The registration for playoff tickets isn't even closed yet.   Ancient chinese secret         Actually, season ticket holders get first crack at tickets before they go on sale to the public. 2 per series, 6 tickets total. And if you're have Plan A or B (50-82 games) you get your specific seat(s) automatically. I had to go online @ 10:00 sharp and get whatever I could as fast as I could. I did OK. I got 2 seats for the ALDS game 1, 2 seats for Game 6 of the ALCS. And I got two GREAT FIELD LEVEL WS TIX. . . . for games one and two. So I have to go by myself or sell them. If its vs the Mets, I'll go. If not I'll sell them. Stubhub has them going for $700-1100 each (they cost $250 each). I have a feeling if they play the Mets, the $ will go alot higher. Regular season Bosox games sell for 3X face value on Stubhub, and this is the fucking WS were talking about, possibly a subway series.

I think Giambi just thinks that at this point A-Rod needs a fire lit under his ass and he's man enough to take credit or blame for what he says. Unlike just about everyone else who seemingly don't even talk to A-Rod much and anonymously whisper to the press behind his back. Exactly. And he reiterated that during the clubhouse celebration last night. The only people who think he was ripping him either read a tone to those remarks that wasn't there, or know nothing about Giambi. Who is universally loved in the clubhouse and everyone says he doesn't have a mean bone in his body. But enough about A-Rod, how he feels, how everybody else feels about him. About his relationship with Jeter, Torre etc. Just hit the fucking ball and win some fucking games. What A-Rod has never understood about NY and its fans is they really DONT care about him. Its not about him. Its about winning, and he's never been able to grasp that no matter how many times he claims he does.

A great quote in the lockerroom last night was after Kim Jones said, "They say you might end up giving your wrist a third cortisone shot.  You'll do whatever it takes to win at that point?" and Giambi replies, "I'll do ANYTHING it takes to win."Yes you will, Jason.  Yes you will.

Bulldogcakes

Actually, if Giambi sits because of the bad wrist it means Melky will be very likely to start in LF. That would put (hold onto your hats) Sheffield at first, and Matsui at DH. I think Melky has been huge to the defense and chemistry of this group, and want him to play more than Sheff. Giambi being hurt could open things up for him.

Right now on YES, they're replaying the A-Rod bottom-of-the-12th walk-off against the Braves. Coincidence? Or does someone at the station wanna rally some support for A-Rod?

P.S. - I was at that game. Be jealous.

Yah seriously.  At least the rest of these clowns have been here all year long while you just pop in when times are grand.  Suck it Tom, we all know you couldn't pick out a yankee outside of Jeter in a police lineup if your life was on the line.  And the only reason you know what Jeter looks like is because you have a man-crush on him as if you were a 15 year old girl.  Do you have a tight #2 yank jersey to yank it in?  I guess BDC can answer that one.  Or perhaps Stugots since he's so overboard with his pics of tits and god knows you're stacked.  Hell, between the three of you (BDC, Stu and Justice), you can surely start your own titty bar you sloppy messes.  Why not just put a pic of your own up there Stu?  A little hair never hurt in Chelsea!  At least that's what Waddles used to say.

So far so good with Sheff at first. Looks a little unsure, a bit tight, but has made every play so far. And lets face it, he doesn't have to be all that good to be better than Giambi, who cant throw the ball to 2nd to save his life.

How much importance do you place on home field advantage throughout the playoffs?  Currently, the Yankees are 1/2 game back of the Tigers, with the Twins just a game back of the Yankees.  I know people that think it's a big edge to have.  However, in my experience, home field advantage, seems to have little to no advantage (at least in baseball).

Doctor Z

09-25-2006, 11:09 AM

I don't know about the historical stats in the playoffs, so I'm not gonna pull out any numbers from my ass... But home field provides an abundantly clear advantage during the regular season.

New York
Home: 47-28
Road: 46-34

Boston
Home: 45-31
Road: 38-42

Toronto
Home: 49-31
Road: 33-42The Yankees don't have a drastically better record at home, but it IS better. The Red Sox and Blue Jays are both WELL over .500 at home, and UNDER .500 on the road.Also, having last licks in the bottom of the 9th isn't just an intangible advantage (like crowd support, field familiarity), it's a legit advantage.

Jeeze... Even as a Yankee fan, this is one of the most brutal starts to a ballgame I've ever seen. Two 3-run homers, two very heated ejections, a 15-pitch at-bat that ends with a homerun, and more booing than an Opie & Anthony comedy event. Poor Seo.

As if I didn't already wanna sever the heads of John Sterling & Suzyn Waldman enough... I was just washing dishes (and yeah, I wore an apron.

