Yeah no shit. It was a great one, and aside from the loss. It's exactley the game I was hoping for.

Beckett pitched fucking great. Burnett pitched fucking great. All the relievers were top notch. Great game.

A few observations.

1. Pedroia, fuck you! You had the game won. All you needed was just a hit with two on, one of which is the fast Jacoby. Do you try move the runners? Nope. That at bat, like the one before it you swung for the fences. Why? Your not a fucking power-hitter. How many HRs do you have this season? Three? Quit trying to be a hero and do your fucking job.

2. Is there a more dislikeable motherfucker than Arod to win the game? Now we have a "MFY Classic" with his ugly ass. Great.

3. Tazawa looked like something special. Tough loss for the kid, but damn he looked good.

4. Aceves was money tonite. What the fuck? Aceves? This team is in trouble.

5. Isn't it great how every "win the game" situation Jeter came up in, he didn't get it done. The YES broadcasters were saying "how many times has he gotten this done before?" when he was in the batter's box. Not many. Captain Clutch my ass. I hate Micheal Kay and Orsillo.

6. If there is not a fight tommorrow. The season is fucked. They shoulda kicked Joba the fat's head in for Thursday. Nothing. I want a brawl. Something needs to fire these fuckers up.

Anybody check out the pictures of Josh Hamilton getting his crunk on back in January? Go over to deadspin.com. Yeesh.


Oh yeah, and great game lst night. My old ass made it to the 14th inning before passing out, and of course it ends in the 15th. I also laughed about how Michael Kay was riding Jeter's nutsack every time he came up in extra innings. Give it a break, this ain't 2002 anymore.

Sucks... feel bad for his wife and kids as I'm sure people are gonna have a field day with this and him. I give his wife two months after he signs his next contract before she leaves and takes half.

My god.

How much is Steinbrenner paying Jim Joyce?

Lemme get this straight. Their fat fucking pitcher throws at Pedroia twice..during a blowout and nothing happens? Ramirez throws at Arod with two on, down by two.....and he's ejected? This is right after the non-strikeout call to Ortiz.

How much you wanna bet that Yankee Bob suspends Ramirez five for throwing at his Yankees?


Oh well maybe Lowell's old ass will have a stroke and we won't have to deal with that last year on his contract.

Gotta love Kill's passion for the game...Yankees riding high now, but we all know how fast things can change in baseball. With Hughes shoring up the pen, not too many weakspots for the Yankees right now. Something out of a 5th starter would be nice but that role won't be needed too much down the road anyway, especially with the rosters and thus the bullpens expanding soon.

Girardi is fairly terrible but I think the talent is too good for him to screw up, at least in the regular season.

On Ortiz, the thing to me is why he didn't say that 2 weeks ago. If I knew I didn't do anything wrong I wouldn't need to gather information. A shame really. I love the rivalry and each of these things on each side taint what's happened a bit for me.

Ya know, in my happy little world Ortiz took like a cold-medicine that set off the screening process. That's all it was.

I highly doubt that though. Unfortunatley I think now he was juicing.

McGwire, Sosa and Bonds all say they didn't take roids either. Do you believe them?

Good to have ya back, Sheepmafia.

Here is my issue with Francona:

His team is in an 8-13 slump since coming out of the All-Star break. This is the point of a slump that calls for a manager to freak out and go absolutely apeshit on his team to shake things up. And he just stays calm and keeps spewing the same cliches about having good at-bats and making the right pitches.

Just once he needs to go off on the team, call some of the players out in public, or at the very least flip out on an umpire over a bad call such as when Ramirez got ejected without a warning and get tossed. Kick dirt at the ump, bump him, throw home plate into the outfield, just do something. If you want to get a team to play with passion the manager has to show some once in a while too.

I see what you mean, but that's not his style.

I would take issue with it, but there's 2004......2007. So is it really neccessary? I'm under the impression that they've already given up on the season. Epstein's actions at the trade deadline for example.

If he calls anyone out in public, it better be Pedroia.

Francona going off on the team wouldn't do a bit of good. He doesn't manage like that. It would be like Joe Torre blowing up. Or Bobby Cox or Ozzie Guillen...errr uhhh scratch those last two. Anyways, he doesn't need to scream and yell at this team. They know what they need to do. They are battle tested and yelling would be stupid. Hell, it doesn't matter if they win the division or not. Just get in the playoffs.

If you woulda told me in April that they would be in the Playoff hunt, with Ortiz hitting .714OPS in 370 at bats. I woulda laughed in your face.

Something needs to be done, but what? I'm hoping there's a brawl. Like in 2004, something to fire them up.

