2009 World Series: New York Yankees d. Philadelphia Phillies discussion thread

[led37zep]

You know what song REALLY makes me think baseball? Radar Love by Golden Earring.

Oh wait...it was just used by Fox during a Montage.

[Kevin]

Wow, Lee has nothing tonight.

[Misteriosa]

:dry: ...

[brettmojo]

Wow, Lee has nothing tonight.
He has a lead.

That's more than AJ can say.

Let the second guessing commence.

[underdog]

Jeter has some amazing range. He's not overrated at all.

[Kevin]

He has a lead.

That's more than AJ can say.

Let the second guessing commence.

I hated this move as soon as we went up 3-1

No fucking need to compramise this rotation by starting AJ three days than Andy.

[brettmojo]

I see Ron's sister picking up right where she left off.

[brettmojo]

He didn't just take a hit away... He LITERALLY took a hit away...

Shut the fuck up Buck. McCarver's hokey retardation is contagious.

[IamFogHat]

Anyone else, and this has nothing to do with him being a Yankee, think that AJ Burnett looks like he'd be a real asshole in real life?

[Kevin]

Anyone else, and this has nothing to do with him being a Yankee, think that AJ Burnett looks like he'd be a real asshole in real life?

He looks like Bevis.

[K.C.]

Three won't hold up tonight. Need more runs.

[Kevin]

Lee is already at 50 pitches.

[underdog]

Anyone else, and this has nothing to do with him being a Yankee, think that AJ Burnett looks like he'd be a real asshole in real life?

Most professional athletes look like they'd be complete spoons in real life.

[IamFogHat]

Are they chanting 'let's go faggot'?
Fez would love that.

[IamFogHat]

Another full count for this motherfucker.

[K.C.]

Lee is already at 50 pitches.

He'll throw 140 tonight if he's getting people out.

This is his last start of the year.

[IamFogHat]

Let's go Phillies, let's go!

[IamFogHat]

Too bad for AJ poopy shitz.

[Kevin]

Girardi is a fucking idiot.

No fucking need at all to have him go on 3 days.

He is unpredictable in 4 days rest let alone 3.

[smiler grogan]

Does anyone know the story behind those blue and white rope necklaces some of the Yankee pitchers are wearing?

[IamFogHat]

Girardi is a fucking idiot.

No fucking need at all to have him go on 3 days.

He is unpredictable in 4 days rest let alone 3.

Shhh. Do you want to be Yankee excommunicated like Dave??

[Kevin]

Shhh. Do you want to be Yankee excommunicated like Dave??

Fuck that bullshit.

This move is an alltime terrible move.

Even for Girardi.

[K.C.]

Fuck that bullshit.

This move is an alltime terrible move.

Even for Girardi.

Well, he's made the move for the next three starts (if necessary)

Pettitte on three, and then Sabathia on three.

Obviously C.C. can pitch competently on short rest. What's Andy's numbers on short rest?

[Kevin]

Well, he's made the move for the next three starts (if necessary)

Pettitte on three, and then Sabathia on three.

Obviously C.C. can pitch competently on short rest. What's Andy's numbers on short rest?

Not good.

And thats when he was younger.

(4-6, 4.15 ERA, 1.43 WHIP in 14 career starts on 3-day rest

[Ritalin]

Does anyone know the story behind those blue and white rope necklaces some of the Yankee pitchers are wearing?

yeah, they're some kind of magnetic thing that supposedly helps
with energy and recovery. All bullshit.

[K.C.]

Posada's got to lead off this inning, now that A.J. is out, right?

[Kevin]

Posada's got to lead off this inning, now that A.J. is out, right?

I would think..

Thats another thing..

Lee was o the ropes in the 1st.

If Posada was hitting he coulda had a big hit.

Instead that BUM Cano was there to make an auto out.

I don't think Cano is even trying.

[K.C.]

