PIE! Yankees Walk-Off With 5-4 Win

Email
PrintAfter a touching pre-game tribute to George Steinbrenner and Bob Sheppard (I loved when Mo put flowers on home plate), the Yankees won a thriller, as if it was scripted, in comeback fashion to send everyone home happy.
They were down 3-1 in the sixth but tied it up on back-to-back homers in the bottom of the inning. They trailed again in the eighth and tied it on a Nick Swisher solo shot. Swisher came through again an inning later with an RBI single to cap off a glorious night in Yankee-land.
Overall he went 3-5 with three RBI, bringing his career-year line to .303/.380/.534. You've got to love that he kissed George Steinbrenner's patch (above the N-Y) after his eighth inning game-tying homer. It was only fitting that he would come to the plate (and deliver) with a chance to win the game in the ninth.
CC Sabathia certainly wasn't bad, conceding four runs (three earned) in seven innings. Tampa really didn't hit many balls hard (just one XBH, and that's only because it took a funny bounce off the wall), but a bunch found their way out of the infield and led to a run here and there. A-Rod failing to catch a soft liner because a bat shard was flying toward him will find its way into opponents' blooper reels for a long time.
How huge was B.J. Upton's pick-off in the top of the ninth? It just felt like he'd be on second moments later... but it never happened thanks to Mo.
Just when I was getting down on Granderson, he singled in the ninth to represent the go-ahead run. Then his speed enabled him to score despite a great throw from Gabe Kapler.
Brett Gardner continues to walk despite being a 'Punch and Judy' hitter. It's amazing that a guy with no power can draw so many walks that he leads the New York Yankees in OBP (.398). It goes to show that you don't need power to walk, just patience, discipline and bat control (he's incredible at fouling off tough pitches).
The break didn't help Derek Jeter much. He went 0-5, dropping his average to .270 (.173 in his last 14 games).
Play of the Game: Here's a hint - it upped the Yankees' chances of winning from 62% to 100%.
Comment of the Game: Captain_Mick, for explaining why baseball is better than a night out with friends. Makes sense to me.

Lost in that was Granderson's excellent slide into home plate
When I saw the throw I was ready to turn away in disbelief but Granderson had a great slide to evade the tag from what I saw.

very nicely done indeed
although Shoppach dropped the ball anyway.

Yep....
…away from the race.
It’s a dran shame. The Red Sox with a healthy lineup could be good. But our GM has decided to watch his team sink instead of making amove.
The Red Sox are not agressive enough.

blowouts are never fun
and watching your AAA team play in the MLB instead of your MLB team is also not very fun.
I sympathize with you and wish the Red Sox if not a speedy recovery, then at least a welcome chance for all the Red Sox fans to see their future stars, no matter the score of the game.
Thank you
For being nice about it.
I feel like we need to get rid of the Patterson’s of the world and give Kalish a chance, beacuse he has more upside than Patterson ever did

no problem
I must confess I don’t know a lot about the Red Sox prospects, but if Theo is working like he did earlier in the decade, I’m sure he’s got some plans lined up to replace the aging elements of the team with young talent.
I hope so
its known Im not a huge Theo fan. I feel he should of traded for bullpen help much earlier

yeah
looks like the Sox are in a much worse spot than the Yankees. First, so many of your starting position players are injured, so you’re playing with AAA talent. Second, their rotation is missing they guy who is supposed to be the ace of the staff (supplanted quite well by Lester) and has two underperforming starters in the rotation. And lastly, like the Yankees, your bullpen is worn thin, and in order to not risk Bard’s arm, need bullpen help (or any arms) to get through games.
Like I said, I sympathize.
Exactly.
It would be nice if Theo made a few moves to tread water.

any ideas for a fanpost?
I’m looking to hone my writing and research skills, and what better subject than something related to my favorite sport or my favorite team.
Can anyone suggest a topic that hasn’t been done on this site yet, as well as one that won’t be done by a staff writer?
Sure
Write about puppies and fairytales and happy endings! Seriously, how about writing about the past decades pennant races and what the ultimate deciding factor of them were?

very good, very good
I shall do so. :) Er, the past decade’s pennant races and the deciding factors. So, I’ll be looking at not the playoffs or the WS, but the fights to the finish for the Division championships as well as the WC?
Would you mind if I e-mailed you my first draft or two for feedback before posting it?
Sounds good!
I was going to do this myself, but I did not have the patience to actually check out what the factors were and whatnot. You can do the playoffs if you want in a separate post or something, but in one post it might be too much to read at once. I can definitely read whatever whenever.

