break someone’s collar bone, that’s a good thing, that’s what the medics for. Otherwise he’s just sittin’ around. All right?! You hear me!?
Since this asshattery started in Canada, it is a matter of national pride that the Yankees whoop the Jays into next week so they remember who the top dog is and always will be.
I wish people would chant “USA! USA!” at Roger’s Center. Damn Canadians, not knowing how to have fun. (kidding)
Yeah lets kick some assssssssssssss!!! I want to see a perfect game by Moseley, a four homer night for Teix and Cano, and… some other crazy shit too. lets do it!!
Someone woke up with the taste of blood in there mouth! Mike sounds fired up! #imwithit
Just win.
I really wish Al Davis’s decrepitude and now-shitty franchise hadn’t sucked the life-blood out of that awesome phrase.
“Just Win, Baby” used to mean something. Now it’s just ironic.
MLB Network is dumb. For the record, I think it’s pretty wrong for professional journalists to basically ask Bautista/others if he’s on steroids or whatever. But on the other hand, the analysts on there were like “No, it’s not at all surprising Bautista leads MLB in HR!” I’m more than willing to accept it’s just a career year and he’s unlikely to do this ever again, but come on, guys.
/minor rant over’d
I think we’ve been down this road before. Most all of the guys there are just idiots. Ater all, they employ Kevin Millar and Mitch Williams.
I think HGH is legal in Canada, and MLB can’t test for it because there’s no test available and/or it’s not in the CBA. But from what I’ve read, the effects are grossly overstated and misunderstood. By itself, it’s no big deal.
If you don’t like it, don’t watch. It’s very simple.
http://www.nydailynews.com/spo.....Yankees%29
Know what this tells me?
-not that Johnny’s still mad at the Sox
-not that Johnny loves Detroit
It tells me that Scott Boras is his agent, and Johnny doesn’t lift a finger unless he’s getting paid for it. He doesn’t care about getting a chance to win unless there’s an extension attached to it. That’s his prerogative, and I don’t fault him for that, but fans should be aware of these things.
I agree. Boras has the no-trade clause to the Red Sox and the Yankees put in Damon’s contract for a reason. He wanted it as leverage to get additional money for his client (and himself). Apparently Boston hasn’t stepped up to the plate to give extra money to Damon, so he’s staying in Detroit.
Why is everyone so down on the “steroid era” anyway ? Hell, I enjoyed watching guys like Cervelli hitting 20 bombs. If it wasnt for the shrunken testicle thing , I might do em myself

I know many want to believe that Yankee pitchers, year after year, allow groundballs to be hit anywhere except in the vicinity of Derek Jeter. But expecting Jeter to be even close to a league-average SS in his late-30s is a formula for disappointment.
http://www.baseballthinkfactor.....down_year/
Ive seen this argument a few times. Buy it? Don’t buy it? Either way, how come?
If only we still had Krazy Kyle or if Joba could still hit 97-99 consistently, I wouldnt be worried about plunking. But I dont want to get Kerry Wood, our only guy who throws hard consistently, suspended for 5 games.
See, I know AJ would go out there and try to do it, but the way he’s been pitching that ball would end up getting crushed, anyway.
heh, poor AJ.
When the Yankees unleash the Death Star on Toronto, I will have this playing in the background.

