TIME/TV: 3:10 p.m./FOX
UMPIRES: HP Adrian Johnson, 1B Tim McClelland, 2B Mike Everitt, 3B Andy Fletcher
WEATHER: Rainy and a little bit chilly, though the temperature is supposed to rise a little bit during the game and the rain seems to have pretty much stopped. It’s a pretty hit or miss kind of day.
A GOOD CATCH: Jorge Posada and Francisco Cervelli have combined for a .337 average while playing the catcher position. That’s the best average of any catching-combo in the American League and it’s fractionally behind the Cubs — also a .337 average — for the best in the majors.
THE NUMBERS GAME: Joe Girardi got rid of the number 27 this spring, but it’s been passed on to a pair of call-ups. First Greg Golson had the number, now Kevin Russo is wearing it.
GOOD COMPANY: At 23-years-old, Phil Hughes is the youngest Yankees starter to win his first four decision since 21-year-old Whitey Ford began the 1950 season with a 9-0 record.
UPDATE, 3:24 p.m.: Sorry about my mistake in the previous post. Sam was there for the Cashman interview about Johnson. He called up to the press box to tell me what was said, and I wrote the wrong thing when I typed it into the blog. Johnson has an inflamed tendon, not torn. That’s my bad.
UPDATE, 3:53 p.m.: Look at Ramiro Pena hitting like Robinson Cano. Lead-off double to the monster.
UPDATE, 4:01 p.m.: Isn’t it nice when the Nos. 3 and 4 hitters drive in runs? RBI singles from Teixeira and Rodriguez have given the Yankees a 2-0 lead.
UPDATE, 4:10 p.m.: I’ve watched Darnell McDonald play a whole lot of baseball in Triple-A. He’s not a star player, but he’s not a bad player either. His home run pulled the Red Sox within 2-1.
UPDATE, 4:12 p.m.: Francisco Cervelli was setup inside, but that still looked like a purpose pitch to Pedroia.
UPDATE, 4:16 p.m.: I can’t say for certain that Sabathia meant to hit Pedroia, but I know it just came back to hurt him. Martinez’s two-run home run has put the Red Sox in front 3-2.
UPDATE, 4:32 p.m.: Another big hit by Cervelli, who just tied the game with a single to center. He would have given the Yankees a lead, but McDonald made a good throw and Martinez did a great job blocking the plate to keep Randy Winn from scoring. It’s now a 3-3 game.
UPDATE, 4:51 p.m.: First pitch swinging, Mark Teixeira just went deep to give the Yankees a 4-3 lead.
UPDATE, 5:03 p.m.: Gazoo! Two-run single by Francisco Cervelli has put the Yankees in front 6-3. Randy Winn was thrown out between second and third, but that’s still a potentially huge swing in the game.
UPDATE, 5:17 p.m.: One strike from an official game and we’re officially in a rain delay. The sky just opened up like you wouldn’t believe. Nothing falling one moment. Absolute downpour the next. The Yankees are up 6-3 with two outs in the top of the fifth. Marco Scutaro is at first and Victor Martinez is at the plate with a 2-2 count. When the umps called for a delay, Sabathia stood on the mound and Cervelli stayed in his crouch for an extra second or two in obvious shock. Don’t get me wrong, it’s pouring, but that did seem like an odd time to make the call.
UPDATE, 5:41 p.m.: The rain has died down. It looks like they’ll be able to keep playing. No word yet on whether Sabathia will stay in the game.
UPDATE, 6:02 p.m.: Here comes the grounds crew. Looks like we could be close to getting started. Unless they’re just dumping the tarp.
UPDATE, 6:04 p.m.: Scheduled to re-start at 6:20.
UPDATE, 6:19 p.m.: Alfredo Aceves is getting loose in the bullpen. Looks like he’ll be the guy on the mound for the Yankees.
UPDATE, 6:25 p.m.: Little later than promised, we’re playing again. One hour and 14 minutes on the delay.
UPDATE, 6:37 p.m.: Have to give him credit. That was quite the turn by Pedroia.
UPDATE, 6:51 p.m.: Alfredo Aceves is the latest Yankee to go down with an injury. This has gotten absurd.
UPDATE, 7:16 p.m.: Teixeira hits his second home run of the season, then Swisher singles in Rodriguez. It’s now 8-3 Yankees. We could see Romulo Sanchez tonight.
UPDATE, 7:27 p.m.: Aceves has a stiff lower back. That’s a lingering problem for him. Doesn’t sound good.
UPDATE, 7:32 p.m.: For a while Dave Robertson was having a solid season with numbers exaggerated by a few really bad outings. At this point, though, he’s clearly struggling. Joba Chamberlain is in to face the middle of the order with one out and runners at first and second.
UPDATE, 8:00 p.m.: The Red Sox have outfielder Jonathan Van Every getting loose in their bullpen. It’s reached that point.
UPDATE, 8:03 p.m.: Kevin Russo in for his major league debut. He’s at second and Ramiro Pena has moved to third.
Go Yankees!
So Nick definitely has a torn tendon in the wrist?
Let’s hope no Yankee gets hurt during a game for a change.
Joelsherman1 Last nite, after game, 1 of Cano’s teammates told me he would play today: “He’s a lot tougher than u think and he loves to play.”
Crawdaddy,
RAB is crediting Chad with the info on the torn tendon. Chad says couple of weeks. RAB writer’s unmedical opinion is couple months.
This is the same lineup we won with last night basically. Pena can hit and field so I’m not worried about him!
I’ll be surprised if we don’t sweep.
… although it probably takes a miracle for that to happen nowadays.
I’m preparing myself for the worst.
Nick Johnson will be out “several weeks,” GM Brian Cashman said through a spokesman. Johnson’s MRI shows he has an inflamed tendon in his right wrist. He had a cortisone shot.
http://espn.go.com/blog/new-yo.....eral-weeks
Enjoy the game all! Here’s hoping for a cleanly played game.
“Greatest rivalry in sports”
GO YANKEES!
Any news about the weather?
Unless a lot of people are on the highway, the always-sold-out fenway doesn’t look very sold out!
“# CR9 May 8th, 2010 at 2:55 pm
Cant wait to hear Joe Buck and Tim McCarver wax poetic about Josh Beckett and the Red Sox today!”
I got the radio on: Suzy and John. Although they’re no better.
Corey, they say the game should be played. It looks overcast there but maybe the rain has stopped for good.
There’s a real gap between when a player can get back on the field from a wrist injury and when they can hit effectively again.
They are very difficult to recover from and to hit with any power after.
Johnson may have difficulty swinging the bat well for a while after his wrist is medically cleared.
Chad,
Please clear up what Cashman and the Yankees are saying about NJ’s injury. Is it an inflamed tendon or is it a torn tendon?
TY Trisha.
Cano is back!
I admit I am not his biggest fan, but the lineup looks a lot better with his presence.
Very sad.
I only can get SD TV for this game….
Any time Corey
CB
Barca up 1-0 early. Messi with an incredible goal. But even better, the commentator yelled so loud BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, it was unbelievably funny.
I’ve got to figure out how to put a video on youtube that I have on DVD.
No reason to debate the Matsui/Damon/Nick Johnson time line anymore. It is what it is at this point- Cash made a mistake. There was some negotiating in all of that and he came up short.
Wasn’t his first and won’t be his last.
That being said, I need to put this in the game thread:
CC will dominate this game, and A-rod is going yard. Yankees will win.
That is all.
double blackout. :grr:
oNE thing’s for certain. NJ’s season is Over. Even if he comes back he won’t hit more than .160 like where he’s now.
V Martinez= stolen base opportunities!!
Lets go Yankees!!!
Let’s just get it out of the way early:
Joe: “Tim, what do you think of CC?”
Tim: “Well, that was a breaking ball in a fastball count and you want to get beat on your best pitch. Now CC stands for Carsten Charles and the Charles is a river near Fenway Park so it’s only fitting that “CC” would be pitching for Boston. Beg your pardon, in Boston.”
Did I forget anything?
yeah, I REALLY wanna see A-Rod going yard.
seriously, what’s wrong with him?
CR9-
I saw that. Going to have to multitask today. It was wonderful. Incomparable first touch. Beautiful ball by Maxwell.
He is going yard today. His swing is starting to heat up.
CC is going to dominate this game.
still no Posada,
I am waiting for his next infield hit
If Nick Johnson’s injury is a full tear of a tendon in his wrist, the Yankees should consider themselves fortunate if he can return after the All-Star break.
I’m not even sure a tendon can heal on its own. But a tear of either tendon or ligament in a hitter’s wrist is a severe injury.
Johson’s wrist problems have plagued him his entire career.
Tomorrow night, AJ WILL hit Youklis or Pedroia.
“For it is written, vengeance is mine; I will repay saith the Lord.”– Romans 12:19
Who has more strikeouts,
Jeter or Austin Jackson?
“No reason to debate the Matsui/Damon/Nick Johnson time line anymore. It is what it is at this point- Cash made a mistake. There was some negotiating in all of that and he came up short. Wasn’t his first and won’t be his last.”
Well put. To that end, I’ll be maintaining a period of radio silence on the subject.
Scutaro is such a pest. Always has been
Very nice, Jeter.
McCarver calling that an E-5
lol V mart
speed kills
Too bad Pedroia saved the error. GJ, GGBG.
Nice throw Victor.
wow I was totally wrong. I thought jeter would have like 25 strikeouts. only 12.
Martinez looked awful trying to throw out Brett. He really rushed that. Brett is in their heads.
don’t DP here
Please double steal
double steal
double steal
damn what a rally killer tex
Laura-
I agree. You and I were pretty much on the same page from the beginning.
damn, I think May is Tex’s month, guess I am wrong.
He is NOT coming out from Apr slump.
Is Tex ever going to get hot?
well, that’s what we get for not stealing
Come on tex
“Nothing routine about that play by Pedroia” – Tim McCarver
Nothing routine? He is doing his job. Learn it in little league
Jeter should of went to third I dont think he thought Vmart would even make an attempt at a throw. Rare lapse by Derek
Tex will probably stay at < 0.160 all season long. wanna bet?
They just keep cleaning Pedroia. There was nobody at third. It would have been nearly impossible for Pedroia to throw to Buchholz while Buchholz was running to cover 3rd. Jeter could have made it there.
You’d think that the Red Sox were the defending champions by the way Joe and Tim are talking.
And they are not even mentioning what Beckett did last night. As if it never happened.
Because see, the Sux rotation is all that and a bag of chips and they’ll annihilate the Yankees since the Sux have a very good offense.
at end of season.
they will pitch around a-rod, and see what cano can do
HOW IS A-ROD GOING TO GO YARD IF THIS WUSS DOESN’T THROW HIM STRIKES??????
# PL May 8th, 2010 at 3:16 pm
Jeter should of went to third I dont think he thought Vmart would even make an attempt at a throw. Rare lapse by Derek
PL- Do you watch the game? Jeter was on his way to 3rd when Pedroia made a great play to back up the errant throw. He would have been DEAD at 3rd.
another easy inning for bucholtz. ugh..
Cheap strike 1.
I hate Tim McCarver.
Early on Buchholz is throwing from very over the top. This is closer to the arm slot he throws out of when he’s less effective.
His fastball is flat.
If he doesn’t adjust the yankees are going to hit him.
Nice BS strike call to Cano
LOL, that pitch was HIGH
Now is the time for Cano to retaliate by hitting one out.
CR9 – they just mentioned it. “It is simply…not the case.”
ty May 8th, 2010 at 3:18 pm
another easy inning for bucholtz. ugh..
************
Except he is now seeing his 5th batter asd the inning continues.
Go away troll!
Girardi gets me depressed for how he refuses to take advantage of Martinez’ ineptitude behind the plate. Jeter could have walked to third on a DS
McCarver its not about it being on purpose. Its about protecting your teammates. Maybe you have forgotten but you played with Bob Gibson and I’m sure he protected his teammates.
McCarver and Buck are revolting. They make it sound like Beckett was a hero lost his stuff.
dammit Tex
So the Sox have a new CF? McDaniel?
Joe Buck makes my ears bleed!
that dp was such a rally killer.
“another easy inning for bucholtz. ugh..”
there really wasnt anything easy about that inning…tex let him off the hook
McCarver caught guys who had no problem drilling batters to force runners in with the bases loaded.
And yet it’s simply not the case.
But Joba Chamberlain throws behind Youkilis and it was intentional. They called Joba a headhunter.
McCarver is awful.
PL- Do you watch the game? Jeter was on his way to 3rd when Pedroia made a great play to back up the errant throw. He would have been DEAD at 3rd.
Are you on kidding man. there was no one covering third!!!!!!!!! Bucholz wasnt there Pedroia would have had to hit him on the run. Open your eyes bro
at which inning will Joe Buck mention Yankees’ payroll?
I guess it’s 3rd or 4th.
As good as Tex is how can he look this bad for so long? Its like an automatic out everytime he is up?
“His fastball is flat.”
————
CB,
I thought some of his fastballs had decent downward sinking movement. I could be seeing things but they didn’t look as flat as they have in the past.
Victor Martinez had a nice night last night?
He came in when the game was out of hand.
HELLO!!!!!!!!!!
JZ
I guess in this inning.
Boston apparently is everything good in the world – miraculous plays and a team on the verge of breaking out.
Cano is back to his old tricks with RISP… Part of me was thinking that Cano was heading for a slump these past couple of games and could use some time off.
CC is about to take a big fat dump on the Red Sox.
Joe needs to start sending the runners. V mart can’t throw anyone out.
Did anyone just hear that sick perverted laugh from McCarver! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah payroll comment incoming
Buchholz is not accustomed to anything but failure, but we dont hear that.
But CC is not accustomed to success early in the season.
I’m sure somehow that fly out by Pedroia demonstrates on of his heroic qualities
Oh, I’m so glad Fox is blacked out today. McCarver must be insufferable.
Thats not a strike?
CC looks sharp..
Thats the same spot that Buchholz received as a STRIKE!!!!!!!!!!!
BD-
He’s throwing on a downward plane but the fastball doesn’t have as much life as when he’s more 3/4.
His arm slot doesn’t stay stable so we’ll see.
But what happens with him is that if he loses some of the downward plane the fastball becomes very easy to hit.
“there really wasnt anything easy about that inning?tex let him off the hook”
Agree Ralphie. Bucholz when he is on doesn’t have baserunners, especially in the first.
good inning CC..
now THATS an easy inning
Joe Buck sounded exciting hoping that Victor Martinez blooper would drop in!
Nice inning by CC.
# CR9 May 8th, 2010 at 3:26 pm
Joe Buck sounded exciting hoping that Victor Martinez blooper would drop in!
Haha he did Gardner had that all the way
CC looked very good there. He had that nice downwards plane on the fastball and that’s the key to his stuff.
C.C is going to have a big game today, you can feel it and see it.
Bottom of the lineup time, a little more magic today??
Lets go Yankees…..
Cano could use some time off? Tex is going to hit .160 all year?
I see this place is full of morons today.
It’s a shame children don’t play outdoors anymore.
It would help their brainpower.
Can we please get something against bucholtz?
What gets me is how Buck and McCarver subliminally take crap. If they just came out and said “we despise the Yankees and are going to hate on them any chance we can get” I wouldn’t mind as much.
Bore me to pieces now, if I must listen to Buck…puking.
talk* not take
These guys should go back to the Cardinals and broadcast for them.
THe Truth
I wholeheartedly agree. If they came out and were honest, I wouldnt mind them.
I was standing next to Daniel Bard last night and that dude is tall. I’m not sure what he’s listed at but he looked like a skinny giant.
I started wondering if Brackman can ever turn it around. He could be a similar imposing presence from the bullpen.
Tex is 2 for his last 16.
This is a game between the Yankees and Red Sox, and we are seeing stuff about the Rays. And no James Shields on their list, either.
Turn down voume, turn on John and Suzyn, Buck/McCarver solved.
Listening on mlb audio, it’s a bit ahead of the Fox video but I kind of like that. If something bad is going to happen, I don’t have to watch.
Just watch SJ44, He’ll be under .300 before he starts hitting again. But of course morons like you will just blame it on his bum knee.
Buchholz doesnt have great command today
That good Buchholz changeup??
The radar said 94
Rays can not be stopped – Buck/Mcgarver
What do the 1984 Tigers have anything to do with anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have the solution for everyone with an SAP button or IO digital cable. Turn on the SAP button and you hear no announcers just the sounds of the game as if you were there. It’s beautiful
Is CC going 7 or 8 today? That is the only thing I can’t decide.
“Buchholz doesnt have great command today”
It’s the arm slot. He loses command when he’s more over the top.
Now he’s excited announcing who is coming up next inning! This Buck IS SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jim,
Have mommy make you some hot chocolate and calm down.
Your baseball IQ leaves a lot to be desired.
He can’t throw any of his offspeed stuff for strikes early, yankees need to look fastball and spit on everything else.
Pukilous looks like a lumber jack
Bwahaha, every time I see Cerevelli’s bating hat!
Youkilis looks and acts like a homicidal maniac, not a lumberjack!
Barca lead 2-0. That match is over!
My brother just texted me that he bet on Cervelli making an out on a live pitch-by-pitch betting site.
But he promised no more anti-Yankee bets.
Lowell is the scariest batter in this lineup
PL-
Great find on the SAP button!
Had enough of Buck/McCarver already
Where’s that PITCH!! A strike for Buchholz, no doubt!!
Timo,
I am now listening to John and Suzyn.
Does Johan Santana ever go 8 or 9 innings in a game? Weak
Today’s game, Bucholz > Phil Hughes
Where are these pitches????????????????
Where was that pitch?????????
Gotta get a bat, Johnson’s finished, he only has a 1 yr deal no reason to wait on him, even if he comes back he’ll get hurt again. Cashman blew this one, fell in love with a statistic(obp) instead of a player. Sometimes you have to access intangibles. Johnson is a wimp, has no power, no speed, not a tough guy or clutch player, big mistake but we’re the Yankees and can fix these small $5.5m 1 yr mistake.
SJ44, your just an ignorant homer. If you actually watched the Yankees as a fan of baseball and not blinded by hero worship you’d remember that Cano’s entire career has been feast or famine. What? Because Hideki Matsui was sent packing and Cano’s been elevated to #5 he’s going to change?
Such BS
Youkilis needs to get on Sunday.
All 3 balls were strikes.
Lumberjacks everywhere would be offended.
I wonder if pitchers are pitching Tex differently, he looks horrible, I thought he was getting out of it.
former Yankee player here! Hi Everybody!
Got to go now, take care!!!
What I don’t understand is why Nick didn’t say anything about this – he’s been having issues for weeks, apparently. Dumb.
They cheated CC out of a hit. CC had to lay that one right down the middle.
Miranda would kill as a DH
Where was that pitch????????????
well, buchholz looking sharper than CC
CC getting cheated out of strikes.
Lowell you are truly a Yankee killer
These 2 sickos are putrid. Talking about how Manny supposedly acted his way off the Red Sox.
This entire game is all about the Red Sox.
I should have said Youkilis needs to get hit.
Lowell is a certified Yankee killer. He’s the reason I root for Ortiz to get at least one hard single in every game they play against the Yankees because I NEVER want to see Lowell up.
The Red Sox got no offense.
The Red Sox offense can’t hit good pitchers.
CB, how would you compare Buchholz to Phil? Clay definitely throws hard and has a great change up and a good/very good curve, but that’s as much as I know about him.
big K
The Red Sox can’t score against good pitchers.
LOL.
gotta keep the ball down to Beltre
DP coming up if he does
Squeezing CC yet giving laptops everything
The umps now how badly CC dominates the Sawx, so to make up for it he is getting squeezed
Betsy, my opinion is that Buchholz has very good offspeed stuff but doesn’t have close to the command/control of his pitches as Hughes. Especially the fastball. He could dominate pitching backwards in the minors, but didn’t have quite the same success in the Majors.
Hughes had great command of a fastball and a very good curve.
Buchholz had velocity but no command and good offspeed stuff.
BEAUTY!!!
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you, thank you!
beautiful!
CC is getting a completely different zone than Buchholz. Buchholz has already had called strikes further outside than some of CC’s balls…
Is this game on the net anywhere?? FOX on my Directv has technical difficulties….UGH!!!!!!!
You could see that double play just coming with the RH batter up.
They were not going to score off CC
Nice DP, guys. Way to wiggle, CC.
Jennry Mejia?
(the shock is just at the name)
I love when the Sox trolls and homers come on this board and say that Cano stinks and that Phil is not as good as Clay. Hello ! The stats don’t back up thos claims.
Jerkface
That’s just the way it is. And the way it always will be.
Our ace against their lowlife putrid laptop stealing thug, and they are still getting the calls.
Maybe your boss wouldn’t be so frightening if you didn’t groom yourself like some unemployed hipster.
I really HATE to accuse umps of anything, but I just got back – are they really squeezing CC or are they just incompetent?
Betsy
PLEASE!!!! They are cheating us bottom line!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Betsy,
I didn’t think they squeezed CC. He got a call on a close pitch on the outside corner to JD Drew.
awesome no SAP needed
If only they maintained this moment of silence for the entire game.
I like when Sawx trolls come here, then when the Yankees dominate the Sawx it just makes them look stupid
connorf
AGREED!!
Yea Pena
awesome Pena
nice hitting pena!
EL NINO!
Way to go NINO!
Jeremy,
it’s classic isn’t it? Fourth place team, going nowhere this year, and they are talking gibberish.
This, after their “big game” pitcher wet all over himself yesterday and got his team blown out.
Comedy at it’s finest.
This moment of silence is awesome on so many levels its not even funny
Yanks hit a double, Fox went dead.
And Ramiro Pena raps a double off the monster….
How can we keep this the whole game?
That’s how you abuse the wall, Nino.
Bill Hall did not seem to play that well.
Betsy,
You are a sweetheart and mean well, but CC is pitching today…not Phil. We talked about Hughes for hours last night, and all of us told you how great Hughes is doing, etc.
the game is so much better during this moment of silence
go figure
Second time through the order.
The game begins for Clay
Here here, connorf!
this is one long moment of silence…
LOL, Fox is a joke
# Brian May 8th, 2010 at 3:49 pm
How can we keep this the whole game?
SAP my friend
The question is, how long can the big EGO joe buck keep his mouth shut.
Ramon!
Betsy not cb, but I will answer about the difference between Phil and Buchholz.
Phil was always thought of more highly because of his fastball command that he showed in the minors, when he has that, he can be an ace. We are seeing him return to that 2006 form in front of our eyes.
The other guy has good stuff, throws hard, but has never showed consistent command of his fastball. When he has it, he can dominate, but to me he is a AJ type guy with not as good stuff.
They’ve definitely gone to get food.
Time for some magic
Can we please score off this fool named after a soil type ?? !!
never knew much about Harwell but I have found a deep love for the man for his ability to shut McCarver up.
This is great . No talking from the two clowns.
how long is a “moment”?
dont get me wrong, I’m enjoying it, but if the Red Sox were threatening with a man on, I wonder if they could contain their excitement and break the silence.
Notice how buccholz’s pace slows once a man gets on.
With all due respect to Ernie Harwell and Robin Roberts…..may they RIP….but this moment of silence is awesome.
I like this moment of silence. no talking.
CR, you can think that way if you want to, but it seems to be a miserable way to go through life. Every time the Yankees get a bad call it’s because the umps are cheaters and Sox fans? I don’t need to be lectured, by the way.
That wasn’t a moment of silence-
That was a long bathroom break
UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They immediately had to start talking again after we got 2 runners on.
I bet the plan was to not speak for the entire inning.
But they scrapped that plan.
Please steal and stay out of the double play !
BD, thanks! Jerkface is not prone to making wild statements, so I was a bit concerned when I saw he posted that Clay was getting pitches that CC wasn’t.
good job gardy…come on tex!
Just hit a fly ball Tex
All hail the almighty Bucholz!! So now we’ve seen two of the cream rotation. Anyone want to talk about how very good their rotation is?
Come on Tex stay back here, drive the ball where it is pitched.
“Notice how buccholz’s pace slows once a man gets on.”
—————-
absolutely.
I’ve seen him make mental mistakes and miss location time and time again in his young career with men on base.
It’s one of his biggest criticisms.
Great bunt
best 3 minutes in FOX baseball broadcasting history.
These strike calls are getting insane
Really??
that was not a strike!
Betsy,
of course strike 1 to Tex was low and inside
You asked a question, Betsy. I gave you the right answer!
THATS NOT A STRIKE.
And for you to talk about “miserable way to go through life?”
I dont complain about the umpires every game, btw.

