Boston is losing 4-3 in the bottom of the 7th.
The Rangers need some more runs. I don't trust their bullpen at all.
Derek Jeter has just become the all-time leader for hits by a shortstop with an RBI double. 1-0 Yankees.
And you should have trusted their bullpen. 8 games ahead for now. I we can manage to pull this thing off, 8.5 could be a pretty good cushion before Fenway. Let's take 2 out of 3 in Oakland and then not be swept in Beantown.
We should feel reaaaaally good about things right now. The Red Sox are not what they used to be the last 4 or 5 years, they just don't seem to be able to go over themselves and win the games that have to be won. Wouldn't surprise me if the Rangers ran away with the WC, let's help them with the series in Boston!
Go Bombers, Go Joba.
lol nice win for the Rangers.
Fucking shit Joba.... mix your pitches! Everything is a damn fastball.
He's got to minimize the damage.
And he couldn't do it. 4-3 Mariners. An absolutely pathetic outing by Joba so far. He's not throwing strikes, and this team can't hit to save their lives. Awful.
had a feeling we'd lose today unless joba went 7 strong, which he obviously couldn't, pathetic....
hope we can have some late inning magic again, with boston losing, with only 43 loses so far, that still only 5 better then the 98 team that lost 48 all season.. just makes that team that much more unbelieveable
Hey guys, wats up?
Just a bad start for Joba today. He really looked like his May/June/early July form where he would get ahead of hitters and then end up walking them. He also ran his pitch count up early as every start.
Hopefully the Yankee offense can pick up the slack. They haven't been that good either. We need another comeback, I really want that 8.5 game lead.
Runners at the corners now with 2 outs, Johnny Damon coming up.
seattle has lived on 2 out rbi hits today, come on damon, we need one now
thanks damon u loser
Shit. Damon just missed beating it out too. Still 4-3. We got 3-4-5 coming up in the 8th so we still got a shot.
In the words of Yogi: It ain't over till it's over.
Hey YB.... The Yanks pen has to keep this at a one-run lead. If they can do that I like our chances. Hopefully Fister's day in done.
Same here. We got Teix and A-Rod due up next inning so we still got a shot.
WTF was that! Hairston thought it was like a home run and it fell 10 feet in front of him?
Hairston showing off his inexperience in center.
YB, check your email.
He may be able to play a lot of positions, but I think the Yanks should not start him in CF. he should be limited to right, left, and the infield positions. Hopefully Gardy comes back soon so we don't have to put Jerry in CF.
Aceves has looked rusty today. Maybe five days off isn't the best idea.
Yeah. He better get out of this.
Gaudin warming up...
1 out
Damon is a terrible LFer.
Well there's one out... Come on Ace!
... A pop up on the infield would be great right about now.
Yes, he is, Anon.
OK, now he needs a DP.
Come on now Ace, DP.
Nice block by Posada. Saved Griffey from scoring.
2-2 now.
Steeeeeeeerike 3! 2 outs in the inning.
That's a big strikeout... Now he just needs one more.
F***. Ace hits a batter, 5-3.
And he hits in a runner to face Ichiro. What the hell was that?
He's not facing Ichiro - Gaudin is. He better get him out, another hit and we're screwed.
Aceves stinks.
aceves is homo
Anon what's the matter? Sad the Red Sox lost?
Damn. 7-3. We'll you can't win 'em all.
And now Teixeira's absence at first bites us in the ass. Everything Girardi has done today has been an epic failure. Moving up Joba, Hairston in center, and now Swisher at first.
That should just about do it for today.
This Chad Gaudin is not all that good, the new Jose Veras.
Yea, where was Phil Coke to face the left-handed Ichiro? Add that to Girardi's mistake list for the day.
Wow. I fall asleep when we have the lead and wake up when we're getting shelled, back to that dream now...hahaha.
Let me guess....
This is all Posada's fault?
Well, no, but does any other catcher allow double digit runs as much as Posada? I dont think so. Its a 5-3 game if Damon can play LF at all. He should not be resigned to play LF period.