By the way, if what Girardi says is true and Hughes could go 7 every time out without interfering with the limit, I think that puts Hughes’ limit around 180-190. If that is his innings limit, I think all of us will be stunned.
I don’t think that’s what he was saying.
I interpreted it as: “We’d love for him to go 7 innings each start, but that may mean he approaches his innings limits too soon”
what’s the over under for a hbp in this game?
1 1/2.
Shocking
Jeterian at bat
Oh good, Jeter’s back to his first pitch ground ball to second base ways.
shhortstops eveywhere will be jealous
I don’t even get a chance to watch Derek’s at bats anymore. Most of them are over the second they start.
This guy has some odd throwing motion. I don’t think I’ve seen anything quite like it before.
I agree with all the real Yankee fans here, hit Bautista in his face. I coulda swore Grandy got hit last night and that bullshit Bautista pulled last night.
That seemed easy
wrong reply.
But to answer you. I would not be surprised in the yanks pitch him up and in all night when they don’t completely pitch around him.
It really looked like Thames foot touched the dish. RoboUmps please!!
Reply FAIL! I suck at life!
0-2 double, very nice
If you bet on Jeter to swing and hit a groundball on the first pitch, you win nothing because that was completely predictable.
I wonder who is doing the programming over at YES. Maybe I just notice these things because I come from a media background, but right now YES is running a Yankeeograpy on Catfish Hunter. The main audience for this would be Yankee fans. Yankee fans are obviously watching the Yankee game on My9. Makes more sense to run a repeat of a Michael Kay CenterStage where he intereviews anyone who is not a baseball player.
Now back to the game.
Nick piece of hitting Swish, sat back on an 0-2 breaking ball and drove it the other way. He never did shit like that last year.
Has anyone ever been to the Rogers Centre? Because dear lord it looks so ugly. Uglier than Oakland and maybe even the Trop.
I have. It sucks.
I’ve heard that it was considered one of the nicest stadiums in the league when it was built and for a few years afterwards.
My mother and sister saw it when it was in its first few years, and that’s what they said.
All the new stadiums since then have just blown it away.
My brother visited a bunch of stadiums during a road trip with his buddies a few years ago and he said he didn’t think Rogers center was as ugly as it looks on TV, but that it wasn’t great either. And I’ve been to the Trop. It’s ugly. Really ugly.
I’ve been to the Trop too but in like 1999. I don’t remember it at all.
I went a few years back. Can’t remember the exact year. I think it was 2006? I may be wrong. But I was bored out of my mind and kept complaining about hating Florida. I just really hate ball parks with turf instead of grass. There’s something so disgusting about the color, it bothers me.
Oakland wins the ugliest stadium by a light-year. Rogers Centre is beautiful compared to the A’s home. Haven’t been to the Trop.
I’m surprised no one has done a story on Jeter’s stats when he’s been first-pitch swinging. Last year they were pretty good. This year… ehhh
Isn’t that kind of the difference between Derek Jeter last year and this year? Last year he was probably MVP non-Mauer division, who was so much better than everyone else it wasn’t even funny. This year, he’s mediocre…ish. Given that, it’s not really surprising that his numbers swinging at the first pitch were better last year than they are this year.
Wooooooooooooo!
AND IT BEGINS…
(you’re fucked Jays)
There you go Teix! Best way to get back at the Jays is to beat them.
Attaway Tex. Keep it moving, boys.
Or, GIDP. Fuck me.
So sick of this first pitch swinging bs.
Yeah he is an awful player, only leads the majors in WAR….
Nobody’s talking about Josh Hamilton.
http://www.baseball-reference......ue_batting::13
.380/.394/.567
You know what that is? Derek Jeter’s career line on first pitches.
His entire career? How many ABs?
How about his 2010 line on swinging on the first pitch.
http://www.baseball-reference......;t=b#count
1584 PAs
This year he’s .299/.325/.377 which is better than his overall line. This is just a bogus knock on Derek.
Thanks. Good stats. I’m not surprised he’s hit well over his career swinging on the first pitch, although I didn’t quite expect .380, yet now that I think about it, he pretty much has to hit in the .380+ range to be productive, since he’ll generate almost no base on balls. His OBP in those situations is only slightly higher than his overall career OBP, but he makes up for it with additional power.
Bottom line, it’s a part of his game that has played well for him, so can’t knock him as if it’s a new approach that’s not working. It’s not working this year (.325 OBP is lower than his overall OBP, and he’s not generating any additional power), but his overall approach is not quite working as well either.
I wonder if percentage wise he’s swinging at more first pitches this year, or if he’s swinging at different type of pitches (less fastballs) or more pitches out of the stikezone.
Of course, another other option is he’s just getting older.
Bingo. I just hope fans will let him grow old gracefully.
That’s a… creative way to GIDP.
Don’t miss Beanie Buddy night.
I just read your joke at the end of the CC and Girardi thread.
Very funny man. Were you inspired by the Jeffry Ross Hasselhoff roast joke about Springer paying a hooker with a personal check?
Hahaha great reference. I love Jeff Ross, but no I wasn’t inspired directly, it just worked out that way.
I just realized a Mosely fastball probably won’t scare Bautista. Can we call up Romulo just to turn the heat up on his ass?
we need to borrow Aroldis Chapman, 103mph fastball to head would be nice
Is throwing at Bautista really on everybody’s priority list? I’d much rather blow the Jays out. Maybe if there’s time we can throw at Bautista.
That. But the idea of like, gentle, lack-of-stuff Moseley throwing at Bautista is kind of hilarious.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the last time the Yankees knocked a starter out before the 5th inning was against Carmona in Cleveland. I’d like to see them do that a bit more. Seems they let guys off the hook far too often.
Range is oh so good.
pitching and defense
