PrintNew York Yankees at Baltimore Orioles, Aug 31, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
After avenging Chicago's beatdown of a month ago with a playoff-killing sweep, it's back to playing teams that (hopefully) don't care.
Jeremy Guthrie goes for the last place O's. He leads the league in earned runs and homers allowed, but is coming off consecutive great starts in which he allowed two runs in 14 innings. This will be his fourth start against the Yanks - in the first three (the last of which was on May 20th), he gave up 11 runs in 19 innings (5.21 ERA).
'My Man Andy' (as my father-in-law calls him) goes for the Bombers - he's undefeated in six starts since July 30th in Chicago, compiling a 2.84 ERA this month with 31 strikeouts in 31.2 innings. He's made only one start vs. Baltimore this season (7.1 ip, 1 er, 6 h, 8 k, 2 bb).
- Who's hot?
Despite a bad knuckle, Jorge Posada had a great week at the plate (1.783 OPS). Behind him are Johnny Damon (1.215) and The Captain (1.090).
- Who's not?
Jose Molina, who fortunately is a backup (.322). If Posada ever went down for an extended period, we'd be in serious trouble (like 2008). Nick Swisher is also slumping (.461); for whatever reason, he just cannot hit at Yankee Stadium (.681 vs. .959 on the road).

Is Jorge back yet?
Getting tired of wielding the NL lineup with Molina in there.
GODZZIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
I hope to see Pettitte back next year. I think he’s a great pitcher and wish I’d gotten interested in baseball earlier to be able to watch him pitch more. As for the whole Joba situation, I think they either let him pitch like a normal pitcher or move him back into the bullpen.
l_ i -,_-,_@
+1
we’ll need Andy back next year. There is no guarantee Wang is coming back, and at best he’s back in July of next year. The only 2 sure things of next years rotation is Sabathia and Burnett. And I would guess Hughes and Joba would be in there as well. Joba and Hughes are both still developing starters, and we’ll need another solid guy in there. Andy would be perfect for that. Otherwise we’ll have to spend millions on another starter.
Screw the innings limit. It’s obviously doing him no good after last night. Let him pitch till he gets tired. You’re going to have your ups and downs. It’s his first year as a starter for god sake! He’s as ready as he’ll ever be. As the years go on he’ll get better and then a few years later he’ll get worse. Stop screwing him already!
l_ i -,_-,_@
Not that I disagree
But you have to remember the seasoning that Joba is getting right now is seasoning that most pitchers get in the minors. The Joba Rules are there to prevent him from being a flash in the pan. What that tells me is that it’s more a matter of he’s got the stuff just not the innings/stamina/durability that you would like to see on a starter. That’s not to say that this whole thing isn’t ridiculous, but I think that’s more the reason that this is such a big story because he’s getting that seasoning in the majors that he would normally get in the minors.

I Just Think......
I think if they’re not going to let him pitch like a normal pitcher they should put him back in the bullpen.

Anyone know why Damon left yesterdays game early?
Was it just to rest him?

Matsui's
OPS is .220 pts higher too away from the stadium.
Really the only thing the new stadium is doing is a few extra HR in the short porch in right.
And many of them lately would have been out of the old stadium too.
GODZZIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
by FreeBradshaw on Aug 31, 2009 8:15 PM EDT up reply actions
true
the New Stadium is also on pace to give up less home runs than we had at the original in 2005. There was no wind tunnel there.
we just hit a TON of HR this year....
and its not even cuz of A-Rod either.
GODZZIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
by FreeBradshaw on Aug 31, 2009 8:18 PM EDT up reply actions
A-Rods been a part of it
but everyone has had a hand in the power this year. I can’t wait till next year, when A-Rod is A-Rod again and we may pick up another big power bat. We’ll REALLY be hitting a lot of home runs
He's been 'part' of it
but c’mon, a Healthy A-Rod has 35 knocks this season. He hasn’t had a full healthy season in 2 years too.

Too bad Toronto didn't play like this against Boston
by YanksFanSince64 on Aug 31, 2009 9:26 PM EDT reply actions
we'll just destroy them when they come to the Stadium at the end of September
hopefully Texas will still be alive by then. I’m counting Tampa out. With the trade of their ace they pretty much gave up on their season (no idea why).
that was fun everyone (including bradshaw)
hope you’re not mad at me bradshaw. I’m still willing to put this behind us :)
I don’t really have a PhD from MIT. Only Orioles go to school in Boston.
But I’m still a pimp. So watch yo back son!
I aint mad
Just maybe added a prank call to my ‘arsenal’.
**calls the U, asks…do you teach HORN PERFORMANCE. LOL!

you cant always say that. WHY RISK INJURY? your always risking injury every minute of every day.
l_ i -,_-,_@
yea
but is there ANY point in having Pettitte pitch 115+ pitches when we don’t need him to? Let a rested guy in the bullpen finish it. Andy doesn’t need to stress himself right now
GUARPO is an oriole.
The better question is…
WHO ARE YOU!?!?!?!?!?!!?!
I happen to be a Yankees fan, LIKE EERYONE ELSE HERE!

some guy called me Abigail earlier in the thread.
Guarpo you need to take a chill pill!
or are you a bitter oriole?

