Will this be another torturous night in the Motor City culminating in the demise of the Yankees’ season, or will the Bombers prevail to see this matter settled in the Bronx? We will know soon enough. AJ Burnett has a 7.17 career ERA in Detroit. Rick Porcello doesn’t.
Comment away.

Couldn’t resist…
I am glad you didn’t
GO.
AJ.
GO.
Oh, and the bats too.
Thoughts about next year’s Yanks? New pitcher for sure . . . Posada – gone??
Not until this season is over.
It ain’t over.
Amen.
Just like this season, I expect nothing. It’s served me well so far…
Phillies lead series 2-1.
LET’S GO YANKEES!!!
Win this game.
Do it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TADyXC2K0g&feature=fvst
Ready, steady, go.. first pitch is a strike to Jeter.
Jeter grounds out…1 out.
Called strike 3 for Curtis…2 outs.
That looked kinda high to me . . .
Between the thread title and your link, that may be too much Marshall.. we need some NY.
Cano grounds out.
3 outs.
Flawless first for the Tigers.
Come on AJ.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UjsXo9l6I8
Leadoff walk.
ARod grabs the popped up bunt.
1 out.
Stolen base.
2nd with 1 out…
Grounder to ARod…2 outs.
Runner to 3rd though.
Miggy is up…
End up IBB’ing Miggy…
1st and 3rd…2 outs…
Victor.
Come on AJ. Get the out.
Do it.
Some of his pitches are actually off the graphic they are so far off…
AJ is wild as ever…
Walks the bases loaded…
This is pretty much the worst case scenario.
Come on AJ.
That’ll work. Nice job, Grandy.
Nice link, Krueg.
GRANDERSON SAVES OUR ASS!!!!!!
Incredible.
No damage.
Exhale.
COME ON MEAT!!!! BRING THE THUNDER!!!!
Grandy man!
5 pitch…1-2-3 inning.
Ouch.
I’m going to give everyone one AB to get warmed up.
Back to the AJ Show.
Come on AJ.
I love those Foster beer ads . . .
I like the dancing hamster commercials…
ARod with another nice play.
1 out.
AJ snares a hot shot…2 outs.
He’s hitting the strike zone now.
Come on AJ.
3 up. 3 down.
K!!!
Excellent 2nd inning.
1-2-3.
Nice job AJ!
Offense?
That’s one way to get on . . .
Hip Hip…HBP.
2 on – let’s go!
Muscle singles…
1st and 2nd with no outs…
Gardner can’t lay it down…
0-2 count…man.
Bullshit!
Gardner K’s on a high pitch.
1 out.
Come on Jeter.
Jeter comes through. Thanks, Captain.
Oh captain, my captain! 2-0!
JETER!!!!!! 2 RUN DOUBLE!!!!!!
Great slide at home by Muscle….SAFE!!!!!!
2-0!!!!!
Got Jeter to 3rd…2 outs.
Cano. Get it.
Deep out.
2-0.
Come on AJ.
I’m at JFK airport. Got my food, walked to a deserted gate, and am watching the game alone with the sound muted. This suits me just fine. Will have to board in about an hour. If AJ has somehow not choked the lead up by the, we’ll win this game and the series.
Nice play A-Rod. He has been playing a fine 3B this series
Another slick play by ARod…1 out…
And then the Captain shows the RANGE…2 outs…
You have a very cool life IH.
Our GG shortstop flashes the leather (after plating the go ahead RBIs). Everyone else in the league is jealous. :)
Watching this game in my office where the computer is – going downstairs to watch on the bigger screen and light up a cigar. See you guys later and GO YANKEES!!!
Walks Delmon with 2 outs…
Miggy.
Come on AJ.
Got him. Grounder.
2-0 after 3.
Good job AJ.
It sounds more glamorous than it is krueg I’m sure. I used to love the travel. Now I just miss my wife and kids.
But I am a Yankee fan. So that part of my life is indeed perfect. You know how it feels…
Miguel Cabrera: No soup for you!!!!
ARod pops out. 1 out.
A-Rod: great defense. Pitiful offense. And no, two RBIs on infield ground balls does not make up for it.
I just like traveling…work or pleasure. No kids either.
Tex got HBP…
Swish?
K. 2 outs.
Someone take A-Rod, Teix, and Swisher to a shed somewhere and beat the snot out of them.
K.
Nada.
This kid is pitching really well.
Come on AJ.
Very curious to see how quick girardi’s hook is tonight. AJ always has a bad inning and it can go bad so fast with HBPs and wild pitches that I wouldn’t be surprised if Joe yanks him incredibly fast, esp if they only have a 2-run lead.
Leadoff HR. Victor.
2-1.
Come on AJ. Shake it off.
Grounder to Cano…1 out.
Settle down AJ. You’ve got this dude.
Double.
2nd with 1 out…
Hold it together AJ. Hold it together!!!!!!!!
Hughes up in the bullpen…
Nice bounce back…K.
2 outs.
Nice curve. When he can actually throw that pitch for called strikes he is tough. It’s his straight fastball that he must only throw out of the zone at this point. One more AJ. Come on man.
Ball in the dirt gets the runner to 3rd…
0-2 count though…
Come on AJ!
K!!!!!!
THAT A BOY AJ!!!!!
2-1 after 4.
