Took a friend to the airport very early this morning, and there were so many roads closed because of flooding that it took two and a half hours for me to get back home. Of course, I really can’t complain about anything the rest of the year after missing last night’s game. Here is the press release with details on the exchange policy for last night’s tickets.
Recognizing (Tuesday’s) inclement weather conditions, the New York Yankees announced that they are rewarding all fans with tickets for (Tuesday’s) game against the Baltimore Orioles with a free ticket offer.
Fans may redeem their valid September 6, 2011, tickets — regardless of whether they were used to attend (Tuesday’s) game — for a free Grandstand Level or Terrace Level ticket at Yankee Stadium for a game for the 2012 season, subject to availability.
Alternatively, fans may choose to use (Tuesday’s) valid tickets as a coupon for 50 percent off the purchase price of a ticket in any other non-Suite seating location to a game for the 2012 season, subject to availability.
This free ticket and coupon offer is not valid for and cannot be redeemed for premium games (such as the Opening Day game, the Old-Timers’ Day game and all home games played against the Boston Red Sox and New York Mets).
Please note that the Yankees can only accept tickets with valid bar codes for the September 6, 2011, game.
Tickets can be redeemed or presented as a coupon at Yankee Stadium Ticket Windows only starting April 2, 2012.
looks like a slip and slide…
That’s cool re: tickets
It must have been miserable playing on that field last night.
welcome back Chad
How sweep it is!

It totally does
Mop walk time.
It’s about time Chad returned. Child services will be all over him for leaving us in the care of strangers.
GB,
Tex has 5 years left on his deal……Montero could play 1B at age 26
I guess it has been awhile since I looked at the standings. I didn’t realize so many teams were eliminated already.

Blake, that would make it about right. That would put Sanchez around 23-24 years old.
My guess is they put the B lineup out there today
C Martin
1B Swisher
2B Nunez
3B Rodriguez
SS Pena
LF Jones
CF Granderson
RF Dickerson
DH Montero
maybe Chad’s not “officially” back yet:
bheyman99 Breaking news: I’m back at Yankee Stadium after 3 1/2 hours of sleep. Little tired but still planning to go nine if the weather cooperates.
YankeesWeather Gates are expected to open on time at 11am. Updated information about the game will be posted when available.
ah well Chad’s name is listed at the top.

C Martin
1B Swisher
2B Nunez
3B Rodriguez
SS Pena

———————-
Laird can play 1B right? And Golson for Grandy
If that team can win W/ AJ on the mound the Orioles should be sent down to the Mexican League.

kate-I know.
all I meant was that it looks like Heyman is covering the game today
Why not go full B squad?
C) Cervelli
1B) Posada
2B) Pena
3B) Laird
SS) Nunez
LF) Jones
CF) Golson
RF) Dickerson
DH) Montero
DRob30 I totally get what Yogi was saying… This is like deja vu all over again. Back to Yankee Stadium!
Am out of town and didn’t see the game last night. Just saw the highlights on ESPN-500 people were left at the Stadium!!!!
Time to put some ditance between us and the RS. RS have Wakefield and Miller going against Morrow and Romero, and then Lackey and Wieland and the infamous TBD against the Rays Wade, Hellickson and Shields.
If the Yankees are able to add Montero to the post-season roster while keeping Posada and Cervelli, are they more likely to go with 11 rather than 12 pitchers for the 1st round?
hey now! this is beginning to look suspiciously like a little game we use to play around here a long time ago….
Everybody knows you never do a full retard.
I think the Yankees can prove Lazarus wrong today
Ys
long ago in a galaxy far far away?
with beckett on the shelf this time around and bedard shelved (now THERE’S a shocker…) the socks end up going the next 9 games with only 1 lester start and the rest by lackey,wake, and down the list from there.
For those that jumped ll ove Posada last night on the tagout at first, the umpires screwed it up. In order for Posada to be determined to be making an ayyempt to go to 2nd base, he would have had to cross the foul line first. He didn’t. He could have turned cartwheels and done backflips if he wanted to as long as he was in foul territory.
I’m kinda hoping the game gets delayed today.. maybe if it does I’ll actually be able to see some of it
I think that they’d better be checking on GTLU copyright infringements before continuing.

