Okay Bibi Netanyahu, let’s see if your theory about red lines works. I’m drawing a red line at prior to one Yankee loss before the season ends. If the Yankees lose I will go to both the UN and NATO and obtain a resolution that will allow the use of force to ensure the Yanks win the division.
What will you do if the Yankees blow this bases-loaded no-out situation?
I’m pretending there is no one on, that way I won’t be disappointed.
We always complain when they don’t get the runners in. Well, they got 2 of them in. They did the job, even if they didn’t break the game open.
I predict one strikeout and one doubleplay equals one run scored… Couldn’t be happier to be wrong. I’ll take a sac fly any day.
Well, no RISP hits, but at least they got 2 runs.
We’ve been actually doing well with two out rallies recently. I’m sure glad Joe started Jones, The rally killer, so we can get back to normal.
I hope Jones breaks out. That would be a big help.
Damn, but sooner or later Pettitte had to give up a tun.
Right after Michael Kay went into this whole thing about Pettitte not giving up home runs.
I didn’t realize Jayson Nix isn’t with the team.
Yeah, a problem with his Hip, Hip, Jorge
I miss Jorge.
I hope Gomes roams and Andy picks him off.
Bases loaded no one out again. I’ll take 2 more runs.
Or more.
It’s deja vue all over again!
OK, Jones. BREAK OUT!
Still curious to me as to how in the world a guy like Ricky Romero has struggled so mightily this season
I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder
Why
Ah-why-why-why-why-why he can’t pitch away
And I wonder where he will stay
My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway
Apologies to Del Shannon
If Jones can’t hit that pitch, he can’t hit.
At least Jones didn’t ground into a DP. But he is a complete waste of an AB right now.
Christ Joe can we give up on Jones? I want to see Melky Mesa and dont really see how in any way shape or form that Andruw Jones can be better.
I don’t think Girardi would trust Mesa at this stage in his career, no matter what he does. He’s hoping Jones finds it. If not, he might even still play him.
This game is making me VERY nervous. Way too many missed opportunities.
Andrew Jones, Chris Stewart…
I want Frankie V. He knows how to get clutch hits.
39 RBIs this year.
Joe can do much better than Jones. Personally I really want to see Dickerson get a few shots. Although it’s a small sampling, his .333/.467/.833 Has earned him at least another look. And when he does get on, he Steals bases. Defensively, he’s far above the 2012 Andruw Jones.
I agree. But I don’t think Girardi does.
I’ll bet Ibanez gets in the game before C-Dick.
Get some frigging runs for Andy!!!
No more blowing opportunities. I demand runs!
If the Yanks don’t score I’m going to the International Court and charge the Yanks with genocide against their fans. They’re killing us!!
You got a case. As long as no Pirates fans testify.
Pirating is agin the law. Their fans can’t testify.
Come onnn!! The platoon DH thing isnt working. Why is everyone so afraid of using young players on the Yankees? Very frustrating
It’s not everyone. It’s Girardi.
I was hoping for some Ibby pop, but instead got some Ibby poop.
Another blown opportunity with this First and third with one out. OM God, If the Blue Jays didn’t smell blood before, they sure do now. This has loss written all over it now.
Good recovery by the slow acting Grandy.
Held the runner, too. Although if he had run, I don’t know if Granderson would have thrown him out.
Was that ball going foul?
Michael Kay says yes, the umps say no.
You want to know what this game is doing to me:
And, they’re coming to take me away, ha, ha
They’re coming to take me away, ho, ho, hee, hee, ha, ha
To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time
And I’ll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats
And they’re coming to take me away, ha, ha
Thank you Napoleon XIV
I’m crazy
Crazy for feeling so blue
What happened? Why is Jeter playing SS?
If Jeter was available, why the heck didn’t he start at short? And why didn’t they put another infielder on the roster if Nix was unavailable?
They put in Jeter for his defense apparently. Which is really funny especially at the expense of the DH spot.
Where was Cano on that? If they didn’t want to win this game they should have forfeited it and save their fans all this aggravation.
He was playing deep behind second. i dont know of a second baseman fast enough to get over there if they were standing in the same spot. Annoying but well executed play by the Jays to take advantage of the defensive alignment
Jeff Mathis: Yankee Killer. Remember in 09 in the playoffs?
Joba has not done well with inherited runners. Thank God for another stupid base runner for the Frozen Custards!
Who had 18 HRs for Rodriguez in the pool?
Oh no leadoff runner is on. This has the smell of a bad inning.
We’ve got two innings to make it happen. To repeat Hey much-publicized fact, we’re 0-66 when behind after eight innings.
Come on Robbie, knock Loup for a loop!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2 runs…
He couldn’t have done one of those last inning?
Granderson is useless.
Hopefully he’s playing Swisher into a new Yankee contract.
The Blue Jays keep trying to give this game away. Will the Yankees take it?
In a word, No.
There’s no way the ump could see that!
That’s the ball game. See you guys tomorrow.
Pray that the replacement players can beat the birds!
Game and lead over! I simply can’t see the O’s losing to Pawtucket.
Can you see the Yankees losing to Pawtucket?
They’d love to ruin the Yanks season, so sure.
I’m sick of Boone Logan.
Plus a few others.
Now Itchy can end the game with a caught stealing!
Even if the Yankees wanted to attempt to rally, they couldn’t. Not with this shitty strike zone.
I can’t type how mad I am. Chat y’all tomorrow.
Awful.
We fucking stink. /rant
