Yankees 3, Phillies 6 - Losing to the Ageless Wonder

Tiny by 3460kuri on

Well, I sure got this wrong.

Jamie Moyer shut the Yankees down tonight, allowing only 4 baserunners over 8 innings.  It must have been the 82 MPH fastball that gave the Yankees problems. 

AJ Burnett had better stuff but couldn't locate any of it, surrendering 6 runs on 6 hits and 4 walks in 3 1/3 innings.  He actually pitched badly enough to make Boone Logan look good. 

As an aside, the Yankees really need another utility infield option - Kevin Russo and Ramiro Pena are both hitting their weight. 

Play of the Game: Shane Victorino's 2nd inning triple put the Phillies up 4-0 and had the largest impact on the outcome of the game (17%).

Quote of the Game: This has to go to mrljdavid: 

When asked if he was headed to Cooperstown after his career was over, Moyer responded, "Why? I’ve already been there, when my pal Abner Doubleday created the game."* That’s how old he is.

AJ got shelled at the Stadium? That’s odd.

We were going to lose sometime

I had a bad feeling once I saw all the “Moyer is old, its in the bag crap”

I expected us to win every game for the remainder of the season now that we’ve caught up to the Rays. I’m so devastated I’m not sure I can continue being a Yankees fan.

Thank Cervelli the Rays also lost, if we were 1 game back in June, how long before we’re mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, or combined with the Mets, or just contracted altogether?

Being from Indiana I kept hearing the Hoosiers reference.

Although people don’t realize, that Milan (Hickory) actually lost the championship game before they won. So for the reference to be right, Butler would have to win next year.

They started recruiting Cody Zeller as well, the youngest brother.

He’s supposed to be the best of the three. Right now the leaders are IU and Butler (supposedly, no one really knows with the Zeller’s), but I’ve heard if UNC offers it’s over.

After last season I kind of wished our fans were more like UNCs. I mean IU is supposed to have one of the best fanbases in the county, but after last season some people are wanting Crean’s head on a silver platter just because he hasn’t turned around an impossible situation in two years. Some think we should have hired Brad Stevens. No and no.

I heard that they wanted his little brother.

Tyler is RIDICULOUSLY TALL. I’ve walked past him before and it’s just nuts.

I think it would take a lot for us to turn our back on Roy. He loves the program and we know that he does his best with it. When you lose people like Ty Lawson and Danny Green, it’s hard to immediately bounce back. Now, if he pulls a Matt Doherty all bets are off, I’m sure. I don’t think he will though.

Brad Stevens seems like a good coach. He’s gorgeous, so that could have something to do with my opinion. Seems like a good guy though.

by WhatwouldJeterdo on Jun 17, 2010 2:13 AM EDT up reply actions  

Easy girl, Stevens is married.

He’s a good young coach, but I don’t want him over Crean right now. Stevens had one great run, but coaches a mid-major. Crean competed in the Big East with a program built for mid-majors.

People outside of our fanbase don’t realize exactly what the situation was. Many people think it was NCAA violations, it wasn’t. Many people think there were NCAA sanctions, there wasn’t. However, the situation was so hopeless no one not named Bob Knight could’ve turned it around yet without some serious violations.

UNC has good fans, I’ll give them that. It’s to the point now though, that I’m sick of some of ours.

I know he's married!

But so is DRob…

ANYWAY, I heard rumblings that Wake wanted Stevens after they fired Gaudio. I knew they had the pockets to put forth some serious change if they wanted to, but I don’t know if they actually went after him or not. I personally think they were stupid to even fire Gaudio to begin with. The guy now? His old school couldn’t get rid of him fast enough. Shouldn’t that set off about 439293 alarms?

I get the whole mid-major thing being different though. And people get lucky from time to time (ex: George Mason) so it’s not always indicative of how they will do every year. So for that, I think you guys were smart to stay away.

I'm a member of Hoosier Nation, the scout.com

forum. There’s one person convinced we could’ve had any number of great coaches. Throwing names like Mark Few (Gonzaga). He refuses to believes Crean was the best option we had.

Wake hired a guy from Colorado I believe. I heard rumors that they might hire McClain, but they didn’t. Instead, we got McClain. Colorado isn’t a big program though.

People are so entranced with Stevens after that run. He’s a mid-major coach, will be there for a long time. Things had to fall exactly right for them to make that run.

Yeah, their dude is from Colorado.

There was an article published in the newspaper that was written by either a fan or someone from that school and it basically said “He’s leaving on a plane to NC, let’s just hope he doesn’t come back”. Brutal. I think his daughter goes to Wake or something.

There’s a lot to be said for Cinderella. It’s a nice feel-good story. But it just doesn’t last for the most part. Plus, Heyward went pro, didn’t he? Big piece of that puzzle to fill for next year. At the end of the day, mid-majors are still mid-majors.

I don't post as much on Hoosier Nation as I used to.

I’m getting sick of the negativity about everything. I’ve got concerns but I’m going to support the coach and team. One person on there actually questioned my fandom, big mistake from a newbie.

Stevens is a good, young coach. He may have continued success at Butler, for a mid-major. However, Hayward is entering the draft as you said. He’s got a decent recruit coming in but not a highly regarded player. Of course, those recruiting rankings are crapshoots for the most part.

I grew up on IU.

That was pretty much it. My dad was a fan, and I watched the games with him. Just like UNC, we’re a traditional power, we (IU, UNC) compete for conference titles and Finals Fours/Championships. It’s what we’re used to.

I became a Yankees fan because I saw one WS on TV and that’s who I aligned with for whatever reason.

I can watch football. I like football,and used to play as I’m sure you know. Football can be very entertaining, but there’s a lot involved with it though.

I don’t think I saw the Cardinal stadium when I was in St. Louis, but maybe I did. We went to the Arch and Six Flags, so everything that day was kind of a blur. I’ve also seen Wrigley, but didn’t actually go to a game there.

I've never been TO the arch, but I've been by there.

A lot of people in my area are Cardinals fans. Cardinals are my second favorite team. Actually, people here are split with Cards/Cubs/Reds pretty much. There’s the occassional Red Sox fan. One girl I know started liking the Sox because her fiancee does, I could’ve sworn she was smarter than that.

The movie is awful.

It’s why I love it. I mean, it has Frank Longoria as Skeletor!

Well the movie wouldn't be live action.

It’d be more along the lines of Beaowulf, with the GCI animation or whatever it is. That’s what I read anyway, which was in an interview with the guy who voiced Lion-O. Have you ever seen the outtakes on youtube?

Oh, I knew of those outtakes before YouTube existed.

They are simply priceless!

Haha, also comparing it to Beowulf isn’t a good thing! (I’m joking, I know you meant the CG)

Those outtakes are hilarious. “What the f*ck am I saying?” LOL

Random Question: Are you going to be a sophomore or a junior? Or does that violate the personal info threshold?

by WhatwouldJeterdo on Jun 17, 2010 4:34 AM EDT up reply actions  

An interesting question, I can’t really give you that straight of an answer though.

I skipped a grade in high school and started going to communiy college early, and then completed a 2 year degree there. Last year was my first year at a 4 year school, but based on some transferring issues, I need 3 more semesters to get my bachelors.

So I’m a junior I guess, but this coming year will be my 4th year of college.

by Lord Duggan on Jun 17, 2010 4:37 AM EDT up reply actions  

Not a big deal, I was just wondering if my math was messed up.

Skipping a grade? Yeah, not surprised.
