PrintNew York Yankees at Minnesota Twins, Oct 11, 2009 7:07 PM EDT
The Carl Pavano saga was a gut-wrencher because I thought he was a great signing. He was just entering his prime when he signed with the Yankees, and he was going to partner with the veteran aces Mussina, Randy and Kevin Brown to lead the Yankees to the playoffs. He turned down more money from the Red Sox and the Reds because he wanted to be a Yankee.
It was a great story.
He had a shoulder injury in 2005, and while it was a blow to our season, with the emergence of Chien Ming Wang I figured 2006 would be a year of destiny.
And it was, but not the way I wanted: Pavano bruised his ass in Spring Training and then just disappeared into the land of rehab. When he was nearly ready to return he crashed his car and broke a couple ribs.
He came back to 2007 seeming ready to repair his image. He struggled through Spring Training, but as other starters came up lame, he became the Opening Day starter. Then he hit the DL with an elbow strain and went to see Dr. Andrews. What followed was either a look inside the mind of a man unwilling to be part of the clubhouse, or it was a smear campaign by the Yankees. An anonymous Yankee official leaked that Pavano's ligament wasn't torn and that he could return with just rehab. Pavano wanted surgery.
He came back from TJ in 34 meaningless innings at the end of 2008, and the audition landed him a spot in Cleveland. He was traded to the Twins, and he's led them to the playoffs.
But this game is about Andy Pettitte, too. The man there was nearly no room for following the Yankees' offseason spending spree. He signed an incentive laden deal that started at $5.5M and has ballooned to $10.5M because he stayed on the mound all season.
2009 is only the third time in his career that he has allowed fewer hits than innings pitched, and if he doesn't pull a Moose and retire on a high note, the Yankees will have a decision to make in November.
First things first, our lefty has to rein in the presumptive MVP, who is still the best hitter in the AL even when he's aching. The Twins are a great team, ranking 4th in the league in runs differential and runs scored. Andy will have to continue CC and AJ's dominance (12.2IP, 2 ER) for the Yankees to move on.
So now Pavano will face his old team, most of the whom were part of the crew that papered his locker back in 2006. These were the guys that Mussina spoke for when he said Pavano had to prove he wanted to be there. These are the guys who are going to be patient and grind Pavano down until he wishes he were back on the DL.
It's time to close the MetroDome.

Hey what the hell happened in the Red Sox-Angels game?
i had a baseball game i had too go to, so i missed it. I know the final score though.
"Hey, you F*?ked up! You trusted us!"
really!?!
hahahahahahahahaha. thats F@#$ing awsome. papelbon finally allowes a run after somehow stranding the basesloaded sooo many times. thats great.
"Hey, you F*?ked up! You trusted us!"
Billy Wagner
put 2 on in the 8th and Torii Hunter singled off Papelbon to make it 5-4. Then there was an “insurance” run to make it 6-4.
Then Papelcrap gave up 3 runs to make it 7-6.
It was glorious.
Still kinda pissed I couldn’t get it all so far with the Cow-Pies winning in OT tho….I guess a Yank sweep will have to suffice :)

Got to quibble with one thing
Pavano definitely did not “lead” the Twins to the playoffs. Mauer led them to the playoffs. Pavano had a nice little year for himself, but definitely was not “THE MAN” for this team.
He did pitch the game to force the one game playoff.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Anyone who has ATHF vol. 5?
Remember what they did with the broom and Carl?
I can’t find an image (probably thankfully…)…but that’s what needs to be done.
TONIGHT!

why no Gardner?
His speed might come in handy chasing down balls in the gap on this turf, and he might be able to slap a single on the turf. Is Melky’s slight power edge really worth sitting Gardner against a right-hander?

I’ve been saying it all the while. Gardner’s speed is a weapon, he shouldn’t be limited to pinch running.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
exactly
A-Rod’s power is a weapon – you want him to get 4-5 PAs, not save him for one potentially big AB late in the game. Let Gardner have 3-4 chances to use his speed on offense, not just one chance, even if that one chance is a big spot. (Disclaimer: not comparing A-Rod and Gardner as players. I’m not saying, I’m just saying.)

Not that I mind what our lineup's done so far
but I would love some early runs. It’d be good for my poor heart. Really.
yea seriously
I mean, the comebacks are nice. But I’d like them to get a lead and keep it for a game. Why does winning always have to involve coming from behind? It’s nice to know they can do it, but they don’t need to come back EVERY game.
Not a good inning
this was not the 10+ runs I expected. If Pavano is going to throw a fastball right down the middle on the first pitch to every batter, then they should start swinging at the first pitch.
They will.
Did he even throw a dozen pitches?
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
that's a good question
I have to believe Cuzzi isn’t involved. At least I want to believe that.

according to Gameday
Cuzzi is the 3rd base ump. I assume that means the whole crew is the same.

