UPDATE, 11:10 p.m.: Mo is in for the last six outs and we’re starting up a new thread. Let’s see if the Yankees can take it home from here.
UPDATE, 11:22 p.m.: That was the first earned run allowed by Rivera in a postseason home game since Oct. 22, 2000 (Game 2 of the World Series against the Mets). Still holding a one-run lead with four outs to go.
UPDATE, 11:35 p.m.: Huge gag job by Kazmir there, shortening up on the easy throw to first. Looks like Rivera could have more of a cushion than he thought to close this out.
6 more to go…
6 mo to go
Let’s add to the legacy of “The Great Mariano.”
Really? Mo for 6 outs? Really? I hope he doesn’t throw a lot of pitches. We kind of need him.
I would have Hughes start the 8th inning. We have seen with Mo when he pitches 2 innings the 2nd inning his stuff is usually not as good.
No messin’ around from Joe.
Go get em’ Mo.
Playing “Enter sandman”
Can’t argue with this move. Let’s go, Mo!
Posada behind Arod is brutal…is there an alternative?
I don’t think so. They’re pitching him well.
Awesome!
Can’t disagree with this move.
If we lose tonight I think we lose the series, it will be too much to overcome losing with 6 outs left with Mo on the hill
It’s all on Mo Money now, this is definitively the right move! Unlucky start…
No way to be second guessed here.
I’m uneasy as can be seeing Mo go the extra distance. 2003 this isn’t.
fudge…dang flairs…
We are in a way betting the farm. I don’t think he’s aval tomm if this doesn’t work out.
F**kin’ doinker!!
Buck just shot his…
ooooh, i do not like the 6 out mo.
i wanted marte for one, then the call in mid-inning for the fab 5
“…and a good start to the inning!!!”
Thanks, Joe Buck.
Please have good cutter….
Jete has to lay out for that!!!!!!
lets get an out
I have second guessed joe a lot..but You can’t ask for anything better a two run lead 6 outs and mo in the game..got to like your chances..
DP will make up for that bloop.
Have faith in Mo !!
I think I just went blind.
Oy vey
in good news, steve phillips was fired by espn
Let’s go Mo!
In Mo I trust
In Mo I trust
In Mo I trust
So maybe less &*%*^ing and more enjoying?
——————
I’ve never seen more miserable “fans” of the best team in baseball 6 outs from the World Series.
spoiled brats??
Should we have improved the OF defense before the start of the inning?
joe buck is a doosher…”good start to the inning”
Isn’t this showing a lack of confidence in Hughes?
I hate figgins..
You’re basically gambling the series right here.
I have BAD Feeling they gonna get us this inning
in the 9th…we still bat up 1 more time…
Nick in SF
“…and a good start to the inning!!!”
Thanks, Joe Buck.

He just doing what he can for his favorite team.
Joe Buck is a hump

***
Not at all. It’s showing “I really want to go to the World Series”
people really want hughes or marte…the world series is on the line win or lose with the best postseason pitcher ever..
wow tex
wow tex!!!
Great play Tex!!! He can afford to give up one…
Huge break there. But we are only in this tight spot because we SUCK with RISP.
I G-love mark texieria. Flashing the leather.
“we need to PH posada…
he’s a total piece of garbage
if we lose, it’s all on HIM”
————————————–
The award for stupidest comment of the night.
Tex is AMAZING! He thought about going to 2nd for a second
1-2-3?em Mo..
The MVP Mixtape at 1B
What a play.. wow
Figgins is going to steal 3rd. It’ll be their only chance to steal on Mo has he continues to kill forests.
How does Jeter not dive for that?
To keep Figgins on first?
I don’t get it. Dive into seats but not the grass????
You want your best on the mound in this situation.
That Posada inning ending Dp back w/ the bases loaded, I still can’t get it out of my mind. Why do I think it still is going to come back to haunt us tonight?
i hope it just ends up being a side bar, please.
people are second guessing bringing in mo? really???
mo made hunter look like a fool the other night. let’s see if he does it again…
Taking Tums and praying constantly.
Torii with the haymaker….he missed badly. I felt the breeze here in oakland
Robi!
AWESOME!!! great positioning…
Robbie!
Still can’t watch, keep posting. Giants down by 7 with 6 minutes to play. Hopefully we will just hear Tom C and Eli talking about a loss tomm
Thank you cano.
WOW!!!!! Just HUGE!!!!!!!!!! WAY Lucky.
Great defense positioning!!! Joe Buck just cried in his milk!!
Cano was in the perfect position!
Oops. It’ll be their only chance to score on Mo.
And Cano!!
scouting reports get credit for that one! WOW!
“we need to PH posada…
he’s a total piece of garbage
if we lose, it’s all on HIM”
————————————–”
WOW! that is a confusing post there..
Nice!!
Great position Cano
Cano is impressing me tonight
wow. what placing by cano…
# Artie Lang October 25th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
WOW
HEY BOBBY HOW BOUT SOME JOE MAUER TREATMENT!!
AND THEN TEX MAKES BRIAN CASHMAN LOOK BEAUTIFUL YET AGAIN!!
Nice CANO! Playing him right up the middle
Yikes, what a hack by Vlady
Com’on Mo
“I’ve never seen more miserable “fans” of the best team in baseball 6 outs from the World Series.”
boston dave-
i miss the good old days of black and white tv when the yankees were winning all those world series.
there wasn’t enough technology to know how many yankees fans were morons.
I don’t like this matchup with Vlad…he is a good FB hitter
Nice, Robbie!
How can anyone be second-guessing putting Mo in?? Win or lose with your best.
The curse of MT
Cano was fortunate that he was holding Figgins on 2nd base…
Takes the Pepto Bisol tosses it in the trash
Steps on the Tums tablets and spits on it.
joe buck is tears. why tears, he is so brutal he makes me cry
Nice one randy
Stand Up!
A cutter way outside and he’ll be done.
Why set up outside on Vladdy?????
Wrong move!!!!
Bust him up and in!!!!
that’s the pitch hughes didn’t make…
Believe in MO
Cry about Robby not hitting? There was your reason to back off him.
Cry about Tex not hitting? There was your reason to back off him.
Cry about Swisher not hitting? You already saw your reason to back off him.
I’ll tell you what. I will replay those gorgeous plays in the field over and over in my head, but I won’t remember a stick of the offense. (no jokes about there being nothing to remember, necessary…)
lol @ Vladi. Embarrassing.
vlad obviously cant count!
Where does that dude think he is going????
we play with 4 balls in this league son
boston dave-

