Hey it’s long lost Pete Abe on NESN. Suprisingly he isn’t wearing his Gonzalez jersey this time.
Rain delays in B-More tonight ! (?) .
That’s one player for each dollar you owe me, Bret!
AJ (or whoever the 4th starter is) should be left off the roster for the ALDS.
Alex Rodriguez has been scratched

WHAT A SURPRISE .
UnKnown September 28th, 2011 at 6:35 pm
The elf saying in interviews that “It’s fun” is the biggest lie of this year’s baseball season.
I can’t bring myself to believe that having the biggest collapse ever in Baseball history, “Is fun.”
And the SF Giants have just wrapped up their season. As has been known for awhile now there will be a new Champion crowned this year at the end of the PostSeason.
The elf has not comported himself in the least this week to give any indication of fun. In his postgame interviews he has been both tense and terse.
Boo Rays!! Go Yankees!!! Wish I was there to see all these rookies. Hopefully our bats show up and we can win so we don’t go into the playoffs with a 4 game losing streak.
Grrrr, my sportsbook just settled my AJ over 11.5 wins wager as a loser. Do they not know that he can come in and vulture a win tonight????
I hear Santa Claus has booked a flight for the Elf and expects him at the North Pole tomorrow, after his season ends tonight…
Unbelievable…………it’s just not his year. I said when he had the surgery that it was no guarantee that he was going to regain his power – it’s still surgery, even if it was relatively minor.
Tyanks if there is any time in a baseball season where a 4-game losing streak is no big whoop, this is it. And remember that the game that started it was eminently winnable but Girardi didn’t want to play regulars in both games of the DH.
“I hear Santa Claus has booked a flight for the Elf and expects him at the North Pole tomorrow, after his season ends tonight…”
Nick, I was thinking that tonight was for all of the candy, but you won already!
really hoping Alex can contribute in the playoffs
Cano has taken over but that lineup is just plain scary when Alex is hitting
no wade or ayala weakens the pen Bret.
So, the Red Sox and their fans are praying the Yankees win tonight, because that’s the only way they can make it to tomorrow. What a spot to be in, for the greatest team in history.
So, Theo goes to Chicago, to run the Cubs. Does he bring Tito with him?
Tyanks, however I can certainly see why you’d want the Yanks to win tonight!
who needs romine?
give me a speedy 5th OF
BD, I’m really beginning to doubt it with Alex……..and it’s a shame because he looked like a monster at the beginning of the year. If it’s not one thing this year, it’s another.
Alex hasn’t looked right for awhile. I don’t expect anything from him in the postseason.
Same goes for Tex. I hope I am dead wrong……
That’s right, Trisha, all the chocolate will be mine! Exciting. When we made our bet I thought it would be tough to thread the needle between my $ bet on the Socks getting under 95.5 wins and winning our over 89.5 wins chocolate bet.
If you don’t mind, I’d like to wait a few weeks to settle up. I don’t want all those Ritter Sports flying across the country in hot weather.
This year has not been a good one for Alex. I’m disappointed about him being scratched as he could use the at bats to help get his timing back.
The knee operation he had can flare up from time to time, so I can understand him being out, but it hurts him to lose those batting times against “real” pitching.
I don’t expect much from Alex either.
Someone said it’s rust but he looks out of shape.
All the more reason to carry Chavez, who’s a no brainer, but someone mentioned leaving him off.
Amazing baseball minds here at Lohud.
I think it would have been different had he not had that thumb injury. I think that was more significant than was reported, given the time off he needed and still having to have that tape on the bat to keep the pressure off his thumb.
I agree Yogi, I suspect that there must be a tear of something a bit more serious than a strain/sprain with the thumb.
My crystal ball also sees either Big Poopi or Gonzalez (or both) will have a big game.
*or something
Thinking the same thing mick. Joe has some big decisions.
I knew the thumb injury would be a problem…….but I didn’t think it would be this big a problem. Other players are going to have to pick up the slack. Swisher has to do a lot better this time around and Tex has to hit like the player we paid for. I expect big things from Granderson and Cano – and Jeter. Alex may have a moment or two, but physically he’s beat up.
Of course, the quiet ones will pronounce the doubters as idiots and non-believers, IF Alex comes up big.
Trisha, they’ve been playing the regulars who just aren’t hitting. I’m sure the Yankees will win tonight. They always win when my dad goes to the games and lose when I go, like Monday. As you know and most people on here, I dislike the Rays more than the Sox.
Betsy,
true – I’m still holding out hope that he can be 100% for next year but anything this year appears to be a bonus, unfortunately.
My biggest fear is that they peaked a week ago and in a 5 game series you don’t have much time to turn it on from off.
“If you don’t mind, I’d like to wait a few weeks to settle up. I don’t want all those Ritter Sports flying across the country in hot weather.”
Absolutely. How is this for a potential sweet (no pun intended) moment? I just may be paying for those bars with money that Brian Sux fan will have to pony up if Jeter hits 300.
Tonight is going to tell many tales!!!
BD, it really sucks because Alex is one of the few players who can carry his team on his back………..I hope he’ll be ok next year, but who the heck knows?
alex who? we win with who we got!
mick, i have the same fear. Not only is it hard to turn it on in a 5 game series, but it’s even more so when you gotta (possibly) face Verlander 2x.
Ok, I’m gonna get positive now. Just wanted to express my concerns.
BryanHoch Cashman on what Yankees can expect from A-Rod in playoffs: “”I don’t know. Really, I don’t know… I don’t think he’s quite there yet.”
With 2 wildcards in 2013 this whole thing would be moot.
tyanks, that why I said I understood why you would want the win tonight.
The regulars may not be hitting but I don’t think that’s cause for worry. They’ve been here before and know how to prepare for the postseason. This is staying in practice and nothing more. Swinging the bats, getting work in the field. It’s batting practice. Which it is meant to be.
If the Yanks were playing a team that wasn’t trying to win the wild card, they may have won the last four games.
No biggie.

doesn’t matter what we think, we have no say in the matter.
it will get settled soon enough on the field.
Lightnings sighted in B-More .
re: BryanHoch
UGH
Oooops.
Just lightnings in a bottle caught by Sucks in the form of Lavernsway.
new post
Nobody knows how to turn in on better in the postseason than the Yankees.
If you can keep yourselves from worrying, it’s a good thing to do. The team you’ve watched all season long is the team that will be winning in the postseason. (that would be the Yankees)
Okay, I will now turn my attention to the Camden Coliseum.
GO SHOWALTERS!!!
mick,
yes sir, you are correct.
I am going to be in attendance on Saturday and I gotta say, I’m very excited but also a little nervous too.
