We just got to walk utley
he’s the only one killing us so far. As far as i’m concerned he is the phillies offense rite now
I wonder
why the Phillies fans don’t believe in Overflow threads? They have like 1500 comments a night on one thread!
As a mod
It’s tough to sit by the computer during a game.
Why their fans don’t make them the way you guys do when you need them and we’re not around… not a clue.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
LETS GET RUNS!!!!!!!!!!!
wait a minute. Is it Gardner, Molina, and A.J. coming up?
On second though, Gardner, get on and steal yourself around the bases!!!!!!
what are the chances we score this inning?
gardner, molinda, aj………..
Lets get to Lee like they got to us
Blind devotion.

unlikelier home run
Gardner or Molina?
by long time listener on Nov 2, 2009 8:30 PM EST reply actions
Molina
equally unlikely that they’ll get it over the fence, but at least if Gardner gets one in the right spot he can run around the bases.

Holy shit. GGBG would have beat that if it had gone anywhere else in the infield.

My dad treated Molina's eyes in the offseason. I got a signed ball.

Love the Kaline quote in the sig, by the way.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
I love that Mantle reached base more often than he made out in 1957.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Get on base Jose so AJ can bunt you over.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
The day Jose Molina bunts with the bases empty is the day that Joe Girardi needs A frontal lobotomy
"Son, Nobody is half as good as Mickey Mantle"
I doubt it
He was probably taking the 1st pitch, and just showed bunt to put the thought in their minds and/or distract Lee a little.

Why is Fox harping on the linuep?
Like no Melky makes them drastically different.
DO WHAT JERRY HAIRSTON DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cause we’re the Yankees. We must have a weakness somewhere. They’re on a mission to find it.

The Yankees hit for Rings and Cash

by ProfessorBigelow on Nov 2, 2009 8:35 PM EST up reply actions
that's ok
if Molina can see 7-8 pitches every at-bat, then that’s good enough.
by SBakerTheTouchdownMaker on Nov 2, 2009 8:35 PM EST reply actions
McCarver FAIL.
Few AL hitters know about how good Cliff Lee is.
When he won a CY Young in the AL.
DO WHAT JERRY HAIRSTON DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doesnt anybody at FOX realize how much of a shell of himself he has become?
Might as well let Ralph Kiner and Yogi Berra call the game.
i think he meant at breaking bats, but still a stupid comment.

When I was a kid, most catchers and SS didnt hit real good, they were there for defense
The game has really changed. Would Ozzie Smith even start in this era, probably not.
I hate the way Lee sprints back to the dugout
just walk back like EVERY OTHER PITCHER IN THE LEAGUE!!!!!!!!!!
like getting out Gardner,
Molina and AJ is a big accomplishment.
DO WHAT JERRY HAIRSTON DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on A.J.
first pitch strikes was your key to success in Game 2, and key to your failure in Game 5 of the ALCS. Lets get some STRIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2nd most AL championships? Has to be one of the old clubs.
Red Sox have 5. Detroit? Not Cleveland or Chicago.
Must be the A’s from Philly, KC, and Oakland.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
MLB.com says
Sox have 7 (1903, 1912, 1915, 1916, 1918, 2004, 2007), and the Philadelphia Athletics have 5 (1910, 1911, 1913, 1929, 1930)

by ProfessorBigelow on Nov 2, 2009 8:44 PM EST up reply actions
Philly + Oakland should have 9
A’s went back-to-back-to-back in the 70’s plus ’89.
by SBakerTheTouchdownMaker on Nov 2, 2009 8:45 PM EST up reply actions
And in the 50s they shipped another 4 championships to the Yankees in Roger Maris and Bobby Shantz.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
I’ve resisted Googling, but now I’m looking it up.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
i say A's

Agreed
The Philly connection should be the give away.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
A good trivia question. Takes some thinking but you can figure it out.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Maybe the Umps should broadcast the game, and let McCarver/Buck/Rosenthal ump the game
Neither crew knows what theyre doing in their current roles.
O.k., goddamnit Aj, a hr to cliff lee!

the best umps this season
were the ones in the stands behind home plate when the Yankees played the Blue Jays.
Ha, I remember these guys
They were awesome.

how many other times could we say that about an umpire this year?
not many.
Also reminds me of when the games were on YES, which seems SO long ago with the way these games are announced. From “FISTED”, to McCarver, I REALLY miss the guys at YES doing the games.
i think it will be misspelling inconsistent

Wow what a horrible camera angle of the hit on Victorino
Can’t see squat.
"Son, Nobody is half as good as Mickey Mantle"
AJ! You’re gonna half to put it in there.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
I don't think Victorino is going to stay in this game
by long time listener on Nov 2, 2009 8:46 PM EST reply actions
it'd be a shame
for him to watch the last game of the season from the bench.