…and hitting
Here we go
Contrary to popular belief, Curtis Granderson is good at baseball.
You know, I don’t think the Yankees need to attack Bautista in any way. He probably received enough torment for that pubic hair that covered half his face. That’s why he shaved that shit off.
Jose Bautista’s Gorilla Mask would make a fine RAB handle.
Take that, Bautista
NICE!
Sit down, Jose. Go set up some tee times for the second week of October.
If Bautista was not fooled by that, that would have been crushed.
Bautista strikes out against a Moseley meatball right over the plate lol
I had nothing against Bautista until yesterday. Now I want to punch him in the throat.
And I am also excited about that strike out, Nova.
Breaking news: Bautista swung at slop and it didn’t end up in the roof! :O
He’s hitting .215 or so with only 6 of his home runs against non-fastballs.
Let’s just not throw him any, eh?
I lol’ed when Bautista K’ed against a Mosley Meatball.
I guess Bautista forgot he sucked once. Well, let us remind him!
HAHA YOU K’D!!!!!
THAMES!!!!
Haha, when Bautista came up the Blue Jays network showed his intro because they thought he’d get some raucous standing O…they forgot where they are…no one gives a shit
Speaking of nobody giving a shit…Did anybody call for his curtain call last night?
Is tonight “swing at first pitch” night in Toronto? I missed the press release.
Damn…Mose with the belt-high change to Bautista. Gotta wonder if he saw his life flash before his eyes as it crossed the plate.
I don’t think Posada is physically capable of swinging at the first pitch. And I mean that in a good way.
FYI-Betances makes his AA debut tonight
http://www.rider.edu/175_16702.htm
Nice failding, Bautista
lol Bautista, strong depth perception
Good defense, Jose.
Fly ball read fail.
Nice D Jose
Flip the bat more, Jose. HAHA!
This is what happens when you’re an asshat, Bautista.
Maybe Jose Bautista should spend as much time shagging lazy balls as he does practicing his bat flip.
…but you’re more likely to get on SportsCenter by bat flipping than good D.
He practices staring down pitchers in the mirror more than catching fly balls apparently.
Like he gets paid for that.
I can’t tell if the Yanks are winning right now, or if the Jays are losing.
Atta boy Bautista! Show your true colors.
Looks like Roids don’t aid your fielding
…and the double fail for Bautista!
Am I the only one who thinks this pitcher is begging for an elbow injury. He throws all elbow it seems.
I hope this is karma’s way of reminded Bautista that no one likes a douchebag. C’mon, Austin, bring Thames home.
Goddammit.
Uuuuuuuuuuuugh so close Thames. So close.
LOL THAMES!
wait, did his shin not just slide across when that happened?
Thames what was that? how did he manage not to touch the plate?
Buck was blocking the plate.
Damn. Is Thames limping?
WTF Marcus ?
Stupid, Thames.
That was the right play, he was dead otherwise.
DAMN! Nice hard nosed play by Thames, though. Love to see that shit.
am i the only one that thinks he got the plate there…
No. It looks like his knee slid over it.
Tough to tell but I think he might have.
That was just a weird play.
How is the ump even expected to make that call? Instant replay is obviously necessary.
Pretty sure he didn’t touch the plate.
I still can’t tell even after four.
But point being it is impossible for the ump to be in position to see every angle.
Go for the chest next time Thames
Sweet the leg, Marcus.
/Kobra Kai’d
time for Nunez to earn his stripes
Oh look at that. An umpire called the pitch where it crossed not where it ended up. Good job, blue. Good job.
Grandy with a walk against a LHP. Hooray for small victories!
Come on Nunie!
Bags are loaded for Nunez. I wonder what happens here.
Is Nunez a true Yankee? We’ll find out. LOL
I’ll take a sac fly here.
That works too. Way to hustle it out, kid.
great speed
Good hustle
6 up, 6 down for Dellin.
Romine with a double
….and he gets thrown out the next play @ 3rd on a FC, which is just asinine.
Phew.
That was the slowest turn ever.
I’ll take a RBI force out.
Nice hustle, Nunez.
He’s pretty fast
How do they not turn that….good job Blow Jays..
Question: Yankee most likely to charge the mound if he feels he got intentionally hit?
My top 3:
Posada
Thames
Swisher
Posada
Posada
Posada.
Posada wouldn’t charge, but he’s definitely most likely to stare back at the pitcher.
No? Guy seems to have a pretty short fuse, I could see him snap.
Ramiro Pena
Brett Gardner
Derek Jeter
and Mo of course.
Secretly Crazy Darkhorse Candidate: Cervelli
Kearns might be a darkhorse too.
agreed
My top three are Posada, Posada and Posada. He has a bad temper. Everyone else is pretty level-headed and can be convinced to back off.
~brain twins~
Haha, yeah. I just saw yours and laughed.
I said Thames because I remember that time earlier in the year, I think it was against Boston – where they threw up and in and he took a step towards the mound and looked pretty pissed.
He usually looks annoyed, but I think Thames is level-headed. He might be pissed, but he’ll take it in stride. That does not apply to Posada.
Yea. Thames almost plays with that “I could be out of the league tomorrow so I don’t give a shit,” kinda attitude. Which is dangerous in a baseball brawl.
Thames would be scary coming at you. Him and Tex would scare the lights out of me when charging.
CC throwing at you and telling you to charge him would be scary.
Yes indeedy.
That’s half-racist.
Swisher went after Vicente Padilla pretty good
http://mlb.mlb.com/multimedia/.....;ym=200709 (Safe, September 16)
haha, awesome.
how have I never seen this? so awesome
i know, further proof of how great swish is and how big a douche padilla is
if somebody gets hit Girardi will charge, just because he’s that passionate
Kearns. He seems serious.
Teix. I think he could explode. We’ve seen little bits like that before.
I would agree, except if he was going to charge I think he would have when Padilla beaned him last year.
I was sitting in the Legends Suite that game last year. I got to hear him yell “This is bullshit, throw the FUCKING ball over the FUCKING plate.” It was glorious.
That is amazing. I love Teix.
Too awesome.
He seems like such a nice/mild-mannered guy, but if he snapped…holy shit. I also think A-Rod could be the same way. I would not want to fight either one of those dudes.