Not that I am unconfident in the Yankees hitting abilities, but how about we wait until we actually score some runs to declare this?
what a horrendous 0-2 pitch to tex!
wow.

Okay, now feel free
Two good bunts by Gardner – Doing the job
Tyrannus Tex gets a hit!
good! I agree that’s a careless pitch
Buccholz with the flat fastball to tex.
That was going to happen from the first inning.
It was only a matter of time.
“to a struggling Teixeira…”
Betsy right there you saw how this guys fastball command is why he will never be an ace.
0-2 fastball and he misses his spot by a lot.
Come on Alex.
Good hit Tex..
pitch around and take a chance on cano
So far Buchholz has had 4 pitches called strikes outside of the zone.
CC has none.
Erica, we didn’t declare it, I did. And I usually declare what I feel to be the truth as soon as I feel it to be the truth. However, I invite others to wait until they are comfortable!
CB,
I can’t understand throwing a fastball at all.
It’s almost as if he perfectly set Tex up for the changeup or a pitch in the dirt on 0-2.
puzzling.
Anyone see Brett step on the mound on his way back? And no freak out!
I think Buckholtz has a million dollar arm and ten cent brain. That was a ridiculous pitch to a guy who has been swinging at EVERYTHING.
SAS, give me a break. Who’s pitching for the Sox today? Buchholz, right? Well I asked because I wanted to know about HIM. I already know about Phil – why would I ask about him? These two are always going to be compared to each other so I was curious. If you want to talk about CC, feel free.
Red Sox trolls are like Beckett. They are one big mass of insecurity and they try to cover it up with big talk.
“what a horrendous 0-2 pitch to tex!”

That’s what happens when the stuff is flat. He lost that downward plane and the ball just sat there waiting to be hit.
Compare that pitch to strike on on Alex which had a sharp downwards plane.
But you can’t live up and down alone on the fastball
ARod needs that 1-1 pitch back. a little late on the fastball but that was hittable.
Run prevention scores!
run prevention!
Yes!!!!!!
Jason, thank you for answering the question and not getting your back up about it; I appreciate it
hows that improved D going..Nice O Lay Beltre
Pitching and Defense
Awesome!!!
More run prevention?
Run prevention at it’s finest by Adrian Beltre
You know you want to make a ‘run prevention’ joke. You know know.
Oh wait.
that was a bullet…. but Beltre has been very poor in the field this season so far.
he was considered one of the best fielding 3b in the game.
not only has he not been great so far, he’s been below average.
Cano
Where’s all this great Beltre defense they kept telling us about?
Cano
Why cano? Let him try to throw strikes.
Cano swing at the first!! grrrrrrrrrrrr
nice 2 to 0 lead, but cano has hit a slump
I wouldn’t be surprised if Beltre’s family has a lot of pictures of sequined regaled costumes of family members on the walls.
When did we become a station-to-station team? What happened to your homerun power, A-Rod?
Betsy
I defend you time and again. I dont appreciate you dismissing my points of view as “leading a miserable life.” You do not have to agree with me. But the least you can do is take my points of view into consideration.

