Yanks at Angels: Rebound

New York Yankees at Los Angeles Angels, Jul 11, 2009 4:10 PM EDT


Momentum is only as good as the next day's starting pitcher, right?

Andy Pettitte faces an Angels team (.282/.346/.435) that resembles the Blue Jays (.272/.339/.434) team that smacked him around for six earned in his last outing.

You know you're in trouble when you find yourself wishing that Vlad Guerrero's .290/.319/.416 were in the lineup.

Meanwhile, All-Star snub (Tim Wakefield, really?) Jered Weaver has been impressive.  He's already thrown 114 innings to a 1.13 WHIP, while holding opponents to a .282 OBP.  Seriously, the league hits like Francisco Cervelli against this guy.

Hopefully, Jered will remember that he's a Weaver, and revert to his career form against the Yanks- 1.46, 28IP in 5 starts, 12 BB, and 9HR, a .565 slugging.

Go yanks

Score first and often!

If I's known I was going to live so long, I'd have taken better care of myself. Casey

I like this lineup

by Yankz09 on Jul 11, 2009 4:14 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

An ABOMB for AROD!!!

by Yankz09 on Jul 11, 2009 4:16 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

YES!!!!!

Cody Ransom is NOT in the lineup!!!! Go back to SWB!!!!

by pedro316 on Jul 11, 2009 4:18 PM EDT reply actions  

Why?

Do our pitchers walk so many batters??? Its like a problems with everyone not name Mariano Rivera….

by pedro316 on Jul 11, 2009 4:23 PM EDT reply actions  

Another instance

where instant replay would be useful. That 20th century seems to be calling.

already a blown call, really?

by blevs4 on Jul 11, 2009 4:28 PM EDT reply actions  

Out by half a step. The inning should be over. Andy shouldn’t have to throw his next pitch.

Was it legal for Tex to reach in like that?

If its not I guess having him safe is better than him on second.

by FreeBradshaw on Jul 11, 2009 4:30 PM EDT reply actions  

It’s a tricky rule. Tex has to get the ball- I think Figgins should have slid, like on a double play.

by jscape2000 on Jul 11, 2009 4:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

yea no doubt,

I doubt fault Figgins at all tho, its all the 1st base coach on that.

I don’t like the judgment call, but it did look like Tex was blocking him with his arm.

by FreeBradshaw on Jul 11, 2009 4:40 PM EDT up reply actions  

Why doesn’t this guy play more?!!?

by Yankz09 on Jul 11, 2009 4:38 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

yerp.

Andy still knows what he’s doing.

by FreeBradshaw on Jul 11, 2009 4:46 PM EDT reply actions  

Wow deja vu

by Yankz09 on Jul 11, 2009 5:49 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

One-trick pony

Same joke every day. Oh sorry, two trick pony. I forgot about the sarcastic “FIRE GIRARDI” post you do.

I guess it’s funny when your starting pitchers don’t get out of the 5th inning and your manager can’t manage his way out of a paper bag.

by New York Sports Jerk on Jul 11, 2009 6:10 PM EDT up reply actions  

speak for yourself

and who’s the one that didn’t ‘get’ your hilarious jokes from the other day? so you’re allowed to be funny, but not FB.

by Travis G on Jul 11, 2009 7:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

Difference is...

…I’m actually funny, and don’t give a fuck if anybody else realizes it. Not going to keep me awake for even an extra second.

FB runs the same stupid joke out there every day and thinks he’s being insightful. Oooh, "I’m going to send a starter to the bullpen to counter the logical “Joba sucks as a starter” argument.

He should call Carrot Top. At least he’s trying to do original material.

by New York Sports Jerk on Jul 12, 2009 3:17 AM EDT up reply actions  

Same old story against these guys

Some things never change. Yankees take the lead, Angels come back. We’ve all seen how this ends.

And Abreu is absolutely killing us. Guy is around .390 with RISP. At least we have Nick Swisher hitting .212 in those spots.

by New York Sports Jerk on Jul 11, 2009 6:01 PM EDT reply actions  

So we can’t hold on and beat the angels.. and they can’t buy a playoff win against the sux

by Yankz09 on Jul 11, 2009 6:10 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

You don't have to be psychic...

…just a student of recent baseball history to know that the Yankees are the Angels’ bitches.