The award for stupidest comment of the night.
————————————————————
It’s definately in the top two.
tell vlad to lay off the stuff.
Vlad should be ejected for bat tossing.
Jeter plays traffic cop… lol
join the swish-posada club vlad
Posada is contagious, Vlady caught it.
How’re people getting counts and the amount of outs and running the bases so badly in this postseason? eerie stuff…
Come on Mo-
Blow it by him!!! BLOW!!!
Nice try Vlad
posada didnt even try to stop him. guess he thought it was ball 4 also.
Jorge Guerrero
Giants held, come on Yanks
mo at 16 pitches
Cutter up and in?
vlad’s mistake was he asked jorge before the pitch what the count was
Buck is showing his bias again.
vlad getting mo’s pitchcount up…
He’s up to 17 pitches
With the way the dolphins lost today…the sports gods OWE ME THIS.
Inside cutter Mo
Brandon Downer (BECAUSE TONIGHT IS NOT AN AWESOME NIGHT)

*****
Classy Brandon. Classy
Wow, Mo is making us sweat it out!!!!
Damn..Vlad is a tough out
dammit
Don’t let Morales bat.
:/
Sh*t!!!
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Not liking where this is going. Rivera is throwing a ton of pitches.
OMG!…save it for andy please..
Buck just wet himself
and Mariano again comes up small in the postseason.
crap
son of a byotch
These bastards don’t give up.
That was big, but if they get Morales, Mo Money we’ll get the bottom of the lineup next inning…
put swisher in
score should be 8-2
not hitting him hard but they are hitting him.
all right still have the lead…
Okay. That’s all they get!!!
Let’s get out of the inning! Now please!
Bad pitch locations. Have to not let Vladimir extend
Well if Posada didn’t ground out that run would mean nothing.
Meanwhile, the Yankees have had 16 baserunners in 7 innings for 3 runs. Angels, it doesn;t seem have hit a ball hard all game and have 2.
I’m going to puke.
come on MO……………………1 more out
Break his bat Mo
Drew,
You mean son of a pitch?
The infamous slap hit against Mo.
God I miss this feeling of anxiety, and wanting to cut someone’s throat. JFC
Get him Mo.
Please.
lets go mo… cant give anymore up
Joe Girardi is an idiot…Hughes could have come in and gave up a run
This is the game time at bat, here. Morales is scarey from the left side.
Posada – LOB = A nailbiter
What is up with Mo tonight? Does anyone know his pitch count?
doing mo for 6 wasnt a super idea.
it might work, but wasnt super.
mo is gonna be taxed in the 9th
Waldman said this was the first run Mo has given up in a home post season game in 8 years.
Break it
Here comes a high and hard cutter, bring it MO!
And now all the DP’s and runners LOB and not hitting with RISP might bite us in the ass.
I’ve been on the wagon since Wednesday, about to reach for the Goose!!! I don’t know how else to continue watching this game!
mo at 20 pitches.
That’ll do!!
Mo Money No Problem!
3 mo outs!
FINALLY!!!!!!!!
yes!
Thank you for making that inning end
THREE MO!!!!!!!!
Exit, light
Enter, Night
Take my hand
we’re off to never-never land
3 outs left..
Tack on some runs please!
Joe Girardi is an idiot…Hughes could have come in and gave up a run
___ no YOU are an idiot. everyone agrees youwin or lose with your best.
there you go…stop complaining sit back and enjoy..have faith…it is never going to be easy
3 outs away!
I want #64…give me some insurance runs!
3 more outs to go…
let’s get a couple of runs boys
lets go yanks give him some breathin room…
Giants doing everything to give the Cards the W.
Cano makes his mark with this ab….
3 OUTS TO GO! NO MATTER IT GOT THERE
3 MORE!
Denise
Qutting drinking during the post season is a rough call…
3 more !!!
Mo threw 21 pitches.
I hope he has enough left to finish it off.
Bottom of the Angels lineup coming in the 9th. Yanks will be popping champagne tonight
DT – that is correct – the azz blowers on the tv said it was a 35 inning post season run without a run.
3 outs left.
IT STOPS HERE.
Might have been better off letting Guerrero take the walk.
# Ecology [Going Further] October 25th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
doing mo for 6 wasnt a super idea.
it might work, but wasnt super.
mo is gonna be taxed in the 9th
Mo will be fine, hasn’t pitched in a while and even then it was only 2/3 inning, and potentially will have 2 days off after tonite
3 more outs.
Denise,
Are you serious? If you are you shouldn’t have liquor in the house, no? Pour it down the sink, you won’t need it. They Yankees will get it done.
Insurance runs please?
Remember the Posada bases loaded DP.
4-2 looks a whole lot better right now.
3 more outs yanks…
This is just too much drama lol
“What is up with Mo tonight? Does anyone know his pitch count?”
Nothing..he gave up a cheap hit to figgins and a groundball to guerro that found a hole..it happens..
We need a run or 2 from the Yankee bats!
Rivera is always suspect to the broken bat duck snort. If you score on him one of those is usually involved and the angels are the kings of being annoying and lucky.
If this was game 7 of the ALCS, then I do agree that Mo should pitch…but NOT game 6….that’s not unreasonable, is it?
Dearest New York Yankees Offense-
I know I have been asking for a lot. But we are now so close to the World Series. So close. And its been a long time. Can you please tack on a few runs here to make this just a little less scary. Please. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Sincerely Yours,
Erica
If there are any insurance salesman out there…please call Yankee Stadium immediately.
I’m going to say something radical.
Let’s go to Robertson in the 9th inning!
(After the Yankees put up a 6 spot in the 8th of course.)
Giants are awful tonight. Eli defense Bradshaw Gilbride Sheridan….everyone. yuck
This game is completely on the offense, if they lose.
Mo doesn’t have much tonight, but at least he will be facing the bottom of the order.
Need.a.run.
Might have been better off letting Guerrero take the walk.
———————————————————-
i was thinking the same thing.
M,
I’m not an alcoholic, by any stretch, just tied one on Wednesday nite and didn’t want to see or smell alcohol for a good while!
Let’s get that run back. Rally !
3 more outs, folks.
Poor mo for giving up a run. But we’re still up, and that’s what counts.
3 outs away…either way it’s going to be hard to sleep tonight….big time nerves
Bradshaw just fumbled Giants were driving for the tie
Brandon, can you get across the same feelings without using gross analogies or taking the lord’s name in vain?
Thanks!
A run would be huuuuuuge.
Posada has left 7 men on base tonight. all by himself.
Jockomac
Mo threw 21 pitches.
I hope he has enough left to finish it off.
Sure he does, he can sleep in tomorrow just waiting for the Phillies.
Even though the bottom of the Angels lineup is coming up we really need some insurance here.
Time to go for the XO.
Those DPs are killing us.
Mo had 21 pitches
it is almost as if the New York giants played those really bad teams and it put them in a funk….got to beat the cards
The Yanks need to finish this off tonight. You get the feeling that Figgins, Abreu and Vlad are starting to heat up.
I’m calling, Robbie’s gonna put a charge in one!!!
I wonder why Scioscia is staying with Santana? No Weaver?
swisher HR this inning
anyone feel swish will hit a 2 run hr?
Mo at 21 pitches but our defense will hold them and we’ll score an insurance run this inning.
Swish is due. Double due.
two walks in a game by cano? when was the last time he walked twice in a game…
BUNT CANO OVER…
Cano has two walks today, people!
Denise,
Okay. Win, lose, or draw looks like you’ll be drinking something tonight.
I thought the same thing GB
A walk… nice
m,
was more or less being funny there:) I’m good!
Maybe not, but that’s a good start! And I think Sciosia is playing with a bit of fire here, Scott Kazmir? OK…
All right! Hopefully we see Bad (good for us) Kazmir.