Oh fuck, Joe Buck just threw out the classic announcer jinx with that five run stat on Cliff Lee.

[brettmojo]

Too bad for AJ poopy shitz.
A booooooo...

[K.C.]

Posada is almost as big a faggot as Russell Martin with all the constant bitching he does at the plate.

Almost

[Kevin]

Posada is almost as big a faggot as Russell Martin with all the constant bitching he does at the plate.

Almost

This ump has been pure garbage the whole night.

[K.C.]

This ump has been pure garbage the whole night.

Agreed....the strike zone has been the size of a thimble, but Lee was clearly in his delivery when he tried to call time.

[sailor]

Posada is almost as big a faggot as Russell Martin with all the constant bitching he does at the plate.

Almost

complaining about umps makes you a pussy? interesting.

[K.C.]

complaining about umps makes you a pussy? interesting.

No, complaining about umps every at bat you catch and every at bat you appear at the plate makes you a pussy.

[GregoryJoseph]

Come on, boys! We need insurance runs!

[sailor]

is utley a free agent this year?

[GregoryJoseph]

[NickyL0885]

If the Yanks were to win in 6 or 7, I dont see how you cant give Utley the MVP anyways. Its not unheard of.

[K.C.]

Ask and ye shall receive...

Thanks Chase!

Can never have enough!

[GregoryJoseph]

Woooooooo!!!!

[K.C.]

Rauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuulllllllllllll!! !!!


The bats are waking up! The bats are waking up!

[Kevin]

I hope you guys bring in lidge again in the 9th.

[K.C.]

I hope you guys bring in lidge again in the 9th.

Doubt it. Probably Eyre to start, then Madson for Jeter.

If they blow the save, pulling Victorino is going to look awful. If they lift Ibanez instead for Francisco (which they've done all year), all of those runs could have been wiped out last inning.

[sailor]

I hope you guys bring in lidge again in the 9th.

I was just gonna say I was excited about him coming in.

[TheGameHHH]

Agreed....the strike zone has been the size of a thimble, but Lee was clearly in his delivery when he tried to call time.

he doesnt even neccessarily have to be in the delivery. if you call time, you are not automatically granted it. its the umpire discretion, he does not have to grant time. if you dont hear him yell time, dont step out of the plate. its that simple.

[brettmojo]

Wow. Posada didn't get thrown out at 2nd. Stop the presses.

[Kevin]

Woooooooo!!!!

You are such a fake.

You were no where to be seen these last two games.

I hope we win this because of you.

[Kevin]

What an asshole

[JPMNICK]

Tex looked so nervous before he came up, and was swinging at shit the entire at bat. I was not shocked he struck out at all.

This gives them a chance to win it at home, which will be even better.

[Kevin]

Lesson learned here..

No lead is really safe with the Philly BP..

Jeter wrecked this whole comeback.

He takes a 2-0 pitch dead center then swings at a ball that jams him.

[brettmojo]

That was a Madson special....many a time that ball has gone in the seats.


Lidge and Madson look bad. The rest of the bullpen has actually looked ok.

not bringing lidge in, does this mean they've given up on him as closer?

[K.C.]

not bringing lidge in, does this mean they've given up on him as closer?

No, they'll go situationally with it.

They did this for a while last time Lidge blew up...it'll be a mix of Eyre, Madson, and Lidge.

[Kevin]

No, they'll go situationally with it.

They did this for a while last time Lidge blew up...it'll be a mix of Eyre, Madson, and Lidge.

If Lidge see's any time during any of these games i will be utterly flabbergatsed.

[sailor]

i would think not bringing him in tonight (up two with runner on) would destroy any confidence he had left.

[K.C.]

If Lidge see's any time during any of these games i will be utterly flabbergatsed.

Well, chances are you'll see him at some point.

[NickyL0885]

Well, chances are you'll see him at some point.

Cleaning out his locker maybe.

[K.C.]

Cleaning out his locker maybe.