It kind of sounded like you’re describing Superman with the “mild mannered” thing. But I agree. Teix has a long fuse, but I can see him blowing up at some point.
I feel like A-Rod used to be full of rage then he went to a sports therapist. I still remember him screaming, like, fuck you, asshole! at Beckett earlier this year.
When that pussy Varitek, still wearing his mask, shoved him in the face back in ’04 in that Fenway brawl. I remember him clearly screaming “Fuck you!” in that asshole’s face.
Everyone was yelling at Beckett this year. I remember him being an asshole to Cervelli when Cervelli stepped out of the box during one of the earlier Red Sox/Yanks game and Cervelli calmly hit sac-fly and walked towards the dugout yelling “Motherfucker,” in Spanish.
Posada
Posada
Teix (only if Vicente Padilla Is the pitcher)
Rzepynski looks like David Wrights ugly twin brother.
Like a reverse Pettite/Scutaro?
Scutaro’s not bad-looking but he doesn’t look much like Pettitte.
/expert on all things Pettitte’d
Expert huh?
Well, is he well-endowed?
He does have very large hands.
Its not the hands, its the EARS
/guywithlargeears’d
BBTN had Scutaro side by side with J.P. Riccardi. They looked like brothers.
hahaha…they’re promoting Honda CR-Zed Play of the Month. Don’t ever change, Canada, you queen-lovers!
Damn, 2 run dinger off Dellin.
Hill, Lind, and this year now maybe Bautista, what is it with Toronto producing 1 year wonders?
Dr. Galea? Dunno.
Posada is giving multiple signs because the rumors of the cameraman in center stealing signs.
Single sign = Bautista crushes hanging curve last night
Mutliple signs = Bautista whiffs on hanging curve tonight
Coincidence? YOU BE THE JUDGE!
/foxnews’d
That was the least excited homerun call I have ever heard. I mean. Are they sleeping up in the booth?
Monster shot for Tex though. Complete bomb.
“There’s always an expectation that someone is… stealing signs.”
That’s not what I was expecting to hear. Heh.
Red Sox rained out. Do they get King Felix this series ?
Pretty sure he was scheduled to go anyway.
the last game of the series is Lester vs. Felix. Let’s hope their performances go like their last performances…
That’d be nice. It’d be nice if Tampa did us a solid and swept the Sox out of the Trop, too.
Really, the favor would be Boston sweeping Tampa…
If it’s rained out then I’m sure they’re going to have to play two before the M’s leave town. Last road trip in.
Well Boone’s was the only one I was alive for, so I’ll take that one.
brain twins’d again.
I have to vote for Boone on this poll as it’s the only one I was alive for. :/
haha wow ^
Moseley is going to be invaluable when everything is locked up and everyone needs a rest. He just does not pitch a lot of pitches.
2nd throwing error to 1B for Dellin, this one went into the seats.
Not a stellar debut so far.
Holy crap, I switched from the TV to Game Day for a second? The changes look so ugly.
Tex baby!
Woo, Texy!
He Bautista’d that one.
Classy Home Run trot by Teix
Dear Jose,
That is how you hit a HR and not show up the other team.
Sincerely,
Mark Teixiera
No doubt
Perhaps the Yankees have now tapped into the Jays feed to steal signs.
Let’s knock Marc Rumpelstiltskin out of the game.
IETN(ickname)
How is anyone supposed to spell and pronounce that dude’s last name?
It’s pronounced Ruptured Kidney.
Don’t you mean ‘Bruised ego’?
I don’t know. I’m still trying to master Doug “Eye Chart” Mientkiewicz (and, yes, had to look the spelling up…again.)
Flash’s HR call could ruin a wet dream.
Wow he hit that hard. In other news, John Flaherty is so fucking boring.
That was the least excited homerun call I have ever heard. I mean. Are they sleeping up in the booth?
Monster shot for Tex though. Complete bomb.
No audio, no video, just Gameday. The only time you know exactly what happened with the blue dot…. “In play run(s)” with no one on base.
Is it too much to ask to get a Moseley complete game? Please!
I guess I’m being childish and silly but I kinda wanted Tex to trot around and give an exaggerated fist pump at the plate.
The Yankees don’t do that shit. They just beat you into submission.
I know, i know but sometimes being the bigger man is boring. Be a child and rub their noses in it
I don’t think Flash would have gotten excited for Boone’s HR either.
Charlie Steiner!!
Continue to destroy this guy.
Thames yeah!!!
THAMES!
I love you!
Crushed. Love it.
You know, all of us complaining about Bautista’s slow HR trot really shouldn’t be.
Since we have the slowest HR trotter (heh) of all, right?
Thames mashed it, Flash still not excited…
Boom!!!!
BOOM
Yes! Nicely done, Thames.
They call him Mr. Thames!
That’s exactly what I think of when he hits one.
Finish Him!
http://www.toy-tma.com/wp-cont.....sh-Him.gif
I say this to my boss at work when one of my co-workers is being an asshole. She laughs.
One of my favorite video games.
I am older, so I loved Double Dragon like no one’s business.
Cano has walked a lot lately. i like it.
Marcus Thames Bitches.
Let the good Thames roll
Only 5 HRs for Thames? It seems like he’s hit 10 or more. Pour it on!!
Umm…happy Thames are here again?
Well, they were until my brain processed that home run call…
Posada!!!!!!
Holy hell, you guys are really trying to send a message, right? I love it. Keep it rolling.
Seriously, how would Flash have called Boone’s walkoff?
(monotone)”Wakefield with the pitch, Boone hits a fly ball to right field. Looks like the Yankees will win this one.”
hahaha
fuck how did I say right? MEANT LEFT! Argh, strip me of my Yankee fan rights.
IETCVVM.
Back to fucking back. Enjoy fourth place, losers.
back to back bitches, eat it douchebags
What up Jose, where you at now brah?
The Yanks are going to hit this guy right back down to AAA.
Jorge Edgar Allen Poesada
Belly to Belly.
Look What you did Bautista.
JoPo!
I like to think that every HR Posada hits gets him one more vote for the HOF. (Back to back! And belly to belly!)
Jorge Posada will not make the HOF. Just like Andy Pettitte will not.
Quiet you, sob sob.
(We’ve been over this 1086098609 gazillion times but I don’t think Posada will make it, but he deserves it. Pettitte probably won’t make it, but I think he has a better chance than Posada, which is sad because he doesn’t deserve it.)
I was baiting.
Love it!
SADO….
FINISH HIM!!!
FATALITY!!!!!

