Stick around and discuss the game
as it happens in the comments section.
Shelley should still be up and playing 1st today, or RF and have Swish at 1st. Ransom is garbage and I dont know why the hell he is still here.
ReplyDeleteNeither do I.
ReplyDeleteHey Guys, here's another reason why we don't want arroyo...
ReplyDeletehttp://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=AvPZah21fplOdBy7WEmWYkYHU84F?slug=ap-reds-arroyo&prov=ap&type=lgns
I'm just curious. Does Girardi want to lose. I mean Ransom and Hairston? Might as well thrown in Molina in todays game.
ReplyDeleteBoston adds Casey Kotchman to there bench for depth.
ReplyDeleteLOL Cashman adds Jerry Hairston and keeps Cody Ransom on the team.
And Girardi did a bad job setting up the pitching matchups all season long against the red sox. Sabathia only pitched once against Boston while Boston ace Beckett has already pitched 3 times against the yankees. He sent a struggling Wang to pitch at Fenway.
ReplyDeleteFinally he set up the right rotation against the red sox.
They had little choice in the matter but to remove Mitre from the Boston series. I also dont think the Martinez trade will help Boston as much as everyone is saying.
ReplyDeleteA lot of Yankees fans feel that way, I personally can't see how he's not a huge help for them. Not only is he a damn good hitter, but he's one of the better clubhouse guys in the league.
ReplyDeleteIt's easy for Yankee fans to ignore reality, but we've already seen our lead cut by two games in two days, and the Sox did one thing we didn't do at the deadline, and that's improve themselves.
OK, A-Rod on second with nobody out, can they score the run??
ReplyDeletelol Posada now 3-for-20 on the road trip. ... A-Rod remains at second.
ReplyDeleteThen Cano K's for out number two and Melky pops out for the third out. A-Rod didn't move an inch. Great situational hitting Yanks!
ReplyDeleteGreetings all...
ReplyDeleteHey Carlos, what do you think about Cashman's inaction yesterday?
ReplyDeleteYep, Greg, you're dead right. Can't waste those scoring opportunities against a good pitcher and a team that's buzzing after winning the first two. Posada is really struggling at the moment and Cano is gutless when it comes to RISP. That's the one thing holding him back from becoming a great player.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I think the way the Yanks are treating Shelley Duncan is shameful. Either give him another chance or let him go.
ReplyDeleteCarlos, I added you and Mike to the people who receive email confirmation of comments.
ReplyDeleteHey Greg.. I dont think the yanks had to do something.. i would've liked another pitcher but I think we have all we need in house.. Vmart doesn't scare me going to boston.. Im just Really glad that they didn't get Halladay
ReplyDeleteThat's true Bruce, Cano is embarrassing with men on.
ReplyDeleteSituational hitting has been a problem with this team all year. That's why they lose against good teams. They consistently fail to get big RBIs.
... Great, bases loaded for the Sox with one out. Looks like Burnett didn't bring his A-game.
Geeez blue no corners today for Burnett?
ReplyDelete1-0 White Sox, bases still loaded.
Damn umpire... can't call strikes
ReplyDeleteAnd now it's 5-0. This game is over. I have no desire to watch the rest. Enjoy the game people, or at least try to.
ReplyDeleteLater people.
Way to go AJ. Walk the No.9 hitter and then fall 2-0 behind Konerko. Now we can see the folly of Cashman not signing another pitcher yesterday. Game over already I fear.
ReplyDeleteTime for a 2 hour break...
ReplyDeleteWell, this game is over. Great pitching Burnett. Way to look like Sergio Mitre.
ReplyDeletethis road trip started out great, & your gonna let a .500 team blow you out 4 games.... this is the beginning of the end...
ReplyDeleteFirst, the Red Sox, now the White Sox. The test of a pitcher's mettle comes in adversity and when his team needs him the most. Thanks for ruining my Sat afternoon AJ.
ReplyDeletewell obviously Cashman, Girardi & powers that be have there heads up there asses' and are choosing to not pay attention to the glaring needs of this team, ... god i miss GEORGE
ReplyDeleteWe are now in August and we have two guys in the lineup one with a 307 obp and the other with a 265 obp after losing the first two games.
ReplyDeleteRansom is hitting 197 but he is still on the team because he is "versatile"
I can understand if Molina was hitting 197 because he is a great defensive backup catcher. But Ransom doesn't do anything well.
Cano is a lazy mofo. His last at bat was nothing short of disgraceful with his team 4 runs down. We should have traded his sorry ass ages ago.
ReplyDeleteMcCarver is just awful to listen to but thank god Joe Buck isn't in the booth with him today as well. Tim just said how the reemergence of brian bruney really makes girardi feel comfortable with his bullpen as a nice setup man to go to mariano.
ReplyDeleteGive me Michael Kay and Ken Singleton
WHY IS CODY RANSOM ON THIS TEAM!
ReplyDeleteWHY IS CODY RANSOM ON THIS TEAM!
ReplyDeleteWHY IS CODY RANSOM ON THIS TEAM!
ReplyDeleteJoe Girardi should be fired for playing this idiot. And Cashman should go for keeping him on the roster.
ReplyDeleteWho's catching for us today? Oh thats right its Posada. Same old same old. Brilliant GM and manager we have.
ReplyDeleteCano plays when he wants too, I agree he should be traded, 2B are easier to find...he's got his contract, he doesn't care anymore, if he had 1/2 the heart Jeter has, he'd win a batting title, & gold glove..
