Ill take notes from youMaybe you should work on your sense of humor, kinda sucks.Just like a dumb Yankees fan, everything comes down to spending more money.
It was poking fun at all the whiners about Yankees payroll blowing Texas out the water but I guess that went over your head.

Looked it up.In June and July the meaty months, every start was between 102 and 120 (11 starts). I wasn't watching when they pulled him out, but I;d guess Ron Washington wishes he'd have left him in for at least another two batters.

Yankee answer to everything
Remember the Rangers have not spent very much money anywhere. More seriously, the bullpen thoughout the year was solid to good. Can't defend they way they have not stepped up in the playoffs.

umm yeah that was my point. The Yankees payroll dwarfs the Rangers and that was a big story going into this series. I was just poking a little fun at those people who were whining about that. Try to keep up here.Yankee answer to everything

Rangers really miss Frank Francisco.

Hes been awesome no doubt but that leadoff walk was horrible

Thought I would never agree to that sentence, but absolutely.

Agreed... this game was a borderline must win for the Yanks.

He wasn't as good this year as he was last year, but outside Oliver (who sucked tonight) and Feliz they are a bit shallow. Francisco has great stuff and he'd be all pumped for this series, adding another 2 mph on his heat. He's a pretty solid 8th inning guy, and they needed him tonight. At least then you lose with your best guy, not Clay Rapada (tigers reject).

Wow, two strike bunt by the budding star. Well done.

nice play by Teix to avoid the baserunner

Pitching is a funny thing. Everybody in the stadium knows what he's going to throw. Young has seen him before but Rivera is still unhittable.

I loved Posada going out to the mound. I assume their conversation went something like this
osada: Whatta you wanna throw? A cutter?Rivera: YeahJeter jogs in: You still throwin a cutter?Rivera: Yeah

That 2-2 pitch Young fouled off was virtually unhittable and Young did a great job just to foul it off. And props to Smoltz to point it out during the broadcast,

Great play by Gardner, but I think both Cantu and wilson were off defensively on that play. Cantu underhanded the ball softly and wilson looked late to the bag.

GREAT ####### win!!!
Team was listless for 6 innings
Ron Washington managed that 8th inning scared

Why did he take Wilson out?
whoknew
Footballguy
I can sort of understand that. He was at 104 pitches, Jeter had just ripped a double.
But not bringing in Feliz in the 8th is terrible.

Especially after Oliver gave up the two walks. What the hell were you saying when they brought in Clay Rapada?

THat was funny.At that point, I figured it was only a matter of time until Casey Fien got the call.Especially after Oliver gave up the two walks. What the hell were you saying when they brought in Clay Rapada?

At that point, I wouldn't have been surprised if Mike Jeffcoat came out of the pen

I said..."Clay Rapada?!? CLAY RAPADA?!? The whole season, and maybe the biggest moment in franchise history, and you're leaving it up to CLAY RAPADA?!?!?!?"Especially after Oliver gave up the two walks. What the hell were you saying when they brought in Clay Rapada?
...to everyone within earshot in our complex.

Anyway Game 2 still very critical for NY. They've got Lee to beat us in Game 3, and get to tee off on Burnett in 4, so this series is far from over.

Fair Tax!
I don't know. I want hte Yankees to come out now and light them up in Game 2. I'm talking like 5 runs in the first inning and never look back kinda blowout. That on the heels on this might just kill the Rangers even with Lee pitching. But who knows. You're only as good as your starter.I'm a mix of pissed and ecstatic about the game. It should have never gotten to that point with CC on the mound, but I love the way they came back.

I'm not a big carryover guy, although sometimes it comes into play. But last night, wow, was that glorious. To just sit back and feel that wave of emotions, from anger in the first, to frustration in the third, to sort of being frankly resigned the game is over in the middle innings and then watching again with some hope with Jeter's double. It was such a great moment to be a fan and see all that come together!
But Texas is very talented, they're not going anywhere and in the end, a win is a win, and a loss is a loss and they're still sort of bulletproof until Feliz chokes one up. The Yanks won a game Sabathia started, thats SUPPOSED to happen, even if it was a very circuitous rout to get there. Carryover is Tommy Hunter. If he can make his pitches there is no carryover, and if he is mortal than I have every bit of faith in Hughes.

After last night I'd be shocked if the Yanks lose this series. They'll take this in 5.

How come Young isn't catching more grief for playing that ball off his hip? Knock the damn thing down!

Ron Washington managed that 8th inning like Ron Washington. "Scared" leaves some impression that there's a chance that he wouldn't do anything idiotic in other situations."That the way baseball go."
