With Ralph Houk being the 3rd Yankee death, the Yankees' uniforms tonight will include a patch for Bob, a patch for George, and a black armband for Ralph. That's gotta be a first.

Sailor is having a career year.

He has made me laugh a bunch of times.

[zildjian361]

Ralph Howard was the first Yankee Mgr i remember as a kid. :innocent:

[Kevin]

WTF was Jorge doing on that tag?

[Kevin]

How OLD ARE you?

[Doctor Z]

HIP HIP!

Jorge is losing his mind. Tagged his own leg for the out at home. Followed it with an RBI double.

Seriously, WTF?

Nuttiest thing i have ever seen.

[Doctor Z]

What... in holy fucking hell was Posada just thinking?

[Kevin]

Is Jorge getting Alzimers?

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?

[Doctor Z]

Maybe he couldn't handle the guilt of the phantom tag, so he had to give them the run back.

[Doctor Z]

CC strikes out 3 and gets 4 outs. Now we have to trust 1 run to our amazing middle relief.

[Doctor Z]

Today's State Farm Crazy Old Person Of The Game goes to Jorge Posada.

[Kevin]

Wow

Jorge

Wow

[Doctor Z]

Holy shit! When did Posada become Chuck Knoblauch?!

[Doctor Z]

Ticket prices on StubHub for the next two games just spiked.

yah arod, title has been had they all love you now

but fuck you lebron for going to a team to win

[Suspect Chin]

Intermediate landmarks like 600 HRs are a waste of time getting excited over. Wait until he hits 763 then go nuts.

[Tenbatsuzen]

According to Joel Sherman, Joba is no longer the 8th inning man.

What exactly fucked Joba up so badly? Not getting seasoning in the minors? Too much too soon?

to conceited. from his post game interviews, he never feels accountable from the mistakes he made. i don't think he is taking to coaching to well.

[TheGameHHH]

According to Joel Sherman, Joba is no longer the 8th inning man.

What exactly fucked Joba up so badly? Not getting seasoning in the minors? Too much too soon?

maybe its the fact that he's so much better as a reliever and he should have left starting even sooner than he did.

or maybe he just sucks, no matter where he is

[Kevin]

I thInk they fucked him around so much that it lead towards the arm issue he had, causing him to lose 7-9 mph on his volocity.

That and the lack of confidence.

They royaly fucked this kid up.

Easily. Berkman's stats look like a case-study on the decline of a power-hitter.

I didn't realize or hitting was an issue. i thought it was the relievers that come out of our bullpen and bleed runs.

[foodcourtdruide]

Your team is amazing this year, I can't imagine they gave up anything for Berkman, this was probably a strict salary dump.

[brettmojo]

It'd be hilarious if they end up dumping Joba on the Astros for this bum.

[foodcourtdruide]

It'd be hilarious if they end up dumping Joba on the Astros for this bum.

Ha, that would be terrible! Doubt it though. My guess is 2 prospects, one B-level and one F-level.

[TheGameHHH]

I didn't realize or hitting was an issue. i thought it was the relievers that come out of our bullpen and bleed runs.

I was saying the same thing tonight to two of my friends but its true they hardly gave up anything so in the end im fine with it.

As for tonight, I hate when one bad pitch turns into a loss for the Yanks. It was a tough one to lose tonight.

Yah well davis only had "one bad pitch too" and did it at a better time pitching 7 amazing innings. Getting through the yank lineup is much more impressive than getting through the Rays. Go everyone else! :clap:

more impressive, sure, but not much more. the rays are 4th in the majors in runs scored.

[Kevin]

Kerry Wood?

Bah..

Just what they needed, an older, more fragile Joba.

They sure traded for a lot of garbage this year.

Getting himself banned from baseball, throwing the Yankees into somewhat of a turmoil for a few seasons let the Jays sneak a couple in under the radar.

Wait what?

The Yankees were terrible when he got banned and had not won in 15years.

Hell, him getting booted was the best thing to ever happen to the Yankees.

It allowed Stick and Buck to keep the young guys and sign role players to go around them..

If George was there, Bernie, Jeter, Andy, Mo and others would all have been traded for bums.

Wow Brett..

I hope you were joking because that may have been the dumbest comment I have ever heard..

I don't even think BDC would have said it..

Tex just saved another Jeter errant throw there.

[spoon]

perhaps 2 for 2 now

[TheGameHHH]

perhaps 2 for 2 now

you have an interesting perspective on errant throws

[spoon]

you have an interesting perspective on errant throws

Yah balls that would have been over most first basemen's heads so they would have jumped and the runner therefore safe. Interesting = logic.