This is fun.
Dammit Mr. Axisa, that inspirational speech woke the boys up. Damn fine job sir
i guess they decided to open up that can of whoop a$$
Take notes Bautista. Hit ball far, run around bases like a man.
By the way, does anyone think the Yanks are screwing around with their roster a bit too much? If they’re gonna skip Vazquez, why not DL him retroactively. Don’t stick him in the pen, he needs rest and they need arms. Call up Albie or fat Sanchez.
As I said in the other thread, they probably want to give him one more start to see if the extra rest gets him right. If they can start him before the 1st, if he performs poorly they can DL him and still call up a player in time to be eligible for the postseason roster.
Maybe they are just stalling until September call ups. They know help is on the way.
Grandy man!
I’m sure Granderson hopes he stays in the game so he can pad his stats vs LHP lol
Now its time to take out Bautista.
Not yet. Wait til 7th
Too much game left.
Dellin’s line so far
3IP 2R 1ER 2BB 1H
with 2 throwing errors by Dellin.
Romine’s had some trouble with his curve, as well. One went between his legs.
Just made Thames look silly on a curve.
Dellin gets a free pass for whatever he does in AA this year. Always just call it an adjusting period, which is true. Same goes to Banuelos last night.
Yeah, it’s just that I’ve been intrigued by him since the day he was drafted. 1st start in AA is a big day for him.
But the elite players always dominate every level they come up to, immediately. Always.
/the dumb argument when Montero was struggling. Remember those days? They were fun. I’m glad they’re over.’d
Is Flaherty’s voice capable of producing different pitches or tones? These games with the two of them are so painful.
I really don’t get why Kenny just doesn’t do the play by play. He’s nothing special, but he’s much better at it than Flash.
Somebody needs to introduce him to these drugs called uppers. Caffeine. Energy drinks. Cocaine. Pick one and use it.
Leiter!!!!
I actually miss Michael Kay when Flaherty is doing the play by play.
Flaherty makes it seem like Bob Lorenz has an outsized personality.
I actually like Bob Lorenz. I think he’s better than Kay, actually. He has a sense of humor. And boundaries.
I agree. I really enjoy the games he calls. But mostly because he does not take over the game and lets the game play centerstage. And he is more exciting and interesting than Flaherty.
I’m not a huge Kay fan. But one thing he does have, is a personality and opinions.
My problem with Kay is everything. I do miss him when it’s Flash in the booth though (unless Flash is doing something like almost killing Bob Lorenz for a damn foul ball).
hahah. Fair enough. Kay makes my head hurt very often, so I can’t disagree too much.
Flaherty makes it seem like
Bob LorenzHenry Kissenger has an outsized personalityStill better than Hawk Harrelson.
Repeated kicks to the crotch are better than Hawk Harrelson.
I actually like Kay. It always bugs me how many terrible announcers/analysts YES employs. Flaherty, Tino, Nancy Newman, I could even throw Singleton and Lorenz in there to a slightly lesser extent…
YES clearly prefers conservative and boring rather than provocative and outrageous. They take the safe road with hires over and over.
Kay is such an oversized personality that they no doubt purposely try to balance him with more sedate personalities, like Flaherty and Singleton. (Although Singleton is a screamer compared to Flash.) They no doubt want to avoid recreating a Sterling/Waldman match up on TV.
That all said, maybe it’s good for Kay to take a day off everyonce in a while so we actually want him to come back!
“They no doubt want to avoid recreating a Sterling/Waldman match up on TV.”
Or the Sterling/Kay tandem.
Well, he IS Flashbot 3000.
Every Nunez throw is an adventure.
And he was supposedly the guy the Yanks refused to part with in the Cliff Lee trade. I know it has not been long, but he is not exactly impressing.
No that’s not true. It’s Jesus Montero and Eduardo Nunez that Cash didn’t want to give up. Not just Eduardo Nunez. And yes it’s a very small SSS to conclude much yet.
Yea, I realize Montero was the centerpiece. I’m saying Nunez was the proverbial straw that broke the camels back.
I thought it was David Adams and his injured ankle.
Yea. Who knows what really happened. I also heard they really wanted Smoak anyway and was just trying to drive up the Seattle secondary prospects as much as possible.
And they ended up trading for a guy who should have been charged with rape.
Dellin strikes out the side. Nasty curve working.
Sweet K
My boy Joaquin Arias was DFA’d. Pour one out…
Thank Mo the Rangers picked Arias instead of Robbie.
Whatever happened to those two guys dressing up as umpires behind home plate?
Someone probably got tired of them finally and banned them.
Banished to the Yukon Territory.
Bud hired them. Figured they couldn’t be any worse.
Think ima go listen to Sterling go wild.
Was it Ross in Jersey who was wishing we would run the starter out early? Wish granted.
Yes, you can all thank me for reverse-jinxing it!
Well done.
haha wow…just heard Cano’s WCBS before inning promo for the first time. That is tremendous with no pause at all…
“‘dis is Robbie Cano don’tcha know…”
lol @ the Thames call. He sped up his call because it was hit so hard.
I was showering, so can someone tell me how we scored four more runs?
Also, Brian Tallet has a disgusting beard.
HR’s by Tex, Thames and Posada. One of them was a 2-run shot, though I cannot remember whose it was.
Dingers!
this so made me laugh, just because everyone else was more descriptive
Tex HR, Thames 2 Run HR, and Posada HR.
Tex homered, Cano walked, Thames homered, Posada homered.
Also, Brian Tallet has a disgusting beard.
This.
He has a beard only a Canadian could love.
He has a beard only a Canadian could love.
I laughed.
(pumps fist)
Thank you guys. Of all times for me to go shower, I miss three homers…
If you only heard Flaherty’s calls, you would have thought they were only three flyouts to left.
You cant take steroids, but apparently , you CAN be a fucking Wolfman
“Clap For The Wolf Man” by the Guess Who. A Canadian band.
Does Joe have a quick hook on Moseley tonight?
We’ll have John Flaherty call you to recap the HRs. He’ll help you fall asleep much quicker.
For anyone complaining about Kay, listen to the AA Trenton guy.
http://www.rider.edu/175_16702.htm
He sounds like a nasal kid toucher.
“Here’s the pitch from Dellin…why hello little boy, would you like some candy?”
Sooooo want to make a joke there.
Don’t bother. It’s tough to beat “nasal kid toucher”.
Well I could just substitute a proper name that rhymes with “Shmedroia.’
Now stop that. We have no idea if he’s nasal or not.
Nostra, since you’re the Dellin coverage man tonight, how many strikeouts does he have?
See below. Full recap.
Thought that was a GIDP off the bat. Got excited. Boohoo.
Stupid walk
C’mon, Moseley.
way to go Dustin.
How dare a spot-starter give up runs.
Not the run he gave up, it’s the fact that he walked Escobar in front of Bautista.
That’s fair.
Not acceptable when your team has a $200 million payroll. Every player must be both an MVP candidate AND a Cy-Young candidate. Every player.
/Poopy Pants’d
well done, beat me to it
All I am saying is, with a 6 run lead, you don’t walk Escobar with Bautista batting behind him.
Wasn’t really going after you, more in reference to what bexy said.
C’mon, Mose.
Wonderful.
C’mon, Dustin. Get your ground ball and go from there.
C’mon Dustin. Just when I was about to put you in my top 5 favorite Dustins, you go and do this.
Name them!
Dustin Keller, Dustin Diamond… shit he might be there anyway just by default.
Damage control time. Come on, Dustin.
I can’t fault Robbie for playing where he was since Bautista is a dead pull hitter, but ugh that not-double-play hurts.
If this game wasn’t played on the abomination that is turf, that probably is a GIDP.
I hope Joe has a quick hook tonight with Moseley.
Oh how I love it when Hill fails!
Wow does Aaron Hill suck.
I have a feeling if Bautista tries to score on a sac fly, it will be the one time in his career that Jorge will actually block the plate. Might even throw in an elbow or two.
Kinda wanted to see that happen. Oh well.
A knee to the throat would be nice as well.
/unlady like.
Well, that depends on what you are into
you keep saying unlady like, but I like a good knee to the throat. It makes you feel alive
Not really my thing…I like to breathe.
Breathing First, then Winning
/BOSS’D
*removes hat, places it over heart*
Alright, Mose, all you need is one more out. You’re pretty okay at this pitching thing, so you can do this.
Cousin Mose? http://www.rockiescast.com/blo.....n-mose.jpg
That is scary. I was just shortening his last name.
Keep it at 5, please.
The talk of Javy in the bullpen gives me horrible flashbacks
I prefer to think of him making Youkilis look stupid in that one game where he came out of the bullpen this year. La la la.
/eternal optimist’d
One of my favorite Javy moments of the year. There are unfortunately, not many. I do love Javy though. I wish he was better. *cries into hands*
that was sweet, thanks for the reminder
Attaboy.
There we go, well done Dustin, all things considered.
Damage. Control. Well done, Dustin. Well done.
just 1 run, 50 something pitches through 4, i’ll take it