If anybody is due, it’s Swish
Kaz ILY guts but Swishy is gonna take you deep.
swisher for 2
Yanks got this. I wish the Giants could win too.
Will people calm down ! We are 3 out away ! They want this series to end so you bring in Mo, case closed !
Cano snags it at second; Tex’s diving stop. Both huge.
Run(s) please.
Two walks for Cano in one game?
Swish yanks one out right here. I feel it.
“The Yanks need to finish this off tonight. You get the feeling that Figgins, Abreu and Vlad are starting to heat up.”
—————
was it the Figgins bloop that’s scaring you?
I’d like to see how hot they are against the hottest pitcher in baseball (should disaster strike and it goes to 7).
Swish should bunt, if he knows how to…..
please get him in. well it is Mo, but some insurance would be nice
Enough Pitching Changes October 25th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
it is almost as if the New York giants played those really bad teams and it put them in a funk….got to beat the cards
Giants have been playing like a really bad team lately
“Cano has two walks today, people!”
It’s destiny!
Cano is showing a lot of patience, tonight. Big run scored and a lot of outstanding defensive plays.
I agree with the overall sentiment here–Swish is overdue and will take Kaz deep.
TO EVERYONE:
don’t relax b/c the bottom of Angels lineup is up next! They’ve done the most damage to us in this series!!!!
That eighth could have been a lot worse than it was. Tex with glove and then Cano and the Yanks get a huge break on the right place at the right time behind 2nd. That inning gets pretty crazy w/o it.
Swish can’t bunt right? He needs to learn fast. Put some serious pressure on Kazmir here.
Enough with the Posada crap. He’s the best hitting catcher in the AL not named Joe Mauer.
He’s having a bad game with the bat. It happens. He’s just the latest culprit of leaving runners in scoring position.
Everyone except A-Rod has had their struggles this series.
That’s why the Yankees are sweating out a game that shouldn’t even be happening.
cmon!!! 3 more outs!!
i would love a bunt..however..swisher can’t get a bunt down…got to let him hit..maybe he works out a walk
is there anyone here who when spring training started wouldn’t take rivera with a one run lead with one inning to go?
the yankees are where we want them to be.
now to close it out.
walks will kill ya. (well they should – that’s # 7!!)
make em pay!
trisha – OPPC lifetime member who’s just waiting around for Number 27! October 25th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
Brandon, can you get across the same feelings without using gross analogies or taking the lord’s name in vain?
Thanks!
=======
Hey trish, you annoy half the people here and you don’t stop.
Watch the game.
I can’t handle all of the drama. It’s killing me inside. We need insurance runs. Swish – bring ‘em home!
Hunter, the hunted…
Houdini handling the Halos…
Guerrero, gain, groans…
Why are the Angels not using Weaver today or tomorrow? I find that kind of odd. He was arguably their best pitcher this season.
How bout a pinch runner for Robbie?
Denise, although most of that damage was done by Mathis, he’s out of the game
Swishhawk time….
“it is almost as if the New York giants played those really bad teams and it put them in a funk….got to beat the cards”
They’re struggling all over. Even Eli. Bradshaw just punched someone in the face. No need for that right now.
Swish has been brutal. You have to bunt….
Just letting y’all know -
AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME, I will post the results of the Postseason chart, to that date.
THE FOLLOWING DAY I will start to take World Series predictions. Please remember to put my name in the post.
This is not a jinx, since I didn’t mention any team in particular…
GO YANKEES!!!
great defense by Cano and Great place discipline, what did they do with the real robbie Cano
Boston Dave,
Abreu got a big hit, Vlad had 2 hits. And Figgins may only need a bloop to get him going.
As I said earlier, I like our chances though.
“Giants have been playing like a really bad team lately”
True…
Little ball.
A bunt would be nice.
This is Swisher’s chance to be forgiven.
Isn’t Mo a better pitcher with a 1 run lead?
Swisher is due.
nice confidence they have in Fuentes!!! LOL!!!
Swishy’s bat is dead set on the fastball…time is now.
Pinch run with Guzman and bring in Hairston to play 2B, I think it’s a more reasonable play to send the runner then to try to make Swisher bunt…
FeBuch October 25th, 2009 at 11:30 pm
How bout a pinch runner for Robbie?
——-
i’m not taking that glove away from 2nd base….
“Enough with the Posada crap. He’s the best hitting catcher in the AL not named Joe Mauer.
He’s having a bad game with the bat. It happens. He’s just the latest culprit of leaving runners in scoring position.”
————
it was either randy or GB7 who noted that Posada had a .900 OPS in the postseason entering the game.
not too shabby
Stultus Magnus
At least she’s a real Yankee fan
kazmir is ony 25? I thought he was like 35…he has been in the league for awhile
i would bunt swisher here…
a bunt is all we ask for, not a tall order there!
hit one out nick so i can hear sterling says “He’s Swishalicious”
Kaz is only 25 years old. Seems like he has been in the league forever.
kazmir will walk the bases loaded
Come on guys, stop the insults. Be nice. And by the way, don’t be rude to Trisha. Just my 2 cents.
Take the walk Swish
Steve Smith just caught a bomb.
gardner is ready to pinch run for swish if he gets on…
I’ll second the motion for an insurance run. But not with bunting.
nick can’t bunt that well
swisher can’t bunt…can he..work out a walk
Anyone else get the impression that Swisher can’t bunt at all?
don’t bunt until he throws a strike
2 – 0
I put the swing sign on.
Kazmir has Joba velocity
I’d love to see a butcher boy
swing away…
Swish isn’t looking too comfortable bunting here
Finally Steve Smith nice catch. Swish get a hit
Bunting has never looked so difficult.
come on Swishy
why is he bunting?
If you’re going to bunt, pinch hit Gardner. He’s a better bunter, and a faster runner.
question.
has Mo ever let up runs in back to back innings?
Who cares about the Angels moves ! The only thing that matters is the Yankees taking this series.
220 million only buys you one “bunter” and his name is Cabrera
big break..bunt again..
GJ SWISH
Let’s go Yankees (clap clap, clap-clap-clap)!
SWISHALICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND THE YANKEES CATCH A BREAK!!
Swishy can bunt!
I want the insurance runs, but I don’t want Mo sitting on the dugout bench for 20 minutes. Am I greedy?
YEAH!!!
omg!!!! wow!!!! sweet, SWISHALICIOUS!
Swish got it done!
Great bunt!!
And the drop…
Nice.
Never mind. Kendrick was busy looking into Cervelli’s eyes.
YES SWISH!
Holy crap!!!! More Yankee magic!!! Great bunt Swish!!! Thanks HOWIE!!!
niceeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Sweet…
Who said Swish can’t bunt?
Maybe that’ll get Swisher going…
Whoa
He dropped the ball!
Is Joe Buck crying????
Some peeps owe Swish an apology… that was perfect
we have put down some REALLY good bunts this series…
forget it.
Wow that was pretty bad. Not that I’m complaining
Geeked out by “Lightnin’ Swish”!
Melky bunt too?
Fundamentally sound my rally monkey butt!
I could of caught that
bunt again
Great bunt and a huge break. Will they bunt with Cabrera?
Angles “Doing the Little Things Right” again. Why aren’t Tim and Joe waxing philosophic about that stuff.
get the bunt down again..
GGBG
i like mo coming out of the bullpen to start an inning .
i think he should walk back out there when he throws two innings and then walk back in to start the ninth.
maybe in the world series.
My 9 year old daughter could have caught that.
Artie Lang October 25th, 2009 at 11:33 pm

