Yankees 2, Fightin' Showalters 6

by jscape2000 on Sep 7, 2010 10:09 PM EDT in Game Recap

CC Sabathia loaded the bases before recording an out tonight, and that tells you nearly everything you need to know about the game.

I'm trying to remember a game that seemed so oddly lopsided- everything the Orioles hit was just out of the reach of the Yankees' defense (especially Granderson's error that should have been a hit), while everything that the Yankees hit seemed to take the bounce the Orioles needed. Arod's liner with a runner on third handcuffed the 3B, but the ball bounced to the shortstop and the O's recorded an out without the run scoring. Granderson blooped a single into center that deflected off the SS glove and straight to the CF, who forced out Jorge Posada at second.

At least Lance Berkman looked alive: 3-4 tonight.

CC's home win streak was snapped, the Yanks' home series win streak was snapped, and the Yankees have now followed their longest winning streak of the year with a 3 game losing streak.

Ivan Nova for stopper?

Comment of the Game: The exchange between Melkman and MattF15 summed up the quality of our night and the quality of our broadcast team.

Play of the Game: Reimold's 3rd inning, 2 out homer.

I don't think so.

Go ahead and get Boston officially eliminated from the playoffs. Plus, it’s always fun when they lose.

I was at tonight's game.

Just not in the cards tonight. I don’t know about anyone else, but they REALLY look like a different team with Buck managing them.

...I'm starting to really dislike the Orioles, heh

It’s hard for me to hate teams that are local to where I live…but once they start beating New York we have a problem, lol.

On paper, I didn't expect the Orioles to be an awful team this season

I expected them to honestly finish around .500 and for the Blue Jays to have between 90-95 losses. Showalter is definitely doing something correctly.

Nice to see Hoffman get his 600th

Rivera is the greatest, no doubt, and he’ll likely overtake Hoffman, but this was a great moment.

I'll be honest and say I don't care

He is the definition of washed up and second-tier. Excellent during his prime, but nothing more than a washed up reliever for the past few years. Yes, that makes Papelbon about tenth-tier.
