Quiet here tonight? Go Yanks!
Apparently ARod has the most HRs among active players against the Angels. Not surprising, I guess, since he played for Seattle and Rangers for awhile..
Too bad he does nothing with that pitch..
Cano with a two out triple and the Yanks take a 1-0 lead!!
Cano stranded at third on a Melky strike out on ball 4. Still, 1-0 lead.
Getting pho and curry… Home soon to eat spicy food, drink beer and watch the game. Thanks for the update Lar!
AJ throwing strikes and Angels trying with their patient attack are falling mostly behind in the count..
Jeter had to rush that throw, and made Teixeira stretch that one out again.. no complaints this time though from the Angels..
Here’s Figgins.
1-2 on Figgins and AJ loses him to a walk. Abreu now up with two outs.
Pho and curry sounds good, haha..
AJ paying tons of attention to Figgins, with 3 or 4 straight throwovers..
And first pitch ball to Abreu..
Abreu flying out to CF, with Figgins running. End of 2.5.
JETER goes the other way for a HR, 2-0 Yanks.
Beautiful night at the stadium despite the doomsday predictions.
Jeter THE MAN (again)
Two stretches by Tex. Seriously, we lived with Giambi for that long?
AJ hits Morales on a 1-2 pitch with two outs. Let’s hope Rivera does not make him pay..
Gets out of that one, with Rivera grounding out. End of 3.5, Yanks up 2-0.
Teixeira actually not hitting that well this post season, minus that HR in Minny. That said, his defense might be enough..
Izturis with a lead off double..
Napoli flies out to Melky, one out.
Aybar with a one out single and now it’s a 2-1 game..
Aybar steals second.
AJ now in some funk, as Abreu is up with one out, men on first and second..
Abreu flies out close to foul territory near the wall in left field.. two outs, but here’s the dangerous Hunter..
AJ behind in the count to Hunter 2-0..
Hunter walks.. the 2-2 pitch was close, but yaaa..
Here’s Vlad with bases loaded two outs.. bracing for impact..
AJ has been wild, and with a wild pitch to Vlad, the game is tied..
Vlad grounds out on the next pitch. The wild AJ might cost them a bit..
AJ….. Oof. That was difficult to watch. Get it back.
Melky!
That half inning took half an hour.. or so..
Molina working the count, haha.. I thought Joe might give him the hook..
But now a 3-2 pitch to Molina..
Saunders is forgetting he is pitching to molina.
Molina singles to right and now the Yanks threaten with the top of the lineup up..
Jeter up.. Saunders at 76 pitches..
Jeter with a DP and might kill the rally..
Bad call at first.
2nd time the Yanks have a man on third with two outs.. let’s see if they cash in this time..
And the Yanks did nothing with two lead off hits. Bad hitting might catch up to them..
Jeter was safe. Period. Close play? Yes. Bad call? Yes. Pivotal situation? Yes. Typical of this post-season? Yes.
Tex gets on base from an error, but nothing comes of it.. end of 6, we got a close one, 2-2.
AJ leaves with okay numbers, but his wildness cost him a chance at victory. The Yanks also did not help him out much with their offense..
Coke is up, and we’ll see what he does with Figgins..
Hey Coke, they don’t have to steal if you walk them..
Crazy high leverage situations and Joba strikes Vlad out to preserve the tie. He can scream as much as he wants on that one, holy smokes.
Hunter had a lucky base hit..
Joba iz Joba.
Not sure I agree with pinch-running for Swisher in the 7th. It’s not like they have a good hitter on the bench should his spot come up again.
Yanks with yet another double play to erase lead off hits.. bah.
Very poor showing by the offense tonight.
Saunders got let off the hook tonight, big time.
Also a poor showing by the defense (excepting Teixeira of course), making errors on two routine plays.
Good on Joe to go to Rivera.
They got to score..
Yankee bats have just been put to sleep. A-Rod walkoff leading off the ninth, I’m calling it right here.
1-2-3, and now it’s sudden death time..
Well, Tex leads off the inning, but ya..
Jepsen has nasty stuff. Angels should really have him close instead of Fuentes. I can’t wait for the Yankees to tee off on that guy in the 9th.
doug, Jepsen’s gonna pitch the 9th, too. You can’t use your closer on the road without a lead, you know that.
Mo is so good. I don’t know if I would take the risk and leave him out for another one, but let’s hope we won’t have to answer that question!
Damn, Rivera can easily pitch another inning.
Ace is available, and he’s been key for us, but ya, let’s really hope we don’t have to find out.
The AJ gift run looms huge.
Torii Hunter got taken to school on the kindergarten bus. Just disgusting.
AJ had one of the worst great starts I’ve ever seen. There were only two good swings on him the whole game and then he beat himself with his wildness.