*************************
oooh…that’s a good idea.
Do we need to do our rain dance again? IIRC, it worked last time.
thanks gb, i was wondering about that but i accepted what kenny and flash were saying that any attempt is all it takes. posada was obviously making your point, actually running over and pointing to the spot in foul ground.
btw, the highlight of this morning’s game for me was po steaming around third base and scoring on cervellie’s double….good stuff jorge!
an ***ayyempt*** to go to 2nd base,
attempt
Ys, players turn to the foul line all the time, or basically run a loop pattern, the only reason Posada was so far in foul territory to begin with was that the pitcher ran into him. Makes no difference now, but, the umpires were letting a few things go just to get the game over with. I guess they don’t get overtime pay.
Actually not raining and doesn’t look quite as menacing this morning on the Jersey Shore, about 40 miles south of the city….They will get this game in for sure and probably won’t have to play in a monsoon like last night.
The Red Sox are going to have to slug their way to victories with that bunch pitching. Here’s to hoping the greatest offense in history gets shut down a few more times.

I wonder how many players brought their bags for the road trip with them and spent the night in the clubhouse?

(In my best Australian accent): “Well that’s a complete dramatization of course, but, you get the idea”.
I suppose if Jorge could do that, they would give him two RBI just for putting on a good show.

A Derek Jeter hosted sleep-over. Just like old times.
its september and very likely the last few weeks in the yankees career of jorge posada.
to date: 4 rings 6 al championships 274 homers and over a thousand ribbies.
product of the system, lifetime yankee and another in the long line of great catchers to wear the pinstripes.
i’d like to see the ride go on for another 8 weeks or so…
GB,
Have you seen Sanchez play much? I know be struggled defensively this year but Im assuming the struggles are correctable things …..most reports I’ve read suggest that’s he’s got a chance to.catch long term….what you think?
“its september and very likely the last few weeks in the yankees career of jorge posada.”
HoF career in my book…..been a pleasure watching him.
Rule 7.08(j)
He fails to return at once to first base after overrunning or oversliding that base. If
he attempts to run to second he is out when tagged. If, after overrunning or
oversliding first base he starts toward the dugout, or toward his position, and fails to
return to first base at once, he is out, on appeal, when he or the base is tagged;
Posada was out.
You women are just scary. No wonder men are losing the war for supremacy. It’s a CIA mind reading thing.

I saw quite a few games of his, but, he needs a lot of work. Great arm but not all that accurate and 25 passed balls is not acceptable. That’s where he really needs the work.
ok there it is, nothing about fair or foul. and he certainly didn’t return to first base at once.
It amazes me how easily accessible the rules are yet no one bothers to look.
Strike that… it doesn’t amaze me at all.
“You women are just scary. No wonder men are losing the war for supremacy.”
I thought it had already been established that until women stop dancing on poles for “exercise” men have won the war of supremacy
What about that JR Murphy kid? Where does he fall on the depth chart?
If he had turned towards foul territory or his dugout, he would have been out? If he turns the other way, he’s out? What’s he supposed to do? Put it in reverse and hope his back-up lights are working? If he crosses the foul line, that’s considered attempting to advance.
when 2 guys with a combined 25 or so major league seasons between them say what the rule is, i dont feel the need to go look it up.
Shame, I don’t think Murphy will stay as a catcher. The bat is real and he has the speed, arm and agility to play other spots. A better defensive version of Jim Leyritz. He’s taking grounders at 1st and 3rd and was supposed to get in some outfield time. They love the bat.
If he crosses the foul line, that’s considered attempting to advance.
False.
Look it’s right there in the rules. Don’t try to fudge it and pretend like you know better than the rulebook.
You have to return immediately to the bag. If you turn towards second (which posada took 2 step towards) you can be tagged out. If you turn to leave the playing field, you can be tagged out. it’s not a great mystery and there is no “fudge factor”.
Posada was clearly out. Being in foul territory has absolutely nothing to do with it. That’s why it’s not written in the rules.
Well… I guess that’s not technically false… because if you cross the foul line you are clearly trying to advance. The point is that crossing the foul line does not determine your intent. Turning towards second does. Doesn’t matter where you are standing when you do it.
Read rule 7.08c
Just saw the play you guys are talking about. clearly Posada saw the ball get loose and thought about (made a slight move) to second base. It took a fraction of a second, but a smart fielder who knows the rules took advantage of that spit second series of thoughts/moves by Posada. It was the right call.
you can turn left or right.
GB7 – Maybe YOU shoudl read rule 7.08(c)
(c) He is tagged, when the ball is alive, while off his base. EXCEPTION: A
batter-runner cannot be tagged out after overrunning or oversliding first base if he
returns immediately to the base;
APPROVED RULING: (1) If the impact of a runner breaks a base loose from its
position, no play can be made on that runner at that base if he had reached the base
safely.
APPROVED RULING: (2) If a base is dislodged from its position during a play,
any following runner on the same play shall be considered as touching or occupying
the base if, in the umpire’s judgment, he touches or occupies the point marked by
the dislodged bag.
Still nothing about the foul line.
The rule is ambiguous but I think Umpires consider the foul line when making those calls…..they look at whether the player crossed the line and whether they clearly comitt to going to 2B……the rule may not mention the foul line…..but I think umpires consider it.
GB,
With Sanchez…..would you say its an ability thing or just an inexperience and lack of polish thing?
AnthonyMcCarron NYY lineup: nunez, martin, swisher, arod, jones, montero, laird, golson, pena, aj. No foolin’
Amazing. 10 fans in the stadium and Cervelli’s HR ball gets interfered with!
Glad they called it in his favor.
Nothing in (c) supercedes (j) where it cearly states If he attempts to run to second he is out when tagged. it also clearly does not mention the word “foul” or “line” once in either rule.
You are only wrong GB7. it’s not the end of the world, but it certainly says alot about your stubborn attitude.
he can turn toward the dugout unless he has first ‘attempted’ to advance (based on his turn toward second base).
but the rulebook is strangely worded. i wonder where the language comes from. it reads kind of like the constitution does, with phrases that can be interpreted in many different ways.
is that the original language ol’ alexander wrote?
If you’re in foul territory…..you can be sure turning left isn’t an attempt to go back to the bag…..it depends on where you are. Its a judgement call by the umpires as to the intent of what the runner is doing.
Cisco needs to hit those HRs just a little bit harder
Can’t be sure I mean
Blake, no, he has the ability…just bad habits and no coaching, other than an occassional visit from the traveling catching instructor.
blake – they consider the foul line because they are lazy and not doing their jobs… much like the guy that called jeter out on a tag play “because the ball beat him there”…
NYY lineup: nunez, martin, swisher, arod, jones, montero, laird, golson, pena, aj.