Now how about we get him some runs now????
Hughes is a huge question mark right now out of the pen.
K – YES!!!!!!!!
Give AJ the ball next inning. But man oh man offense do we need some runs to allow him to breath.
Leadoff single for Muscle…
Exact copy of his last hit. Leadoff man on. MUST score him. Please don’t bunt. Please don’t bunt.
Go get ’em boys.
Gardner singles…
1st and 2nd with no outs…
)P*U!$@#(*U$#@@#
Bad bunt by Jeter…
1st and 2nd, 1 out…
Why. Why. Why. Why.
#%@#$^@#@^&*(#$%^
Did I mention today that I love Curtis Granderson?
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Stick the dagger in Cano (if I’m Leyland I IBB him)
CURTIS!!!!!! RBI DOUBLE!!!!!
3-1!!!!!
2nd and 3rd…1 out…
Cano.
IBB.
Bases loaded. 1 out.
ARod.
A-Rod: Now. Now or never. NOW!!! They IBB’d the bases loaded for you. Our CLEANUP hitter. Please don’t suck.
Was hoping ARod would be swinging at the first pitch, but no.. taking all the way.
Good job, Alex.
RBI SAC FOR AROD!!!!!
4-1.
1st and 3rd with 2 outs for Tex…
Come on Tex!
A-Rod’s best is the productive out this series. Well. It could have been worse.
Will Teix awake tonight??
Predicting a ground out 4-3 for Teix. Prove me wrong, Mark.
Takes third strike. That’s much worse.
K’s. Looking.
Man.
4-1.
Come on AJ.
Why oh why did they give away an out that inning?
Teix: welcome to a sub-.200 career BA in the post-season.
That should buy AJ 1 baserunner. And no more.
Well, Teixeira does have an upside. Nice scoop.
DP.
Huge.
Don’t know ag. It kills me. And speed gets on to leadoff the 5th. And the DP!!! What the F with that throw Derek??? Thank God Teix catches all over there.
AJ knocks it down…
1-2-3.
5 solid innings.
Keep it up AJ!!!
MORE RUNS!!!!
Meat of their order up next inning. Buy AJ 1 or 2 more here?!?
Teixeira makes catches/tags at first that maybe two or three other ballplayers in the game can make. It makes stomaching his current slump much more easy.
Swish grounds out. 1 out.
Nice play by santiago. Damn.
AJ, great job. You have been awesome tonight. I just don’t know what the Yankees should do in the sixth.
Hear you ag. Offense going quietly here. Come on muscle.
1-2-3 6th…nothing.
Come on AJ. At least 1 more inning man.
Throw AJ until anyone gets on. Have Hughes warming. Pray. I have big fears of hughes right now.
Do not throw another of those FBs in the zone.
Jeter snags the Miggy laser. 1 out.
BABIP-love.
Another grounder to Jeter…2 outs.
2 out single…
Wow. 5.2 IP, 1 ER. One more batter AJ and you have done everything anyone could have wanted. Literally makes the entire season of suck from him irrelevant to me. Except until his next start.
Here comes Logan. Sweet mother of God please do not fuck this up, Boone.
I heart Beavis.
Joe goes and gets AJ…
GREAT JOB AJ!!!!! STANDING OVATION HERE!!!!
Soriano.
Forget yesterday and get them dude.
Plane boarding. I must see the end of this inning first……
What a catch.
INCREDIBLE CATCH IN CENTER BY GRANDERSON!!!! FULLY LAID OUT TO MAKE THE PLAY!!!!!
4-1 after 6.
1 pitch by Soriano.
Have a safe trip IH!
Safe travels, IH. Good luck in Constantinople.
MVPs play in the post-season.
They get big hits.
They play flawless defense.
They are dangerous on the basepads.
That play was huge.
Thanks fellas. Loitering to be the last one on. Literally.
Gardner K’s.
Is there anything about this game more enjoyable than watching Curtis Granderson play?
…now it’s Istanbull not Constantinople…
…now it’s Istanbul not Constantinople…
Jeter walks with 1 out…
Soriano owes Curtis a steak. Or a side of beef.
Curtis flys out…2 outs.
No damage.
Bottom 7 we go…
Has a pitcher pointing straight up in the sky ever helped anyone locate the ball??
1 pitch. 1 out.
Someone is vacuuming around me. I think she wants me to move. I am not going anywhere.
K. 2 outs.
Soriano. Now I only mildly dislike you. Well done.
3 outs.
GREAT JOB SORIANO!!!!
6 more outs.
More runs would help.
OK. That’s it. Goodbye fellas. Praying this holds up and we see each other here on Thursday.
ARod singles!!!!!
ARod singles. Woohoo!

WHAT AN INNING!!!!!! FUCK YES!!!!!

Wow.
2 quick outs for Hughes…
Hughes blows away Miggy. K.
Scoreless 1-2-3 inning for Hughes with 2 K’s.
Excellent.
More runs in the 9th???
ARod with two singles in the eighth inning makes me happy. I hope it takes some heat off of him, but it probably won’t.
Montero getting some good practice in now.
Jesus is 2-for-2.
Wunderkind.
Home grown.
Boone in for the 9th.
K. 1 out.
K. 2 outs.
Victory.
Game 5. Thursday night. The Bronx.
It’s way more fun to be positive. I’m going to try it the rest of the way…
That was pretty sweet.
