  1. damn if we would have come all the way back yesterday we probably would have been able to catch the rays, it would have put us at 9 back and possible 8 now, because they just lost to toronto, who is only 1 game behind us. finishing 4th would be much more embarrasing, 3rd is already really bad. but i could have seen a rays collapse if they blew it yesterday. i still think the f*cking red sox will win the division, and some how pull another world series out of their ass.( they should not have won it in either 2004, or 2007)

  2. Yea yesterday was huge. When people say the Yankees need to win every game, they truly mean EVERY GAME.

    I agree about finishing fourth, the would really suck. It's very important that the Yanks play tough and at least hang around in the standings.

    I also think the Sox will take the division.

  3. This series is an unexcuseable must sweep, I mean if we can't sweep one of the most garbage teams in the majors we should just look forward to next year. Also, why is it that it took so long for the braintrust to finally realize that Darrell Rasner is ass cheeks and this move should've been made along time ago.

  4. The harsh reality is that every series is a must sweep, I know that's nearly impossible, but this is what happens when you're 7.5 out with 22 to play.

    But yes, they should be able to be this crap team.

    I have no idea why it took so long, the Yankees lost five of the last six games he starter, I wonder how many of those games they could have saved themselves if they had made this decision sooner.

  5. Come on Andy, it's the fucking Mariners.

    ReplyDelete
  6. I can't believe he's getting hit this hard by a team this bad. What a joke. And of course on the day I defend him, and say we should resign him.

    For the record I still feel that way.

    ReplyDelete
  7. What a shitty performance from Andy, and this may finally and completely kill the Yankees hopes. Not that they had much life anyway. Thanks Andy.

  8. 3-0 is doable, they could come back from that, but he's gotta hold them right here.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Well that is if they can figure out how to hit Morrow.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Even if their chances are slim the fact that it is the last season in this stadium is enough reason to watch

    ReplyDelete
  11. Hey Jon,

    Yea, I'm gonna keep watching, I wouldn't feel good about myself if I didn't.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Hey What's up

    Loal fans should. There more games you watch the more insight you have anyways

    ReplyDelete
  13. I'll tell you guys this, if they get no-hit by this fucking team I'm NOT watching another game all year. FUCKING SHIT THIS TEAM BLOWS.

    ReplyDelete
  14. haha its only the fifth theyll get some hits...

    ReplyDelete
  15. Because we have no braintrust. Cashman is a moron who has accomplished nothing. Pettitte stinks. What's he pitched, 5 good games for us this year? He hasn't done anything for us in almost 10 years. ANother pathetic signing by the "braintrust".

    ReplyDelete
  16. Anonymous,

    What are you talking about? He was good for the entire first half, and has struggled as the season has gone on. Did you ever think that his turbulent off-season may be catching up with him?

    ReplyDelete
  17. this is kind of a sad showing at the moment ... watch a rod come through here

    ReplyDelete
  18. Wow no hits through 7.... PATHETIC.

    ReplyDelete
  19. ichiro suzuki's sister went to my college she was a grade below me

    ReplyDelete
  20. pettite is doing ok 3 runs aint bad its just the total lack of offense

    ReplyDelete
  21. can someone please get a fuckin ghit. we're already the laughing stock of baseball. after the 3rd inning it felt like we might get no hit. its bad enough losing to the mariners, but getting no hit. i havent read the other comments, but isnt this his first major league start? i know he was a reliever for most of the year.

    ReplyDelete
  22. yeah i knew here a little she lived next to my ex one year

    ReplyDelete
  23. but people would tell me she was ichiros sister and i didnt know who ichiro was at the time so i took it for granted

    ReplyDelete
  24. Yes Dan this is his first career start.

    And Jon, Pettitte has settled down very nicely in this game. He's actually done a pretty good job. Too bad they can't get a hit, or four or five runs.

    ReplyDelete
  25. its crazy to me how they are hitless at the moment

    ReplyDelete
  26. I agree... maybe nady will come through here

    ReplyDelete
  27. I know I may be too overly optimistic here, but if this team can get a runner on base they can get into the pen and maybe win this game. Come on Yanks, do something.


    AND Matsui swings at ball four...

    ReplyDelete
  28. They should send up Gardner and have him bunt for a single. Fuck Morrow.

    ReplyDelete
  29. thank god! now we can actually think about winning the game. come on, if betemit can hit him, anyone can!

    ReplyDelete
  30. HAHAHAH FUCK YOU MORROW HAHAHAHHA NO NO-NO FOR YOU!

    ReplyDelete
  31. dammit that was an important at bat... here comes hi clutchness ales rodriguez

    ReplyDelete
  32. What the fuck was he doing swinging at the first pitch? FUCKING A-FRAUD.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Yea I don't understand it either, he needed to be patient there.

    ReplyDelete
  34. And that's that.... 8.5 out, ugh.

    Thanks for all the comments, good night people.

    ReplyDelete
