Stick around and discuss the game
as it happens in the comments section.
It's a shame that if we win tonight all we're really doing is helping the Red Sox. Unless they go ice cold we really don't have a shot to begin with. But it is nice to see them playing well finally down the stretch.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, but at this point I just want the Yanks to win as many games as possible.
ReplyDeleteG-MEN!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe're BACK BABY!!!! SUPER BOWL CHAMPS... GO GIANTS!!!
Oh, GO YANKEES TOO !!!
yeah I think more people will be watching that game, there might not be as many comments today.
ReplyDeleteYea Dan, I don't expect too many.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I had the wrong lineup posted. It has been updated.
ReplyDeleteELI RUNS IT IN FOR THE TD!!!! 7-0 Giants.
ReplyDeleteGreat opening drive.
That was a great opening drive, they look great so far. (The Giants that is.)
ReplyDeleteDarrell Rasner fucking blows.
ReplyDeleteYes he does.
ReplyDeleteGreat performance Rasner. 8 baserunners in 1.1 innings pitched, what a fucking joke.
ReplyDeleteHe was awful. He is awful.
ReplyDeleteWell this game is over... time to switch over to the Giants game.
ReplyDeleteYea looks that way. Thank God for picture in picture. (The Giants are in the big picture.)
ReplyDeleteBrian Cashman was awful. Brian Cashman is awful. Oh, wait, he can't be "was" awful because he never "was" good.
ReplyDeleteAnother terrific pitching staff Cashman has assembled. Please make sure you sign him to an extension so we can have another 10 years of unfruitfulness and garbage pitching staffs with worthless bums as hitters.
You do know Joba was hurt and Wang is out for the year? Kennedy and Hughes have not pitched like expected either. This isn't Cashman's fault. Sometimes it's the players fault, sometimes it's luck, and sometimes it's both.
ReplyDeleteUnless of course you think Paul Byrd was the answer.
