Rally falls short in 10-9 loss

You’re right I would have loved Jeter in that situation. Thats why its horrible that melky hit into a dp, because if he would’ve struck out Jeter still had a chance. That makes that bunt even more retarded.

…that I feel like stabbing Girardi in the neck with a pair of scissors?

Should I get Michael Irvin to do it for me?

What an asshole.

Like YankeesJets said, SHUT THE MOTHERFUCKING DOOR!!! Okay, he didnt say that exactly.

I was at the game tonight and the Yankees were so flat tonight and truly didn’t deserve to win this game and Joba is awful he is so overrated its unbelievable he doesn’t throw strikes which is the easiest part of the game and has to trust his stuff more than he does. Besides the point though Girardi could be one of the worst managers in the league. First of all if you insist on bunting in that situation bring Ramiro Pena into the game and he will bunt the runners over. It is so frustrating especially when we have no outs in all honesty a bunt isn’t even necessary. Horrible managing Girardi makes horrible decisions and is lucky this team is extraordinarily talented

I love the yankees but sometimes I hate listening to you fucking Yankees fans

blame the Yankees organization for Joba’s bad performance. He was rolling after the all-star break then they decide to give him extra rest and now he is pitching like crap. He is a grown man, stop babying him, throw him out there every 5 days if he is as good as they say he is!!

the organization! blame the manager! Do you guys hear yourselves? The players failed this time. That simple. When did my fellow yankee fans become idiots?

Tough loss, and in spite of another awful outing by Joba and not much better by Gaudin, the game should have been won in the 9th. One of Girardi’s dumbest calls this season and there has been some beauties—Swisher is for the most part a fly ball hitter with some power, a sack fly moves the runner to 3rd same as a bunt—not excusing Swisher for not getting in done but main guy is Girardi. Also Harriston needs to keep his head in the game and avoid the dp-that would give Jeter a chance to do something. Seems like no one can figure out what is wrong with Joba, one look at his swollen, bloated face, may be a clue. You could tell in the first inning he was back to the old habits of not being aggressive.

Some pitchers simply don’t have the temperment or emotional makeup to become first class starting pitchers. This has been my feeling about Joba since last year. Remember how he used to cause an electrical jolt when he’d enter in the 7th or 8th inning? And for one inning he was always dynamite. A second inning—not so much. He just might make a super star closer, but we aren’t going to find out if Cashman and Girardi keep trying to make him something he’s not. Quit forcing the issue, Joe, and send Joba to the bullpen where he not only belongs but will undoubtedly shine.

don’t seem to have watched the game. First of all, Joba’s ERA before this start was under 4. You guys make it sound like he gives up 6 runs every outing. Secondly, he had the one bad inning where he gave up 5 runs, yes, but ALL (except maybe 1) of those hits were complete dribblers and bloopers. Not to be making excuses, but he really did run into some horrible luck.

As for Swisher, I don’t know who called the bunt, but it doesn’t matter. He shouldn’t have been bunting. Statistically, you’re no more likely to score by bunting. We were hitting that guy hard, and Swisher can easily walk or fly out and advance the runner, or even get a hit.

I grew up with the Yankees, in the days of Mantle, Maris, Berra, Martin and all the other greats, and have followed in detail each and every year since, and am as deep a fan as ever. They lose one game and I can go berzerk. I’ll usually always find some sort of a problem but down deep, they are the best and always will be. I guess I just expect everyone to play, hustle, and carry themself, at all times like Jeter. And speaking of that, as good a player that Cano is, I’m sick of his bullshit lazy, lackadasical attitude. Half the time he doesn’t run out ground balls, slide into second, and stands at the plate, watching his ball go over the fence, but when it hits the wall, then he runs. Ever see Jeter or Texeria do that? Now their management and owners are something else, starting with Cashman. Letting Joe Torre go was one of the greatest mistakes of alltime. Not far behind was selecting Girardi over Donnie baseball, Don Mattingly. And because of it, Mattingly left to go with Torre and so did the coaches. We have 1st and 3rd base coaches along with a pitching coach who just about nobody has ever heard of. The only thing the third base coach can do is always send the runner home and half the the, he gets thrown out by a mile! And who is the batting coach? Anybody that won a batting title, HR title or RBI leader? The Yankees are winning right now, and will continue to do so, with talent, certainly not with coaching. They are also going to need solid 6-7 inning performances from Sabbathia, Burnett, Petite, and Chamberlain. Championships are won with pitching. Always have, always will. Of course, good hitting is nice to have! More later.