But be sure to get Mike’s take on it, which I can not duplicate.
The way you phrased this makes it sound as though you have advance knowledge of the DotF.
(pssst…don’t tell anyone I said this, but Dellin will be on the Dot-F. Bet the farm.)
Thames one of the best signings (non All-star division) in recent memory.
as long as he stays off the field defensively
haha and they continue to utilize they way they’ve been doing.

Although not opposite field
Wow. Half correct.
Damn close.
OK wrong direct but you get the idea lol

Fuck yeah, Grandyman! Schooling the Jays is my new favorite thing ever.
Watch it leave, Jose. Just watch it leave.

OHH the Grandyman can
They’re busy being comforted by Austin Jackson’s 2 HRs and 130Ks.
NYYFans.
/literal answer’d
Granderson HR off a lefty? mind = blown
Curtis is good at baseball
It’s so nice to be better than every team we play…
Muhahahahahahahahahaha!!!
Did…did Granderson just go deep on a lefty? On a breaking ball?
#ycpb
This is the opposite of suckiness.
Wow. I never thought of Singleton as an excitable guy, but after listening to Flaherty, Singleton was positively Kay-like on that.
Flaherty voice is a monotone. Stays on the same plane no matter what happens.
JIMP
Love that Grandy is hitting against lefties. Although it is a SSS it is better than seeing him K or grounding out.
we should probably put kevin long on the 40 man so we don’t lose him. ever.
hahaha not at a bad idea.
Nooo! Bring back Gary Denbo!
Well Jeter joined the party!!!!
I LOVE Granderson.
Jeter!!!!!!!!
THE CAPTAIN!! Finally, Derek. I’m so proud.
im liking this.
Jeter HR, lmao at this, what a joke of a game by the blue gays
Your user name is awesome but please don’t use “gay” as an insult. Thanks.
I asked, and they followed through. Love this time. Love ‘em.
See Jose, THAT’S why you don’t rile up the Yankees.
Derek was just mad at all of you that say those mean things about him
1 run away from meeting my primary objective.
More of those please, Derek.
Mike, you got your wish my brother.
Couldn’t ask for two better guys (Jeter and Granderson) to hit homeruns to show Bautista what a little class is.
I think its safe to say this game is a loud “FUCK YOU JOSE”
Fuck, now the Yankees are going to be forced to give this guy 4y/80m
GO DJ!
Surprised by how Jeter’s next contract changes by 40 mil with one at bat.
Bautista is paying for his sins!!!
I don’t think he’ll ever piss the Yankees off again.
SPREAD IT ON!!!!!!!!
DEEP AND THICK
Well hopefully Moseley is ready to go deep in the game, because I don’t want to see him out til at least 110 pitches.
Nicely done, Overbay. Almost injure your pitcher. Best thing ever right now.
I really think the Yankees are trying to hit as many homers as they can tonight.
Overbay trying to take his own pitcher out of the game.
anyone see hanley walk over the pitchers mound, but he actually seemed to STOMP on the rubber?
classy
If that was in Oakland, Braden would have come out and kicked his ass. Or would attempt to.
Overbay is a fucking nutcase with fly balls. Every ball is not his. I thought Aaaron Hill was going to punch him in the face last night after he would not be called off that foul ball to end the game.
This feels like the purely baseball version of Graham Lloyd running in from the bullpen to punch Armando Benitez.
SUCK IT CANADA
USA! USA! USA!

Haha…I remember that movie.
Oh man I’m glad I stayed up to watch this*
*May have stayed up to see Jose getting plunked but this will do instead.
Anyone know where you can get splits of how a player has hit LHP and RHP by month? BRef has LHP, RHP, and month by month, but not a combination.
Fangraphs
Look for the player then on top right above the stats are splits. Should be what you are looking for.
Saw that too. Don’t think there was a month by month break down of vs. LHP and vs. RHP. I’ll check again though. Thanks.
Bexy, Pettitte looks bored! =(
Well hopefully he pitches this weeks and gets less bored. Having him September may be the difference between Minny and the Rangers.
Both those teams are brutal (in a good way). I’d rather win the division, of course, but acting like Minny is a pushover is silly. IMO.
I MISSED IT I AM SO MAD.
I really don’t think any Pettitte-in-the-dugout moments compare to this, which I found today:
http://i35.tinypic.com/2wntn9i.jpg
No comment on this except… damn. *_*
Awww…snuggles. *saves picture* Is that Alex? I can’t tell because of the shadow from the hat.
haha the second I saw it I was like RIGHT CLICK SAVE all over that shit. ;P
And yes, it’s Alex.
“Hold me Andy…we have Molina AND Ransom due up in the next inning.”
Ahahahahhahahah (they scored that inning!!! Ransom doubled!)

#Dodgers put Kuroda on waivers. Rival exec: “I guarantee #Yankees are all over it.” Kuroda owed about $2.7M. Lilly not yet on waivers. #MLB
Rosenthal…
That would be a pretty awesome pickup if all it takes is money, which it won’t.
speculation is awesome
Would take him if he was cheap, but doubt he gets to Yankees.
But he wouldnt clear all the way to the Yanks anyway, would he ?
Who would take him? I can think of only the Reds and Braves.
2.7 is a nice chunk of change for most teams.
And he’s on my fantasy team! That would be awesome, yet quite unrealistic.
Meh, I’m underwhelmed.
What don’t you like? He’s not an ace, but he’s upgrade over everyone in the rotation not named CC.
Upgrade over Hughes?
How do you think his stuff will translate from the NL West to the AL East? I’m asking, I don’t know.
Stuff is fine, he’s legitimately in the low-to-mid 90′s (link) with a slider and a splitter. Well above average swinging strike rate (10.3%, the only guys in double digits on the Yanks staff are relievers). He also crushed the Red Sox in Fenway earlier this season:
http://www.baseball-reference......6200.shtml
Only problem is that he’s gotten hurt a bit the last two years, but that’s a minimal risk at this point of the season.
Thanks bro. I am changing my position to whelmed.
very much agree… How old is Kuroda ?
35.
35, I would take him as a rental for 2.7m for the rest of the year, good insurance for the rotation
RAB posters: Please pluck Batista in the head
Yankees: Lets just play Home Run Derby and beat the shit outta them

IETVVVM.
Farmer Hoggett: That’ll do pig, that’ll do.
Is it just me or does ump hate the blue jays. No complaints, just saying…
I guess we’re in beast mode now, no?
So what is the deal with Kuroda is he a free agent next year because if he is he would be an interesting piece for any contending team.
Yep, free agent after the season.
If Lee does not fall through, I would not mind seeing the Yankees giving Kuroda a deal, but once again NL pitchers always make me cautious.
Dusting just gettin er done. Nice.
To the author: Please write an entry about how you want to see the Yankees win every single game for the rest of the season, including the 11 post-season games.
Thank you.
PS: Also how the entire starting lineup gets to a .300 average by season’s end.
Jeter basically needs to hit .300 to have a good OBP.
The Yankees have shown this tonight:

Great night, Mark. Don’t have anymore kids this year.
His next child will come next year. He celebrates World Series wins in his own way.
If Tex celebrates his WS wins by having kids, then he’ll have a small nation by the time his contract is up.
I would not complain about overpopulation if it means more Yankees WS wins. He can do what he wants. Just bring us the titles, baby.
Titles = Baby
But that means we have to deal with him being unbearably selfish by gasp missing two days to be with his newborn child. Truly, we are such a tortured fanbase.
lol…He should be at the park. Playing and ignoring his family. He’ll see them when he retires.
(not joking, I actually heard someone say this on the 4 train)
At the rate this Yankee team is going, he’ll have all the time in the world to see them in October!!!!!