ReplyDeletethis offseason trade CANO to dodgers for 1 of there outfielders, W/ nady, damon off the books & gone, Swisher isn't an everyday player, AJAX will be up, & then sign Orlando Hudson, he's a better hitter, defender & will come cheaper and has heart... can't win with less then 100% effort, prime example WS teams, Paulie, Scotty B, Tino, had heart....
ReplyDelete20 pitches an inning, thats an awesome ratio AJ, cause our BP is that rested and overall good... I can hear the death rattle now
ReplyDeletewalk 1 run in is a sin, walking 2 runs in w/ bases loaded, & can't make it out of the 5th, thanks alot AJ,
ReplyDeleteOH and adjusting the pitching matchups is like putting a bandaid on a severed arm, ....
ReplyDeleteRansom: Get back to the Minor Leagues where you belong.
ReplyDeletewhats wrong with Hinske? or Johnny? or CC?..or any other pitcher cause they are better than Ransom...he is awful
ReplyDeleteCould have made a game of it if that dipstick hadn't been at the plate.
ReplyDeleteHey just got back to see that awful inning. The fact that he let Ransom hit there tells me all I need to know about Joe Girardi.
ReplyDeleteGirardi is a loser. If the Yanks win any games it will be in spite of Girardi's presence, not because of it.
ReplyDeleteMike
there are so many problems, walk #9 hitter twice w/ bases loaded, & he's hitting .230, is 1 huge problem, Girardi is another, & don't forget JORGE....
ReplyDeleterelease/trade Molina, Ransom, bring up Cervelli, Pena, dump Mitre, no point in having HUGES in the BP when you don't even have SP's who can make it past the 5th..Bring up AJAX to bring some youth and energy,
ReplyDeleteit absolutely blows my mind, how stupid hitters are, take a sec, look at the situation, & figure out that the pitcher is gonna pitch you outside to get a weak ground ball to get out of the inning, pathetic, clean house, the coaching staff, all ov them, Eiland, Long, Girardi, they all suckass....
ReplyDelete2 men on, no outs and what happens. F+++ All. Not one of A-Rod, Posada and that useless piece of crap Cano can lay decent wood on the ball. We could still have won this game with the number of chances we've had. If Girardi talks about how much fight there is in this team tonight then he's talking through his ass.
ReplyDeleteWhy do I even watch anymore? They arnt winning anything this year!!
ReplyDeletePhillies will have a Dynasty!
Jay
Is it just me or is anyone else scared right now? Bullpen=Garbage, Defence=Garbage, Hitting=Slipping! Less Power, cant hit with runners in scoring position, Starters=slipping!
ReplyDeleteNice going Cash, lets wait for Arroya he's the answer!
It all starts with the injuries to Wang and Gardner. Wang's injury completely destroyed any starting depth they had. Gardner's injury took their best glove and fastest runner out of the lineup. Add to that the poor personnel decisions; Pena and Cervelli in the minors, Molina and Ransom with the big club. Oh, and for some reason Cody Ransom actually plays.
ReplyDeleteRISP has been a major problem all season and today has been another good (or sad) example.
ReplyDeleteYet people still don't see a problem with Kevin Long.
ReplyDeleteCano has become a complete joke. Only time he ever drives in a runner is off a broken-bat bloop.
ReplyDeleteGirardi over extended Bruney. Bruney is a short reliever. He was struggling and gave you 1.1 ip scorless. To have him come out for the 7th was stupid. Bruney almost threw 40 pitches.
ReplyDeleteIs Girardi that scared to use Melancon in the 7th. Melancon only threw 18 pitches last night.
Third night in a row Girardi extended the bullpen pitchers he did with Hughes, Aceves and today with Bruney
Rays won again today and Red Sox are all but certain to sweep Orioles so unless we pull our sox up (pardon the pun), we'll be trailing Boston by the time we meet in the Bronx next week.
ReplyDeleteill say it for the 100th time in the past week....WHY IS POSADA BEHIND THE PLATE HE IS AN ABSOLUTE EMBARRASSMENT. I hope im not the only one that just saw the play at the plate...
ReplyDeleteAnother double digit performance by which CATCHER? Why doesn't this happen to any other catcher on the roster? Simple, POSADA SUCKS. This organization is so stupid with its personnel decisions its amazing. This team will NEVER win in the playoffs with Posada catching.
ReplyDeletethis team fucking blows.. they aint winning shit this year. right now i cant even see them holding onto the wild card let alone the division. and even we do win the wild card, we would have to play the Angels, Red Sox and possibly our new owners the White Sox.
ReplyDeleteRight, Mr. Sabathia...this is why we signed you: to stop slumps and keep winning streaks going. Let's see how good you are tomorrow. Yanks badly need game four, not just from a standings point of view but from a psychological one too.
ReplyDeleteGirardi is abusing the bullpen. Bruney threw 35 pitches Coke threw 31 pitchesm Aceves threw 39 pitches, Hughes threw 35 pitches.
ReplyDeleteGirardi is going to burnout the bullpen. THere was no reason for Coke to even be used today down 4 runs. I cant believe he sent out Bruney again for the 7th. Bruney is a short reliever who just pitched 1.1 scorless innings. That is where he should of used Melancon.
Another great day for Posada. 14 runs allowed.
ReplyDeletedude they lost 14-4 people have to mop up when ur starter cant get through 5 innings. These things happen.
