- Ian Snell has faced the Yankees one time in his career, back on 8/13 of this season, and got hammered. In 6 innings he allowed 8 runs on 9 hits, walked 3 and struck out 4 on his was to a loss.

- The Yankees a 6-3 against the Mariners this year.

- With a win and a Rangers loss today the Yankees would clinch a playoff berth.

- Robinson Cano is hitting .377/.413/.551 with 2 HR and 5 RBI this month.

- Joe Girardi told the media that Chad Gaudin is officially this team's fifth starter now. Sergio Mitre will pitch out of the bullpen.

  2. I'm a Giants fan, but I love watching the Pats lose. Besides the Red Sox and the NFC East they're my most hated team.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Hahahaah you must be a Pats fan too... AHAHAHHAHAHA

    ReplyDelete
  4. Jack, you need to give it a rest. I can imagine how pathetic your life must be, but seriously, you're 12 years old. Go out and play ball or something.

    ReplyDelete
  5. You should do the same. Oh thats right you are to old and a bitch.

    ReplyDelete
  6. I'm enjoying myself just fine watching my first place Yankees and football with a few cold ones.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Jack what the hell is wrong with you? Do you have a mental disorder? I think you do. You need serious help.

    ReplyDelete
  8. you need serious help? I think you should keep that to yourself. i don't want to hear about your personal problems.

    ReplyDelete
  9. you do too. wow i really don't want to know about your personal problems.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I think he's so young and stupid that he doesn't realize how unfunny he is. It's one thing when a troll is actually humorous, but this kid is just stupid.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I know what you mean, Not Jack the Fag.

    ReplyDelete
  12. don't say that your stupid.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Jack the annoying dick. READ THE
    Privacy Policy. If you know what it is.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Hey Liam, do you have any school yearbooks or class photos with Jack in them? I have an idea. *laughs menacingly*

    ReplyDelete
  15. No I don't Greg. I don't get yearbooks.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Back to the bad Joba. Chad Gaudin for fourth starter is picking up more steam with every pitch.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Damn, I had some wonderful photoshop ideas.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Yes but there not aloud in school. But i'll try to get a pic of him if you need one.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Do you know the kid with the upside down head?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Hahahahah yea, Tom Tucker's son Jake. He looks like him?

    ReplyDelete
  21. I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    !!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Yes he does. LOL. Or James Bottomtooth.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I had to change my name back. My dad didn't like it.

    Party pooper.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Anyone here think if Ken Griffey Jr. wasn't injured all those years with the Reds, he would be the home run king today, or close to it?

    ReplyDelete
  25. lol that understandable. Sorry Liam's dad.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Yes YB, but he's seriously sad to watch now. What's he hitting? .217? Truly pathetic to see someone who was once the best player in the game play this poorly.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Go here guys. Probably looks and talks like Jack.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7qHmqQWLyw

    ReplyDelete
  28. Yeah. He was one of my favorite non-Yankee players up until like 3 years ago when he really started slowing down.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I think Griffey would have 800 homers if he wasn't injured. But he was some player though. To bad he's getting old.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Wow, Joba really stinks. I'm getting so sick of watching this kid attempt to pitch.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Yeah. I feel so bad seeing guys like Jason Giambi, Ken Griffey Jr., etc. really starting to slow down. Both of them were once the best player in the game.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Yep. They should send him to the Arizona Fall League, and learn how to be a starter.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Thanks to his innings limit they can't.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Joba does stink. I'm watching the Stealers and Bears game.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Boy am I pumped for tonight's game. I'd love to see Big Blue spoil the home opener of Cowboys Stadium and really stick it to Dallas.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Walk Ichiro... Setup the force anywhere.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Crap. 3-0. Come on Joba!!!

    Maybe Jeter should go out and talk to him again.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Good, I don't care what Gutierrez does, this is the right move.

    Anyway, yea I'm pumped for tonight too. I hate the Cowboys with a passion.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Oh sure, now walk Ichiro. 2 days late on that Joe.

    ReplyDelete
  40. just like the yankees.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Great, he walks in a run.... lol he's so painful to watch. Take this bum out while they're still in the game.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Now's it 4-0, you guys were a run ahead.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I say bring in Kennedy. It's already a loss if Joba is still pitching like this.

    ReplyDelete
  44. it would be a nice loss.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I'd have no problem with that Liam. But I'd let him start an inning. Don't bring him in with men on, that's not fair to the kid.

    ReplyDelete
  46. See ya YB. Bye Jack. I'll kick your butt later.

    ReplyDelete
  47. lol, when Grandpa Junior takes you deep you know your day is over.

    ReplyDelete
  48. JOBA is determined to ruin this season, banish him to the bullpen, if the AAA season wasn't over, he'd be on the first flight to WB/S now...

    ReplyDelete
  49. I'm starting to think they should have traded him while he still had value.

    ReplyDelete
  50. They're going to let Joba pitch the third? WHY?

    Is Girardi really THAT stupid?

    ReplyDelete
  51. I'm gonna go now Greg. I gotta do so homework. Stupid High School.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I'm going to get a google account.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Later Greg. I hope your smart enough to do that Jack. And you used capital letters for once.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Way to come up small Joba!

