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

He's catching plenty of grief on the Rangers board I read. He's a complete liability in the field and doesn't really have the bat to justify his performance at third. Face of the franchise my ###.

Real Roger Dorn type of effort on that one. Made even more noticeable because it came I think the inning either before or after A-Rod played a ball off his chest to make a play.

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.

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.

Jesus. How can "pissed" even come into it? Your team just won the first game of the ALCS for crying out loud. Are Yankee fans really so spoiled that they need the style points to be happy?

Yes, Yankee fans are universally the biggest dooshbags known to man. Y23Fan is also the most spoiled, arrogant fan on the board. He's the one guy who doesn't understand the competitive advantage the Yanks have due to their quarter-billion dollar payroll. Even the other fans like Michael Brown and Shady seem to get that.So, enjoy the series with them.

[Raider Nation]

Christ, Posada got so right there. A rookie catcher knows not to throw through on that play!

 

[shadyridr]

How many years has Posada played in this league? Seriously

 

[Smack Tripper]

Could aj be any worse than these two?

I'd imagine is pretty tough to come back from a 5-0 hole on consecutive days

I was paying you a compliment. Out of all the mouth-breathing, idiot, arrogant Yankee fans, you're the king of the mountain.High five?

 

[Smack Tripper]

Tbs really does a bad job, when jeter is k'ed at the knees, I need a shot from the 1b camera well on a ball that read low, don't cut to the blimp shot.

 

[shadyridr]

You guys still think this series is over?

They won't let you sit with them still, huh? Sorry 'bout that. It is adorable when kids try to act like adults though.

 

[Smack Tripper]

Terrible zone out of the Plate ump today. Eric greggesque

 

[Masked Vigilante]

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

 

[Workhorse]

The Yankee starting pitching is getting worked this series. They are surprisingly thin for a near great team.

 

[Smack Tripper]

Well considering that hughes and cc stunk, a 1-1 split on the road is a win.

I feel like they'll either beat lee or Aj will find it for one day and we will be 2-2 one way or the other. The Texas bats are as good as I feared, still happy to have avoided them in the alds. I'm sti leaning Yankees if cano stays this locked in. Feliz will give one up at the stadium.

I changed my mind, I think CC goes on short rest in Game 4 assuming lee beats us G3

CC has been ####e his last two starts, but maybe you're right. You're also pulling Hughes and Pettite forward under that scenario(unless you throw Burnett Game 5 and whats the point of pulling him up). I don't see it happening.

CC has pitched on 7 days rest and 8 days rest. Ive never seen CC that wild like he was in the first inning. I have full confidence in CC and I guarantee you he pitches great his next time out.

 

[shadyridr]

I would start AJ G3, CC G4 on 3 days rest, Pettitte G5, Hughes G6, CC G7

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Rangers have to be happy with the split considering what happened in game 1, and that Cliff Lee hasn't pitched yet.

At least you got your blowout tonight, huh?

No kidding. They are playing great. One bullpen hiccup from 2-0. This Rangers team is fun to watch.

 

[Smack Tripper]

The Rangers agression really benefitted them today, because that ump had a huge zone, so I don't know if was their scouting or Hughes inability to exploit it. I know we'll be dealing with a different zone Game 3, but if they choose to be that aggressive against Petitte, I feel like he'll be better able to exploit it.

Offensively, they are schitzo as always. Based on the fact they've put together one inning in two games against some largely pedestrian pitching outside of Wilson, 1-1 looks pretty good. I'd like to see Kearns in there for Gardner next game to get one more stick in there.

 

[the moops]

and I guarantee you he pitches great his next time out.

Unofficial team mascot "Freddy Sez" died today. O/U on the number of people who bring a frying pan and a spoon to the game tomorrow night?

Wow, this is as big a deal as Steinbrenner or Shep, because as a Yankee fan from the late 80's on, he was as much part of the stadium experience as anyone. He's in that damn Cano-Nike commercial! Because I actually MET Freddy, and clanged that damn too many times to remember!RIP Freddy, here is he about 3:00 in...

Really? :sad: I love that guy. I was so happy to see him in the new stadium I made my family walk halfway around the place to find him.

Yeah I'll have to dig up the picture I took with him a couple years back. Guy was only 82, though he's looked about 100 for the last 20 years. Not gonna be the same not hearing him banging on that pot all game.I heard yesterday that "Jimi Hendrix", the guy who used to wail on his electric guitar out on River Ave by the McDonald's, also died.Marlboro Man better watch out, these Yankee Stadium icons are going left and right.

 

[culdeus]

When was the last time the Yankees were home dogs in a playoff game?

 

[shadyridr]

So I guess thats ballgame?

Can the Yanks ever take a ####in lead?

 

[Billy Bats]

Jesus, TBS playing the commercial break music as the groundball is rolling to second base. Can't wait to run those ads!!

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Granderson vs Lee

 

[Billy Bats]

Gardner safe at first, but he should be called out for the head first slide on principal.

Eta: oops, he missed the bag.

Yeah he did miss the bag. Not sure how you miss the bag sliding into first, but that d-bag Gardner found a way.

 

[Smack Tripper]

What is the party line on the schmootz on Lee's hat?

 

[Billy Bats]

What is the party line on the schmootz on Lee's hat?

It's supposedly only rosin, and allowed to be there.

Granderson vs Lee

 

[shadyridr]

rosin is legal

 

[shadyridr]

Granderson vs Lee

Anybody vs Lee is

Granderson is one of the worst LH hitters vs any LHP you'll ever see. Seeing him vs Lee is comical.

Nice job by Andy Pettitte tonight.

I can't believe people would watch that football game over this. Terrible.

I actually watched a hockey game over this. That NFL game sucks. But I'm not watching any ####ing Yankee home playoff games. Hater.
