TIME/TV: 1:35 p.m., YES Network
* Don’t forget, today’s radio broadcast will be on WFAN
WEATHER: Still pretty windy from left to right, but it looks like the rain is finished. Looks to me like the Yankees are going to play both games today.
UMPIRES: HP John Hirschbeck, 1B Laz Diaz, 2B Vic Carapazza, 3B Wally Bell
SECOND TIME’S A CHARM: On Friday, the Yankees fell to 21-22 in series openers this season. However, tey have rebounded to go 29-13 in the second game of series.
PLAYING TWO (AGAIN): The Yankees are playing their third day-night doubleheader of the season. It’s their second doubleheader against (also July 30 at Yankee Stadium, a Yankees sweep). This is the Yankees first doubleheader in Camden Yards since 1999, when they split. This is the first time the Yankees have played two doubleheaders against Baltimore in the same season since 1996.
LIKE DEREK: Derek Jeter will become one of three active players to lead their current teams in games played. The others are Todd Helton (Rockies) and Michael Young (Rangers).
UPDATE, 2:20 p.m.: Jeter could break his shin on a foul ball, and he’d still argue to stay in the game. He literally looked wobbly stepping back in the box.
UPDATE, 2:25 p.m.: Colon looking a little more like the guy the Yankees saw in the first half. He’s through three innings, still a scoreless game.
UPDATE, 2:41 p.m.: Make that through four, still a scoreless game. Colon just got through Markakis, Jones and Guerrero in order.
UPDATE, 3:13 p.m.: Colon is still cruising, but the Yankees lineup has four hits and no runs heading into the top of the seventh.
UPDATE, 3:28 p.m.: One run on two hits in the bottom of the seventh. The Orioles have a 1-0 lead, and the Yankees have two innings to get to this Baltimore bullpen.
UPDATE, 3:30 p.m.: Here’s Martin to pinch hit for Cervelli in the eighth. Need to get something going here, and Martin could tie this thing with one swing.
UPDATE, 3:39 p.m.: Colon back out for the bottom of the eighth. The Yankees have Granderson, Teixeira and Rodriguez to try to tie or win in the ninth
UPDATE, 3:58 p.m.: On the verge of escaping trouble, Colon gave up an RBI single before Boone Logan got the final out of the eighth. It’s now 2-0 heading into the ninth.
7 – 4 THHHHHHEEEEEEE YYYYAAAAAAAANKKKKKKEEEEEEEESSSS WWWWWWWWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Time to teach Buck and friends a lesson. Go Yankees ! ! ! !
Let’s go boys, put a whupping on these last place clowns.
Go Colon. Go Yanks.
Didn’t we put up 12 in first inning against this guy?
Did Tex really do that? Going the other way? What a novel concept even right handed.
There is the popup. WCYF, I think Tex’s charity too is a great thing, but I would rather have him perform on the field than perform charities off the field. He is OPSing at .850. Terrible
His charity can wait till the off season.
What makes the .850 OPS worse is that he has 35 homers
Many players do charitable work. I don’t think the two are connected in any way. Look at Granderson and D-Rob.
Please win two today. Hate the fact that Boston has four more victories. And Burnett’s pitching in Boston.
got a break there
Nice inning.
Of course one has nothing to do with the other. People just trying to be creative with their complaints.
Colon is throwing the ball well today-he’s keeping the ball down except when the glove is up like on the K of Markakis.
Burnett could take a lesson from Bartolo-if you miss, miss with the ball down, you have a chance to get a out that way.
Man, Tampa Bay doesn’t lose much either.
Yawn……………..
Come on Cano take this guy out.
VY fresh crab for everyone at LoHud?
Jim Palmer has already made the point that Hirschbeck, the home plate umpire, has a very wide strike zone.
the batters know it as well and it’s probably a big advantage to the Yankees in this game because they have more plate discipline and Colon has much better command than Britton and will be able to expand the zone at will.
Negative…………….maybe for Mick and Jake and a couple of others.
The Orioles announcers just never stop complaining and hating about the Yankees. Makes me sick.
WCYF:
There is nothing like fresh seafood right out of the water straight to the grill / table.
That one was actually a strike. Nice pitch.
Can anyone believe what Showalter’s problem is????