What is he doing still in the game?
He can barely grip the ball.

A Pitcher Is Only As Good As The Ump Calling The Game
I’m surprised more isnt made of this fact. Look at Livan Hernandez, Eric Gregg made him in that NLCS.
they said Damon was one of their
national spokesmen.

Looks like the guys are getting a better bead on him tonight.

McCarver's dad fought in the South Pacific

maybe a tad harsh
Perhaps McCarver’s dad could have had a non-fatal injury that left him infertile. Anything to avoid McCarver having been born.

not enough, last start of the season
Don’t be surpised to see him go 130+

goddamit Molina
What happened to the great defensive catcher?
"Son, Nobody is half as good as Mickey Mantle"
cervelli could have thrown him out lefty
by dustyjacket13 on Nov 2, 2009 9:04 PM EST up reply actions
shit
throw it up there underhand. i’d do anything but walk Howard with the way he’s fallen off a cliff.

im not liking the vibe from aj.
lets go now

We have to get into that Phillies bullpen. That’s all there is to it.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
this game is dangerously close to getting out of hand
AJ needs to find the strike zone immediately.
by long time listener on Nov 2, 2009 9:07 PM EST reply actions
Its rather difficult to...
When the ump is consistently inconsistent
You got this AJ!!!

this shit should have happened yesterday to blanton
making lee look better than he actually has been
Yankees all day.
fuck aj!

well he gave up 4 against the Angels
and we came back to take the lead

pull him
Gaudin now. this is a throw-away game anyway.

AJ is volatile on any days rest
I doubt Pettitte will be this bad if he pitches a potential game 6
"We're only going to score 17 points?"
So...... Who thinks Girardi made the right move with the 3 man rotation...

Good, I do too
I’m just dissapointed in Mr. Hyde coming to play tonight…

by ProfessorBigelow on Nov 2, 2009 9:12 PM EST up reply actions
that was ugly
There are going to be plenty of people who want to blame Girardi, or the umpiring, but it was AJ that gave up the HR to Utley. If you take the ball, you’ve got to be ready to pitch, and AJ was not.
by long time listener on Nov 2, 2009 9:11 PM EST reply actions
Burnett
such great stuff, such fragile pysche.
by SBakerTheTouchdownMaker on Nov 2, 2009 9:11 PM EST reply actions
we might
as well start hitting guys and make this a bean brawl
first on list is utley and lee
then werth
thats why
i think gaudin is no tin the game now
we may need him for wed
a little
late for that
unless lee has a meltdown, we arent getting 4+ runs
especially wiht our end of the lineup
May I remind you
A. It is only the third inning
B. Lee has been far from perfect
C. With this lineup ‘it aint over till its over’
"Son, Nobody is half as good as Mickey Mantle"
bleh
When I look at Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of the romantics... -The Great Bill Walton
2 innings isn't good
But neither is 4 runs. Not against these Yankees. Jorge will be pinch hitting in the 4th hopefully, but he’s due up for the 5th if nobody gets a hit next inning. This game ain’t over, but all you negatives can turn it off and close your browsers.
I don't understand...
would AJ have NO CHANCE at this on full rest?
DO WHAT JERRY HAIRSTON DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he can do it
at home
where he has the crowd behind, prob gives him a little edge
the strike zone is sooo narrow
the reason i think Aj wasn’t effective today
by NYYEastcosterNJD on Nov 2, 2009 9:15 PM EST up reply actions
Cheese and rice this is AJ Burnett we’re talking about. We all knew there was a chance that bad AJ would show up. That’s the risk you take with him so quit bitching and moaning about him bombing.
Thank God for making us Yankees.

was there a reason
they didn’t walk Ruiz face Lee?
by SBakerTheTouchdownMaker on Nov 2, 2009 9:17 PM EST reply actions
I dont know who I want to hit more, the FOX guys or some of the "fans"on here
the moment the team falls behind its like a mutiny here. We are up 3-1, not down 3-1.
I really can't believe how narrow and strict the strike zone is
by NYYEastcosterNJD on Nov 2, 2009 9:19 PM EST reply actions
after this 1/2 inning..
The offense better wake up and do something..

Let’s go Houdini! Make the ump call strikes.

dammit lee!

whose calling this game??
in terms of umpiring?
When I look at Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of the romantics... -The Great Bill Walton
Jorge will hit for Molina when he comes up, yes
or he may not actually. What if he gets hurt? Then Hairston catches! I KNEW they should have kept God on the roster!!!!
thats right
How about making this game an explosion of Offensive from both sides