When we score a bajillion runs this inning it won’t matter Mo has been sitting on the bench
Com’on Melky
Melky is the one who scares me bunting.
Bad 1st bunt attempt by Melky, that was a weird one, come on Melky, we need execution here!!!
Another bunt!
……anyone see the ghosts appear?
That is from the bunting textbook Melky. Not.
Yeah, Kaz getting roughed up. Not complaining.To be honest I actually like him, not right now, but I do think hes good.
if we bunt…they walk Jeter to get to Damon again…
I hate these damn bunts
kimo,
Dude. No one wants to hear about your butt. Your comment in the other thread was gross and offensive.
Thanks KF and Valerie!
I heart my friends!!!
Terrible try Melky. Just put it down.
YES!!!!!!!!!

OMFG!
LOL!
WE ARE FORCING THE ISSUE!!!!!!!!!!!!1
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Angels’ imploding again in the field.
thanks kaz
no way
OMG!!!! WHAT WAS THAT!!!??!?? UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!
Kazmir with the premier bonehead play of the day 2009 season.
this is what i was worried about. a long wait for rivera…. but if these runs keep scoring, i guess it wont matter
Omg that was embarrassing, lol.
world series baby!
RSIP against a Yankee killer…. Ha Ha
Yankee Magic!!!
if the walks don’t kill ya the bunts will!!!!
insert NAIL IN COFFIN!!!!
HA HA Angels falling apart.
Once a Devil ray always a Devil Ray
OMFG!! I just cackled!!!
Yes ! Thanks Kazmir !
Threw it away!
FundaMENTALS!!
omg! OMG!
As I said. Small Ball Kills!!!
What the H3LL happened to Kazmir on that throw?!
that was high
wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My dad: OHHHH THE BAMBINO IS WATCHING
they are feeling the pressure…
The Angels’ wings are moulting.
AIRMAIL!!!
Might as well have ALL the batters bunt now.
The Angels are self destructing!
Scioscia looks like he wants my cognac!
Yes Melky!!
wow angels r really helpin us out.. hope mo will be ok sittin on bench
I could of thrown that
The ghosts have officially arrived from across the street.
The GHOSTS ARE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!
we are out-Angeling the Angels!
here’s what the yankees do – THEY MAKE YOU SCARED…THEY FORCE YOU TO ABANDON YOUR STYLE OF PLAY!!!
How much is Moreno paying Kazmir?
wow. just wow.
I absolutely LOVE these fundamentally sound Angels.
Lol thanks Kazmir
small ball baby small ball
How does the brilliant Mike Scioscia bring in Scott Kazmir in this game at this point? UNREAL… LETS KEEP IT GOING!!!!
These Angels are sooooooooo fundamentally sound
the media will surely focus on all these errors…
but the Yanks pitching is what is winning these games.
I hope the Phillies think the Yanks got lucky too.
Ransom would’ve caught that force at first.
OK Erica you can come out of the shower now.
I just kicked the Tums habit!
This is why I wanted the Yankees playing the Angels in a 7 game series. I knew they could outlast their bullpen. They’ve got nowhere to turn now, probably Weaver next. I expect floodgates now. BUNT AGAIN!
carlos gomez…scott kazmir – METS FARM SYSTEM RULES!!!
That what happens when ask guys to do things there not used to doing. Kazmirs first ever releif appearence will be one he never forgets.
What the hell… bunt with Jeter!
Air Kendrick
There’s no rally monkey to save them now
This is one of those times where you say, he was a Met
take the pitches, Kaz can’t find the strike zone either!
I think it might be safe to use the word choke now.
Shoot, Buck and McCarver are literally speechless. So much for journalistic objectivity.
basehit here would be nice
The ghost have been making appearances all season. 15 walk off wins…
Are Mets players just doomed to be chokers? First Gomez, now Kazmir.
CHEERS TO WHOM EVERY SAID: “ONCE A D-RAY, ALWAYS A D-RAY”
small ball!
Trisha–we’re here for ya, girl
fly ball here and its 3 run lead for mo, base hit its 4
thanks for answering the question guys.
off to river ave blue
keep it going guys!
cano + swisher + melky = AWESOME tonight!!!