Freddy has roamed around Yankee Stadium hitting his lucky pot with a spoon for ages. This is where Sterling & Waldman made me wish I had the ability to fire them immediately, forever.
Waldman said something to the effect of, "I dunno if someone's hitting a pipe or what. It's quite annoying." Sterling added to the whine-fest with, "Yeah, someone's knocking on something. What does it mean? Does it mean something? I don't see what the point is."


You FUCKING IDIOTS. You're sitting there COMPLAINING about someone MAKING NOISE in the CROWD of a baseball game... On top of that, it's someone hitting what sounds like a metal pot... which Yankee Stadium is FAMOUS for, thanks to ole' Freddy.

Mojo's right that you dont have to have good pitching and defense to win a WS. Look at the 2003 Angels. lousy defensively and no big time starters to speak of. The 2004 Bosox were typical of Boston teams in that they couldn't catch the ball much, but had a top hitting team and two aces as starters. And the Atlanta Braves proved for 10+ that you need more than some great pitchers and some guys that can catch the ball behind them to win it all.  <blockquote />  That being said, the Yanks got away from the versitile hitters they had in their run of 1994-2000. Guys like Soriano, Sheffield, A-Rod proved to be enormous graveyards for too many rallies in recent years. As opposed to the teams during the run that had more "pass the baton" type hitters. And the best Yankee team ever saw was 1998, not a single player was a starter on the All Star team that year. Because they weren't "me" guys, they were "team" guys. But if this Yankee team wins it all (which most prognosticators think they will) it will certainly NOT be with great pitching and defense. It will be with their lineup.

That doesn't bother me at all. I have no idea what Johnson will do from start to start anymore. The only way I can deal with him is to think of him as a 3rd to 5th starter. So I dont consider it losing an ace. That pitcher is long gone.

Johnson could pitch a shutout one time out and give up 7 runs the next. Very inconsistent. Wright will generally give you 5 or 6 innings and let up 2 or 3 runs. The reason why Randy Johnson has been pitching is his history BEFORE he came to NY. If Wright pitched to a 5+ ERA he'd be in the bullpen, or skipped over every chance they got.

New York will take seven infielders (Gary Sheffield, Jason Giambi,
Robinson Cano, Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Cairo and Phillips), two
catchers (Jorge Posada and Sal Fasano) and five outfielders (Hideki
Matsui, Johnny Damon, Bobby Abreu, Bernie Williams and Melky Cabrera). 
The 11 pitchers will be Chien-Ming Wang, Mike Mussina, Randy Johnson,
Jaret Wright, Cory Lidle, Ron Villone, Bruney, Mike Myers, Scott
Proctor, Kyle Farnsworth and Mariano Rivera. If Johnson's back injury
causes him to miss his Game 3 start, the Yankees would leave him off
the roster and add either Jeff Karstens, Darrell Rasner or Sean Henn. Why is Henn even being CONSIDERED in that sentence?  Karstens.  There is no other option.

Nah, he's a catcher and stands to get a heavy workload if they go deep into the playoffs. I wouldn't be surprised if they sit him again today. I also couldn't care less if Jeter wins a batting title or not. If it was Cano, I'd be rooting for him, just because he's young and it would give him confidence. But Jeter should just be thinking about winning championships at age 32, and I think he is.  I also dont care less if he wins an MVP, and actually think Morneau or Dye are more deserving, especially Morneau.

Sp do not scare me with this team. They take and foul off so many pitches that the sp is done by the 5th inn because they are at 100 pitches. The only team that scares me is a team with a good pen. In the AL they only team that fit that was the Angels, and the NL is AAAA. And do not give me the Twins and Nathen and who ever because we smack them around in a big spot every time.

So even if you batted around the next inning, it doesn't matter because you already had the lead. It would take a collossal implosion of the bullpen for that to be a factor. And in the playoffs, all relievers (exc Mo) have a short leash. Don't worry about it. It wont happen, and even if it does it wont be a factor.  <blockquote />

What the fuck. All of you Yankee haters with teams that are out are like these desperate former Celebes that go on skating with Celebes or dancing with the stars. I know that this is the premier thread to get you name in print but stay out. Your team sucked balls and that is why they are not in the playoffs. Live with it. I am a Knick fan and i do not go on  other team threads to root against them because my team sucks.

As it is, not only was Proctor used tonight Farnsworth is probably unavailable tomorrow seeing how he pitches on consecutive days.

Brewers or KC) should throw it all right back just to get 4 -10 more wins best case senario.  That gets them what, 3rd place?  Teams that make a shitload and don't put much into the team are few and far between.  The Jays have been able to increase their payrolls for two reasons:  1) Their attendence continues to rise five years in a row.  2)  The new owner actually had money and was financially stable unlike the corp that owned them before.  Corps should rarely be allowed to own franchises bc it's all bottom line and rarely an investment type look ahead.  The stock tie-in never helps the overall pic of a team owned by a corp that's public.

