Lackey vs. Yankees
TIME/TV: 7:05 p.m., YES Network
WEATHER: It’s actually perfect here in Boston. Seems like the Yankees always run into some sort of weather here, but it’s supposed to be nice all week.
UMPIRES: HP Ed Rapuano, 1B Brian O’Nora, 2B Alfonso Marquez, 3B Mark Wegner
TEX MARKS THE SPOT: Mark Teixeira’s eight straight seasons of at least 30 home runs and 100 RBI is the longest such streak ever for a switch hitter. Only two other Yankees first baseman have recorded at least three seasons of 30 and 100, Don Mattingly (three times) and Lou Gehrig (10 times).
SECOND HOME: Robinson Cano is a career .352 (86-for-244) hitter at Fenway Park. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, that’s the highest career batting average among Yankees all-time at Fenway Park (minimium 200 at-bats).
IN THE BEGINNING: The Yankees are 21-22 in series openers this season. They have rebounded to go 29-14 in the second game of series.
UPDATE, 7:19 p.m.: The Yankees thought Granderson was hit by a pitch, and they didn’t get the call. Now Sabathia hits Ellsbury to open the bottom of the first.
UPDATE, 7:37 p.m.: The Yankees have the lead after an RBI single up the middle by Chavez in the second inning. The Yankees still have runners at the corners with one out.
UPDATE, 7:57 p.m.: Sabathia just stranded the bases loaded in the second inning, but he’s already thrown 50 pitches and the Yankees have a short bullpen. Something to keep an eye on.
UPDATE, 8:28 p.m.: Dontcha know? RBI double by Cano scores Granderson from first and pushes the Yankees lead to 2-0 in the fourth.
UPDATE, 8:42 p.m.: Chavez’s second RBI single of the night boosted the lead to 3-0, but the Red Sox have answered with Carl Crawford’s solo homer in the fourth. Sabathia’s still not looking his best, but I’m not ready to rule out six or seven innings from him.
UPDATE, 8:51 p.m.: Now six or seven innings is looking like a long shot. Sabathia’s allowed back-to-back singles to the bottom of the order, and a two-out, RBI double to Marco Scutaro.
UPDATE, 8:53 p.m.: Sabathia made Gonzalez look bad on an inning-ending strikeout. That’s the third time CC has struck out Gonzalez — Pedroia, Ellsbury and Ortiz also have at least one strikeout apiece — but the bottom three hitters in the Red Sox order are 3-for-4 with two walks and a home run.
UPDATE, 8:57 p.m.: Francisco Cervelli just cleared the monster. Seriously. It just happened. It’s a 4-2 Yankees lead.
UPDATE, 9:19 p.m.: Terrific diving catch by Cano might be the turning point of this game. Sabathia got out of the fifth inning with a strikeout, and it looks like the bullpen might take it from here. Cory Wade has been getting loose.
UPDATE, 9:29 p.m.: Sabathia is back out to start the sixth, but he’s already started the inning by running the count full against No. 9 hitter Darnell McDonald.
UPDATE, 9:44 p.m.: Of all people, Larry Rothschild was ejected at the end of the benches clearing incident. Larry’s one of the most soft-spoken people I’ve met, but he was irate.
UPDATE, 9:53 p.m.: Here’s Cory Wade to pitch the seventh. Dave Robertson has pitched the past two nights.
UPDATE, 10:11 p.m.: Big out and a big reaction from Boone Logan, striking out Darnell McDonald to strand the bases loaded, then walking off with a massive fist pump. Francisco Cervelli, meanwhile, was so pumped his head actually exploded.
UPDATE, 10:45 p.m.: Brett Gardner really knows how to go get it in left field. Big catch for the first out of the eighth.
I fully expect Sabathia to come out and do what he is supposed to do tonight. The past is the past – kick some Sux butt!
Lets go yankees. CC, give me at least 8inn 0BB and 12K’s, thanks.! Ohh, and a no hitter for the first 7 inn. I think that’s all, thanks. Have a great game
it isn’t like the Sox have dominated CC each time he’s faced them in 2011.
His first start, in April, was 5 2/3 with 1 run.
His next start he allowed 2 runs through 6 and they got him in the 7th
His next start he shut them out for 6 and they got him again in the 7th.
He was bad in his last start, that happens occasionally.
It isn’t exactly like they hit everything he throws, I would think he needs to make an adjustment when it’s the 3rd time through the order and I’m sure he’s thinking the same thing.
if there were ever a game for a no hitter..
Set it right, C.

Freddy is the perfect swing man, skip him or not, he’s valuable and in the mix.
I just HATE the Sawx!!!
C! C! (clap, clap)
Let’s go Yankees!!!!!!!! Destroy this ugly lackey!
Go Yankees!!< Go CC!!
Anyone else having trouble with MLB gameday audio?
what a surprise a Sox pitcher has good stuff against the Yankees
Sock the Sux ! ! !
Lackey in top form … again.
That hit his hand!!!!
WOW!!, incredible
what a bunch of crap
I was hoping grandy would hit one out after being hit…:)
already the ump is having an impact
how many runs does the non-ace ace give up today
I am going with his usual Boston 6
Let’s go CC!!!!! Man up and destroy these pretenders!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Relax. Lackey stinks.
how many runs does the non-ace ace give up today
I am going with his usual Boston 6
—-
sounds about right.
Lackey’s ERA is about 6.
Lackey made some good pitches that inning, he looked a lot more like the guy who used to be the Angels ace than the guy who was lit up on a regular basis earlier this year and last year.
That doesn’t mean the Yankees won’t get him, they used to score off him at his best, they just need to make good swings and make him work.
CC’s got this tonight…..
To the few Yankee fans on this board, enjoy the game.
I hope that hit by pitch doesn’t put granderson into a big slump. But it probably will. I hate how the sox always hurt the yanks even when they don’t do it on purpose.
Nice CC
statement pitch…
i kind of wonder if that was intentional. it probably wasn’t but its interesting.
YES!!!!!!!, maybe not smart but hell yeah!!
How long before the warning?
good….
make the statement early!
I was about to say CC should plunk Gonzalez, Ellsbury works but it puts the leadoff hitter on and he’s a top basestealer with Cervelli throwing out 10% or something pitiful.
Not good putting Ellsbury on.
CC wasn’t trying to hit him, he was backing him off the plate but didn’t care if the pitch hit him either…
do the Sox ever swing and make out on the first pitch against us?
It’s smart, luis. Long overdue.
Great that was basically a double. Especially with cervelli behind the plate. Can’t cc ever have a 1,2,3 inning against these guys
of course it wasn’t intentional, but i dont think he cares that he hit him either…
Comet, are you getting an orange banner across the top that you’ve logged in too many times in too short of a period?
christ almighty Derek
Good trade, Ellsbury for Scutaro.
he will probably around to score. bad move by CC.
Doesn’t look like it hurted.
should have make it count. .. drill him between the eyes.
i swear we are cursed with the RedSox…our normally good play just turns into craziness!!
Nice going jeter. You can’t give these guys extra outs.
Jeter killing this team by being selfish as usual forcing himself to play when he is not healthy, Disgusting. Just Disgusting.
Granderson was hit on the hand? Ugh…
Why does the Yankee defense turn into the NY Giants special teams when they play this team. Its maddening
JAP,
I wouldn’t put the lead off man on base, but as you say it’s been long overdue, time to push back
Oh boy, I can see this game thread is going to be fun
Intentional???? Why hit a base stealing leadoff hitter???leading off an inning??? Why

According to customer service, they are having server issues. They said to keep trying back throughout the game, but gave me an incident number to use in case it didn’t resolve tonight. Woof.
Here comes Babe Ruth
how’s that mvp gonzalez look against the yankees this year so far?

————
that’s a tough play, Jeter wants the ball coming across the base but Teix couldn’t do it because of Ellsbury.
Jeter had to reach back and throw flatfooted, he rarely makes a throw that badly.
CC has good stuff tonight…
Way to go Sabathia!!!!!!!!!! Sit down loser.
no
I could care less if CC hits each and every one of them tonight. In fact it would make my day
The stupidity of some of you people is amazing. hard to believe that you’re even smart enough to know when to breathe.
luis, C is going to throw a good game. He has to establish himself inside. You just saw AGon go down. That should pre-empt the usual bush BS from Boston. I guess the Yanks turned a deaf ear to Howard’s pleas to get hit but take the high road
.
I’ve taken poops bigger than Pedroia…
I am curious to see how small cc’s strikezone will be tonight. The last couple of times that he faced them the umpd squeezed him on the outside corner.
am i missing something?
What about Pedroia’s numbers makes him an MVP candidate?
ac1,
He hasn’t looked too good. Shall we look at Tex’s numbers against them?
when the yankees have an advantage in the pitching matchup such as tonight, the umpires will close the gap.
gonzalez’ peripheral stats should rule him out of the MVP discussion. His batting average is the only thing that has him in the MVP discussion. Ellsbury and Pedroia have better claims than Gonzalez.
where was that????
Just turned on the TV and was suprised to find the Yankees playing the Sox. I honestly had no idea that series started tonight.
I can’t remember a less eventful or interesting final month of the season.
And in the words of Clyde Frazier the Yankees Infield plays matador D against the Sox this season.
where was that 1-2 pitch??? right down the middle
Eat it, Ped.
WOW!!! Already getting F’d by the home plate ump….
Twice in one inning, and he STILL struck him out.
Have a seat Elf!
YES!!!! CC manning up!!!
CC has good stuff tomight. The offense has to get going and smack around lackey.

Relax. Lackey stinks.
==================
he needs ex-lax
Everything about Gonzalez screams weasel: the eyes, the face, the facial hair.
WEASEL.
I hate him more than Youkilus.
JAP,
F*&*&^(( the high road!!, it was about time to put this scum in it’s rightfull place, if it was preemptive fine, somebody had to step up to protect the team
Tex put a decent swing on that.
The stupidity of some of you people is amazing. hard to believe that you’re even smart enough to know when to breathe.

Idiot Wind-Dylan.
Lackey: Here’s a steady diet of off-speed pitches. Hit it.
I can’t believe that NESN is split screening the game with an interview of a teenager in the broadcast booth

It continues to amaze. Not sure which is worse….reading the stupidity from these “fans” or having to listen to the Boston feed. Both make me want to puke.
MG, the kid has cancer. The Jimmy Fund charity marathon is today.
luis, C has to claim the inside part of the plate with all their lefty hitters. If someone gets hit, thems the breaks.
GB I am. Called MLB and I guess it is a system wide problem. Thanks!
“I hate him more than Youkilus.”
———–
no reason to hate AGone. he’s a soft spoken guy – plays the right way.
just root against him. but no point in hating him, IMO
Tex is hitting 136 with 205 slugging and 455 ops with 1 homer and 4 RBI’s
Agon is hitting 1921 with 383 slugging and 711 ops with 2 homers and 11 RBI’s

192
No problem, Comet. hopefully, they’ll have it fixed by next opening day.
Maybe we can all go hunting with Youkilis on Josh Beckett’s dime. Then we can truly appreciate what fine human beings all the Red Sox players are. But is it ok if we kick their ass, first?

Woops. I guess I don’t recall correctly. Thanks Triple.
Swish is just on fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t hate Gonzalez, I just think he is a hypocrite. Told people he was going to boycott the All star game in Arizona and then not only does he play in it but nobody even asked him about what he said
wtg yanks
Y E S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chavez!!!!!!!!!!!
What a great ab by swisher..
whooohoooo yay Chavez
Pedey out gritted himself, I guess.
Sweet Range PEDroia… Best 2B in baseball right there!
YES!!!!!, Chavez!!!, not pretty but it works just fine!!
vintage LAckey getting pissed at his fielders
YES!
if i get pissed watching Lackey show up his fielders i can only imagine how pissed they get. this guy is a joke.
That Pedroia has some great range.
Come on Jorge!!!!!

Damn it Jorgie…didn’t see that DP coming…
MG, I understand your POV. I respectfully disagree. NESN does it every year.
CCs fastball looks very good so far
he made 1 mistake on 0-2 to Pedroia but he’s keeping it low and away
good sign
Big Juicy….David OrCheats..