Where’s all this great Beltre defense they kept telling us about?
Mike Lowell stole it
Cano was due for a slump. This is where Alex and Tex need to pick him up
Beltre has actually been really good ‘range wise’ at third this season, but he has botched a number of easy plays.
Robbie did the same thing last night, one AB – swung at the first pitch from a pitcher on the ropes. He’s a bit anxious. He’ll calm down and start hitting again.
I’m nervous again. I don’t like the way Beckett is looking at our players across the field. He looks like he wants to do something bad.
Robi’s off, glad he’s playing but his timing on thweight shift is off, definitely must be his knee smarting.
“I can’t understand throwing a fastball at all.”
BD-
Not entirely sure but I think Clay was trying to go fastball in to set up the next pitch which would have been change away. That’s how teams pitch to Tex over and over.
He didn’t bust the fastball in enough however and it got hit. It’s command.
I think that’s what happened though I’d need to watch it again.
It is a shame that Vladimir Guerrero can steal against them, but we can’t.
Robby in a little slump now down to 349….. But Great to see Arod and Tex starting to drive in some runners especially with all the guys in this lineup missing. If they start clicking this team will be an absolute monster.
It’s obvious Cano is not comfortable today. I applaud him for suiting up and being there for the team
No problem Betsy.
I love Robbie, and I respect him gutting this out, but playing him today not sure how great an idea it was.
His bat looked slow last night anyway, I would have rested him, I know why with all the injuries Joe did not, but anyway, 2-0 is something we can work with.
Come on C.C..
CR9-
You constantly make your point of view known. And its always the same point of view. We have all taken it into consideration. By Game 29 of you calling the umpires cheaters we all understand exactly what your point of view is.
Where was that pitch?????????????????????????????????????????????/
CR, you defend me a lot and I appreciate it; I did not mean to dismiss your opinions, but I completely disagree with you…….. I’m sorry if I came off like that.
Robby has been struggling in May (no biggie) and he was hurt pretty badly yesterday; I have to give him a break if he has a rough day.
Jim
Tex is coming out of his slump
You see SJ44, when Cano is ON he hits that pitch off the monster. But when he’s off he tries to pull everything and that’s when he slumps. An astute baseball person will notice these things about players. Children like you believe all the articles they read about their heroes.
Jason, I probably would have rested Robby, too – it seems that Joe went away from his “if they’re ready, give ‘em another day or two” philosophy.
“I think Clay was trying to go fastball in to set up the next pitch which would have been change away”
—————
that’s probably the case, but he definitely missed badly.
You can sometimes lose a game on just 1-2 bad mistakes like those ones.
I would also be interested in any comparison between Buccholz & Hughes. They’re going to be compared for years to come, unless the Sox trade him to San Diego.
CB,
One thing I noticed was Hughes was working fast. Suzyn mentioned it on the broadcast, but seeing it for my own eyes was a very pleasant surprise. I know these Sox pitchers are trying to break up the rhythm of runners on base, but seriously.
Bill Hall and Darnell McDonald…. what a combo.
hopefully we don’t see Hall tomorrow, he’s King of the pink bat swing.
SAS, I know what you mean. Let’s talk about CC today.
I really hate this Darnell Mcdonald guy. I hope he gets injured.
Erica
And I have read your point of view on the Golden Girls, cookies, and the Muppet Babies!!! Every time I read them, I enjoy them. And even if I did not, I would not attack your right to post them here.
There is no need to attack me. I live a very happy life, outside of the time I watching my sports teams.
Time to get back to focusing on the game.
WE DIDNT HEAR A WORD ABOUT BRETT GARDNER, but about Ron McDonald we do.
Brush it off CC
What a funny koke McCarver.. Mile High McCarver> Pryor
Oh, look. It’s a long pop out anywhere else in the world.
=/
Blunt Erica is fun
Why are you giving Darnell mcRuth fastballs?
What a funny joke McCarver.. Mile High McCarver> Pryor
The guy is a former PED user and a crub like Nick Green
The guy is a former PED user and a scrub like Nick Green
McDonald is this years Nick Green…. playing way above his head right now… Its really a nice story though even though he’s a sock….. career minor leaguer still earning a nice major league paycheck
McDonald is this years Nick Green…. playing way above his head right now… Its really a nice story though even though he’s a sock….. career minor leaguer still earning a nice major league paycheck
M, he works that way all the time now; I think it’s because he’s so confident. As Joel Sherman put it (the great Joel Sherman), Phil wants to throw the ball right away because he completely believes in it. LOL you barely have time to catch your breath before he’s ready to throw the next pitch…
Where are these pitches??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
They had Buchholz on the ropes and bailed him out. Cano didn’t look right on that swing. He looked tentative.
Jeremy, you hope he gets injured? I know you can’t mean that….
You can tell this sick maniac Buck was hoping for that to drop in.
CB
Wouldn’t you think that tentativeness would be attributed to his knee…. He probably doesnt have that same base and confidence in it?
This umps strikezone is horrible.
Cano shouldn’t be in the game….but who knows? Maybe next time up he’ll kill the ball………….I’m still thinking he was rushed.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO YEA
Well what do you know.
Well….
This weekend would be the weekend for Yankee fans to give their impressions of the Sux because they are actually watching them. I’ve heard so many accolades come from this forum in the name of the Sux and they are a 4th place team. I’d be interested to hear what people think of them now after actually watching them.
I heart CC
That was a foot or 2 low.
That was clearly not intentional.
He got hit in the rump.
Buck and McCarver: That had purpose!
good hit!
Everyone feel better now
lol. Too bad it wasn’t Pedroia.
MLB Gameday has that fastball at 98mph
nice
SHUT THE F UP MCCARVER
Triple short of a Cycle May 8th, 2010 at 4:03 pm
Blunt Erica is fun
************
LOL. I have been told that.
People enjoy that of mine that they never know what I will blurt out
These 2 sick pigs.
LOL..why would he hit him w/ 2 outs?
http://www.nydailynews.com/spo....._east.html
Wow, lol…….The Rays are scary good, but the Yankees are exactly 1 game back in the loss column. I have an idea – let’s give up on the season and fight for the wild card.
*rolls eyes at Tim McCarver*
98 right at him! Atta Boy CC! That should put an end to this nonsense that the Red Sox started.
Will this old piece of crap McCaver shut the hell up and go back to the nursing home.
LOL..why would he hit him w/ 2 outs and Martinez the next batter FOX?
Kept it low.
Of course it was “unintentional”
Why put a batter on in that situation…blah,blah.blah etc. etc.
Funny how MR old school complained about Arod walking across the mound yet the old school reaction to what CC did would have been the same thing
To Dustin’s credit are you kidding me
damn, hit one more
CC did that professionally. And look at pedroia’s reaction. He wasn’t surprised.
And he knew it was going to come because of what beckett did.
That’s pedroia putting the responsibility on beckett
So Becketts insanity was all accidental but for sure Cc hit him on purpose????!!???
Pedroia looks like the good guy here, just walking to first base.
And Jeter and every Yankee that got hit last night, gets no credit whatsoever.
Brandon,
Exactly. Wasn’t intentional at all even though he did crank it up to 98 on that one.
Listen to what McCarver is saying. He doesn’t think it was intentional because of what CC said last night.
Question, with a 2-1 in score, was it intentional?
Obviously only CC knows the answer.
CR9-
I didn’t attack you. I didn’t name call and I didn’t condescend like others do.
I was just letting you know that people are paying attention to your point of view
I see that SJ has his little fan club tagging along behind him.
Oops, totally meant to say too bad wasn’t Youkilis.
McCarver needs to shut up and call the game.
Sort of like when AJ hit Nelson Cruz last year – Cruz didn’t utter a word and, in fact, exonerated AJ after the game.
That was payback.
Now you go back to playing baseball.
Tim McCarver makes me want to throw up!.. CC intentional, but Beckett last night nothing intentional…
McCarver is completely lost.
Because it was Cano who was hit the worst, Pedroa is the logical choice.
Erica
I know you did not. I was referring to the previous condescending post of Betsy’s. Of which she said she didnt mean!
It’s over.
It’s time to pummel these pieces of carcillo red sox
To Dustin’s credit he didn’t run back into his Hobbit hole.
“That was clearly not intentional.
He got hit in the rump.”
————————————
It was intentional. He hit him in the “rump” because CC is not a scumbag like Beckett. He is not going out there trying to hurt people. That takes it too far.
Dang ! Will Buck shut the hell up !
joe buck is so bisased…he should not be the broadcaster for these games, its so annoying
lol o lord….Payback just bit the yankees…Very classy and unbiased
I’m pretty sure CC wouldn’t intentionally hit somebody with 2 outs nobody on in a 1 run game to bring up V-Mart the 3 hitter even if it is only the 3rd inning.
Umm…….
There must be glee in the Fox booth.
This is absurd.
And Joe Buck is happy.
Payback bit the Yankees.
One HBP in the backside is hardly payback for what happened last night.
you just knew that was going to happen
cc has imploded
Buck and McCarver are jumping for joy.
I guess VMart is getting his swing back. Quite a shot.
Damn .. Here come the told you so comments by Buck and Mcgarver
“Everyone feel better now”
I hope so Pat because this is what of course you wouldn’t want to happen, and now all the posters who couldn’t rest until one of the Sux got hurt should just sit back and smile, happy that it happened.
Big deal….
Yankee offense will take care of it and we will win by atleast 3 runs.
It is only the third inning.
I have to say CC sucks in this inning
Oh CC not looking good at all right now.. Two meat pitches to Darnell and now Martinez
So Becketts insanity was all accidental but for sure Cc hit him on purpose????!!???
**************************************************************
Yeah, not following Tim McCarver’s logic with that one. But then logic doesn’t appear to be his strong point. So hardly surprising.
That really taught them a lesson
No worries CC just limit the damage
I was not condescending, CR – I was apologizing for maybe wording my comments wrong, but not for the tone. This is a very silly argument.
“Buck and McCarver are jumping for joy.”
The moment of silence over thier commentary.
They hurt us. We hit a guy in the backside. And once again, we look like the fools.
If you’re going to get ‘payback’ hit them in the head and make it count.
we will easily pick up CC…Boston has no heart and we have ALL THE GOODS !
“Payback in the form of a mortgage!”
I’ll send that one to the Frick committee.
Some of CC’s changeups have been up in the zone and his fastballs have been inconsistently placed.
He needs to settle down. His stuff is better than these hitters. Just need to locate.
Keep it simple CC.
should have hit Youklis too
So why is Buck openly rooting for Boston?
3-2 game is nothing. Still a lot of baseball to be played.
That doesn’t make CC look too smart…
CC lost his focus this entire inning.
He may have been thinking about pedroia’s at bat the entire inning.
Can’t do that. It proves nothing.
settle down CC…these are the Red Sox….they are LOSERS !
Happy everybody? Yankees might lose the game but you got your retribution.
Just amazing.
(Not that I believe they will lose but talk about penny wise and pound foolish…)
i feel like im watching this fuing game on NESN, yet is a national broadcast game…
I guess old school rules don’t apply when the Yanks do it
Mike Lowell NOOO
THEY ARE NOT EVEN MENTIONING that CC has lost control.
Do you think CC can whip a pitch into the Fox Broadcasting Booth?
This ump sucks. He gives everything to that loser Clay but nothing to the Sabathia.
And will McCaver just quit. Got to the nursing home.
Barely disguised schadenfreude in the Fox booth…
CC with no control today even the strikes end up in the middle of the zone.
MY GOD STFU, IT WASN’T ON PURPOSE!!!!
It was 2 outs w/ a 1 run lead and these pieces of craps think he’s docking a sure out to put someone on vs a dangerous power hitter?
We’re the fools as usual.
Joe and Tim are having a field day making us look like the fools.
3-2 game and folks are panicking. lol.
Too funny.
And that’s why u hit guys up 10-2 not 2-1. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb
Joe Buck is a fruitcake
CC is on pitch 26 in this inning with a walk. Why couldn’t he wait to hit when he was in the 7th, he’d be leaving anyway?
I love how these FOX announcers think CC hitting Pedroia might have woken the Red Sox up.
If Beckett wetting the bed didn’t already wake the team up, the Sox would have serious problems. Also, this 4 pitch walk to Youkilis only means that the Sox have 2 dangerous hitters (VMart and Youk) and Sabathia isn’t going to get beaten by both.
Happy everybody? Yankees might lose the game but you got your retribution.
Just amazing.
***********************************
this is as bad an inning as I’ve ever seen CC pitch, he is just all over the place. This is not one of his best games, probably one of those he will want to forget. At the same time, he will probably settle in a go at least 7 with 4 runs or less
The HBP isn’t what rattled CC, he has already been shaky this inning. His ball to Darnell was down the middle. As was the V-mart HR. He just doesn’t have command right now, which makes it more likely that his HBP was ‘unintentional’ by the standards that FOX has set for Beckett.
Again its not about intent you stupid idiots Mcarver and Buck. The fact is 2 members of the Yankees were hit. Nuff said. Therefore, you must prtoect your teammates and have the reputation that we are not to be messed with!
I guess all these old school fools were fine with Gibson drilling people because they hit a home run the at bat before.
Same idiots who yearn for the utopia decade of the 50′s
Buck & McCarver deserve to be inducted in the Hall of Shame
damn, hit them more and hard, it’s not a big deal even if they lose today.
The story of McDonald.
He is a PED user.
The HR is CC’s alibi.
“i feel like im watching this fuing game on NESN”
—————
Remy would actually be more realistic about the situation than Buck and McCarver.
I have faith CC will settle down if he can get out of this. Hopefully Clay hasn’t settled down as well – he tends to have one bad inning and then get his sea legs under him
“Happy everybody? Yankees might lose the game but you got your retribution.”
This is one of the stupider things you’ve posted today.
Hope everybody on this board screaming for C.C. to hit someone got their blood lust fulfilled. This is why you don’t get into a beanball war.
C.C. has lost his focus completely and likely the game. Just great. But hey, the Yankees proved they have a “spine.” Absurd.
So Becket is allowed to lose control but not Cc? Why is that?my god these clowns are annoying might just go listen to the game
Trisha,
if they lose this game, it means nothing in the grand scheme of things.
The #1 priority is to protect your teammates, which he did.
The game is secondary at this point in the season.
This is so unlike CC….Sox fans will claim he’s rattled. I don’t think he gets rattled by anything…
why do so many of you give a crap what Buck and McCarver say or think? Are you that insecure that they have to be Yankees homers to make you feel good? Both of them are National Leaguers, if they have any allegiances it would be to the Cards (Buck/McCarver) and Phils (McCarver).
Victor Martinez puts up good ABs against CC. He gets good swings off him. Not surprising he took him deep.
“3-2 game and folks are panicking. lol. ”
—————
yup.
Buchholz hasn’t exactly looked sharp. Yanks need to stop with the double plays…
but I highly doubt this game ends up 3-2. More runs will be coming.
I didn’t see anything intentional there.
The Yankee hitters better get CC’s back after he surrendered the lead protecting their butts.
“Remy would actually be more realistic about the situation than Buck and McCarver.”
Remy and Orsillo would be ten times better than listening to these two on Fox.!
“It was 2 outs w/ a 1 run lead and these pieces of craps think he?s docking a sure out to put someone on vs a dangerous power hitter?”
Brandon, I wouldn’t think he would use that particular opportunity to put someone on base either.
Whether or not it was intentional, at least it’s over because those who wanted retribution see it as intentional.
What’s hilarious is Buck and McCarver citing “common sense” as proof Beckett’s pitches weren’t intentional. They obviously weren’t watching the game.
FOX has failed to mention the pitches to frankie last night
LOL it’s 3-2 and the Yankees have likely lost the game? If CC got rattled by hitting Pedroia, that’s on him.
Just remember, don’t walk on Gibson’s mound guys.
Remy would actually be more realistic about the situation than Buck and McCarver.
*****************************
Yeah, I think he would. Which says something doesn’t it? Not sure exactly what, but its a withering indictment on the Fox broadcasting booth whatever it is, lol
CC has had bad innings and then said to his catcher “that’s all they are getting”
and then promptly shut the opponent down the rest of the way.
He’s not a rookie.
CC should hit more since no warning has been issued.
The Fox announcers are worse than their usual absolutely awful this game. Someone should cover both of them in BBQ sauce so Pete Abe runs in and eats them both.
C.C. has lost his focus completely and likely the game. Just great. But hey, the Yankees proved they have a “spine.” Absurd.
Jumping the gun a bit? CC is a pro. He had a shaky inning and we are down by 1 run. Its also the 4th. We will come back and be fine. He will settle down fine.
I really thought retribution will come tomorrow with AJ.
The good thing is it is done and over with.
Given they scored, there should not be any reciprocation at least in this series.
We are a much better team and the offense will be seeing laptops for the second, third time and will hit him hard.
We will win this game by a wide margin.
It’s time to get rid of McCarver. The guy is a stupid old man who needs to go to the nursing home. And Joe Buck is a know-nothing piece of crap.
This game is hardly over. The yankee bats are just getting started.
CC will settle down.
These 2 sick freakshows Joe and Tim.
This game will probably not end 3-2. If we only score 2 runs off Bucholz and this trash Sox bulpen we probably deserve to lose anyway. We will get back in this.
I’m interested to hear what Francona said that McCarver though was “classic”
I think I am going to make myself a nice Bourbon and Brine
Jeremy
Tim’s nursing home in located in Boston.
Buchholz is super unimpressive
The only thing I ‘ll say is that if you’re going to hit someone, don’t give up a HR after that; the Sox really “won” that war because they took the lead.
Betsy – Hughes rules (pleading the Fifth) May 8th, 2010 at 4:19 pm
LOL it’s 3-2 and the Yankees have likely lost the game? If CC got rattled by hitting Pedroia, that’s on him.
*************
You made me laugh Betsy. Even you remain optimistic in the face of us being behind by that one big scary run
Agreed about Remy.
pitching around swisher might not be a WINNing strategy.
CC has had bad innings and then said to his catcher “that’s all they are getting”
and then promptly shut the opponent down the rest of the way.
He’s not a rookie.
*****************************************
Well said.
3-2 in the 4th and the game is over?
Not a lot of confidence in your team?
Please. CC did what he had to do.
The Yankees aren’t done scoring in this game.
If the yankees don’t bail out buchholz they will get to him here
Trisha
I have no prpblem with CC behind hunting.
Not thrilled with the HR that followed it but these guys have a deal in that clubhouse and CC just validated it.
Now it’s up to the offense that he protected to get him the lead back. It’s about picking each other up.
“I really thought retribution will come tomorrow with AJ.
The good thing is it is done and over with.”
That wasn’t retribution, we’ll get it tomorrow from AJ.
They’re laughing at us.
Bucholz looks bad.
The Yankees could break through in a big way.
No more giving away outs Joe. You don’t need to with the way Bucholz looks.
I expect CC to settle down and if he doesn’t, well he’s entitled to a bad game. We could just end the game now since it’s all but over…..
It’s a riot on here. Since about 8:30 last night, people were screaming for retribution. They got it, and the next guy…a career .300 with power hits a home run and they’re crying about it. and for God’s sake, turn off the volumn on the TV and shut the Hell up about McCarver and Buck. I know they’re annoying, you know they’re annoying and everybody else knows they’re annoying. Those that don’t care to listen to them also don’t care to have a word for word transcript, either.
yea completley CLASSIC. McCarver is laughing like a maniac. Like Ricky Gervais laughs when Karl Pilkington speaks
SJ, I think you know that I don’t have a lot of fear that the Yankees will lose this game or what it means to the season.
I frankly think it makes CC look like an oversized untrustable punk based on what he told the media last night. Plus of course he looks a little foolish since they took the opportunity to make the Yankees look pretty stupid.
IF he was going to throw an intentional pitch, he could have waited for a more opportune time.
Francona is a good guy.
Too bad he’s on the wrong team.
So, after getting the lead, laptops has thrown five straight balls.
Let’s face it, Tim and Buck will be looking for things to talk about the last 2-3 innings, when the Yanks have taken the lead and the game.
I am seriously in awe of how biased Tim and Joe are coming across today. I guess it shouldn’t be such a surprise, but it’s incredibly unprofessional.
Yanks are going to go on a tear here
I like Francona
Erica, lol – maybe I realize how silly I sound when I get into my “moods”. That said, I’m not that reactionary to the point where I say a game is over when they’re down by 1……
I am going to act all spelling Gestapo….
It’s BUCHHOLZ
Lets spell it right when criticizing him!
CC will be fine next inning. John and Suzyn are talking about getting a hitter…a lefty if Nick J. is hurt.
Bucholz looks terrible on the mound and the Yankees have lost this game down 1 run.
Get your head on straight people. What team are you watching?
An “oversized untrustable punk?” Really? How do you think that comment makes you look?
Francona is a good guy. But he was acting like we were winning the violence race.
Yankees have really bailed Buchholz out with 2 double plays so far that have cost runs.
If they can knock that off, they will get to him for sure.
Bucholtz is so slow
pat, the difficulty I have is that he told the press one thing and did another, if it was an intentional pitch. I also think he could have timed it better if it was intentional. I also would have had a lot more respect for him if he said last night that he thought it was intentional.
Nice pitch 5 feet outside
Not a strike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Changed the whole AtBat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ouch on that call
Buchholz’s pace is so bad once a runner gets on.
Why is he throwing to first wen it’s swisher.
That’s how little confidence he has in martinez and how easily he gets distracted.
I am so sick of this ump. He calls everything for Clay.
Outside, called a strike
Stop helping Buchholz
Yeah keep it classy Trisha. CC is just a “fat punk” who has the nerve to stick up for his teammates and win tons of games.
Erica can we just call him the computer thief instead?
And Buck is still talking about 2004.
Ball 4 that would have been.
Buchholz lost complete control, and we should have 2 runners on base.
I don’t know.. I wasn’t screaming for retribution per se. Although, I really did think it was ridiculous how many were hit. I think the Yankees had the last say last night by thrashing the Sox and winning. That’s the best revenge, imo.
But I get how baseball works. This is how it is. You hit as many batters as Beckett did (intentionally or not) and most pitchers of the opposing team will feel obliged to protect their batters. Its a team game.
If Buchholz were hitting his spots, I can see the ump giving him the benefit of the doubt.
But he’s been all over the place.
You have to earn the calls.
I cannot stand listening to Ken Rosencrap talk. Does he practice those speeches all night, or is he repeating what’s in his headset? He needs to go take a community college public speaking course.
Erica- I thought it was spelled L-A-P-T-O-P?
There, everyone feel better?
Nice D again you are awesome Beltre HAHAHAHA
Run prevention FAIL!
Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Run prevention
Beltre with another error? LOLZ
Theo is right defense first always…..
LOL Go Yanks!
Are we paying Adrian Beltre? I know people like to come up with Anti-Yankee conspiracies on here, but this might just be a pro-Yankee one.
Hey McCarver where was ur lover Dustin on that backup
Erica,
Get out of my head
I frankly think it makes CC look like an oversized untrustable punk . .
Really?
That Plus Plus defender, how many runs did Beltre save again last year? Win Prevention at its finest.
Wow, Beltre having his problems today. Winn also doing a very nice job with the consistent time in the lineup.
Beltre is so bad out there, how can anyone say he is a top defensive 3rd baseman?
Every single Red Sox Yankees game that Buck does he mentions 2004. I can’t stand this guy, I’ve tried turning off the sound and putting on the radio but it’s out of sync.
Jason22 May 8th, 2010 at 4:25 pm
Erica can we just call him the computer thief instead?
***********
I am okay with that
As long as its spelled correctly
I’m calling that GB impostor. That’s a lot of words without a typo!
If not, maybe anger inspires his fingers to work wonders?
wow,
Beltre has been just awful in the field.
I tried to be nice by saying “below average” but I can’t tell you how many horrible plays he has made in the field on generally easy plays.
I think it’s possible he’s trying to live up to his rep as a “elite defensive 3b” by trying to do too much.
He is turning easy plays into big errors.
Beltre is an amazing piece of defensive royalty.
Beltre no glove for you!!
Fox is just classic
We how do you like these apples? 2 on…no outs…let’s get a few runs here
Here we come…..
Stop whining about CC.
CC did what is expected of him.
Giving a HR happens to any pitcher at any time…..That is baseball.
I cannot stand listening to Ken Rosencrap talk. Does he practice those speeches all night, or is he repeating what’s in his headset? He needs to go take a community college public speaking course.
–
He talks like that all the time, its ridiculous.
I love Cisco! no homo
o my god. You cant send him
Frankie!!!
Ugh – another runner thrown out at home?
I’m glad McCarver told us that players should just do what they’re capable of doing.
Triple short of a Cycle May 8th, 2010 at 4:26 pm
Erica,
Get out of my head
**********
LOL. Have I been stealing your thoughts today?
why Winn get waved in? He’s SLOW
Why send Winn with no one out?
not so sure about sending a guy with 0 outs unless it’s going to be a sure run.
ZERO outs! hold the guy.
Dang, thought we got 2 runs there
Trisha,
No it doesn’t. It shows him to be a great teammate.
There is clubhouse you don’t understand.
You ALWAYS back up your guys. The game is secondary today.
That’s why CC is one of the leaders of the team.
He did the right thing and Pedroia knows it.
Ron McDonald just made a perfect throw.
They were just blocking the plate again.
Run him over.
He didnt miss touching home plate with his hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he didnt miss home plate McCarver open ur eyes
he tagged the plate
you will never lose a game forcing Beltre and Martinez to field balls. Yankees should be bunting down third every other batter.
I agree with Thompson sending him – force the Sox to make a play.
Cervelli!
Too bad. An extra run would been nice.
what a perfect bounce off the mound
Epic fail.. Beltre.
I’ve been reduced to muting buck and now content to listen to the rumble of the subway below
Nice job of hitting by Frankie, but did not like that send with no out.
Good throw, but no reason to risk there.
No need to send Winn there.
“Yeah keep it classy Trisha. CC is just a ?fat punk? who has the nerve to stick up for his teammates and win tons of games.”
Then he should have been honest about it last night.
Next.
Tim McCarver is such a loser, Winn was clearly safe
Safe?
The Yankees seem to get thrown out at home a lot this year..
So who has more homers, arod, you or Darrell mcdonald
He was safe, but whatever, keep on hitting cervelli.
Cervelli keeps coming thru and in clutch.
he was safe
Bronx Jeers May 8th, 2010 at 4:27 pm
I’m calling that GB impostor. That’s a lot of words without a typo!
If not, maybe anger inspires his fingers to work wonders?
———————————————————————————————————————-
Spellcheck is a gift from the gods.
I wish Winn scored. I really hate Buck and McCaver.
Erica – did DT ever show up?
Trisha
Denying hitting batters or planning on hitting them is an unwritten pitchers rule in baseball.
It was intentional. CC may even have let Cano pick the cheek.
With no one out, Winn should have held up at 3rd.
One of the only times I’ve ever questioned Robby Thompson out there.
This blocking of the plate has to have an end put to it by us. We have to start running people over or dropkicking catchers and forget about even scoring the run.
That’s probably at least 3 runs the Yanks have bailed Buchholz out of.
They almost certainly score 2 runs if they don’t hit into the 2 double plays and another on that play at home.
You have to give the Sox credit, they got the DP and made a nice throw…
but they have certainly not helped their cause and have kept Buchholz from having a horrible game thus far.
Buchholz is really struggling..
Shouldn’t Tim McCarver right now be talking about how the great Victor Martinez is the next Johnny Bench?
pena looks over matched.
Yeah. CC is going to say last night I am going to hit someone tomorrow. That wouldn’t earn him a suspension or anything when he did…
Susan taking jabs at the Sox “run prevention”. lol
Angel – In an Empire State of Mind May 8th, 2010 at 4:29 pm
Erica – did DT ever show up?
**********
No
SJ – yes it does. He said one thing and did the opposite. You were jonesing for retaliation so I understand you’re ecstatic. I was not, and I also value honesty.
No need for further discussion.
Trisha, you don’t think that if CC comes out and says he’s going to hit someone that there would have been a suspension? Your logic is fundamentally flawed.
Next.
They had the infield in in the 4th inning??????
Everybody says you never want to make the 1st out at third base. Isn’t making the 1st out at home even worse?
Right at him.
Heh Heh Heh!
Im getting super crazy angry!
That’s Thompson’s 2nd questionable move this year after having maybe 1 all of last year.
Can’t do anything there, Pena hit it hard, just bad luck.
Come on Derek 2 out clutch time.
jeter, don’t fail here
They just threw at our head.
Was that on purpose??????
Yet Joba is a headhunter??
Listen to this prick McCarver he knows what Yankee fans think
So CC should have gone all Dallas Braden on the Red Sox last night?
These guys are so freaking biased. It’s like having NESN doing fox games.
Erica – always OPPC – Sesame Street Mafia and GTLU supporter May 8th, 2010 at 4:31 pm