Gold Glove,
Palmer is easy on the ears (and eyes), but I couldn’t stand his partner so I switched to Kay & Singleton.
Palmer is usually respectful of the Yankees, so hopefully it’s the partner who’s doing all the whining.
Looks like aj is the low man on the totem pole.
I love colon and freddy then nova, cca hughes.
aj goes last on thurs in boston
FOR HIS LIFE…
Second break of the day.
Jim Palmer is as good as it gets for in-game baseball analysis, at the same level as Jim Kaat.
You can really learn something listening to him, it’s not often a Hall of Famer is able to communicate at the highest level.
Andruw is an awful outfielder.

Andruw is an awful outfielder.
———————–
10+ Gold Gloves say otherwise…
Colon is pounding the mitt, wherever cervelli puts it.
An efficient and effective Colon would greatly contribute to the cause on DH Sunday.
tomingeorgia August 28th, 2011 at 2:08 pm
Colon is pounding the mitt, wherever cervelli puts it.
———————
and Hirschbeck is letting him pitch the way Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz used to do pre-Questec-expand the zone at will.
The Sux aren’t second in the league in BB and OBP for nothing. They are going to sit fastball and wait for AJ to make mistakes over the plate which we all know he will because his command is so awful. They know he can’t throw his breaking ball or change for strikes; they aren’t going to swing at them.
Of course, I have now pretty much guaranteed he will throw a two-hitter.
MG
The only issue I have with him is he lets his obvious Orioles bias cloud his commentary. Anything close, the Orioles were robbed.
Even Kay I think is better at calling it like he sees it.
Jim Palmer did start Friday’s broadcast pointing out that it was fitting that the Orioles were playing the Yankees, because Mike Flanagan had to “deal with” their $200 million payroll. Sick of the Orioles and their announcers. I hope they finish in last place every year for the rest of my life.
MG: I’m talking today, not yesterday. Brooks Robinson was a gold glover today, but I wouldn’t want him playing third today.
crap, that hit Jeter right on the kneecap…
Indecision. Poor base running.
Not a good read by Cervelli.
Cervy owes Derek a hit.
anyone who can criticize a baserunner for stopping halfway on a ball that is short hopped by an outfielder and could have been caught obviously has never played the game at even a Little League level.
Offense has been in a terrible funk for the last week. Even the final win in Minnesota was because of solo homers and leaving a ton of runners on base.
Great defensive play by Cervelli – taking a hit away from his Captain…
Niblick August 28th, 2011 at 2:06 pm
Andruw is an awful outfielder.
===========
Hanging on for a paycheck is about it. He ‘was’ a 10 time GG, past tense.

——————-
disagree…cervelli was out either way, he should have kept running, he was doubled at 1st…singy is right.
if Cervelli stopped short of halfway or started back to 1st you could criticize him-he did neither. He went halfway and had to wait to see if Markakis would catch it. The O’s replay had a view from the 3rd base side of home plate and showed it.
By the time to ball hit the ground and Markakis made a clean pick he had a short throw to 2nd to get the force.
I’m not a big Cervelli fan but can’t knock him for that play.
mg-
that was definitely a weird play for cervelli, but he likely would have been out either at first or second by where he was playing it in no man’s land.
can’t say it was a bad play, but on the other hand, a really good base runner might have read the ball flight better and edged closer to second base.
hard to say though.
Yawn……………………….
I can see the point that he might have been out at 1st also but Markakis was running towards 2nd and would have had to turn completely around and throw to 1st, it would have been a tough play for him.
Either way, it’s a tough play and difficult to criticize a catcher for not being as good a base runner as a middle infielder or outfielder.
Love that pitch. A thing of beauty!
Randy
How’s the weather? Are you up on the roof?
Hard to say on that play. It really came down to the possibility of 1 out or 2. Singleton came to that conclusion right after he said that as a baserunner you want to be positive. If he hadn’t gone back and it was caught it’s a double play.
He may have been born with more speed or executed better, but you can’t blame Cervelli too much.
Let’s put it this way: The O’s right fielder had Cervelli hung out to dry, either way.

————————————————————————————————————————-
cervelli takes a lot of grief for a lot of things, mostly on defense and mostly well-deserved, but can’t really blame him a lot on that. I blame Jeter for not hitting it over the fence.