Stupid comment. He was on a tear and then sat for a pair of games. You can’t stay sharp that way. He was on a stretch of 46 games with an OPS of .950. They don’t want him to hit against LHP, so he sits. Even though his career numbers are superb against LHP. He’s not being set up to succeed.
Chavez attempted to GIDP it. Posada accomplished the mission.
CC just blew 96 there
Chavez had to do a better job taking the infielder out. A Sox player would of went flying into Cano or Jeter like Ellsbury did to Jeter. Damn is Posada slow. My grandma would of beat that out.
Too bad they don’t have the guts to give Montero a chance to rake at Fenway..

kcd, if they do it every year then I understand-I see about 2 NESN games a year. I would still think a full interview without the distraction of the game is a better way-they had her and another teenager introduce the lineups, that was a nice touch.
NASTY paint by CC
where was that pitch ??
No help from the umps of course
Jed Lowerie…Superstar…
WTF is going on?
“Too bad they don’t have the guts to give Montero a chance to rake at Fenway..”
————
as if he’ll never get a chance….
might as well wait til Thursday when rosters expand at this point.
Why do the umps always squeeze CC when he pitches against the Sox? It never fails.
So his worst pitch of the 4 is called a strike
Oh Posada you just suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!
———————–
Is this one of those astute baseball observations you pride yourself in?
“Jed Lowerie…Superstar…”
———–
Jed Lowrie is old news (though a nice guy)
Josh Reddick is the new superstar (fading fast….)
I disagree with this take pitches garbage that he is saying. One of the reasons why they take so many pitchers against the Yankees is because half of them never get called as strikes
Triple,
After the call to Grandy i wouldn’t expect anything different
ump has a high strike zone, CC will adjust…
crawford has a 285OBP?? OUCH!
What ever happened to Lars Anderson….Superstar?
CC always has to throw a million pitches because half of them don’t get called strikes
thanks frank
Great job Cervelli
Why would you walk a player that has a 285 OBP????
Must be nice to have a completely different strike zone
This ump is a joke. It’s almost like the Sox pay these HP umps.
Can you say squeezed tonight for CC?
Posada has killed this team all year. Sad Montero didn’t get a shot
Posada stood and watched that last ground ball he hit. If he was hustling he could have beat it.
Don’t blame the zone. It’s way too early for that crap
Assuming we make the playoffs, will Frank be CC’s personal catcher?
what was Pedroia’s UZR on that play last inning?
CC has a good change tonight and his good stuff….needs to throw that change
I’m going to try and pay attention and see how many times the Red Sox make an out on the first or second pitch of an at bat. It seems like it never happens
blake August 30th, 2011 at 7:54 pm
what was Pedroia’s UZR on that play last inning?
CC has a good change tonight and his good stuff….needs to throw that change
——————–
CC has really good stuff tonight, almost as good as the night he had the perfect game going until the rain.
CC is throwing a ton of pitches
Come on CC this is darnell Mcdonald for petes sake
wow more crappy non-strike calls….
strike 3….ring him up
46 pitches already for CC..
this ump is really missing the calls on low strikes, CC should have been out of this inning 5 minutes ago.
Girardi has to come out and yell at this ump. It’s impossible to pitch with this strike zone…
“CC has really good stuff tonight, almost as good as the night he had the perfect game going until the rain.”
yup….location isn’t quite as sharp though and he’s facing a bit better offense
Almost 50 pitches, the last two balls were strikes according to gamecast
A strike zone the size of a thimble..
NESN’s strike zone thing had the 2-2 pitch as a strike…..as much as I dislike Boston …..NESN’s broadcast really isn’t bad.
Lol, if cc really has good stuff, his pitch count wouldn’t be this big
WTF?????????????????????????????????
how the hell do you walk Darnell MacDonald?
You have to be kidding me. How much do the Sox pay these umps?
wow, this strike zone is just ridiculous…
Stop with the he has great stuff thing. He’s thrown 50 pitches in 2 innings. That’s not great stuff
Look at these pitches he’s getting squeezed on.
CC fail.. 0-2 and you lose McDonald.. Come on.. 9 hitter!!
wow….all over the freaking strike zone.
amazing. Even these moron Yankee announcers can’t say it was a strike. What a complete joke
Cc is owned by sux.
He got nothing.
hey JobaTipsHisCap is here getting ready to talk about how the Yankees can’t beat the Red Sox. i am shocked.
Stuff….not location…..stuff….and he’s getting squeezed.
That wasn’t a strike but it gets called because is not the third strike
WTF kind of strike zone is that? Pitches #5 and #8 were strikes ALL DAY ! DAMMIT !
Man CC stinks big time against the sawx.
CC fail.. 0-2 and you lose McDonald.. Come on.. 9 hitter!!
__
Are you watching the game? The last 3 balls were actually strikes.
of course Girardi sits in the dugout and doesn’t say a word
50 pitches in 2 innings? WTF??? WOW!
and why doesn’t Chad post about how Tex doesn’t mark the spot against boston with his 1 hit against them this season.. pathetic !! The guy is a dud when it counts..
WTF is going on with CC and the SOX what he can’t beat them anymore?????????????????????
Hate me if you want, and yes, I do consider myself a die-hard YANKEE fan but Boston is a better team than we are this year.
Now since I said that, I will await the immature prattling from the usual crowd here.
Way to buckle down. Go CC.
When CC is out of this game by the 5th inning, lets remember not to blame CC, but rather blame Ed Rapuano
wow, CC getting squeezed with 2 strikes…
It’s just matter of time sux scores a bunch, this becomes a pattern.
JobaTipsHisCap = Bet Wetter and king of the idiots!
Bet = Bed ( NOW who’s the idiot? )
I wish Girardi would have his pitchers backs in these situations. Francona and Scoiscia would be out there screaming. Even if CC pitches well he isn’t going deep into the game after that bs from the ump.
All i’m expecting for the yanks to get the same strikezone
why does cervelli raise the glove when the pitch is at the knees.
just bc he catches it low doesn’t make it a ball.
when will martin start catching cc?
CC will be lucky to last 6.
These momzas are tough outs.
Its all in their approach…
CC is 95-97 with the fastball….and he’s got a good slider and CU tonight….he is either just missing with his locations or he’s hitting his spot and getting squeezed. Hopefully he’ll dial in the command….if he does then he’ll be fine. They need to light Lackey up….I’m sick of him….he stinks.
kcd – that’s real bush league to blame the ump. Pros don’t blame the ump. You shouldn’t either.
Please win a fxxxxking series, then I will shut up.
Cervelli doesn’t help much either….I wish they’d let Martin occasionally catch CC.
Martin should be catching. Cervelli is a moron. stop nibbling with Darnell MacDonald and just put the ball by him. he sucks.
How about you guys complain about CC if and when ya know he actually gives up a run.
Or is that too much to ask?
Boston is just like the Yanks….they grind AB’s and take what the umpires give them. If the ump isn’t calling borderline pitches then they’ll stand there all night.
it is bush league to ignore reality
mick,
What approach is that? Standing there while strikes get called balls?
Cmon yanks we need to give a breather to CC!!, ten pitch at bats please
why does cervelli raise the glove when the pitch is at the knees.
just bc he catches it low doesn’t make it a ball.
when will martin start catching cc?
___
I think cervelli is catching here because cc is more comfy with him and he needs to get out of this boston funk….
martin will catch him more and in the playoffs…
*If or when
Heidi Watney > Kim Jones.
I too am tired of seeing Cervlli catch CC. Last I checked CC had a better ERA with Martin. And this personal catcher BS is not good for the team.
2 innings. 50 pitches. Suck.
Let’s all slit our wrists. We’re ahead 1-0 in the third. We’re doomed!
Gardner has to stop showing bunt and actually swing the bat!!!
JobaTipsHisCap August 30th, 2011 at 8:03 pm

I doubt it. Once a troll always a troll.
tomingeorgia,
So we can’t comment on the game?
“Let’s all slit our wrists. We’re ahead 1-0 in the third. We’re doomed!”
we’re ahead? really?
jobatipshiscap. man dude you are one bitter dude ever since your boy chamberlain went down. you just beatdown on every pitcher for the yanks. stop being a old chump man and get with the program.
Gardner’s having a good AB here. Lackey is his man.
Damn!
Gardner needs to get out of his slump..
good thing he hopped before he caught that…
C’mon, DJ.
Triple,
No offense intended. Gripe all you want.
Lol, salliedogs , or just silly dogs, or whatever, do u know the definition of troll?
Gardner last ten games. 4-41 hitting .102
Yanks don’t seem to be all that patient tonight.
I miss the days of hitting the monster

Heidi Watney > Kim Jones.
————————————————————————————————————————
Heidi Watney’s great great grandmother would be better than Jones
CC and I have have a karmic connection, he heard me say man up and he is! Looking good tonight big man!!!
well another game against this team where the offense is silent.
The offense really needs to wake up. It has been dead this last week and this year they go to sleep against the Sox.
Blake,
I agree with your 8:05 evaluation.

Yes. You. Your not a Yankee fan. Your lonely and want to hang out with Yankee fans.
“Heidi Watney’s great great grandmother would be better than Jones”
gb7-
of course, you know that from personal experience i’m assuming.
Watney used to sleep with Jason Varitek and Nick Green, when a Red Sox
I still hate Cervelli
GB,
you just sat that one on a tee for Randy
Gonna take 5 runs minimum to win this game. The Posada double play, though absurdly predictable, was huge and a symbol of this entire season series against them.
luis August 30th, 2011 at 8:01 pm
All i’m expecting for the yanks to get the same strikezone
—————————————————
that doesnt matter, we swing at everything the sox throw at us.. just look at how many walks we have agaibst them this year. like 5 total.
we’re over-matched period !
some of you sound like pre-2004 Red Sox fans with all this poor me bull.
good play swish…..
YER OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great throw Swish!
Gardy had a good AB, maybe he can get untracked tonight. Derek should have creamed that fastball.
Atta boy, Swish.
Nice! Swisher’s D is underated….he’s really improved.
wow a posada move by scutaro! nice.
Great throw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice play, Swish!
Heads up play from swish there, boneheaded one from scutaro, thank you

————————————
I agree that he has shown some improvement this year.. but saying he’s underrated is a stretch.
K-Gon!
Let’s all slit our wrists. We’re ahead 1-0 in the third. We’re doomed!
=======================
tominga (as trish calls you)play nice….don’t be a drama queen
Swish has improved and tracks the ball well into the gap.
///
Bye AGON.
Was a very nice play by Swisher.. and a great throw.
Can we trade Kim Jones for Heidi Watney?
yankeefeminista August 30th, 2011 at 8:16 pm
K-Gon!
///
Bye-gone??
Underrated or not, I think Swish played himself back into getting his option picked up after it looked like he would be gone after this year (april and may).
Is CC ever going to have an easy inning against these guys?
P,
the perception of Swisher is that he’s a poor defender…..and he’s really not anymore.
Yankeefem, Lackey should be Gardy’s kind of pitcher.
Cervelli is such a putz.
cc is getting no calls on the bottom of the zone, none…
Great strike zone tonight.
Picking up Swisher’s option is the easiest no-brainer in history.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen CC squeezed so badly. This is getting ridiculous.
“you just sat that one on a tee for Randy”
blake-
when you get one right down the middle you have to jump on it
It’s weird that CC has so much trouble with Crawford seeing as how Crawford is awful against LHP and CC is one of the best….Crawford is hitting like .315 or something against CC
Good bye gap tooth.
Can we trade Kim Jones for Heidi Watney?
————————————————-
If you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with…
adios papi!!!
he’s dominated Gonzalez and Ortiz thus far.
NIce.
Sit down papi another.
CC has 6K and no runs in 3 innings and half of the comments about him are knocks, unbelievable…
Here comes a big inning off Lackgay right here… At least a 3 spot on the board.
Yogi,
As long as the same zone is applied to both teams i don’t mind….the problem is that lackey is getting calls that CC is not
Remi is good too….trade Kay, Jones, and, AJ for Remi and Watney.
what was scutero thinking?…he’s no Scooter.
least Farnsworth and Clemens showed some balls.. we need a take no stuff pitcher that doesn’t have a problem throwing at somebody to move their feet a bit.. Boston just looks so comfortable facing us.
Grandy, Tex, Cano. Time to get some runs. Tex’s swing looked better in his last AB.
Costas and Kaat are calling the game Thursday….I would be looking forward to it…..but.
we are getting squeezed like oj…who is this blind ump?
leading the league in HRs and you’re squaring to bunt. stop that.
P August 30th, 2011 at 8:22 pm

are you watching the same game we are? CC nailed Ellsbury leading off the game and brushed back Gonzalez, what more do you want him to do?
Good job Curtis
Just have to hope no DP

The perception of Swisher is that he is a poor defender and he is not anymore.
————————————————–
He has had a better season defensively for sure, but he is nothing more than average. Even if he had a BG type of defensive year, that doesn’t make all years previous non existent and he has been a below average defense more often than above average.
I will give him an A++ for his effort tho.

