Betsy October 19th, 2009 at 9:59 pm Yes Angel, I’m for real. Joe declined to elaborate? I’m sorry, that’s gutless – he doesn’t even have the courage of his convictions. (GUTLESS.) (COURAGE) I still blame this game on the offense – they stink. I said all along that this team has a lot to prove in the post-season and I was right. They are tough and they have terrific SP, but these guys are all choking…….and they have for the last several post-seasons. Tex doesn’t get a pass from me. Sure his D is great, but we need his bat……NOW. I really don’t want to see any more pinch runners as this offense needs all the help it can get. ____________________________________________________________ Betsy - good god, re-read your post. You are the worst fan I have ever come across. You are either hot or cold. It is like you don't know how to be objective. See below. 1. I still BLAME the game on the offense. They STINK. Betsy, when you think you are having the last word, you always have to BLAME a Yankee. No one else seems to use this word but you. Does blaming someone make it final. They STINK: How many games did this stinky team win, who has the most HR's, RBI'S. etc. Granted, you did say "post season" but this is the best team in the MLB and you can't even give them any credit and they have to prove it to you. Why to you?? No one appointed you god. 2. I said all along that this team has a lot to prove in the post-season and I was RIGHT. Why do you need to be right, Betsy? Try to explain that to Yankee fans. Does it make the team better?? 3. CHOKING. Betsy, Why can't you just say that the team is not batting up to par but you expect they will turn it around in this series. 4. Tex doesn't get a pass from me. Sister, he does not play the game to please your sorry butt. Tex is one of the reasons that this Yankee team is playing post season. 5. I really don't want to see any more pinch runners. Betsy, this game is not managed by you so saying "I really don't want..." will not get Girardi to change his mind. 6. Go back and count in this post alone how many times you have used "I". Mind-numbing isn't it? Now multiply that number by the number of posts you have given everyone your opinion this year. Astronomical, isn't it? Someone else noted the negative words used by the disgruntled fans in this post. You are right up there, babe. It is not my practice to bad-mouth another Yankee fan, but you Miss-Know-It-All take the cake for absurdity. Notice I did not start this sentence with "I". This team does not exist to please you. Get that through your head, please. This excellent Yankee team has lost only one game out of three. A true fan will watch the rest of the games with full loyalty and exalt if they win and feel genuine regret if they lose. Stupid negativity is for the stupid. AND - if the rest of you long time posters feel you have to protect poor Betsy because she is one of you - feel free to do so. I have been saving this up for a long time. AND - if there is anyone who agrees with me, be brave and say so. ENOUGH SAID. WORST POST BY FAR AND WHY DO YOU ALL NOT TAKE HER TO TASK FOR HER SUPER NEGATIVITY AND “I, I” ATTITUDE.

Still, Girardi's decision to pull D-Rob for Aceves there leaves you incredulous. Didn’t expect to sweep, nor were we in a better position to win this game, tied in extras on the road.

The Yankees are 5 - 1 this postseason, the best record of any team. We've won 5 games. We've lost 1. On April 1st we would have signed up for that in a heartbeat. Step off the ledge. We're doin ok.

The Yankees need to have a good start from CC tomorrow to lock in the series. If they don't win tomorrow, we're looking at elimination looming, ladies and gents.

Did anybody really think the Yankees were going to sweep the Angels? This is the team the Yankees couldn't beat until recently and the Halos had a damn fine season this year in case nobody noticed. This was a one run walk-off loss in extras in the Angels' house, not like the Yankees got their butts beat at home. Note: The Angels are trying to win these games. Girardi made a decision trying to win, not trying to lose. But he out-foxed himself. Pettitte made one bad pitch (really two - both HR pitches). Melky, Swish and Cano and even Teix are having atrocious at-bats, not experiencing bad luck or poor BABIP. They gotta straighten that out. CC will be a stabilizing force tomorrow. They will feed off his performance and confidence. Gonna win tomorrow, they know how to beat Kazmir. It's one friggin' game. Stop obsessing over every problem with this game - it's done.