Why should that be a mission, at all? Who do you think is more likely to come here, to a baseball blog, on the internet?
A grandparent who is going to mortally offended by seeing the words “shit” or “damn”, you know cuz it’s the internet and that’d be totally unexpected and unprecedented, or someone who might appreciate more a community that isn’t forced into “g-rated mode.”
I don’t want to sound like I’m encouraging being profane or obscene, but the community members and the way the community interacts is one of the best things about coming here. Obviously, if somebody goes well over the line, we need to reign them in, but I don’t think we should be actively trying to censor for the sake of making it acceptable for “grandparents.”

I much prefer this atmosphere to the one of constantly defensive posters, veiled hostility, and the open warfare of words we’ve seen all too recently.
this is a good change of pace
maybe we can find something right down the middle (?)

point taken
Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I’m an agent of chaos. Oh, and you know the thing about chaos? It’s fair!
-The Joker, The Dark Knight (2008)
I think our job is to keep the chaos under some type of control, and have most of the general talk be about the Yankees or baseball.
A blanket cursing ban or just getting too happy with the censorship is just something I can never get behind. This blog is probably 25% writing and 75% community. You guys make the community by being yourselves.

The main point of our censorship
is to make sure there are no personal attacks
Outside of that we try to keep the rest controlled but it’s nothing to be banned about

not trying to argue with you, as I see where you're coming from
but
3.) Keep the cursing to a minimum. In fact, we would prefer none at all. Excessive cursing will draw a warning.
It’s in the community guidelines. Why is it compared to being a dictatorship if you enforce a rule that everyone agrees to by joining the blog?
It’s more like becoming a citizen of the United States and then turning around and not obeying any laws and then being upset if you get arrested. You agreed to obey the rules at the risk of the punishment.
prefer is a key word
not like we can literally wash someones mouth out with soap

I think there is a gaping chasm between “excessive cursing will draw a warning” and getting a “watch your language” after every minor usage.
And also, if it’s buried 600 posts deep in a game thread, which is essentially glorified hanging out and watching the game, that’s entirely different than posting a ton of F-Bombs on the front page.
The spirit of the law, and not the letter of it, is “don’t knowingly offend people,” not “talk like you’re at Bible camp.”

The curse words don’t bother me personally. What I meant was that one never knows who is reading the comments/posts and that alone may run off one or more potential contributors. To us, they’re just words, to some they’re offensive.
The amount that we’ll lose over minor cursing is far less than the amount that we’ll lose if people aren’t allowed enough rope to feel comfortable speaking their mind.

a bit of a stretch
to compare a baseball blog site for discussion of a team and it’s players (and baseball in general) to choosing between a dictatorship vs. the liberty provided by democracy.
I think it’s fair to say that if this site has community guidelines but doesn’t enforce them, the chaos can make the liberty of free speech on this site worth less than it would be if it were moderated and the guidelines enforced fairly.
But we're adults here for the most part.
Being treated as such will gain more respect for the mods than having rules for the sake of rules.
by WhatwouldJeterdo on Jul 17, 2010 12:36 AM EDT up reply actions
I agree
but acting like civil human beings also earns the respect of each other as well as the mods and makes the site look better and more inviting to other fans.
Age really isn’t a factor. Maturity might be. So, I guess the philosphy is: act like an adult, be treated like an adult; act like a child, be treated like a child.
I don't really think swearing about something happening during a baseball game is not acting adult.
The internet is a very scary place if someone is horribly offended by the the F word.

Well, it’s just a general philosophy of why I prefer less authoritative action to more. My main rule is “be civil.”
As long as what you say doesn’t ruin someone else’s experience, say whatever you like, and we’ll let you know if you get too far from the path.

