Stick around and discuss the game
as it happens in the comments section.
There you go A-Rod. Nice AB.
ReplyDeleteVery good at-bat, that wild pitch was huge.
ReplyDeleteRasner fucking blows.
ReplyDeleteCan they stop using this bum? He's really not a major league pitcher.
What, did you really expect him to pitch a shutout?
ReplyDelete2 runs is no big deal, the Yanks just need to score against Parrish, who isn't a Cy Young award winner himself.
The one thing that's really bothering me is all these 0-2 hits, that's the time to expand the zone, not throw meatballs.
Nice!
ReplyDeleteHoly shit! Did Pudge just do something?
ReplyDeleteYes, he homered. I'm shocked myself.
ReplyDeleteUNBELIEVABLE!!!
ReplyDeleteDamn it Nady. He's starting to fall into a slump. He's 3 for his last 17.
ReplyDeleteHIDEKI!!!
ReplyDeleteBig hit for Matsui and the Yanks. They really needed that.
Great job by Matsui, they couldn't let that opportunity go by without adding some run.
ReplyDeleteHow long is Girardi going to leave Rasner in this game? Is he waiting for the lead to be gone?
ReplyDeleteAny news on Giese's rehab? He gets lost in the Joba fray, understandably, but hed be a great guy to have right now. Case in point this inning. ha.
ReplyDeleteThe error didn't help, but I know what you mean. Oh well, here he comes.
ReplyDeleteHe's gonna throw a bullpen session on Tuesday Derek.

ReplyDeleteYea that's true Greg, I also thought he was going to stay with Rasner past that hitter. Hopefully the pen can do the job.
ReplyDeletefucking shit... if they lose this game I'm not watching the rest of the season.
ReplyDeleteCant blame bruney there, Inglett went n got that, hes a great hitter that kid.
ReplyDeleteYou're right Derek, just a good piece of hitting.
ReplyDeleteUh oh, Marte can't locate his fastball again. .... and there's a base hit. FUCK!
ReplyDeleteCome on Edwar, get the job done. We need strikeouts.
ReplyDeleteDamn it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a disaster this game has turned into, and all thanks to Robbie Cano falling asleep in the field for the 23208299 time.
And the Jays lead 7-6. Up 6-2 with 9 outs to go and now trail, just pathetic I don't know what else to say.
ReplyDeleteI'm done with this fucking team, they suck. See you guys next year.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Robbie, maybe you should consider killing yourself.
ReplyDeletei'm considering killing myself
ReplyDeleteAnother brilliant Cashman signing...Cano the loser.
ReplyDeleteWas there any doubt A-Rod was going to choke in the 9th? I don't think so. This team will never win if he's on the roster. Enjoy the next 9 years people....
ReplyDelete- A Met fan.
fuck you asshole. i hate mets fans almost more than red sox fans. go to your own teams site. the mets wont win in those 9 years either.