[spoon]

Al Leiter is too good for this channel.

[spoon]

talk about hanging one!

[TheGameHHH]

Yah balls that would have been over most first basemen's heads so they would have jumped and the runner therefore safe. Interesting = logic.

well, Tex is extremely tall for a first baseman. Last I checked he was taller than Tony Clark. I'm thankful we have such a massive guy over there that doesnt have to jump for anything. sweet logic.

thank god for Tex saving that errant throw by Romero

[spoon]

Since you like bad jokes, looks like we have TWO Krods in New York.

[TheGameHHH]

Jesus Hill, its not that hard to throw from second base to first. Credit Lind with a nice pick up there

[spoon]

Jesus Hill, its not that hard to throw from second base to first. Credit Lind with a nice pick up there

Makes sense stupid, bc that hit him right where Lind put the glove...a perfect throw. Jeter put both throws way above Tex's head and he's 6'3" with a gold glove with a vacuum attachment. Yet another bad joke from the front running champion!

Here come the doubles!

[spoon]

nice play by alex

[spoon]

Buck You!

:lol:

[spoon]

Lind really runs like a queer

[spoon]

WOW AROD missed fucking picture day!

What a fucking asshole he really is.

Only he would miss picture day.

[brettmojo]

They're fucking killing Arod all over the place for the slump he's been in waiting to hit his 600th homerun... But not a fucking peep about Jeter who's been basically shitty all year but lately he's been the worst hitter on this team with the exception of Cervelli.

[TheGameHHH]

watching these games blows

[brettmojo]

I can at least take solace in the fact that we addressed our biggest need at the trade deadline... Our hitting. :wallbash:

[brettmojo]

Kerry Wood looks like a cancer survivor.

This team isnt hitting a lick for like 2 weeks now.

[K.C.]

Been watching a lot of Romero starts all year because of fantasy...guy is going to be awesome. Already very good.

[spoon]

Might I suggest people pay attention to Jeter's AWESOME relay throw here to "HOME?". AHAAhahahaha, he throws like justjon and is afraid to throw it to anyone but Tex I guess.

Fucking great throw deek!

[Crippler]

Is it wrong that I chuckled to myself because he hit #600 against the ~jays~?!

[spoon]

Is it wrong that I chuckled to myself because he hit #600 against the ~jays~?!

Yes bc it took him 50 abs and three games to get a single hit. I just love the fact that the security guy was quotes as saying he's NOT going t keep the ball worth 5/6 figures bc he "loves his job" with sercuitas! Dumb mother fucker. I would have just walked right out of the stadium and got a job at Citi. I hear they pay better over there anyway. Way to save that 11 bucks an hour job buddy!

[spoon]

Worst game of the series by far!

[spoon]

That's an error, not a hit for Cano.

[TheGameHHH]

3 years to the day from #500 to #600. I was there 3 years ago and got offered a ticket today, but my dumb ass turned it down because I'm going sunday night against the Sox.

Yah, 3rd best average on the team (of starters bc I won't count Golson & Thames) is the reason this team is only if first place in the toughest division in mlb. Spoiled much?

[spoon]

Perhaps you should have signed 3 new starting pitchers, an all-star infielder and top offensive/defensive free agent and then revamped your entire bench at the deadline at the price to run some full teams in baseball to take the title. Oh wait, that was last year! My bad!

Seriously ?

When we praise a Yankee, WE ARE BDC HOMERS.

When we criticize, WE ARE SPOILED.

Its hard to take you seriously when your bitterness is this big.

Jeter has been brutal

Stats never tell the entire story on it.

So please step aside for once and be objective and reasonable, instead of this bland anti Yankee every time stance.

That's the fucking point, as just like normal yankee fans, it has to be someone's fault the amazing yankees didn't come through in spades as they always should. Whether it's Arod, Jeter or whoever the man of the hour is, annoying inconsistent fans suck no matter which way you look at it.

Oh and you can seriously go fuck yourself if you think I'll even contemplate taking you serious when you can't even man up and pay off a bet almost 2 fucking years old now. So yah, fuck yourself and pay your fucking bets. If you can't pay up, don't make the bets. It's about as old as it possibly can be. I have money on Mojo paying Snoogans before you pay up and he's in Chicago.

