- From now on I will be including a link to WCBS 880's live streaming feed in the game threads. (Thanks to the fine folks over at WCBS for passing the link my way.) The link will be on top of the page where WCBS is listed as the radio station for the game. I figured this would be good for some of you.
Stick around and discuss the game

I told you. The way Cervelli gets rewarded is by starting Posada immediately the next day. Too funny for words.
ReplyDeleteIts no wonder this team stinks, can't hardly beat bad teams, can't beat good teams at all. There is simply no reward for doing well. This organization insists on trotting the same garbage that hasn't worked again and again and again and they expect different results.
Per Peter Abraham...Cano has been scratched...Ransom to play 2B...
ReplyDeleteAnon, do you realize how much everyone hates you?
ReplyDeleteWhy do you stay around?
Why doesnt Girardi get creative with this team? How about Swisher at an infield spot now and then, Cervelli catching, Posada DH, and bring a DH player in the outfield. Obviously cant be done in a national league game. Just feel Girardi can shake things up and move players around a little more.
ReplyDelete-G
Where is Swisher going to play? He plays first and you're not going to DH Tex or sit him.
ReplyDeleteSwisher shouldn't even be starting, why was Duncan buried for him to get a spot?
ReplyDeleteShelley Duncan? Maybe 'cus the guy can't hit any off-speed pitch.
ReplyDeleteShit TMZ is reporting that Michael Jackson died. It's all over TV.
ReplyDeleteI heard about it too, it's crazy how these things come tend to come in threes. Ed McMahon yesterday and Farrah Fawcett and now Michael Jackson.
ReplyDeleteDepending on whether he molested those boys or not this either sucks or there are a lot of happy people right now.
Yep. Michael Jackson is dead. Went into cartiac arrest and the doctors never got a pulse. This sucks, he was a hell of a singer despite his mishaps.
ReplyDeleteMichael Jackson
1959-2009
Same here Greg.
ReplyDeleteGreg - the WCBS link works, but the game is not on what they are streaming - just regular news. I have MLB audio, so I am listening on that.
ReplyDeleteJay
Yeah, the CBS audio online never has the game. A couple years a go, I had to work during a playoff game and tried listening online and could only get the news feed.
ReplyDeleteNot sure why they gave you that link, Greg.
That ball hit by Ransom looked fair.
ReplyDeletehey anon, your beloved red sox are down 4-0
ReplyDeleteLooks like A-Rod is coming around. Sweet!
ReplyDeleteWe saw how quickly Tex got his average up. A-Rod could easily do the same.
Yay. Michael jackson is dead....one less molester in the world.
ReplyDeleteThat was never even close to proven, so that remark is ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing out the WCBS thing. Kinda strange that they would ask me to post that if the game was not on. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteCan we catch a freakin' popup?!
ReplyDeleteBad defense or not, Pettitte is giving this game away. Get him out.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see a statistic on average how many runs per game the yankees starters get. Sure, pettitte leads the team in wins but he has looked terrible his last 3 or 4 starts but the yankee offense helps him out.
ReplyDeleteTonight he's pitching with a 7 run lead in the 4th inning and hes just throwing BP to atlanta right now i can't take it
The team hands you a fucking 8-1 lead and you piss it away. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteIf we lose this game, it tops off all previous patheticness from this season.
ReplyDeleteIn better news, Alfredo Aceves is the man, and John Smoltz got rocked tonight by the Nationals.
ReplyDeleteWell I am so broken up over that fact JC. Sheesh, a bunch of fornicating, drunken cake eating roman CATholics going to hell,don't like me. Darn! Go eat your wafer and drink your wine.
ReplyDeleteYou hate freedom dont you JC.
You also hate Jesus Christ dont you JC.
You know how this is so? Simple. "For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God". Birds of a feather flock together pal.
And, I see POSada is up to his usual....giving up a ton of runs as the starting catcher. ROFLMAO.
ReplyDeleteYea, yea, yea, its Pettitte's fault, its the wind, moon, stars or anything else you can think of. Its amazing that this ALWAYS happens with POSada catching. ALWAYS! LOL
Yup, great hit to by POSada. His .308 average is really helping us. Piece of Shit ada. That's what POSada stands for.
Ugh, now Aceves can't find his good stuff... at least he got out of it.
ReplyDelete>> Well I am so broken up over that fact JC. Sheesh, a bunch of fornicating, drunken cake eating roman CATholics going to hell,don't like me. Darn! Go eat your wafer and drink your wine.
ReplyDeleteYou hate freedom dont you JC.
You also hate Jesus Christ dont you JC. <<
LOL!! Damn, you're good....
You pinned me perfectly.
Looks like A-Rod is back.
ReplyDeleteIf A-Rod is back this team will be fine.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, there's the nightly web gem from Teixeira.
Just saw Phil's tattoo. That probably hurt on the inner arm!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Anon, what the hell is wrong with you?
ReplyDeleteanon is just pissed that his red sox lost.
ReplyDeleteIm not a red sox fan. I hate the red sox. And, JC started it so now he's getting it. The truth must hurt.
ReplyDeleteI am a lifelong Yankee fan. But, I am NOT a fan of the way this current organization (which is run by morons like Cashman.) He's a terrible GM and he does nothing with everything.
When doesn't Robertson give up runs?
And, when doesn't piece of shit ada (Posada) give up 6 runs? I mean this is ridiculous! What a terrible, horrible, pathetic, no talent, ass clown jerk off. Every friggin time this chump starts our team is giving up 6 runs or more. Its beyond comical at this point.
NOt only does Posada sintk but Girardi has the nerve and brilliance to put him in the 5 hole. How dumb. Way to go Girardi, he went 1 for 4 and had 4 LOB. Terrific! Think positive! Schmuck!!
ReplyDeleteAt least we won. And, we only had to score 11 runs to make up for the 7 runs piece of shit ada gave up.
I'm just glad they won. Anon, you need to calm down.
ReplyDeleteArod had way too many hits tonight with RISP. He used them all up and probably won't do that again for another month.
ReplyDeleteAnd, how anyone can have faith in Arod is amazing. He's a lifelong choker in the playoffs. Oh well some never learn. The only thing men learn from history is men dont' learn anything from history.
Since when is 1-4 so bad?
ReplyDeleteAnon, you're a sorry, pathetic jackass.
You probably sit at home every night and jerk off to your fantasies of being a baseball player.
Ugly game but they won so who cares. Pettitte was awful though.
ReplyDeleteTeixeira didn't have a hit tonight, Anon.
ReplyDeleteThat makes him a hack, right?
