I have a feeling that Burnett won't stink.
Me too.
I think he'll get on another roll starting tonight. He hasn't been THAT bad his last 2 starts.
Magic number is now 17!
17? Oh yeah!
Pretty soon 16!
I'm going with Jeters magic #4. I really want him to pass Gerhig so he can just put it all behind him.
Yeah. Maybe he'll have a 3 or 4-hit game tonight. He's going up against Andy Sonnanstine and a weak Rays bullpen.
Will crossfire have a night to remember if Jeter as 4 hits tonight.
*has
Any reason we keep using the devil rays logo? Could have sworn we were playing the Rays
So does my uncle.
They are playing the Rays. Greg likes the old logos though. So do I.
Greg likes to use retro logos, so I guess I shouldn't change it.
Your uncle is lucky if he sees Jeter pass Gerhig. Then that ticket would be worth a lot of money. But I would hang on to it though.
Wasn't your uncle the one that showed you blogger?
No my other one.
He's pretty cool too, but not as big a Yankee fan as my other uncle. He does take me to a lot of games though.
Oh. I found this blog on my own. Found it when Greg had his first post EVER. I was anon for a while then I trusted you guys so I started using my name.
My uncle has a lot of money. But he's always busy. He loves the Yankees.
I found it because of his new stadium updates, and tha't all I used to look at. Then I just started following the entire blog and I started to love it. It's really awesome. I wish my blog was as good as his.
Same here. The uncle that brings me to Yankee games is pretty rich too. He's an entrepreneur, so he brings in close to $2,000 a week. It's crazy.
I'm not a very good reader or a speller. But this site has helped me with that problem and my parents like me coming on here a lot because my grades are going up. And I have to thank Greg that.
Really? wow. good for you.
My uncle is a lawyer.
oh
I know a few friends that are big yankee fans. Maybe I can tell them about the site if you want.
Your site I mean.
Thanks. I met a lot of die-hard fans at Yankee games this year and I give them flyers for my site and explain it to them and they go
"oh yeah, this is cool, defenitely I'll check it out" but in reality they don't give a crap.
I mean, I thought die-hards would at least give it a look but I haven't got 1 comment from any of them.
(besides you of course)
Then again, I never met you at a Yankee game.
Game time baby!
Thanks for "Really? wow. good for you". My teachers, however, have very high hopes for me being a writer. I get a lot of 12s on writing assignments. Thats a 100%
To be honest with you, when I went to a game this year, I told them about yours and Gregs site. They said,"uhhhhhhhhhh look nice play by A-Rod. Way to end the inning".
Yeah. My teachers say I'm the best writer in the class. I love writing, it's my favorite subject, besides reading at least.
When I grow up I either want to be a Yankees writer or a broadcaster for YES.
lol thanks
I laughed.
BTW, I just told one of my friends about your site. He's going there now.
cool. thanks so much man.
Is he fond of blogger or Yankee sites?
1-0.
3 outs, finally! Where did everybody go?
Hi guys.
Got a question: if Burnett does not improve before the postseason, would you pitch him or Andy in Game 2 of the ALDS?
I would start Andy, because given the offense (who can destroy anybody not name Doc Halladay), I would prefer Andy who is almost sure to give you 6-7 innings of 3/4 run-ball, instead of AJ who can pitch 8 shutout but can almost as often give up 7 runs on 11 hit in 3.2.
What do you think?
Go Bombers, as always.
I would defenitely start Andy, no doubt. Mainly because of how he's pitched compared to A.J. this year, and his experience of playing in the postseason.
So Vinsanity, what's up?
I got my friend Nick. He said he'll be hear in a flash.
Cool.
Since the anniversary of 9/11 is coming up, do you want to here the craziest 9/11 theorie/conspiricy ever?
Not too much, just started a new year in school in Paris. Looking forward to the postseason, more than ever.
This board is pretty boring without all the f*****g Red Sox/Mets trolls. Just kidding :).
I may come to NYC for Christmas with my family, I'd love to.
Go Bombers.
I gotta go YB. Nick just came to your site.
Have a great night you all and lets hope that the Yankees are 9 games ahead after tonights game.
Yikes. Hope Hairston's okay.
If AJ gives up this lead, you can just already send him to Detroit for Game 3 of the ALDS.
Hope he does not.
Go Bombers.
Wow! What an inning. And I got home from a Labor Day bbq 15 mins too late. Just as well Joe G knows how to pick a lineup better than I do!
OK derek can't buy a hit, & AJ you've just been given a 8-1 lead, DON"T FUCK IT UP...
Hey guys. Where have you been? It's been a pretty slow night on the blog, but not for the Yanks.
What an inning. Too bad Derek hasn't gotten a hit today.
Were all over at your site YB..........
Great inning there for the offense. Now we need AJ to get some quick outs. Would like to see him go at least 7.
DJ's waiting til Friday night when I'll be there! Weird day...everyone has a hit tonight except the man we all want to see get one.
Happy B-day Greg. The Yanks won for U. My Facebook account do disabled for adding to many friends. I will get it back tommorow. So I will have to call them. So happy B-Day and goodnight.
Was hoping to see history at the Stadium tonight. Didn't see history but saw an ass whoopin'.
I'm going to the game on Wednesday so I am hoping Jeter gets 3 hits tomorrow.
I'm wondering why there's two tuesday's on the month scoreboard on the main yankees.mlb.com page. I'm a little bit confused.
Hi Karen,
There was a double header at Yankee Stadium on Monday. My computer shows it as two Monday games but perhaps your computer recognizes that because you are half a day ahead of us because you are half way across the world from Yankee Stadium, (I forgot exactly where you live) it shows 2 games on Tuesday.
i love rays