Meh. They proved their point
Ehh, winning is the best revenge. Don’t need to hit him when they’re up 10 runs.
Yeah I think a Moseley fist pump would be nice, but Moseley shutting them down is nice too if not nicer.
SWEEP THE LEG.
This all over.
GET HIM A BODY BAG YEAHHHHH
I love how Kevin Long has helped Granderson.
It amuses me when IRL friends call me during Yankee games because I can never pay attention. Yes, even in games like this.
I get people want Bautista hit, but let’s grow up and chill out with the head hunting nonsense
I don’t want him hit in the head. A nice shot to the ribs or wrist will do nicely.
Yeah really. Chances are the guy’s got a wife and/or kids. I got what I wanted out of this game, Bautista can bat flip his way to golf course all October if he wants.
I wouldn’t mind seeing Gaudin come in and showing Bautista what a real intentional pitch looks like. There is taking your time around the bases and then there is last night. This game is over, it won’t effect the out come, and he actually deserves it.
I really don’t think it’s worth the fight. He’ll feel like shit come October when he’s watching the Yankees win the World Series on TV.
And by October I mean November.
Let’s be honest he’ll be banging a bunch of canadian hotties while making it rain with monopoly money on the top floor of the CN tower.
And I won’t care cause we’ll be in the playoffs.
Canadian and hotties does not compute for me. And we shouldn’t care what he does. But it’s not worth the fight. Which was my point.

Granderson, not a bad player after all.
I’ll take that.
Now hit 11 more homers so we can double them up 22-2.
/greedy’d
All these OF assists are sexy
Seriously, did we ever have 2 OF assists in one game from 04-08?
We probably did. Sheffield and Abreu were pretty good at throwing the ball back into the infield. They just sucked at actually catching the ball or getting to the ball to catch it in the first place.
Good times, bro.
I’ll always have a special place in my heart for Raekwon the Sheff.
Everything about him was violent, even the non-violent parts of him.
Bautista should totally fist-pump after scoring that huge run
Taking extra base to score while 9 runs down is not playing the right way

If by “goofy looking” you mean “mega hot as always” then yes I agree.

Scoring lots of runs is a pretty good way to show ‘em up.

Oh shit.
Oh shit. Please no. No major injuries, please.
NO DON’T TAKE SWISH
Please be okay Swish!!!
Ouch.
Reality Check
Please be ok! =(
Not that I enjoyed watching it, but honestly … how many guys wouldn’t flip the bat and jog home after getting thrown at earlier? Forty homers…damn yo.
I actually agree. The bat flip AND the super slow trot AND the glare at David Robertson (who didn’t have anything to do with what had happened earlier) AND the fistpump was a bit much, and of course I was pissed that he did that as a Yankee fan, but… whatever.
i can;t believe he’s staying in there
Just take him out and ice it down before it swells.
Craaaap Swisher
He looks okay though. Right? Right? ;_;
I don’t like this. I don’t like it at all. Please be okay, Swish.
http://sports.espn.go.com/new-.....id=5494501
What’s my favorite part of this story? The fact that Revis might be ending his holdout and reporting to camp with a new contract, you say? No.
My favorite part is this line from the opening paragraph:
And directly to the right of that sentence, a “Darrelle Revis Holdout” countdown clock… showing TWENTY-THREE DAYS and counting.
UndisputableFAIL.
Also: it’s “indisputable”, not “undisputable”.
Oh that is epically beautiful.
How much should the Jets give Revis?
Q: How much should the Jets give Revis?
A: Yes.
Word.
Fuck!!!
what hap to swish?
Just got back from my families house. Was watching the game. This game is awesome.
Clearly it’s a bruised pulled quad-calf-string.
Shit, I missed it. What happened to Swisher?
He fouled a ball off his knee and went down immediately.
I can’t believe Swish was in there that long. It’s a 9 run game man, get in the clubhouse and ice that shit.
Someone shoulda told Gritty Grutner that he inherted a 2-2 count. How does a good game go bad? If Swish is out for any amount of time and Bautista not getting drilled!
The Yankees know how to play baseball without being classless fools. Drilling Bautista will not prove anything. Showing him and his team that they’re nothing but a fourth place division team going nowhere, while simultaneously hitting home runs left and right, will send a louder, clearer message. Also, this is still a good game.
Oh come on, Chad.
Jorge took a dive on that pitch, just like that High School kid did a few years back.
The 2010 Jays are fast rising on the list of most anoying Yankee opponents…even when we win, someone gets hurt
They are a fucking pain in the ass, I’d rather play Boston than these douches.
/I shouldn’t say this’d
It’s true though. Boston, however, is so decrepit at this point that it’s sad and hilarious. They don’t pose a major threat to us so they’ve suddenly become boring.
Said the same thing last night. I’m starting to hate the Jays more.
Now I just want somebody to break Bautista’s ribs.
Hit this asshole!!!
C’mon Chad.. up and in.
Stop fucking walking people!
It’s 11-2…
Exactly. Throw it over the god damn plate.
No! Don’t pull Bautista, we haven’t hit him in the head yet!
It’s easier to hit him while he’s sitting in the dugout. He’ll never expect it.
Nice. I like the way you think, cowboy.
Oh come on Chad.
Gaudin….oy….
I really don’t like Chad Gaudin. I know we’re ahead, but the sight of him irks me.
He looks weirdly smug
I’ve never noticed his smugness, but the fact that he’s terrible and on my favorite team annoys me.
i like him when he’s in the bullpen eating cookies, where he belongs. Otherwise, not a fan.
And this is what happens when you walk guys. Fucking ridiculous.
Chad Gaudin is not good at baseball.
Ugh.
Maybe he should have used Mitre? He’s been using Gaudin a lot lately.
Mitre is a legit long man. Chad is the worst reliever in the pen, who should be used in a 9 run game. unforunately he still sucks even for this.
Mitre is a legit scrub.
Well Chad WTF ?
asdfghjkl;’ Gaudin you suck.
Why does Gaudin continually get in games? Not that he’s much better, but what about Mitre? He hasn’t pitched in 5 days…
I know I shouldn’t care because an 11-5 win and an 11-2 win are both wins…
but I really wanted to crush them, and 11-5 is much less crushy than 11-2.
We’ll have to score 11 more runs.
Let’s do it.
LET’S DO IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!
/SenatorJohnBlutarsky’d
Agreed. Which is why I really want to see Chad Gaudin go away.
When keeping it real goes wrong!
My phone stopped updating. What happened?
Gaudin blew up slightly and gave up three runs.
Gaudin decided to start giving up pissrods all over the park. 11-5 now.
Canada didnt pay the bill
hits and runs.
Once Aceves gets back, that’s gotta spell the end for Gaudin’s tenure.
Seems like the obvious move.
Or… wait until September 1 to activate Ace, and keep Gaudin around for mop up.
I vacillate between him and Mitre. It’s not like choosing the right one there is gonna make or break the season, though.
Nooooooooooo
Tex can’t get hit number five. No passion.
#competedammit
Have I told you how much I enjoy this meme?
No you have not.
Wait, Joba what? I DOn’t BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SAW!
Okay, I understand not burning the bullpen, but keeping him out there is kinda lame.
Nova being a clown with Robbie. Adorable. Ugh. Gaudin.
+1
Oh good, more walks. Seriously, one more baserunner and get him the fuck out.
Chad Gaudin doesn’t like the strike zone, strikezonaphobia! Scary disorder.
How adorable that you’re all chanting “Yankees suck” when your team is down 6 runs. Just precious.
And 11.5 in the standings.
That too.
Can’t believe Joe G left this guy in
It’s still a 6 run lead… I can’t believe you’re complaining
There’s ALWAYS something to complain about.
Some Yankee fans complain about six-run leads. Pirate fans pray to have six-run leads…any leads.