No
**************************************
And Tim says NO WAY!
NO WAY the Red sox ever do anything wrong! Theyre the red sox.
that wasnt inside. that was at his head.
Wow… McCarver really has no clue.
Old school only when its not the Yankees
“They had the infield in in the 4th inning??????”
————–
the fact that Ramiro Pena was the hitter may have had something to do with that.
omg, McCarver is a pig
can’t stand mccarver and buck,…i hate these fox games…
Really, if that was on purpose, that’s a pretty pathetic move. CC settled it, and Buchholz figured he would keep it simmering.
Or he was just trying to bust Jeter inside. But the Red Sox hatred in me tends to think that it was on purpose.
Brooklynbob
The game is on the radio.
So let me get this straight:
we got hit, we got injured, we tried to fight back — got minimal payback, and then got slammed by Red Sox bats again?
Same old, same old. This is just depressing.
Wow, did I hear correctly? Did Buck think Winn was safe?
According to McCarver, every pitch by a Yankee is intentional, and every pitch by a Red Sox is unintentional.
I don’t think that the pitch to Jeter was intentional, but McCarver’s response to it was nearing the absurd.
CC didn’t have to say anything. CC could have said he wasn’t sure. That wouldn’t have earned him a suspension.
Next. And really over.
Buchholz at 67 pitches
work the walk here JEte
We should be up by at least 2 today
You don’t announce you are going to hit somebody Trisha. That gets you suspended.
If you are looking for honesty in post game interviews, you are looking in the wrong place.
Terrible at bat by Jeter……
how anyone can compare Bucholz to Hughes is beyond me, there is just no comparison. Phil has a chance to be a Cy Young winner and perennial All Star and Bucholz has a chance to be a 12-13 game winner as a #4 or #5.
Could we at least get that run in. come on !
I wish fox did the entire game as a moment of silence.. so painful..
McCarver said that “NO WAY” as if it were coming out of the mouth of a Red Sox fan
Payback didnt bite them.
Darnell McDonald was a PED user. A steroid freak. ANd coming to the Red Sox, he is now a great story. And the stain of PED use is wiped away.
We should of had 3 runs that inning.
gyhu May 8th, 2010 at 4:33 pm
So let me get this straight:

Same old, same old. This is just depressing.
And we’ll get suspended as well.
Shouldn’t have sent Winn home. 1st and 3rd with no one out could have been the end of Buchholz there.
SJ44 stop making sense, Trisha has declared all discussion over!!
Okay, let’s go CC.
McCarver’s like a lot of old people. Says the same thing over and over. I bet he’s still talking about CC’s HBP.
frustrating should have 5 or 6 runs already
Jim
Buck and McCarver are Red Sox fans.
I like this McCarver way better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xdTYVxzEwI
22 pitch inning for Laptop!
The offense is still not clicking on all cylinders…….but there’s plenty of time to do damage. They are going to have to pick up their SP when the SP don’t have “it”….
By the way guys, no one is forcing you to watch the FOX broadcast with the sound on
Just mute it! That’s what I do.
Can we please stop attacking SJ44 and TRISHA and everyone else, and attack who deserves to be attacked, these filthy putrid maniacs, Joe and Tim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CR9,
Please. Enough Yankees, prominent Yankees, have used steroids. Going off on a minor league journeyman isn’t exactly fair game.
Thompson did a bad job, but neither Pena or Jeter could get the job done. Jeter just had a bad at bat………
The Yankees keep bailing Bucholz out.
If he keeps pitching like this something is going to crack.
A multi-run HR to break the game open is only a matter of time.
Jeter needs to take some more walks.
Career worst isoD right now.
how many of you actually know that the Yankees won the World Series last year and have a 20-8 records this year while the Sox are 15-15? The way you talk is the 7th game of the 2004 ALCS and the Yankees are 5 runs down.
Mike WV, see you’re acting up again. I said the discussion is over as far as I’m concerned. You feel free to go on and on about it. There were plenty who were crazed for retribution last night so I’m sure they’d be happy to dance a jib with you.
On a national forum, these scumballs Joe and Tim are making the Yankees look bad to the average, or below average fan.
“the one hitter that you’re leaving off of that list was Pedroia?” Girardi clearly stated that CC hit him.
isoD, sounds like NBA talk.
What exactly is that, Jerkface?
I think the thing that makes Jeter different is that he’s probably already forgotten that he just choked in an opportunity to drive in the go-ahead run. He’s already thinking about defense and keeping the score tied and he’ll get up again later in the game with another opportunity to give the Yankees the lead and will have absolutely no baggage in his mind when he hits the the same ground ball that found the glove of the SS this time into centerfield. That’s what makes him a great player-he makes you forget how often he fails to get the big hit.
They lied and said Joe didnt mention Pedroia.
Joe Girardi said, he got behind Scutaro and then hit Pedroia, etc.
And then Joe Buck said “I noticed you left out a batter”
WHEN HE DIDNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Buck is getting more and more annoying.
I thought he had reached his annoyance threshold.
I was wrong.
interesting adjustment by CC, he’s gone to the curveball early in the count this inning.
Its your OBP – AVG, basically the portion of how you get on base via HBP and walks. Jeter is usually around .060-.080
Basically if he hits .300 he is on base around .360-.380
Right now its .036
Terrible, thats Robinson Cano basically
Since I just called out Trisha for saying something stupid — just my opinion!!! — it would be unfair not to also credit her with saying something smart.
It took her about 1,000 words to say it, so I’ll paraphrase:
Lots of very baseball-savvy and otherwise-intelligent people, both in the media and on this board, have not agreed on each facet of this issue, such as whether or not there was intent in any or all of what Beckett did or what, if anything, the Yankees should do about it.
So as much as each of us might think we know, even be sure we know, and even if some of us are probably right about what we think we are sure we know, we don’t really know.
I came on here to say Tim McCarver is awful, but it appears that that’s not really necessary
Gyhu – did I read ur statement properly? “We got slammed by the red sox bats again. Same old same old.”
Are u aware we have beaten them 12 of the last 14 times we have played them and 3 of 4 so far this year? All of which were in fenway mind you. The only smlamming the sox are doing is their bats over their knees or their needles into ortiz.
Buck and McCarver are Red Sox fans.
——–
I tend to think they’re more anti-Yankee.
CR9, they are not Red Sox fans so much as they are Yankee haters. I’d posit that a good 90% of Red Sox fans are more Yankee haters than Red Sox lovers. Most Red Sox fans that I know would rather see the Yankees lose than the Sox win – same goes for most Met fans.
is it just me or does there seem to be a hurricane outside?
CC has nothing today and he still pitching an okay game.
Nick
Completely uncalled for! I am not attacking you. Do you receive joy from attacking Trisha?
97 wow. Bounce back
Nick gets a dose of cortizone says Joe (the only approved steroid) allowed by MLB.
Jeter needs to take some more walks.
Career worst isoD right now.
———
That’s why Gardner has to be lead off batter from now on.
HATE TIM AND JOE!!! FIRE THE 2 WEASELS!!!!!!!!! Get playoff baseball back to NBC!
i can’t listen to buck and mccarver…i would mute it and put on wfan, but i am not a fan of sterling and waldman either…
pat,
Take a number.
Jerkface,
Thanks for that explanation.
“Next. And really over.”
Hey, that’s a contradiction!
Despite the idiots announcing the game this is shaping up into another classic Yankee/Red Sox game isn’t it? Last night’s win was great but it got a little boring in the late innings.
Hey lets all petion to get Morgan and Miller on Fox lol
“22 pitch inning for Laptop!”
I keep forgetting that’s his nickname.
Mike WV is back! Only to attack another forum member! What a great Yankees fan!
Trisha,
I was just backing you up and reminding SJ44 what you said.
Can’t dance, bad knees.
Finally a 12 pitch inning CC is back on track.
Brett lets start this inning off right.
Forget NBC how about cloning about 100 Scullys
Am i missing something…Whats with the Laptop nickname?
The perspicacity on this board is making me thirsty!
That just happened.
YAY TEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TEX!
It’s May
Nice Tex…
who was it that said a couple Yanks HR were coming?
TEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =)
“the struggling Teixeira”
pat May 8th, 2010 at 4:40 pm
I came on here to say Tim McCarver is awful, but it appears that that’s not really necessary
Not me. Get your own name!
Told you Tex was heating up
PL, Buchholz was caught stealing computers before he started pitching for the Sox. Hence the nickname.
Alex is going to go back-to-back
We just can’t beat the Red Sox on Saturdays on Fox.
Jesus, Sterling. I thought he was going to yell, “It is caught!”
Weird confluence of averages. Cano and Gardner are both batting .349
I couldn’t type fast enough to call that HR before he hit it. Tesxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx!!!!!!
That flat fastball had CB’s name on it
And finally, Tex puts a charge into one.
How can the Yankees lead?
I thought the game was “over” 2 innings ago?
McCarver how would you know what the Yankees feel about Gardner, shut your pie hole.
Thank you MARK, HR, and yes it does hurt beantown, when Mark’s at bat!
Buchholz stole from children. CHILDREN!!
Psyluk
thanks, wow thats great
“Am i missing something…Whats with the Laptop nickname?”
———————-
“Buchholz was arrested shortly before the 2005 draft after he and a friend stole 29 laptop computers from his high school to sell them.”
what a dirtbag
How come there was no excitement from Joe after Tex’s blast.
I can understand the gift 3-0 call, but not 3-1. Neither were strikes.
Told you the Yankee hitters would get CCs back!!! Batters tend to reward pitchers for such acts.
Buchholz isn’t anything special. 11 baserunners in 5 innings and a season WHIP of almost 1.50. He doesn’t have full control of his stuff yet.
Tough inside pitches to call there.
Clay is up to 79 pitches.
He may not last much longer.
cmon, SJ, how can you try to apply common sense and logic to a Sox game thread?
SJ
The game was over 2 innings ago, according to Joe and Tim!
Cano’s turn I hope
# BD (Boston Dave) May 8th, 2010 at 4:49 pm
Clay is up to 79 pitches.
He may not last much longer.
Thats what she said
Clay stinks. I said that the Phil Hughes is better than him but stupid Sox fans think otherwise.
Nevermind, Bucholz gave him nothing to hit
pat,
After what happened to me yesterday, another pat is NOT a coincidence.
Oh look, Tex now has same number of home runs as McDonald.
That’s something to celebrate, No?
woo hoo
wow, bad changeup but it was moer than enough to fool Robby.
If he had been able to stay back on that one, he would have hit it a mile.
Buchholz would steal a shirt off a child’s back. THIEF! CHILD THIEF! STEAL FROM CHILDREN!
Damon, what did McCarver say about Gardner?
I am not watching the game on FOX, luckily.
Boy, Bucholz not looking good here. This is not doing his trade value any good in any prospective deal for Adrian Gonzalez, or anyone else.
Does anyone know who we got back when we dealt Tyler Clippard away to the Nationals? He now has allowed only 2 runs in 22 innings with an ERA under 1.00. I think Cashman royally blew it on this one. He looks like one of those guys who took a little while to mature. Boy it would be nice to have that one back. I hate seeing home grown guys prosper in other uniforms ala Jackson in Detroit and Clippard.
lol PL.
well done.
There we go Robbie, stayed back much better on that ball.
Come on Swish, patience.
Big at bat here
PL,
you really nailed that one. keep em coming.
BD-
Tex’s shot was going to happen. May not have been him but someone on the yanks was going to pelt one of those fastball’s.
From this arm slot clay’s fastball is just too flat.
I like when the Red Sox play the Phillies.
Its the only time Yankees and Mets fans join forces against common enemies
Not exactly what I was hoping for but Swisher can hit one.
MG,
Very true! lol. My bad.
“Oh look, Tex now has same number of home runs as McDonald.
That’s something to celebrate, No?”
—————
and considering how few wins the Sox have, you could even argue that McDonald has a better HR to win ratio than Tex.
this would be a huge hit here
Swish can’t stand there with his bat on his shoulder.
Not with men on base and not with winn up next.
“Completely uncalled for! I am not attacking you. Do you receive joy from attacking Trisha?”
First, if you’re going to police the blog on what comments you think are completely uncalled for, you should do it universally and not just those that you think are attacks on Trisha.
Second, “attacking” is subjective, and it’s good to be able to seperate the comments from the commenter.
Tough at bat Nick.
Come on Randy pick him up.
Two out hits win games.
Show me some clutch..
Funny story by Suzyn – John Farrell told laptops to slow down his delivery, to keep his mechanics in check. So, laptops took him literally, and slowwwwed down everrrryyything……
Swish can’t stand there with his bat on his shoulder.
–
He swung at pitch 1 and pitch 2, he thought pitch 3 was outside. It backed up and ended up catching the edge.
What you gonna do?
Randy Winn seems to be getting more and more comfortable at the plate with more playing time.
Has anyone noticed the pace of this game could best be described as “crawling”?
Buchholz is staying away from his fastball now.
that was Clay’s best changeup so far today
Clay has attained the status of a ‘Clay Buchholz status’
They havent even mentioned one word about Phil Hughes performance last night.
“What you gonna do?”
Walk back to the bench with your bat in hand not having swung it.
Buchholz is runnin’ against the Winn
great ab by winn
Good at bat.
Come on Frankie, can you do it again????
13 baserunners in 5 innings.
Big spot in the game. Cisco might be the best hitter now, just go with the pitch.
Nick
Fair enough on your second point. On your first one, I am hardly a policer of anything. I would, though, love if Yankees fans can get along with all other Yankees fans!
Clay stinks. Phil Hughes is better than him in terms of stuff and maturity.
8 hits/5 walks. Really should be more than 4 runs on the board through 4.2 innings.
Let’s go, Frankie.
I like how Buck is trying to say the game is slowing down FOR Buchholz and he’s more comfortable in the maojrs, meanwhile his total lack of comfort and sharpness on the mound has brought the game to a grinding halt and he’s had men on base all day long. The hype for Buchholz does not equal the current polish & ability. Yankees lineup, even this makeshift lineup, is a nightmare for Buchholz to maneuver.
If you wanna get on Swisher, get on him for not putting pitch 1 in play. Perfect pitch to serve to the monster or pull over McDonald into the triangle.
Erica,
good thing my Mexican joint didn’t have reservations until 9
“Clay has done his part, trailing here today.”
Joe, 4 runs, bases loaded in the 5th, while narrowly escaping more runs is not really “doing your part.”
I know it’s the Yankees offense but Clay has not looked very good and certainly can’t pitch like this all the time if he’s going to succeed in the league.
Cervelli is freaking amazing.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FRANKIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Randy what are you doing lol!
Working backwards from the offspeed stuff doesn’t work if he can’t throw them for strikes.
Bang.
Cervelli and Gardner have been sensational this year.
Cervelli is my boy that is just great…Winn ur playing yourself out of the lineup with that
Cisco is on fire.
Cervelli is clutch.
cervelli is the man…winn, no so much (jk nice ab winn)
Posada who?
I heart Cervelli and not in the creepy CR9 way
Yes you can, Yes you can indeed.
Clutch………………….
Francisco Cervelli is incredible.
Frankie… the hottest hitter in baseball right now???
lol, you can’t even get mad at Winn on that. 6-3 the good guys.
Dreamy Eyes!
Another proof for the LEGEND of Cisco
Randy Winn might be the worst baserunner on the team after Posada. He’s lucky Beltre didn’t hold the tag on him yesterday or that would have been two boners in a row.
Winn again?! unacceptable!
Is Randy Winn trying to set a record for getting thrown out in a single season? That’s the third time this year, if I’m not mistaken.
Cervelli=awesome.
Damn it! I let him off the hook again! Where’s that killer instinct, Yanks?
F*ck you, Daniel McDonald.
Nice hit by Cervelli. Now if Randy Winn could run the bases!!!!!
Cervelli rules
Joe Buck “Clay has done his part.”
Buchholz – 5IP, 9 hits, 5 walks, 6 runs, 1K
Ok Joe. Ok.
Has word gotten out to other teams that the best “clutch” hitters on the Yankees this year have been the backup catcher and the tiny LF? Let’s hope it doesn’t!
# Psyluk May 8th, 2010 at 4:59 pm
Is Randy Winn trying to set a record for getting thrown out in a single season? That’s the third time this year, if I’m not mistaken.
No respect for Darnell McRuth
Winn should know how to run the bases tho. He’s been in the NL don’t they drone on about fundamentals
I am not surprised at Cervelli’s performance, not at all.
“I would, though, love if Yankees fans can get along with all other Yankees fans!”
Then a comment like this probably really annoyed you:
“I can’t imagine how anyone wouldn’t see [the way I see Phil Hughes] that way but you know not everyone wears big girl and big boy panties, ha ha.”
Clay is their best, he’s not good enough, thank you Cerevelli.
Clay pitched 26 pitches
Ask yourself a question – with just 2010 as a guide: Who would you rather have at the plate with the game on the line other than Cervelli? I’m not kidding, this kid seems to relish these moments.
Nick Johnson going down might have a big silver lining because it will allow Girardi an excuse to plug Posada in as the DH for an extended period.
‘Erin May 8th, 2010 at 4:59 pm
‘
Cervelli=awesome.
*coughs*
Cervelli up to .415
just really giving this team a lift while some of the middle of the order guys were down or just heating up.
david Mcdarneld is really great
The enthusiasm of Shelley Duncan with actual production to boot.
“Francisco Cervelli is incredible.”
He has a very short swing. It allows him to stay back on the ball. Change up fastball isn’t the best way to approach Cervelli.
Buchholz started pitching backwards after the home run to Tex. He got scared of his fastball.
In that Cervelli at bat he tried to set up his fastball with that first pitch change.
And you can’t do that in the major leagues.
YES!!!!
yes, eat shxt, Macburger!
Daniel McDonald. LOL.
Loser.
THAT’S run prevention!
CC isn’t going more than 6-7 IP today.
They’ll need to rely on the bullpen. Let’s hope they are up to the task.
Though, the Sox bullpen also has to keep the team in the game, as well.
The Mark Teixiera MVP And1 Baseball MixTape vol.2.0 is in stores soon
Go untrustable Punk!
Beantown, how did Teixera look just now catching the ball in mid air,hehehe!!
Remember, it’s a bridge year.
Tex just demonstrating how run prevention is done.
But then, he’s also the guy who just took the ball deep and rattled the sox pitcher.
It’s defense great when you can also hit?
Texeria is just a magician at first base…He really is a marvel to watch
The pen is fresh as a daisy. Mariano, Joba and Aceves should have no problem getting loose for the next 2 games.
SJ, guess what Austin Jackson did today.
The curse of MT strikes again…..
A mention of PHil Hughes Dominating yesterday.
They cleaned BUchholz who gave up 6 runs in 5 innings, but one mere mention of MASTERPHIL!
Joe just said Phil Hughes was dominating last night….
so he made up for that one.
Feinsand is so funny, re: NJ. “Cashman said several weeks. I don’t know what he meant, but to me that means 4~6 weeks minimum.”
CC hasn’t been as sharp in this outing.
“THAT’S run prevention!”
That WAS STRIKE 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are really fortunate to have the best catching combo in Po and Cisco.
), we are not missing a beat.
When Po is no tavaialble due to various nicks and dents (
When Po is in the lineup, we have unbeleivable offense.
Buccholz just wasn’t sharp today. But his stuff s equal to, or slightly better, than Huuuuuughes. They’re both sick pitchas though
I don’t blame CC for staring in, that was strike 3.
Can we please get a DP.
2nd pitch to Pedroia looked pretty close to the same as the ball 4 pitch to Scutaro
“SJ, guess what Austin Jackson did today.”
————–
AJax is doing great, but I’m guessing you didn’t watch the game.
The Indians pitching was awful.
17 batters reaching safely awful.
Strike 3 right there.
Andrew
They were very close to identical. The HP umpire knew what he was doing!
Oh great V-mart. Need to get him out.
Okay, Betch. Go lie down now.
The Yanks just found their new DH: POSADA.
Cervelli MUST be the everyday catcher now, and if Posada doesn’t like it, too bad, he can make a list of teams he wants to be traded to approved by the Yanks after this season if he doesn’t like it. The Yanks could always use the$13.1M cleared to get a veteran super-backup catcher
and do several things with DH. Swisher DH, new RF. Matsui or Damon brought back for DH.
Bottom line is Cervelli is a better catcher than Posada and a better hitter than Johnson,
Posada is a better DH than Johnson.
That fastball down was a good example of how Pedroia has trouble with pitches now in the zone.
He doesn’t effectively reach balls down. He tries to get his hands underneath the pitch as if he were hitting a pitch up in the zone rather than dropping the bat head down on the ball.
We need this out!!!
The crew chief just screwed us.
Are these umps for real??
How dare they! Trying to rob CC of a win.
unreal
no win for CC
ugh
f*ck this ump
THEY SCREWED US!
RED SOX TIM MCCLELLAND
Ugh… that is rather annoying.
Are you kidding me???????? Fastest rain delay ever. What a joke
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? how in the world do you stop the game there….wow
This has been one disappointing start for CC, especially after last night, I thought he is a Gamer.
I guess I was wrong.
What a piece of sh&t cant let him throw one pitch wow
Total bull. At least let him finish the batter.
The umps really are helping out the Sox here. They couldn’t let him get in one more pitch. What a joke !
Can’t throw one more pitch? That makes no sense.
Horrible umpire decision.
The radar shows this will be a brief shower. Why not play through it?
That was quick
LOL this is bs
I can’t believe they just called the tarp on. Way to give the Sox a leg up.
Jesus why was he taking so long to throw.
can’t blame the ump for the rain, I guess.
It is really pouring.
just unlucky timing.
THIS IS A JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Forget about a win for CC, they are trying to screw the Yankees out of a possible win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not a good job by CC that inning. He didn’t have good stuff today but he worked very slowly that inning with bad weather imminent.
And then he walked Scutaro instead of pounding the zone with the lead.
One strike from an official game.
cc shouldnt have taken so damn long to throw the freakin thing
If the game is wiped out, does that mean Pedroia has to get plunked again?
Kidding!
what a load of crap that they didnt at least finish the 5th to make this a game.
I love two miles from the cesspool and the rain should let up soon
I will keep everyone posted as always
Cervelli isn’t going to be the everyday catcher, nor does he “deserve” to be.
Stop the overreactive nonsense.
I live two miles from the cesspool and the rain should let up soon
I will keep everyone posted as always
They screwed us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
It does not get any more obvious than this and Game 6 of the 2009 World Series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
John
Shut the Hell up ! CC is one the best in the game. No pitcher is perfect they have bad game sometimes so go troll on another site.

I agree CB.
wouldnt be surprised if they find a way to not restart this game since we it didnt get through the 5th. And i think no matter what, CC comes back out to at least finish the 5th even if it is 1 pitch.

Obviously not, but if he continues like this, he might deserve to be the starting catcher for another team, perhaps in the NL.
CC because he chose to blow 30 pitches in the 3rd ( getting payback) is at 89 pitches after 4.2 innings. Phil had better control.
The yankees didn’t get screwed by the umps.
This is on CC for not working faster that inning and walking a slap hitter.
They got him the lead and instead of working quickly and pounding the zone to make sure the game would be official he worked slowly and wasn’t aggressive.
Don’t blame the umps. The pitcher is the one who dictates the pace of the game.
CC should have known the situation and tho=rown the pitch faster…..
I think it will be a short break and CC will come back.
35-40 minute delay plus prepping the field so looking at an hour likely before they re-start.
Fox’s weather guy was such a tool HA
What?!?! A weather update that didn’t come from a busty blond in a short skirt?
Thanks for nothing, Fox Network!
What are the odds the A’s hold this lead?? Nest to Nil?
I like how weather.com has it as cloudy in boston
CC definitely should have worked faster to throw that last pitch.
That was not one of his better moments today.
One strike, it’s a complete game.
Now, they will need Ace to pitch to Martinez when the game resumes.
No fair I want to see Bastardo
CC is done if its more than 1 hr
Phil has a chance to get #5 before the clearing throat, Ace!
CB,
That was the quickest call for the tarp I have ever seen
?????
Is CC a walking doppler radar? Once he gets on the mound he isn’t going to know that he literally has 1 second of gap time from ‘rain begins’ to ‘game called’.
Don’t be ridiculous you guys.
Good for Sabathia you got to protect your hitters. It should of been done last night in a blowout Hughes, Robertson and Logan really messed up. CC had no choice he had to retaliate.
RiverAveBlues FOX is saying at least 35-40 minutes. Stay tuned. Also seems to be the umpire crew’s decision to delay game, not grounds crew.
Well we know who’s call it wasnt.
The drama queen Joe West
Jorge’s going to DH upon return apparently.
He had a banged up knee and a calf strain. I see no reason to rush him back behind the plate for the sake of putting him behind the plate. Catching puts incredible strain on your lower extremities. Get totally healthy first, it’s a long season and plenty of time to get him back to being the starter.
CC will find a way to come out for at least 1 more out.
The world isn’t out to get the Yankees, give all this cheating crap a rest
couldn’t let him throw one more pitch?
As Triple said, that was the quickest call for a rain delay EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
Red Sox McClelland came running out there as fast as his scummy legs could carry!!!!!!!!!!!!
Walking Scutaro is worse than walking Doppler Radar.

