Mariano Rivera has allowed one earned run since June 16. His line since then:
28 innings
13 hits
1 earned run
6 walks
29 strikeouts
Opponents have hit .135 against him during that stretch. The man throws one pitch, is 39 and had shoulder surgery last fall. If years from now it was learned he was some sort of advanced alien life form, would you really be surprised?
Meanwhile, Nick Swisher has not hit a home run at Yankee Stadium since June 8. He has hit three in the Bronx all season, as many as he has at Camden Yards this year.
The Yankees are 35 games over .500. That’s their best since they finished the 2004 season 101-61.

Did we already win tonight’s game?
I’m confused but cautiously celebratory.
If the game is over I won’t have to cancel my Dinner with Andre.
I’m thinking Pete didn’t mean to post the game thread?

Princess Bride is bunk. My Dinner with Andre, Murphy Brown and Gossip Girl are where Wally Shawn shines.
Uncle Ellsworth, I’m not sure if Jeter needs to stay hot or cool off to hit the Sept. 7 early game target. But I still like my chances.
Of course Rivera hasn’t given up a run,he’s waiting for post season,to be lit up!!

good Luck. you may be dead on.
Shawn was also in “Clueless” not bad High School fare.
That Mariano isn’t too bad. Not bad at all
On a side note, I just typed in yahoo.com to check my email, and the breaking story is that the Duggars are expecting their 19th child. Can someone please stop the insanity?
The only team that gives him trouble at all is Boston. Everyone else goes down like they brought wet noodles or nerf bats up to the plate.
Even the hits he gives up are always to bizarre places because they are fisted egg balls, jam shots, broken bats etc…
Seriously, who in baseball gets weaker outs than Mariano?
Christina: I’ll look shortly, I’m d/ling my pictures right now!

Like I said, make it stop. They quoted the lady as being surprised she was pregnant. Lets get back to the basics on how children are conceived lady. Clearly its not that shocking as she pretty much lives her life to get pregnant. I hope she stops at 20 kids.

The Duggars are welcome to as many kids as they want. just as long as they keep their religion to themselves.

I’m hearing that the callups are Michael Dunn, Francisco Cervelli, Ramiro Pena and Mark Melancon. If true then Melancon will be happy that Dunn comes up now…because Dunn will be junior man and will have to wear the “pink backpack” until a younger rookie comes up.
Right now, it looks like Dunn, Cervelli, Pena and Melancon are the only “hazing-eligible” rookies on the team. I hope they bring up more…I can still remember the “Wizard of Oz” class of rookies. That was the best hazing ever. By the way, does anyone else think that Romulo Sanchez would make a great Darth Vader and Andrew Brackman would make a great Chewbacca?

Not to discredit how well Cotham pitched, but at this point, anyone could step in and pitch against the Valley Cats and do well. They are a terrible team and I hope Albany ships them out next year. At least bring in some baseball that people care about.

I’m sorry, but I doubt it highly that God wants people having 19 kids. How much attention are those kids getting? How can they even afford them all?
His performance hasnt suffered, but I think he’s going through a dead arm period right now. Over his last two appearances he’s been throwing 89 – 90. For most of the year he’s been 91 – 93.
Or…his shoulder is still bothering him. Let’s hope that’s not the case.

TEX has no problem with the booing directed at him from the Orioles fan. I didn’t think so.
Did I just Billy Crystal just say ‘your friends the White Sox are only PARTLY dead.”
I can’t believe we’re all actually quoting The Princess Bride from memory like it was Monty Python (Holy Grail) and we’re all still drunken college students.
Well OK maybe some of us ARE still drunken college students but not me.
And I can’t believe we’re actually ABLE to quote The Princess Bride from memory wither.
I agree it WAS a pretty funny movie though. And Cary Elwes best one too. I like the laurels particularly.

