Coke Was the Right Move

Marte had pitched the last 2 days, and the Yankees weren't in the game when Coke came in.
I believe this to be true.
AJ was ugly, pushed by a tight strike zone. The offense was quiet, but I expect this late eruption to carry over.
Travis will have the full write up soon.

Congrats Phillies
You took 1 of 3 in your home stadium, and even in your win you lead 8-2 and struggled to hold it down. I feel good about or chances.

Talking to the Phillies,
I was saying they took 1 OUT OF 3 games in their home stadium.

I try to give you the best blogging experience we can provide.

The only thing better than winning a repeat world series
Is goign to be winning a repeat world series by beating the yankees in 3 straight
This is the best loss you could ask for
Yanks still show they’ve got fight in them, didn’t lie down when they were down by 6 runs, came all the way back and had 2 different at bats where they could have tied it. They will win this on Wednesday.

really? Tremendous?

I respectfully disagree with that
maybe because I REALLY hate Coke right now, but I still disagree. I know Marte has pitched the last two days. If it’s the regular season, I agree with you. But this is the WORLD SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You go with you’re best pitcher. Marte rested for 4 months during the season, and he’ll have 6 more when this is over, plus tomorrow. He couldn’t pitch to two batters today? I think he could have.
I don’t think the fault goes to Coke, but we’d still be playing right now if not for him. The fault? That goes to Burnett. He was awful, and thats to be kind. I hope Pettitte has better fortunes on Wednesday.
Can’t wait for Wednesday. Right now? I’m exhausted.
GO YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!! 26 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS (guess I do get to write that again for another day).
Yea...
Coke sucked.
Still, the good is he ate an inning.
Marte is fresh.
Let Coke rot.

I just hope Pettite has it in him to pitch on 3 days rest
Old timers day on Wednesday, time to celebrate in front of Pedro
It wasnt meant to be
We are still in the drivers seat, and going home. The corporate guys .. er fans at home get to cheer the Yanks on for another game. Coke, Burnett and everyone else gets a break here. We cant win every game.
If the Phollies starter
doesn’t go 9 innings…..
We got this.
DO WHAT JERRY HAIRSTON DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NYY has not been great either
or didnt u see the Fox graphic that showed a NYY bullpen of 4.73
outside of Rivera
Walk or bean Utley
problem solved.

BIG.
Outside RIvera.
The 9th is over when the Yankees have a lead.
The Phillies?
I don’t go by bullpen ERA in 5 games either. Useless stat, as evidence by Phil Hughes reverting back to form.

I am NOT dDisagreeing with you
all I said was the NYY bullpen was NOT that great
but they are GREAT at getting Tyan Howard to suck
and swing at every pitch
Don't worry, guys
You’ll get ‘em in Game 6. And you’ll get to do it in front of your own fans. See you then!
eh youll still win it anyway
game 5 was just for the phillies dignity to not allow the yankees to celebrate in their stadium…

When did Eric Karros learn baseball?
I love listening to average hitters all over the sports world analyizing everyone.
The great thing about Lidge sitting is
He will be back, in the next game even, and that lack of confidence will show.
I'm not gonna lie
I did not understand that sentence.
Why are you here again calling people clowns?

I'm fairly certain
Manuel had Lidge warming up alongside Myers at one point in that 9th inning. Perhaps you should pay attention instead of thinking of clever (not) insults.
Guillen said he had a root canal today and was numb
He’s surprisingly more understandable. We’ve found the cure!

Damn. Tex has been really unclutch at the plate as of late....
I was actually hoping he walked instead of attempting to score a runner. But regardless, real good shit from the Yankees.
Yankees all day.
Here's how Wednesday will go down
Andy will allow an early run, but by then he’ll already have a 4 (now 3) point lead. Joba strikes out 2 in a 1-2-3 7th, and Mariano finishes up the year with another 2 out save.
oh well, that was a good game at the end. i like an ending in the bronx anyways

can someone explain to me ..
How was Cliff Lee “Dominate”?? 7ip 5 runs?

yet fox said he was the player of the game
despite utley tying reggie jackson for most HR’s in a WS

yea i had yanks in 6...but man i just felt a little crushed when dj hit into that dp..
Still will take the captain up there in the spot…we win it in NY and see you in canyon of heroes
also with the yanks

I know people are killing AJ but
if we pitched Gaudin and lost, then it comes down to AJ and CC. I feel more confident with a tired Andy than with AJ or even CC for that matter. Andy has been here before, he can harness his emotions better than either of them.
Wednesday all of this is forgotten