No way they gave up on the team when they were only a game out and leading the wildcard race with a $122M payroll at the trading deadline. And they did land Martinez to help spell Tek behind the plate and add another good bat to the lineup. I think trotting out an obviously finished Smoltz every 5th day hurt morale, but they are still talented enough and deep enough to be a contender.

Beckett and Lester are an excellent 1-2 combo, and between Buccholtz, Penny, Wakefield & Dice-K they ought to be able to put together a good rotation when everyone is healthy. Bring up Bowden for now and see what he's got. The bullpen is as good as any in the league so pitching really isn't an issue.

I just think they are playing dumb baseball and getting nothing out of too many hitters right now. They are flat. Something needs to fire them up. That's the manager's job. With Francona being so calm most of the time it would really have an impact if he lost it. I'd like to see him go to the podium after the next loss and say something to the effect of "We're trying, but we aren't playing good ball right now. When your midget 2nd baseman insists on playing homerun derby at every at-bat, your right fielder takes himself out of the lineup every other day with a hang nail, and your #3 starter is more interested in chasing playmates than working on his pitches, what the fuck can a manager do? Just show a little fire.

I agree. I'd be all for Lester putting one in A-Rod's ear hole.

[killeverything]

Look I don't know what to say.

Boston massacre part II happened. I don't care how good your pitching is, Boston has some of the best.....without hits. You lose 15 inning games. All the pitcher's pitched great. Like for example. If you woulda told me Buchholz was going to pitch 8 innings 2ER ball, I woulda been estatic.

It's the Pedro curse. How many times did he shut down the MFY, and come up with a loss, because he had no run-support? The pitcher's were great. The offense sucks. I realize they were banking on Teix, but you're getting into a bidding war with the MFY. You're not going to win that.

That spent half a billion without even blinking.

That said. It's almost like FO set it up to fail. A lot of "this COULD workout", unfortunatley they didn't. Look I Iove Lowell, even though I thought his 4y contract was bullshit.

Theo took a risk that would either A). Make him look like a genius. Or B). Be what we're seeing now.

The team still has some of the best pitching in baseball, but that doesn't matter if you go Little Leaguers at the plate trying to score runs.

Oh well. What makes me feel better if is the MFY win the Division.They have to play Anaheim......good luck with that.

WRONG. If the Yankees end up with the best record in the AL they would play the weakest of the 3 teams. Since they can't play the Red Sox in the first round, they would end up playing the Central winner. I expect the Angels will finish with the 2nd best record. Looks like the Red Sox (if they even make the playoffs) will have to play the Angels in the 1st round. I know you guys have owned them in the past but I think they are due. Yankees will have no problem demolishing Detroit or whoever they play in round 1.

They will still have to face Anaheim. If this is the year, do you really think this is the year they beat Scossicia?

Look I'm not trying to be a hater, that billion dollar team is playing as their supposed to. Props, money well spent. The Angels still fucking own them.

I'm looking forward to it. Because nothing would be more satisfying than them missing the WS, after fucking the fans with a new stadium.

They still can't beat them. It's kinda funny. Boston would get Anaheim in the first round ( as always ), this team I don't have too much faith in. So the Angels could probably beat them.

The same can't be said for NY.

What's up baseball fanatics-
Look who's here,

Dustin Pedroia was asked what the red sox need to do to turn it around. They have lost six straight and 14 of 21.

“I don’t know. I’m not a magic person. I just play second base,” he said.



Terrific weekend series by the Yankees over the sox. We beat them
every way possible.
The red sox nation has to be hurting right now about. Add the ortiz situation and it's a mess in new england.

I have said this many teams, when these 2 heavyweights meet, there is bound to be "an instant classic" game played within a 2,3 or 4 game series.
Once again baseball fans were treated to an instant classic.
A-Rod showed up in the 15th with a bomb of the rook.
Then he goes and hits another bomb in the 7th last nite, to give the team a lead(for a short time).

Kill could be correct-we might have the curse of pedro happening before our eyes. The sox could have won 2 games with there terrific pitching, but the bats were silent, barely scratching out hits against all the Yankees hurlers.

lowell looks old, ortiz has been looking old, drew is not producing, varitek has not been either, they get nothing from the ss position, except for several singles here and there.


LET'S GO YANKEES!!!!

That sucked, but looking through rose colored glasses.

The team is pretty good. If they get going again, they'll be competitive. Drew brought his avg. up to .250 and a 820OPS. If Lowell and Ortiz heat up?

