Damon sometimes looks like a little kid trying to field.... that one was pitiful but hilarious...

Mario said...

every ball damon catches is a
F&^$ing miracle...

Emmanuel said...

LOL what the hell is up with those phony umps?

Mario said...

can't get the damn ball out of the infield, pathetic, what a F&^%ing joke... yeah how the fuck do those fake umps get tickets front row behind home plate, i've seen them on ESPN

Mario said...

perfect chance to break the game open, & only get 2 runs, & 1 came on wild pitch, so in my mind that 1 doesn't count from somehting we did to get it, what a joke..

Greg Cohen said...

Cano can be red hot and still can't do a damn thing with men on. Its getting to the point that its sad.

JC said...

Just put the game on, but looks like Burnett is nasty again!

JC said...

I jinxed it. LOL

Greg Cohen said...

lol nice job JC.

Mario said...

the inability to put teams away when given the opportunity is getting old.. Yanks need to win AT LEAST 3 out of 4 this series, considering they are division rivals,

daneptizl said...

lol at least 3...

HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGHESSSSSSSSS

JC said...

Man, I'm so tired of seeing empty seats in the lower level of the Stadium. It just looks terrible.

Nice shot by A-Rod.

Greg Cohen said...

Good win, especially with Halladay going tomorrow. Very nicely pitched game for the Yanks.

JC said...

Yeah, today was big. I don't have much confidence going into tomorrow. Wang vs. Halladay? That's obviously not a matchup that favors us.

crossfire said...

Nice win today. Burnett has been solid lately with a .99 era in his last 4 starts.

Tomorrow's game will be a tough one so getting a win today was key.

If the yanks beat Halladay tommorow than you could realisticly expect a sweep. Thats why todays game was so important if we lost today and Halladay tommorow that would be rough. Burnett has been lights out lately.

How'd Cervelli do today? Posada is out again, then why was he pinch hitting last night and not someone else.