OK Erica you can come out of the shower now.
I just kicked the Tums habit!
***
Oh good. I was turning prune
lol m
he would have!
I fee bad for the Angels. The team as a whole has crumbled under the pressure. It’s unbelievable.
I’m excited for the Phillies Yankees WorldSeries.
Vin,
why would Jeter bunt here? They would not have a play!
jeter fails?!?!??!
I still wouldn’t call Kazmir gutless.
As for the other thing, all I’m saying is, maybe he should keep Dr. Heimlich’s number in his Fave Five.
Death of the Monkey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL at Kazmir throwing 85 mph to 1st.
Johnny, I love you!!!!! Make me proud!!!!!
Everyone complaining about a long wait for Rivera, please… keep things in the right perspective, runs are paramount here
Yanks getting ready for the Phils. small ball kills.
come on push that run across
another RUN please!!
Morales say thanks Kazmir…you broke my thumb
just get a sac fly johnny…
I REALLY want them to clinch tonight. Not just for me, but cause Christina is there, and she drove such a long way there and back to be there – it’d be so nice if she got to be a part of that.
I bet she can give us a full report on how very loud it was there.
Brutal night with RISP, up and down the lineup.
epic fail there, captain.
Gotta get one these guys in.
Valerie G, if your request would just work the other way around, there would finally be peace in our time.
That throw to first base was Kazmir’s best fastball in 2 months.
dang it jeter, thats the only place not to hit it. Say what you want about Giradi but I loved the bunt call with Swisher there even if they hadn’t dropped it. Hes managed a good game tonight
Goose is still in the cabinet, thank you Bottom of Our Order!
C’mon Johnny, get me that 5th run.
Need one more.
>Shoot, Buck and McCarver are literally speechless.
>So much for journalistic objectivity.
The less they say, the better.
interception again. Come on Eli
this game is not over
Let’s go!
why kazmir???why did he use kazmir
erica– i can’t imagine your water bill
A mere fly ball that is all we need.
Eli stinking up the joint.
Terrible game by Eli Manning.
Denise,
Got to stick with what was working! (just kidding, btw).
Joe needs to get someone up in the pen…this has been a 20 minute inning…just in case…
“I fee bad for the Angels”
Oh hell this team made me cry, emotionally weep for the first time, IT’S TIME TO HANG THAT RALLY MONKEY
big hit right now would be nice
JMere…thanks and one right back at you.
Blake,
Swish bunting is easy elementary managerial call with no one out. U wanna give Girardi a gold medal for this?
The trolls are slowly dying off….
Valerie G.
October 25th, 2009 at 11:39 pm
erica– i can’t imagine your water bill
***
I don’t pay a water bill. At least not directly. Its a building common charge
Yankees looking to pull out another win this post season batting 1-13 with RISP and leaving a dozen runners on base.
Crap Damon. Put it in play.
if they come away with no more runs here it will be tragic.. hit a dern flyball damon
nick–what’re you talking about?
I enjoy seeing the idiots that actually knocked Melky’s bunting ability made to look foolish.
Eli is a complete idiot
YankeeKid October 25th, 2009 at 11:39 pm
this game is not over
—————
Apparently Guerrero thinks it is.
They need to hit with RISP. You know to practice it, see what it feels like.
Kazmir and Kendrick…
Klutzes, or phantoms’ fiddle…
Fearless! Four to two!
vlad should go to tor. they need offense.
Enough Pitching Changes
October 25th, 2009 at 11:39 pm
why kazmir???why did he use kazmir
*****
I dunno. But I am glad he did!
Erica…sac fly
Johnny is so tough with 2 strikes. I hated these types of ABs when he was with the Sox.
At least he can’t hit into a DP
If the Yankees were in the Angels’ position (down 1 run in the 8th inning of an elimination game on the road), is there any doubt they would use Rivera? Your closer is supposed to be your best reliever, and the Angels are using their struggling #4 pitcher instead. No Jepsen, no Fuentes. Just goes to show how much they trust their bullpen.
Vin,
thank god you were kidding there:)
come push that run across..
erica–so that explains it…lol
G Men lose a bad one, but they can overcome this bad stretch, priorities are with the pinstripes, forget the G Men and lets enjoy the pennant!!!
great at bat
I can’t breathe.
Valerie: forget it for now, it’s Yankee winning time and happy happy blog time.
This should be interesting with Tex up…
MPB Johnny Damon = Awesome
TEX!!! NO DP PLEASE!!!
is it just me or is Vlady Daddy a O’reo next year??? we need to push another one across…good walk for Damon…TIME FOR ONE GOOD OLD FASHION TEX MESSAGE
come on Tex!
Stir stir stir!
Stir stir stir!
P.U.!!!
big spot for texy.
Okay Tex.
All we need is a fly ball.
Baba O’Reilly… is Paul O’Neill coming to bat?
c’mon Teix. time to earn that pay check
Time for Tex! Not sure why Jepsen wasn’t pitching this inning.
come on tex, this is why they pay you the big bucks. At least don’t hit into a dp so arod has a shot
At least he can’t hit into a DP.
———————————
Now we can.
lets go Tex, i’d like to take a breath before the bottom of the 9th
I am shocked that Weaver wasn’t brought into this game.
“Eli is a complete idiot”
One game. Erase it out your mind, he’ll have better ones.
push that run across
Vader
October 25th, 2009 at 11:41 pm
Erica…sac fly
****
Nah, he’s unselfish and passed the baton
OK to to get off the schnide with the bases juiced. And nor more (thing we shall not mention).
man i wish paul oneil was coming up
This should be Kazmir’s last batter
just need one more run
why couldn’t arod be up now
nick–i think i get it anyway. but you’re right. time to watch the yanks go to the WS!
“why kazmir???why did he use kazmir”
Our girls mystique and Aura whispered in his ear.
Wow Manning what a bonehead pass
Text Message coming
Tex
Smoke it somewhere Tex
Blew it by Tex!!
oooooooooooooooooooh…tex wanted to send that to philly…
walk # 8.
make em pay MT !!
why is Kazmir even in the game over Jepsen?
NO K here..
all the guys angels had in their pen..they bring out kazmir whoose had no control lately…good for us though
Tex looking to make it 8-2.
Looking to put this one out of reach
That was the pitch on 1-1, damn…
Nicks was wide open. Don’t know where Eli was doing. smh
That throw to first base was Kazmir’s best fastball in 2 months.
————————————–
Yes GB7 but I still don’t think it was a strike!
Giants got the Eagles next. They can’t lose 3 in a row. They need that win next week
Teix swinging for the fences makes me sad, don’t try to make up for a subpar series with one swing. shoot one up the middle.
love that comment!!! Tex hit the ball all the way south to Philly, give them a little dose of what’s to come! LOL
If Tex had hit a grand slam right there… would the umpires just end the game? A 6 run lead at home for Mo… would’ve been over, right? Why go through the formalities.
if tex strikes out, do they walk alex?
Tex swinging a bit too hard, just a good flyball to the outfield buddy!!!
“I fee bad for the Angels.”
————-
like Abreu wishing to face the Yanks and Hunter saying the Angels were going to win the series?
I only feel bad that the Yanks didn’t put them out of their misery sooner.
OMG !!!!
Thanks, Sterling. Still, it’s an RBI.
5-2
Anybody concerned about this long inning in regards to Mo?
He threw a lot of pitches last inning.
the Cleveland Brown’s used to be called the Cardiac Kids. The Yankees are taking ownership of that now!
I’ll take it.
Gardenhoser!
tex does the job…
that will do it
Good work, Tex!
TEX = My Hero!
The Ghost,
that swing was just fine, sac fly works!!!
man that looked like a slam
Damn, that was a doozie!! That’ll do the job!!!
wow, thought it was gone or an extra base hit
I like 5.
Who wants to bet the umps claim Gardner left early.
I just got ridiculously excited over that fly ball!!!
Wow the clincher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
man Sterling had the call on that one…. IT IS HIGH….
yada yada yada
Nice Job TEX
C’mon I want Gaudin to finish this game. Give me more runs!!!!
IT IS HIGH…IT IS FAR…IT IS CAUGHT!
thats a darn good paul oneil type AB Tex
Helluva a job by Tex. Helluva job.
that was a shot by Tex….gets the run in.
I’ll take it…3 runs for Mo in the 9th…#64 is looking good.
I am never concerned about mariano rivera….ever…
They almost hsve to walk Rodriguez.
Nice !
and sure enough, fox broadcast feed starts to suck..
is kazmir crying?
SAC FLY…again Joe get CC up…get some reserves up this has been a 45 minute inning…
Jesen to stop the bleeding.
Did Sterling do his HR call with that one?
Scioscia is going to get creamed for bringing Weaver in NOW.
since no one bit on my last attempt at a chant…
WE PLAY TODAY!!!!
WE WIN TODAY!!!!
—-
anyone?
i’m guessing they walk arod?
Eli Shmeeli, it’s a Yankee night!
The Fox announcers sound so sad…
Scosia wants MO to sit for as long as possible.
It’s his last play…
that’s a huge run, tex message indeed
World series here we come
Whos your daddy pedro
do we even have anyone up in the ‘pen in case this is too long for Mo?
They are going to IBB Arod and Jorge is going to come through now that is is garbage time.
Yes. At least if you walk A-Rod here, you don’t have to worry about Posada hitting into another DP.
on a warmer night…that probably would have been over the fence
Tex: takes ‘em with his glove, puts ‘em up with his bat. NICE!
Sterling needs to stop thinking every fly ball is a homerun.
A hit here, I’d think, would wrap up the MVP for Alex (assuming, of course, the Yanks win — I ain’t counting any chickens with this team).
terpbomber (not a bridge jumper) October 25th, 2009 at 11:44 pm
Thanks, Sterling. Still, it’s an RBI.
Hes gonna give me a heart attack one of these days
id like one more from arod– just for, a bill simmons would call it the “eff you” score.
Sterling is such a clown
Wow – good hit by Tex! Angels using Kazmir and Weaver??!!
they should walk arod to get to mr. double play ball.
Almost outta there!
5-2 Yankees. I have to leave, but I hope when I come back there will be espn highlights of champagne being sprayed all over. Hopefully they celebrate with the fans, who stuck with them through thick and thin, wet and cold.
Arod Vs Weaver….Hopefully = a Dinger
Denise, that was his natural swing, that’s what I want to see, good things happen when players stay within themselves. Arod for the icer!!!!
The 10 ft throw at 1st by Kazmir was great.
I love me some small ball runs.
Yankees kicked Kazmir’s bootay again!
i cannot wait to see the egg on that loser eric karros’ face.
Cmon Arodd !! put this game away
Weaver in to face Alex? what?
“do we even have anyone up in the ‘pen in case this is too long for Mo?”
Mo is there thinking, get as many as you can, I got 3 OUTS in me.
“Eli Shmeeli, it’s a Yankee night!”
========
No kidding, stop with the mid-season football talk.
It’s the freaking Yanks on the verge of clinching the pennant.
Why anybody would be flipping back the that game is beyond.
TIVO that crap!
JMere October 25th, 2009 at 11:45 pm
SAC FLY…again Joe get CC up…get some reserves up this has been a 45 minute inning…
I’ve been saying that all nite re: CC! most everyone thinks so conventional in here!
Erica, that may be the most exciting sac fly I’ve ever seen.
I bet Mo drinks Dos Equis
beyond me, that is
WE PLAY TODAY!!!!
WE WIN TODAY!!!!
My victory cigar is standing by.