That's all I can say.

Doctor Z

10-03-2006, 08:51 PM

Actually, I lied. I can say more.As if he couldn't be anymore legendary in the post-season, Derek Jeter added yet another page to his Yankee lore tonight. Going 5 for 5, with 2 doubles and a HR, he proved once again that he lives for October baseball.Chien-Ming Wang, who is only in his second year in the majors, walked into this season as the team's 3rd or 4th starter. A major league leading 19 wins later, he is the Game 1 starter for the New York Yankees, and regardless of the post-season pressure, he performs as consistently as ever. This kid has ice flowing through his veins. He doesn't panic with runners on, the limelight doesn't scare him, and he gets the job done.As far as Joe Torre... Yeah, he should've let Wang finish the 7th, I'll agree with that. But he went for the matchup and it didn't work out. Bottom line is, he walked away with an 8-4 win, and I wouldn't want anyone else in his place right now.

I'd love to rip Jeter but he really does amaze at times. 

Tenbatsuzen

10-03-2006, 09:39 PM

My thought: Since Wang is the least beat up of the Yankees top three pitchers, perhaps Torre and Co. wanted to keep him under 100 pitches so if he's needed for relief in GM 3 or an accelerated start , he may be available?

Kevin

10-03-2006, 09:41 PM

Wow thats as close to a Yankee compliment that i have ever seen Spoon make. Now Jeter really is amazing. And by the way to the Met fans who even mention Reyes in the same breath with this guy you are all sadly wrong.

I was at last nights game (Opening day for us Yankee fans) and it was a great time. As good as Yankee stadium is during the season it's even more fun in October. Plus the babes get waaaay hotter in the postseason, even in the upper deck.One play I saw that I dont know if it was on TV was when Sheffield indecisively deflected a throw from Abreau off his glove he should have caught to cut off the runner advancing to 2nd. Anyone else see that? I think it was in the 5th. Plays like that worry me if/when we play the A's. Who pitch and catch the ball as well as anyone.

Tonight's game could've been played without even a single delay. At no point did it even rain hard enough to bring out the tarp... So, WHY the FUCK wasn't baseball played tonight? Somethin' STINKS here, and it's not Suzyn Waldman's rotting cunt.

Well, as a residence of the borough of the Bronx, it truly started raining ( a lot!) around 11-ish with a couple thunders.So it would've been in the late innings around this time.This is why I'm always in favor of retractable roofs on new stadiums being built.  I F**KING HATE RAIN DELAYS/PPD GAMES!!!!!!!  The original design of the new Yankee Stadium had a retractable roof, but since it will cost extra, they won't do it.  SIGH!

I think A-Rod needed a big postseason to turn around Yankee fans. He's said so himself many times. Strikes out LOOKING with the bases loaded in the first, follows it up with a few more strikeouts in a one run game. I think Leyland is taking Maddog's advice and "Let A-Rod beat you". In which case, were doomed. He has huge #'s against Kenny Rogers, something like 10-19 with 5 HR's. If A-Rod doesn't have a big day tomorrow, I think we can all admit that this has been a failed experiment and he should be traded in the off season. If he cant hit a guy he owns in the postseason, who can he hit? And how can you have confidence putting hikm in the lineup anywhere? He has more enemies than friends in the clubhouse, and he's had 2 sub par A-Rod years out of the 3 he's played here, and more self induced drama than I can stomach. I thought with him as the #6 hitter he wouldn't bother me, like thinking of Unit as your 3rd or 4th starter makes him easier to deal with. But as Torre says "it will find you" and it found A-Rod today. I also think the Yanks are in big trouble. Despite the fact they beat Rogers like a rented mule, I have no confidence in the 43 year old with the cranky back and worse attitude. I can easily see that game being 7-6 in the 5th and we have a battle of the bullpens. Which is a battle I think we'll lose. Then its Jaret Wright to save the season. We have problems.

Verlander struck out A-Rod twice on two very nasty pitches. And he struck out against Zumaya who made the entire heart of the order look silly. I only defend him because he was only one of many in this lineup who sucked today. Only Damon had a hit with runners in scoring position. Jeter left as many on base as A-Rod today, Cano twice as many. They ran into great pitching today, that's the long and short of it.The seventh inning was hilarity. Sheffield lines out on the first pitch. Crowd reaction: nothing. What has he done for the Yanks in the postseason over his career? nothing. Giambi strikes out. Crowd reaction: nothing. What has he done for the Yanks in his postseason career? little. A-Rod strikes out. Crowd reaction: boos of course. What is the huge fucking difference between these three? Sheffield has been even worse in the playoffs since he got here and he gets no crap. But today was just like any day. When the yanks win everyone looks to Jeter. When they lose everyone looks to A-Rod. Today was a team loss. Despite all the bad hitting they handed a 3-1 lead to Mussina that he couldn't hold. Again, a lot of guilty parties today.