    The only way I start Joba in a game in the post season is if Gaudin is warmed up and ready to relieve him.

    He is consistently inconsistent.

    ReplyDelete
  55. If Girardi's brain is still functioning he would have Kennedy pitch today. This game is pretty much over and he has to be better than Joba.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Oh well, this one's over. Bears-Steelers time.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Greg aren't you legitimately worried? This team is going to travel to Anaheim with a 5 game division lead while the sox are playing the royals. The way Boston is playing and the way the Yankees are playing they could very easily be the wild card team come October.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Wow, I am so glad that Posada has returned from his suspension so he can give up 7 runs in 2 innings!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Am I worried? A little. More so for the playoffs. I hate the idea of handing the ball to Joba in any meaningful situation.

    ReplyDelete
  60. http://www.philadelphia-reflections.com/images/panic-button.jpg

    PUSH IT NOW.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Anon, Jack, whomever, Joba gave up the runs, you idiot.

    ReplyDelete
  62. No, Posada did. Your the idiot!

    ReplyDelete
  63. At least the Sox have to face Greinke.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Yea but just the thought of allowing Boston back into the race makes me sick, the way the Yankees have played this year the division should be a guarantee. Now we have to worry about playing Boston with only a 2 game lead.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Hey, the Yankees are facing Snell, and their losing! UP YOURS!

    ReplyDelete
  66. They have a 5.5 game lead. Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Red Sox will win the division.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Just turned on the TV and I'm in shock and awe. Wtf? These are the Mariners, not the Angels. Joba should be ashamed of himself. 7-0 down to a pitcher like Ian Snell. Time for this joke experiment to end. Put him back in the pen and treat him like Bruney until he proves he can still pitch.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Like I said, the Yanks are out of it.

    ReplyDelete
  70. The way that they are playing, they are done.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Wow, looks like the Yankees fans transition to acting like Red Sox fans is complete. Stop worrying, at least for now. Worst case scenario is the Yanks 4.5 games up with 12 to go.

    ReplyDelete
  72. What are you talking about?

    ReplyDelete
  73. So who is at fault with this entire Joba situation?

    It it simply that Joba was over hyped the last two years, and he actually sucks?

    Or is the coaching staff screwing him up with all of this innings limit stuff?

    With the way they handled Wang, and are handling Joba I am seriously starting to think that the Yanks should fire the entire coaching staff, even if they do win the World Series.

    This shit is unacceptable for a team that has the highest payroll in professional sports.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Well I posted the first two entries under the name
    Mike but apparently someone likes to impersonate other people so I'll stick to anonymous. And the only reason I said 5 was because this game is clearly over so it will be 5.

    ReplyDelete
  75. I'm gonna go now.....bitch! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  76. Oh oh, that was the impostor. Yea it's 5 as we speak due to Boston's win. If they end up losing it will be 4.5.

    ReplyDelete
  77. i am beside myself that ian snell is out dueling us. i am thoroughly embarrassed as a yankee fan, joba needs to get his head out of his ass... he's is so over rated, he's pathetic...

    ReplyDelete
  78. Well yea if they get swept in Anaheim (which wouldn't be the first time) and if the sox sweep the royals (also very possible) it will be 2.

    Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself a little but the sox should have never been allowed to creep within 5 this is sad.

    ReplyDelete
  79. I agree with that. Blame Girardi and his managing as though this thing was already over. Hairston batting second, Edwar and Albaladejo coming out of the pen before Coke, Aceves, Hughes, etc. after an off-day.

    ReplyDelete
  80. No Greg it's 5.5 as we speak due to Boston's win when the Yankees lose it will be 5.

    ReplyDelete
  81. That's right, forgot it was six coming into today.

    ReplyDelete
  82. who is IAN SNELL, oh yeah he's the punk that gave up on the pathetic pirates, and we're making him look like CY YOUNG

    ReplyDelete
  83. Cano's at-bat officially ended this one. Had he brought those runs in and kept the line moving they might have had a chance at a big comeback. Oh well, 5 up with 12 to play. Let's home they don't embarrass themselves against the Angels. I'm gonna go eat, later people.

    ReplyDelete
  84. this is bullshit people. this officially shows that joba cant handle the playoffs. i dont care how well he does in his remaining starts, he wont start in the playoffs period. and the fact that mitre did better than him, went longer than him, and didnt give up any runs just proves my point even more. put him in the pen but please, girardi, dont have him start. period.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Joba talked almost as much crap after the game as he threw during it. When are the Yankees going to face up to the fact that this guy is not going to make a starter and get him back to what he does best, throw one-inning heat from the pen

    ReplyDelete
  86. Hank ("I'm the baseball guy, my brother is the business guy") Steinbrenner said that Joba is a starter. Period, end of discussion! No one in the organization can say anything else. Cashman is having one of those "I can't tell the boss his idea is crazy, we'll just have to do it and let him see for himself" moment. Hank has a plan and he's sticking to it. When Joba goes into the HOF as a 300 game winner he can thank Hank for his great plan.

    ReplyDelete
  87. See my comments on Joba in the other thread.

    Ina nutshell, he sucks.

    Mike