This game is over. Way to go into the All-Star game with some momentum, jackasses.

by New York Sports Jerk on Jul 11, 2009 6:13 PM EDT up reply actions  

Now watch all our bats fall into a deep slumber….

by Yankz09 on Jul 11, 2009 6:16 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

Why

is Fox showing a re-run of last night’s game?

by Hood on Jul 11, 2009 6:17 PM EDT reply actions  

If this guy scores on a strikeout..

by Yankz09 on Jul 11, 2009 6:24 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

hey guy!!!

Everyones FAVORITE reliever is warming up….

by Yankz09 on Jul 11, 2009 6:26 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

Oh, by the way

This is all happening and the Angels are missing Hunter and Vlad from the middle of their order.

by New York Sports Jerk on Jul 11, 2009 6:32 PM EDT reply actions  

Oh sorry...

…I guess it’s not a bad sign to have given up 18 runs in 15 innings to a team missing their two best offensive players.

Carry on.

by New York Sports Jerk on Jul 11, 2009 6:37 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah, get psyched!

Only a 3 run deficit in the 7th inning after having a 4-0 lead! Woo!!!

by New York Sports Jerk on Jul 11, 2009 6:39 PM EDT up reply actions  

Lose the "holier than thou" thing

Nobody is impressed.

I’m still watching the game, I’m just not going to get wood because they managed to make this semi-respectable in the late innings after crapping the bed in the 5th and 6th.

“BOOOOOMMMMM BITCH!” is for home runs that are actually going to make a difference in the game.

by New York Sports Jerk on Jul 11, 2009 6:45 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yankees are BULLY'S!!

Once they get punched in the mouth the go away with their tail between their legs….

Trade drunk Joba before he drinks his fat ass out of MLB

by Saratoga Springs#1 on Jul 11, 2009 6:34 PM EDT reply actions  

Like I said why isn’t this guy getting more playing time?

by Yankz09 on Jul 11, 2009 6:38 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

I told you guys

getting Hinske was a waste of a roster spot.

Doesn’t look too good now.

If I's known I was going to live so long, I'd have taken better care of myself. Casey

by Cbeck3 on Jul 11, 2009 6:42 PM EDT reply actions  

completely agree. y not trade for some1 good. this guy cant even hit the ball! should’ve kept berorra who the mets were lucky enough to get today! i say berorra is gonna b battin in front of wright cause his .925 OBP is darn good.

by bforce3 on Jul 11, 2009 6:50 PM EDT up reply actions  

Hughes?

by Yankz09 on Jul 11, 2009 6:44 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

Gee, what a shock

The Yankees get back into the game (sort of) and Girardi leaves Tomko in there.

Who didn’t see a home run coming?

by New York Sports Jerk on Jul 11, 2009 6:53 PM EDT reply actions  

Boom bitch?

Thanks Robertson and Tomko.

by FreeBradshaw on Jul 11, 2009 7:00 PM EDT reply actions  

Now what would this game look like if hughes pitched the 7th?

by Yankz09 on Jul 11, 2009 7:04 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

is that a trick question? or do u just want me to say we’d be 1 run closer?

by bforce3 on Jul 11, 2009 7:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

ORRRRRRRRRRRRRr

better yet what if roy halladay pitched a complete game shut out for us instead of andy’s poor performance?!

by bforce3 on Jul 11, 2009 7:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

Unbelievable

by Yankz09 on Jul 11, 2009 7:25 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

wow...

he was out.

Thanks umps!

by FreeBradshaw on Jul 11, 2009 7:27 PM EDT reply actions  

Sooo… how about halladay?

by Yankz09 on Jul 11, 2009 7:34 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

HELP!!

Cashman, please try and get halladay for a package with JOBA and some top prospects….even austin jackson…..he is another no power corner outfielder that we have no need for with our financial resources!!!! Make the deal, and keep hughes as the 7 & 8th guy.

Joba chamberlain has a drinking problem and need to trade him now while he has any value!!!

PULL THE TRIGGER CASHMAN

by Saratoga Springs#1 on Jul 11, 2009 9:15 PM EDT reply actions  

what the hell is wrong with you?

where do you come across saying Joba has a drinking problem and that’s why we need to trade him?

by FreeBradshaw on Jul 11, 2009 9:21 PM EDT up reply actions  

Whoa, dude!

That’s incredibly irresponsible to throw around accusations like that. Plus, that kind of trade is just crazy talk. It isn’t happening. I love Saratoga, dude, but you’ve been drinking too much of that crappy-tasting spring water.