Understood
and it’s also understood that PSA is very slow to ban people because they want to encourage the free flow of ideas and different opinions.
I basically won’t warn anyone unless people complain, either by flagging the comment or by emailing me about it.
The only people I ban are the gratuitously aggressive.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
my last post on the topic
I have never been attacked, cursed at, mocked, or humiliated in any way on this site. I enjoy coming here, reading everyone’s opinions (almost everyone’s) and enjoy the community that has been built up by the metaphorical opening of arms and making newer members more comfortable to share their thoughts.
I have been offended by some posts, often by the same persons, in either some manner being inflammatory, derogatory, or, for lack of a better word, intellectually painful (if that makes any sense).
I guess I pride myself on being a positive, coherent, thoughtful, and pleasant member of this community. I try to make meaningful posts that contribute to the discussion or at least an attempt at G-rated or PG-rated humor. And appreciate all those who are similar to me and especially appreciate the moderators/staff writers for their posts and their involvement with the other members of the site (participating in discussions). I look forward to coming here every day, except after losses, which is when the chaos erupts and overflows.
I suppose I feel it’s my duty to stand up for those who are not treated well, even abusively, and stand against those who seek to poison the well of positive energy and good faith inherent in many fans here.
What we're aiming for is the exact middle of the two extremes
The extreme craziness and extreme nice craziness. Can we get the extreme middle?

i don't know
he just exudes negativity no matter what the game situation is like. read the overflow thread and see his reactions even in the midst of a rally.
I knew it from get
Tried to give him a chance too. Seemed like once everyone told him his blog wasnt great he turned into himself.
yeah, i know
that’s why I attempt to tell people not to respond to him. And I don’t ever respond to him, no matter how strong my urge to do so is. I just let it go because he doesn’t discuss. He won’t consider any ideas but his own.
didn't he say he got a warning
about his comments to the ladies among other things, before he went into lurker-mode?
Dude didn’t even lurk that long. I don’t think he was gone a full AB.

Lotsa stuff to like about this game:
- Beautiful video tribute before the game. I loved it, very well put together. Was Hank or Hal at the game though? I didn’t see either of them (though I haven’t seen Hank in quite awhile)
- Swisher had a great game, showing no ill effects of the HR Derby- had a homer for himself plus the game-winning hit!
- D-Rob struck out the side in the 8th inning and looked filthy. A terrific 2nd half would be so outstanding and a great aid to the bullpen.
- Rivera great per usual, but even better to see since we know he skipped the ASG to recover
It was a bit disappointing to see Jeter’s slump continue, 0-5 isn’t a good day. But I’m sure he’ll go 0 for the season if it means a Yankee win every day. Great game.

