yay pudge! now hit the fucking ball

Greg Cohen said...

Yea that would be nice, wouldn't it?


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

Greg Cohen said...

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

Anonymous said...

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

M-Rod said...

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.

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

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

Anonymous said...

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

M-Rod said...

must be demonic or damonic possession.

Anonymous said...

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

M-Rod said...

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

Greg Cohen said...

Sterling is retarded.

M-Rod said...

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

Greg Cohen said...

"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.

M-Rod said...

no i dont mean it. just stirring up the pot

M-Rod said...

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

Greg Cohen said...

hahahaha

M-Rod said...

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

Anonymous said...

What has gotten into this team??

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

Greg Cohen said...

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.

M-Rod said...

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!!!

Anonymous said...

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

Greg Cohen said...

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?

M-Rod said...

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.

Unknown said...

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!

Greg Cohen said...

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.

Unknown said...

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.

Greg Cohen said...

Come on Sidney. Freaking homer to Inge.

Anonymous said...

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

Greg Cohen said...

Yea, I'm pretty sick of Ponson myself.

Unknown said...

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

Greg Cohen said...

That's true, very impressive.

Anonymous said...

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

Unknown said...

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.

Greg Cohen said...

Plus Joba will be activated tomorrow.

Unknown said...

3 run game. hahaha.

ahhhhhhahahahahaha.



AAAHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA.

Anonymous said...

Un-fucking believable 11-8 now.

Anonymous said...

we're going to lose. what a joke.

Greg Cohen said...

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

Unknown said...

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.

Anonymous said...

Get outs you skinny bastard!!!

Greg Cohen said...

God this is painful to watch.

Anonymous said...

PRAISE JESUS, IT'S OVER!!!

Greg Cohen said...

11-9 now, ugh.

Anonymous said...

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.

Greg Cohen said...

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

Unknown said...

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...

Unknown said...

1 Downey Jr.

Unknown said...

2 Bob Sagets.... Nice job Phil!
