I don’t see my good buddy j montero in the lineup! WTF!
The Yankees & Dodgers in 2013! Very nice.
Obviously I’m trying to forget tonight’s game already!
Phleps will save the day.
What can he do to Schilling?
Hit him with a pitch.
Damn. ESPN has Curt Schilling,,,,ugh! UGH!!! Ugh I say!!
He was on the radio saying it was mathematically almost certain that two teams will finish in a tie and there will be a play-in game to play the play-in game.
I’ll have Bill Clinton talk to him about arithmetic.
Balt down early on Upton lead off HR.
Can you say, “Score board watcher!”
“Bored, scarred Swisher!”
excellent!
Cook stinks on ice. If they can’t pound him, they should just pack up and go home.
At their salaries, they probably have valets to pack for them.
There is nobody–but nobody–that Granderson cannot strike out against.
This game is bigger than big, bigger than Big, and bigger than BIG. What comes next?
bigger than BIGGER, bigger than BIGGEST
It’s YOOOOOJ.
Come on, Phleps, we need a BIG game from you.
Oh shit. Now we’re doomed. Schilling likes Phelps!
YES had him on screen as Phleps, and I like it better that way.
Phleps to first and gets Ciriaco.
Phleps comes through! (For one inning, at least.)
Balt retakes lead in bottom of 1st. WRF Happened to the Rays pitching?
The took Swisher out of the second spot.
If the Yankees get the ball to an outfielder at least it will be a moral victory.
Unbelievable. Cook!
Somebody needs to step up on offense. Actually several somebodies.
Will they score the run after the leadoff double? Or will they choke like a chicken?
Bawk bawk bawk!
Prior to tonight Cook’s ERA vs. Yanks is 10.24!
Yeah for Chavez!
Solid hit. Haven’t seen too many of those for the Yankees lately.
RISP DOOM!
At least Phleps looks good so far.
He can keep it close for the ‘pen to blow it.
Sounds like a plan.
Yanks now 1-15 RISP in this series.
Actually, Yankees RISP, just take out the S.
Thank God Grandy decided against a bunt!!
All right! Solo home run! The Yankees are on their game.
Got your rally tissue?
Yup. I’ll break it out!
It worked!
Glad you suggested that.
Since 1960, Cano has the 10th highest BA in Sept & Oct.
That’s interesting. I hadn’t realized that.
Courtesy of ESPN.
Score board envy in Baltimore.
Another double by Chavez. Maybe he can score this time??
Chavez has a double double.
He’s the Michael Jordan of baseball!
Come on Itchy, scratch out a run.
Nice.
deux-deux in Baltimore.
Bird deux-deux is guano.
lol
Someone guano win that game.
3 runs, but 0-2 RISP
Damn, there goes the shut down inning.
I wonder if someone has the stats on percentage of shutdown innings and where the Yankees are in relation to the league.
I wouldn’t be surprised that someone had that info.
I Binged it and got 7,875,387 articles about Strasburg
Here’s a post about it from August 8: http://ablogforarod.blogspot.com/2012/08/shutdown-innings-much.html
Love that tag by Jeter!
Iglesias, go back to the family business.
Still guano.
I get VERY worried when the Yanks keep missing out on scoring opportunities. Too often it bites them in the butt.
And this triple isn’t going to help.
Two out. Fingers crossed…
Yaaah!
WOW!!!! What a comeback by Phleps!
Phleps is da man.
Good thing Girardi started him in place of Phelps.
Interesting article on shut-down innings.
I have to admit that Schilling is actually very fair.
Damn, Swisher on 2nd. More RISP chances!
Back to the rally tissue!
Shouldn’t have gone to second. Then they’d have a chance for a two-run HR.
Itchy! Itchy! Itchy! Get it done!
Good job by Jones going into second.
Yeah, he broke up that DP.
0-10 RISP tonight. 1-22 last two games, that’s a BA of .045. Next time they have a RISP I’d send up one of the pitchers to bat, they sure couldn’t do any worse.
Yanks are 5-16 when they fail to a hit RISP. Worst one was 0-12, but beat Wash,
Those numbers are amazing.
You think those numbers are amazing, then how about these: 789, 305, and 856.
That DP was nice.
Good outing by Phleps. Hands the ‘pen with a nice lead to blow!
It’s too bad they didn’t have enough of a lead to let him try to get another inning or two.
Hey, the runner headed back to first. Two out, he’s supposed to take off.
Nowhere to run, baby
Nowhere to hide
In honor of you Professor;
Isn’t he a nowhere man
Living in his nowhere land
Thank you. I like that.
Swish channeling his inner Tex!
Runner on first, HR. Runner in scoring position, bupkis.
The Red Sucks have Granderson all ‘penned up tonight.
Yankees 48.4% of runs scored by HR. Os 47.6%
Swish with a double double!
He’s the Scottie Pippin of baseball!
Two players with a double double and one with a double quadruple.
32!
Nix helped the Yanks get closer to tying or breaking that 0-12 RISP and getting a win.
Sports update by Julius Caesar, II-II in bot. VII
Run scores but if he can get out of it with no further damage, I’ll take it.
Ugh. Ugh ugh.
Once again the ‘pen lets them back in it.
I’d let Joba out to try to get two outs, then Soriano for a 4-out save. If Joba can’t get the first guy…I don’t know.
Sounds like a plan. Not that I’d recommend it, by Girardi would probably go to Wade.
On. Over. In. Let’s Gooooooooo-oooooooooooo.
Errors took care of the on and over. Now the in, which the Yankees have trouble with.
C-Dick run.
See Salty throw
See ball skip
Why is Stewart hitting??
It’s all an act!
It made no sense letting him bat. And now Nunez should be running.
Damn but the Yanks have become bunt happy.
Crap crap crap crap.
Guano in the 8th.
Into the valley of guano rode the 500.
Uh Oh…..
I’m surprised that Robertson is pitching after throwing so much yesterday.
Me, too.
A.J. Burnett’s ERA+ is 103.
I actually would have thought it might be higher.
It was, but he reverted to being brutal the last few starts.
I hope it’s not serious with Jeter.
Cross your fingers.
Fingers, toes, and even my eyes are crossed.
Not enough. Cross your nostrils.
Ok. Now I’ve cross dressed.
Ha!
Nooooooooooooooooooo
Figured Soriano was going to try the 4-out save.
Well, here’s your call for a 4 out save.
There’s 1.
Cody Ross channeling Billy Martin!!!!!
Yanks need some All State runs here.
He should be on second. Interference.
Looks like a football game broke out at 1st base.
The Yanks have a chance to set a new season record going 0-13 RISP and winning the game.
Balt wins, walk off, 3-2
Boo.
0-13, 1-25, BA .040
Yuck.
ESPN has no info, YES say anything about Jeter?
A’s are up 1-0 on the Angels. That game could be very important for the Yankees.
%^&*%(^%^$^%$^#$^%%&
Wheeeeeeeew!!!!
Sori isn’t fooling anyone.
I guess the smurfinator isn’t coming tonight.
Ankle sprain. May play tomorrow!
Phew.
Uh. Oh.
And phew in general.
Let’s breath out. Takes off dress.
Nice to know they can split two games with a last place team.
Just your average 9 inning 3 hour 43 minute games vs. Red Sucks.
Chat at ya tomorrow.