sorry
heres the intro
Welcome all to the first GTLU game with me, benfica356. Erica has brought a great tradition to the blog, but has stepped down for the rest of the year due to personal reasons. Erica has nominated me to take over the game and Today will mark a new beginning to this game, with an extended time limit(60 min to 90 min) and some more varities of lineups due to the September Call-ups. So now its time to play GTLU till 3:30 PM. Thank you and have a great day.
Ohhh busted … you’re right.
MOSTLY dead.
Partly alive.
Too much “college heroics” for you, your memory has suffered
So who plays who in the Yankees Playhouse version of “The Princess Bride”?
Westley – Derek Jeter
Buttercup – Minka Kelly
Inigo Montoya – Posada
Prince Humperdinck – Gary Sheffield
Fezzik – Shelley Duncan
The Grandfather – Don Zimmer
The Grandson – Francisco Cervelli
“due to personal reasons.”
That’s one way of putting it.
Why don’t any of you intelligent, female, Yankee fans live in NH? I’m sick of going on dates with girls who think Poukalis is “dreamy”…
“I’m sorry, but I doubt it highly that God wants people having 19 kids.”
You would think that the God you speak of would have made one of the parent’s sterile by now if this God didn’t want them to have 19 kids.
I believe the source isn’t concerned with how many children you conceive. They probably live a very abundant life which is how they’re able to have so many children.
Rivera to me is like Bruschi, the PERFECT BALLPLAYER. They are both one of a kind
Laura: Even better is they are all home-schooled. How 1 lady can teach 19 children at all different levels by herself is befuddling. It actually is degrading if you are in that profession because teaching 15-20 kids all at the same level is a challenge in itself. Some lady with no college education thinks she is qualified to do this is sickening. Not to say these kids arent being educated correctly, but I just cant see how well it can really work.
I guess if they didnt have a show about it on TV, I wouldnt find myself as annoyed. I am sure it happens all over the world, but they dont plaster their life for the public to see. Bragging about their homeschooling practice is what puzzles and annoys me at times. Again, a teacher so I am biased.
All in all, to each their own I guess. I just hope those kids are getting the best education that they should be getting.

Thanks for running our GTLU today.
Christina – I have a six-month old and she requires attention almost all the time. My wife and I tag team to get it done. That’s just ONE six month old. That lady having 19 kids, and home schooling them means she’s not sleeping, doing TONS of drugs, and/or they’re all going to get their GEDs in their 50’s. And the mom might not get hers until she’s in her 70’s.

I forgot wizend old men with no magical powers
GGBG, I was referring to how you references all of the weak hits people get off of him.
Which is completely true, they get a lot of sucker hits off of him. And yes, no one in baseball gets hit more on “sucker hits” than on nicely placed line drives or home runs, in comparison. You went 180 degrees with your question, hence it was confusing, I thought you meant the opposite.
I would NOT call his strike outs “sucker outs.”

So true, Ansky- especially with her having several infants and toddlers in the picture. Not sure how she manages to get it done. In NY you have to be deemed “competent” to homeschool and it is quite a process. Even then, the term competent is used very lightly. I almost have to think Arkansas homeschooling rules are very loose.

Peter,
I have always disagreed with this stuff about Rivera throwing one pitch. He uses that cutter to lefties but throws a two and four seem fastball to hit the outside corner on lefties and righties. He is also now throwing a slider to righties.
His control of his pitches and placement up and down has always been an asset.
The ability to control both sides of the plate is rare in any pitcher.
As lead counsel for the newly formed ACL-GTLU-U, I’m requesting a several minute leeway to accept edited line-ups.

Dunno, but my GTLU submission might be a real disaster cause I put two “call ups” in
Two games on the 7th, benfica. That’s when the lineups really hit the fan.
Wallace Shawn in “Clueless” was classic.
Santana has successful surgery. Still waiting to hear about the 1st unsuccesful surgery. Wouldn’t it be refreshing if just once a doctor said:
“Successful? You freaking kidding me? It was a total and complete clusterf*ck. Nothing we tried worked. Will he throw 95 MPH again? What exactly do you think clusterf*ck means? No, he will not be able to throw 95 again. He’ll be lucky if he peel his own oranges going forward.”

“Two games on the 7th, benfica. That’s when the lineups really hit the fan.”
Erica knew what she was doing, getting out when she did.
The players knew last night who was being called up, so they left this morning from Syracuse to Baltimore. Them not being there wouldnt be an issue Erica, I just wonder how soon they would put Pena or Cervelli into the lineup. I would think it would be later on in the week. They are mostly there if someone else is hurt or needs a day off, right?

LOL ! I’ve heard that theory before. That the Yankees have done their best- in terms of winning World Series when a Democrat is president. It’s funny, but if you track the history of the Yankees and the presidents they have gone on title runs during democratic administrations.
But I don’t care, I just want to see the Yankees win another title.
As long as they aren’t asking you to support or watch their children, how many they have really is none of your business.

