He does have a habit of giving up team crushing blown saves.
stop bitching about balls and strikes. he's called that pitch above the belt a little off the plate to lefties a strike all night.
A little off the plate? These pitches have been ridiculously off. They aren't even close. And I never said they were costing the Yanks anything. It's been bad for both teams. I mean look at that last at bat just now from Delmon Young. 2-2 count, and nothing remotely close to the plate in the pitch box. Not only that, all pitches were in the same small area and somehow a 2-2 count. There's no consistency either. It's way past the point of the liberal strike zone some umps have. This is just bad.

He's been consistently terrible all game. These guys are pros...it's part of their job to catch on to what the ump is or isn't calling and adjust. Such is life.

Of which I figured. I couldn't care about the name of the stadium. From MLB.com on the 2009 season: (http://mlb.mlb.com/news/press_releases/press_release.jsp?ymd=20091006&content_id=7371722&vkey=pr_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb)
Nine clubs drew more than three million fans (Dodgers, New York Yankees, Phillies, St. Louis Cardinals, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Chicago Cubs, New York Mets, Red Sox and Milwaukee Brewers) and 10 clubs averaged more than 35,000 fans per game (the above clubs plus the San Francisco Giants).
.................................................. ..........
The Milwaukee Brewers reached the three million mark (3,037,451) in attendance for the second consecutive season and the second time in franchise history. Milwaukee's 2009 attendance included 27 sell-outs.
Since the Seligs sold the team, Milwaukee has become a very good baseball city.

It's not like the Brewers are going to stay at this attendance level. Their owners show little desire to pay the big bucks. The high attendance this year was just run off from the mini-surge of last year, but that's going to taper off after Fielder signs elsewhere and Braun and Gallardo are traded in the next few years before their current deals are up. The Brewers will likely settle into a comfortable rut of minimal profit a la the Pirates. I AM A BASEBALL PROPHET, AND LO IT SHALL BE SO.

I'd love it if the Cubs weren't run by idiots and Bradley was right back out there in RF next year, batting #2 from the right side. He's a productive player and I have no desire to see him traded.
And you know the Brewers aren't going to resign Fielder. He doesn't even want to be there. DEAL WITH IT.

I don't give a fuck if ballplayers like each other or not. None of that matters when they have to play. Put the people on the field who are going to produce, period.
And you idiots aren't signing Fielder...and if you do he gets traded within 2 years of it happening. CC is so much more the superstar than someone like Prince. If they really wanted to stay at this level they would have bit the bullet and matched the Yankee's offer, insane or not. Prince is going to command serious money, especially from AL teams to DH. He's all but made it clear that Milwaukee isn't the ideal place he wants to be...why the fuck would the Brewers shell out for him when they've shown they don't pay the big money for a genuine marquee superstar that would have actually made them serious money and why the fuck would he accept their lowball offer?

When you compare that to his previous October performances, A-Rod has made a complete 180 up to this point.

Bullshit. He'll go right to being the goat around town if they don't win the WS. He had a fantastic October in 2004 and that was totally forgotten a year later. Also, his stretch of postseason AB's without a hit (or was it an RBI? One of the two) was only matched by Barry-freakin'-Bonds, which just shows how retarded it is to harp on the tiny sample size of the playoffs when it comes to judging a player's overall value.
Plus he's only had 2 postseasons where he was genuinely bad out of the 7 he's appeared in since becoming a fulltime player. (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/rodrial01.shtml?redir#batting_postseason) Saying he's "made a 180" implied he's always sucked in the playoffs, which simply isn't the case.

Even that ALCS he was decent:
.258 .378 .516 .895
Yeah, that average ain't hot, but that OPS is.
Though he definitely sucked in '05 and '06:
.133 .435 .200 .635
.071 .133 .071 .205
Ouch.
When you get down it, he's basically been good in about 30 out of the 40 postseason games he's played in. The "ARod sucks in the playoffs" myth comes down to him not performing in about 10 games: pretty standard sample size out of 40 games for any player.

