CC Sabathia finally beat the Red Sox. Laboring through a high pitch count, and navigating through plenty of runners on base, the Yankees ace got huge outs when he needed them and helped the Yankees to a 5-2 win in their series opener at Fenway. He matched a season-high with 10 hits allowed, but also struck out 10, including Adrian Gonzalez three times. Eric Chavez had two RBI singles, Robinson Cano had an RBI double and Francisco Cervelli hit a solo home run over the Monster in left field. When Cervelli was hit by a pitch the next time up, the benches cleared, and when the dust settled, the Yankees were a half game out of first place.

Hear, hear
holla.
Long Live the Yankees ! May the RedSux CRASH and BURN !!! LOL
great picture of those two. would have loved to see cervelli just lay him out
CC wins, Mo closes it at Fenway….wasn’t pretty but it was a W. CC worked hard for that one….10 K’s is nice. Logan was huge in this game….he may have saved it
Where are the idiots who claimed the Sox were “pulling away” and “separating”?
CC owned Gonzalez and that probably made as big a difference in the outcome as anything…..
Seeing that picture further cements my hope that mariano broke saltalamachias wrist.
It’s a moot point now, but I was noticing the facial expression and the body language of the ump when Joe G was in his face. I don’t think he felt at all confident about the call. But of course he’s going to save face and stick with it.
Yankees win!
Great win!!! LoHud gumbo party at Tar’s house!
Great job by the bullpen tonight.
Douchebag of the game nominees:
1) HP Ump
2) Lackey
3) HP Ump
Great job by CC gutting it out for 6 innings. Great job by Cervelli tonight, too.
Whew………
Wegner should get a suspension for what he did. He instigated that with Girardi, on top of the bad call. Of course, nothing will happen to that POS umpire, though, because Selig is braindead to the problem that umpires think they should make the game about themselves.
Postgame on YES?
Red Sox standard for brawl: catchers must always keep their protective equipment on.
all these complaints about Teix meanwhile Gonzalez went 0-5 with 3 K’s and left a bunch of runners on base.
Teix is probably the last guy to be satisfied with his season, plays his ass off every game even when hurt, saves a ton of runs on defense, knocks in 100+ every year and if you read this blog he’s the second coming of Steve Balboni.
Well maybe they woke up a sleeping Giant.
Thanks, Cervy and Joe.
Rothschild gave em a piece of his mind too.
Would have liked for Joe to kick his hat…

************
Joe definitely is an amateur. He needs to work on his Martin/Pinella field goal dirt kick.
m,
it’s a tie between the ump and lackey, he was waiting to strike, fortunately it ended up hurting him…..
Logan made the biggest pitch of the night…I am exhausted, this games really drain you out wow!!
m, it was the third base umpire, Wegner who made the wrong call on Salty swinging/HBP, and on top of it, Girardi threw up his arms, turned his back and Wegner was jawing at Girardi.
Wegner incited it on top of apparently not knowing the rules of baseball.
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.

Comes from a long line of Nancy boys.
Sabathia only won this game because he read the demands by WCDB that he “man up” tonight.
How else can this be explained?
Yogi,
I thought about nominating the 3B umpire, but the strikezone was ridiculous for CC. A lot of stuff wasn’t even close. And how can he not award Granderson 1B? :steam:

Good thing Cervelli stood up for himself since no one else on this team will. Hopefully they can smack around Buckett tomorrow and Thursday’s game will be over before it even starts.

Told ya’!
AJ will throw a no hitter on Thursday so Girardi and Cashman can claim for the next two years that AJ simply has an August problem. Like Tex struggles in April for whatever reason AJ struggles in August. We have faith in him and will continue to try figure out what the issue with August is.
I wonder why CC hasn’t used his CU on the RS. Every game this season he has been just using the slider and fastball.
Cervelli: “I’m not a problematic guy”
Pretty funny that the last 3 Yankee HRs vs Boston are Cervelli, Gardner, and Nunez.
LGY, I hope AJ does throw a no hitter on Thursday… as I am going to the game with a couple of my friends. Sitting behind HP.
Typical Yankees-Red Sox game, almost 4 hours long.
With Beckett taking almost a minute between pitches these days, tomorrow’s will likely last close to 5.
Nice to get a series opener especially against the Sox.
Thanks to those that answered me on the last thread.
“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”
I guess where we see things differently is….
Working the count is always a good thing, But getting a good pitch to hit, and driving it is even better.
In that situation I am looking for a hit not a walk. Work the count in your favor if you can, but if you see a pitch you like, take a hack at it.
Different situations should have different priorities, but in the 9th with the lead and nobody on I say go for the hit.
CC gutted it out tonite..didn’t have great stuff but got outs when he had to.
Big game.
I can’t even tip to the Boston offense tonight. They were given so many gift calls. It was nothing close to a level playing field.
Kudos to the Yankees for keeping their cool. That’s the kind of stupid stuff they deal with all the time.
CC did look pretty hot about the POS Lackey hitting Cervelli.
I really like that about CC. Next game watch CC hit Ortiz again. That was priceless.
mick August 30th, 2011 at 11:17 pm

================

Agreed, yet those kids wouldn’t know balboni from balogne. Tex is worth the money and more. He has produced way more then any first baseman with the glove and the bat since the Yanks runs in the 90′s. Anyone who thinks otherwise, is likely a sox fan enamored with Adrian ofer gonzo.
After AJ’s no hitter on Thursday Kay will repeat ad nauseum that AJ still has great stuff.
Agreed m. Tonight the strike zone was…. interesting.
Ed Randall doesn’t like Cervelli’s clap.
This coming from a man that used to wear plaid sport coats.
good win!!
Finally CC got a win vs. Sux, though he had to throw a low.
Can they got one more win?
LGY August 30th, 2011 at 11:26 pm
After AJ?s no hitter on Thursday Kay will repeat ad nauseum that AJ still has great stuff
______________
He will repeat that ad nauseum after AJ gives up 12 runs, as well.
I think Cervy’s clap woke this team up against Boston.
Why isn’t Beckett given a warning about taking so long between pitches?
Yogi,
It wasn’t just the zone. The check swings, not HBP. But yeah, the zone was …interesting….as you say.
Maybe there is some truth to the “it’s tough to get a called strike in Fenway” story. The crowd sounded like an angry mob on Jorge’s HBP.
Look, any objective and knowledgeable baseball fan knows that Cervelli was wrong to clap in the catcher’s face. Jeter will tell him just that.
I don’t know if you noticed, but the adjustment Mariano did has been incredible, every batter was geared to hit the inside cutter, but he went to the outside corner instead, keeping the batters off balance….
Tarheel I agree I think that ump knew he made the wrong call.
I think we have a winner with the above picture and Jerk’s caption.
Yogi Mantle August 30th, 2011 at 11:28 pm

someone should really ask MLB about this.
I am an often reader of this blog since Pete ran it, yet never really comment. But I have to say this blog is great to read. Thanks for the read everyone, even the jack$$$$ who really don’t know anything and just try to stir stuff up!
The Yanks have to recheck their scouting reports on Crawford. Especially CC and Logan. The guy stinks against everyone else and has owned the Yanks.
Look, any objective and knowledgeable baseball fan knows that Cervelli was wrong to clap in the catcher’s face. Jeter will tell him just that.
–
Almost every player in the game does some form of clapping or celebration upon hitting a HR and crossing the plate. I doubt Jeter would tell him anything other than ‘Good job.’
LGY,
By “no hitter” . Are you predicting that AJ will not hit a batter or actually not give up a hit? …..for the whole game?
Girardi doesn’t seem to be loving this Presser, he is pissed. As he should be.
Jerkface, your name is perfect!
AJ’s no hitter? More like AJ’s no out-er. Im disgusted they’re still throwing this bum out there.
I didn’t like the clap either, but the only reason why it was in Salty’s face is because Salty was practically on top of the plate.
YankeesInk Jerome Preisler
Ortiz flips his bat. Manny Ramirez used to wiggle his fingers at pitchers. Papelbon has his masturbatory fistpump. No prob w/Cervelli.
AMEN – too bad not one other member of the media would dare take that stance
Buster_ESPN
Add this line to the book of unwritten baseball rules: NOT ALLOWED TO CLAP HAPPILY AT HOME PLATE AFTER HOME RUN, IN FRONT OF CATCHER.
Cisco is just feisty. Although it doesn’t look good, he just didn’t look and clap in salty’s face. I like it, even though that is something I would yell at my kids for. They are grown men.
Really didn’t see anything wrong with what Cervelli did….he plays that way and that should be known by know. Lackey is a punk

As usual you are wrong. You can read a stat book but have no clue as to what the game is about. Very sad.
blake,
LOL!
Don’t worry. Even if AJ throws a no hitter he will walk 12 and Girardi will keep him in the game just long enough to lose.
In baseball when you win you literally high five and ass pat your entire team on the other team’s field, and give no craps about the other team.
‘he swings because he got hit’?
LOL, what can you say?
Blake,
He might get the no hitter because he might bean every batter he faces until he is thrown out of the game
blake August 30th, 2011 at 11:33 pm

Lackey is a punk. But you don’t clap your hands in the catchers face.
PeteAbe
Cervelli pumped his fist like crazy when McDonald struck out. Shockingly, Lackey hitting him didn’t change how he has been for 4 years
Please keep us updated with the presser
CC and Cervelli would have fit in well with the 90′s teams. If we had more of them on this team this crap wouldn’t continue to go on. The Rays stopped taking Boston’s crap a few years ago. If it takes a couple of brawls so be it
Cervelli was excited and clapped his hands, give me a break he did nothing wrong. Ortiz should of been drilled when he flipped his bat a couple of times and really showed the Yanks up. Once again the Sox can do whatever they want because they know that the Yanks don’t defend themselves.
AJ doesnt have the balls to hit anyone. He had his chance numerous times after the Yanks got plunked by the Sox. He did squat…CC was/is the only guy that has the balls.
Nick Swisher fore-arm bashes Mick Kelleher infront of the 1st baseman after every HR. No respect!
I am an often reader of this blog since Pete ran it, yet never really comment. But I have to say this blog is great to read. Thanks for the read everyone, even the jack$$$$ who really don’t know anything and just try to stir stuff up!
=======================
Tar is just confused, he means well.
Captain Clutch
+ 1
I’m sure this is AJ’s last start – they’re going to go to a 5 man rotation after this series, so fans won’t have him to kick around anymore, lol. I just want Colon, Nova, CC AND Garcia to have a regular routine – in particular CC. sure he got the job done but we need him to be dominant if the team is going to go deep in the playoffs
August 2013…..Girardi and Cash will be talking about that 12 walk no hitter AJ threw on Sept 1 2011…..and how his stuff means he can get on a roll at any time when August is over
I’m sure this is AJ’s last start
================
Disagree.
Phil would be the best option in the pen.
Mick
You are hitting below the Mendoza line, but occasionally you still run into one.
Lackey is a punk. But you don’t clap your hands in the catchers face.”
He clapped his hands in front of his own face…didn’t seem as though it was directed at anyone….he was just excited.
Shockingly, Lackey hitting him didn’t change how he has been for 4 years
———–
I am shocked that Peteabe didn’t blame Lackey hitting Cervelli on Arod.
Why should Cervelli change because Lackey who stinks doesn’t like when guys hit homeruns against him? Give me a break. Pete go eat another cheese burger.
damn, 1 more win and the series!
You can clap in front of the 1B, 2B, SS, and 3B after a HR.
However, you cannot clap in front of the catcher.
/John Lackey/WCYF’d logic
(I am diligently searching the archives of the Unwritten Rules of Baseball to try to find if you are allowed to clap in the direction of an OF)
Burnett has thrown at several hitters in retaliation.
The problem is that you can’t tell which ones are intentional and which are not because he leads the world in hitting batters.
Tar, if we had a truce, wouldn’t it be boring?
Sox always looking for the edge , they are a dirty bunch of crybabies.
Hughes won’t throw at them but you can almost bank on Burnett
Please, could someone inform those who can’t watch the presser what does Girardi says and sabathia
http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play......d=18466221
Now imagine I posted as many links as there were ortiz HRs. Not only does he rudely praise God (as if God would favor him over any other potentially equally pious player) but he then does a HUGE clap! IN THE CATCHERS FACE!!
Omfg
Well, if you want to be a total homer and not an objective and intelligent baseball fan go right ahead. Here is the reality:
Singleton, Leiter and Curry all said in no uncertain terms that what Cervelli did was wrong and that they understood why he was thrown at.
Curry also pointed out when the rookie hit one in the upper deck at Yankee stadium the other day he put his head down and ran the bases.
You don’t show someone up that way.
Appeal to authority. Also Kay later stated he didnt say Cervelli should be plunked, only that it was the reason he was plunked.
http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play......d=17482517
Adrian Gonzalez high fiving right in the catchers face. How rude!
Red Sox might be the blackest pots in the pantry, but I guess its ok because they’re black.
Rule 6.0.1
(a) After a HR, clapping is permitted anytime the ball leaves the bat up until the mid way point between 3B and HP subject to the exceptions of 6.0.1(c)
(b) If you violate 6.0.1(a) the punishment is to be expected from moleface pitchers.
(c)(1) Walk off HRs are excepted from 6.0.1
(c)(2) David Ortiz is excepted from 6.0.1 and media criticism of his post HR actions are expressly prohibited
Not an appeal to authority – an example of what respected baseball professionals who played the game for decades like Singleton and Leiter – think as opposed to you Jerkface who is a blowhard who knows absolutely nothing.
WCYF,
Yet what Ortiz does is ok with Singleton and Leiter because they never say crap about it
I hope Hughes plunks someone as well
Cervelli doesn’t have to explain himself and he shouldn’t. If Ortiz can show off like he is the greatest thing ever after hitting a homerun then Cervelli can clap his hands.
Cervy is starting to hit…he feels Jesus breathing down his neck.
Oh please.. these guys today stand at the plate and stare the ball out and do all sorts of little trots and gimmicks when they reach the plate. Cervelli did nothing out of the ordinary. They don’t like it? Then tell Ortiz to put his head down and run like granderson around the bases.

WCYF,

**************
Believe it or not, what Cervelli did has nothing to do with what Ortiz did or does. Zero.
I’m glad he clapped…
Compared to the NBA and NFL baseball is tennis..
Not an appeal to authority
–
Thats exactly what it is. In light of repeated examples of other players doing similar or worse, you resort to the broadcasted opinions from the heat of the moment. Cervelli is obviously a baseball player, he had no problem with what he did, he knows the rules. Maybe the rules have changed.
WCYF,
It sure does when you bring up ex players who seem to be selective in what they deem to be appropriate.
WCDB calling anyone a “blowhard” is quite amusing.
Believe it or not, what Cervelli did has nothing to do with what Ortiz did or does. Zero.
–
Lackey is a punk. But you don’t clap your hands in the catchers face.

Obviously it does. One person is yelled at for it. The other is praised. Its a double standard.
Yes Cervelli did do something out of the ordinary, he clapped right in the catcher’s face when crossing the plate, he showed up the pitcher and the catcher. You do not do that. If Pedroia did that in Martin’s face at the Stadium with Sabathia on the mound, do you really think the Yankees would have no problem with it. Please!
mick,
yeah, because cervi scored after being plunked which is the best punishment
In your face boston, you don’t like it , hit us….it’s about effin time.
“Tar, if we had a truce, wouldn’t it be boring?’”
Is there a war? All this time I thought it was me, just asking you, to be respectful and stop instigating trouble. I am peaceful, I like to laugh, I do not like war.
So I guess the answer is no.

Ortiz does it every HR. He clapped his hands upon touching home plate. Many players do this.
Ledger_Yankees Somebody asked Rothschild if he said a bad word. He said “no, more than one.”
———–
LOL
The Yankees prob would do nothing considering it took them 8 years to finally plunk Ortiz
Lackey hitting Cervelli had nothing to do with the clap, he was simply upset that a backup catcher hit a bomb off of him and decided next time up to drill him because he was angry. He is a moron, whose selfish act cost his team a huge run at a critical time.
Yanks are pissed and they arent gonna take it anymore.
They needed the clap.

*************
You are not a very bright person Jerkface and it is impossible to have a linear and logical conversation with you.
Cervelli is a young and overly enthusiastic player and you are wrong. He said in the post game he got excited and didn’t mean to show anyone up and if he did he would apologize.
Further clarification for anyone wondering.
The corresponding notes to Rule 6.0.1 explain that teammates are permitted to clap as they approach home plate to congratulate the HR hitter even if the opposing catcher is in the direct vicinity.
sorry tar i don’t trust you as you were the instigator tonite
I personally don’t mind breaking the rules and love that Lackey was shown up. I am also clear that it will get you plunked and why.
and tar there will always be instigators what youre looking for is nirvana forget it besides you love it
who cares if he got plunked, we won, bottom line his run scored they lose eff them
He said in the post game he got excited and didn’t mean to show anyone up and if he did he would apologize.
–
Exactly, he did not show anyone up and if they felt that way, as a polite person, he would apologize, but I bet he claps again. The clap is not wrong, Cervelli is only sorry that the red sox felt that way.
WCYF,
Was Posada wrong for clapping in the second baseman’s face after his hit off Pedro in 2003 or is it just reserved for home plate?
“Lackey hitting Cervelli had nothing to do with the clap, he was simply upset that a backup catcher hit a bomb off of him and decided next time up to drill him because he was angry”
I think this is closer to the truth than clapping.
he got excited and didn’t mean to show anyone up and if he did he would apologize.
===================
talk is cheap, we won, nobody died, ortiz does it every AB…its about time
Anyone who watches baseball has seen hundreds of hand claps, butt slaps, high fives, and more infront of home plate and around the bases. And I bet less than 1% of those players were hit.
all of a sudden boston is some pristine china doll with etiquette?
they don’t write the rules…they are dirtbags
Cervelli yelling at Salty above will be my new wallpaper. Thats how I’ve felt all year…
Great win – subject is exhausted.

Albert Pujols clapping right in the catchers face. What a crime!
Mountains of evidence against!
Any true Jeter fan, like myself, knows that he does a single hand clap after nearly every clean single RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE 1B!!
Is he showing up the opponent?
beckett will plunk someone tmw…what’s his excuse
maybe he just feels like it…
Good night everyone…..good win, maybe this is the start of a roll and finally we crush the hated red sux
The Texas Rangers do that stupid claw and antler thing.
The media praises them for team bonding. What about showing up their opponent?
boston looks for crap to get worked up about
tonite it backfired
that runner scored
end of story
JF,
That was Cervelli’s problem. He didn’t give a shout out to God before he clapped his hands

————————————————————————————————————————-
Not sure why one more home run off of Lackluster would bother him. He’s had plenty of practice watching balls fly out of the park on his pitches.
tar called me 4 train
say you’re sorry tar
or I’ll hit you.
Has Lackey washed the sand out yet?
Ortiz hits 2 homeruns against the Yanks and each time he stands there and admires it and then flips his bat…
Cervelli hits a homerun and claps his hands…
Cervelli should definitely appologize. How dare he get excited after a homerun and do something to upset that dirt bag Sox team.
Cry me a river….
Lackey did it on purpose and he was stupid for it as led to a run. He is also a punk like Beckett.
Did Cervelli deserve to get hit no, BUT…
Being honest he is over the top with his fist pumps and his celebrations. I know It’s not an act and I don’t he can help it, but I can see how other teams would not like it.
Who cares? I like when the Yankees show some fight, enthusiasm, some brashness for a change. The Sox pull similar stuff and we get to hear how gritty they are. The Yankees never hit their guys and finally plunk Ortiz. He goes nuts with the media and everything else. Who cares? If they don’t like it than just beat us tomorrow. A bunch of babies these tough Sox players are. Beckett, Lackey, Paps, all the same. Act like tough guys and are all just toolbags.
I would like to clap WCYF right in his face. Now that would be rude!
Lackey hit Granderson even though the HP ump did not rule it a HBP, and Granbderson is very fortunate it was not more damaging than it was. This is Red Sox SP’ers SOP, hitting one of the Yankees or other teams top hitters in the early innings, especially in the first game of a series where you can put the hitter out for the series.
CC plunking Ellsbury was surely to retaliate for this non-HBP and set the tone.
I don’t see Cervelli did anymore than many hitters who have hit a HR. He promptly ran the bases and did not admire the HR. I never knew celebrating once you reached homeplate was not allowed. That 1 HR turned into 2 runs thanks to Lackeys lack of self control.
Look for Beckett to drill someone early tommorow to get in first licks. Umps will then warn both benches. Whoever gets hit should charge the mound. Been too long since there was a meaningful bench clearing brawl between these 2 teams, and getting Beckett out of the game early could help change what looks to be a sure L unless Hughes surprises me.

You and what army punkalicious. Meet you in the parking lot and don’t forget to wear your pink panties.
The last thing the Yanks should do is apologize to these guys.
They have been gentile for too long as has Girardi.
Get the killer instinct back and retaliate when Beckett throws at them and makes it look like an accident.
If it means a brawl, so be it.
They think they own us.
It’s time to change the culture.
Mo is truly the Greatest, who else could retaliate against Saltalamacchia with a strike! Even if he didn’t get the call, it was enough of a distraction to avoid getting tossed.
umbrelladoc
You’re right!
I forgot about that. I was watching NESN and they said he just got tossed. I though they were talking about Mo, before I realized it was Joe.
Good Night all!
good win
Good night Tar!! Great posts tonight!!
You think Lackey didn’t like it because it was in Salty’s face? He probably blames Salty for the HR. Lackey’s one of the biggest crybabies in baseball.
Cervelli asked about his emotions on the field, he simply said, “that’s Cervelli.”
I have less problem with him clapping than him going third person.
lackey is a dick. cervelli is emotional all the time, he hit his 2nd homerun of the season.
lackey thinks he is a real tough guy…
btw lackey sucks. he is not aj burnett bad but in the discussion…
“Sabathia finally beats the Red Sox” is the link at espn.com.
Watching the video, I’m glad Cervelli took a step out towards the mound. You hit a batter because you made a mistake to the #9 hitter and can’t take it like a man that’s pretty weak.

BostonDirtDogs: Francisco Cervelli… The Yankee Clapper
I’d love some Yankee fan to go to Fenway with a sign with two sets of numbers on it. On the left side is the #of Yankee hitters hit by Boston pitching and vice versa on the right side. Right on the side line, right where the blind umps can see.
Montero?….
———–
Russell Martin didn’t play in part because he banged up his toe and thumb in Baltimore. Joe Girardi said he would have only played Tuesday in an emergency. How about Wednesday?
“We’ll see,” Girardi said.
I love when Lackey shows up his fielder when he doesn’t make a play that he thought he should have made. He did it tonight to I believe Crawford..Great stuff from an emotional nut job.
Let’s see, according to the worst play by play man in the business( Michael Kay) it’s no good for Cervelli to step on home plate & clap his hands together one time, but not a word about Big Poopie er I mean Big Juicer er I mean Ortiz to flip his bat at home plate & point his finger. So in the world of Kay only Yankees have to live by his code of conduct, please. When he’s on with his butt boy former Met Al Lightweight it’s a butt kissing circus between the 2 of them.
f— the redsox. its ok when ortiz flips his bat or when papelbon does his fistpump. its ok when boston does this and when the yankees get exicted they do not like it . f— boston.maybe we should start talking about ortiz juicing up again.lackey is a douch bag.i know his wife is sick,but he is a a– hole,big time.nothing might happen tonight but thursday is the day when i thing there will be another blowup.burnett can make a lot of frields on the yankees if he plunks some people.
I guess it was just the advantage of the home court, but still all this can be forgotten since we won. nothing is better than winning ! I hope this will happen in tonight’s game as well !