There are a lot of what ifs. I'm just not writing off the season on August 10th. There's been some pitching problems with Daisuke and Wakefield going down. It was a pretty dominant staff with Buchh and Penny rounding out your #5. Now their the 3, 4 and 5.

If the Mighty Red Sox win the WC. That pitching staff and BP would be dangerous in a short series.

All hope is not gone yet.

2006 it's not.

So, Vladdy hits HR #400 last night - the game winner, no less - and Gammo (who I've lost most of my respect for) says he doesn't think Vlad "will play long enough to reach the HOF." OK, a friend of mine summed it up in comparison better than I can:

"So Peter Gammons doesn't think Vladimir Guerrero will play long enough to get in the Hall of Fame. If his beloved Jim Rice is a HOF, so is Vladimir Guerrero. Vlad .322ba .387ob .570 slg .958 OPS 400 HR 1293 RBI 2197 hits 1 MVP 14 seasons Rice .298 ba .352 ob .502 slg .854 OPS (in Fenway for half his career games mind you) 382 hr 1451 RBI 2452 hits 1 MVP 16 seasons Peter Gammons is a pair of clown shoes."

Just like Rice, Vlad was for the better part of a decade, one of the most feared hitters in MLB. Time to step away from the computer, Gammo.

Vlad is a definite HOF'er - and he should go in as an Expo!

Speaking of the dearly departed Expos, at least they always got great prospects for the players they had to let go. I can't believe the Blue Jays just gave away Alex Rios. Yeah, it's a heavy contract, but 5 years isn't so bad and you can budget around it. I'm convinced JP Riccardi is the worst GM in baseball. Coming soon: Roy Halladay is lost for nothing as well.

Gammons is currently suffering from the ortiz scandal and the 4 game sweep at the hands of the Yankees.
He can not be counted on to offer objective feedback on MLB for at least another day or two.

What the fuck is that guy smoking?
Of course he is a sure-fire HOF. Is he kidding???
If he can enter the hall with an expos cap, even better.

Yeah, but they still made this trade: Cliff Lee, Brandon Phillips, Grady Sizemore, and Lee Stevens to Cleveland for Bartolo Colon! Good god, I bet the GM who made that trade never got another job in baseball. At least not as a GM. I mean what team would be so stupid?


Oh nevermind...

[Facedown]

I was thinking about that deal the other day. To be honest, Minaya was MLB's stooge in Montreal and did all kinds of things to put the final nails in the team's coffin. I tend to remember a fucked up deal in which they reacquired Cliff Floyd for a short time as well.

It was nice to see a little skirmish but rolling around the grass with the Tigers isn't like a good fist fight with the Yankees. We really need another Pedro tossing Zim on his ass moment.

No not that.

Arod starting in on Arroyo, Tek safely ( or scaredly however you wanna look at it ) keeping his helmet on with a glove to the face... benches clear and it's a straight up brawl.

Something like that. Joba's fat ass trying to make a mark. So I think it will happen soon.

The problem with Youks' fight today is why? What did it accomplish? Since you threw your helmet, they ( by "they" I mean Yankee Bob ) will add on more days to your suspension. Which means you won't be in the line-up. Which means that Lowell will be playing 3rd. Which means Varitek will be catching more, which means he'll be hitting ( or trying to ) against LHP. The whole thing is completely ass-backwards to me.

If they want to fight. Fight NY. Since Joba, there seems to be bad blood brewing again. If you get suspended make it worthwhile, make your enemies get suspended too.

They won again tonite, and I wasn't prepared to write them off earlier. This was stupid though.

Oh yeah, Tazawa gave up 3ER in 4 and struck out 6. Which is better than what Smoltz would of done. I think he might become something special. Also Daisuke threw 40 pitches and reported no discomfort or weakness in the shoulder. It's also been reported that Wakefield is still alive.

[tin00can]

[killeverything]

At least he wasn't wearing a catcher's mask.

Wait.

Let's go Mighty Red Sox!

[tin00can]

Youk's DQ (Douche Quotient) just went up tenfold after that "fight" where he charged the mound, threw his helmet at the pitcher, and then got taken down...by the pitcher. Well done, Youk. Now go buy a dress.

[JakeYonkel]

That guy is a whiny douche. The best part is that Porcello is like what, 20 years old?

[tin00can]

That guy is a whiny douche. The best part is that Porcello is like what, 20 years old?

I saw a postgame interview with Youk where he said (paraphrasing) "when the pitcher is throwing at your guys you have to go out there and do something." So I guess "doing something" is getting your ass owned on the mound.

Yeah, I'm enjoying this more than I should be.
