PrintBaltimore Orioles at New York Yankees, Sep 11, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
Derek Jeter stands on the brink of breaking the Yankees 70-year old hits record. I'm selfishly hoping he doesn't get a hit until tomorrow (when I'll be in attendance).
In related news, there are two teams playing each other tonight. The pitching matchup is Andy Pettitte vs. Chris Tillman, a former top prospect in the O's organization. Andy's been doing his best Mike Mussina 2008 impression recently; since the All-Star break, he's 5-1 with a 2.88 ERA in 65.2 innings (in addition to 65 K and 20 BB). Additionally, Pettitte has dominated Baltimore this season, to the tune of two earned runs in 15.1 innings with 16 strikeouts.
Tillman has been adjusting to big league hitters moderately well. His ERA+ is 100, but that's probably lucky (it is in fact: his FIP is 6.23) since he's struck outonly 24 and allowed 11 homers in 46.1 innings.

- The start time is now scheduled for 8:20.

Here’s the great thing about tonight- his next hit sets the Yankee record.
Here’s the great thing about the rest of his career- his next hit sets the Yankee record.

Go Yanks

Great Point JScape!
When you have the record, and you’re still playing, every hit becomes the record.
I loved the previous discussion re: Gehrig. What’s outstanding about this opportunity for Jeter is that not only will the new record be held by a great hitter, it wil be held by a humble man, one that has all of the class that the Iron Horse had.
Damn Rain
I wish Mlb Extra innings would allow you to continue watching the channel despite the rain delay.

seems like the TB & BOS game is delayed too
bases loaded for tampa tho.
Game On!!!! No Flash on the play by play-but Leiter sux to me too
If I have to hear Kay, I’d rather hear him with Cone, Singelton or O’Neill—-in that order as a matter of fact……………..PLAY BALL

Y can't they do regular Yankee blue hats with USA emblems?
I hate the red joints.

Id rather forfeit the game

I can't believe they're playing in this
As much as I hate to punt, if I was Girardi I’d have put in all the scrubs.

+1
We gotta think about the future

I’m suprised they even started this game..

Did anyone every point to Michael Kay, just for the fun of it, that Rockefeller Christmas Tree is circular?

It might have been easier if Jeter could see the ball.

I like it. It’s safer on the bases that way.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
AROD!!!
bottom of the first, and Gamecast gives the Yankees an 81% chance of winning.
thanks to the person here that told me about TVants, I'm watching the ESPN Taiwan
broadcast..it’s an English broadcast. I watched the Tampa game (2 games ago) on it as well but there is obviously a delay as ARod hasnt batted yet (Tex is batting)..but it works. if someone knows a better connect I’d appreciate that as well.
was that me?
the pplive whatevs website right?
works wonders.. but if youre using the TVAnts coming from taiwan, its gonna be slower than the “china” one.
i'm using the "ppstream" one from taiwan
and its only 4 balls behind
the trick is to find out which tvants is fastest btw
That was a shottttttt!
ARod is comin’ around at the right time.

Hairston
At least this time there wont be a buckneresque error at 3rd to end the perfoecto….
"Son, Nobody is half as good as Mickey Mantle"
An opposite field "off the hands" bloop single
would make John Sterling wet himself and use the word “Jeterian”
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE SEEN THAT SUZYN?
Facial LaFleur, total facial.
Actually I'm pretty sure when Jeter gets his next hit
Sterling will wet himself no matter what, so it really doesn’t matter from that respect.
Facial LaFleur, total facial.
Derek!
Thank you jete, you have taken a date that we remember with for being one of the most horrific in American history and and have given a reason to smile.
by swanny4eva on Sep 11, 2009 9:31 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
exactly what i was thinking
plus, Pete Rose broke the record for most career hits on this day back in 1985… Is it fate?
Pettitte is living dangerously. But so far, so good.

Sigh
Marte, Albaladejo, and Ramirez blow a lead and cough up 7 runs. Annnndddd we’re back in April. It’s deja vu all over again.
not really
These guys will never see the field in October. This wasn’t our normal bullpen. And I think Joe probably was trying not to get his good guys hurt with this shitty weather
by swanny4eva on Sep 11, 2009 11:44 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Yes, I know that
Which is why I wasn’t freaking out like some people here. :)
now they stop the fucking game!
This is complete bullshit

im just really confused as to why girardi pulled these crap pitchers
when we’re so close.
i dont get it either. that's all i have to say about that.

by GTWYankee on Sep 11, 2009 11:51 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
do you think the
Weather and not wanting to get good reliable relievers hurt this close to the playoffs had anything to do with it
by swanny4eva on Sep 11, 2009 11:51 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
i'd like to think girardi considers every game just as important
we have not yet clinched the playoffs spot.. especially a close game like this.
i get that.
And I don’t think any game should be taken for granted, but id be happier with a 8 game lead and no injuries than a 9 game lead and Phil or ace hurt.
by swanny4eva on Sep 11, 2009 11:56 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
is game in the books?
whats a signature
by GTWYankee on Sep 11, 2009 11:56 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
can we remember this game as the game
where we came back from a 6 run deficit? please, mitre? please no runs?
Bleh hope we win the next two
lets just pretend all that happen today was jeter’s record breaking hit
