Stick around and discuss the game
as it happens in the comments section.
The Jays just seem to pick up where they left off against the Sox, just playing awful baseball. Love it.
ReplyDeleteGo Bombers, good game everyone.
I had to run out of the house for a few mins and I get back and they're already up 4-0. As for the Jays, they've given up.
ReplyDeleteWay to come up small Chad.
ReplyDeleteMorning All,
ReplyDeleteMaybe now we will see a few of the September call ups in action like Dunn
Gaudin needed to give us a decent performance and go at least 6. Instead he hits 2 guys with 2 strike counts and or throws the ball right down the middle with 2 strikes.
ReplyDeletewhat a freaking waste, damit,
ReplyDeletei don't like jeter bunting there, & look Damon & tex strike out and leave melky stranded,
ReplyDeleteHey Greg what's happening?
ReplyDeleteI think Jeter did that on his own, trying to get a hit.

ReplyDeletemy wife just broke out the MAJOR LEAGUE reference, arod to roger dorn, don't give me this o'lay bs. get in front of the dam ball....
ReplyDeleteThey're making this game far too interesting and ruining my buzz.
ReplyDeleteA Rod made that error at third and seemed to trigger a domino effect. Lets go three more runs this inning!
ReplyDeleteBruney!?!?!? Oh shit.
ReplyDeleteWow he survived.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Matsui will be back next year
ReplyDeleteA-Rod gives us a bit more insurance!
ReplyDeleteNice way to put this game out of reach.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Anon will come in and bitch that Posada's homer didn't go far enough.
Where is that Posada hater? Let me guess "He still gave up 5 runs. He sucks. He hits HR but he can't make up for the runs he gave up"
ReplyDeleteHe's a crybaby bitch of a red sox fan. He always disappears when the Yanks are winning.
ReplyDeleteRight about now he is weeping in his mommy's basement because the Yanks won!
Did anyone see that retarded Jays' fan who almost hit Aceves throwing the ball back on the field?
ReplyDeleteI saw the rerun in the game at the top of the 9th inning this afternoon on ESPN. Didn't wake up early since i thought ESPN won't be showing any yankees game today. Still all is good that the Yankees are winning :D.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless the Yanks!!