That throw to first base was Kazmir’s best fastball in 2 months.
————————————–
Yes GB7 but I still don’t think it was a strike!
————————————————————
Yeah, it was just off the outside corner.
Now it’s time for A-Rod to put some icing on the cake.
“Scioscia is going to get creamed for bringing Weaver in NOW.”
———–
because he knew Kazmir would throw an easy throw to first into right field?
Kazmir got 2 bunt outs and got Jeter without giving up a run.
i know they want righty/righty matchup but kaz has always done real well against arod and arod dominates weaves i dont really get it
I will light a cigarette when Mo comes back out.
DASSIT!
Vader October 25th, 2009 at 11:47 pm
I bet Mo drinks Dos Equis
lol
Scioscia really putting all his eggs in one basket
Vin-
To think the Yankees won the WS with Mariano Duncan starting…
you think mo has awkward moments just to see how it feels and lives vicariously through himself?
sterling really blew that call with tex. He said “it is high it is far it is…caught?”
Can Posada make it 10 LOB for the game?
Has Mo coughed up a 3-run lead? Ever?
3 runs off Mo?
That usually takes about 3 post-seasons…
We play today!!!!
We win today!!!!!
Could Buck sound anymore depressed as he tossed it to commercial right there? His show is already going nowhere but considering that he films that embarrassment in NYC he should try a little harder not to alienate a huge part of HBOs market, I understand that as a Cardinal fan he doesnt like feeling like second fiddle in baseball, but tough stuff, that’s reality Joe and if you wanna work nationally you need to suck it up cus it’s pretty obvious how much you hate the Yankees…
DAS IT!!!!!
thanks Angel.
I felt like the only guy doing the wave there for awhile.
Just go and walk him.
well with 2 outs at least posada can not hit into a double play
Green light?
Sterling doing the 30 second semi apology thing now.
I really thought that was a grand slam. Deepest part of the ballpark. He hit it well.
valerie, it might be because I asked Brandon not to take the lord’s name in vain and Nick isn’t christian and he took offense to that. Not sure. Otherwise I can’t see why he would consider that being rude.
Unless of course he’s taking one of his gratuitous shots. I can never really figure out where he’s coming from. No big deal.
I am Barry Bonds
Are we allowed to call Angels players gutless?
Gutless Angels
MARIANO DUNCAN…some how is a living legend because of one SUPERB/EXCELLENT/FANTASTIC quote.
WE PLAY TODAY
WE WIN TODAY
DAS IT
What’s Arod’s OBP in this series?
jorge with the bases loaded again…redemption song?
there was no way Alex was getting a pitch to hit there, NO WAY!
I LOVE Dos Equis.. Hard to find out here sometimes though. Not a lot of bars carry it