[brettmojo]

Yah, 3rd best average on the team (of starters bc I won't count Golson & Thames) is the reason this team is only if first place in the toughest division in mlb. Spoiled much?
4th best out of the starters actually.

i think my stats were a few days old and they had Jeter in front of Gardner still. Let's see where they both end up. Also, I truly believe everyone is all of a sudden coming down hard on Jeter mainly based on expectations. The fact is, he's at the end of his career and still playing pretty good baseball at a young man's position. I'm never one to give him the GG and buy into that hype, but he's not as bad as you guys make him.

Dude, Its getting to the point where he gets up with runners on less than two outs and I turn around to the person I'm watching the game and say DP.

75% of the time Its a dp.

Its gotten to the point where I'm happy with a K and the inning continues..

Alot of his outs are now grounder to SS.

He is either hiding an injury or he is close to the end.

I know he's heading into his twilight years but it's tough seeing the guy come up and sighing when he used to come through in these situations and it was more like ALRIGHT! Do it Jeter!

17 double plays is a lot at this point of the year for a guy who still has good speed and doesn't hit a lot of line drives. I feel like I've seen every one of them too.

[brettmojo]

This.

I've been thinking this for months. Could it be the age catching up with him? Probably, but he's hid injuries before and I wouldn't be surprised.

I was at the first and third game of the Jay's last series in NY. I those games he went 6/9 with 5 runs scored. I'd say he did his job well there.

who cares? honestly.

first of all, we all know you're exaggerating with the whole 75% of the time thing. But Jesus, you're ready to run him out of town. This is a man that's been a cornerstone of 5 WS titles and 7 WS appearances, the most recent of which was LAST YEAR. You also realize he's in a run of 50 something games without an error and leads the league in fielding percentage at, like spoon said, a young man's position. Has he slipped offensively this year? Sure. But give him a fucking break, he's Derek Jeter.

With the exception of Young, most of the guys ahead on that list are line drive hitters or slower guys. Not sure about Kuzmanoff..

I'm not running anyone out.

Just stating what I see.

And just because he did all of that, I am not allowed to say he has been playing bad?

Fuck that.

Do I respect what he has done? Sure..

But he is not above critique..

First of all, of course you are. But that's just thing, he's not playing bad. He's having a less than stellar offensive season, but he's played good defense. I mean, I'm sure somebody else will jump in this thread with Jeter's UZRKSMNSAOP with a ranking of -.064 and that will tell everybody he sucks, but he really has played well defesively this year. All I'm trying to say is there's two sides to a baseball player (aside from the shitty DH), evaluate properly.

Sure, its not the best stat. But that's part of a first baseman's job, they save bad throws from everybody.

Not many 1B do what Tex does..

He has a huge advantage.

[spoon]

When it comes to hitting into rally killing DPs..

Jeter's got an edge..

Cashman continues to prove that he is a terrible GM when he has to make actual baseball moves, and not just throw money around.

Everyone he has gotten this year has been a total, utter BUM.
08/11...when did the trade deadline pass? And I guess trading Montero and Joba + more for Dunn or Haren is what you really wanted?

Awful.

Tex def makes that play.

Lance Berkman is a fucking BUM!

Arod did alright tonight i guess..

Each of those Hrs were BOMBS.

The last 439ft.

He looks like he is gunna take off.

The trend of them being shutdown by career scrub minor league pitchers continues...

Are these bums fucking serious?

Seriously ?

When we praise a Yankee, WE ARE BDC HOMERS.

When we criticize, WE ARE SPOILED.

Its hard to take you seriously when your bitterness is this big.

Jeter has been brutal

Stats never tell the entire story on it.

So please step aside for once and be objective and reasonable, instead of this bland anti Yankee every time stance.

4th best out of the starters actually.

If this dump on cashman and his moves immediately on so little sample size and his past, complete heal turn on Jeter and now love of Arod bc he won here and started to hit some"BOMBS" again surely sums up the average yankee fan and their fickle dispositions to say the least.

Go get true yankee J Damon back and new true yankee Cliff Lee and all will be alright for the poor struggling first place yankees. Fucking JETER!

[TheGameHHH]

Not many 1B do what Tex does..

I disagree. I think Tex is most def an above average first baseman, one of the top guys at his position. But I don't see him make plays on throws that other first baseman don't make. I do see him make defensive plays on balls hit off the bat that others don't make, and that's what I think makes him so special, not his ability to scoop throws from infielders or reach higher than others on the bag.

All I was doing was reacting to big situations where he has hit into huge DPs.