ARod, let’s go home.
If not for that wild pitch, this game would be over by now…
Matsui with a single, and Guzman is pinch running, with Gardner at the plate.
Gardner slaps it to right and Guzman to third with two outs. A hit would win it..
Cano with a chance to win it. Of course, the Angels could return the favor by throwing a wild pitch..
Cano with a tapper and we go to extra innings..
ASD;LKFJADLS;KFJALS;DKFJAL;SDKFJDLS;
Mo staying in. No one questioning this move, really.
Of course no one’s questioning it, he was at 12 pitches.
Rivera said I got it and gets it..
Holy crap A-Rod. The two Yankees no one wants to even come close to colliding.
Andrew ;) Are you calling me Buck for staying the obvious? ;P
Wow, thought that might drop, but good D by the Yanks and Cano and we’ll go to the bottom of the 10th..
Thank god Cano has some seriously good range. Screw UZR.
Melky, Posada, Jeter. Let’s do this.
Okay, technically Rivera could start the 11th, but I don’t think he will. Yankees better win here, because as much as I love Aceves, I don’t see him getting out of this alive.
Darren. Oliver. Let’s destroy this guy and go home.
Whither Brian Fuentes? Here we go in the soft underbelly of the Angels’ pen.
Melky with a lead off single, and Posada, let’s do something, and I don’t mean double play..
You got to be effing me.
Wait, apparently he did not tag second, uh oh. This is going to be a huge call either way..
Well, not uh oh for the Yanks. Now Jeter and Damon with a chance to win it.
He clearly did not touch the base, but the old “neighborhood” play rule applies, maybe.. I’ll take it..
Wow, break for the Yankees here, but that makes up for the Jeter blown call.
They IBB Jeter to face Damon and maybe set up for yet another DP..
You got to win when the baseball gods give you a gift. Let’s drive this thing in..
JD with a pop out, and it’s all up to Tex with two outs..
The Yanks do not take advantage, and we go to the 11th.
Ace now pitching.
Aceves is in, and now it’s raining. It’s like god just threw up his hands and said “well, I tried”.
Walk coming back to haunt them. Story of the game so far: Yanks not effing hitting.
Pandemonium.
*dead*
A-Rod having one of the most unbelievable postseasons ever. Holy shit.
If there’s any time for a “fuck ya”, that was it. I woke up some neighbors, but fuck them for not watching the game.
Cano grounds into the no doubles defense, and we go to the 12th. Let’s hold this, and let’s fucking win this.
Glad I got to see that. The rain made that super slomo shot look amazing
Game not won yet.. middle of the Angels lineup up.
Ace is done. Really? I thought he was the long relief..
This kind of sucks that Robertson is the second-to-last man out of the bullpen. Even Marte is ahead of him. They should have left him off the roster so Girardi wouldn’t be tempted like this. Although I guess it’s good to turn Morales around in this park.
Marte, you got to be kidding me.
You know what, this is the right decision. Morales is terrible right-handed. .312 OBP.
Good play by ARod, strong throw. Two outs, and I guess Robertson will come in.
Jesus, matchup games in extra innings. I guess it worked out, but Robertson better be efficient with his pitches. This game is over if Gaudin comes in.
Ya, for a switch hitter, he’s pretty awful right handed. The result was good, so I’ll save the dogs for later.. ;)
Jeff Mathis? Really?
Double. Get it together.
Good K. Melky, Posada, Jeter trying to win it again.
A couple of nasty hooks from Robertson.
Please, please, please end it here.
Bases loaded for ARod, two outs. Wow.
ARod could not come through that time. 13. I think Gaudin is coming in..
neverending playoff game….
It’s Robertson, but Guzman/Gardner/Melky are coming up next inning. If Robertson can hold them here, Gaudin will be pitching the top of the 14th. Sigh.
Cano has got to get that. Aybar leading off the inning to first.. ouch.
….and exhale.
If Cano had made an error on that, I would’ve ate him for dinner.
Let’s win this already!
This game might be the turning point of the whole series.
faklwejr;lawkejrl;awke
FINALLY, GO YANKS!!!!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
What a fucking fantastic result.
None of the Yankee errors cost anything. The one Angels error cost them the game. Awesome.
Take your fundamentals and shove it. GO YANKS!!
Who gets the pie? I think it wouldn’t have been DP, but ya..
I LOVE BASEBALL
Drunk…..on……….joy………amazing.
IH – =)
^_________^
Just back from game…amazing. This team freaking rocks…6 more wins to go!
And gutsy pitching by Robertson in both times he’s won in the playoffs so far. Well deserved wins both times.
And on a late note, don’t you think Joe Saunders(kudos for him for a great outing) looks like somehow he’s the older brother of Joba? Just take a look at videos or pics and think about it. ;)