In his defense, I thought it was gone too off the bat.
cue the crapper to first
they are scared to pitch to alex. Did we ever thought we would see the day.
“To think the Yankees won the WS with Mariano Duncan starting…”
I know. He hit .340 something that year too.
This is what can happen to pitchers away from their home parks in big situations…
Come on Jorge.
Put the dagger through the heart.
The intentional unintentional walk
Anyone notice that both innings the Yankees scored tonight were started by Joe playing small ball? Small ball wins championships, that’s been the real key to the Yankees success this year.
so for a lot of you, is this going to be your first world series ?
Normally I would root for a hit, but I just want to get this game and celebration over with so I can get some sleep.
good news for Jorge, the GIDP is impossible
This team need to get somebody going behind Arod. The Phillies will not pitch to him at all. At all!
Mo has to deal with the bottom of the order. I hope he is ready, not that I’m worried, lol.
how many runners has Jorge left on base tonight?
yanks have loaded the bases how many times?
is it possible to leave 10 men on by yourself in one game?
arod is tasting his first world series trip…he can’t wait…
Jorge one time boss…ONE FREAKING TIME
posada has been down right awful tonight.
oh man…. 3 outs away
it is not gutless…it is the right baseball move…
LOL… Robbie Cano playing peek-a-boo
Robby needs some skin lotion.
Sterling has had worse calls. That was really close to being gone.
>I bet Mo drinks Dos Equis
He once gave up a run just to see how it feels.
well Joe Buck just called WS between Phillies and Yankees! WOW
“jorge with the bases loaded again…redemption song?”
their all he ever has.

Nope. But I have never been able to attend a parade
trisha–i’m already confused lol. but i think we’re all on the same page of yankee fanship, and that’s nice. i’d like to think in the end, we’re all a family of yankee fans. okay, i’m tired. let me have my odd idealism.
Tex ups the total…
Kazmir cast aside, weaving…
A web for A-Rod?
I dont think Jorge’s gonna be able to enjoy tonight, he values being a contributor to the team and he knows that the team won despite him tonight, I think Jorge can use that for ammo for the WS, lets not bury him totally despite a terrible night at the plate…
Posada was 0-5 for the night,after everybody worried about Swisher not hitting!
Posada pretty awful, time is catching up with him
“In his defense, I thought it was gone too off the bat.”
Erica – I can take shower teases. But don’t homer tease me!!
Jorge showing his stellar receiver skills by letting Mo finally get back to work. 3 runs is enough, no?
“Anyone notice that both innings the Yankees scored tonight were started by Joe playing small ball? Small ball wins championships, that’s been the real key to the Yankees success this year.”
Ghost, Fran and I have our own email chat going on the side and that is exactly what we have talked about – the need to play small ball and get runners over.
Jorge…not so good.
Posada is such a dick!!
The longest inning here. FINISH’EM MO!

brutal night for posada, you hope mariano shuts it down tonight!
jorge stinks tonight..
they should have played molina tonight. ha,ha!
Money time
10 LOB.
Boy is he lucky the Yankees are winning.
Posada looks bad tonight. Lets just close this out.
Trisha: what do you know about my religious beliefs? Nothing. So stop. Can you not help yourself?
tex’s friend October 25th, 2009 at 11:51 pm
is it possible to leave 10 men on by yourself in one game?
apparently it is!!! what a disappointment Jorge has been tonite
wow. well maybe cervelli can hit the ball?
wow Jorge couldn’t even muster a crapper to first
Wow Posada.
Mo with a 3-run lead – who’s signing up for that?
I’m packing my bags for Game 1……
I think Molina could have done that
Absolutely awful night for Jorge 2 DP and a K? Where’s Cervelli?
Posada is a great catcher – doesn’t want to make his pitcher sit too long.
Enter Sandman is now playing
Jorge Posada = Arod Protection Fail.
“Posada is such a dick!!”
hahahahaha,
the guy who whines about playing leaves 10 on base. did he catch swisher’s disease?
Jorge 0′fer and leaving them on all night..
Here we go
Trisha talking religion now.
Care to talk politics too??
Watch the game instead of reading posts from 30 minutes ago!
GEEZ!!
Let’s do this MO!!!
disgraceful tonight from Posada
They were gutless in 2002 and if Baker was a good manager he brings in Nen in the 8th and they win just like they are gutless now and will lose this series
Posada comes through again.
Pitch us into the World Series, Mo. It’s been 6 years. Positive thoughts. 1-2-3.
I’m so nervous I might faint.
I’m so nervous I might faint.
3 outs. Just 3.
Rough night for Posada, tonight with the bat…but, he’s called all of the right pitches. Three outs and they can get ready to sweep Philadelphia in the first two games.
“Where’s Cervelli?”
On the bench, where he should be. Actually, he should be in Tampa or something – but that’s a different story.
3 mo! 3 mo!!!!
Posada = Sucks
0-4
left 11 men on base
Not mine. It’ll be my 7th, I think – if they go through.
I’d love to see the Yankees going down the Canyon of Heroes. I’ve never even tried to go. I’m not tall and probably wouldn’t see anything.
6 years ago seems like 20.
Here we go MO MO!!! MO MONEY!!! Now is the time!!!! No games!! 1-2-3! Lets play dem Phiting Phils!

I’m catholic and apparently I’ve sinned a few times tonite, said Good Lord and Praise the Lord a few times! then again, we’re all sinners though!
Yes Jorge had a bad game, but he was also one of the few hitting in most of the other games. Hopefully in 10 minutes no one will care what he did anyway
Do some of you really want Cervelli…seriously..I know posada had a bad game…but come on…seriously????really??
Enter Sandman is playing in the Angels head.. right about now.
GET’EM MO! This is for Joe and 2002 Yankees, And the 2005 Yankees… This has been a long time coming.
3 more!
molina will most likely only play 1 game in the series…he’s not playing in philly as we can’t afford molina AND the pitcher in the lineup.
All we need now is a 1-2-3 inning. This series needs a breather. None of those broken bat bloops that get guys on base as been Mo’s modus operandi.
I keep thinking of that song, “Why can’t we be friends?”
Cig lit.
Im ready.
im soo happy
I went to the parade in 96. Great time
Come on Mo – this why we all love ya! Go get ‘em.
2 mo!!!
2 more.
Rest doesn’t show so far!!!! HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!!!
Thank God for Making Mariano Rivera a Yankee.
With a closer who throws strikes and keeps the ball in the park 3 runs feels like 10.
2 OUTS TO GO!
6 years ago seems like 20.

When youv’e had to watch the Red Sux celebrate 2 championships, yeah it does.
So Jorge is the blog punching bag for tonight.

The blog is about to break.
MARIANO! MARIANO! MO MONEY!
that 1st pitch was a strike
Mariano chants
Pettitte – more postseason wins than any pitcher in baseball history. Nice.
Remember how the Angels “had their number”? Let’s savor this folks.
Count it!
Mo back where he belongs!!
Ump missed that first pitch, but other than that he’s been pretty steady this game. Gave both teams a little off the corners, but not too much.
Denise You knew the second out by about 1 full minute
And the clock strikes twelve…..
Back where WE BELONG- Midnight and the sands of
time running out on the Angels
CHALLENGE G MATH! MARIANO!!!
The Yankees win the pennant! The Yankees win the pennant!, etc., etc.

