Russell is out again. If Cervelli throws another ball into CF I am getting on a plane…
1-2-3 first for AJ…
JETER TIME!!!
2994 IH!!!!!! 6 MORE!!!!
Leadoff single…
Curtis singles…
After reading the other thread, I’m rooting for Jeter to get a bunch of hits so IH might get to see 3,000. That would be pretty sweet.
Tex walks…bases loaded…ARod…
0 outs.
Bring the thunder.
you are a good dude ath.
Most of the time. ;)
Weak pop out but Jeter could have tested him…didn’t…
If he went he would have scored, dude wasn’t even going to throw it home…christ.
Man Cano is trying to hit into a DP…keeps rolling it over but foul…
He needs to get a hit because rally killer Swisher is up next!!!!!
Robbie K’s on a bullshit pitch…
Bases loaded. No outs = no runs.
The pathetic Yankees are back.
NO CHANCE Swisher ACTUALLY comes through here…
0-1
1-1
SWISHER GROUNDS OUT!!!! WHAT A BIG SURPRISE!!!!!
I HATE YOU SWISHER YOU PIECE OF SHIT!!!!!
Absolutely fucking pathetic.
I cannot wait for the hockey game…
GO CANUCKS GO!!!!!
Solid inning by AJ again…
Leadoff single by Hip Hip…
Gardner walks…1st and 2nd, no outs…Cervelli to bunt? Can we maybe score now???
Nope…0-2. Why does our whole team suck at laying down bunts?
K on 3 pitches. We need a new backup catcher. Trade Cervelli and Swisher for a bucket of balls and some pine tar…
JETER UP!!!!
3-0 strike wasn’t even close…another chance to HIT!!!
Groundout…force at 3rd…0-for-5 with RISP so far tonight…
2 outs.
Up to Curtis…
2 innings.
5 men LOB.
0-for-6 with RISP.
Impressive.
Couple more K’s for AJ…another scoreless inning…bottom of the 3rd coming up…
Tex walks again…
ARod to the warning track…long out.
Cano singles…1st and 2nd, 1 out…
Swisher up to hit into a DP and kill another inning.
Called it.
0-for-7 with RISP.
7 men LOB.
3 innings.
Fucking get rid of Swisher. Now.
How havent the yankees scored yet, any way its late here im off to bed, Krueg calm down a little, oh dear swisher should have caught that, thats not going to be good for your blood preasure
Swisher fucking us in the field too!!! First against Boston, single-handedly blowing CC’s start and now an ill-advised dive from his slow ass leads to a triple, RBI single follows…
0-1.
Thanks polf…I’ll try but can’t make you any promises. :)
AJ limits Swisher’s damage with another big K…
0-1. Maybe score some runs at some point boys? Maybe?
I would like to watch the hockey game. End them.
GO CANUCKS GO!!!!
Just got done with work in time to see a 123 inning. Yay.
Well, no one LOB and no failures with RISP when no one even hits the ball…
0-1 after 4. Atrocious.
We’re back to completely sucking AG…
AJ’s pitching well though…about a week too late.
0-2 in the hockey game…lame.
Nice top of the fifth…
5 scoreless innings for AJ…
JETER COMING UP!!!!
What a surprise…the cheap-ass Bruins took our Mason Raymond.
Jeter pops out on 1 pitch.
This game is over.
Jeter is limping?
3 pitches, 2 outs…we are fucking embarrassing.
Jeter might be hurt. Limped off the field.
And what happened for that other run? Did Swisher blow a read?
Yup.
0-3 in the game now. Vancouver in 7.
Meant “run”, not “other run”..
Yankees go down without a whimper which is our MO this season…
Fuck.
This.
Team.
Carrasco is making the Yankees look foolish right now.
He dove for a ball he had no business diving for…it got past him to the wall, triple…
Guess I have to turn on the volume to find out what is happening.
Jeter out of the game.
Injured.
Season over.
Don’t bother AG…just start watching the Sounders or something.
We are finished.
Swisher single-handedly loses us another game. Horrific hitting and putrid defense.
Mark Teixeira, you are very very good.
Great play by Tex to save Swisher from having to field a ball…whew…
AJ is keeping us in it.
ARod flails away like a 12 year old that just discovered his first erection…K.
Cano singles…
Rally killer TRIES to hit into a DP…thankfully only got his asshole self out…
Out.
We are terrible.
(stupid for me to say this because someone will hit a dinger) AJ is looking really darn good.
Sore calf for Jeter is the word.
Strike out, wild pitch makes it first and second.
New low…K…Cervelli can’t handle it…goes to the backstop…guy on 1st with 2 outs…
No damage though.
Stretch time.
Bunt foul for strike three. Great.
Cervelli has no chance. Ks.
