Stick around and discuss the game
as it happens in the comments section.
Wow, Mitre perfect through three. I would have thought he'd be knocked out of the game by now.
ReplyDeleteYea I didn't see that coming... Hey keep it up Sergio.
ReplyDeleteI think he's making a push for Cy Young. If he throws perfect games in the last 4-5 starts he'll have he might be considered.
ReplyDeleteGo Bombers.
By the way, Kay needs to shut up about the Jeter bunting thing already. It helped create those two runs. He seems to forget that even the greatest players make an out 2 out of 3 times.
ReplyDeletehey guys what have i missed, i've been in enemy territory last 2 days, plus driving, CLEVELAND, ugh, for work/training... watched the game lastnight on espn gamecast,
ReplyDeleteHey Mario,
ReplyDeleteYou heard about the Kazmir trade, right?
Besides that nothing much, Boston seems to be putting a strangle hold on the wild card, which sucks. Yanks maintaining their lead, which doesn't.
12-up 12-down for Sergio.... there's no way.... nevermind.
ReplyDeleteJeter is on some kind of roll, even when he screws up he helps the team.
ReplyDeleteVery true Anon.
ReplyDeletekills me i didn't get to see CC destroy sox lastnight, then to not get the win, sucked more, at least we got the win, I"m worried about AJ & Joba... CC & andy are heating up for the playoffs,
ReplyDeleteJoba concerns me as far as the post season goes. He really needs to learn how to pitch, because he's got all the stuff you need. Far too few first pitch strikes and then he seems to relax with two outs and it kills him.
ReplyDeleteBurnett is a mental patient with a great arm, and we're just going to have to get used to it. He had no-hit stuff the other night but the walks killed him.
ok finally the offense is alive today, but TEX is losing ground in the HR & RBI chase for AL.. come on man,
ReplyDeleteOOOOOOOOOOOH what a play by A-Rod!
ReplyDeletemitre is dealing, i'll continue thinking what i'm thinking, and try not to jinx it, keep it up SERGIO.... earn urself a bullpen spot in the playoffs
ReplyDeleteOh well, it was highly doubtful anyway. I thought the gods may have been on his side when A-Rod made that play, but Tex couldn't come up with Thome's rocket.
ReplyDeleteWow what a tough break for Mitre. Obviously pitching his best game of the year, and then has to leave with an injury. He should be OK, though. I don't think anything tore or broke.
ReplyDeletewhat specifically happened greg?
ReplyDeleteHe took a liner off his forearm. It swelled up and he had to leave the game.
ReplyDeleteDamn... I just ran in to take a shower and missed it. What happened to Mitre?
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg.
ReplyDeleteNo problem, CF.
ReplyDeleteHe pitched a hell of a game.
ReplyDeleteWhich arm was it?
His right arm, which isn't good, but as long as nothing is broken or torn he should be fine.
ReplyDeleteDamn, was hoping it was the left of course.
ReplyDeleteRight forearm contusion... Headed for X-rays.
ReplyDeleteGreat game by Mitre. Hope he's ok. How the hell did we lose 3 of 4 to this team?
ReplyDeleteGreat game by Mitre. Hope he's ok. How the hell did we lose 3 of 4 to this team?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great game by the Yanks. Mitre and Gaudin combined for a one hitter.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I was hoping Jeter would break Gehrig's Yankee record for hits on the next homestand but at this torrid pace he will do it before then.
