Yet Molina is still in the lineup after Cervellis walk-off.
I hate west coast trips with a passion.
Me too.
You better not be Jack.
What am I saying? He would say the Yankees suck. Your most likely not him.
Yankees Suck!...NOT! im'ma borat verrry niice!
Burnett better correct his sinking ship.
kim jones can suck on my pole.
He has too. He is going to be a big part of the playoffs this better be the night that all of his problems are corrected.
whoa?
...dont worry about it.
I hope he corrects himself tonight.
He sure does.
Verrry niiiicce
I'm going to bed. Night Durden. Night Mr. Verrry niiiice.
Good Evening ya'll!
Go Yanks!!!
Just like that Yanks up 1-0
boo
that would've been back to back hrs at yankee stadium
anybody know why kim jones is on 880?
way to go MO, 1000 K's ok, damit, 1 more out...
shit. I knew they should have walked him. I said it before he got up. I wasn't expecting a homer but i don't care if he was 2 for 10 against Mo, he's a great hitter.
Dam
Last time Girardi made Mo intentionaly walk a batter it became a circus because Mo was complaining that he could get Longoria out.
Way to go, Mo. Seriously, get a clue. You just got rocked by Sweeney with a pitch taht was not in the correct location and you come back and do the same thing with one of the best hitters of all time. Typical stupidity all the way around, all because of pride.
I'm sad about the loss. argh!
This is exactly why the Yanks won't win the playoffs. Terrible decisions, poor managing, horrendous defense and PRIDE. Just walk him, duh.
5 back in the loss column. How friggin stupid can you be Girardi and Mo?
Mo ALWAYS does this bullshit when we dont need him too.
The mistake was pitching to Ichiro. Month hit his spot but ichiro knew what was coming. Stupid managing. Ok back to the bar.
Mo hit his spot I mean. Stupid auto correct.
I got home just in time to see the 9th inning. Needless to say, i'm not going to sleep well tonight. Before Ichiro stepped into the batters box, I said, "walk him".
Can someone explain to me why they pitched to Ichiro?
I thought they were gonna win...i can't get over this. Gah!
Why would you put Ichiro on? You don't put the winning run on base. That's simple baseball.
And Anon, take a fuckin' chill pill. We're six games up on the Sox with only a couple weeks left. Calm down and stop acting like a little bitch.
Pardon my french, but F**K Ichiro, and F**K Sweeney. That's ridiculous. And thanks for nothing Baltimore and Texas. A combined ONE FRAKIN RUN in 18 innings. Well played. Nice night.
