Stick around and discuss the game
as it happens in the comments section.
I hope we win these remaining two games against the Jays. I'd hate to lose this series after sweeping the Sox.
ReplyDeleteYep, we need to bounce back tonight to maintain the momentum of the Sox series. With Molina catching, the bottom of the order was pretty weak last night. Tonight's batting lineup looks much stronger so all we need is Joba to be the man he was in his first three starts post the All-Star break and we should be okay.
ReplyDeleteTonight's a pretty big game. They don't want to give another game back to Boston so a win tonight would be important.
ReplyDeleteTawaza is pitching tonight for the Sox, so I'm hoping he gets knocked around by the Tiggers.
ReplyDeleteThat would be nice.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Mark Feinsand "Girardi hinted Joba won't make his next start in 5 days; he'll get 1-2 extra days as part of the inning plan. Gaudin likely to start Sunday."
ReplyDeletethe lohud blog has different info on the Gaudin situation, hes getting the start to give everyone an extra day, not just Joba.
ReplyDeleteUPDATE, 5:03 p.m.: Mitre to stay in the rotation and pitch on Saturday. Looks like they will insert Chad Gaudin into the rotation on Sunday to give everybody an extra day off, or at least Joba extra time. … Brett Gardner has his cast off and hopes to rejoin the team in two weeks.
ReplyDeleteInteresting.
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned gaudin is wearing 41. Any idea what number Towers was assigned when he was up?
ReplyDeletewho the hell is our 3rd base coach, tex was dead, not a chance...
ReplyDeletedetroit up 3-0 bottom 1st, tigers left bases loaded
ReplyDeletenice -1-2-3 inning for joba
ReplyDeleteWhat I want to know is why Tex didn't run him over like he did to Jorge?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Tex and Posada have talked about that collision since Tex came to the Yanks? lol
ReplyDelete"Hey, remember when you ran my ass over but I still tagged you out?"

Towers was 28, which has been a popular number this year.
Other #28's for the 2009 Yankees:
Anthony Claggett
Shelley Duncan
Brett Tomko
Besides Gaudin, Veras also wore #41 for the Yanks this year.
Posada also hit the game winning walk off home run in that game.
ReplyDeleteYea that was a crazy game. Yankees won 13-12 or 12-11... Something like that... Joba is back in first half form. Surprised it happened so quickly.
ReplyDeletePosada sucks as a catcher. He couldn't call a game if his life depended on it. Absolutely no excuse for givin gup the lead there. NONE. Nice hitting too Arod you $30m hack.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it always Posada's fault when a pitcher gives up runs? LOL
ReplyDeleteYou're such a fuckin' joke of a sports fan.
And you're an idiot.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, looks like that brawl fired up the Sox, they've tied it.
Damn it Joba. 4-3 Jays on Ruiz's solo homer.
ReplyDelete1 (of many) good things about the live chats, NO ignorant, ultra conservative, racisist, sexist, retards named "anonymous"
ReplyDeleteThat is true.
ReplyDeleteLowell homers, 4-3 Sox.
ReplyDeletePorcello being tossed killed the Tigers.
ReplyDeleteThey finally hit another ball hard and Damon gets robbed. F***ing baseball.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA!! Has anyone seen the video of Youkilis charging the mound yet??
ReplyDeleteHe charges and tries to tackle Porcello, but Porello just pulls and throws Youkilis to the ground like a rag doll!!
LOL!!! Youkilis is just a little pussy. Porcello is like a little stick.
This is the only video I can find online so far.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOiUV3xNlOI
hahahaha yea I saw it on MLB network. Porcello tossed him. Meanwhile the Yanks look pathetic.
ReplyDeleteNice hit for Cano... Now they need a big hit.
ReplyDeleteAh, shit. I always forget about the MLB Network! I still haven't gotten used to that.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to find the video online! lol
lol, I don't even watch Baseball Tonight anymore.
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched Baseball Tonight in like five years. It used to be good when it was on for an hour and Harold Reynolds was there. But now it's just pathetic. Their "analysts" are pathetic now.
