Yikes, when was the last time the Yankees put out their “A” lineup? Not since the 15-inning marathon, I think. And yet they’ve won all but one game since then. Even more impressive when you consider that.
Scrub squad starting the game today…lame.
Leadoff single for Jeter…ties all-time mark for most hits by a SS EVER! How anyone can ever say that he is overrated is just pure haterness…period.
Not sure what ARod was doing in that AB…kinda stood there and watched a bunch of pitches???
Efficient first inning from Joba.
Nice 1-2-3 1st for Joba…
Well, this no-name rookie douche is mowing us down.
Joba looking good…1-2-3 2nd.
Joba hitting 94, 95 early on. Good to see.
“…Leadoff single for Jeter…ties all-time mark for most hits by a SS EVER! How anyone can ever say that he is overrated is just pure haterness…period. …”
yup
Sick bunt by Pena…love the kid.
CAPTAIN CLUTCH WITH THE RBI DOUBLE!!!! 1-0!!!
MOST HITS IN THE HISTORY OF MLB BY A SS!!!! JETER IS GOD!!!
Where does Jeter rank in terms of all-time shortstops?
Wagner
A-Rod
Jeter?
Jeter is the best ALL-AROUND SS ever…The Wizard is probably the best defensively, Jeter offensively.
So, in closing…Jeter is the best SS in history.
GREAT GRAB BY AROD! 1 more out boys…
Remember that A-Rod was a great offensive and defensive shortstop before his move to third.
It’s crazy to think that we’re seeing two of the best 3 shortstops of all time on the same side of the diamond.
Joba walks the bases loaded…not good. Not cool either.
2 run double…1-2. 2nd and 3rd. F-ck.
Joba looks awesome in the first two innings and then melts down…LIMIT THE DAMAGE!!!
1-2 count…can he put away Griffey???
YES HE CAN! K! Alright…limited the damage. Time for the bats to go to work, Scrub Squad Style!!!
SWISH TO DEAD CENTER!!! 3-2 GOOD GUYS!!!
Hinskie with a single…1st and 1 out.
8 games up in the East now…
Joba is getting rocked. About to blow the lead as he gives up ANOTHER DOUBLE…2nd and 3rd, 1 out. F-CKING COME ON JOBA!!!
Nice play by Swish…saves a run. 2 outs. Almost doubles up the runner at 2nd. ONE MORE JOBA!!!
How could Jeter miss the tag there? The ball beat the runner.
Joba gets the fly out to CF…whew. Wiggled out of trouble…
Joba having another tough inning…might not be our day today with Joba’s meltdown nearly complete…f-ck.
Got Griffey again…ONE MORE JOBA!!!!
There it is…0-2 count, FB right down the middle, RBI single…3-3. Joba blows the lead finally. Jerry bobbled the ball in CF too so there was no throw…may have been close. F-ck. About the completely blow the lead…1st and 3rd now.
3-4. F-ck you Joba you piece of garbage. Get his sorry-ass out of the game now Joe.
Got a grounder…need some offense again.
Blech, a Buchholzian start from Joba today.
No offense at all.
Yanks just don’t have it today. Pity it had to come against as bad a team as Seattle. But then again, they get an even worse team up next.
It’s over…f-ck it. Won 3 out of 4, can’t ask for more!!! Start another streak tomorrow in the Bay Area!
Now it’s really over…i’m out.
It’s nice not having to be at all mad/disappointed/frustrated after a bad loss like this.
I’m certainly disappointed – by Joba’s outing if nothing else. But I get what you’re saying A-YF – it’s not like the Yanks lost ground today. Need to finish the west coast swing strong against Oakland.
Hey, I’m not A-YF. Just for the record.
Oh yeah – sorry about that Andrew.
