PrintLos Angeles Angels at New York Yankees, Oct 25, 2009 8:20 PM EDT
I feel for Ed and all the other Giants fans out there forced to choose. The NFL already shuffled its schedules in a blatant ratings grab, putting the Jets and Giants against each other again so that it could show Brett Farve vs the Packers in a prime time spot.
Bud Selig and MLB are just reminding the die hards like us that we're really not important. If an extra half a million casual fans tune in for a few innings, it's more important than the actual quality of the game.
So we play tonight- Joe Saunders against Andy Pettitte.
Most of Yankee Universe feels good about the matchup, and with good reason. Arod (.500/.533/1.071), Posada (.500/.600/.500) and Jeter (.467/.500/.733) have had consistent success against Saunders. If those 3 are on tonight, only a little help from the rest of team will be necessary (which is good because Swisher .238/.360/.381 and Damon.286/.375/.357 are the only ones whose numbers are vaguely respectable.
On the other side of the coin, all of the Angels have solid numbers against Pettitte, although he has held Yankee-killer Howie Kendrick to a .250 OBP. I'll especially hold my breath when Vlad is up to bat (.391/.417/.522).
If the Yankees can get into the Angels' bullpen early, it will be a good night for the Bombers.

Picture in Picture
My wife would kill me if I started moving TVs around. Best I can do is use the PIP, and probably DVR the football game. I have to write about that Monday morning at Big Blue View, so not much choice. But, I will be a wreck all night.
well swish is back witht the swish hawk...
Sounds like that go ahead run he let go up in flames last game got to him and he’s changin some stuff up….hopefully it works…really want swish to start hitting….
Andy has this….I have full faith in the yanks tonight…..Go YANKS

I like the mood around here :)
Quietly optimistic. Reading the news, you’d think we’re down 3-1 and are starting Marte in this game – or something.
Lets go Yankees!

I hope Andy shuts everyone up – and down – tonight.

The shuffle wasn't a blatant ratings grab
It was the NFL trying to ease the burden on Philly police. They can only handle 1 sport riot per night.
I think Swish is going to break through tonight
I have nothing to base that on, and it should probably ready “I HOPE.” But I really think Swish is going to bang out a couple of hits tonight.
by long time listener on Oct 25, 2009 7:22 PM EDT reply actions
Amen
He’s cutting the “getting hot at the right time” thing awfully close, but here’s hoping he makes it. He’s been such a big part of our season, lets hope he’s a part of our win tonight too :)
by pkyankeefan on Oct 25, 2009 7:25 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
I think Swish is one of Cashman’s best moves in a long time – it isn’t every day you get an everyday rightfielder with an OPS+ of 126 in exchange for Wilson Betemit. But the move would look a LOT better if, you know, he gets a couple of hits in post-season.

its been 6 years since weve been to the WS and 9 since weve won. lets get there tonite.
i feel great about our chances at home tonite in the bronx at the loudest park in baseball (we dont need thunder sticks to create a homefield advantage). i feel great today. GO YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRING THE WORLD SERIES BACK HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll take the under
A-Rod won’t walk unintentionally, and there are too many situations where walking him won’t matter/won’t be possible.
I think he’ll go 1-2 with 2 BB, and hopefully a HR.
by PortlandYankee on Oct 25, 2009 7:55 PM EDT up reply actions
I say a rather modest
1-3, with a BB. But that one hit is going to an important one.
So anybody got some more Yankees trivia?

ummmmmm... how many world series have the yankees won?

I want to say
more than any two other teams combined.
All of them?
Hehe, ok, ok, maybe some other teams won a couple too.
So, uhhh, here’s one – who was the last Yankee outfield player to win the MVP? (I have no clue about the answer)
by pkyankeefan on Oct 25, 2009 8:02 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
I'll bet it's Mantle
Neither Reggie nor Winfield ever won an MVP with the Yanks.
by long time listener on Oct 25, 2009 8:04 PM EDT up reply actions
Easy one:
what are the two lowest numbers not retired by the Yankees?
You're correct.
Isn’t that Torre’s number?
by PortlandYankee on Oct 25, 2009 8:10 PM EDT up reply actions
Yes.
At least it was when he was here
by Rumplestiltskin02 on Oct 25, 2009 8:12 PM EDT up reply actions
In other words, retire that shit.
As soon as Torre retires from LA.
by PortlandYankee on Oct 25, 2009 8:14 PM EDT up reply actions
here's one
What three members of the 2004 Yankees are among the top 10 in Career OPS+ for the Yankees (min. 1500 plate appearances with the Yanks)?
by long time listener on Oct 25, 2009 8:02 PM EDT up reply actions
I would assume ARod is one of them
If had had to guess, maybe the others are…Sheff and Giambi? I’d say Jeter but I don’t think he has a high enough slugging %.
you are correct sir
A-Rod is currently 5th. Giambi and Sheff are 7th and 8th, respectively.