He manages the same way every game no matter what his team is. it worked out great when he had guys like Rivera, Wetteland, Nelson and Stanton everything was fine. When he didn't he managed the same exact way and there were problems. He'd do stupid shit like run Mike Myers out there no matter how fucking awful he was just because he was a lefty.
He was unmatched at handling players but as an in-game manager he was bad and only got worse and worse. The current Yankee bullpen would be a disaster in his hands. Hughes would be out there over and over and over again, probably Aceves too, Robertson would never get a shot in a meaningful situation and I'm sure Bruney would have been sent out there over and over no matter how shitty he continued to be.

Torre is one of the worst bullpen managers in the game. I've complained about that for years. Like I said, the guy has his weaknesses... But at the end of the day, he HAS NOT MISSED THE PLAYOFFS IN 14 YEARS. You cannot possibly downplay that or take that away from the guy. Girardi inhereted the same team Torre had in 2007. Girardi missed the playoffs. You can't assume because a team is good on paper that they're a lock to make the postseason.
the Yankees still had Joba rules through the end of this season. do they not trust Girardi with his young arm?
They aren't Joba rules, he has an innings limit, like just about any young pitcher anywhere in the league. Unlike most other teams though they couldn't just shut him down at some point since they had the playoffs to worry about.
This is nothing like having to spell out exactly how the pitcher will be used because the idiot manager otherwise would use the 22 year old straight out of AA for multiple innings on consecutive nights.

But with Torre it wasn't just an innings limit. It was "You will only use him for this long, and you must give him this many days off." With Girardi there is no such concern. Is there Hughes rules? Of course not. Girardi knows how to handle a bullpen.
That whole weird thing they did in August and September with Joba was to make sure he didn't top his innings limit in the regular season because at the time they thought he'd be starting in the playoffs. But the most important thing is that Cashman didn't have to come to Girardi and tell him what to do. Girardi was part of the decision making. Torre wasn't because he has a history of destroying reliever's arms.

The funniest thing was, that was the biggest knock on Girardi when he was coming from the Marlins. Then the next knock was that he wasn't as adept at managing the players and the media like Torre was.
Two seasons in, he is working on being a better bullpen manager (something Torre never did) and working on better a better social manager.

Gardenhire must be doing everything he can not to flip out and start strangling people since Punto got picked off.
It's OK, he can start his winter job

For what it's worth, the Yankees only faced the Angels twice in the post season "as of late", 02 and 05, and both times were in the DS, not the CS, which is an entirely different animal.

True enough, and also, the Redsox "owned" the Angels, and the Angels sure ended that. Maybe this will be the same too.

Payroll (US$)
1. NY Yankees 208,097,414
23. Minnesota 67,634,766
Oh, that's how. Yeah, THEY MADE IT! I can NOT believe it. What a great story.
Hell, Arod alone is paid half the total of the whole Twins team. Add Jeter and Tex and you're already over the whole Twins payroll by 8 million!
Ha! Be proud!

I am proud. Want to know why?
I'm proud that I have an owner who wants to win, and spends the money it takes to put the best team on the field. That means not only getting free agents, but building a farm system.
I'm proud that my team, when it came time to build a new stadium, built a virtual mecca to baseball. Yeah, it has it's shortcomings, but what park doesn't? I'd rather have Yankee Stadium than some place like cavernous CitiField, Rogers Centre (which is falling apart) or the new Twins field which is going to suck in April and the fall when it's still freezing-ass cold in Minnesota. You would have had TWO games in sub-freezing weather last night if they were playing at Target Field yesterday.
My team uses their own money. The other teams? A lot of them pocket the revenue sharing money instead of putting it into the team. The Pirates are extremely guilty of this, and considering how the Twins' owner cheaped out on getting a retractable roof for their new stadium, I wouldn't be surprised if they pocket the money too.
I mean, do you think that the Yankees are just some evil millionaires and all the owners just barely scrape by? No. I would guarantee that there are several owners out there that are richer than the Steinbrenners.
So you want to mock me because my team spends money? Sure, go ahead. If they were the Raiders and being unwise with it, then yeah, I could see your point. But the Yankees have a true commitment to excellence, and you really can't make me feel bad about that.

Yeah, spare me this "small market team" BS. The owner of the Royals is a former CEO of Wal-Mart, who just dumped 250 million into fixing a stadium that didn't NEED 250 million dollars worth of fixing.

Incidentally, isn't merchandise revenue sharing among MLB teams evenly distributed? That even though the Yankees sell the majority of merchandise, they only see a share of it?