Imagine the whines if he had been doubled off of first base.
again, Cervelli didn’t turn back towards 1st, he simply stopped halfway.
Markakis had to make a perfect play to short hop the ball, if he doesn’t come up with it cleanly then he doesn’t get Cervelli.
boy, Britton is really dealing out there today…
I just dont think he got a good read on the ball. Not really blaming his base running. If you don’t get a good read, it’s hard to make a good descion.
“How’s the weather? Are you up on the roof?”
tar-
it’s not blowing hard enough here on cape cod to make it worth climbing out on the roof to watch the storm.
… actually now that i think about it, i am getting a bit of cabin fever. i’ll bet my wifi is pretty good up there for watching the yankee game.
Not often that Cano looks bad against any pitcher, including left handers, but, not looking good right now. He was 2-4 at game time.
Randy
Nooooo. I was just kidding.
.
How about the tourists did the storm scare everybody away. Or was it starting to slow down anyway.
Tar, you have a good point about the read, I just don’t expect a backup catcher to have great base running instincts-Martin is the exception to the rule.
GB, Britton has plus stuff, he usually doesn’t locate well-so far today he’s hitting his spots and with the big strikezone it makes it tough to work deep into counts consistently.
Randy l.-
Right smack dab in the middle of town
I’ve found a paradise that’s trouble proof (up on the roof)
And if this world starts getting you down
There’s room enough for two
Up on the roof (up on the roof).
Tar-
Price is really dealing- 12 strikeouts in 5 innings 5-0 Rays over Morrow and Blue Jays
“Either way, it’s a tough play and difficult to criticize a catcher for not being as good a base runner as a middle infielder or outfielder.”
mg-
having good baseball instincts has nothing to do with the position you play or how fast you run. some slow runners are really good base runners.
in cervelli’s defense, a heads up base runner would go over in his mind what to do in various scenarios. he would know the strength of the outfielder’s arms, how the pitcher is pitching the hitter, where the first baseman is playing etc, but it doesn’t cross your mind to think what you should do if the ball bloops in front of an outfielder like that.
i do think a really good base runner would have read the ball flight better because the ball flight was right in front of cervelli . again ,it would have been a plus play had he read it correctly.

Nice.

**********
Breaking News! Ken Singleton never played baseball above the Little League level.
maybe the Yankees should sign Andruw Jones’ mother as an assistant batting coach-Jones has been raking since she watched some video and called hiim…
“How about the tourists did the storm scare everybody away”
a bunch of stinking cowards i tell you.
real tourists would have stayed and contributed to my winter golf fund in florida.
re: Jones’s base hit. I don’t think anything ever felt better for me when I was playing than a line single up the middle.
Nice that Colon is looking better (I would still give him a bit of a break though) – regardless of the offense, it’s all about the pitching.
‘a bunch of stinking cowards i tell you.”
Well you are in NE.
No offense Maine
they should let Hirschbeck call balls and strikes for every Yankees-Sox game, they would not take 4 hours to play with his strike zone.
I know he had plenty of time, but did you see how Adams handled that DP transfer throw?
Now think of Robbie. Man I love how he turns two.
Seems like the Yanks did a little hurricane partying yesterday. Them all being hungover would explain this extremely flat preformance thus far today. Colon is the only one benefitting as he strictly pounds beers and is benefitting from the immense carb-load.
boom or bust offense on vacation today.
they need these 3 games.. bury tampa and the angels now.
Will someone tell our $200 million lineup that it’s actually not against the rules to get a hit before the 6th inning? Crikey! Way too often this year….
this guy is barely at a 60-40 strike ball count, and we have done nothing. hopefully that will turn around soon.
bah ha ha.
Smoltzie is such a NL homer.
“The NL is down a bit this year, but I think whoever comes out of it has a good chance to beat the AL.”
Britton’s getting a little tired out there, maybe Arod can do something with a mistake here…
Arod looks really rusty
Colon is player of the game so far.
one run could easily win this game. let’s scratch something across here.
Britton has to be done. Tip your hat, he did a great job.
Meanwhile Colon is cruising at 68 pitches.