Cashman really got these bums for nothing. So whatever. But Kerry Wood has actually been a good addition. So the blind squirrel did find a nut.

I still love Jeet. But you wouldn't know it from my twitter postings last night. I don't really "love" Arod but I don't have this unwieldy hate for the guy like everyone else has because he did the same shit the whole league basically did for 15 years.

Well you have Clemens and Pettitte, two of the top pitchers in the league at the time, using steroids as well.

To think only the best hitters and best pitchers were using is just narrow minded. Couple that with the fact that the only players really getting busted once the testing started were minor leaguers and career journeymen makes it even more asinine to believe the majority of players weren't using an advantage that perhaps they believed everyone else had.

[spoon]

I doubt the percentage is as high or even close to as high as Canseco stated. His goal there was to blow the lid off it all bc he was in the spotlight and knew a LOT of guys (of his ilk and moral values) that were getting away with it. He's truthful in a jealous spiteful way to say the least. So I truly believe this is one area he pumped up the numbers to in essence clear his own name and actions bc "everyone was doing it". The people Jose would hang with truly would be involved, but there are so many players that didn't live on the homerun and power game, let alone cheat to get middle of the road stats especially in that era.

who said anything about "only the best hitters and best pitcher were using"?! Are you just making shit up to post now? The other side of it are those players willing to do anything to get into the game or hold on to their low level spot in the bigs. Also, Clemens fits my power profile as well, just as the blown out closers like Gagne and others who lived on velocity/power pitching game.

[Kevin]

The thing that botherd me the most about last night was that Valverde clearly had no control whatsoever and Jeter goes and swings at ball three high and outside and continued to swing at junk.

[brettmojo]

So only the guys throwing 95 or hitting home runs? Come on. A lot of guys used them for the recovery aspect of taking steroids.

Yanks were offering Montero and this Nova kid (who can bring it 93-98)

Locking up Felix was a good deal too.

But the Marrow deal looked terrible as soon as it was announced.

[spoon]

Ah poor Kevin, did he flip the bat (and he didn't flip shit THAT TIME by the way)?! Waaaaaa! Your boy Cervelli acted like he won the world series when he tagged Lewis at the plate and tossing your bat when you hit a hr is bad?! Fuck off. You and your team's 210 million dollar payroll lost another one to the 60 million dollar Jays!

Just look at this team minus Tex, Cano, Swish with Arod on the mend and that'd be the team you'd field if you weren't able to bypass the draft and spend spend spend. OH WAIT, EVEN NUNEZ, CERVELLI, NOVA AND PENA ARE INTERNATIONAL FREE AGENTS. Yah, they build from within my fucking ass. Here's to hoping you revamp ur entire bench for the third time since last year's trade/waiver deadline. No respect.

And if by not backing down do you mean getting hit hard every fucking time Batista was up? Bc even the out was hit hard and deep to center. Robertson brought it too. I hope your pitchers keep doing it that way. Oh and was he overreacting or should he expect it? Bc I'm pretty sure if some punk kid threw over my fucking head after a hr trying to look tough and stay with a team, I'd be pretty fucking pissed too.

Finally, the Jays paid off the ump huh?! WTF were you watching? His strike zone is what made Nova not look as bad as he was and Gardner saved his fucking ass in the first. I guess the Jays included extra meals and cash to throw out our starting shortstop and manager early in the game bc he decided to follow him out to the field as if the fucking game was about him. That was complete bs, but I won't claim he's paid off when the yankees manage to win a game don't you worry you little albanian bitch.

ding ding ding

The jays have 3 of 4 starters on the year that have better eras (Cecil, Romero & Marcum...all draft picks, even though Hughes is a rare one for NYY) and morrow is gaining quick as he and Walton iron out his old issues. They did the same shit with Halladay, taking a lot off his fastball to get more movement/taking out the flat approach and working on his change. If only Morrow could add a cutter, that would be insane. The kid has battled hard this year and didn't start well at all. He continues to develop and I'm really looking forward to a Romero, Marcum, Cecil, Morrow, Drabek (Mills/Zip/Stewart and more as possible 5th if Drabek is held up longer which is possible).

[spoon]

Who besides BDC said 3 undisputed aces?

Stop exaggerating.

All three were said to have POTENTIAL to be aces..

First off, that's exactly what I said, so it's not exaggerating. Second, they were NEVER all called potential aces by anyone not wearing pinstripe glasses. Kennedy was a 3 at BEST, more like a 4/5 and both Huges and Joba were listed at 2's, 1B starter for Hughes. Joba's mental makeup keep him out of that 2 spot easy for anyone who ever listened to him talk or met his family. What you cooking MAAAA!?

