PrintNew York Mets at New York Yankees, Jun 20, 2010 1:05 PM EDT
Believe it or not, the title makes sense. The Yankees are going after a series win today against the Mets and also after the overall subway series tie. The last time the Yankees lost the overall subway series to the Mets was in 2008. The losing pitchers for the Yankees in the series in 2008? Darrell Rasner, Andy Pettitte, Chien-Ming Wang, and Dan Giese. CC is better than most of them, right?
Last time Johan pitched in the Bronx he gave up nine hits and nine runs in three innings pitched. A game like that would really be great!
VS.
As for the overflow, I'll try to stick around and wait to see when you want it, but if not it will be live at 3:00 EST. Also, HAPPY FATHERS DAY! Enjoy!

Mets usually don't give Johan run support...
I’m more worried about the offense getting their act together and getting the big hits. CC should have a solid start.
In Jeter, We trust.
Are we feeling that Tex and Arod will start hitting more long balls soon?
BTW… +1 on the picture

You know,
if we didn’t think a lot of our guys would turn their bats around, our batting order would be totally different based on performance thus far. Like:
Gardner
Swisher
Cano
Posada
ARod
Jeter
Tex
Cervelli
Granderson
I am merely saying a lot of our guys aren't batting well that usually do
not that we should change the order. I’m not crazy. That’s why I put the disclaimer at the top.
Would like
to see Gardner, than Jeter myself.

Jeter hits too many ground balls to bat #2
lots of double plays. And really, I wasn’t saying I wanted to redo the order. I was more observing how some of our lesser guys (Gardner, Cervelli) are having really good years and some of our great guys (Tex, Jeter, ARod) are having off years. I wouldn’t actually change the order.
I know that
but Gardner would run more I think, batting leadoff.

I don’t expect guys to get a hit every time up, but I would like good ABs every time up.

He should have known he wasnt going to hit many homers there
What did he get an extra $8 million?
Odds are better that the Red Sox win a title in the next couple of years as opposed to the Mets I would say.. but who knows

8 million isnt a lot of money, ha
And I think the Mets have an easier shot than the Sox at winning a title. They are in the easier NL, and not in as tough a division. And the Mets are a lot younger than the Sox.
I meant it sarcastically
8 million is a lot of money, and I dont blame Bay for going for the most money

I think that was their point
Because everybody complains about their guys, but that we feel its okay if Joba or Cervelli do it. Personally I dont care, but I hate seeing guys celebrate when their team is not doing well. Even in football, a guys team is losing by 30 points and he is going nuts after getting a sack. Gimme a break.
I honestly don't care if Reyes claps his hands when he gets a hit.
Good for him.
I do care the Valverde almost breaks into River Dance on the mound when he throws a strike.
by WhatwouldJeterdo on Jun 20, 2010 2:03 PM EDT up reply actions
I think when Reyes is smirking while running the bases after a HR
pisses off the other teams even more than the fans. It is no wonder the Nats and Marlins played like their lives were on the line during those Mets collapses. And yes Valverde needs a beatdown.

He has had guys on in front of him
from not batting 9th. I bet the thumb injury is a factor too.

so what part of the stadium isn;t a special?
then again compared to citifield players need to hit it out of most ballparks to even get close to getting a hr in that oversized place
And they made Johan throw 20+ pitches again this inning.
Though if they can have innings like this against him, they don’t want him out.

Pedroia is all pointless hustle
If he played in a normal ballpark he would hit as many homers and Gardner.

Gardner is a better hitter and much faster
I am merely saying they have similar slugging abilities.
Gardner would hit 1000 HRs at Big Stupid Wall Park
"We're only going to score 17 points?" - Tom Brady
"Well played, Mauer." - Guy from PS3 commercials
He would hit 1000 in most parks
Yankee stadium is too small. All of his doubles would be inside-the-park homers anywhere else.
why do they call it a "rubber match"?
What’s up with that? Did they used to give the winners free tires? Or free condoms? Did losing drive managers so crazy that they had to throw them in a rubber room?

According to Paul Dickson’s The New Dickson’s Baseball Dictionary (Harcourt Brace, 1999), a “rubber game” is “The last and deciding game of a series when the previous games have been split; e.g., the seventh game of the World Series.” This tie-breaking sense of “rubber” apparently originated in the pulse-pounding English game of “bowls,” or lawn bowling. Despite its name, bowls has little in common with American bowling, and consists of rolling wooden balls (called “bowls”) across a level green, the object being to get your ball as close as possible to (but not to hit) a little white ball at the other end of the green. “Rubber” in its tie-breaking sense first appeared in the context of bowls around 1599, and was in use by the card-playing crowd (whist, bridge, etc.) by 1744. A set of three games of bridge is still generally referred to as a “rubber.”
Unfortunately, no one knows where “rubber” in this sense came from. It appears to be unrelated to the elastic sort of “rubber.” (Incidentally, our modern elastic “rubber” is short for “India-rubber,” from its original source in the East Indies. “Rubber” previously meant anything used to rub, smooth or clean.) Brewer’s Dictionary of Phrase and Fable ventures that the term may have referred to two “bowls” rubbing together, a fatal error in the game of bowls. Or it might be a metaphorical use of “rubber” (something that expunges) referring to the “sudden death” third game of a series, the loss of which would conclusively “rub out” the losing team’s hopes. But there is, sad to say, no solid evidence for either theory."
I think that ‘rubber match’ will mean the match that will decide the rubber ie the fifth in a series of five. The term rubber doesn’t itself mean decisive.

My guess was that it's because the series could bend either way with a win.
Like rubber. I don’t even know if that makes sense.

Michael Kay...
Has Satanic powers of jinx. If you look at the MLB Gameday highlight of Tex’s slam, the evil one can barely finish mumbling about Santana giving up grand slams when Tex hits it out. I believe that gigantic headed demon can jinx anyone including the Yankees.
Jeter!
Tex homers again…Jeter with a single and double…looking good.

Swinging 3-0 when you're slumping is just a stupid idea

Usually you get a fastball down the middle on 3-0
Up 4-0 with CC pitching, I say why not take a chance to get out of the slump.
it isnt a bad idea

I tend to disagree
In this circumstance, at least. For most hitters, I’d have them take, especially when a guy’s having trouble throwing strikes. But A-Rod is a HOFer. You’ve got to trust him to look for the right pitch and hit it hard. And (though I hate to agree with Kay) maybe getting a HR off a pitch right down the middle will restore his power stroke.
by long time listener on Jun 20, 2010 2:50 PM EDT up reply actions
he tried to hit the HR
it was a good idea, but A-Rod tried too hard.