Maybe I should have
bet that Bruney would finish the tame.
Or Game.
GODZZIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
trying
To make it a save situation
by swanny4eva on Aug 31, 2009 9:41 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
according to Bruney
thats what a set up guy does. Gives the ball to Mo. And he tries to do that no matter what the situation isi
its funny
I’m sitting here all depressed cause Andy didn’t get the perfect game or no no. I had to remind myself we are in line for the win.
by swanny4eva on Aug 31, 2009 9:40 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
well..
he’s warming up.

Cervelli
was who the Red Sox traded Babe Ruth for.
Then he shut it down. Cervelli WAS the Curse of the Red Sox.
(if you ask what happened in 2004 and 2007, Frankie would say he was creating Earth)
GODZZIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
by FreeBradshaw on Aug 31, 2009 9:47 PM EDT up reply actions
No
Cervelli is the GOD MC.
plays every OF position, IF, and catcher, and pitches.
He is the team. He IS the Yankees.
GODZZIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
by FreeBradshaw on Aug 31, 2009 9:43 PM EDT up reply actions
Why are you always shouting at me?
I don’t even know you any more.
That's it Bruney
like the Trolls and the near perfecto didn’t make it interesting enough.
GODZZIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
Come on Bruney!
Make it close enough so Mo can get a save.
David Eckstein is my boyfriend
Thank you everyone for the warm welcome to the New York Yankees website.
I really hoped everyone would love me and I think some of you guys love me. The rest of you I’m not so sure about.
B. Bruney has a season era of 4.34. That means that for every 2 innings, he gives up about one run. Cervelli is in the bullpen. But he is not God. Eckstein might be.
Some of you guys lie too much. On the Padres board, they never lie. I’m from New Mexico. We have no MLB teams. It’s a shame.
Anyways thanks for the warm welcome and see you all soon! hopefully very very very soon!! Some of you very very very very very very soon!!!
Good night everyone :) :) :)
I knew he could do it for MO!
Now that’s a good teammate.
way to go Bruney
what the hell was the point of putting him in?
GODZZIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
by FreeBradshaw on Aug 31, 2009 9:47 PM EDT up reply actions
he's the set up man
the set up man hands the ball to Mo. lol
I seriously don’t know whats wrong with him. He was so good in April, he gets hurt, and then he loses his location.
Bruney
would actually make a good closer.
He’s actually pretty lights out in close games, yet when its not a save situation, he blows. See, that’s what all good closers do.
GODZZIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
by FreeBradshaw on Aug 31, 2009 9:50 PM EDT up reply actions
Thats true
but because he’s so bad when it isn’t close, he doesn’t pitch so much when it IS close. Thats when Hughes comes in.
Except Papelbon...he makes it close every time it seems.
I can’t wait for us to finally push him over the edge next time.
I firmly believe
Papelbon relieves himself on the mound (in more ways than one).
Once the bases are loaded, he’s unhittable. I really don’t understand it. But yea, the Yanks are pushing him over the edge.
GODZZIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
by FreeBradshaw on Aug 31, 2009 9:54 PM EDT up reply actions
We've beaten him before
I remember in 2007 when A-Rod homered off him in Fenway! I remember Paplebon through a tantrum after that.
I know tomorrow is callup day
But I got a list of send-downs I’d like to see, and Bruney and Coke are at the top!
All I know
is Im going into a cryogenic freezer and timing it for Game TIme tomorrow. I CAN’T WAIT!

did anyone else notice
That bruney started sucking after he ran his mouth about k rod. I think karma may be buying him in the ass at this point
by swanny4eva on Aug 31, 2009 9:54 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
ANNNNNND
The Rangers coming back, 11- 7.
Speaking of 11-7, Im going for a beer run.
GODZZIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
ah......
they just showed the MO K to end the game replay on MLB network.
Just a thing of beauty. MO’s cutter is the 8th wonder of the world.
GODZZIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
NOW
beer.

Good game
Hopefully the Oriole fans can find something better to do tomorrow. Maybe they can pull out their Betamax of the 1983 WS win.