ReplyDeleteYup.
ReplyDeleteThe Yankees need to figure out a way to win this one. Handing Boston another game in the standings is not what you want to do.
Yeah, it'd be terrible to sweep them only to give two or three games back in the series following.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad Posada has helped our offense! Wow, amazing! Idiots.
ReplyDeleteNice at bat retard Melky. Look at a perfect 2-0 pitch right down the middle and then swing at 2 garbage pitches just like your "offensive" buddy PISSada.
If its not the catchers fault and it doesn't matter who the catcher is than ANYONE can catch by your evolutionary public school Pharaoh education rationale.
Hey put a monkey behind the plate MAYBE he will evolve into a catcher, if you only had a billion or trillion years (science is so very EXACT!) Or better yet, put a amoeba there and MAGICALLY it will turn into a more complex animal. Yea, it could happen.....science says so....
And, perhaps your father was a giraffe in Alaska. Idiots.
You're an idiot.
ReplyDeleteLOL!! Dude, your rants just crack me up now...
ReplyDeleteAre you on acid or something when you come on here? You're hopped up on something.
Lowell hits another homer 6-3 Sox.
ReplyDeleteBloop single for Jeter to leadoff the seventh. Can the Yanks get a rally going?
ReplyDeleteYanks are playing flat.
ReplyDeleteAnd Anon, time to go back to mommy's basement. Your so friggin' stupid it makes us laugh.
Loser.
The best news for the Sox was getting Youk kicked out of this thing...though I don't think a 5 game suspension will be quite as good.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the Yankees are still recovering from a hangover from Sunday's comeback win.
They need another one. Tex needs to blast one here.
ReplyDeleteSo much for that.
ReplyDeletei'm sure some of you will disagree but i'd like to see cano moved up in the lineup somewhere like either the #3 hold in front of tex & arod or #5 hole behind arod, matsui & jorge are too streaky..
ReplyDeleteCano's streaky, too, though. He's hot this week, but next week he could be ice cold.
ReplyDeleteAnd Matsui ties it up with a LONG home run to deep right.
ReplyDeletePOSADA GOES YARD!
ReplyDeleteBACK-TO-BACK JACKS for the third straight game.
Yanks lead 5-4!
By the way, Anon, I'm so glad Posada sucks. LOL
ReplyDeleteok, now warm up mo, god did we need that, hate to lose 2 in a row to jays, boston is delayed, but winning 6-3
ReplyDeletewas thinking the samething greg,
ReplyDeletegod once you watch a game on a HDTV & then see another on regular, there's no comparison, HDTV is the shit...LCD rocks
ReplyDeleteYea, HD is awesome.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Melk Man delivers. 6-4 Yanks.
ReplyDeletei'd love to know how far matsui's HR went?
ReplyDeleteThat's a huge rally.
ReplyDeleteMe too Mario. It will be on the HR tracker website sometime tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteYes Anon, really huge. I know they're up 5.5 but tonight is an important game to win.
Ever notice that the Posada hating Anon always disappears when Posada does something good?
ReplyDeleteWhat a wussbag!
Go Yanks!
That homer to center was sooo Posada's fault.
ReplyDeleteCome on Mo, stop f***ing around.
ReplyDeleteok, DP would be nice, end this crap
ReplyDeletegreg what is the HR tracker or where is it?
ReplyDeleteMO needs 12 more K's for 1000
ReplyDeleteWOW, the place got loud on that K for out number 2.
ReplyDeleteThe stadium is really loud now! I love it!
ReplyDeleteYES! YANKS WIN 7-5!!!
ReplyDeleteSweet come from behind win.
ReplyDeleteAnd once again... alone in the darkness of his mommy's basement...
Anon weeps.
Porcello gets credit for throwing Youkillis to the ground.
ReplyDeleteLOL @ Youkillis charging a 20 year rookie.
I'm going to the game tomorrow. Romero vs Burnett.
ReplyDeleteGo Yanks!!!