————————————————-
If you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with…
HAHA, I can’t stand Kim Jones.. and it’s obvious Jeter can’t either. Maybe we should throw Montero or Hughes in the deal to get it done !!! LOL
that was a ball
Jeers and Randy
You’re both killing me.
that lackey pitch was lower and more outside than at least 5 pitches cc threw and were called balls.
If the Yankees take Heidi Watney, does that mean we’re stuck with boyfriend Jason Varitek?
dont get tex struggling so bad with sox this year. last year he his 3 homers in 1 game…
Trivia Q:
Which pitcher is the active leader in losses against the red sx?
———
CC ?
78: Rice, Guidry, 86: Clemens, Mattingly, not sure about the third pair…
Tex better figure out how to hit off speed pitches because that is all they are throwing him
Hang in there, Texy.
He hit 237 against the Sox last year.
another stellar at bat by Mark. I’m done calling him by his nickname
Come on Cano drive one.
Now.. I can deal with everything the NYY do that frustrate me.. the mismanaging by Girardi. the over agressive at the plate (helpin the pitcher), the dumb decisions to bunt, the low averages, etc..
2 things I cannot stand about this team..
1) Swinging at the first pitch
2) Mark Teixeira and how un-clutch he is.”
I screamed YESSSSSS!!! in the mall when we signed Tex, but he is nothing like I thought he was going to be for us.. sure he has the HR, and RBI so you can’t say he is bad.. but he cannot play under pressure and that does not belong on this team.. just look at his post-season numbers and his stats against the sox… he sucks and I truly wish we didn’t give him a no trade because I’d rather take a shot at Pujols than overpay and carry Mark Unclutch Teixeira.
Yea!!! Thats how to do it Mark!!!!
Cano is awesome.
CANO!!!!! and grandy!!
what a great play by Grandy there…
Cano always comes thru after tex.
Dontcha know!
Don’t you know it’s Cano!
Cano’s swing is incredible…..he’d hit .350 at Fenway. Another run for the Grandyman.
Grandy with a great read on the ball allows him to score.
if dustin is an mpv candidate, cano is two steps above him…
Grandy was able to watch the ball the whole way and knew it wasn’t getting caught…:D
Haha, cutoff man had to go way out there to help Ells out…
Is there a left handed hitter on the Yankees that does a better job of going the other way than Cano?
“Grandy with a great read on the ball allows him to score”
yup….he was gone off the bat reading it was going to be off the Monster….MVP!
Go Cano!!!
Triple Short of a Cycle August 30th, 2011 at 8:30 pm
He hit 237 against the Sox last year.
another stellar at bat by Mark. I’m done calling him by his nickname
———————————————————
Triple, seriously, how many times do you have to see him suck before you move him out of the three hole? I went from absolute admiration of Tex to flat out hatred.
I don’t feel he is a good fit in pinstripes.. I did once, but not anymore. Tex can’t handle the pressure.. just see my above post.
Cano is several flights of stairs above Dustin..
“Is there a left handed hitter on the Yankees that does a better job of going the other way than Cano?”
Gonzalez does it well also….
P-
You have been beating this drum all season. He is already at 30/100 and plays stellar defense. Yes we’d like a higher average, but look at some of the things he does right as well.
Robbie belongs in #3 spot.. he’s the man !!!! for as often as he doesn’t walk.. don’t worry Tex still fails twice as much.
Two crow hops on that play before the throw,R champ?
It’s almost a given these days that if Grandy gets on base—ANY base—he’s gonna score
While Arod is out I would love to see Swish bat between Granderson and Cano. Tex just kills rallies while he pops up off speed pitches
TheStraw…
Uhm, what about this did you not read or comprehend?
“I screamed YESSSSSS!!! in the mall when we signed Tex, but he is nothing like I thought he was going to be for us.. sure he has the HR, and RBI so you can’t say he is bad.. but he cannot play under pressure”
I give him credit for his 30/100 but he has not been the .300 or even close that we expected.. he does not deserve the contract he got or has he earned it. It’s the post-season that matters most and he has been a .100 dud! he cant take the NY pressure.
Cano really does have an all-purpose batting swing. It’s versatile for whatever ballpark he’s hitting in.
“Robbie belongs in #3 spot.. ”
Nope that’s for Alex, Robbie stays clean-up. At least if I filled out the line-up card.
The redsox take forever…..
Girardi cant afford to move Mark out of his spot in the order and drop him because the media will make a huge deal and try to create controversy and we cannot count on Mark being a professional and accepting his demotion with grace.
That’s why Grandy scores so many runs….he hits a lot of extra base hits and also he’s a good base runner that can get himself into scoring position and score from 1st on doubles.
edit “UZR champ”
gotta make it hurt here…
72 pitches for Lackey…
Good at bat from swish there
see Swish just had a great at bat.. Tex swings at just about everything now.. and to top it off he is lates on damn near everything and looks only for fastballs.
he’s supposed to be in his prime !!
P-
So I guess the ALCS game he won on a walkoff HR in 2009 doesn’t count, huh?
Yanks best lineup right now might be.
Jeter
Swisher
Granderson
Arod
Cano
Teixera
Lackey has started nibbling, it’s just a matter of time before he makes a bad pitch and gets hurt by the long ball…
The Yanks need Chavez or Posada to get hot
Lackey up to 75 pitches, I didn’t see that coming.
As hot as Swisher has been I’d like to see him moved up to #3 against righties followed by A-Rod, Cano and Tex as #6
Grandy plays hard and works hard.. he is much better than I expected but I knew he would be a good contrinutor to this team.. ust not this much.
I liked him when he was on the tigers and like him even more now !
i can hear the sirens the idiot paddy wagon is on patrol man we maybe losing half the blog in a few minutes.
NICE!!!!!
Chavy is balling!
Clutch hit Chavez.
this I love, love, love go Chavy
For the record, I agree he should be moved down in the order.
nice job for chavez!
Chavez!!!, with another seeing eye hit!!
Chavez brought his clutchness tonight. That RBI single was a little better struck
At least Boston has their own AJ Burnett on their team now….
And he would still have to be their #3 in the playoffs.
At least we can afford to leave AJ off the PS roster if necessary.
can the people who said Lackey looked good tonight chime in on whats happening right now? it looks like hes getting his ass kicked to me but i can’t be too sure.
Ellsbury has an arm reminiscent of the worst days of Bernie, Roy White, and Johnny Damon…
we have on eout in the inning.. who was it? Tex of course swinging at balls … bleh I hate Tex !
Go Chavez!!! Now Posada has to do something positive here…
blake August 30th, 2011 at 8:37 pm

Jeter
Swisher
Granderson
Arod

=============
Agreed!!!
really??? REALLY???
Why is Posada playing??????????
jesus christ this is insanity. WHY IS POSADA PLAYING?
Hard hit, but right at someone.
Tex should still hit 3rd vs LHP…..he’s just not a 3 hitter though anymore left handed…..he’s a power guy that should hit 5th or 6th from that side.
boy Jorge is killing some rallies tonight.
Posada is terrible. Kills us again. DH is a blackhole
Posada is killing big innings tonight. Free Jesus!
really Posada, thanks for bailing Lackey out of the inning…
Calling Montero, Mr. Montero to Fenway STAT!
Transparent Dude!
LOLOLOL and of course Posada swing at first pitch and DP’s… love jorge but his time is over.
Giradi plays posada in the boston series and he grounds into two dp’… you cant make this up…LOL
posada cant catch a break!

YEY ! WE AGREE FINALLY!
Yankee outs: 12
Posada outs: 4
please george, whiff next time. Awful.
Posada has to be kidding me. Why is he even in the lineup??? The Sox NEVER ever siwng at the 1st pitch and washed up Posada does it with a pitcher on the ropes. Let Jones play at least he can still hit.
Montero pls.
Rivers had no arm, either.
Yankees were going great till Posada swings at the first pitch into a DP… the second one he hit this game.
Loved Posada, but his bat just isn’t good enough.
Of course, Posada bails out Lackey again.. This song is getting soooooooooooooo old!
Don’t worry. We only have baseballs best minor league hitter in AAA. Wasting away there while our DH has a 310 obp
J. Alfred Prufrock August 30th, 2011 at 8:41 pm
Hard hit, but right at someone.
——————–\\
wow .. just wow.. J. ALfred Prufrock (The Optimist)
Well, if they want the man to hit they need to stop benching him for 2 and 3 games.
You all really can suck it, you Posada haters. You don’t even deserve to root for this team.
Go hang yourselves.
or should I say the in-denial? I mean c’mon man next you’ll see he had a great at bat swinging at the first pitch. LOL
2 at bats 2 dp.. What is the record for consecutive GIDP at bats?
drop po to 10th in the order
he’ll prolly play tmw vs beckett
but montero vs lester on thurs.
would be nice to level out cc’s pitch count this inning

real mature…
Is it written in the binder that Jones can’t play against righties? Posada has cost them 2 big innings. With a pitcher on the ropes it’s absolutely unacceptable to swing at the 1st pitch.

I don’t hate Jorge.. in fact he is one of my favorite yanks of all time.. but when your time is up, your time is up. He’s had plenty of chances to step up.. do you not remember the dreadful .098 when he was playing every day?????!?!?!?!?!??! HELLLLOOOOOOOOO !!!
Nice hanger CC.. Geez!
someone has forgotten to tell CC that little CC sucks vs. lefties!
knew that was gone soon as it hit the bat. Crawford may have been having a bad season, but not against us.
Paging Dr. Jesus.
I don’t understand why CC can’t get Crawford out…..it’s just one of those flukey things because he’s abysmal against pretty much all other lefties.
Npw we are down by only 2 runs thanks to jorge bailing out lackey with his first pitch swinging DP… and how often does jorge swing at the first pitch and make an out????????????
WAY TO FREAKIN OFTEN!
Mick
How many diffrent names do you post here under? I know of at least three, so be honest.
Ellsbury has always had a bad arm. I guess the “protein” shakes didn’t do anything for his arm strength that it did to triple the number of homers he’s had compared to any previous year.
P-
It’s not that I disagree on Tex…I do think that he is not happy with his inconsistency at the plate…but I think you are being unnecessarily harsh on him considering he is still somewhat productive.
Jorge, on the other hand, is cooked.
CC is the only lefty that Crawford can hit. CC should dominate lefties and he doesn’t especially not the Sox. The Sox are jumping on the 1st pitch just like they did in CC’s last start, it’s time to adjust.
JAP,
shut up you dork. he wasn’t hitting when they weren’t benching him. does Laura know that you and Jorge are sleeping together?
really need to start getting the bottom of this lineup out…
Bottom of the order too… Come on CC.. Bear down and beat these punks.. 3 consecutive hits now..
Non ace ace rearing into form
C’mon CC, sack up here and get out of this….
here goes CC failing against the redsox yet again.. wow another meatball. WTF, it has to be mental at this point.
How come our ace can’t handle these Sox.. It’s a struggle every time for CC now.
OMG CC get it together…why do you have to give up runs right after we score (or struggle in innings right after we score). Sheesh
CC stinks against the Sox. This game will be tied in seconds…
Posada has bailed Lackey out 2 times in this game with 4 outs and now CC is doing his thing, giving back runs we just gave him. sigh
cannot let 7-8-9 do this much damage, because eventually ellsbury and pedroia will make him regret it…
Guys, there is no need to be calling names
I’m so tired of losing to these chumps and CC isn’t making this any easier. 73 pitches in the 4th inning..
Jorge has a slugging % of .717 and an OPS of 1.037 when he puts the 1st pitch in play in 2011, some of you just have no clue.
A DP hurts but it’s part of the game.

————————————————————————————————
I am being harsh on Tex.. it’s like the guy finally scored his big $$ contract and is more concerned about philanthropy then working extra hard like Granderson to correct his late-swinging… I don’t feel bad for him at all and I am overly harsh because everybody seems to let him ride.. if it was Arod hitting .250 with 30/100 the last 2 seasons he would be lynched already and booed.
jorge is killing them tonight big time..
4 outs on 2 or 3 total pitches…….
Great pitch.
Nice pitch!
It’s really annoying how CC can beat every team except these guys. You never see him miss right over the plate as much as he does when he faces them. It’s usually the garbage in their lineup that beats him also.
Very lucky there on the call strike 3
Tex’s last 2 seasons vs RHP.
2010: .244/.342/.457/.799
2011: .224/.327/.478/.805
He’s just been a different hitter from the left side the last 2 seasons…it’s not a blip. Still has a ton of power from that side and hit’s a lot of homers from that side….but the swing doesn’t allow the consistency you like to see from your 3 hitter.
Please dont let Mark Scooter hurt us again
i asked before why tex cannot replicate his rh swing from the left side….
why is that so hard to do?
That was excellent example of setting a batter up….he established the inside part of the plate again, and then gets the call on the outside corner….thats pitching guys
Scutaro also has had good numbers against CC
MG,
why don’t you post Jorge’s line for the entire season and then tell me who doesn’t have a clue
Big k, one more
Great pitch by CC there.
Cc makes Crawford look good
Cervelli moves too much behind the plate. Just catch the ball…..
P,
I couldn’t agree more about Mark. In a big spot I would rather see anyone else up including Cervelli or Posada. You know its bad when you are satisfied with a strikeout so he doesn’t his into a DP
I really can’t stand how Scutero keeps killing them….he’s not any good.
Why, CC?
What we hopefor? 6 inn tops?
really letting the scrubs on this team beat up on us…
the 4 worst hitters are doing all the damage…..
2 for 2 against CC for Mark Scooter. Just gave back the 2 runs we got. Yippee!
this is sad….guess the DP by Jorgie is important after all
CU right down the middle though….
I’m sorry CC, but there is no excuse for letting Scutaro get that hit.. Just plain awful pitching there. Ace’s don’t do that!! Crap!!!!
All right, no comment till the end.
He’s just been a different hitter from the left side the last 2 seasons…it’s not a blip. Still has a ton of power from that side and hit’s a lot of homers from that side….but the swing doesn’t allow the consistency you like to see from your 3 hitter.
–
Read that article I posted before about information. Hitters across the league are getting killed by advanced shifts and pitching sequences
Non ace ace giving it right back
Idiot Jorge didnt hustle on the 1st double play. Should have easily beat that one out, despite his slowness
CC just serving it up after being staked to a 3-0 lead…WONDERFUL !
What a piece of crap outing tonight. To think that AJ is further down the road..
damn!,
Scutaro is one annoying fellow, he played for my team down here, but boy!!, does he hurts us
Garbage Scutaro owns CC. So that wasn’t surprising. Can CC actually locate and stop throwing pitches right down the middle?!?!?! The Sox are definitely in CC’s head.
Hate to say it but this game likely ended when posada made his 4th out of the game. Changed everything, sox have momentum now and it looks like most of the other 10 losses to this team.
The Sox make CC look like a 4th starter.
jerkface, good hitters adjust, to pitch sequences and shifts. But Mark does not
JF,
I don’t have the link…..when did you post it? Regardless though….Tex’s swing doesn’t allow him to adjust to beat the shift from the left side….so regardless of anything it comes back to that as the core problem.
Posada has f’d them. Not just this game. All season
Jorge has been a great Yankee for a long time. There is no doubt that he has struggled this year, but the man is trying his hardest.
You don’t start abusing great Yankees because they struggle. Yeah 2 DP’s against the Sox is hard to take for some of you, but have a little class. Also, If you have a problem with him playing that’s on Giradi, not Jorge.
http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_.....ame-played
wow just wow
Need those runs back.
Luckily Gonzalez has no chance…..
why does scutaro kill us and agon not?
The difference between our teams is their players perform versus us and ours go dormant or negatively impact games.
Scutaro, reddick, saltalamachia…..all outperform against us.
Posada, gardner, catchers spot……all suck or are detrimental when we play them.
Ace August 30th, 2011 at 8:55 pm
Posada has f’d them. Not just this game. All season

Ugh. That sucked. Time to pile in Slackey.
Made A-Gon look bad. RS bloggers must be cursing him right about now!!
way to go CC, pitching like an ACE once again. Not gonna make it through 6 innings in the biggest game of the year so far. I hope this douche does opt out.
i wish cc could go long enough to k gonzalez one or two more times, but i assume the next time he is up, Logan will be pitching to him.
Tex has been a hige disappointment at the plate. We got another Giambi. Thought we were getting a complete hitter. Yet we got a pull happy hr hitter.
Posada has no right in this lineup anymore. It’s about baseball now. I’m sorry it sounds bad, but he is awful and should let guys who have earned the right to play. He’s made his money!
Big K. That is what Aces do. They find it when they don’t have their best stuff. Don’t want tomhear this “not an ace” crap. He just needs to find a way against these guys tonight, and if he can do that he’ll be fine the rest of the season against them.

That’s because you are an idiot.
Terrible job by CC. Why can’t he ever locate his pitches against this team???
Time to sit posada again and see what Jones can do. At least jones will strike out or homer and avoid any GIDP. Posada is just awful tonight.
make any excuse you want but Tex has lost his bat speed and that is the main issue!
Wow CC again sucking against Boston. 7 hits and 2BB in 4 innings. Ouch.
Jerkface,
Ortiz doesn’t seem to be effected by the shift. He adusted
6 innings for cc…
i’ll take it with a lead.
@tar. We all love posada. But this isn’t a sentimental game. Produce or go. Cheer during old tuners day 2015. Montero should be playing.
CC bent…didn’t break. They need to get those runs back because this is going to be a bullpen battle and the Sox’s pen is more rested.
Posada’s slash line from the left side of the plate in 2011 is .275/.350/.470/.820
He doesn’t start against lefthanders, that ship has sailed.
Got anyone better than that to put in the lineup on the current Yankee roster?

Dumbest post of the night … and that is saying something
There is something really wrong here if Montero isn’t the DH after Sept 1….
We already know AJ is starting September 1, so that day starts in the negative…
GO CERVELLI!!!!!!
CC sucks.
Go Cervelli!!!!
Cervelli just told me to suck it with that bomb. Wow.
what the ??????????/ lol
P and Ace – you’re both asses.
Cervelli!!!
Free Cervelli!
Tar, key words u used were “has been” a great Yankee. Sick and tired of watching these wrong side of 35 year olds clog up a spots where a Montero could be producing, and playing with the big club. Dude is a DP waiting to happen. It’s been when your rooting for the guy to K instead of the inevitable DP with runners on.
Clearly… Cervelli>>Posada
that’s why cervy’s in there…
you really can’t predict baseball…
That’s one back. Go Cervelli
Cervelli with a shot almost out of the park.
Good way to continue your mastery against Lackey, Cervelli!
Cervi!!!!, makes them pay!!!
Tar,
I love Jorge for all he has given to the Yanks, but I hope tonight’s game shows Joe that he should no longer start in these “big” games. Even his good LH splits aren’t helping him tonight.
BTW, Frankie!
what a shot!
wow seems like Cervelli is always making some impact when he plays.

Thanks you just got an email to Chad for your wonderful ability to maturely disagree. Grow up clown.
They have wasted a roster spot on posada all year and Burnett the past month. Tough playing with 23.
The Red sox are just too good. They sure look like they can go 162-0 in a season.
Wow….that was crushed. Cervelli’s biggest fly ever?
JF,
that’s a nice article and probably accounts for some of the why he’s struggled…..but the how comes back to his swing and approach. He’s continuing to pound the ball into the shift and expecting a different outcome…..rather than fix the problem he’s just trying to hit more homers. It’s kinda like a golfer aiming left to account for their slice instead of actually fixing their slice by fixing their swing.
.265 for Gardner.. He is really slumping.. almost bench time.. Can Nunez play LF?
Thanks you just got an email to Chad for your wonderful ability to maturely disagree. Grow up clown.
==============
ya think chad cares?
We r ‘asses’ for saying Posada shouldn’t be on the team? Um ok
HAHAHAHAH CERVI!!!!
Ace
I’m not saying anybody has to cheer Jorge, but how about showing some class when talking about an all time Yankee great. All that other bull is what Red Sox fans do.
Gardner still hasn’t adjusted to major league pitchers. Next time he bats Long should make him swing at the 1st pitch. It’s always a fastball right down the middle because they know he won’t swing.
love the first pitch swinging out love them!!!
MG-
If Alex can ever get healthy, I prefer Chavez at DH against rhp.
.265 for Gardner.. He is really slumping.. almost bench time.. Can Nunez play LF?

two more days they can bring up a Golson or Parraz or someone to play, plus there is Andruw Jones…
38 hot dogs,
I don’t think your sarcasm meter is working tonight…
Yawn.
This game is an absolute must win if home field means anything to this team in october. Win today, split the wed/thurs via an act of god, and we’re in business.
Dude? Mick? Ok …you keep thinking about it. better yet save it for after the game.

It’s not Chad it’s in the T&C and yes the bosses due care. wow what a winner.. go ring a bottle and win a life.
Gardner is great when he is on.. He’s a pest, but right now he’s an auto-out and barely making solid contact.
Yankeefem-
Tell me I’m on the correct pro Yankee blog tonight!
sdjohn,
My bad – hard to distinguish with all the crying going on
Straw, I don’t disagree with you but Jorge hasn’t been that bad from the left side and has had a good August, those are the 1st DP’s of the month for him.
blake,
very good analogy, props
Now lets see what the Tex dud does.
We’re ready to bench Gardner again huh? Doesn’t matter how bad his slump at the plate gets, his defense evens it out. Putting anyone else out there for any extended stretch would be a poor, poor move.
Pitching around Granderson to throw off speed pitches to Tex
Tex is done.
The Mark popup
Atta boy Tex, keep sluggin, dog.
Tex you blow.. What’s up with the straight up pop outs lately..
Teixeira popped up. I am in shock!
PeteAbe: Gonzo will get the game winning hit tonight.
ah yes the first pitch pop out….
a ‘tex’ if you will…
Tex is a bum.. first pitch ball .. he swings and pops up .. at least take a damn pitch.. GARBAGE!
Why would anyone ever pitch to Granderson when you could just get Tex to pop up off speed pitches? He is dreadful.
OMG!!!! I did not see that pop up from Tex coming. SHOCKING!!! Esp considering it was the first pitch!!!
That’s pretty much all Tex can do to the opposite field…..he can pull the ball and hit weak flyballs to LF
what a shocker tex popped up on a off speed pitch. that never happens. the yanks hit tex a 250 hitter 3rd or 4th in the order, that is wrong.
he has a 100 rbi’s because of the team he plays on not his performance……
they won’t bench gardner, but maybe he could use a day off.
jones will probably start in left vs. lester thursday anyway…
i never boo yankees when I go to games, never ever have. but I will boo the bum Tex. I want him out of NY.
Mark could hit 190 next season and Jerkface and others would continue to mention is 30 plus homers and great defense
Dude? Mick? Ok
=========
you are sad…starting things up….talk about passive agressive, you are a child.
Crying, there’s no crying in baseball!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t48brs4QRjY
what are the odds of CC producing a 1,2,3 inning….cause that would be soooo helpful
Granderson doesn’t have any intentional walks but teams are pitching him differently…..they aren’t willing to give in to him anymore with Tex hitting behind him. I love Tex….and think he’s a good and productive player….but he’s not a 3 or 4 hitter from the left side.
It seems like someone over Girardi’s head is making him play Posada. Their best lineup for tonight would of been Nunez at 3rd and DH Chavez or Jones in LF and DH Chavez. Posada has been absolutely awful but even if he was hitting you can’t sit someone for days at a time and then just throw them out there. Enough with automatic outs already for sentimental reasons.
We may see Cy Young candidate Aceves tonight.
Game time brings all the whiney pregnant teenagers to this place. Keep it up. You are doing great things for yourselves and others.
bosses due care. wow what a winner..
==================due? it’s do…and yes I am a Winner.
“Mark could hit 190 next season and Jerkface and others would continue to mention is 30 plus homers and great defense”
those things have value….he’s already at 30/100 for the 8th year in a row. For me it’s more about where he is in the lineup….he should hit 6th vs RHP and they should get Cano up higher.
The Yanks are going to miss Noesi tonight. CC isn’t going to pitch deep and the bullpen is very short.
Truth hurts. And you started it.
Typical pedroia 14 pitch at bat that will end in a wall double
Sabathia with 200 strikeouts
Thanks u for whiffing that little retarded a$$clown.
Teixeira isn’t hitting well from the left side. I’d bat him 6th or 7th lefty as the Yankees have a number of superior lefty hitters. All your early season whining when Tex was actually doing well has paid off after his slump, congrats?
Ortiz doing what Tex should do. Another thing separating them. Bos a huge advantage at DH.
Tex hits really well with men on base because teams are less likely to shift against him.
Time to get out the latter part of the order
guess its not going to be an easy inning for CC
blake,
25 million dollars of value? Did the Yankees sign him to hit 6th the majority of the time? They thought they were getting a 280-290 hitter not 240 and not someone he disappears in the playoffs. Mark gets basically no criticism other then a few posters here meanwhile Arod who put up way better numbers got booed every time he came to the plate
Man, it is a struggle with CC lately..
It stinks that CC can’t dominate their lefties, maybe he has to change his pitching patterns. He isn’t going to last that much longer in this game.
Perhaps it’s time to get someone up in the pen….Wade or Ayala.
loads of idiots for the paddy wagon. hey dudes do you guys ever go back and read some of the stupid things you post here. some embarassing stuff man. love a dude and then hate a dude and these are your dudes on your team man. no different than the boston fans man.
FYI. This is y 6 starters is ridiculous. Pen short now.
Not being able to keep a team honest when they shift against u is weak. Giambi couldn’t do it, now Tex can’t do it. Its weak.
when the best hitters start earning votes for the cy young, the best pitcher should get votes for the mvp but not before.
Ace August 30th, 2011 at 9:13 pm

A one game separation.
CC hasn’t been the same since the rain delayed Sea game.
ridiculous!
Non ace ace can’t go 5 innings
Maybe I missed it but when was Mark hitting well this year other then then first week and a half of the season?
we are lucky that Ortiz can’t run very well
This is pathetic…He can’t even get their garbage hitters out.
CC just doesn’t have it tonight. Sure alot of K’s, but 9 hits and every time the Yanks give him a lead he wants to give it back. Ridiculous.
Ace,
Ortiz doesnt have the uppercut swing that Tex does, thats why he pop ups so many balls

==============================================
so true.. HAHAHHAHAHAHAH !
Every game is the same against them. Literally same stuff every time. Lowries, saltalamachias, scutaros, reddicks, etc. All marginal players all doing constant damage. Our starter doesn’t get through 6, our offense fails miserably in spots where we can turn a tight game into a laugher. Identical games.
On June 19th, Tex had 21 HRs and a .251 .365 .537 .901 line.
@the straw. What’s tge record nyy vs bos?? That’s a huge separation.
struggling to get out of the 5th inning for your Ace is disturbing. He’s been in a funk for quite some time now.
Cano!
wow nice play by robbie !
thank you SOOO MUCH Robbie. Excellent play!!!!
Cano saved our bacon there.
that was a loud out, whew!!
Whew! Now get Salty out
Nice play, Robbie! Saved a run there, for sure.
He should be able to get Saltymarsjeijfurelfnrrieujeue out here
I don’t think they are paying him 25 million to hit 250
Tex has become a HR happy pull hitter. That’s not a #3 hitter. Especially with an obp of 340.
Fear not, another sht player, salty, will deliver and tie the game.
Why hasn’t the “advanced” shift effected Ortiz?
Girardi should treat this like game 7 with Hughes n Burnett next two.

Yup, that really annoys me that Tex gets a pass. Dont forget he has a no-trade clause which never should’ve happened. We give those out and get stuck with the overpaid duds as soon as they get their $$$.
Sad that jerkface and others can ride the Gardner and Mark train but bash Jeter.
Way to pitch out of a jam. Quiet the doubters on this blog.
C!!!!!!!!!!!
Sit down, Salty!
Now the offense has to get back to work
Please don’t bring CC out for another inning
Good call, Carlo.
he made a good come back….
Man. This has been a slog for CC.
I cant wait to see how Hughes and AJ do after watching CC struggle thru 5
Little shoulder bump from Ortiz walking past CC on their way to their dugouts!
what did I start? Where? Show me…
11 baserunners in 5 innings. Way to go fatty.
P-
Who gives a crap about his contract?
they make cc work too hard
he has to overpower to be effective
and they dont swing the bat

Don’t try and rationalize what the loner loser drug addict says… I just ignore him. H emakes no sense but to himself. But he thinks he’s all that because he can read baseball reference .com’s stats. LOL he thinks he’s genius because he can copy paste !
Will the BP be able to hold on to the lead to give CC a win tonight? I doubt he will be coming out for the next inning.
The only folks happy with the production from tex are those who were so vehement they can’t relent now. He’s a 250 hitter with a 340 obp with power. The opportunity cost of havinf him: blocks montero, sacrificed gonzalez, blocks pujols. Better first baseman are plentiful.
If Bos lineup grinds CC like this imagine what they’ll do next 2 games.
Dude!!!!! Just stick to humor, the other stuff is not really you anyway.

Me because I’d like to trade him and cant. I don’t care about the $$$ Yanks have plenty to pay over worth, that’s the last I concern myself with.
I’m a drug addict?
Ortiz has adjusted his approach at the plate and he goes to the opposite field. All that besides the extra juicing.
Crawford did not have to leap there FWIW
Stop swinging at 1st pitches. Crawford made an easy play look hard
Nicky Nick!
the last I checked, the score was Yankees 4, Red Sox 2
Am I watching the same game as the rest of you?
don’t know what youre talking about Dude, do you?
If anyone on this team is deserving of ridicule, it is Mark. Posada, not really, because of his past. Mark is just, well, not great
Um…isn’t the score 4-2 Yanks here, not the other way around?

They weren’t getting Gonzalez, they had Tex for 2 years before Gonzalez was even available. Who was going to be at 1st base? Swisher? How would 2009 have looked when they had no pitching staff, no 39 120 from Tex, and Swisher at 1st and AAA players in RF once Nady died?
I wonder if Robertson is available tonight? If not they are really introuble.
MG… Lol, same thought.
Straw – I like being wrong.
Po can’t bang into a DP at least..
go to sleep jorge.. err
Posada should have retired in June
Wade or CC
Im sure Robertson and Rivera will be available. Joe knows the importance of winning this game with AJ going thursday.
there is so much hype over these games and it is a holiday when they play but these games are basically meaningless esp if they win 1.
also, our ace has to be able to beat these guys if we face them in the ALCS
JF – 09 wouldn’t have looked so good. I’m not anti tex but I call it like I see he, he has disappointed me. Not the player I hoped we were getting.
At least Posada only gave up one out that time. Of course it was only because there were already 2 outs.
The frustrating thing about this Yankee team is, while they work the pitcher, they also take AB’s off where they are swinging early for easy outs.
we need cc to gt thru the 6th unscathed, yes if robo is out we’re in trouble…cant rely on chavez and cervy to carry us
Girardi knows he has to win this. He’ll empty the pen tonight. N pray for rain wed n thu
I’m not anti tex but I call it like I see he, he has disappointed me. Not the player I hoped we were getting.

He isn’t having a good season. Can only hope he makes an adjustment left handed.
Short rope, please Joe.
Straw, this blog will be unreadable the next time the Yankees are either tied or behind the Sox in any game for the rest of the season.
It’s a loser’s mentality, but, hey, whatever floats their boats.
Carlo, Texeira is just a more productive Giambi. Home run or bust.
posada in this game is hitting backward, need sac fly, hit grnd ball. Do not need sac fly, hit fly ball.
shocked he brought him out for the 6th
Girardi better take out CC at the 1st sign out trouble. They have blown games against the Sox the last 2 years because he leaves CC out there too long.
Giambi had more patience
Pray for rain my tush we’re here to conquer.
Fenway is a dump.
Man dude, your righteous posts are so cool, but way transparent mr dude, so how about you take a chill pill. Do you know now Dude?
He isn’t having a good season. Can only hope he makes an adjustment left handed.
He didn’t have a good season last year either
Darnell mcdonala, aka vroom vroom party starter. Yet another 8 pitch at bat to start an inning.
CC: 55 hits in 41 IP in August. What’s wrong with him?
This is a lineup without their best hitter too. N grinding our ace out of game
The Sox get every call in their ballpark. CC can’t walk garbage like this guy…
Nice play.
He didn’t have a good season last year either
–
Was that in debate? He was very banged up last year though.
Hey Mick:
How goes the blog tonite ? (Save me the trouble of scrolling the last 4 innings)
nice play Chavy
Nice play
laughing uproariously at you idiots. i used to come here years ago and enjoy discussing the game with fellow yankees fans. now there are barely any yankees fans here, just a bunch of morons who cant even be happy when their team is doing well.
just confirms the decision i made over 2 years ago to not waste my gametime on this blog. too bad, it used to be good before all you a holes started showing up.
apologies to the 2 yankees fans who still come here for some crazy reason.
Chavez is money with the leather.
Bye bye CC. I blame that rain game vs Sea for this funk. He hasn’t been the same
That was a strike
I would take him out now….
CC stays in to hold Ellsbury at 1st, but stuck with Scutaro who has owned him tonight and in the past.
Please retire Mark Scooter
@y’s guy. Yet u come here n post daily. Weird
They don’t need CC throwing 130 pitches. Girardi is extending him too much here…
Boston is due for one of their infield singles that starts a huge inning.
He’s staying in to face Gon.
It doesn’t help that Rapuano’s strike zone is the size of a pin cushion.

Hi, I’m YsGuy, and I am, the most interesting man in the world.
“25 million dollars of value? ”
I think we sometimes get caught up in what players are paid and lose sight of what the player still does well. No, the Yankees didn’t expect to get a .240 hitter when they signed Teixera…..but that doesn’t mean he’s a bum. He’s still productive on both sides of the ball…..and just because maybe he’s not a cornerstone hitter…he’s still pretty good.
Velocity still there at 124 pitches Go get him CC
PeteAbe: Gonzo will get the game winning hit tonight.
Can we talk politics now ?
“Yet u come here n post daily. Weird
‘
One of Pete A’s most accurate statements. “this place is like crack”
Get Gonzo and call it a night big fella…..hard fought night for Sabathia, he’s clawed tooth and nail in this one
I’m guessing DRob is not available for today? Neither is Mo? Since they pitched 2 days in a row?
Tex is not a bum, anyone who calls him a bum is ridiculous.
CC’s arm is going to fall off
Pitch # 127?? (thud)
nice that Boston got 2 days off in a row before this series….and that their pen is 100% rested
C!!!!!!!
Good job CC.
lotta pitches for CC, guess even though it was a struggle he survived.
127 pitches? really? Does even Girardi know this has to be his last batter?
im rooting for the yankees, not tearing them up. but you aholes just go on wallowing in your misery ill go join my friendly yankees fans elsewhere. just too bad what you people did here.
adios see you at the championship parade.
yeah…cc really sucks… get a grip.
Sox lineup and home ump made CC work for it tonight. Good job overall.
Not an ace, my a–.
CC has done a great job considering.
i called cc in 6 but…if robo is out he might throw him 1 more then soriano
man….he got through 6 with a lead…..wasn’t easy but he made the pitches when he had to. His arm isn’t going to fall off…..he’s been in a 6 man rotation for weeks pitching on extra rest.
I said in the 2nd inning it would take at least 5 runs to win this game. The 4 we have no aint gonna cut it.
so 4-2 CC over Lackey in the 6 innings that the starters go….now it is a 3 inning battle of the bullpens, YIKES !
That was a grind. Imagine Hughes n aj next 2. Wow
Need…..more…..runs….!!
Rivera threw about ten pitches last night. He’s available.
Ys Guy August 30th, 2011 at 9:40 pm

sure sounds like a friendly yankee fan too me. Good luck, enjoy yourself wherever you go. I promise you won’t be missed in the slightest. Did I say good luck Mr. Friendly?
Way to go and keep Ellsbury at 1st.
Now get some more runs and hand it to So and DRob and if necessary Mo
I say 6 runs wins this.
time to put the game away for good.
Here is my take on tonight’s game:
The Sox did a great job against CC, you have to give them credit for that.
CC toughed it out and gave them 6 innings of 2 run ball on a night where the Sox probably would have scored double digits against a lesser pitcher. If anything he was too strong tonight, he needs to start going on 4 days rest.
Many of you won’t get that but it’s directed at the ones who do, they understand my point.
PeteAbe: Gonzo will get the game winning hit tonight….so much for that jackwagon’s assertion that he is only a reporter and roots for NO TEAM…..Mr. Dough Boy Ice Hole !
Big game in half stadium for CC.
#$%@ you, Lackey!
CC was really pretty good tonight….you have to give Boston credit….they are a tough lineup when they dig in.
Imagine that….Lackey hits Cervelli. Who would have guessed…..punk
there better be no warning before we can retaliate.
What is wrong with what Cervelli did? What about when Ortiz showed us up in Yankee Stadium?
C is ready to brawl.
CC is pissed he’s out of the game now
charge the f’n mound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so sick of this crap and why wasn’t he thrown out of the game. and Once again the Yankee announcers blame the Yankees. F’n amazing
how was that hand clap at the RedSOx catcher…get over it. Please tell me how Lackey does not get tossed immediately…..!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Total BS
love CC looking for blood !!!
let cc start the 7th and hit their first batter since he is done anyway…
PeteAbe will get the last pork chop tonight.
I’ll take a free base runner.
We shouldn’t be surprised with the dirty Sox….
Another gutless beaning by a BoSux Punk Pitcher….I bet both benches were warned so we get no payback, right?
Our own commentators are going against our team. Ken, Alois, and Kay are losers
Hopefully this many pitches for CC, doesn’t make the Yanks think they need to give CC an extra day, thus continuing with the 6man.
Lackey should be tossed.
CC dug in and left with the lead still intact. It wasn’t pretty, but I think he did a really nice job of digging in and gutting it out.
Let’s go, bullpen!
And some more runs would be just dandy, btw, offense.
And of course a yankee gets thrown out in all of this.
Girardi needs to get thrown out once in a while!
There will be retribution for this at some point in the next three days.
That’s on purpose…..right in the middle of the back right after a HR. Pretty obvious.
Who got thrown out?
Of course Lackey “I can’t keep my teeth in my mouth” isn’t thrown out of the game
lol@Joe Girardi pretending he is upset. Go have a veggie burger Joe you idiot.
How come Yankee pitchers never throw at a player until after they’ve been thrown at first.. wimps.
Please tell me how Lackey doesn’t get thrown out?
are you kidding? who got thrown out?
BULL**** and at the end of this a Yankee player gets thrown out….everyone in the freaking stadium knows that Cervelli was hit on purpose how does the umpire not throw Lackey out the game. Lackey should have been immediately tossed. Unfreaking believable
how do you throw a pitching coach out when his back is to the 3rd base ump..
I hope the Yanks score this run after that
After reading Y’s guy post I can’t find much fault with it.
I do think almost everybody here is/are Yankee fans. But some of you have a very weird way of showing it.
I hope you stick around Y.
back in the old days, when Frank Robinson or Reggie got plunked or knocked down, they came back and took it out on the other team by hitting it out of the park.
It’s time for the Yankees to put up enough runs to make the game safe for the ‘pen.
And there goes Lackey, douching it up once again.
How I wish Strawberry was still on this team
They waited until CC and his 96 mph fastball was done for the night
aha the pitching coach….we are so screwed now ! LOL
Walk-double steal, single
When Ortiz celebrates, our commentators laud him and say he is an emotional player. Cervelli does it, our own guy, and our jerk commentators go against him. Shut up Ken. You are an Oriole and always have been
They have to take advantage of this situation
holy cow I just saw BG bunt for a hit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haha and Grady get a base hit…F the RedSox
Somebody has to be beaned again, Gardner!!!! thats a bunt
Singleton is an absolute joke. Does this guy ever defend the Yankees in any way shape or form?
knew it was coming and still couldnt stop it….
thats what gardner needs to do more of…
I even invoked the Gritner nickname. I was desperate, but it worked.
Nice Brett
Just don’t let jeter swing at the first pitch please
Great bunt….but why was he bunting 3-0. It worked out so I’ll take it.
Its possible burnett will hit lackey with a wild pitch on thursday.
Blake-
If AJ decides to pitch inside on Thursday he’ll pop a few RS hitters before getting tossed!!
Whats the difference between hand clapping your 2nd HR all year, or any slugger or player clapping their hands and then praising God or forearm bashing the guy on the on-deck circle or high fiving anyone who scored with them?
Lackey is a dick.
wow Jeter took a pitch try another one Jeter, Lackey has thrown 4 balls out of 5 pitches make him work
still doesn’t see how the clap was showing up the RedSox….if that was the intent Cervelli would have looked at Lackey or the catcher when he was doing it. If anyone knows Cervelli they know he does stuff like that all the time…he’s an active/emotionally player. He was showing anyone up. Ridiculous.
If a Yankees pitcher did what Lackey just did you can guarantee he would of been thrown out of the game
No Triple. Ken does not, because he is an Oriole. But everyone on here likes him. Lets get 6 runs in this inning so then we can retaliate tonight
“Its possible burnett will hit lackey with a wild pitch on thursday.”
Really prefer to just let gardy steal 2nd while jeter takes here.
of course he swings.. jesus christ what’s his IQ 5?
I NEVER listen to the supposed Yankees announcers, they are all jack@$$e$ and couldn’t be more anti-Yankees if they tried. Screw them and their supposedly objective opinions. I would rather listen to my kids bicker than subject myself to their blathering about a Yankees game!
Its possible burnett will hit lackey with a wild pitch on thursday.

That’ll take some doing unless Lackey happens to be walking by while Burnett is warming up!!LOL

I agree. I bet if the Yanks retaliate this game or next inning the Yanks pitcher will get thrown out. But no not the RedSox
Come on Jeter!!!
No excuses, if they don’t blow the game open here they don’t deserve to win.
“of course he swings.. jesus christ what’s his IQ 5?”
you really are sounding like an idiot. The idea is to get hits, not work the count
wow.. just wow.
How’s that HBP working for you, Lackey? You sure showed him!
Hear, hear Don Vito.
I’ll take it.
The Yankees won’t retaliate.
I was hoping Cervelli would have said something when he crossed home plate
ugh, another rally killer.
These DP’s are killing big innings
At least we scored a run…
Tar, does that stand for Re-TAR-d … seems like it fits.
Lackey, about as smart as he is good-looking.
Thanks for the gift run, Fishface.
why is Gardy not going….seriously what are the odds of Jeter swinging and missing and even if he does Gardy could prolly get in safe. There should never be a DP with Gardy on 1st base.
Its simply amazing. The core 2 is mastering the art of the big inning baloon popping tonight.
awww Tar, need a tissue?
ugh….not the best way to get that run home. That’s slider Jeter fouled off had a hit me sign attached to it.
I knew it….what a joke Jeter has been tonight 4 ground outs with a GIDP to top off what may be his last AB….Captain Clutch, right ? NOT !!!!
The idea is to get hits, not work the count
–
Well one of these is helped by doing the other. Thats one of the reasons I don’t like Gardner-Jeter in the lineup, it has bad synergy because Derek is so aggressive. Gardner had 2nd stolen three times but Jeter fouled it off. Unfortunately there isn’t really a great way to flip them so they’ll just continue to live with that pairing.

you really are sounding like an idiot. The idea is to get hits, not work the count
———————
don’t confuse the kid, he’s allegedly like 15 or 16, he can’t understand the hit and run was on for that pitch and Jeter took the next one because he thought Gardner was going to steal 2nd.
Lackey is an a…hole, i thought i couldn’t dislike someone as much as i dislike Beckett….i was wrong.
Cervelli should clapped again when he crossed home. Because god forbid that a Yankee player clap when crossing home because that is “showing up” the RedSox
Of course some of you will complain even though they increased the lead there.
nesn showing when cc hit ortiz, and thinks its because they never hit him, instead of reminding us it was retaliation for 3 HBPs by Beckett earlier that game.
Where’s a Randy post when you need one
working the count — AKA — have a good at bat, but right let’s fall right into a 1-2 count when a pitcher throws 4 balls straight balls.. do yourself a favor.. start following soccer.
Well at least Lackey’s HBP tantrum cost him a run.
P
Are you the one, that’s a kid of someone who posts here?
anyone up in the pen?
MG: protect your mommy, don’t worry about what the other princess says.
Nevermind, I’ll heat you a bottle.
P-
You’re really showing your age tonight with the petulant tone of your comments.
Tar. nope. and even if I was .. who cares?
You’re not that bright of a baseball fan, I’ve read your posts for over a year.
No Tar. The idea is to not make outs. If you draw walks, you cannot commit an out. Work the count, draw walks.
Where’s Soriano? next inning and no DRob tonight?
TheStraw, and now here you come.. jumping on the bandwagon.. it’s so common here that you old farts with no lives that live on this blog gang up on a teenager..
seriously, it’s quite comical. Trust me, when I am your age I will think of you guys and laugh– well maybe not think of you — but I do recognize the sad existence of most of you already.
did Lackey even get warned?…..I mean it was so obvious that that was intentional
it looks like Robertson isn’t pitching tonight or Soriano would be in here…
Did any of you pay attention to Singleton’s last comment. These two teams are as evenly matched as it gets.
Man is that the truth.
where are these pitches ???
do not walk the elf!
Getting squeezed once again….
Wade’s getting squeezed.
triple dude. you are an idiot dude so is this ac1 dude. hey man don’t feel real bad dude you are not alone tonight. baseball smarts not required for this game tonight.
4 straight strikes from Wade and the ump doesn’t call em
blake, didn’t NESN say both teams were warned?
lighten up you anal retentive chromosome missing deadbeats.
Blake-
Both benchs were warned.
cc didnt have his a game, but 6 innings and 2 runs against boston is as much as we can ask for.
pen has to hold it.
Sounds like someone needs another grounding.
Some of these balls are clear strikes.
MG,

oh geez c’mon
And leave Dude alone.
Who didn’t see this coming? Logan needs to do his job tonight.
Girardi should of used Wade last night or the night before so Robertson would be available tonight. Only using Soriano and Robertson for one inning every night kills them.
Guys….play nice. The Yanks are winning after all…..divert your anger towards John Lackey.

You got it wrong. I never insult until I am attacked first.. and in this case I was called names and ganged up on for posting my opinion about cetain players.. its the ‘mature’ adults here that like to call me names like a-hole-idiot & moron..
I have yet to attack a single person on this blog and instigate before being called multiple names multiple times.
Good Boone or Bad Boone here?
My Dad, reads the blog all the time. He doesn’t post anymore.. you can probably guess why.
boone, got boooned
lol @Ortiz slow
Um, I’d like to order a different movie for a change.
Can you folks please talk about baseball and not one another?
Why he can’t get more lefties out is beyond me.
Boone Logan continues to prove he is a waste
This is a joke. The Yankees lefties can’t get a guy out who can’t hit lefties. Do the Yankees actually have scouting reports??!?!?!
there is really no excuse for a Yankees loss tonight, they need to win this game.
Why did Joe pitch Wade in this game? They struggled vs Os and burned the pen,
Terrible job Joe.
Been saying it since April MGM malpractice not getting another lefty
Big K.
Sox are so due for a rinky dink infield single that opens the flood gates.
scroll up and see how many times I was attacked before I retaliated. once, twice sure but three and four times gets me started. Just the way it is.
.. and my dad is reading this blog now. When I get out of line he’s the first to pull the plug on my computer.
Big K there for Boonie….now finish the inning off.
Logan is no lefty specialist. Is there any hope of someone from the farm filling that role after sept 1?
mick August 30th, 2011 at 10:05 pm

*************
I gave it 50/50 that Boone would we himself on the mound, I want a redo.
this is crazy, he loses the lefty but gets the righty wow!!
Crawford wishes he played every game of the season vs the Yankees…all 162…the guy sucks vs everyonevelse, and becomes Ted Williams vs us!
Too much in the way of negative waves.
They’re not booing you, Jarrod. They’re saying, “Booooone!”

Seriously how the heck did this happen yet again !!! UNREAL!
where was that?
Soriano can’t get 4 outs?
This ump has to be kidding me
What’s up with ‘Binder Joe’ ? ?
Why no Sori, DRob and Mo ? 7th, 8th, 9th in a close game.
Wade and Logan ? ? ?
low slider… come on……..
if he blows the win for CC I will be steaming
I love the dynamic between P and his Dad. Take it easy on the guy. He’s a Yankee fan like many of the rest of us. Direct ur anger towards posada instead.
runners going
maybe Cervelli should stop poping up like that?
this is the pitch of the night
K!!!
Logan!!!
Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooone!!!!
big time Logan….great job!!!
Boooooooooooooooooone!
Wow Booner
an extra fist pump from cervelli!
lol@Carlo hhahahaha.
Thatta baby boone and syick the fist pumps right up their fking a$$ cervy!
Uh oh. Cervelli pumped his fist. That’s a no no
Atta boy Boonie!!!
Cervy with the triple fist pump.
Pump the fist Frankie!!! Frankie should have gone right in McDonald’s face and pumped his fist!
Excellent job Boonie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man, white-knuckle pressure, but Logan got it done.

nice!! Brett grew some chest hair just now!
Take that you scummy piece of garbage SUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oy. This game is causing so much gastrointestinal distress.
There goes Cervelli being all happy again. Watch out Fransisco, Lackey may pull out a gun. Of course, in all the baseball world, he would be justified in shooting your ass, as long as he’s in a Red Sox uniform…
Boone Logan continues to prove he is a waste
==================
yeah right..
what would the red sox do if mo hit one of their guys on purpose? I mean, you can’t fight mo. It would be hilarious to watch.
yes and booney delivers, not against the lefty but he retires two righties< what eda ya know!!
Nice job Logan. Too bad he had to throw 6 strikes to get the batter out.
LMAO that Ortiz never did score there….Sir Juice-A-Lot!
My Dad used to post here all the time, but he got tired of the insults. He knows more about the Yankees than anybody.. including what’s going on behind closed doors!
Cervelli is one of the few Yankees that is feisty. From day one, thats what I liked about him. Hes the kinda guy that wears his heart on his sleeve and Im sure the Sox hate him, and he sure appears to hate the Red Sox. Or any opponent for that matter. And I have to say, its alot better attitude to see on the field, then Jeter tapping Sox guys on the butt or any Yankee pitcher than doesnt throw at opposing players after the Yanks get plunked time and time again. Most of the Yankees need to learn some swagger and fight from the Cisco Kid. Amen.

I’m not too into these games right now but I gotta say, if Carl Crawford gets another hit off CC or Boone Logan I may throw the remote through the TV.

===================
Tell your Dad to report the peacekeeper named Tar…
when the yankees scored 22 runs Tex was the only one without a hit LOL
Vineyard Yankee DO YOU EVEN HAVE A CLUE? drob can’t pitch every night! hr needed it off end of story now crawl back in your noob hole you no nothing fool.
Stepped out for the 7th, what was the “Onfield Delay”? Was it about Cervelli’s HBP?
Boone did a good job striking out those two guys. Glad to see it happen to someone other than us.
sdjohn,
and singleton would still defend him
‘they need to win this game’.
=================
No kidding ? Is that a new revelation ?
It would be nice if Kay told us who was up in the pen.
“Boone Logan continues to prove he is a waste”
************
Uh huh. He’s only 2-0 in his last ten games with a 0.00 ERA and ten strike outs.
crawl back in your noob hole
====================
noob hole?
How many retired Yanks do you know that live in Lutz, FL or the Tampa Bay area?
Sori’s up
another pop up?
booner dude. the big lebowski digs you dude. jeff bridges digs to to man.
If the game gets out of reach I GUARANTEE another Yankee gets plunked for Boone’s fist pump. And if it does not happen tonight, it will for sure happen with an early batter tomorrow. Both benches will get warned AFTER a Yankee gets beaned and the Punk Sox will get another freebie, those jackwagons !

how many saves does Mo have now?
Does anyone make more obvious comments than Kay?
Tar pickin on a kid with no MOM….Pathetic.
Tex’s new name should be Anti-clutch .. I honestly don’t remember a single game where he was clutch in the last 2 seasons.. this year it seems he homers when we already have the game in the bag or solo shot to go 1 for 5 .. how many multi hit games has Tex had this year.. what’s his RISP?
Does anyone make more obvious comments than Kay?

I hear ‘seconds’ are plentiful.
I never thought I would say this, but now is a time I miss Crazy ass Kyle Farnsworth. Bring him in to chuck that 99 mph heater into someones ass, with two outs and nobody on of course.
Wang, that was an obvious comment you just made…LOL..
and there is idiot Kay to mention their fake sellouts streak. They sell a percentage of their tickets to a 3rd party dealer. So the games are technically sold out because the 3d party dealer buys many of the tickets. Very few games are actually sold out, especially late in 2010 when the Red Sox were done
Good man, Robbie! Really nice AB there.
I love this blog!

I knew Leiter was pitching that game as soon as Wang went down.
Farnsworth or Joba
Big deal, the sardine can sells out!!
Mick, I may be 15 but I am pretty sure that I’d do to you what happened the Giants fan in LA.
you’re a real piece of work, hope that makes you smile and you lose your mother one day. Maybe, you’ll realize what loser you are.
thats a very good piece of hitting from Cano, he is awesome

Farnsworth. Nobody spears a charging better than Crazy Kyle… He may have struggled in pinstripes, but that was one strong guy..
Tex is now kissing the .240′s. Isn’t that special.
mick,
You do realize at this point who Jake really is right?
And it’s definitely not Carlo.
DocTodd — I deserved that.
I really hope Betances and Banuelos are those kinds of pitchers who will throw at Red Sox when they need to
Attaboy, Swish!
Another great AB! Patience is paying off right now (knocking on wood).
I like it when Swisher is in the zone.. he’s getting it done that’s for sure.
Swish is on fire!!
Swishalicous
How ’bout that Nick, 3-3 and a walk.
nice piece of hitting by Swish there.
I wonder if Chris Dickerson would have been able to do that after he started platooning with him a few months ago.
I’m telling ya, we go up by 5 runs and someone is going to plunk a Yankee tonight again…FOR SURE
I’d like this version of Swish to show up in the playoffs this year. We usually get the other Swish…

Joe forgoing defense for a lefty-righty move that was never going to be allowed to stand….put the binder away…do not like this move from a defensive standpoint.

In the playoffs we usually get the Swish who tries to hit a five-run HR every time up, swinging out of his shoes….Maybe he should lay off the energy drinks during the postseason….
Fail. Bad move by Joe.
Did not get the run home. sigh
Stupid first pitch swing for Nunez there.. Impatience!
MLB.com has Cervelli on deck AND in the hole….too funny !
I’m not sure I understand hitting Nunez for Chavez, it weakens the team defensively late in the game plus the Sox were going to switch to Albers if he made that move.
Fat Albers
Overmanaging at it’s finest.
What reason could Girardi have for taking out Chavez and putting in Nunez?
Posada up, so no extra runs this inning.
Well on the bright side at least Posada can’t hit into another DP

Great job Nunez. When he doesn’t play everyday his bat is totally useless. I would of let Chavez bat and pinch hit for Posada.
Chavez was 2-3 on the night, Morales stinks, and Chavez is a much better defender.
Dumb move.
8 straight years of 35-100 at that, but the average is brutal.

Vineyard Yankee easy calling names with a keyboard that is spineless when you hide behind a keyboard and make the most stupid noob comments ever
Mick – wtf are u talking about? I never once said I was jake. There is another poster named carlos who may have said that but definitely not me
Remember how the Yankees would seem to score when they saw Farnsworth warming up?
I’m thinking the same about Soriano.
Somehow you know Nunez is going to have to make a crucial play before the game is over….Dumb, dumb move by Joe
Not only did he bring in Nunez (rookie) to hit for a proven big league hitter, he also weakens our defense at 3B. Joe I don’t normally “bash” ya, but your makin it harder and harder to defend your moves…
Mark’s late and close stats are abysmal as well
hahahahahaha
Way to wear it Jorge!
C’mon Frankie, get some revenge!
Why would Girardi want Nunez’s glove in the game over Chavez when it doesn’t have to be?
Girardi always has to overmanage…

If your DAD stopped posting because of insults why do you insult people. ANd don’t give me that others start it first. You have been insulting Yankees and other posters all night. You also said Jeter had an IQ of 5. Did you think Yankee fans would not answer back to such non sense?
Anyway you are a kid , so until you behave I will ignore you.
Don it grazed his uniform so no…
you just know there’s going to be a huge play @ 3rd in the next two innings and do you really trust Nunez in that situation? Over managing at it’s finest tonight
Red Sox pitchers have hit 15 Yankees this year. No other team has hit more than 12 batters of any other team. In other news, this chat is getting way out of hand.
so the teams are warned, Posada is hit by a pitch and NOTHING ? What the hell is the point of the warning ???

I’m pretty certain it would have to actually be intentional, not just inside, maybe near the head or behind him.

absolutely horrible. We might as well have just renewed Giambi’s contract. Well, we do get Tex’s great D.
It’s crazy that we are a day away from September and he is still batting 3rd. If George was alive, I wonder how many times he would have ripped Girardi apart by now.. or fired him.
who is noob?
Joe cost us a run there….hope it doesn’t come back to bite us….
There is a carlo and a carlos. I am the former, I don’t know the later but I believe he is from south or latin america. I don’t think he would be jake and or jacob.

No, wait. +2 for making me chuckle in the midst of all this posturing and chest puffing outing
I get it that Cervelli showed off a bit, but it was really minor. Lackey is as big a POS as Beckett.
A missed opportunity there….
I hope they sing that song forever.
Every time they do it it’s another affirmation of their lameness.
Carlo,
the guy is just looking to stir the hornets nest. It’s pretty obvious that the first letter of his name should begin with a D instead of an M.
Just ignore him and his immaturity.
Throw strikes!!!!
Hey Singleton ya know what’s “too much” is your dumbass stories about when you played for the O’s. We all know you were a switch hitter, we all know you hit 3rd in the lineup at one point, and that you hit leadoff for a bit. We all know your manager was Earl Weaver, and that he was an in your face kinda manager. Do you know how we know Ken? Cuz you tell us at lest 6 or 7 times EVERY damn broadcast, that’s how…
Yogi Mantle,
so now clapping your hands when you cross home plate is showing off?
Mick
You are not a kid. Just an adult that acts like one.
And Dude you are so transparent. I have been getting on WCYF for multiples, But now I think you have him beat. Ride the 4 train Mick.
Papelbon has been fist-pumping and screeching for years. What’s the big deal now that Cisco was a bit over exuberant?
Nice start Soriano you bum
Rafael Soriano wants me to hate him.
Leadoff walk. Very yankees with a lead late in fenwayesque
Soriano not the way to start the inning vs the RedSox….you better not give up any runs.
Cmon Sori….
Lead off walk, sigh.
Sox due for infield single and or lucky bad hop.
Can these pitchers ever pitch a 1,2,3 inning against this team?
we refuse to make this easy..
we all remember Soriano’s meltdown last week.
Soriano-what a head case
He ain’t got it tonight…
Yankee pitchers are afraid of everyone. Just picking the outside corner. This is sickening.
It is amazing how little these broadcasters know about baseball. Alois is concerned with the runner on 1st when the team is up 3 runs with 2 innings. Total focus should be on the batter and recording outs and if one run scores, you hand a 2 run lead to Mo.
I’m going back to my lucky chair. Soriano might need the help!
I know different guys have different demeanors on the mound, but Soriano genuinely looks like he could not care less what happens.
Phew Gardner…
Great catch!
Thank you, Gardy!!!! Ooooooooooeeeeeee!
gardner saves the day….
Great play!
SPEED!!!
thank you Brett that is why I LOVE you
That’s tremendous. Just tremendous.
lucky lucky lucky
Beautiful!!!
Look at that! Crawford in LF for the Yankees.
THAT’S WHY YOU DON’T BENCH BRETT GARDNER.
Brett saves game for the moment.
Great play by Gardner. Girardi might have to get Ayala up, Soriano doesn’t look good at all.
This game is so far from over.
Listen to Singleton, what a shmuck. Crawford is not a good outfielder, and certainly does not compare to the highest rated outfielder this year, Gardner
Can’t say enough how big a putout that is by Gardner.
Great catch.
Man did Gardner just save Soriano from a whole lot of grief. Temporarily perhaps.
Gardner!!! what a catch!!!, hope it gives Soriano a little solace so he can get through this inning unscathed
I’m adding about .8 WAR to my charts for that play alone.

Look at that! Crawford in LF for the Yankees.
———————————————————
Gardner is a better left fielder than Crawford is.
Why even appeal a check swing against a Sox in Boston???
looked like a strike and a committment to swing…

Wow, Soriano is getting hit hard.
I doubt even Hank & Hal like Soriano anymore. Is there a more disliked Yankee?
Soriano looks pretty tapioca.
Okay. They’re noisy outs. But they’re outs. One more, Sori.
Soriano not fooling anybody.

Someone had to replace Pavano…
Every out has been hammered. He better keep the ball down to the smurf.
Better chance of happening? A check swing appeal being called a strike in Boston vs. a Red Sox Player? or Rosie O’Donnell not being a fat pig the rest of her life?
soriano is over throwing…
Is Pedroia wearing his pajama bottoms??
Al Leiter “Short arms”
…crickets…
Atta boy, Sori. Grinded it.
all of you can come down from the bridge…
Did NOT expect that…Nice
had me scared Sori with the lead off walk, but nice comeback
Phew….
Good scary job by Soriano!!
Rivera should be able to handle Ortiz, Crawford and Salttttt-whatever.
Sit down Pedey…HA!
Atta boy, Sori (and the outfield). Now let’s get some insurance runs here!
wasn’t pretty, but Sori got it done!!

Did you completely forget about A.J.?
Lets take this baby to the 9th..ugh.
I block AJ out when things are going well…
AJ by far, most disliked Yankee.. Wait til his start against the Sox. The list could expand.
The Gods of BABIP smile on Soriano. Also goes to show the value of throwing 95 moh strikes.
poor Gardy def in a slump he hit that ball hard…but right at someone
I thought the NESN coverage was not TOO over the top tonight – oh wait I’m watching YES??
Um, take a freakin pitch or something …
Of course Aceves is healthy as a horse and skinny…just like Berkman….figures..
The Gods of BABIP smile on Soriano. Also goes to show the value of throwing 95 moh strikes.

Soriano ambiently absorbs the Yankee batters BABIP
nice 1st pitch swinging by 2 maroons….o for 5 Jeter…FANTASTIC !
4 pitch inning, nice work…
Four pitches.
Well that was a quick half inning.. Come on Mo!!!
The Burnett start Thursday could be epic. I remember when he was a respectable pitcher and I went up to fenway and watched him blow a 6-0 lead vs beckett in the first 3 innings. He may give up 12-15 runs thursday.
Like how Kay is hazing their fans for peacing out.
Well Ah-Save Us didn’t have to work too hard there.
Enter Sandman!
ENTER SANDMAN !
Nice to see Jeter show up for the Sox series..
The sardine can is emptying out…
Let’s go Mo.
The Sox will rub Aceves in our face every game this series. At least it’s in a losing effort.
who did kay say was heading to the exit ramp?
What a play by Bret the jet in that 8th inning….may have kept a rally from getting started. Really didn’t like hitting Nunez for Chavez for the reasons already mentioned…..Girardi has trouble anticipating the opposing managers moves sometimes.
OK somebody tell me why it’s important to take pitches in the 9th inning, with the lead, and nobody on?
Joe West approves.
Mo

——————————————
you’d think with all the years played he’d figure out that he’s batting under .100 when he swings at the first pitch…
Lets go Mo!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jeter hasn’t played in a couple of days….he’s crushed the ball for over a month so lets give him a break.
Why is it always so easy for the Sox to get the Yankees lineup out and the Yankees have to sweat in every inning against them? The Yanks need to be more patient.
Good points, I was living in the moment… AJ > Soriano on the dislike meter
soriano did not look as loose as usual but got the job done.

lmao
Jeter is probably still hurting a bit….Hopefully he’ll bounce back after he’s played a couple of games….
Crap.
Mo…..
Never easy for Mo vs Sox
Here we go with Mo…That pitch was right there to hit.
Christ almighty please just end this.
Straight cutters in fenway.
OH here we go with Mo….
Did they shift? If they had shifted thats an out
Tar, If you’ve ever seen a Sox vs. Yankee game, 3 run lead in the 9th, ain’t much. You should NEVER be out of an inning after 4 pitches. Extend the lead, tack on.
Tar, to try and tack on runs. The objective of baseball is to win. Scoring as many runs as possible increases the likelihood of winning
Ok back to the lucky chair. Come on Mo.
I really can’t stand Ortiz….I hope the Sox refuse to pay him this winter and he goes off and signs a 3 year deal with the A’s or something.
Leiter calling out shtty cutters
why am I biting my nails?
Feels like we’re losing 10-3. We’ll be really lucky if we pull this out.
Sit your ass down Jed
sit down and shut up Lowry…nobody cares
This would be the worst loss in a long time.
Thanks, Ed.
This wouldn’t be a Sox game without one of them crying about a call
ha, good time for ump to expand the zone…..
Generous strike call there…..but we’ll take it. That’s the HOFer extra inch

—————
you really have no clue. Jeter is batting .368 this year and .380 in his career when he puts the 1st pitch in play.
That’s just a little higher than .100 unless there is a new version of mathematics being taught today.
This ump’s k-zone has been crappy all night. Just roll with it, Lowrie.
Poor Lowrie. Mo got the benefit of the doubt a couple of times. Too bad they haven’t done that tonight with the RS pitching staff.
Oh, wait.
Future 1st ballot Hall Of Famer can’t believe the ump had the audacity to call 2 strikes on him = how dare he!
Red Sox are always complaining to the ump….a holes
He owes us a lot more gift calls.
Mariano knows the cutter isn’t working.
Mo is taking what they are giving him.
they arent strikes, but i cannot take announcers whining about it after watching the other team get squeezed all night and saying nothing about it.
Why aren’t the Sox pinch running for Fatease?
Mo has found his groove. One more now!
Noonie….get away from that popup!
CC got squeezed big time all night. Cutter worked just fine on that one…..sawdust
Glad jeter was paying attention, wasn’t sure if he was still playing grab a$$ with ortiz or not.
Let’s go Mo!!!!!! Get ‘er dun!
TIME TO CLOSE THE DOOR ON THESE DIRT BAGS !!!
The common belief amongst baseball fans is that the Yankees argue every call. Am I right when say the Yankees barely argue calls?
One Mo!
he swung !!!
Anyone else think Nunez was gonna crash into Jeter there?
“Why aren’t the Sox pinch running for Fatease?”
because his run means nothing….it’ll take more than one hit for them to win anyway and if they tied it they’d rather have his bat still in the lineup.
That one cut nicely. Got the bat too fkface so get back in the box with ur limp wrist.
m, because that runner doesnt mean anything.
Saltala swung at that pitch
that was a swing no?
he cannot take first base…
He swung.
BS call
He definitely swung. You have to be kidding me…..
it took Joe this long to get thrown out
they better not give him first base. Bull**** are you kidding me. He def swung. Wow this is the worse biased game I have ever seen.
Dam ump
Bullish-t call there!
I absolutely hate Cervelli behind home plate, he shouldn’t be jumping in the air as Mo is in his delivery-just put the glove where you want it, Mo doesn’t need any help.
He swung….good to see Girardi flip out for once.
How is that not a swing.????
of course…
What’s with the umps on that call?
The only reason he got hit is because he swung like a doofus
Another check swing not called by the third base ump
Okay, I get it.
But I’d get the run now and worry about extra innings later.
WOW on the replay its SO obvious what are these umps doing.
I hope he broke his wrist……why u ask? Because I don’t give a sht about him. Fk em.
Horrible horrible call.
where does MLB get the umps?
MO is gonna get tossed now, right ?
he did swing…
wow yet another bad call against the yankees at fenway….. shocker.
umps keep getting worse every year and mlb does NOTHING
Clearly a swing on the replays.. Should be 2 strikes on him!
Russia vs US in Olympic basketball
he swung, so he shouldn’t be on first base!!, this play could really impact the game, damn!!!
It’s unreal how the Sox get every single call. In 10 years we will hear how much they paid every umpiring crew. It’s a little too obvious at this point.
Anything inner half here, should be second guessed…
joe won’t contest the game either
Ball game over. Theee Yankees win!!! Theee Yankees win!!!
MG,
I agree. Montero should catch CC
Good win.
Woo hoo!!!!!!!!
YES!!!! FU Red Sox
HA!
Worst umpiring for a big series as i have seen.. Nice catch Gardy!!! Yankees win!!!!!
Yankees beat the Sox AND the third base umpire!
YAY! it wasn’t pretty but it’s a W
god these game makes me hate the RedSox more…ridiculous. Anyways glad the Yanks won despite all the craziness in this game.
Wow what a game!
Go straight to hell Sux!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Real BS call by the umpire. , despite the umpires best efforts of trying to give the game to the Sux, the Sux came up short.
wow MO really did not look that good tonight at all.. but he got the save and CC got the W over teh redsox finally ! And as usual Tex did not get a hit.
SCREW the Red Sox and Screw the UMPS too….GAME OVER, ICEHOLES !
Eff the umps, and the crybaby pussssy Sox…
U can put that one on the left side or ur can ram it down ortiz throat, whatever u like. Split the next two is all we need. Hey, maybe rodriguez will play again sometime this year.
Holla.

____
yup
We beat Lackey. We’re supposed to beat him. I want to see Beckett and Lester beaten!
Good thing this is a kiddie park otherwise that could of fell in. Good job by Mo considering his cutter wasn’t cutting.
That third base ump needs to be reviewed for his performance tonight – thank god he won’t be behind the plate this series
blake August 30th, 2011 at 11:11 pm
MG,
I agree. Montero should catch CC
————-
I know Cervelli went yard tonight but I just hate the way he catches a game, just put the glove down and receive the ball and let the umpire call the pitch. All this moving does is take strike calls away from the pitcher.
BIG BIG WIN!
game oveer !!!!
CC + some fight tonite = a win. Great to see some Yankee toughness tonite. They’ve been rolling over to the Sox all friggin year. Until tonite.
Whew…………
And that was “supposed” to be the easy game
Like I said, watching this game reminds me of how the refs screwed the US vs the Russians in the Olympic basketball game.
That 3rd base ump Wegner wants to be the star of the show, like Joe West and others. He made an ass of himself tonight.
Everytime the Yankees appealed a check swing at third, you could visualize Sweet Caroline being hummed in that moron’s head as he gave the safe sign.
I want to see Montero in the lineup as DH this Thursday, smacking balls off of the green montsta and Lesta.
“I agree. Montero should catch CC”
People say some really wacked-out things on this board, but this has got to be one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen. Now is NOT the time to try something like this.
