But what about Swisher's barrel roll after missed it? So great.

 

[biggamer3]

I think not going with Robertson a 2nd inning was the biggest mistake, i had very little confidence that Phelps would get through this inning

does it really matter? yanks wouldnt have scored until raul comes back up in three innings anyway

yeah, Miggy-Prince-Delmon was biggest threat by far, If Yankees could have gotten through them they had two innings to score a run

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Hard to place too much blame on this inning on Phelps IMO. Pitched Cabrera tight, walked him. Got Fielder out. Swisher should have caught Young's ball. Then he got a grounder to short and one up the middle that plays couldn't be made on. This wasn't his fault.

He just havin fun out there!

ETA spelling and I barely know what thread I'm in anymore.

 

[biggamer3]

Tex is a fat ###, he tosses to Pitcher who is farther from bag then him

 

[scrumptrulescent]

Al Al better be in there!

Or Smyly I guess

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Scoobus was making fun of these two fan bases for hating their teams, but Jesus Christ...we have good reason. This game is not healthy.

I know, I love that. Speaking of Bryce Harper ( ), "BUT HE'S SO YOUNG!" And his swing is, "SO VIOLENT!".

 

[shadyridr]

great atbat swish!

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Swisher making sure he's not re-signed.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

great atbat swish!

Not a good night for Swish.

 

[shadyridr]

great atbat swish!

Not a good night postseason career for Swish.

 

[scrumptrulescent]

I take back what I said about Smyly. Wow, impressive coming into a game this big and taking care of business.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Smyly!!!!!! Kid has Moxy!!!!



#### Valverde, never again.

 

[Raider Nation]

GG Tigers fans. Gonna go vomit. See ya tomorrow.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Yikes. Smyly is still wet behind the ears.

Terrible decision. Albuquerque should have been brought in.

Smyly was very impressive.

 

[biggamer3]

Who else though this game was over when Martin connected on that ball to left and it was way foul? I thought it was 2 run homer there to win it

 

[Smack Tripper]

Swisher killed Jeter.

Burn in hell Girardi, how do you not advance Ichiro in the 11th. OR DIE TRYING WHO CARES IF HE'S THROWN OUT

 

[Smack Tripper]

And the bullpen is cooked with Kuroda going on 3 days rest....

Lets go Big Blue

 

[BobbyLayne]

GD I hate love this team

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Jeter has a fractured ankle.

 

[scoobus]

These playoffs have been unreal so far... on to game 2

 

[flapgreen]

Oof. Guess it was worse than it looked.

 

[whoknew]

Jeter has a fractured ankle.

Out for the series. HUGE blow to Yanks.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Oof. Guess it was worse than it looked.

He still need a tissue?

 

[BobbyLayne]

Wow that's a shame

 

[Mr. Know-It-All]

When the heart and sould is ripped out, what is left? Losing the game is bad enough but now they lost their captain. Detroit on to the WS I guess....

 

[Raider Nation]

Think the fellas rally a little bit and win one for the Gipper Jeter?

 

[Premier]

A-Rod can play SS

Sucks Jeter got hurt but this post in a sea of dreadful Jeter comments was perfect.

 

[Fly]

One of things I took from this is that the Giants or Cards are going to crush the winner of this series.

Managing is generally overrated but I can't wait for Matheny or Bochy to run circles around Leyland or Girardi logically.

 

[BRONG]

Why can't they play without their "heart and soul"? But OMG he's the CAPTAIN! If that happens at this team. I expect a fight.

 

[whoknew]

You think the NL team is going to crush the AL team because they have better in game managers? Seriously? That's absurd. The NL team manager may be much better than the AL team. But what's that worth over 7 games? 1 run? 2? The talent will dictate the series. Not the managers.

 

[Smack Tripper]

Reality sinking in on Jeter. There are maybe 5 yankees who I went to the ballpark and felt like it was an honor to watch play and just really tried to appreciate while they were there. Jeter is absolutely one of them. Losing the game, as much as we can say about the roller coaster, is completely secondary, to me, to losing him. The guy was max effort every day, every play and more often than not, he made the play. We could go on and on about him from a historic and fan perspective. He was in the autumn of his shortstop years anyway, but you really have to wonder if an ankle fracture will permit him to return there at age 38. And if not, where does he go. I had resigned myself to losing this series, but was not remotely prepared for this. It just really sucks. Life is funny. Boy is it ever funny. You look at a million plays, if the Yanks lose in 9, or if they win in 11 which keeps him off the field in the 12 and this conceivably never happens.

I wrote in the Nats thread a truism I believe as I get old. We may never pass this way again. Jeter may never be back in the ALCS under optimal circumstances, and now with this challenge, who knows. I'm really glad he got the 200th postseason hit tonight. An unbelievably impressive milestone.

I don't know. F everything. Get well Jete. And I hope these ballless wonders in your locker room show a bit of sack and go down with a fight.

And what a strange hollywood script that the game after A-Rod gets benched for the first time in his postseason career for performance, Jeter goes down on the field.

In a very real way, the page has been turned. Now lets see if these pricks have anything to write on it.

David Wells looks to be in better shape now as a broadcaster then he did as a player.

This isn't football, managers only play a role in close games and Leyland has won a World Series before, and he's been close on many other occassions. Matheney has done nothing, to think he could outmanage me is pushing it. Bochy has a worse career winning percentage and a lot less playoff experience. As poor of a decision in was to leave in Valverde turned into the great decision to go with rookie Drew Smyly in the 11th, and then again in the bottom of the 12th when the future closer (Al Al) was available.

Kinda like this.

 

[Smack Tripper]

And Ibanez looks like the Prometheus

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Jeter didn't get up. Neither are the Yankees.

RIP. It's been a good run. This team has to be a contender for oldest playoff roster in history.

Have fun with Arod's contract. FIVE years left?!?!

 

[Raider Nation]

Dear goodness people. Where did I say that? There's a reason that comment was separated. I even said that managing is generally overrated. Even so, Leyland's WS counts for something but Bochy's doesn't? Please, go back in this read and read all the comments on how poorly managed this game was.The NL squads have more talent. JV and CC notwithstanding I'd take the NL in every game. The bullpens for these AL teams are atrocious.

The AL teams have the five best players left in the playoffs:VerlanderCabreraCanoSabathiaFielderThe Cardinals just lost Garcia, have Carpenter who is not fully healthy and Wainwright who isn't all the way back either. Craig is a great hitter, Beltran and Holiday really good also but they are two feet across and ten feet deep. The Giants are a complete team, I think they are the best team remaining but I don't think they have more talent. They have a lot of trouble scoring runs sometimes and really are the NL version of the Tigers. Also the Yankees bullpen is pretty damn good at teh backend, as good as either NL team if not better. Soriano and Robertson are ridiculous.