Love your pic
Is that Mattingly’s last game or when he got his 2000th hit? They both were in Minnesota, right?
thanks
to be honest, I’m not sure what game the pic is from. I just searched google for images of Mattingly and got this one.
Im pretty sure that pic is from his last game
I have the real pic like that autographed by Donnie, and it says last game
It's Seattle
It’s his last game, I’m 95% sure. I think I have that picture in a frame in my room. He was my dad’s favorite player after Thurman died.
Did you know Joe Morgan thinks Cano will win a batting title one day?
good to know
I only have an autographed ball that was a Christmas gift for me from my brother. Would love to get his auto in person. Maybe I can get to a Mets/Dodgers game sometime either this season or next (if he’s still with them next season).
He'll always be my favorite
I’ve collected so much Mattingly crap over the years, from every single card, to bats, uniforms, games, etc that I’ve got a room almost totally dedicated to Mattingly memorabilia. It’s my “Yankee Room”. It drives my wife nuts.
I got lucky to meet him
Donnie is the reason I am a baseball fan. Wish everybody here couldve seen him in his prime.
I met him in ST in '95
Got to a game extremely early and made my way to the railing between the dugout and backstop while he was waiting to take some BP. Long story short, got his attention and he actually came over and chatted for about ten minutes. Talked about baseball, the upcoming season, family. It was really cool.
I did
and he was literally my baseball idol when I played. I was primarily a 1B (even though I’m right handed) and Mattingly was the guy I’d always watch and mimic and emulate.
Great memories watching him.
Would like to have a collection like you mentioned, but I have neither the money or the space right now to begin it. I have a signed baseball and his baseball cards. Could probably work on more baseball cards, but I’d like other stuff too.
I even have a Yankee shirt with his name and number on it. That and my Jeter shirt are my two favorite to wear. I’d like to get a Swisher and Granderson shirt to add to my collection as well.
lol, not even
just one of those blue t-shirts. I have Mattingly, Mantle, DiMaggio, Jeter, Posada, A-Rod.
Yeah the BP t-shirt
Over the years, I’ve had:
Jeter, Giambi, Matsui, DiMaggio, Melky, Joba, Cano (#22 & #24), and Teixeira.
Did you know Joe Morgan thinks Cano will win a batting title one day?
You know who I feel bad for?
The people who got suckered into buying an “Igawa #29” BP t-shirt.
Did you know Joe Morgan thinks Cano will win a batting title one day?
lol true
honestly, I’d buy all the current starting lineup’s shirts if I had the money:
A new Jeter shirt
Swisher
Granderson
Cano
Teixiera
A-Rod
Gardner
Posada
Pettitte
Vazquez
AJ
CC
Hughes
Joba
Mo
DRob
Park
Cervelli (of course)
Don’t know if they have them all (and I’m leaving off the bench players).
lol
nope, no bench players.
To be fair, since I’m close to the Nats, I wouldn’t be totally averse to buying a Strasburg memorabilia shirt (signed).
What’s your thought on wearing shirts of other players not on your favorite team but that you are a big fan of? For example, I will be attending more Orioles and Nats games now, and they mostly won’t be playing the Yankees when I’ll be able to attend. Would it be sacrilegious for me to buy and wear a Markakis shirt if I’m a fan of his, or a Zimmerman shirt if I’m a fan of his and only wear them when I attend those teams’ games (as long as they aren’t playing the Yankees)?

He can be tough on newbies but once you are accepted, he is one of the better guys here. Some just arent tough enough to deal with him and I guess thats why he got the warning. I hope it doesnt push him away, he is one of the better posters here, intelligent and funny.

I dont think I ever pushed Ed's buttons
I have been warned I belive twice and the second one I guess it wasnt really a warning but I was asked to do something. I have been warned a bunch of times at Gang Green Nation though. You think Sox and Angels fans are bad, Dolphins fans are the absolute worst.
The only thing I saw
were the “pie” comments to BBS. Ed warned him openly then. BBS is getting us in trouble! I got warned because I told her her comments are pointless.
Really? I can see why the pie comment might be offensive
But the “pointless” thing is a bit over doing it. Thats your opinion and it isnt offensive.
It's on the
“Breaking Down Home Field Advantage” post. You can read it for yourself. To get a warning for that back and forth is silly
Did you read what I told you?
There was no other way to contact you outside of a warning. Don’t be oversensitive

Before I log off, just wanted to see if you could suggest a topic I could write a fanpost about. I’m trying to hone my writing and research skills and am looking for topics that either haven’t been done on this site yet and also aren’t ones that the staff writers are likely to do.
Brandon gave me “analyzing the last decades worth of pennant races and finding the determining factor if the winning team” to be followed by “analyze the last decade’s worth of playoffs and find the determining factors.”
I was wondering if you had any suggestions and/or if I could get feedback from you on what I write?
whatever you want

You can of course get feedback from me (and probably the rest of the staff, too). Feel free to email me, as I do enjoy talking about this type of stuff.
Per your request for suggestions, there’s a few things I’ve been thinking about that maybe you’ll find interesting:
I’ve been wanting to do a post or two on the Yankees farm system. Not just the top, most well known prospects, but take a look at each level, or maybe just at some interesting players.
Also, I’ve wanted to take a look at some of the more “two sided” pitchers in the bullpen. Meaning, what are the things that Joba or CHOP or whoever does that separates their good appearances from their bad appearances?
If either of those sound interesting to you, I’d invite you to run with it.
