Where is Matsui? Why does Girardi constantly switch up the order every damn day?

Anonymous said...

great start Andy

Greg Cohen said...

Down two with a runner on 2nd with nobody out in the 1st and you bunt? What is Jeter doing?

Anonymous said...

I don't get it either.

Pettitte sucks.

This team needs a good performance and this is what he gives them, and now they're gonna lose a second straight to the Royals. This team is done.

Anonymous said...

They still have a shot at the wild card, if Ortiz comes back to the Sox this or next month, then the division is over. (The Sox will probably win without him).I never really liked our chances this year. Preseason I said we wouldn't make the playoffs, but finishing 3rd or 4th is unacceptable.

Anonymous said...

Yea they have a "shot," but come on, they're awful.

Greg Cohen said...

Alright, nice little rally here...

Greg Cohen said...

Tie game! Woo hoo!

Anonymous said...

Wow I can't believe they tied it. They looked completely dead.

Greg Cohen said...

Aw sh*t Meacham strikes again.

Anonymous said...

and then it ends when Jeter cant get Cabrera in, he should have stayed, not deep enough and Guillen has a gun.

Greg Cohen said...

Meacham needs to go, he's worse than send em' home Sojo.

Anonymous said...

has anyone else noticed that Jeter kills alot of rallies, w/ DP'S and K's. I guess he stands out because I always expect him to come through.

Greg Cohen said...

He led the team in DPs last year, so yes I've noticed it.

Anonymous said...

yeah if we still had Bowa we'd probably have 3 or 4 more wins, maybe more because of Bowa's effect on Cano.- Pettitte is settling in.

Greg Cohen said...

Bowa was a great 3rd base coach, aggressive, but smart. Unlike Meacham who is mindlessly aggressive.

THE GIAMBINO STRIKES AGAIN !!!

Anonymous said...

Is Giambi on roids again?!? Whatever it is I like it, that was another moon shot.

Greg Cohen said...

I really, really hope not, but I can't say I haven't thought about that possibility.

Unknown said...

You cant honestly think that with the rigorous testing done, ESPECIALLY in giambis case, with a minimum 3 tests a year, theres no way he can bang out enough cycles and get clean in the amount of time that would actually help your performance, so come on guys.

The issue (and the era) is done.

Greg Cohen said...

You can't test for HGH yet.

Anonymous said...

of course! I knew that was going to happen!

Greg Cohen said...

I don't understand how you leave him in to face Guillen. I know the pen isn't great, but he was at 110 pitches, he already gave up a bomb to him. I just don't get it. Girardi is the real Clueless Joe.

Unknown said...

Wow. That is gonna ruin my day. I had a feeling the outcome of that atbat was gonna make or break girardi and pettitte in this game.. and on a 2-2 pitch its all over.

Im gonna go to the beer garden in astoria cause its a gorgeous day for commiserating with beautiful women and drinking heavily. Any takers?

Unknown said...

Greg,

Well if you wanna get technical, Anon was talking about 'Roids, and we all know now Roids are not the same as HGH... ;) haha.

Greg Cohen said...

Enjoy the beer, and ladies.

Anonymous said...

ok about the roids, I wasn't serious. There's no way he would be able to get away with using them again. I was just suprised about this power surge. Maybe he likes the hot weather.

Unknown said...

AND... every doctor who prescibed forms of HGH and companies that have distributed it have all been documented, you cant test for it, but you can track the shipping, haha.

Im just glad thats not something that will ever come up again. fingers crossed.

Unknown said...

now THAT's the homer he shouldve hit off Davies for 5 hondo... haha

Greg Cohen said...

Wow, what a shot!

Given to Fly Photography said...

What an absolutely horrible outing by andy, I thought he knew how to pitch, He should be embarrased by that performance against the royals, no less.

Anonymous said...

Pinch hit Matsui for Betemit!

Greg Cohen said...

YEA JOHNNY!!!!

AND WE ARE TIED!!!

Unknown said...

NEVER woulda seen that coming. Wow.

Greg Cohen said...

Unreal.

The fight back from 4 down twice to have Mo give that up.

Unknown said...

Cant blame anyone, kid got a hold of one.

"He Be-it me... Stray-Tup... Pay dat Me-an hes me-oney.."

Any guessers? haha

Unknown said...

Time for Morgan Ensberg's Thoughts From The Couch:

"It's so hot.... (looks down at his glass)

.. Milk was a bad choice."

Greg Cohen said...

HOLY SHIT JORGE TIED IT!

Is this game really happening?

Unknown said...

FUCKIN RIGHT MOTHER FUCKER!!!! One pitch on Mo... you get One pitch on Soria mother fucker! There can be only ONE....

Anonymous said...

yep!

Anonymous said...

you see Abreu's reaction? Looks like he wanted to lose and get it over with.

Greg Cohen said...

Unbelievable.

Greg Cohen said...

Yea I don't understand that reaction either, or Melky's.

Unknown said...

Cant put in Matsui here, cause youd have to take Giambi out of the game or double switch, only alternative is Shelley. But Betemit is battin lefty, Ill keep that.

Anonymous said...

lets go Damon, goin for the 6 pack.

Anonymous said...

YES!!!!!!!!!!! GO JOHNNY GO!!! BIG JOHN!!!

Unknown said...

LETS DRINK SIX FOR JOHNNY!!!!

Greg Cohen said...

DAMON DOES IT !!!!