As long as he's struggling to lift his bag because of the weight of two rings.

[KingGeno]

As much as I wanted to kill something last night, after settling down I see that this World Series has been pretty awesome so far. Well, if the Phils weren't still in it I would still want to kill someone. For a little while.

[TheMojoPin]

Man, I said it: pitching AJ would be a bad move. Why force the short rest move if you're fucking up 3-1?!? Unless it's your ace and he looks good to go just throw out who you have and hope your stacked lineup scores enough runs. If not, oh well, you go back home still up 3-2 and your #2 and #3 guys will both be going on full rest. Now you need a 37-year-old to go the distance in the cold on short rest. That's not the recipe for success. CAPITALIZE, PHILLIES. Pedro, here's your shot to go out a god.

That said, tonight's game from both teams showed how managers can seriously fuck up their team's chances to win.

[TripleSkeet]

Why should they? Their team got the job done. Talking shit is part of being a fan. Granted that some go too far, but when your team does well you talk shit.

Im sure Philly fans in game one were doing the same.

It was just a little jab at Snoogans. Its been said, the Yanks fans have been alot better then some of the Mets trash that come down here every summer.

Good game. These fuckers give me high blood pressure even when they win.

This is Pedros chance. Hopefully this time well jump on the shnoz and not let up.

1 game at a time...1 game at a time...1 game at a time...

If that happened in Boston, I would have driven up there and burned the store down for pulling such a horrible jinx.

[Section 8]

Now you need a 37-year-old to go the distance in the cold on short rest. That's not the recipe for success.

I believe that I saw on ESPN this morning (or last night) that Pettite during his career did not do well (4-6 record and 4.15 ERA in 14 starts during the regular season) on short rest.

In the Postseason, however, out of 5 starts on short rest, he is 3-1 with a 2.80 ERA.

It's risky to base such deicisons on such a tiny sample size. Girardi simply did not make the decision that was best for his team.

Yea I heard that on WIP.

Thats fucking hilarious.

[K.C.]

I'm stressing big time about whether to try and buy tickets for Game 7 just in case.

On one hand, if StubHub is refundable if it doesn't get played, and if I wait until after Game 6, the tickets will all double in price.

On the other hand...five hundy for a baseball game is pretty steep, and with a three hour drive attached to boot...tough call.

Do it. Do you know how many people around the country will never have the chance to see their team in a WS game seven, let alone the Series at all?

I paid more than that just to see the Cubs at Wrigley in the NLDS last year, because I thought it might be a long time until the opportunity came back around or it might be the last postseason series at Wrigley (as we know it) ever.

While Pettite's numbers seemed bad on 3 days rest, Burnetts were good :

...The numbers said Burnett could handle it (he was 3-0 with a 1.64 ERA on short rest)...

I'm pretty sure the 3 days rest things does have an impact but who knows to what extent.

[Kevin]

Andys postseason 3 days rest stats have been pretty good. But the last time he has done it was 7years ago when he was much younger.

[JimBeam]

Yeah I had heard it was something like 184 starts or so since it last happened.

I'm not sure pitching on 3 days rest makes a pitcher ineffective but it almost certainly impacts their stamina and velocity.

Didn't they say Sabathia's fastball was off something like 4 MPH on 3 days rest ?

[TripleSkeet]

I think if anything it fucks up their routine. Alot of pitchers have very regimented routines on their off days and going on 3 days can fuck that up.

[K.C.]

Howard's the key to tonight...another 0-fer and the Phillies are in trouble.

He has to hit a bomb...they'll walk Utley all game.

Pettitte's as good a shot as he'll get...not overpowering, on short rest, he'll nibble on the outside with Howard, and Howard has excellent opposite field power...

[Marc with a c]

people shouldn't be sleeping on pedro.

[K.C.]

people shouldn't be sleeping on pedro.

