  2. Yea that would be nice, wouldn't it?


    The offense really came to play today... Well that or Verlander just blows.

    ReplyDelete
  3. By the way, sorry for the late lineups today, I'm a little hungover.

    ReplyDelete
  4. What's happened to Verlander? He stinks now. I wonder if he was on HGH or something.

    ReplyDelete
  5. thats 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.

  7. Who is this team and what have they done with the 2008 Yankees?

    These guys are actually getting hits with men on base? Unbelievable.

    ReplyDelete
  8. this shows us how good halladay and burnett are, as well as every other pitcher we have versed this year. rare offensive outburst.

    ReplyDelete
  9. must be demonic or damonic possession.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Ponson please don't make a game out of this.

    ReplyDelete
  11. dude according to john sterling thats the second base hit that went over the wall for a home run. he definitely is a fucking crackhead

    ReplyDelete
  12. sidney is skating on thin ice again. too bad carl pavano cant pitch every game

    ReplyDelete
  13. "too bad carl pavano cant pitch every game"

    I can't believe you said that, and I really can't believe you almost mean it.

    ReplyDelete
  14. no i dont mean it. just stirring up the pot

    ReplyDelete
  15. i mean carl is the straw the stirs the dringk. sidney can only sir it bad

    ReplyDelete
  16. damn its quiet on the ol bloggeroony today. no Labor Day fun planned?

    ReplyDelete
  17. What has gotten into this team??

    Bases loaded again? Save some of these hits for Tampa boys!

    ReplyDelete
  18. 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.

    What about you?

    By the way Anonymous, Tampa's pitchers will probably dominate the Yanks. They've been great all year against everyone.

  19. 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!!!

    ReplyDelete
  20. The Tigers pitching can't be this bad can it? Every guy they bring in the Yankees are pouding.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Yes, they can be this bad.

    Godriguez, I thought you were a big A-Rod fan?

    And are you flying to Seattle to see the games?

    ReplyDelete
  22. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Speaking 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.

    My 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!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Godriguez,

    Oh 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.

    ReplyDelete
  25. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Come on Sidney. Freaking homer to Inge.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Ponson really stinks. This should be his last start, why do they need to carry this guy anymore? Just let Hughes or Aceves start.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Yea, I'm pretty sick of Ponson myself.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Inge is quite an athlete, did you hear that laundry list of skills flaherty just rattled off? Thats impressive.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Anyone else have a horrible feeling they're going to lose this game, or is it just me?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Great, 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.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Plus Joba will be activated tomorrow.

    ReplyDelete
  33. 3 run game. hahaha.

    ahhhhhhahahahahaha.



    AAAHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Un-fucking believable 11-8 now.

    ReplyDelete
  35. we're going to lose. what a joke.

    ReplyDelete
  36. If they lose this game I may not watch anymore. This is torture.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I 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.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Get outs you skinny bastard!!!

    ReplyDelete
  39. PRAISE JESUS, IT'S OVER!!!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Now 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.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Well there's two... 13-9 now on the Jeter 2-run single.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Alright 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...
