Stick around and discuss the game
as it happens in the comments section.
here we go guys. time to shit or get off the pot.
ReplyDeleteAndy's not helping with these walks.
ReplyDeleteAt least he got out of it, 24 pitches is way too much though. Andy needs to give this team some length.
ReplyDeleteCOME ON YANKS, LET'S GET SOME RUNS !!!
ReplyDeletethats what she said
ReplyDeletewow he pulled that tater out of his ass. what a stinky swing
ReplyDeletelol,
ReplyDeletenice start Johnny!
YA DAMON!!!
ReplyDeletegay-rod cant catch a cold...
ReplyDeleteHow was that A-Rod's fault?
ReplyDeleteMOLINA COMES THRU!!!
ReplyDeleteWTF? I didnt say that.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha, I know, the email for your comment had you saying, "I was just wondering - who has a bigger coconut? Matsui or Michael Kay? I'm betting on Kay. He walked right by me in the Yankees offices one day and that shit is BIG. Yeah MOMO"
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what happened.
Why can't Pettitte hold a fucking lead?
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly the opposite type of performance the Yankees needed from Pettitte.
ReplyDeleteWay to go A-Choke.
ReplyDeleteA SHIT really sucks.
ReplyDeleteBB
Pettitte sucks and the Yankees are dead.
ReplyDeleteYou absolutely suck Pettitte. Why dont you, Jeter, Mariano, Arod get the blankety-blank out of here. We dont want you anymore on this team. The bum Pettitte can pitch good against the horrible hitting Blue Jays and that's it. CASHMAN YOU HAVE DONE A TERRIBLE JOB BUILDING A TEAM.
ReplyDeleteJeter has to be the worst fielding SS in the game next to Lugo. He has absolutely no range whatsoever.
What a disaster. Terrible performance by Pettitte, especially considering how big a game this was.
ReplyDelete6-2? This ones fucking over. Thanks Andy.
ReplyDeletethis ump behind the plate has the worst strike zone i have ever seen. every batter pettitte should have been ahead. these 3 runs should not have scored. bad job by pettitte, but this ump is a piece of shit.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the ump has been terrible, but 6 runs is 6 runs.
ReplyDeleteits not over, we almost hit 3 homers last inning, we can score 4.
ReplyDeleteNo it's not over - Nice shot Johnny, 6-3 now - but it's frustrating seeing Pettitte get hit like that. He needs to be a leader on this staff, and he's just not doing it.
ReplyDeletePU same stinky swing
ReplyDeleteBig spot for A-Rod here... what does he do...
ReplyDeleteOh geeez, not A-Choke.
ReplyDelete... and he does nothing... Good I'm glad he got boo'ed.
ReplyDelete1st and 2nd with one out and the 4 and 5 hitters coming up, and what happens? Nothing. This is why there will be no October baseball in New York folks.
ReplyDeleteA SHIT is a joke.Giambi sucks as well
ReplyDeleteI really can't believe Giambi is still batting 5th.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fucking joke. This is all on Pettitte. He didn't show up today.
ReplyDeleteDamon sucks. He hits a HR when no one is on base but doesn't do jack shit when he has 1st and 3rd. Red Sox have no problems hitting with RISP. The bum Yankees can't hit nothing except when it doesn't matter. They are absolutely useless. Another disgraceful performance by Cashman's wonderful team that he has assembled. Feinsand will probably write an article tomorrow telling us good of a job Cashman has done.
ReplyDeleteThe trade that keeps on giving.
ReplyDeleteOkay 3-4-5 hitters, you're set up. DO SOMETHING!
ReplyDeleteIt always comes down to A-Rod, doesn't it? It's amazing.
ReplyDeleteYanks down 7-3, with Bases loaded, one out, and of course A-Rod is up. Just hit a single.
COME ON A-ROD!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's was pathetic.
ReplyDeleteArod is the worst player ever. Cashman is THE biggest moron in MLB and he proves it every day.
ReplyDeletei knew it, as soon as jeter got on i knew he would do that with the bases loaded. fuck you arod! that marks the end of the season. its now...over.
ReplyDeleteWow, booing him when he fields a ground ball... nice job people.
ReplyDeleteI fucking hate A-Rod, why couldn't Cashman just let him walk away this past offseason?
ReplyDeletequit teasing us, its just hoing to make this loss more painful.
ReplyDeleteYou never know...
ReplyDeleteJust hit it in the fucking outfield next time cano!!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe they're going to waste another opportunity. This game is a good representation for why this team blows.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to be optimistic under these conditions
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to be optimistic under these conditions
ReplyDeleteWe'll never win again as long as ARod is on the team. They have to do something about it. I can't take 9 more years of this.
ReplyDeleteGod Dammit
ReplyDeleteA-Rod is one of the best players in the league
ReplyDeleteStatistically anyway...
ReplyDeleteMy sentiments exactly about Arod. I didn't want him in the off-season and I don't want him now. I don't want him for 9 more years.
ReplyDeleteCashman had no business and no right to sign him to 10 years. The fans didn't want it. Well, that is fans with brains.
If Cashman doesn't trade Arod then I am going to quit being a Yankee fan after 35 years and I will smear them any chance I cant get. Your choice Cashman.
Arod is one of the most overrated players in the league. He has never won anything. And, he never will. He's a loser.
ReplyDeleteHe has the highest batting average on the yankees right now
ReplyDeleteDoesn't he?
He is just prone to performance slumps and the worst times
ReplyDeleteWho cares if he has the highest batting average. He's a choke artist who is not clutch. He hits well when it doesn't count. Not my problem you like a BUM who has never won anything. He's a joke of a player and an even worse person. I hope the Yankees organization and the loser Yankee fans like you that support him enjoy 10 years of nothing which will be 100% due to Arod and his horrendous play. I'd rather have Bubby Crosby comign up with the bases loaded than A-FRAUD.
ReplyDeleteThat flushing sound you just heard was the Yankee season down the crapper. This is the most unlikable team they have had in 15 years. Once again no heart, Damon was the exception, and A-rod will save his big hits for next week when they are all but out of it. By the way, all the people yapping about what a great captain Jeter is......Can you just point out one example of him making his teammates better? How is his mentoring of Cano going? I'm out. College football can't get here quickly enough.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are blaming Cashman for bringing back Arod. It was Arod who called Hal/Hank that got the ball rolling.