That’s a wrap.
Com’on Mo…Finish Him for #64
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE YANKEES AND ALL THE LOHUD PEOPLE ON HERE!

Game ends on Monday so we did have a game Monday!!!
Have a drink on me.

Joe would’ve batted him 8th tonight.
Well done Yankees.. Well done. We should all be thankful for our boys for getting it done, and also be thankful that we don’t have to see that effing rally monkey till next season.

Enjoy the party Christina.
the signature Derek Jeter arm raising cheer! how many commercials have we seen with that pose?
Everything turned out perfect. Yankees clinched at home, Pettitte got his record breaking 16th win, Mo got the save, and CC is ready for Game 1.

CONGRATULATIONS JOE GIRARDI!!!!!
Betcha Alex is MVP
C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S Andy #16,most in all the MLB!!
love jeter’s reaction to those dumb questions
ahahaha jeter just owned ken rosen squirrel
Stultus, somehow I’ve managed to tune it out for the most part (thank god)!
Hehe, Jeter calls out Rosenthal for the weaseling pessimist that he is, GO DJ! That’s my DJ!!!
Most wins in ST.
Most wins in the Regular Season.
Most wins in the Playoffs?
THE YANKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS WINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN…
new thread
co-mvp? alex and cc?
Eat a pile of brown covered with maggot flies California and Philly.
I cant tell if jeter is choked up or still just sick lol
when does Jeter not have the right thing to say? ever!
Congratulations to Andy Pettitte on another record for the post season with 16 wins.
64 = number of Mariano Rivera saves for Andy Pettitte wins
You have to love it!
It would be nice for a troll to show up just once and say –
I was wrong. Yanks played well. 2004 is long gone. Good Job.
But if they did that – they wouldn’t be trolls – they would have an ounce of class.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF CALI!!!!!! YANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKKSSSSSSSSSSS AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLIIIIIIIIOOOOOOSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How perfect is it that Andy started and Mo closed out the clinching game?
andy pettitte!!!!
…. and mo !!!!
classic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no other professional team in any sports has 2 let alone 4 guys together on the same team for 15 years!!! big reason why they are so special, so proud to be a Yankee fan
Fox is just a collection of a$%##@$% aren’t they? Jeter gets back to the WS for the first time in 6 years and a negative question. Rosenthal is just a tool
great image with arod + jeter + tex running to each other and embracing behind the mound…
… Pete, wish you were here to enjoy it with us…
Iv’e been waiting for this day since Beckett put us down back in 2003. 6 freakin years.
Congrats joe and the boys. Youv’e made us all proud.
4 more to go.
Where’d all those Yankee haters run off to? Gyao??
Arod made the difference from day one and we went through some tough losses but this our time I can feel in my bones.
Game to clinch the East: W-Pettitte, S-Rivera
Game to clinch the ALDS: W-Pettitte, S-Rivera
Game to clinch the ALCS: W-Pettitte, S-Rivera
Nice. Next stop, World Series.
http://www.coolstandings.com called it,Yankees in 6!!
Buck is sick,he has to praise the Yankees.
This means CC vs Cliff Lee game 1 baby!!
The demons of 2004 have been excorcised once and for all.
LOL, Lonn Trost, MONDO MIDGET!!! Good lord…
Joe Buck makes me think how much of hater he is with Hal Stanbreiner lets see this with Blouseberg.
Who gets MVP?
Hal!
Wasn’t Kenny Albert working the Steelers game earlier today?? God bless him, he’s clearly a Yankees fan who just wants to be there for the moment…
They are tearing the room up.
YES
kill the monkey… hey hey godbye angels you toilet water drinking bums
Yankees in 4. 1998
Yankees in 7. 1952
Hal did not look to happy. That looked like Bruney who got him.
CC’s THE MVP
CC! CC! CC! CC!
Prolly a good thing CC gets it, if A Rod got it he might get a feeling of accomplishment, its better if he still has a chip on his shoulder…
CC gets KFc tonight stay thirsty lardazz and win it all.
CC is the MVP! Well deserved
CC 1.12 ERA MVP AL 2009 Way to go big CC!!
Mike Bloomberg is a great mayor but he’s a known Red Sox fan, get off the stage!!!!
Congrats CC!
Eat a cheesesteak the Yankees are coming…
MVP to BLT… LMFAO he good but fat.
Posada squirting Champagne I can’t believe my eyes.
The rally monkey just tapped out.
Why did Arod ever think about what he meant to the Cuban people?
CC MVP, have no problem with that!
Can Cali just stop with their joke team this series was a jam and ham sandwich.. gggooood.
Congrats Yankees,well done!!
CC gets a watermelon and a hooker tonight if Im Joe Torre.
LOVE IT!!!!! FOUR MORE WINS!!!! GO YANKS!!!!
Yeah, Continue with more Joe Buck, you love it!!! Hehe
BTW, it seemed like Bloomberg was hanging around there just to get in a few victory shots or somehow be interviewed by the national media, I dont know why hes trying so hard for this election, its gonna be a landslide
Coolstandings.com has Yankees in 6 for the World Series now.
big middle finger to every single sportscaster and hater out their who can’t handle the Yankees being the best
Mike you’re the best manager in the league and you just made two terrible pitching replacements the last two games, Oliver for Lackey last game, and Kazmir for Oliver this game, I guess no manager’s perfect. But this guy’s showing a ton of class despite what just happened, still the best manager in the bigs…
What is up with the racism ?
Joe Buck and Timmy, no need to pack ur bags, you’re stayin put!!!!
This World Series is gonna be a classic folks!! And the Yankees we’ll definitely have a tough time of it but we’re gonna have a hell of a good time.
Yankees beat Scoscia at fundamental ball.He admitted on TV that the Yankees played better ball than the Angels.
1950 was the last time Yankees Phillies met in a World Series,McCarver was 9 yrs old,Yankees swept the series.
I’m so proud of Mo working 2 innings,and Joe making the right bullpen call.
Jeremy, gobbler really sounds like a class act. Just ignore his backward a#*!
Anyone else watching Mike Francesa, holy crap, that dude’s bright orange!!! Yikes…

Did you see that fake smile he had on the stage.
//big middle finger to every single sportscaster and hater out their who can’t handle the Yankees being the best//
Hey back at ‘cha for just wanting a championship that was bought! Boy that will be so satisfying…won’t it? I spend $100million more than the next team and I get a BIG fancy trophy for it. Congrats!
Go Phillies!