Yeah, it's weird...I've heard so many people say today that Pedro will get hammered with no real explanation other than 'he's just not the old Pedro'

Ok, he's not, but he's still one of the smartest pitchers in baseball.

I expect both guys to pitch relatively well.

[GregoryJoseph]

Dear God, Allah, Buddha, Jesus, L. Ron Hubbard, et al,

PLEASE don't let the Yankees win another World Series.

Their fans are insufferable pricks.

Thank you.

Just in case the Greater Power has been busy and forgot my plea.

im not sleeping on him, im scared of him tonight based on how good he looked in game 2. he wants this game and he'll do everything in his power to get it. with that said, fuck the phillies. im ready for tonight

p.s. cory lidle jokes are funny

[Kevin]

What an awful rendition on the anthem that was.

[Suspect Chin]

My beautiful plasma tv just shit the bed. Now I'm scrambling to find a bar where I can watch the game in peace. Worst timing ever.

I should go to Mcdonalds with a buck and ask for something from their dollar menu, then when i cant get because its like a buck 7, sue them for false advertising.

[Stuft]

Oh goodie, Joba is warming up! :dry:

[KnoxHarrington]

Where is Gregory Joseph?

Looking for a Yankees hat

[K.C.]

Francisco, Ruiz, Rollins in the 7th...they'll probably stick with Joba for the first two. If anyone gets on, I imagine Marte faces the top of the lineup.

Phils need to hold a couple innings to have a shot here. Someone needs a scoreless inning here.

[Kevin]

JRoll

This is how he Rolls

[NickyL0885]

[sailor]

the chris stanley sign on the left-field wall was a nice touch.

As Lee Corso would say, "Not so fast my friend!". One postseason does not erase other postseasons of un-clutchness and suckness.

Yep.

[NickyL0885]

So, if he wins a ring tonight but makes the playoffs the rest of his career and doesnt hit, hes still clutch b/c he did it one post season?

[RingWraith]

Fucking assholes.

MUST........ SHOW............ COMMERCIALS!!!

[Tenbatsuzen]

So, if he wins a ring tonight but makes the playoffs the rest of his career and doesnt hit, hes still clutch b/c he did it one post season?

Yes. Because he has a ring. Players on a team who haven't won a ring are held to a higher standard than those who have.

The Core Four are basically untouchable. Jeter could rape Suzyn Waldman in the infield while Ryan Howard steals three bases and Francesa would complain about Jeter cumming on her face too soon.

[Kevin]

So, if he wins a ring tonight but makes the playoffs the rest of his career and doesnt hit, hes still clutch b/c he did it one post season?

Absaloutly.

He carried this team the first two rounds and had big hits this WS, one of them that gave them game 4 and made sure we clinch this in 6 instead of a crapshoot game 7.

Who ever does not think that is a moron.

[Tenbatsuzen]

So, if he wins a ring tonight but makes the playoffs the rest of his career and doesnt hit, hes still clutch b/c he did it one post season?

Not to mention the fact that you had to mention LEE FUCKING CORSO, who has been the bane of my college football existence for 15 years now.

[Kevin]

I can deal with most of them. My ESPN shit list is basically Morgan, Corso, Berman.

[Kevin]

It would be fucking sweet if Rollins makes the final out here.

[Tenbatsuzen]

So, if he wins a ring tonight but makes the playoffs the rest of his career and doesnt hit, hes still clutch b/c he did it one post season?

I also want to point out that you are mixing your metaphors.

You said that one postseason does not erase the past. You then switched up and started talking about the future. There's a difference.

Peyton Manning was also considered unclutch in the playoffs until he won a ring and you never heard a fucking peep again.

Lets do it again next year.

Id love to. Good series.

Man, Mojo was right. It was dumb to start Pettitte on 3 days rest

[TripleSkeet]

Man, Mojo was right. It was dumb to start Pettitte on 3 days rest

He didnt have good stuff. If the Phillies had actually been patient and didnt swing at slop Im not sure how long he wouldve lasted. They swung at so many balls.