Why not.
Sweet lineup! Kids day!….lot of RH bats also against the Lefty.

Jones should still bat 8th in that lineup :/
ID,
I don’t think its necessarily lazy that they would use the line as a guide to help judge intent.
Erin, that is an ugly line-up. I feel like I slept through the WS, winter and it’s the first day of ST games and this is Girardi’s line-up.
Thanks GB, I knew they were high on his bat but I wasn’t sure where his D was. The feedback on the defensive abilities of Sanchez and Murphy make me even more curious to see what they do with Romine.
Why don’t the Yanks have catching instructors working with Charleston?
Blake-
Ya’ suppose Jesus will hit 2 more ?
“Unlike many other sports, the Official Baseball Rules have remained largely static during the modern era of the game. This is evidenced in much esoteric or awkward language in the rulebook; also, rules experts such as Chris Jaksa and Rick Roder have identified over 50 outright errors in the book, mostly concerning rare or subtle differences.”
from wiki
Doubt the Oriokes will play all their regulars either….never know though.
Should be a fun game to watch today.
I hope the O’s play most of their starters to make losing to the Yanks B team sting worse.
I don’t wanna jinx it but whenever Uncle Joe puts a line up like that out there… we win.
Blake – From what I gather, the coaching situation in the minors isn’t all that great. If I’m Cashman, thats one of the first things I’m looking to change in order to keep the development train rolling (thats what you ride when you smoke the objective pipe).
Turning toward second makes you out only in Little League.
What did Swish do to be the only one who played last night and this morning?

Really? No foolin’?
That lineup will put a 10 spot on the Orioles….
Wave Your Hat September 7th, 2011 at 11:27 am
Turning toward second makes you out only in Little League.
and every other league, since that is the rule.
WYH-
Turning towards the Sun during a solar eclipse can make you blind.
And that’s in any league.

*****************
LOL
I think I’d rather have this lineup than have guys fall asleep in the middle of an at bat.
“and every other league, since that is the rule.”
Wrong. Go back and read the rule. You can turn left or right as long as you return to first and make no attempt to go to second. You see it all the time.
New Post w/lineup
Well Montero is hitting so I’m happy.
thats REALLY the lineup?
cool!
Shame,
a month or so with Pena and Girardi in Florida with correct Sanchez’ flaws. He has a lot of them, but’ pretty easily correctable. They really do need to fix the minor league coaching issues. Much of the problems with Montero and Romine could have been fixed years ago if they had more than one catching instructor for the system. Butch Wynegar is the first real full time coach that Montero has had. Romine gets him next year.
It really is not that bad of a lineup. It just seems terrible compared to the Yankee regular beastly lineup.
Golson and Pena are the only 2 really weak bats in there and now that I have said that one if not both will go deep today.
this lineup is better than alot they have faced this season.
MTU,
Probably just one today