The Best Thing About 3 Out Of 4 Potential Sweeps
It might deter TBS from straying in the baseball business, they are terrible. Versus could do a better job.
If he bounced either of those a little higher he would a hit.

random thought about umpires
Why do they have to rotate among the crew? Why not have the crew chief always be behind home plate? It seems like there would be less fluctuation in strike zones if there were fewer guys calling the strikes, and it was always the same guys. Just a thought.

true
remember against the Tigers earlier this year? Edwin Jackson shut us down, but then they went to the pen and we had a 10 run inning. And Jose Molina (somehow) hit a grand slam.

I think once we start breaking through
Pavano will melt down.
I figure Pavano will end up with a no decision
He doesn’t end up factoring into the outcome, just like his four years in New York. You must admit, there is a certain symmetry.

too soon?

Great play by Swish
Making up for the crap play by Cano.
he would have caught that anyway
he’s amazing at those pop ups to the outfield. I was more worried about them colliding than the ball falling. We don’t need any injuries in the playoffs.
I swear
Cano makes so many plays in the outfield he wants to play out there.

Damon, could you please, swing the bat? 3 strikeouts in 3 at bats in a close postseason game is not what we expect from you. You’re not Cody Ransom. Come on!
Here's the deal
Next offensive half inning I’m starting a new game thread. This one obviously is not working right (cause we’re not scoring).

Damon's been all we could ask this year
He’s just having a bad series
by Rumplestiltskin02 on Oct 11, 2009 8:40 PM EDT up reply actions
Ok
I don’t care about 10 runs anymore. Just win this game! Don’t waste this effort by Andy, or give the Twins a chance to get back in the series. Come ON!
the Yankees must be truly amazed by Pavano’s pitches because they just stare at them as they cross the plate

I think they are just waiting for him to get injured

probably because they've never seen him pitch before
i mean, this guy is new to the league right? haven’t seen him anywhere the last 4 years
by Brian5517209 on Oct 11, 2009 8:41 PM EDT up reply actions
he has OWNED the Yanks this year...
this really is nothing new for this season.

As Much As You Guys Hate Pavano..
This is the guy we thought we were getting. Injuries happen. I also dont think Mussina helped the situation either. No I dont love him either but I dont hate him as much as guys like Wright, Brown or Randy Johnson.
I figured it out...we have to let the Twins score first
…so we can come back.
I don't even thing Sunday night football even started yet....

come on Andy
quit nibbling, you did good so far throwing strikes
by BlackandGoldSSgt on Oct 11, 2009 8:47 PM EDT reply actions
Why was that not called strike 2?

Give him the stolen base...
But where the fuck was that pitch?

Come on Andy

not good Andy
This might be the ball game here. I say “might” because, with our history against the Twins’ pen, we’re never out of it.

TOLD YOU
Thats what you get for walking people….let them hang around for a bit, walk some people…..not like we haven’t seen this before
by BlackandGoldSSgt on Oct 11, 2009 8:50 PM EDT reply actions

horrible missed strike call on 2-1 count.

true, the umps have been consistent this series..consistently bad…unless their little K zone is way off

I have no idea what you could be referring to…
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
the Mauer call in the 11th
that actually helped us
by Brian5517209 on Oct 11, 2009 8:52 PM EDT up reply actions
The strike called a ball?
Dunno about that. It still would have been 2-2, not like we lost an out.
If Twins fans can't bitch about that bad foul call
we have no right to complain about one missed strike call that didn’t walk anyone and wouldn’t have been strike 3 any
By one run.
hey Chip…
Andy hasn’t lost to the Twins since the Ice age…and you’re saying he might lose now…cuz he’s down one run?
ONE FUCKING RUN? Are you kidding me guy?
WE GOT THIS!

wow
I love how they always find the strike zone after they give up a run or 2
by BlackandGoldSSgt on Oct 11, 2009 8:52 PM EDT reply actions
are you watching this?
Andy threw 3 pitches around Cuddyer’s eyeballs.
He swung at em….I doubt he “found the strike zone”…..

nice comeback, Andy
One run is not insurmountable. Let’s freaking get to Pavano, please?
by long time listener on Oct 11, 2009 8:52 PM EDT reply actions
Alright.. its 1 run
Now let’s get some runs!!!

Alright, offense time
New thread is up.
Come on over.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
I'm sure pavano just hurt himself just now
he was sitting on the bench too long….we should be good for about 10 runs this inning!
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR, THE PITCH WAS RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE!

YES AROD

the Yankees are dead set on trying to hit those pitches that Pavano rolls to the plate
by BlackandGoldSSgt on Oct 11, 2009 9:03 PM EDT reply actions
More cheering
I don’t what this crowd is cheering over…the Twin’s offense is as impotent as an old man’s ballsack
HIP HIP
JORGE!!!!
"Hey, you F*?ked up! You trusted us!"
by GTWYankee on Oct 11, 2009 9:04 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
I called it. I promise!
Then again, I probably call a HR everytime he’s up. Oh, Clutch-Rod, how I love you.