************************
My thoughts exactly.
“That was the quickest call for the tarp I have ever seen”
It was but it’s also pouring. They absolutely should have let him throw one more pitch.
But you avoid putting the game in the hands of the umpire at all costs.
The weather was getting worse quickly from before CC stepped on the mound.
He’s a great pitcher but he just struggled today and didn’t adjust to the context of the game.
It’s a mistake but not a big deal. Just unfortunate.
He doesn’t have to be a walking radar.
The wind kicks up, it gets dark, and the temperature drops, you work faster. It ain’t that complicated.
He’s a great pitcher who made a mistake. It happens.
Still don’t get why SJ44 likes to dismiss people’s opinions as though he’s a paid, professional analyst…. And CR9, starting catcher or not, he’s a hell of a lot of fun to watch, right?
He did not even walk Scutaro. He was cheated out of Strike 3!
Not raining here
Icebird
Yes. He’s A LOT of fun to watch. So much better and more fun than 2009 Jose Molina.
I’m sure CC felt the wind and seen the darkness. Just throw the pitch.
It rains in baseball games all the time without the home plate crew sperging out. CC didn’t make a mistake. He couldn’t have anticipated a quick call. He didn’t even get a chance to speed up his pace once the rain began.
Is Cervelli eligible to be in the league leaders yet?
the rain is already stopping..
Please tell me you guys are not ragging on CC, the guy has been great this year, today he has nothing absolutely nothing, he can’t locate the fastball and the change is all over the place the Red Spxs are still 3rd in the lead in runs and he is holding them to 3 runs in that Joke of a ball park, and he has nothing!!
“Good for Sabathia you got to protect your hitters”
Pedroia was probably only too glad to take one off the wallet as it’s the only way he can reach base against Sabathia (1 for 19 in his career). Guess that would be my problem with it. Giving a guy he positively owns a free base ended up costing him 2 runs and 15 or so pitches. But hindsight is 20/20.
Nick
As for that comment you quoted, I assume it came from Betsy or Trisha. It did not appear to be directed at any one poster, or indirectly referencing any one poster.
Anyways, the past is the past….
Except when it comes to umpires/referees cheating NEW YORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bryan, thanks for the updates. Hopefully, they’ll resume sooner rather than later. Looks like they called the delay at 5:11 according to LoHud comments.
“Still don’t get why SJ44 likes to dismiss people’s opinions as though he’s a paid, professional analyst…. And CR9, starting catcher or not, he’s a hell of a lot of fun to watch, right?”
SJ44 typically stays away from game threads so don’t just assume that the poster using SJ44 is the real one.
Very disappointed in CC’s mental mistakes.
He let Pedroia distract him and he blew a 2-0 lead, and now the rain is coming down and he is just strolling along, with no urgency.
Sucks for him that he isin’t going to get a win, but sucks for us that we have to use our pen for 4.1 innings.
The word ‘cheated’ really needs to get banned on this blog.
SJ44 is a know nothing blowhard.
CC was taking long to throw because of that big gut, he was laboring out there. He’s too big in the middle and gets gassed !
The fact is, Tim McClelland attempted to cheat us, and nobody cares

A mistake? Are you kidding? I know he should of rushed himself, I’m sure if he hung a cookie to Victor and he hit it over the monster you would be saying the same thing.
Remember when I said Cervelli should pinch hit for someone in a game. And someone told me to shut up? Well he’s batting .700 with risp.
MikeSilvermanBB Clouds clearing west of Fenway, this delay should last roughly 30 more minutes. Start your watches. #RedSox #mymiddlenameisdoppler
Bryan – where do u live? Do u live in boston and are saying its not raining or do u live somewhere other than boston and just happen to be sharing a worthless piece of info?
CR9-
Would you have been happier if CC continued to pitch in the rain and made a mistake cause he couldn’t grip the ball.
Or worse- someone got hurt on a slippery field?
Nick Johnson going down might have a big silver lining…

No, it was directed at an entire class of posters, not just one particular one.
I am very tired of umpire conspiracy theories
Its enough now
Who is to say that Girardi doesn’t let CC come back out and finish the batter? He only needs one more out.
And there certainly wont be any mention of the quick ‘rain delay trigger’ that Red Sox McClelland had by Joe and Tim.

Girardi should let him go out there. What was it, 50 minutes? That is the equivalent of a long inning + a booth review + 4 pitching changes. That isin’t that long.
They are not going to send CC out there just to get a win if it’s a long rain delay
SJ blaming Sabathia for not working fast enough is the most hilarious comment of the day.
There was a downpour, and it’s passing. The game will resume, there’s no reason to get your period before the game is over.

Funniest show on network television right now.
It sucks because the pen is now going to have to be used…………
The timing of the game stoppage was absurd. Can’t let the guy finish off the AB when you are one strike away from an official game?
If CC walks him or gives up a hit or something, then you can stop it, but you have to give him the chance to finish off that batter.
Looks like this might be another vulture win for Aceves, lol. Unless the Yankees let Sabathia come in and finish this inning. I was at a Yankees/Mets game two years ago where Pettitte came back after a 1 hr rain delay and pitched another 2 innings to pick up a win.
It’s too bad though that the Yankees might have to burn out Aceves when they probably want him fresh for Monday.
I am 100% in love with the boss’s daughter from the Heineken commercial.
Erica
Good points. Injury or mistake pitch. Maybe it was for the best.

I was not happy with the Johnson signing as well. I wanted Vladdy to make up for the mistake that George made for passing on him the first time and going with Gary
“SJ blaming Sabathia for not working fast enough is the most hilarious comment of the day.”
That’s how I know that it wasn’t the REAL SJ44 who posted that. The impostor strikes again!
If its under an hour, there is no harm in sending him out there.

Greenberet, you do realize that when we look back at this season and I am right that you will be both the fool and idiot, right?
Of course by that time you will conveniently claim that never happened. Idiot.

To my totally inexperienced eye, but long time viewing of games, in the last 2 days HUGHES is by far the better pitcher.

meanwhile, I am watching Iron Man 2 online.
Movie kind of boring though. Save your money.
CC had to hit someone today after that pathetic effort by Beckett last night. He is a team leader and he acted like it today.
Too bad that the umps did not let CC finish the at bat to VMart, but it was pouring pretty hard. I live about 15 miles north of the bandbox.

“The rain has died down. It looks like they’ll be able to keep playing. No word yet on whether Sabathia will stay in the game.”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You had better believe Sabathia is staying in this game, he isn’t going to let the umps rob him of a chance to win today.
If I know Sabathia he is going back out.
SAS, by the way, I’m sorry for snapping at you before. I really wasn’t trying to get a discussion about Phil again; I just thought it would be interesting to compare them because they’ve been compared for years. Yes, I think it’s safe to say that Phil is better………he’s certainly younger, lol
Friday Night Lights is one of the best shows on the tele.
Oh and Erica it’s not the final season, there will be a season 5.
For the fans, season 4 is excellent, I have seen all of it, and one episode in particular is so good, it will probably be one of the best hours of television for the entire year.
If anyone has Netflix you can catch up on the previous years on there.
Seasons 1.3 and 4 are excellent, season 2 not as good.
CR,
it’s the same person using four different names.
That’s what the gutless chlidren do when they know nothing.

Something has to be done with imposters; I’m sorry, but for a blog of this magnitude, it’s embarrassing. We can only hope that the regulars here know each other by now to know when a post is made by the real thing or the imposter
I had a bad feeling about McClellan from his comments yesterday saying they were going to “watch” CC and it was ridiculous for the Yanks to think that Beckett was throwing at them. He also referred to Beckett as “Josh”. Who refers to a player by their first name unless they know them or are friendly with them – that was very unprofessional. I can understand if everyone referred to him that way (a la CC, AJ, Joba, etc.), but nobody called Beckett “Josh” just like nobody refers to Jeter as “Derek”. Expect nothing less from Selig’s cronies of umps, especially the ones he assigns to Fenway Park.
im predicting cc will be just to finish the 5th even if he just throws 88 mph fastballs.
Erica,
I heard rumors that next year might be the last season but nothing concrete. Its a shame that great shows such as My so called life,freaks and Geeks and this show can’t run its true lifespan because of idiots.
will the Yanks send Russo down after the weekend and recall Miranda?
You know it’s a fake CR9 when he has something good to say about an umpire/referee!!
Just have C.C. get just loose enough to pitch to one hitter / one out as the bullpen starts working. Obviously, Laptop is done for the day.
Only David Robertson is not available from throwing 24 pitches last night and Boston has never faced Romulo Sanchez.

Even Brett Pedroia is posing as SJ44 now..
(sorry, unnecessary but I had to)
Wait, I amend that previous statement. Andre Marriner was fair to Manchester United in a game a week or two ago. And umpire Balkin Bob Davidson was fair to us in a game a few weeks ago, as the HP umpire.
Not a fake!
I’ve been @the gym and just catching up on the game now…
does anyone else wish Fox could extend their “Moment of silence for Ernie Harwell and Robin Roberts” for the entire game?
ESPN should then follow suit tomorrow night.
It’s like a beautiful reprieve.
I want to see Rumolo Sanchez in this game blowing his 97 MPH heat by Donald McDonald and Bill Hall.
Rick, no way – CC getting a win is not the most important thing. If he’s able to come out, then let him come out and pitch as far as can go. If he’s not, then you don’t send him out for even one pitch.
Got to go. Make the Yankees win!!!!
Did anyone else hear Buck ask Rosenthal about Ortiz possibly being released, because of his lack of production
I’ll bet CC has worked Joe over into letting him come out for 1 out.
“Even Brett Pedroia is posing as SJ44 now..”
Poor Dustin. He’s a good guy that has had to deal with a lot!

Not sure what I would do. CC has nothing today but the pen for 4 innings is scary.
Hughes pitching yesterday was outstanding – dominant performance.
Buckholtz was OK, Tex got him out of first inning or the Yanks could have 8 or 9 runs.
Know all Yankee fans and guessing most Sox fans would rather have Hughes on their staff. It is exciting and a real joy watching him mature and become the front line pitcher that he is.
I thought this is a 30 minute delay. It has been an hour. What happened?
I would be SHOCKED if CC comes back out.
This 1 game is just not worth any risk, even if it’s small.

Does anyone know who we got back when we dealt Tyler Clippard away to the Nationals? He now has allowed only 2 runs in 22 innings with an ERA under 1.00. I think Cashman royally blew it on this one. He looks like one of those guys who took a little while to mature. Boy it would be nice to have that one back. I hate seeing home grown guys prosper in other uniforms ala Jackson in Detroit and Clippard.
*************************************************************************
Tyler Clippard was sent to the Phillies along with a prospect C.J. Henry for Bobby Abreu way back when…
Actually it was CB and not SJ44 who originally made the observation that C.C. did a bad job of not picking up his pace in that 5th inning with a downpour imminent.
Watch this you will all feel better
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v.....re=related
Hopefully Ace can give us a few innings and bring it to Joba; I don’t trust anyone else in the pen except Mo.

Do you ever watch TV shows on DVD? You could just pick the important shows to watch on DVR, and then buy other shows on DVD!

Looking at the ATL/Phi game, and foxy just showed a shot of Contreas’s mother in the audience who is 75, he looks just like her, no disrespect intended.
Looks like it’s gonna be at least an hour and a half delay. No way cc coming back out.
Ken,
Champ is wrong, Clippard was actually dealt for Jonathan Albaladejo. He wasn’t part of the Abreu trade.
Heard somewhere that at 7:30 that no matter what, FOX will cut away from the game and show NASCAR racing?
Does anyone know if that is true?

Nascar takes over on FOX.
6:20 start time
Aww, lay off of Nick – his heart can’t take all the cholesterol. Besides, a shake is smooth and calm and that’s what Phil is.
If I go to Phive Guys tonight for a burger and Phries, I will raise a toast to our Young Master.
wow it will start on FX
The remainder of the game will be shown on
FX
No offense to any NASCAR fans out there, but what the hell is the appeal to that?
The only way I could conceivably be interested is if I was driving one of the cars…
FOX just announced that the game will resume at 6:20 on FX.
I guess that demonstrates their dedication to baseball.
I have to figure out what channel FX is now?????

It is important that the regulars write to Chad and Sam and even LoHud management about the quality of some of the postings, especially the impostor posting of SJ. Those are well beyond anything I have seen on here. It is not a joking matter to write a pedophilia post. It is not only against the law but revolting to any moral standards. Please write to Chad and Sam about this.
Erin, if you have Netflix, you will burn through the entire first season of Party Down very quickly.
It’s a well done take on Hollywood with just the right level of sarcasm and bitterness, mixed in with some heart.
Any show or movie that is on Starz, is on Netflix to watch, that’s a great thing with Netflix nowadays, there volume of streaming shows and films, has drastically gone up in the past year.
Another show to watch is Spartacus, it’s very 300 in regards to the blood flowing, but after the first couple of episodes when the story kicks in, it is a really fun well done little show

Betsy is right, I’ve written to Chad about this in the past. He does the best he can, but 1)he’s a writer/reporter, not a cop for idiots, and 2) the jerks go to different IPs.
The best we can do is to not respond to the dopes, even to joke or make fun of them. They are offensive. We need to be consistent in this. Outside of just not reading comments anymore, I truly do not know what else to do.
the people who are into “Maid in Manhattan” are about to become really, really bummed.
LGY, sad, isn’t it? It will be better post-game, but it’s a shame that things had to come to this.

I do not know why they cannot go to a registration system. It is simple to implement. If LoHud wants this much traffic, then they need to either moderate the posts or do something constructive, instead of saying they cannot do anything — that is just not true. Also an ignore button can be put in to ignore certain posters. There is technology that can do this. Truly offensive posts should not simply be ignored they should be reported and something done about it. I am not talking about the various diatribes that go on, I am talking about the really offensive ones. If we as readers demand that something be done about it, LoHud will have to respond. This problem is not simply going to go away.
This really sucks this game is on FX.
Now I have nothing to watch during the commercials.
Thank you FX for acknowledging that you have ruined the lives of the 3 people watching Maid in Manhattan
How does redneck nascar trump baseball.

Alright!!!

I guess if your Girardi you dont let CC go out with the intention of him only finishing that inning. You only send CC back out with the intent of him going deeper in this game which Girardi was not willing to do apparently.

There’s a video of Phil talking to Kim. Can’t watch it. I was laughing at his shirt. Black checked dress shirt.
This place really needs registration. It wouldn’t eliminate all the stupid nonsense, but it would curb quite a bit of it.
But the powers that be at LoHud believe that quantity, regardless whether it’s offensive, idiotic, or moronic, is far more important than quantity.
This is the reason why I tend to stay away from the game threads.
It really is a shame.
Have Yanks stolen even one base against the sox so far?
wth is Jeter swinging at?
thanks for nothing. jeter been pathetic
This is pathetic. Now they laud Pedroia again.
Jeter did not swing at anything near the plate
that was an awful ab by jeter…swung at 2 terrible pitches and hit into a dp…yeesh
Anyone else in the Albany area have any idea why the Yanks aren’t on?? FOX has on every body loves raymond!
That’s what happens when you don’t steal. Double Play, for the three time in this game.
Jeter looked really bad that AB.
Way behind on the fastball and then just trying to put it in play down 0-2.
Delcarmen isn’t that hard to figure out.

Poor Aceves.
Hopefully it’s not too bad.
So the deal is, we trade the health of one player for every win now????
It’s been working in the short term, but… talk about unsustainable.
this confirms again that most baseball players are not athletes.
Strange.
Our depth is really being tested so far this year.

They are taking it into their own hands, since when they left it to the umpires, the umpires could not succeed.

Base on extrapolation, we have enough players to play games until June 3.
Beyond that, we will have to seriously consider forfeiting the rest of the season.
That rain delay really hurt. CC usually gives the Yankees length and they lost him after 4 2/3.
We’re just showing the rest of the league, that yes we have high priced stars but we also have a farm system that is deeper then many except it to be, our depth is proving itself.

We can REALLY use a Part 2 to this game thread……..
The Yankees bullpen was supposed to be strong in long relief with Aceves, Park, and Mitre. Now we have Romulo Sanchez and Boone Logan to hold down the fort when the starters can’t get through 6 innings.

Jerk,
Exactly. Look at the other blogs of all the beatwriters combined, and they don’t get the comments in a year that this blog gets in an hour.
Registration = loss of volume. LoHud isin’t stupid… they have a great thing here and are by far the most popular source of information/conversation of any Yankee site and they are not going to screw it up just because a couple of morons post.
If registration was feasible, they would have done it by now.
Could there be a more annoying girl sitting by the camera????
The one bright spot with the injuries is that they are happening fairly early in the season. If this were August or September, it would be more of a problem.
“Could there be a more annoying girl sitting by the camera????”
no
@George. No official word yet, though…hopefully he’ll be okay or else our bullpen is … a little thin…and that’s being nice.