Should be –advantage Yankees
Wow 110 pitches and he comes out to start the 7th.
Britton’s done a great job out there, he’s throwing the way he did earlier in the year when he was a Rookie of the Year candidate.
Colon is doing his job. Now we’re into the O’s pen. Let’s get it done.
really no reason to push a young pitcher like this when your team is going nowhere this season. Buck’s pride getting in the way, really wants to beat the Yanks even though the game is meaningless for the Orioles.
Oops, we’re not into the O’s pen, yet!
In his last ten games Britton was 2-6 with a 7.11 ERA.
4 and 3 in last seven against minny, oakland, and baltimore…
offense on a preridoic vacation…..
Colon has pitched so well. Hope this doesn’t come down to a Yankee mistake.
Yankees should undoubtedly have at least a run or two, but you have to be impressed with Britton. guy has a lot of potential. if harnessed, reminds me of Lester a little bit. lefty, good cutter, not afraid to throw inside. he should be one to watch going forward.
This is officially another pathetic non-appearance by our boom or bust offense.
The Yankees are perfect today with RISP. 0 – 0
Britton threw the ball well but the offense was bad in the last game against the Twins and 2 games against the A’s. So they need to get out of their mini slump and pick it up.
They need to be beating these teams………..but the biggest news is Colon’s performance, granted it’s against the O’s.
Markakis knew they were coming inside and he was waiting for it. You can’t blame Colon though the offense has been awful.
it’s always the Yankees fault on LoHud, some things never change…
No, Colon has done his level best……..just not a good game from the offense.
It was funny I just was thinking they should walk Vlad with 1st base open. He always gets big hits against the Yanks with risp.
If Vlad can hit the other way, shouldn’t Teix be able to do it?
WITH HOW GOOD THE RAYS are playing the yankees need to worry about just making it to the post season.no runs vs balt? that is sad sad sad
“It was funny I just was thinking they should walk Vlad with 1st base open”
It looked like he hit a pitch out. the ball was a foot outside.
Can we wait until the Rays are within a few games of the Yankees before freaking out?
Its always tough to teach Buck and O’s a lesson when you can’t score runs.
Maybe O’s will sweep Yanks-how that for a Buck lesson.
Betsy, the local Tampa media gave up on the Rays about 3 weeks ago, if they make any kind of run it will shock everyone in the area.
I wonder if the bats are slumping or against bad teams like the A’s and O’s the Yanks don’t have the same energy like they do against the good play off type teams. We have seen that from them the last couple of years.
Why not bat Gardner here for the lefty righty match-up? Going for the HR?
Betsy after today they will be within 6 maybe 5 1/2 not close enough? it was 9 a few days ago.
Nice job by Britton, but poor plate approach by the Yankees. With a high pitch count going into the 7th, they were up there swinging early in the count. It appears as if these guys lived it up in the hotel last night. If the keep screwing around with bad teams, they are going tom wake upmin a fight with tampa for the wildcard.
Chambliss ummmm after today they will be in a fight with them and the LAA’s how things change when you suck.
MG, I give the Rays a ton of credit – and it’s possible they make serious dent in the Yankees’ lead. However, until the lead is whittled to, say, 4 games or so, why even worry about them? The Yankees have their own concerns – and if they are good enough, they’ll make the playoffs. If they aren’t, they won’t…….freaking out about it won’t help anything.
Ralph, if you want to get yourself into a lather, that’s ok by me – I don’t care.
Great hitting today. A 2 1/2 game deficit is not good.
The bats are inconsisent – period. They go in and out of hot streaks and funks like people turn lights on and off. Nothing the offense does surprises me, good or bad.
Inconsistent
Ralph need a bar of soap?
They have 3 outs left– and at this point are only losing by one. The game is not over.
on the verge of losing 4 out of 5 to the A’s and Orioles. and they haven’t gotten a runner to 2nd base today.
they’re much better than this. gotta wake up.
Betsy, I’m not worried about the Rays, the Angels, the Rangers or the Sox.
The Yankee will be in the post-season and whoever is hot then usually wins it all.
the yankees believe they are in the playoffs already. That is why they are pitching aj against the red sox.
shocking martin with a grounder to the left side. that never happens.
no one doing anything offensivel.
lucky we have clutch tex up next inning. what is the chance he pops out on the infield? 50%…
no one doing anything. the nunez fly out to deep center and the jeter almost hit that would have given them 1st and 2nd with no outs is it. zero chances generated…….