Hell of a play by Hannahan to get Nunez. Wow.
This is beyond ridiculous…this idiot pitcher threw like 50 pitches in the first 2 innings…we choke with MOB…failure.
Darkness.
Emptiness.
Depression.
0-4 in the hockey game too…
Miller >>>>>> Thomas >>>>>>> Luongo
Just watched the replay of Hannahan’s bare-handed grab and throw.. that’s one of the prettiest plays I’ve seen in a long time.
How many shutouts for our mighty offense this year???
4. This will be 5.
Leadoff single for the Tribe…
Yeah, it was pretty sweet…for a racist mascot having team.
AJ is keeping us alive…it feels weird to even say that.
Sizemore got completely frozen by that curve.
AJ looks good…about a week too late as I said earlier.
That was a fine performance by AJ.
Girardi pulls him after AJ walks Brantley. Two outs, runners on 1st and 2nd to David Robertson.
Solid start for AJ…Swisher screwed him.
Robertson start Asdrubal Cabrera with two breaking pitches for balls. Now a strike.
Robertson got the job done.
I would beg for runs but what’s the point…
The 2-1 is fouled off. 2-2: grounder to Teixeira to end the inning. Nice. Let’s get two runs and put this game in Mo’s hands.
No more Carasco. Good. Sipp on to face Granderson in the bottom of the eighth.
1 out.
Loud, long, ineffective out for Tex. Yawn.
2 outs.
Teixeira with a long out. Not quite enough. Sipp out. Pestano in. Cmon, ARod.
QUICKLY down 0-2…nice ARod…you against FB’s right down the middle?
3-2 now…swing over a breaking ball now?
Walk.
Cano.
ARod takes six pitches in a row for a walk, but Robi lines out to third. Oh well.
1 pitch. out.
Game.
Set.
Match.
Blew and opportunity to game 0.5 game on the Sox. Tampa will probably win too. We should be in 3rd place in no time.
Jeter probably to the DL. Time to be sellers and get younger. Ha. Never happen.
Swisher, Posada and Cervelli.
If we pinch hit for Swisher and Cervelli, maybe…but not likely. Only champions walk people off 15 times in a season. This team is far from it.
Wow, expected a high scoring game. According to a quick search on Baseball-reference, this is the third time this season Burnett has gone 7+ and given up 1 run or less. In both other games the Yankees lost (he took the loss in one).
Here we go…
Hard to score runs ath when your offense is a fucking joke…
Good relief by Robertson.
HR or nothing offense = wild card and first round exit
Swisher grows moss.
Swisher stands at the plate with his bat on his shoulder like a fucking loser…4 pitch K.
I cannot stand seeing him in the pinstripes. He is completely and totally worthless as a player. Nice guy, but FUCK HIM…he HAS TO GO!!!!
Posada is also a statue.
Posada K’s.
You fucking idiots may want to swing the bat. Another K looking..for what I’m not sure.
Gardner for the tie???
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
Not.
5th shutout of the season. Cannot score 1 FUCKING RUN???? AT HOME??? AGAINST THE FUCKING INDIANS???
We aren’t even going to make the fucking playoffs.
Gardner tip K. Ball game.
At least the three pitches Gardner swung at were strikes.
errrmm.. the two pitches. Anyway, what a waste of a good outing by AJ.
Sorry to see Jeter get hurt. That sucks, right on the brink of 3000.
what a bummer wasting a good pitching effort…we just can’t seem to get it together…though taking 3 of 4 is still good…i’ll ask it again, is it too early to start whining about injuries?…i know it doesn’t help, and we just have to keep moving forward and hope the replacements plug the leaks or even do better than that…injuries are never good, but maybe some good can come out of it, like we finally get a prolonged look at some younger yankees…maybe future stars…[fingers crossed]
Injuries did not make our offense strand 7 runners in the first 3 innings or go 0-for-7 with RISP either…
That’s sorry-ass Swishers fault. Blame him. For everything.
Not to mention all of the “stars” had AB’s in the first 3 innings.
We just suck this year dude. Injuries or not.
sad, but true buddy…we can’t blame injuries because exactly as you say, the uninjured regulars are underperforming in epic ways…even some of the guys we lost were not exactly at the top of their game when they went down…soriano, martin, hughes, sanit, curtis…i’d even throw jeter in with that bunch, since he has not been contributing at the level we’d all hoped…if the chase for 3000 were not such a positive distraction, i suspect you’d hear even more about his position in the lineup and his defense…heck a couple of the guys on the DL never even got into a game in ’11: marte, feliciano…losing colon and joba probably hurt the most since they were actually contributing…
Can’t win every year man…just historically more than any other franchise. We had a nice run, time for some serious changes…
First off? GET RID OF NICK SWISHER!!!!
