yay pudge! now hit the fucking ball
ReplyDeleteYea that would be nice, wouldn't it?
ReplyDeleteThe offense really came to play today... Well that or Verlander just blows.
By the way, sorry for the late lineups today, I'm a little hungover.
ReplyDeleteWhat's happened to Verlander? He stinks now. I wonder if he was on HGH or something.
ReplyDeletethats ok man, i just got back from a bender in Vermont. and i think verlander does suck but this is what we need to build on. opening a fresh can o'ass whoopin always helps keep the motor running.

ReplyDeleteWho is this team and what have they done with the 2008 Yankees?
ReplyDeleteThese guys are actually getting hits with men on base? Unbelievable.
this shows us how good halladay and burnett are, as well as every other pitcher we have versed this year. rare offensive outburst.
ReplyDeletemust be demonic or damonic possession.
ReplyDeletePonson please don't make a game out of this.
ReplyDeletedude according to john sterling thats the second base hit that went over the wall for a home run. he definitely is a fucking crackhead
ReplyDeleteSterling is retarded.
ReplyDeletesidney is skating on thin ice again. too bad carl pavano cant pitch every game
ReplyDelete"too bad carl pavano cant pitch every game"
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you said that, and I really can't believe you almost mean it.
no i dont mean it. just stirring up the pot
ReplyDeletei mean carl is the straw the stirs the dringk. sidney can only sir it bad
ReplyDeletehahahaha
ReplyDeletedamn its quiet on the ol bloggeroony today. no Labor Day fun planned?
ReplyDeleteWhat has gotten into this team??
ReplyDeleteBases loaded again? Save some of these hits for Tampa boys!
Nah nothing planned, just gonna hang out, and enjoy the day off. I may go to a late BBQ at a friends house in the city. Not sure.
ReplyDeleteWhat about you?
By the way Anonymous, Tampa's pitchers will probably dominate the Yanks. They've been great all year against everyone.
i'm taking it easy for now. flying to seattle wednesday and i need to have a clear coconut to do so. after the boston series and going to vermont this past weekend i think i did some major brain damage. GO GO Gay Rod!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Tigers pitching can't be this bad can it? Every guy they bring in the Yankees are pouding.
ReplyDeleteYes, they can be this bad.
ReplyDeleteGodriguez, I thought you were a big A-Rod fan?
And are you flying to Seattle to see the games?
i am an a-rod fan i just like to talk shit. But I never boo. i just shake my head when he fucks up. yes, i'm going to the friday night game. my sisters both live in seattle and since they grew up yankees fans i buy them yankees/mariners tickets every year and i show up expecting room and board like any good brother would.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of hungover, here's Big D waking up just now to see a 10-2 score. The FUCK is going on here, did I wake up in bizzaro world? Oh wait, no I didnt, cause the Tigers are doody and Im still broke.
ReplyDeleteMy plans for today? Youre lookin at it... Wireless typing from my bed, fantasy football draft at 8 oclock, and lots of bagged up leftovers from all the places i ate yesterday. Hooray (no) Labor Day!
Godriguez,
ReplyDeleteOh that's cool, enjoy Seattle.
Derek,
Whats going on?
I still have no idea how this team could have hit as poorly as they have all year. This is the kind of offense I think we all expected.
Verlander's servin up meat thats why... We excel against power pitchers weve seen many times before, its all the fuckin unknown schlubs with junk that we cant hit.
ReplyDeleteCome on Sidney. Freaking homer to Inge.
ReplyDeletePonson really stinks. This should be his last start, why do they need to carry this guy anymore? Just let Hughes or Aceves start.
ReplyDeleteYea, I'm pretty sick of Ponson myself.
ReplyDeleteInge is quite an athlete, did you hear that laundry list of skills flaherty just rattled off? Thats impressive.
ReplyDeleteThat's true, very impressive.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else have a horrible feeling they're going to lose this game, or is it just me?
ReplyDeleteGreat, way to wear out the bullpen for 6 innings before we hit tampa. Thankfully we have a plethora of arms coming in soon. Giese, Coke, Aceves n such should help us ease the pain.
ReplyDeletePlus Joba will be activated tomorrow.
ReplyDelete3 run game. hahaha.
ReplyDeleteahhhhhhahahahahaha.
AAAHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA.
Un-fucking believable 11-8 now.
ReplyDeletewe're going to lose. what a joke.
ReplyDeleteIf they lose this game I may not watch anymore. This is torture.
ReplyDeleteI cant blame the Miggy Cab homer tho.... Ive had this guy on my squad all year, hes been servin up Oppo's like hot cakes the past two weeks. Dont think Edwar shoulda been brought in this early.
ReplyDeleteGet outs you skinny bastard!!!
ReplyDeleteGod this is painful to watch.
ReplyDeletePRAISE JESUS, IT'S OVER!!!
ReplyDelete11-9 now, ugh.
ReplyDeleteNow the usual Yankees offense is back, quick at-bats leading to nothing. I wouldn't be surprise if they don't score another run this game.
ReplyDeleteWell there's two... 13-9 now on the Jeter 2-run single.
ReplyDeleteAlright Godriguez.... time for us to start the Cokeheads... Ill start printing out the Robert Downey Jr. pics to hang up and you work on getting ziplock hats...
ReplyDelete1 Downey Jr.
ReplyDelete2 Bob Sagets.... Nice job Phil!