My point is he just fucking made it up. First off, Murphy was a guy known for his keen eye (lots of walks) and more so his defense (6 Gold Gloves and led the league in putouts or close many years).

Nice..

keen observation then.

[spoon]

I wish Al was there to just ask him to explain any of that. Hell, Cito barely hit double digits in his career (3 times in 11 years, 29/17/16).

That Tallett is one fine pitcher.

[zildjian361]

Yanks 10-1:smoke::drunk:

That Tallett is one fine pitcher.

Yah, the Jays rolled out the finest yesterday, including Carlson back up who somehow managed to get his one out in the top of the 9th down 6! Yah, great move there Cito! Way to warm up and use a guy for one fucking out down 6! I don't fucking get it. I guess that lefty right thing just plays so strong in some it CAN'T be turned off!

[spoon]

I've been saying it for a LONG time, Mills should be getting the work as the #5 not Zip. He should get the long man job and Tallet should be working at Target in Missouri.

[spoon]

Unlike yesterday, great young pitching match up today. Both Hughes and Cecil come in with 3.90 era.

Nice trip by Wells to take the lead. I think Cecil really looks like he picks up his game against better teams which is a good sign. Still, he's real young and can loose concentration at times.

Wells scores on a past ball. Nice work Posada. Mixed up or not, Jorge should have caught that.

Jorge has been a terrible catcher for years now.

defensively sure, not offensively

Yea, thats what i meant.

And how the fuck did Wells get to that, it was at the radio booth upstairs!

[spoon]

Thames seems to be using the Batista approach at the plate of late...and it's working.

[spoon]

Can the yank crews on the air (tv and radio) STOP acting like the offense yesterday is the norm and had NOTHING to do with the pitchers! They keep talking as if they did it against even remotely good pitchers. The bulk shouldn't even be in the majors.

Nice drop Tex. Odd to see him get to one and miss it. Ends up being a walk now so let's all hope it ends up hurting the yanks.

I was at that first game for Hughes in 07. AJ took it by the way. He was better as Halladay's BITCH!

[spoon]

Swing harder with two strikes EE! WTF are you thinking?!

I'm ok going at ur pitch until you have 2 strikes on you, after that not shortening your swing and making contact is just pure stupid unless the situation dictates something different (not often). I just don't get Cito and this team's approach being so one sided.

Here we go again with Lewis I'm sure.

[spoon]

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

damn

[spoon]

Nice hustle Batista!

WOW! so close

[TheGameHHH]

he was safe

[spoon]

Meals call could have gone either way to be honest. Looked like a tie from most angles, but you have to love the hustle there on the play by Batista either way.

These pitches are going to seem like beach balls at geriatric speeds after Hughes.

[Kevin]

Can't really gripe..

It could have gone either way.

[spoon]

just like when you ran that albanian bath house

The German ones are much more lucrative.

Those fucking Germans had so much more money to spend.

THEY HAD AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE!!

Assholes.

Singleton with yet another GREAT point..."Batista could never be an MVP candidate bc he only get rbis via the homerun. HA! First off, it's not true. Secondly, he's leading the league in outfield assists (or at least was bc Choo may be slightly ahead since they aren't running on Jose much now) and is pretty quick out there. He's no Gold Glover bc he doesn't read the ball all too well and takes some odd routes to balls at times, but he's above average. Not to mention has played a very good third base as well as all outfield spots and a touch at first base. He also DH's when needed as well.

He brings hustle every day and is very patient as well with a ton of BB's for a power hitter. In fact, he comes into today tied for second in BB's with Miguel Cabrera at 76. Batista only has 2 intentional versus 25 for Cabrera.

In no way am I saying he's a top MVP candidate, but Singleton is an ass again.

You cant have grip it and rip it hitters as MVPs.. Cito and Murphy never won one!

[spoon]

that's his approach WHEN he swings...

[spoon]

How the fuck do you walk back to back hitters with 2 outs in the 9th up 4? Only the Jay's pen, that's who. I'd rather Frasor go at people and make them beat you, no fucking free passes. WTF!? I don't mind him using our middle of the road guys in a 4 run lead late, but the walks are a joke. Especially since Gregg usually let's his first guy on. He'll K the next two, one in this case.

[spoon]

or not

great ab by jeter

come on Gregg!

get this guy out!
