2004……we had a late lead on the sox….enough said. I’m not saying its over….we still have our big guns coming up in the 9th but I’ve had my heart shattered too many times to get my hopes up. Tonight I was on an emotional high and then crash and burning the next half inning. Hope we have 1 more rally in us…

i know it sucks but they do have the second best offense in the AL and this is do or die form them i agree some move by Girardi made no sense but it is game 5 and not game 7

True

But that was his best at bat of the post season

Maybe

I’d have to watch them all over again. :-) It was his turn to come through and he didn’t. He’ll probably smack the crap out of the ball in game 6 back at the Stadium.

I can accept losing. In fact I was totally prepared for a loss. But when you come back like that in the 6th, our bullpen is supposed to hold a two run lead not cough up three the next inning.

This game was lost in the first inning.

The Yankees really need to score with men on first and second no outs, and the big bats up.

I'm not.

‘04 was totally different. Those Red Sox were very good, and we didn’t have a CC. These Angels are honestly not that great. They are good, but we are the better team, bottom line.

by YankeesRock on Oct 22, 2009 11:38 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

See I dont think 04, I think 03..

no not the ALCS, the NLCS. Cubs had Wood and Prior at home for games 6 and 7, and lost. The thing that sucks is we had exactly what we wanted a lead late in the game, and all we did was give them hope.

I really think they should consider using Robertson in the seventh or 8th. He’s been the only reliable reliever besides Mo.

Inexcusable

The Angels are a formidable foe, but there is no way the Yankee’s pitching should give back 3 runs after the offense scored six. Girardi really mismanaged the 7th and 8th innings. Horrible! Burnett and Hughes have to step up in the 7th and didn’t. I can’t believe what I witnessed in the bottom of the 7th.

Not true at all - Arod's overall post season average

was .279 before this year. Swisher’s was .208 before this year.

by cph on Oct 22, 2009 11:52 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

OK fine … how about since Game 3 of the 2004 ALCS? Barry Bonds was terrible in the postseason – until he wasn’t. Ted Williams’ career stats in October are terrible. I’m not saying that Swisher is in that class at all, I’m just saying that a limited sample size gives you bogus stats. Like what’s in Joe G’s binder.

I have no problem starting Swisher against the lefty in Game 6. If it comes to a Game 7, then I’d consider putting Gardner in. That also gives you a power bat on the bench, since Swisher does have more HR potential than GGBG.

seriously? with all the negativity and hate for our players?

they now get to play at home in front of the Yankee faithful. they have the best home record in the american league, they mostly all hit well at home, plus we get to christen the new stadium with a pennant instead of having to lug it from LA.

as a baseball fan

i was glad we got back in it, even with the tense 9th inning. that’s what the playoffs are about, fighting back and forth for control.

i’ll tell you one person who is relieved even though he got no decision: lackey. he probably would have busted some faces for blowing the game after the way he pitched tonight (especially since he’s auditioning to be an ace next year in free agency).

I trust Andy to win Game 6

Most postseason wins of all time. The guy is a true veteran and a gamer. He pitched well in Game 3 and with more pressure this time he’ll pitch even better. With Andy on the mound in NY, we should be headed to the WS.

Girardi just said that Hughes was making pitches tonight and just missed his spot against Vlad. What? Posada was calling for the pitch up and outside, in fact he was almost standing up, but Hughes threw it straight down the middle. That’s not missing your spot. That’s being an idiot

He had a low pitch count

he was right to leave him in. After he put the first guy on, he shouldve been pulled. Cant blame Girardi folks. This one is on Hughes.

by YankeesJets on Oct 22, 2009 11:57 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I respectfully disagree

Hughes did give up a run, but If Girardi went to Marte a little earlier, than Hughes comes in with only 1 on, 6-4, and everything is different

by charlievona on Oct 23, 2009 12:03 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

You probably also killed Girardi for taking Pettitte too early in the Twins series

After the first inning, AJ was taking care of business, and still had a low pitch count. Why would you remove him?

by YankeesJets on Oct 23, 2009 12:18 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

It's simple

Phil lost us this one. There’s no getting around it. He hasn’t been “himself” during this ENTIRE post-season which is making me nervous. When he comes in now, I’m actually reminded of how he was last year…

I mean, for one, the season is way too long as it is, and then they drag out the post-season even longer. I believe if Game 5 was on yesterday, we would have won because we were “in the groove”.