I didn’t realize it before, but A-rod is approaching 600 HR. I notice that he gets constipated

The problem with it is that the nonsense drives away the smart posters and the entire blog suffers for that reason.
when we look back at 2010, we will probably say Beckett drilling Cano is turning point of the season as that’s when Cano’s batting average started taking a dive.
Yanks are 9 outs away from a 21-8 start.
Despite and considering some injuries, that is really an amazing start.

thank God Tim McCarver does not work a suicide prevention hotline on his off hours
A-Rod plays well so far this season, except not hitting homers.
I have never had as much of an issue with ignoring trolls as some…
however, registration would likely help get rid of the worst 1-2% of posters who come here with the intent to incite and/or offend the rest of us.
There’ll never be a way to cure the general overreactions of many on the blog after every pitch or every time the Yanks fall behind by a run.

You not following the timeline though. All you are doing is assuming the conclusion.
When Feisand started his blog, I went over there and checked it out. There were literally no comments there, so i felt no incentive to go in there and post to myself. The lack of registration did not provide any incentive to post.
It is not about registration. It is about the comments.
If all the regulars on here registered and posted, there would still be tons of comments. When people see tons of comments on a website, they are intrigued. That will drive them to register. And that is what keeps away most of the trolls.
You cannot compare websites who started with registration to a website that has a huge following and shifted to it. It is just lazy logic.
“I didn’t realize it before, but A-rod is approaching 600 HR. I notice that he gets constipated around milestones.”
Well, I’m going to send him some Pepto to clear that right up.
I agree that the rotation and offense will be fine health-wise, but it’s the bullpen that I’m worried about.
Aceves was a rock last year, and you can make the argument that he was even more valuable than Rivera (10-1 record, 85 ip). Without him to eat up innings, guys like Robertson and Marte are going to have to pitch in more high leverage situations. And if they stink it up, Joe’s going to have to leave them in anyway because he needs to get innings from somewhere.
I just hope this injury is only a minor tweak that he’s had before, where he needs 3-4 days of rest and then is good to go. But even that might put the team in jeopardy of wins if Mitre and/or Vazquez are inneffective in Detroit.
if everyone could just ignore the trolls, that would work too.
With Robertson struggling the bullpen is very thin. They have 2 lefties and Joba. They need to get Robertson straightened out.
Guiseppe Franco,
Some of the regulars ( a lot) actually avoid the game threads. It’s not a bad idea, though I don’t always adhere it to it myself.
Ken Rosenthal and Prince are about the same height.
/Pedroia’d.
Hi everyone.
Thanks to the people who mentioned where we could find the game, and we just tuned in.
Nice to see Cano in the lineup!
I’d imagine Posada didn’t play due to the weather – one more precautionary day?
I hope Aceves isn’t badly hurt, but bad backs – tricky things.
As far as GTLU – yankswin27 and 86w183 came closest without winning as against the original lineup. Obviously, no one guessed Cano would play. Thanks to everyone who participated. I am not counting today’s GTLU in the standings.
Even though we have guys going down left and right everyone is stepping up

Suffers so much it has 1400 comments???
————-
Oh, come on. So an increased number of comments from idiots and trolls is worth it even if it’s driving away the smart regulars from commenting?
Yes. Posada out due to weather; he’s going to DH tomorrow and catch Monday I think.
Wow, I come home to find that now Ace is hurt? If it’s his back…………I said in ST that this is going to be a bad situation. No one is going to feel sorry for us, but this is beyond frustrating.
Oh, come on. So an increased number of comments from idiots and trolls is worth it even if it’s driving away the smart regulars from commenting?

Oh no, CB isn’t here to post a paragraph about why X event is the definitive moment in the career of Y pitcher. Gameday threads are mostly for complaining and cheering.
Doreen-
My GTLU winning percentage is seriously tanking. None tomorrow right?
Frankie is awesome!
EVen if you ignore the trolls, you still have to scroll past their stupid remarks and, I’m sorry, but they pollute this place. Chad and Sam need to take care of the imposters – there is no place for that; I’m sorry to ask this, but I wonder how hard they are trying?
I don’t even remember the start of this game
RS,
I’m with you – hopefully it is a minor thing.
With Vazquez/Mitre going in Detroit, the bullpen is going to be hammered. We really need to straighten it out soon.
Hopefully someone is pitching good in AAA that they can bring up. The bullpen is going to get abused Mon and Tues with Mitre and Vazquez pitching.

Same here. I think this is only the second time I’ve commented on a game thread so far in the early season.
Jeez How badly do you think the Sox would love to have Cervelli in their system? They would kill for a young catcher like that….. Lets offer him up for Casey Kelly haha

lmao, nice.
“So an increased number of comments from idiots and trolls is worth it even if it’s driving away the smart regulars from commenting?”
To the LoHud bottom line, probably yes. Lace and Stilleto would probably appreciate more idiot commenters too.
Are the FOX Yankee games rebroadcast on YES? Anyone?
No back injury is minor; Ace is not reliable anymore because you don’t even know if you can count on him in the middle of a game
All that has gone on today and our depleted roster, I think it is still safe to say the Yankees have a better team than the Red Sox.
can we use Igowa for one start, if necessary?
I wish I could enjoy this game more as we are winning. But all these injuries are becoming disquieting.
“Are the FOX Yankee games rebroadcast on YES? Anyone?”
as far as I know, No.
Hi Erica -
Today doesn’t count and you won yesterday, so you’re okay!
There will absolutely not be GTLU tomorrow. I can guarantee it. We’ve got to be out of the house by, like, 10:30-ish.
DYNASTY IS DESTINY! May 8th, 2010 at 7:17 pm
Are the FOX Yankee games rebroadcast on YES? Anyone?
************
Nope. They would have to buy the rights for that
No they aren’t……….sorry!
Schoewenweiss is burned for tomorrow. No big deal, but their pen will be short, too.
By the way, and to be clear, if someone had won today I would have counted the results.
“Are the FOX Yankee games rebroadcast on YES? Anyone?”
No, but there is a postgame on YES after tonights game.
Whatever, Jerkface.
Some of the regulars would like to save this blog from turning into a total cesspool. Obviously, you’re not interested. Good for you.
D-Rob nooooo
Agree Betsy, back injuries are the worst.
Never know when it will act up and in the back of your mind you are always worrying about it.
here we go Robertson 123 7th 3 ks
Mariano Duncan:
We play today, we get hurt today = Dassit
Boy, just read Chad’s updates. Cervelli isn’t just getting hits, but important hits. Nice for him, nice for the Yankees!
Aceves has problems with Lower Back. Just heard it on the Press Box announcement at Fenway. Heard it on the radio broadcast.
Sniff lower back for Aceves.
Here comes Robertson. Hopefully this is the good Robertson.
Registration will get rid of imposters and posters who post malicious/racist/sexist things.
However, registration will not get rid of the ‘morons’, which is what I believe most people want.
Sure, you won’t get anymore fake SJ’s, but you will still get the hundreds of posters who panic and post idiotic things after losses. So you will still be seeing plenty of muck even with registration.
You are not going to get rid of the “Granderson sucks! Bring back A-Jax” or “The Angels are purposely throwing games against the Sox” or “Ugh, we lost a series, season over. Boston is gonna get on a roll, we are in a lot of trouble”, etc. etc. etc.
So really, I don’t think registration solves the complaints that the regulars have. It only solves part of the problem.
Reminder: Betty White is hosting SNL tonight. I know that there are a few fans of “The Golden Girls” who frequent this board so just thought I’d put that out there.
HA Igawa? lol
Robertson just needs regular work. He hadn’t been getting it due to the rotation’s run of dominance.
More rain in 5-10 minutes…
Robertson has to stay with his fastball. He has no command with his curveball.
Joba’s up
I thing this Fem Way field is booby-trapped for us………..
I don’t want to smell Aceves’ lower back.
where was that pitch?
Laura -
Thanks for that reminder.
Registration will get rid of imposters and posters who post malicious/racist/sexist things.
–
Registration only gets rid of imposters. The only thing that gets rid of the latter is censorship.
That 0-1 pitch was a BUchholz strike. Instead of 0-2, 1-1 and a base hit.
WHERE WAS THAT PITCH on Pedroia??????????????
Of course the pitch right down the middle is not called a strike so then Robertson throws one right down the middle and he gets a hit. Now the 1st pitch to the smurf isn’t called a strike.
And I am not even saying registration would absolutely work.
But just saying it over and over without a firm basis to compare it to, does not make it true.
Come on D-Rob, throw strikes….

Dave, dont let the HP umpire ruin your pitching!
Would they really go into another rain delay??
This is how HP Umpires changing the complexion of AtBats.
registration will force the dummies to come up with an original name so they can post their stupid crap.
There are not even 1400 comments on this thread yet, another lie.
Dave got cheated in 2 straight ABs, and as a result, 2 straight hits.
Poor D-Rob. This is just sad man.
Registration provides more headaches than fixes. It will create a user database that LOHUD will have to monitor or pay a company to monitor. You will get complaints from ‘registered users’ who lose their password or whatever and want to get their name back.
For a blog its not worth it, and LGY, while registration might not kill the blog, every blog that has it sucks. I think thats evidence enough against implementing it, even if there are no case studies of a website with a following implementing it.
Come on Jobaaaa
D-Rob was robbed by the Umps.
No surprise that Joe Buck raises his voice over 2 singles down 5 runs.
at least d-rob managed 1 out..
David Robertson would appear to be a useless pitcher now. How about that.
You cant say that Joe doesn’t give Drob plenty opportunities to get his act together.
That censorship stuff is BS.
This isn’t the government.
LoHud is a private enterprise and can rule this blog anyway they want. It’s all perfectly legal and every other newspaper blog does it.
Even when D-Rob comes in and makes good pitches, it just happens to be against the Sox, where the HP umpires cheat us the most.
i’m pretty sure robertson remembers the way to the ballpark in scranton…
Too bad Robertson couldn’t go a complete inning. Hope he figures it out.
Please Joba dont throw the ball anywhere near Youkilis, or the pig will come out after you.
d-rob…………
Not sure what censorship rights you’re raging about Giuseppe. I just said that registration doesn’t stop people from posting stupid stuff, only censorship does. Registration only makes it so you need a unique name.
And sometimes thats not even the case, you could easily log in via email address and choose a display name. In which case imposters still exist.
Robertson has to pick it up if aceves is seriously hurt.
wow, drob has given up 16 hits in 8 innings!
Looks like Aceves is gonna get another win!!.. Great for him..
Too bad for Sabbathia… “If only.. One more pitch!”
Where was that pitch????
“…and every other newspaper blog does it.”
Yes, but Jerkface has already pointed out what every other newspaper blog also has in common.
If they don’t give you the inside corner and they don’t give you the outside corner, where do you throw the ball? Down the middle and you see what happens.
I suppose at some point Robertson is going to have to go elsewhere to work it out, I think, though.
# Erica – always OPPC – Sesame Street Mafia and GTLU supporter May 8th, 2010 at 7:26 pm
Would they really go into another rain delay??
—————-
If another rain delay occurs, I would hope they call it. Under the new rules, that would mean the 7th inning basically gets erased, and the Yankees still win 6-3.
FX is preempting Dick and Jane. Surprised since Fox didn’t televise the game in my area.
You have no idea when a strike is a strike or a ball is a ball with this ump.
They cheated Joba on the 0-1 pitch. Thankfully, it did not cost him.
I hope Joab won’t choke here.
Ace should see the chiro that treated me. He’s the same guy who treated Michael Strahan for a spell. His name is Dr. Angelo Colavita and he has a N NJ practice.
OMG!
YES!!!
Joba got cheated on the 0-1 pitch to Youkilis!
2nd pitch to Yuk was a strike. But that’s okay.
These umpires will never be fair, will they?
“Ace should see the chiro that treated me.”
I totally thought that was a racial slur for a second.
Joba vs Kevin Useless, Joba win again!!
Win this one and we win the series; playing with house money tomorrow.
I totally thought that was a racial slur for a second.
–
Censor that post
It’s funny how the only innings where the Sox threaten is when Martinez and Youk come up to the plate. The bottom of their order has been a complete non-factor this series.
JZ, Eric and pat,
Thanks for the info…will it be rebroadcast on FOX or some other channel?
Someone used a racial slur on here last night, that nobody even noticed. I thought it best to not draw any attention to it.
Who cares about stupid trolls fellas, when we dominate their dumb teams it just makes them look dumb anyway
Jeter looked like he beat that out.
I think Fox is an absolute disgrace. Baseball is a game without time constraints. If they can’t commit to the completion of the game, they shouldn’t have the privilege of airing the games.
m
Jeter was out.
“Win this one and we win the series; playing with house money tomorrow.”
—————
which means they may give Posada an extra day and Cano a day to both get to 100%.
With Lester throwing, Thames should play, you get a righty 2b in Pena, and Cervelli is also righty.
I think Jeter has passed Cano in swinging at more pitches out of the strike zone. Where did his patience go??!!
Dynasty query
better made in haiku form
boo Fox, boo FX
Tex needs a hit to stay over .200
gardner is hitting lefties
Look at the hitting of Gardner in this game alone. Unbelievably professional.
Was today a particularly bad day for trolling?
Nice hit – nicer catch.
GF – I’m inclined to side with you. I’ve been saying for a while that Robertson needs regular work. He’s succeeded at every level. He just needs to work to get it together.
Having said that, Brett gets another hit. I know it’s early, but he’s gotten it done at every level, also. He needs to run on Martinez now.
McDonald turned an easy catch into a tough one.
He practically walked to that ball.
I think Jeter has passed Cano in swinging at more pitches out of the strike zone. Where did his patience go??!!
–
He has already swung at more out of the zone pitches this season. On the whole he swings more than Cano.
Another “double” for Gardner.
Tex is really centering the ball now……….
Funny I thought they were talking about Brett not Austin Jackson..
There is some squadooooooosh yelling AROID!
Ahhh, Sox down 8-3 and about to fall below .500 again.
all they have left to cheer is when Schoenweiss misses his spot by 5 feet and almost hits ARod in the shoe.
yay!
Of course fox goes crazy about Austin Jackson a month into the season. Um how about we wait more than a hand full of games before we say how great he is. They are so stupid..
Stealing a base on the RS is like stealing candy from a baby.
Sox catchers are pathetic behind the plate…….not that I’m complaining…
FOX gave this game a 4.5 hour window. The NASCAR only starts at 7:30. Since this game was undoubtedly going to exceed 730, they decided to just move the whole thing to FOX.
yanks732
Yes. They were about to talk about Gardner, but then decided it best not to laud any Yankees.
I just love the way Gardner is playing right now. I just hope he won’t get hurt.
Derek Jeter has 5 walks.
Thames and Cervelli both had 4 going into today, so Cervelli is tied. Robinson Cano has 3 more than Jeter.
He really needs to get his walks going. He has cut down his strike outs a little bit, but enough to justify walking half as much.
is that 8 walks by Sox pitchers?
Good walk by Alex. All those sickie pooos yelling AROID!
“Someone used a racial slur on here last night, that nobody even noticed. I thought it best to not draw any attention to it.”
How do you know that everyone didn’t see it and treat it the same way you did?
(except me, I don’t know what you’re talking about.)
SchoenWorst
Perfect day for Alex. He’s due for 2 tomorrow. Homeruns that is.
Are they chanting Air-Rod? or Hair-Rod? Either way, it’s stupid.
Too bad Joe West isn’t umpiring this game. Going on hour #5 he would be crying like a 2 year old.
Joe Buck is awful.
He is to the Red Sox what Jim Nantz is to the Patriots.
Why not call him “Joe Orsillo” or “Don Buck”?
Tomorrow night we get the ESPN announcers. Don’t know which is worse-Fox or ESPN.
m
Steroids.
Nick
Good point. I counter that many on here respond much of the time when they see something objectionable.
Cano is dangerously close to doubling up BBs on Jeter
A-Rod’s power outage is very concerning. Has he ever gone a 6 week stretch with only hitting 2 HRs in his life?
He’s going to have to get red hot and have like a 12 HR month or else he might not hit more than 15-20 HRs this year. He still has bat speed, but hes not able to hit it out of the park.
Yes! We got Bard into the game.
Arms, arms, arms, use ‘em up!
I hope the yanks pile it on here and embarrass the sux
Of course fox goes crazy about Austin Jackson a month into the season. Um how about we wait more than a hand full of games before we say how great he is. They are so stupid..
……………………………….
We are fast approaching the quarter mark of the season, he’s hitting .370. He is definitely legit. Only the stubborn and stupid on this site denies it.
They were chanting AROID! Because it’s so clever!
FOX is worse than Joe Morgan/Jon MIller/Performing Orel
They said there were 4 teams that asked about Gardner for their center field position this off season.
Yankees said no; good call.
Oh yeah, “so far”
Adrian Beltre is on pace for 37 errors.
I guess I was wrong when I said he’s been “below average” so far.
He’s been atrocious.
So, Francona is going to his setup man, Bard, when they’re losing by 5 in the 8th inning. Amazing.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2 pointer! SWISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Swisher knew that fastball was coming all the way.
Nick is hot!
There you go! Swish is hot. And he’s a good hitter, too.
A-rod has gone: 32 , 18, 16, 15 (4), 14 (3), 13 (5), and 12 (6) games without a HR before.
Susan his FB is straight…
The ESPN booth isin’t bad, now that Oral Herchiser is there. He is very knowledgeable and not a Boston-schill.
Morgan is knowledgeable, but he loves to hear himself speak and thinks too many times makes the broadcast about him.
Miller is fine, much more professional than Buck, Shulman, O’Brien, McDonough, etc.
I don’t even mind McCarver… he is past his prime but still decent. It’s Buck and that Sox-schill Rosenthal that bring down the broadcast.
pull joba, go to marte or sanchez
BARD AKA MR. 100MPH HA!
Hmm, this score differential looks familiar.
Tito is so lame. I’m sorry, but he is. First he rides Schoewenweiss like a rented mule. And then he leaves him for 50 pitches.
He doesn’t even care about the poor guy.
LI,
I’ve always been a Gardner guy, even during the tireless “GGBG vs. Melky” debates from last year.
My hope was that he’d hit .270 and steal 30-40 bases. He has certainly played far better than anyone could have asked.
I’m impressed with the way the Yanks’ offense have continued to have good ABs and tack on runs in this game.
I’m a Robertson guy, too. He may need some time in Scranton, but I believe he’ll turn things around. As you stated, he’s done it at every level and was outstanding for this team last year.
Then again, with all of these guys going down, they probably can’t really afford to send Robertson down.
They really need Park back to eat up some of those innings.
Nice walk by Randy, for the WINN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nick – who said/wrote it?
Nobody is “legit” 20% into a baseball season.
Only the stubborn and stupid think otherwise.
Can we see some Rumolo Sanchez please!
Here comes Cervelli.
Thats not a strike.
m
He did the same thing with Billy Traber last year at the stadium.
Come on, baseball gods, hold off with the heavy rain until this game goes a full nine.
Winn has no shot to catch up to Bard’s 100 MPH fastball. That is the one area where he is a liability.
pat,
lol. didn’t hear that. it must be the quaint accent.
Well, one thing is for sure-
No one can complain about the Yankee offense this weekend so far
Cervelli!!!!!sdafsf
Giuseppe, I’ve also always liked Gardner……..He’s the kind of guy who would scare me on another team…once he gets on, he can run amok……..
Player of the game Cervelli.
Holy Cow!