Stupid mistakes. Francisco swinging at a 3-0 pitch to groundout just made me want to vomit.

Kind of funny how on three days rest he bested Pedro who had five.

Is Charlie Manual crying???

no yea, youre right. it was a dumb decision. should have cost them the game. the phillies really were the better team they just swung at stupid pitches. knock it off. swing at slop my balls. it was a fucking baseball game, that happens in every game every day during every season. he pitched a baseball game. just cause your guys got their tits ripped doesnt mean you have to try and find excuses

[brettmojo]

Can we hear from Jimmy Rollins please?

[TheGameHHH]

Phillies in 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Way to show up Jimmy Rollins

Is Charlie Manual crying???

There's no crying in baseball!

Oh is that what I said? The Phillies were the better team? They shouldve won?
Pedro pitched great? I didnt say any of that.

Youre right. For a few minutes I forgot it was Andy Petitte was out there and thought Don Larsen was back pitching another perfect game.

Stop. He pitched ok, but his stuff was way off. He couldnt find the fucking strike zone. The Yankees hitters were on tonight. And I could count a ton of shit the Phillies did wrong.

Not just Francisco, but Rollins swinging at the first 2 pitches (both wouldve been balls) right after Petitte walked Ruiz. Victorino jumping out of the way of a pitch that wouldve hit him and put 2 on base for Utley not once but 3 times in the 9th. They made tons of mistakes, but the Yankees were the better team.

Just dont act like Girardi was some genius by starting Petitte because he pitched like Bob Gibson. He didnt. Anyone that knows baseball saw that tonight.

He's not. But he's smart for starting a big game pitcher in a big game. I think that key Phillies players weren't there at all.

Rollins? If you're going to talk back it up.

Howard? He was pretty awful. (he finally homered tonight, but it was too little too late)

I agree. He was criticized for not trusting his 4th starter and going with 3 days rest for all his starters. Yea hindsights 20-20 but if Petitte lost tonight and CC lost Game 7, the entire city of NY (including thegamehhh) wouldve been calling out Girardi for being so dumb.

There was legit excuses for questioning the move, whether it worked or not.

no seriously, i wouldnt have. im sure A TON of people would have, the media would have had a field day. but i didnt criticize him with going with Burnett and i didnt criticize Pettitte and i wouldnt have talked smack on CC in game 7 either. I think it was their best shot at winning and it just proved to be.

I agree that there were concerns. When I first heard they'd be rolling with three, it worried me. Not for the Twins series. But later in the playoffs. At the same time, I think the only one who concerned me was Burnett. I thought CC could handle it and I knew that Pettite could. Or, at least that Pettite could give a few solid innings.

[RingWraith]

Friday

Thanks dude!!! This has been a great season.

Girardi manages the Yankees to the world series title and still had time for this. Kudos Joe

I can't believe there are still people calling in to Francesa and bitching about moves Girardi made in this series.

They won. Holy shit. I didn't like a lot of shit he did, but they won. Enough already.

Terrible managers can end up with a ring. I'm sure you're very familiar with this fella:

Even the Yankees can't bad manager-proof their team every year.

are they the same fans that left the stadium half empty when the team was still on the field getting interviewed and celebrating? because that was terrible...and madening!

It's like they don't remember how bad Torre was. At least Girardi was changing along with how the bullpen was pitching. Torre never would have stopped running Hughes and Coke out there.

I thought Girardi did a really good job outside of a couple games in the Angels series.

i agree. its also pretty obvious that every manager has mis-steps throughout the season and Girardi certainly wasn't without his. but i thought he did a great job suring the regular season as well. if he didnt tone down CC and the rest of the staff in very early september they might not have been able to do what they did in the postseason with only 3 starters.

3 more months until Spring training! :thumbup:

5 more months until the baseball season starts again. :sad:
