New York Yankees Thread - 2009 World Champions

[Ritalin]

I'd like to see you publically flogged before each game.

fag

[Doctor Z]

can you fems stop talking about singing songs? we're in the ALCS here lets talk about baseball.

I'm on board with this.

[TheMojoPin]

fag

I don't think flogging means what you think it means.

[GregoryJoseph]

I'm on board with this.

And I'm bored with this.

GO ANGELS!!!

[TheMojoPin]

I'm on board with this.

Me too. Your baseball insights are spectacular.

[TripleSkeet]

I wish the Phillies would play High Hopes for every 7th inning stretch instead of God Bless America or Take me Out to the Ballgame. At least that song has some signifigance for the team.

[TheMojoPin]

And I'm bored with this.

GO ANGELS!!!

STOP KILLING OTHER PEOPLE'S TEAMS.

[GregoryJoseph]

STOP KILLING OTHER PEOPLE'S TEAMS.

I think I'll root for the Cubs next season...

[disneyspy]

I think I'll root for the Cubs next season...

good

[GregoryJoseph]

Ha!

GO COWBOYS!!!

[TheMojoPin]

I think I'll root for the Cubs next season...

They're already cursed. Your Hippo-esque jinx-iness would hopefully just reverse that.

I'll send you a hat.

[Doctor Z]

Me too. Your baseball insights are spectacular.

Sorry about your penis.

[GregoryJoseph]

They're already cursed. Your Hippo-esque jinx-iness would hopefully just reverse that.

I'll send you a hat.

I'll wear it!

[TheMojoPin]

Sorry about your penis.

Next time just keep your ass still.

[Ritalin]

I don't think flogging means what you think it means.

no, I know what it means.

You want to watch another man whipped/flayed/flogged in public at the Yankee game.

Maybe then you can get the singer from Judas Preist to sing God Bless America afterward.

[A.J.]

Maybe then you can get the singer from Judas Preist to sing God Bless America afterward.

No fucking Brit is performing OUR anthem.

Well, maybe Jersey Rich.

[TheMojoPin]

no, I know what it means.

Please keep your homoerotic serial killer perversions to yourself in the future. Thanks.

[Ritalin]

Please keep your homoerotic serial killer perversions to yourself in the future. Thanks.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I don't want Gregory Joseph publicly flogged.

YOU DO, Buffalo Bill.

[TheMojoPin]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I don't want Gregory Joseph publicly flogged.

YOU DO, Buffalo Bill.

Yeah, but you're the creep that thinks it's sexual.

Perhaps you'd wish to share more of your dark desires with us?

[Ritalin]

Yeah, but you're the creep that thinks it's sexual.

Perhaps you'd wish to share more of your dark desires with us?

ah, the old rubber/glue defense.

Old school, Zed.

[TheMojoPin]

Hey, it's OK. We're accepting. Lord knows why you automatically equate floggings with buttfuckery, but who are we to judge? I'll get you a copy of those hot gay pornos The Passion of the Christ and Glory for Christmas!

[Ritalin]

ok, fun is fun, but please don't mix the Lord in with your sick gay bondage fetish

Can you do us that favor, Larry Craig?

[TheMojoPin]

Ironically, this is the least gay conversation to ever take place in this thread.

[Ritalin]

Ironically, this is the least gay conversation to ever take place in this thread.

Funny.

Yeah. Go Yankees!

[sailor]

for the record, i had no problem with the yankees deciding not to use tynan due to this incident. it is a beautiful song and deserves to be a part of the game.

[brettmojo]

Plus you asshats need to stop singing the fucking song. It's the stretch, not a fuckin' wake.
^ This.

Enough already. It got to the point they were stopping people from leaving their seats during it.

[TripleSkeet]

^ This.

Enough already. It got to the point they were stopping people from leaving their seats during it.

Thats just fucking ridiculous.

Enough About The Fucking Weather! No One Gives A Fuck! Leave This Shit To Fat Fuck Al Roker!

ummm... Why put Gardner in if he wasn't gunna fuck run?

