If you get home late, don't let the score fool you- this was tense into the 8th inning.
There are days when I'm happy to turn the game off after the final out, and then there are days when I wish I was a beat reporter and I could go into the clubhouse and ask some questions.
"Jorge, why'd you throw to third when the sure out was at first?"
"Home plate ump Eric Cooper, how'd it feel to blow the call in favor of the Yankees costing the Royals one sure run and prematurely ending the inning?"
"A pleasure to meet you Mr. Cervelli. May I bask for a moment in the glory of your presence?"
"Third base ump Chad Fairchild, how'd it feel to blow the call in favor of the Royals forcing Joba Chamberlain to get 4 outs in the 8th inning?"
"Derek, do you ever get to first base and want to holler 'What slump?' to the press box?"
"Joba, why didn't you have Podsednik hit the ball harder so Jeter could field it cleanly? Same question on Kendall's hit to Arod. Why can't you ever work a clean inning? You putz."
"Alex, you're a smart guy and very aware of the history of the game. How many home runs do you think you'll need to hit to legitimately be considered the homerun king?"
"Brett- great throw in the 5th. Were you born gritty and gutty, or did your GG powers develop as you grew?"
"Marcus. Marcus? You're still on the team?"
"Scott Podsednik, where the hell did you learn to play left field?"
Comment of the Game: Edgware for making me laugh. Revoked for this dumb comment. Instead, it goes to greatscott for the GI Joe reference.
Play of the Game: Posada's double off Chen to drive in Cano making it 4-3 was worth a wopping 14.9%.

"We're only going to score 17 points?" - Tom Brady

I see no sarcasm tag. It’s a tough game, and it humbles us all eventually. All we can do is learn from it and go forward.

But I’m not trying to win COG. And maybe it wasn’t sarcasm, maybe at that precise moment what I said was precisely what I wanted.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
oh well as they all say
Tis better to have won COG and lost than to have not won in the first place

I agree that Hughes will take the 8th unless he hits the wall the way Joba did last season.
But it’s not that time yet. We have to make it at least another month. Maybe until we clinch if we can do that early.

I don’t expect a move.
The bullpen is not a strength right now. As inconsistent as Joba has been, he’s still the best non Hall of Famer in the pen.
I’ll see if I can find where I ran the numbers the other day- when he’s on (gets a K) he’s only allowed a couple runs all season. In the 10ish innings in which he’s allowed most of this ER, he’s had 0K. To me, that screams mechanics that need to be refined, adjusted, practiced.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
I mean
in the offseason, not much trade value now, if he improves this year?

If you say so?
on the blown called stealing, batter swung at 3-2 pitch well out of a strike zone, which would have meant bases loaded, one out.
Infield hits are part of the game, not would be outs, flawed.

7 innings 3 ER, pretty solid
4 runs total but was betrayed by defense on 1 of them
"We're only going to score 17 points?" - Tom Brady
"Well played, Mauer." - Guy from PS3 commercials
well with Allan James Burnett pitching
you’re either getting 7 shutout innings, or booed off the mound in the third by the Yankee Stadium crowd.
Lets hope he controls his emotions, and throws a good game. I think he’ll be dominant tomorrow. He’s facing the Royals, a free swinging team, and his game is getting people to chase his nasty hook, which the Royals will do as much as anybody. I’d expect a good game out of Allan James tomorrow.

has anyone mentioned
Posada’s idiotic mis-plays (not even counting his non-tag at home) or all the blown calls? it’s baffling why the umpires consistently stand in the exact wrong place every time.
big old bud needs to get off his ass and implement replay
"We're only going to score 17 points?" - Tom Brady
"Well played, Mauer." - Guy from PS3 commercials
His defense is becoming borderline ridiculous, but his bat is needed and so far has been able to outweigh his inadequacies behind the plate. Hopefully it won’t hurt us somewhere down the road.
DH Jorge
Are Thames and Miranda that much better than Cervelli with the stick? For the most part he should DH. Yanks need another catcher. Been saying all season the Yanks need to teach Jesus on the job. Not sure how poor his D skills are, but I gotta believe they’re better than Jorge’s. Calling pitches is not rocket science…up and in, low and away, get ahead on the count, etc.
Posada cannot be allowed to catch late innings in close games…a third catcher is needed so Jorge can be pulled for defense.

Jorge has bad games like yesterday
but for the most part it doesn’t really kill the Yanks. They won a Chip just a few months ago despite Jorge being defensively adequate at best.
I’d rather have him catch, and ThamesMiranda DH. The overall defense is fine. The offense is a lot better for it.

tonight was really about mental errors. never make that throw to 3B with the automatic out at first. then on the near overthrow to 1B, he decided to lob it over the runner instead of taking one step to the side and firing it down? that’s just lazy, imo.

i love how he had a no-no going into the 8th but there was a run scored
by Seattle in the 2nd, so if the offense hadn’t woken up in the 3rd and taken a 3-1 lead, he might have had a losing no-no. lol

The Mariners are threatening with the bases loaded after a 2-run HR to bring the score up to 6-4 in the bottom of the ninth.
gotta hand it to the Red Sox bullpen
They’re not afraid to show everyone that they’re worse than the Yankee’s bullpen. LOL

definitely not impressive to anyone at this point
but I think they see the short-term cost of Lee versus the long-term upside of having Smoak develop for a few years under team control as a better trade-off. From what I’ve read on the Rangers blog, the fans there are not happy about the trade, about as unhappy as we’d be if the Yankees had traded Montero in a package for Lee.
yea happy the trade didn't go thru
but from a mariners stand point i would have rather had montero next year than smoak this year and beyond
oh, i agree
I wonder really what the Mariner’s GM was thinking. Hmm…I can get this guy who can catch or play 1B and is projected to be an elite MLB hitter versus this other guy who is pretty good and can play 1B.
LOL
Seriously, I don’t know the thought process of why you would turn down Montero in any package. Most teams would love to take him and an injured guy for a pitcher they know isn’t going to stay after the season is over and is owed a considerable amount the rest of this season.
Dammit, there is no top of the order in the Seattle lineup, it's just another bottom!

it cracks me up
that the Mariners have less wins than the Red Sox have losses and they’re managing to fight to the death here.
Go Mariners!
I’d wanted to be the first to congratulate the punchless Mariners for ruining Lackeys near No-No and making a comeback that will live in the Bozo-sox Hall of Shame for a long while. Too bad they couldn’t score with men on 2nd and 3rd with one out. Milton Bradley (who is not related tio the Parker Bros.), who leads the club with 8 dings fouled out.
Spoke too soon
Oh well, the Mariners at least made it interesting. But what a lineup – I’d rather have Punch & Judy in the 3 and 4 spots…. and, of course, it wasn’t over ’til it was over.
yikes
Im even surprised the Red Sox won!

How about when Posada softly tossed to 1st base and almost overthrew Teixeira on that strike three?
I actually almost cried .. that was the most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen. Teixeira had to sprint to the bag to get the out.

posada
its safe to say that the healthy and defensively productive days are gone when it comes to jorge Thank god he can still hit or this contract would have been a bust. He really needs to be moved out of that role. I would be nervous with him behind the plate in the playoffs. he can still be productive as a DH/1B/C. Rotate him in all 3 postitions giving cervelli and tex a rest in the field.
I don't see Posada playing 1st.. ever.
Nick Swisher used to be a 1st baseman and can still play the position fairly well. If anyone, he’ll be there to give Tex a day off. But yes, DH Posada occassionally.