That is Granderson’s ball Cano has to get out of the way
Don’t look now folks, but the Yanks are starting to slide back a bit in the AL East. Don’t want to hear about the Wild Card crap. Inconsistency will not win you WS championships.
MG, I’m not worried about the Rays because they are too far away right now. I’m not worried about the Sox because if we make the playoffs, we may not even face them. There’s no reason to worry about any other team in the playoffs because good teams are supposed to beat other good teams. If the Yankees aren’t good enough, then so be it; if they are, they are. I don’t see them going deep into the playoffs because I don’t have much faith in the pitching and the offense has generally been ice cold in the playoffs, but I’m not spending any time fretting about it.
they need gardners energy but lately offensively he has been putrid. really really bad…
the ups and downs and fristration of baseball we are watching it.. it is not pretty….
Another great showing. A’s n O’s. Sad
The bats better wake up with Lester and Beckett pitching this week and they will have to give away the game that AJ pitches.
fantasygame101 August 28th, 2011 at 3:40 pm

*********
This is yet another example of why Girardi at times looks like the most incompetent manager in baseball and why some believe he doesn’t try hard enough to win the division. There is no logical explanation for throwing Burnett against the Sux at Fenway. None. It’s an indefensible position.
Andruw jones is truly awful.
if the yanks think they are winning the WS woth aj burnett on the roster they are dreaming. the thought that aj burnett is pitching on weds is staggering. zach britton who was sent down twice this year and the yanks destroyed in less then 1 inning a while ago has a over 1 run a game better era then the guy with the great stuff……………
AJ has great stuff though. lol
To not be worried about rays n angels is utterly naive. The SP has been brutal.
One game behind in Loss column (if they lose) is sliding back?
I am surprised that Colon is pitching the 8th inning. Girardi keep talking about Colon’s innings so why not let someone else pitch this inning?
getting schooled by a AAA team. sad. the burnett giveaway game and now the offense on siesta.
horrible…
Can’t wait to see AJ give up 10 at Fenway
Clutch, I think his pitch count is pretty low
let us keep the playoff race interesting. Yes ratings will not suffer.
Colon is tired and once again Girardi leaves the starting pitcher out there too long. This happens at least 3 times a week so I shouldn’t be surprised.
if burnett doesw pitch on weds. i hope he gets lit up.
if I never see him pitch again after that game it would be great news.
and the yanks say they have no option what a joke……
And you are utterly something, but I’m sure even you can figure that out. I hope you do get upset and worried about the Yankees……….that would make me happy.
However, I don’t understand why Joe is hanging Bart out to dry here.
Looking like a great choice letting colon stay in
I’m dying to hear another Betsy defense of Burnett.
It’s going to take something more powerful than objectivity in my pipe to withstand watching AJ pitch against Boston.

***********
Ace please don’t die we like you!
It won’t be pretty watching Hughes or AJ in Boston, but better that than bringing up a rookie in that situation
The Rays are hot and are playing well.
This will be a critical 5 days of baseball for the team. They could let the Rays get very close while losing touch with the Red Sox.
They Yankees lack of ability to comeback in the 8th or 9th is very worrisome.

Nice!!
Colon at 95. I love watching him. Nice K!
Colon looks strong but they’re going to need those bullets!
Hmmm. I thought we were all talking about Burnett? How did Hughes get in there?
Girardi being Girardi.
Can’t get mad at colon. Yankee offense did not show up today.
if they lose this game 1 and 4 in last 5 against the a’s and orioles.
grea teffort. terrible pitching in a bunch of the starts and today absolutely no offense at all.
way to turn it on in late august.
Do they give a managerial award for most times taking out the pitcher after he has failed?
It seems pretty clear to me that the Yanks want no part of Verlander in the ALDS.
Oh well, good game by Bartolo. Maybe the offense can pick him up.
We were talking about whatever we were talking about, airhead………stop your obsession with AJ why don’t you?
West Coast Yankee Fan August 28th, 2011 at 3:53 pm
Girardi being Girardi.