19. Antonio Gates, TE SD - 90
20. Ben Roethlisberger, QB PIT - 90
————
That seems too high for Fitzgerald, Brady, Reed, Gates, and Roethlisberger and too low for CJ2K, Super Mario, Haloti Ngata (#26) and Jon Beason (a criminally low #42).
Jahri Evans (#46) and Justin Tuck (#61) are also way lower than they should be.
http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/features/scouting
How the hell is Ray Rice not on this list?
He’s #95. That’s way too low as well, but Rice certainly isn’t top 20 material, probably not top 40 either.
lolfantasy, but I’ve seen Rice go before Peterson in a lot of fantasy drafts. Dude’s really underrated.
Oh, sure, in fantasy Rice is worth a lot more, especially in PPR leagues. Rice is a top-4 player fantasy-wise.
A top 20 best-of list without TIM TEBOW??? What a joke!1l
Fun Fact: The Detroit Lions have only two players in the top 200 (#54 Calvin Johnson, #151 Louis Delmas). The Rams also have only two (#51 Steven Jackson and #171 Jason Brown
Are they the “best” in that order though? A CB doesn’t have the same value that a QB does. You wouldn’t make a list of the ‘best’ baseball players and put Mo in front of CC or let’s say Carl Crawford. Eh, I guess it doesn’t say ‘most valuable’.
And yea they’re different sports, so they’re not completely analogous I know.
Eduardo Nunez is preordained by God to swing at every first pitch.
Nunie!
Nicely done, Nunez.
Nunez is freakin fast
Fast Eddie.
I would be happy with anything that is not a double play, Jeter.
you can be happy then.
Not necessarily.
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kVjb.....0/liar.jpg
I’m amused…lol.
Well, you got your wish. Somehow I feel empty inside.
I didn’t mean a strike out either, but I was half-expecting it.
I’d rather Jeter GIDP here. That way he can get a hit in a closer game.
/baseball doesn’t work like that’d
Aaron Ross is already wearing a boot and can’t practice. Plantar Fasciitis is a bad condition to have when the position demands you to pedal back and then explode. WTF!
I’m starting to wish we had traded down and drafted Kyle Wilson.
I’d rather have Wilson than JPP as well, but JPP is a very nice consolation prize. I think you’ll be pleased in the long run.
Speaking of JPP, he tweaked a groin. Just looked at TC’s news conference – and the injury list is mind-blowing:
http://www.giants.com/news/tra.....y_id=44227
Back to the game – Mr Wood has looked pretty darn good
Perhaps. The news on Canty, Sintim, the OL, Brandon “my-game-is-talking-trash” Jacobs, and now Ross’s lower leg condition is already pissing me off.
Trying to stay positive.
Wow, shows that I haven’t been paying attention yet. Didn’t know Canty and Sintim were hurt again.
I said they could go anywhere between 5-11 and 10-6, mainly depending on the injuries. This is not an inspiring start.
My bad. I wasn’t clear. Canty is hurt, but Sintim is playing like utter shit and he’s going to lose snaps. Sintim’s healthy but hasnt impressed anybody.
I don’t think this is Big Blue’s year. Seems like you need one more good draft class for more depth/talent. That defense doesn’t have playmakers outside of the DE rotation.
If Kenny Phillips can get all the way back, though, that’s a big, big help.
And it’s a big “if.” I think Rolle will make plays, and I would sure hope Webster and Ross do, too. But now it sounds like Ross could have another lost season and Webster needs to get back to his ’07 playoff-’08 level.
Linebacking corps is still highly suspect.
Yeah, you’ve got some great building blocks (Tuck, Osi, JPP, Kiwi, Rolle, Eli, Nicks, Smith, Barden, Cruz) but the OL is showing age and the LB and DB corps just don’t have differencemakers. One good draft and a free agent or two would help mightily.
Wait, he’s got plantar fasciitis?
FUCK!
Maybe the G-Men can sign his wife to fill in for him. She’s fast enough to cover most NFL wideouts.

Cuter, too.
Tomorrow will make it two straight days where both the Yankee and Blue Jays starters had identical ERAs coming into the game.
Eerie.

Also isn’t that Mondesi bait?
Indeed.
Hughes: 3.903
Cecil: 3.896
Rounding is fun.
What are they chanting? Kerry’s on juice?
Yeah, I have no idea. I thought I heard “Let’s go steroids!” before and now I think I’m hearing “Let’s go juice!” but that… can’t be right.
MARRY THAT MOOSE!
MARRY THAT MOOSE!
/CanadianBestiality’d
That. is hilarious.
It gets cold in the winter. Sometimes you need a big old cuddly, wooly deer to keep you warm at night.
*dead*
Man wood is just nasty
TWSS.
I love watching Kerry Wood pitch.
I want him in as a part of the 2011 pen.
Definitely. I’d love to see both him and Kearns back.
That was satisfactory.
The Yankees Win, theeeeee Yankees WINNNNNNNNNNN!!!!
The thread last night really had a ridic number of posts, heh. Good win.
Nova’s first start and Bautista’s theatrics helped that along
I get the feeling DotF is going to be very arousing – Dellin was dealin’
And Ace might not be ready just yet
great win!
K-Wood is straight nasty, really hope he comes back next year if he keeps this up
since coming to NY he’s been almost Mo-like
Wood has as many walks since joining the Yankees as Mo has had all season
Holy fuckshit.
*minus the walks, lol
still i’m really impressed, seems like coming to a contender is what he needed
