nyrsuck26 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 All I'm gonna say is that AJ better pitch one helluva game tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Facepainter Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Obviously the Yankees losing this series wouldn't make many happy here, but it would help support my match-up theory. I think in all sports there are unfavorable match-ups, even if you're a great team like the Yankees. The Yankees just don't match up well against this team. The Rangers starting pitching rotation has made a very good Yankee pitching rotation look like a joke so far. If it weren't for the relief pitching collapse in games 1, this series would already be over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefiestygoat Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 I have faith in AJ! This team is not dead despite what the haters are saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteyNice Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Wow Berkman was robbed. That ball hit the pole. So much for review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefiestygoat Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 At first I thought the Berkman HR was foul and that they got it right....but in that last replay (zoomed in and in slow-motion) it seems the ball ever so slightly grazes the foul pole...you can see it change directions....hopefully that doesn't come back to haunt the Yankees. Still upset A-rod couldn't make that play to hold the Rangers to just one run that inning. Very frustrating game to watch, sometimes I hate baseball.

In August he gives up a HR to Young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefiestygoat Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 Bases loaded, 1 out, time to strike is now!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefiestygoat Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 fvck, Gardner almost gets it thru but Andrus made a play to get the out and allow just 1 run to score....not sure whey the fvck Cervelli is hitting here. fvck you Girardi!

PeteyNice Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Why? Mediocre AJ is such a head case. If you PH Posada you have to take him out too. You really want the bullpen to cobble together four innings? That means you're likely to see Mitre and that ilk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefiestygoat Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 Uh no....I don't think it matters who the hell catches AJ, he's most likely going to suck or be rocky at best, might as well use a major leaguer like Posada. Cervelli can't hit for sh!t and this year he can't even play well defensively. He has no business playing....I hope the ditch that a$$hole this offseason and get a back up catcher who can actually play defense if he isn't going to hit.

PeteyNice Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 AJ clearly thinks it matters and his opinion is what counts. I agree on Cervelli. He is useless as a baseball player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefiestygoat Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 What the hell was that a$$hole fan doing interfering with Gardner? Throw him out! Nice to see AJ work out of another jam! Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmigliore Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 To anyone reading this thread sorry if I'm being an jerk, these games kill me on the inside. I admit it is fun to read ; "fvck Girardi! That fan is a fvcking a$$hole, throw him out of here! fvck Cervelli! Go snort coke, Washington and Hamilton! fvck you Andrus, you can't a ball out of the infield!" But I'm pretty much the same way during games, especially on Twitter, as you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefiestygoat Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 Wow, I think Tex is done for the year. Horrible. Why is Girardi using Thames to pinch run? Why not use Kearns who can run faster and play better defense? I admit it is fun to read ; "fvck Girardi! That fan is a fvcking a$$hole, throw him out of here! fvck Cervelli! Go snort coke, Washington and Hamilton! fvck you Andrus, you can't a ball out of the infield!" But I'm pretty much the same way during games, especially on Twitter, as you know.

PeteyNice Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I don't understand why AJ was pitching to Molina or why you walk Murphy to allow him to face Molina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefiestygoat Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 Ugh, hate to say it but I think that home run just ended the Yankee's season. Not even trying to be pessimistic, hell I was the one today telling everyone that the Yankees are still very well alive, but to lose this game, and lose Tex....you may win Sabathia and Hughes starts but you are not beating Cliff Lee in a Game 7.

nmigliore Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 (edited) I don't understand why AJ was pitching to Molina or why you walk Murphy to allow him to face Molina. Because Murphy is a bigger threat than Molina? David Murphy vs RHP this year: .837 OPS Bengie Molina vs RHP this year: .545 OPS I can't see how anyone can plaster Girardi for that. I'd take my chances vs Molina any day. Hes terrible. Edited October 20, 2010 by nmigliore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteyNice Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 If you are going to IBB Murphy you take AJ out. He was around 100 pitches and clearly losing what command he had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrydevil Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Wow Berkman was robbed. That ball hit the pole. So much for review. The ball was foul, and the first HR should have been an out for interference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that didn't end it Joba and Logan got it done in the 7th. I don't understand why we haven't drilled Hamilton. ETA: Why is Kearns on this team again? As bad as Berkman is hitting right handed, Kearns has to be a better option. Edited October 20, 2010 by PeteyNice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overtime98 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 yankees are getting their ass kicked in this ALCS. they need CC, Pettite to pitch hell of a games. IF they make it to game 7m do they turn to CC again on SHORT rest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF they make it to game 7m do they turn to CC again on SHORT rest? No, the rotation is set up CC, Phil, Andy for games 5, 6, and 7 respectively. I've pretty much given up hope but I suppose anything is possible and crazier things have happened in sports. Go Yankees! Hoping like all hell the bats get hot and they get some strong pitching performances. One at-bat a time now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beezer34 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Swisher's dodge when he was up in the 8th, infuriated me.. more than any other of the missed opportunity(s) the Yanks had last night. It's baseball 101.. LET IT HIT YOU! No excuse for anything less! He was behind on the count anyway, and the bases were loaded. He didn't even need to lean into it.. all he had to do was stand there. Do you think Jeter would've done the same?! Had he have allowed Oliver to hit him; it would've been a 7-4 game.. with the bases loaded.. and 1 out. Instead, he leaps out of the way ice-capades style.. finished the at-bat by flying out to center.. the Yankees end the inning without scoring any runs, leaving 3 stranded... and ultimately, lose the game 10-3. Did Swisher kill quality momentum for the Yanks to, not only win the game.. but possibly the series? You tell me. Swisher did not speak to reporters before leaving Yankee Stadium after the game had ended. Perhaps the realization of killing a rally, that may have had the Yanks 2-2 instead of 3-1 in this series.. set-in the moment he entered the dugout. Too little, too late sweetheart. ..lesson learned Swish. Next time, take one for the team -vs- trying to be a hero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