Need a tissue? he got 2 big outs almost got out of it.Once he got 2 outs he had to leave him in.
hey guys did you know AJ Burnett has great stuff…………………..
isn’t that good news???? I just smoked the objective pipe and I think we should give aj an extension, he deserves it after all he has great stuff and cool haircuts…………
AJ is only pitching in Boston so everyone understands that his place is not in the starting rotation.
Also, isn’t that Sept 1?
That was an awful pitch but that’s what you get when you leave a guy out to dry like Girardi always does. I don’t know why Girardi always tries to stretch the starting pitcher through an extra inning. He does it all the time and never learns from it when it burns him almost everytime.

Almost? Uh, ok.
WCYF
Starting trouble again I see. Troll
I’m not going to blame Girardi for a game that’s all on the offense……. Colon did not have a high pitch count coming into the inning.
granderson and tex get on base and arod hr.
Tar, at this point even calling him a troll is unfair………….to trolls.
Not like that run is going to matter today anyway the way the bats have been.1 run or 5 runs makes no difference this game.
Colon into the 8th, 2 earned runs, what more can you ask of a guy? Now it’s up to the hitters, who haven’t shown up today.
they naks do not hit homers there offense is often dormant…
gardner has been horrible for about 2 weeks. grandy in another slump.. tex has been bad pretty much all year.
i am wondering how they can keep tex hitting 3rd batting under 250? the rationale is he drive in runs.. how many more would he drive in if he hit 275 ??I bet you a ton more. why not go with jeter, grandy, cano, arod, tex, swisher, etc… hit tex 5th… your 3 hitter has to hit for some avg……
good news tex gets up lefty in the 9th. he will either hit a homer or pop up on an offspeed pitch.\\
Lets go boys, two runs isn’t that hard. Gregg stinks he’s got a 7.88 ERA in his last ten games.
Betsy
You are right.
Redfish the blog parasite.
Bart deserved to win today…..but offense always seems to struggle after an off day.
The same dumb ass complaining about leaving Colon in to get the same guy he’s been getting out would be the same one complaining if Girardi lifted Colon and the reliever gave up the hit. Typical second guesser. go figure.
Colon pitched very well, Girardi just shouldn’t have left him in for the 8th. You have a fully rested bullpen in a one run game.
Looks like Tar is disrupting the blog again. No surprise.
God I freakin hate Kevin Gregg and his 2 first names… Him blowing the lead would make watching this sorry preformance by the Yankees so far completely worth it
Is it al on the offense or the fact that Britton pitched the game of his young career? He’s not highly rated for nothing.
Like always the manager is going to get second guessed no matter what
As good a year as he is having, Granderson just strikes out way too much.
the K machine strikes again
Tar, pity his family and the friend he has out in the real world – they are the ones who have to deal with his psychosis. My guess is that his therapist fired him as a patient because he wasn’t worth the hassel.
Rays winning big in Toronto. WC is not a given.
Tex breaking out of it a bit – 3 hits.
Yeah, he strikes out WAY too much………If he didn’t, he’d have 70 HRs and 160 RBIs.
Well A-Rod. This would be a good time to earn your money.
Yea where would without granderson…. everyone is so “what have youu done for me lately…
A-bomb time.
Well there you have it.
Or not.
Strikes out too much, lol……..
I said Granderson strikes out too much. Want t0 take issue with that? Third in the AL in K’s?
Yes he strikes out too much.
Way to be clutch Arod. Game over and the team is officially playing some bad ball. Nice play going into the Sox series in a few games.
Oh well, get the split and win tomorrow night and it won’t seem so awful.
I need a beer after watching that display.
WTF
Anyone notice how great we were doing without A rod… coincidence????
An out is an out, strike out or not.
Colon staying in didn’t matter. Good effort on his part, can’t say the same of our hitting.
‘Looks like Tar is disrupting the blog again”
Nah… Just you and your parasitic ways.
let us see how nova handle pressure.
Yankees need to score early tonight. They cannot leave it to any 8th or 9th inning hitting to get them a victory. That is not in their DNA this season.
Colon’s performance was exactly what the team needed after AJ’s results on Fri. It was excellent!
Nova is capable of the same.
Go Yankees!!