Bulldogcakes

10-05-2006, 03:25 PM

No doubt, H. Cano was lousy today also. But Giambi has had some big HR's (just yesterday, Pedro gm 7) and Sheffield was very clutch his first year w/the Yanks. So they both got the fans off their backs at some point. A-Rod hasn't, its been 3 years, and nobody ever called Sheff or Giambi "the best player in baseball". The fucking guy's a head case, its become increasingly apparent. Playing for the Yanks in NY is a high pressure job. Some guys embrace it, some deal with it, and others get destroyed by it. We've seen him go into a SCARY collapse this year both defensively and at the plate. He has this potseason (which isn't over yet) to redeem himself. If he doesn't, he falls into the "couldn't handle NY" category and its best for all parties he go somewhere less intense. Like either team from LA. As much trouble as the Yanks have w/the LAA, sending A-Rod there doesn't scare me at all. That says alot.

Rodriguez this season, he stands on the doorstep of a postseason that
represents nothing short of a crossroads in his Yankee career.

Deliver in a big way and from now on he gets treated more like Derek
Jeter than Jeff Weaver by the fans who have made such a sport of booing
him this year.

Come up small as he did in his first two Octobers in pinstripes, and at
best it dooms A-Rod to even shabbier treatment at Yankee Stadium. At
worst it convinces the Yankees to make the best of a bad situation and
trade him. 

If he does flop, and the Yankees get knocked out of the playoffs
without reaching the World Series, it's hard to believe GM Brian
Cashman won't conclude that a trade would be best for both the ballclub
and A-Rod.  
Meanwhile, the Angels would love to make a deal for A-Rod. Owner Arte
Moreno already has made a public apology of sorts to fans for not
acquiring a slugger to pair with Vladimir Guerrero this season, and has
promised to make up for it.

Other teams would have interest as well, since the Yankees are paying
A-Rod $16 million a year, and not $25 million, after the Rangers agreed
to eat the difference so they could get out from under his infamous
$252 million contract. 

One National League GM says there is some buzz among baseball executives already about the possibility of A-Rod being available.

"Everyone is aware of what a circus it was in New York with him this
year," the GM said. "That's why there will be so much pressure on him
in the postseason. If he's not going to come up big for them when it
counts, why do they need him? And if Brian can trade him for pitching,
they'd probably be a stronger team."

That's why the Angels would be an obvious fit. At the trading deadline
they tried to acquire Miguel Tejada from the Orioles, offering pitcher
Ervin Santana and top shortstop prospect Erick Aybar. 

Santana, a 23-year old righthander who went 16-8 with a 4.28 ERA this
season, would give the Yankees the kind of young arm they need as Randy
Johnson and Mike Mussina deal with age issues. 

Indeed, if highly touted pitching prospect Philip Hughes fulfills the
Yankees' expectations, the trio of Chien-Ming Wang, Santana, and Hughes
could make for a formidable Big Three in the coming years.   Who needs Playboy magazine when you have this? <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/story/457728p-385207c.html" target="_self" title="Playoff failure could be end of A-Rod in Bronx"></a>

I wasn't saying that's why they lost, I was merely echoing the words of Johnny Damon, Mike Mussina, Mike Francesa, and Chris Russo (who absolutely hates the Yankees).
I'm willing to take the words of 2 players and 2 radio show hosts with at least SOME validity. And the thing was, of course there were shadows for the Tigers too, but they were facing a "finesse" pitcher, as they say. The Yankees were facing 103 MPH fast balls, which are nothing short of impossible to pick up in those conditions. I'm not making excuses... the Yankees lost, fair and square. But I have an ill feeling the Yankees would be up 2-0 right now if they played last night. 
If it had actually rained, I wouldn't even be mentioning it. My gripe is with the fact that it didn't even rain more than a fucking light drizzle. This is the playoffs. The game could've been played.

By the end of the clusterfuck of misinterpretation and twisting of words, it was concluded that I said, "Shadows didn't exist for the Tigers" and "The Yankees lost because of the shadows."

The game could've been played.  The Yanks had and blew their chances with runners on base without the shadows. Their chances of touching Zumaya were remote even without shadows. It was one inning out of nine and didn't affect the 10 runners left on base in the first four innings.