Where’s that payback now JOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5 rbi ok me bad
a cerveza (beer) in honor of Cervelli…………..Mr. Enthusiasm, you have to love how excited the guy gets……
Cervelli is making MLB pitching look like a joke.
I can’t decide if the Red Sox fans still sitting in Fenway are admirable or dumb
Cervelli just hasn’t slowed done.
So far, he’s spitting on sabermetrics and statistics.
great job.
Sorry, meant to say that Tito’s been riding Schoenweiss like a rented mule all season. And on top of that he leaves him in 50 pitches.
Hopefully Robertson and Marte can get 6 outs. No reason to use Joba with a 9 run lead.
down*

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wheres your payback PEDROIA!!!!

I can see the NY Times headline now:
Yankees 12, Red Sox 3: Yankees Win but Take More Casualties, Part II
Joe From Long Island: I thought it was Burke, but when I googled it to get the precise language I read that it’s misattributed to him — or probably so. This is what I read on wikiquote:
“This is probably the most quoted statement attributed to Burke, and an extraordinary number of variants of it exist, but all without any definite original source. These very extensively used “quotations” may be based on a paraphrase of some of Burke’s ideas, but he is not known to have ever declared them in such a manner in any of his writings. It may have been adapted from these lines of Burke’s in his Thoughts on the Cause of Present Discontents (1770): “When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.”
Burke’s alleged quote bears a striking resemblance to the narrated theme of Sergei Bondarchuk’s Soviet film adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s book “War and Peace”, in which the narrator declares “All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing”, although since the original is in Russian various translations to English are possible.
http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/E.....attributed
where are the panicer’s (if thats word)? yanks babyyyyyyyy
Wait… why is Theo using his setup man in the 8th inning of a 12-3 game?
And if he wanted to bring him in, why did he wait until Scheoweiss imploded to do so? Don’t you bring in the better pitcher to start the inning?
Theo has some very strange BP tendencies.
BryanHoch Red Sox have outfielder Jonathan Van Every warming in the ‘pen to take one for the team.
Joba’s already in, but I don’t know if he’ll stay in.
Ortiz just called Cervelli the best clutch hitter and baseball
Alex….Red Sox pitchers ARE a joke! lol….j/k. Frankie deserves lots of credit. He’s making the most of his opportunity, and he brings a TON of energy to the game.!
I meant Marte and the AAA guy. Let Russo get an at bat.

A lot of those fans are us:)
Swish took it to Bard, swoosh!!
Winn has morphed into Nic Johnson, drawing walks.
Cerevelli is batting .429 baby.
A 4 run inning it was great, Ya think the Yankees aren’t in the bosox head?
I thought this game was over when the Sox lead 3-2?
That’s what the troll brigade insisted after CC gave up the Martinez HR.
Since then, the Yankees have scored 10 unanswered runs.
You clowns watch much baseball before posting these ace predictions?
Is it wrong to be this excited over an early May game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
translated from Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace
Russo sighting!
What in the hell is Joba doing out there with a 9 run lead with the possibility of needing him tomorrow.
King Joba May 8th, 2010 at 7:56 pm
SJ-what is your take on Cervelli?
……………………………….
SJ44 is in hiding/silent protest because Austin Jackson once again did so well today.
Russo
Why is Joba pitching with a 9 run lead? Especially with a wet mound? Makes no sense…
Jonathan Van Every warming up in the pen to maybe pitch the 9th for the Sox….. Yes He’s an outfielder
@ Erica….don’t forget; those tickets cost about $500 each, so probably a good idea to stay lol.
Bard is awesome……………Vs the O’s, Royals,White Sox etc.
I love how on a 200m team, the two best hitters right now are making about a million dollars combined.
Why people so worried with A-rod not hitting home runs? He’s driving in runs every game and playing great defense. As long as he’s not hurting us, I’m sure the home runs will come. He can hit 4-5 in one week and be up to 7 bombs in a flash.
The Karate Kid
Kevin la Russo is in at 2B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
27 Dresses… woohoo!!!!!
Is Joba out there to hit someone?? lol

Good point
My dad called me two weeks ago and asked if I would rather see the Yankees play Baltimore for $75 or Boston for $200 (in the same seats).
I will be seeing Baltimore on June 1st
My take on Cervelli is, the Red Sox need to give him the Bonds Treatment and just walk him because he owns them!
Seriously, he and Gardner have been terrific so far.
Can’t ask for more from either guy.
Changes the dimension of the team because they are legit, bottom of the order threats.
That’s unnecessary. If you’re going to walk someone, you may as well drill him and save the extra pitches.
Strikes, Joba!!!!!
Erica -
I kinda liked that movie, even though I don’t really like Katherine Heigl.
Joba not making friends walking people with a 9 run lead.
Stop getting on people SJ44, just watch some baseball and enjoy.
Just because people act like ‘clowns’ doesn’t mean you have to call them that, it will get more irate in here if ya do so. Your very insightful don’t get me wrong, but don’t pick on them because of how they act or because of your higher knowledge of the game
Doreen
I agree. Decent movie, but dont like Heigl!
Nope, I’m right here.
Unless you can’t read.
Since I’m 2 for 2, I’ll make the bold prediction about tomorrow. The Yankees will sweep.
Anyone who tried to sell this Sux team as anything but mediocre at best obviously wasn’t watching them play! Their team is a mess.
Joba looks so uncomfortable on the wet mound.
Nice pitch.
i wonder if they’ll dh cervelli on monday when jorge catches.
if Joe West weren’t already ticked off, this pitching change just blew his lid
Poor Beltre. Not.
Doreen – GTLU Stuff & Photos May 8th, 2010 at 8:02 pm
Strikes, Joba!!!!!
Erica -
I kinda liked that movie, even though I don’t really like Katherine Heigl.
**************
Heigl bugs me way too much. But I did like her on Greys the first few seasons until she started saying stupid stuff to the press
Cant we bring Jon Albaladejo to Boston for tomorrow and have him charge Lester on the mound from the bullpen, and then fight the entire Boston team on his own.
Then he can end up with the raccoon eyes he had last year!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joelsherman1 Cervelli has 5 RBIs, the most by a #Yankees catcher v. #Redsox since — wait for it — Yogi Berra had 8 on 7/3/57
I’m 2 for 2 too. Cha-ching!
I am so smart, I am so smart, S-M-R-T… I mean, S-M-A-R-T!
I would let Sanchez pitch the 9th. It’s probably won’t be Mo.
Heigl got too full of herself, upset at the amount of screen time she was receiving on Greys in comparison to her costars.
GF,
I’d be shocked if it’s not Sanchez.
I am glad Joe Buck feels our pain.
Sincerely
MARTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It wasn’t even just the trolls who claimed the game was over at 3-2; one fairly regular poster started the whole thing with his ridiculous statement that CC hitting Pedroia wasn’t worth the probable loss.
The Yankees keep getting injured and they keep pouring it on; they are humiliating the Sox right now, lol. The Rays are getting much deserved love, but the Yanks deserve every bit of the same for playing incredible ball even through a rough schedule. Every time someone goes down, someone else steps up. Thames and Winn have been good and Cervelli has been a dream.
I love this team.
Marte made that look easy
You guys, what channel is the game on? I just got home and they’re broadcasting NASCAR on FOX. I feel a bit lost.
If Cervelli continues to develop (I know he wont hit .400) into a productive hitter how does it effect Romine and Montero or is Cervelli ultimately stuck as the back up catcher.
Nice, nice, Damaso!
Joe Buck sounds devastated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is still one more whole inning….
predictions for the final score with Van Every coming in to face the top of the order?
I’ll put the over/under at 1.5 runs this inning for the Yanks.
I also tried to tell you that this Sux team was just awful this year. Maybe now you’ll listen when I talk.
it’s on F/X
Nice appearance by marty.
BTW if Jeter doesn’t draw a walk from Van Every, I’m seriously going to worry about his isoD.
Let’s go Jazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz !
Beat the Los Angeles Red Sox of Basketball !
CR9 -
I know. But did she ever think it was because she stunk?
Van Every is gonna pitch ><
Nicely said Betsy!
I think Robertson is a very talented young pitcher who is just having problems, problems which are not unfixable. This happens to plenty of pitchers and if he has to go down, it’s not the end of the world. Remember Cliff Lee? He broke in with promise, struggled so terribly that he had to be sent down and returned to win the Cy Young.
Jeter probably strikes out against Every.
Van Every is no Nick Swisher!
“If Cervelli continues to develop (I know he wont hit .400) into a productive hitter how does it effect Romine and Montero or is Cervelli ultimately stuck as the back up catcher.”
I don’t know the schedule for bringing those guys up but I can’t see Cervelli staying as a back-up catcher. I think he would be starting for most teams. The kid is just great.
Jeter is just wrong lol
Time to pad those stats!
LOL @ Van Every
The game is on FX
The Fox network likes NASCAR
J-Lo fans can fume
Every:
change up
LOL
can i change my over/under?
Smart move taking out Joba you want his pitch count to go up in a blow out. You want him available tommorow.
Thanks, BD
Ashamed to admit she kind of liked 27 Dresses too.
Thanks Erica! I really admire this team and not just because I’m a fan; they are incredibly resourceful.
Don’t forget that YES has the post-game!
Ha!
Oh jesus. Van Every pitching to the top of the order!
CBS Sports has just labeled Posada as “hot” in fantasy baseball. LOL
To be fair, her story lines on Gray’s after the first year were way out there. (Not that the other story lines were much more in there
) I stopped watching regularly after the 2nd season.
BloggingBombers Do you realize that Kevin Russo’s first MLB at-bat isn’t even going to come against a pitcher?
So…will this game be rebroadcast on any channel?????
Cervelli is not great. Lets have some objectivity.
Those kind of statements like Gardner being compared to HOF is what fuels a lot of the idiocy on this board.
Maybe we should have some mercy let this shameful display end.

*************
5 hours + of game time. I may have to just skip a post game. Seeing the end of this game is starting to feel like a mission
Sox are not going to be happy that we are taking pitches against Van Every… they might see it as disrespectful that we want to try and score more.
They might drill us again tomorrow.
Tod
The Yankees last year, had the most homegrown Yankees in the majors,56% or 14 of the 25
How embarrassing for the Sox….
Gardner is never gonna live that down.
Gardner will never live down having the ball knocked out of his hand and striking out. lol.
wow what a joke….so unfair to gardner
Brett just got himself a Kangaroo Court fine
This is actually kind of sad to watch.
Well, maybe not that sad!
Tex 3 hrs!!!
WOW
TEX!!!!!
Gardner displaying class. Struck out on purpose.
*bat
And Tex just crushed that offering.
LMAO
I believe in granola bars
Man I was hoping Alex would get 1 more ab. Cuz I felt he was about to hit one out.
don’t ever give up an at-bat!
Now you know those bastards will sure drill Tex tomorrow.
If the Sox want to embarrass themselves and put a pitcher out there the Yankees should make it as miserable for them as possible.
These are professional baseball players getting paid to hit. No reason to give away any at bats, regardless of the situation.
They are going up there like it was any normal pitcher.
Cervelli is like Austin Jackson…. a decent player who happens to be on a prolonged hot streak.
Let’s calm down. He is still the best BU in baseball.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just finished walking the dogs to see Brett Gardner get cheated on strike 3!!
And then TEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would love it if the posters who complain bitterly about Tex not getting hot early enough remember how he makes up for it once he does!!! The guy just takes a while to heat up. And with the record the Yankees have, it apparently doesn’t hurt them!
Yanks have put up 2 TDs to one Sox field goal………….
Tex channeling his inner-Reggie Jackson.
lol that was a ball to gardy but wow Teix crushed that. Embarassing night for red sox nation.
I wonder how many players have made their MLB Debuts hitting against a position player…?
I told you* that Tex was going to have a great day!
Maybe now you’ll listen when I talk!
Attention must be paid!
(* in this case ‘you’ refers to my brother when he texted me and asked what my wagers for the game were; I told him that, among others, I took the Tex vs. Youk in hits/runs/rbi’s prop bet. Go Tex!)
of course I’m playing against Tex in fantasy
nice one Erica
put a *hitter* out there
Trisha
Dont ever feel pity for the Sox.
This is not sad!
Not in the least!
LGY, exactly……..show no mercy, lol.
Teixeira is absolutely haunting this Boston team. I can’t even explain how people here feel about the guy. They don’t hate him, they LONG for him.
woo tex!
Get ready for Teixeira to go on an extended offensive rampage.
Make no mistake about it, the Yanks have absolutely humiliated the Red Sox all weekend long.
Injuries or not, these teams aren’t even close.
This is hilarious.
Teixeira has now hit HR from both sides of the plate 9 times. Niiiiiiiine times.
That AB may be the best sign that Cano is in a slump!
Snap out of it Robbie!!
Did my post just get eaten?
Nick – I wanted to thank you for the follow up. I’ve always been interested in Burke.

nice one Erica
***********
Thank you. But sadly, I still have no chance. LOL
I have massive pitching issues
Cano kind of cooling off… down to .348 now. He was hitting .390 just last week….
Hey nobody has ever come up with the nickname
TeXoxo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Poor kid, he’ll never, ever be able to bring down that 18.00 ERA.
He’s no Swisha.
BOSTON is DONE ! Stick a fork in them…..WHERE ARE THE TROLLS NOW ???
where’s Romulo?
isn’t this a perfect situation for him to pitch??
i wonder what’s going on in lucchino’s head right now. i bet he wishes he had offered 10/240 for the guy
Swish should pitch the 9th
Robbie will be fine…he probably shouldn’t have even played.
And in another strange confluence of averages. Cano & Gardner are both batting .348
Doreen
I agree about Heigl. Her acting is not the greatest.
Joe: my pleasure. I read some Burke in college
(by ‘read’ I mean that I bought the book.
)
The Red Sox quit on this game
Programming Note: YES has a post-game show.