It's gonna take a long time to erase those last two black marks.
by PortlandYankee on Oct 25, 2009 8:07 PM EDT up reply actions
1500 seems like too few PAs
But that’s what Baseball Reference uses. Most of the other guys on the list are superstars who spent most of their careers with the team, so I choose to use 4000 PAs (which drops Reggie off the list, and A-Rod, at least until early next year).
by long time listener on Oct 25, 2009 8:12 PM EDT up reply actions
Okay, how about this:
who was the first Yankee to win MVP?
And i just had the best damn chicken club sandwich i ever had in my life..

Starting CC today? and kill the future plans? And throwing out mindless stats. Ugh go kill urselves Fox pregame
Did that guy on FOX just say that Joe Saunders is one of the best left handers in the Game?
Is he drunk?
I can't even watch them yapping
I flipped on to NBC to watch the pre-game Giants yapping. I’ll probably be sick of that in about 30 second. God, I can’t wait for this game to start.

Joe Saunders is a MUCH better pitcher than we think
33 wins in the last 2 years. He’s just the most under the radar of the 4.

I'm not saying thats not true
but he said “one of the best left handers in the game”.
No doubt he’s good, but one of the best in the game? I’ll take Andy over him any day of the week, and he’s never considered “one of the best in the game”.

random, meaningless good omen dept.
The last time a Yanks ALCS clincher was on against a Giants night game, both teams won (1999). The last time a meaningful Yankee game was on against a Giant game at all, both teams won (Yanks v. Bos., Giants v. KC). I realize this means nothing, but it’s keeping me calm. For now.

Because it's true
Jeter is a great postseason hitter but I bet the Babe would have more hits if he had three rounds
He's right though
Jeter’s not a home run hitter. If other players had more playoff games, they would have more HR than him.

He's going to give up runs eventually, fellas
You can’t let 2+ baserunners an inning against the Yanks and get away with it all night.
The Yankees are having one of the worst playoffs with RISP ever!

Why are you here?
Does typing out your negativity help you in some way?
anyone getting the feeling that he isn't a real Yankees fan?
maybe he’s a Blow Sux fan or Angels fan posing as a Yankees fan. I don’t know ANY Yankees fans who bash them this much.

Hey...Yankees can't score until the opposition scores
Don’t know why, but it seems like it’s true.
If we don't score more than 1 run
We don’t deserve to win anyway
I was justifying
not panicking. We will probably score 2 or more runs so this run doesn’t mean a lot.
I'm thinking 3 solo shots will do here

3-4-5 hitters coming up
we need to get some scoring going, can’t leave it up to late inning heroics
TOUCHDOWN GIANTS!!!!!!
sorry, just had to get that out there. At least one of my teams is playing well right now.
It must be against the rules
to get the leadoff man on
I don't think ARod will see much to hit
They are officially afraid of him.
Hoooray!

That’s alright its one run.. let’s keep rolling Andy
by Yankz09 on Oct 25, 2009 9:26 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
Gonna have to disagree on that one
I don’t see management keeping Matsui as a DH with Posada getting up there in years, and with Matsui’s inability to run/play the field/do anything other than swing the bat really really hard

can you blame us?
one more loss and they’re facing elimination. I’d rather not go there, and just end it tonight. Can’t end it if you can’t hit and you’re losing.
saunders really dosent have that good of stuff
i calling next inning we will get atleast 1
VA Yankee since 93'
This is sad.
The best way to beat Yankees is to load the bases with NO out.
Then our bats automatically silence themselves.
You know, this game
Reminds me of the games of the Twins series. They kept jumping out early but only with a small lead, and then we’d rock em.
that looked like a strike on Gameday
So quitcherbitchin’ Vlad.
by long time listener on Oct 25, 2009 9:30 PM EDT reply actions
they called that pitch a strike to Jeter
at least we got some justice
by Brian5517209 on Oct 25, 2009 9:31 PM EDT up reply actions
they should throw these guys who argue balls and strikes out of the game more
I thought that it was illegal to argue that?
not in the playoffs
people would be up in arms if someone as important as Vlad got thrown out for a couple words

Didn't I tell you guys
We’d be chasing Saunders? He’d been getting hit all night, it was only a matter of time.

I respect the whole lot of them. But I’m glad we get CC in game one, and that we get home field advantage. CC in Game 4 is also good, because doughnut boy can hit!
Sweeet! AL Championship Number 1 in the new Stadium!
Just the first of many! And now it’s time to win the Series!
Post Season Record
Fellas, don’t mean to be a downer during this great-great time, but does anyone else but me get annoyed when you hear about the “All Time Post Season Record Holder” for any record. How can anyone take that series when you pitchers/batters now have played at least triple the games of mantle/ford respectively