I can’t imagine Girardi would have Cervelli catch AJ after the whole AJ/Posada-Gate stuff from last week.
After TJ surgery the pitcher asks Dr. Andrews: “Doc, will i be able to throw at 97mph?” Dr. Andrews says: “Of course, after a year of rehab”. Whereupon the pitcher replies: “That’s cool, i could never throw more than 88mph before.”

You guys are making way too big of an issue out of the Burnett/catcher situation.
Having any of the 3 catchers in the lineup will not be “adding fuel to the fire”.
That’s just silly.
Edwar was called up. Can anyone explain that to me?
Burnett is a team-first guy.
He’ll throw to whoever is catching and won’t say a word.
Its really a non-issue.

You ever raid the “4 corners casinos” as I like to call them right on the Tahoe border?
I once went there with 15 friends and amazingly 12 of us came out winners. 12 out of 15 won money. Simply amazing.
That never happens when we go to Vegas!
Edwar instead of Albaledejo(sp?) confuses me. Maybe Joe knows something about him that I dont know.
Some good news to report.
Maybe it’s been discussed already but the Yankees have decided to join the rest of the world in allowing people to enter Yankee Stadium with a small bag.
“Bags and Backpacks
Diaper bags, small backpacks, small purses and bags are permitted. However, in accordance with Major League Baseball security regulations, bags larger than 16 x 16 x 8 inches will not be allowed into the Stadium. Briefcases, large backpacks, large purses and bags, coolers and hard-sided bags and containers are also not permitted. All bags must be thoroughly inspected before they are permitted into the Stadium. Box templates shall be used at inspection points, and bags and their contents must fit without assistance, modification or adjustment. The Yankees reserve the right to inspect any bags, clothing or other articles prior to entry into Yankee Stadium and prohibit entry or require removal of any items the Yankees deem inappropriate or potentially injurious to Yankee Stadium, other patrons or field personnel.”
Erica-
I prefer “reigning champion”. Just has a nice ring to it.
LOL.
Anyone who thinks that having Cervelli catch AJ tonight doesn’t result in 1,000 questions from the media to Girardi is naive.

If anyone is on today who is in Baltimore for the series, and is a fan of gelato, the following artisanal gelato place, in Fells Point, is a must:

You have not had gelato like this, and I highly recommend the Sicilian Almond. It may not sound sexy, but it is to die for.
Fell’s Point is in Harbor East.
I have been to the Biltmore and Cal-Neva and… I forget the other ones, but probably them too.
Line ups should always be posted in the most current thread.
That is not a new rule
“Edwar was called up. Can anyone explain that to me?”
They need to bolster their bullpen, especially since Joba is only pitching 3-4 innings for his next 2 or 3 outings.
“Anyone who thinks that having Cervelli catch AJ tonight doesn’t result in 1,000 questions from the media to Girardi is naive.”
So which of the 3 catchers playing tonight will not result in 1,000 questions to Girardi. Molina or Posada?
You’re just reaching for something that isn’t there.
chad jennings has the callups…

There’s a Harrah’s over there I know. Cause I was sent an invitation to fly there and stay 4 nights for free
Yankees have called up INF Ramiro Pena, C Francisco Cervelli, RHP Edwar Ramirez, LHP Mike Dunn and RHP Mark Melancon
Nick I’m talking about the ones right on the Cali border.
I think they are Caesars, Harrahs, Harveys, and one other one which I can’t think of the name.
They’re all within a 1/4 mile of each other on the same main street.

I just figured Alby looked better than Edwar, thats all. I guess they should leave some good relievers for Scranton to have.
Ohhhhh, you’re talking about the south side. I hardly ever go down there. My brother lives in Alpine, I spend almost all of my time in the north side. There are a few little casinos on the border on the north side too.
Christina,
You captured me in the background of your photo looking very much like a creeper. Good job…
As for the Edwar call-up, he’s on the 40 man roster so either they simply found it to be an easier move or they have some confidence in him…

For the umpteenth time, Mariano Rivera does not “throw one pitch.” Unless there’s no distinction made between a cutter, a sinker, and high heat, that is.
Mo has got a bunch of variations of his cutter, depending on the grip he uses, particularly where he places his thumb.