........

I would have liked to see a fuck run.

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Another fucking Double play? They want to hand this game to Anaheim on a silver platter

[Marc with a c]

i hope willits fuck runs now.

[epo]

We didn't start singing the National Anthem before games until WWII, and after it was over the tradition stuck.

If singing "God Bless America" during the 7th inning stretch is a new tradition that starts as a result of 9/11 I couldn't care less.

Personally, I'd like to see a moment of silence before each game with an announcement that this is the time to worship any country and/or deities you believe in and leave it at that.

The 7th inning stretch "God Bless America" stuff is played out and tired. Every stadium should just stop doing it.

[Kevin]

Jeter just fuck fielded

[Marc with a c]

suck on that mccarver.

[epo]

Gary Matthews is one of the greatest contract thieves sports have ever seen.

Definitely. Bradley is a turd, but Matthews got a contract for five years to be a turd.

[Marc with a c]

hunter was cheating so much on those 2-0 and 2-1 pitches and still got beat. fuck that fuck pitch.

[Ritalin]

Joe buck keeps saying what a great game this is, but it's not really. Pretty average playoff game if you ask me.

What....a....game, Joe Buck?

What....a.....fag.

Conversely, extra innings in October is no time for umpires to arbitrarily changes the rules.

[Marc with a c]

Conversely, extra innings in October is no time for umpires to arbitrarily changes the rules.

the neighborhood play isn't actually a rule, it has just been a courtesy given to middle infielders. typically it is when they catch the ball after they stepped on the base, but is rarely called the way it just was.

[sailor]

the neighborhood play isn't actually a rule, it has just been a courtesy given to middle infielders. typically it is when they catch the ball after they stepped on the base, but is rarely called the way it just was.

the neighborhood play was always intended for the fielder to be straddling the bag, not standing a foot behind it. in my opinion.

[Marc with a c]

the neighborhood play was always intended for the fielder to be straddling the bag, not standing a foot behind it. in my opinion.

straddling? you mean one foot in front of the bag and one behind it? when does that ever come into play on a double play?

[Kevin]

straddling? you mean one foot in front of the bag and one behind it? when does that ever come into play on a double play?

WHY the fuck are u guys still fucking talking about a now meaningless fuck play?

This rain is effecting the game???

[dino_electropolis]

straddling? you mean one foot in front of the bag and one behind it? when does that ever come into play on a double play?
If Aybar did it in one fluid motion, its a double play.

He planted his feet, waiting for the late throw from 2B. Once he stopped, he's gotta swipe the bag at the least.



Great fkn game though.

[Kevin]

Holy over managing Batman

[Hottub]

I just stepped outside.
It is cold, windy and raining like a bitch. Just miserable!

[epo]

I just stepped outside.

Which is why all new baseball stadiums should be built with a retractable roof. Your ballpark sucks eggs.

Is Girardi playing for a rain delay?

Enough with the fucking pitching changes!

I gotta get some sleep tonight, you prick.

If your team could play more than 3 games of Oct baseball once every 20 years, that roof would be GOLD!

[Jughead]

So if the Yankees win Game 3, do you still use CC in game 4? Or Gaudin in 4 and CC as a stopper on full rest in 5?

[Doctor Z]

Who would've guessed I'd ever say that A-Rod is the fucking clutchest sonofabitch on the Yankees?! This guy is absolutely fucking unbelievable... TWO GAME-TYING BOTTOM OF EXTRA INNINGS HR'S IN 5 POST-SEASON GAMES?! Un. Fucking. Believable.

This is why you Yankees fans are ridiculous.

This is even from before this season (from deadspin.com) :

A-Rod, through 42 postseason games: .291, 25 RBIs, 9 HRs, 46 hits, 158 at-bats, not a True Yankee, not clutch.
Reggie Jackson, through his first 42: .265, 19 RBIs, 7 HRs, 40 hits, 151 at-bats, True Yankee, clutch.

Don't you have a hotstove report to look at?

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Just in case there is another game like this, I wonder if the Judge in Florida will allow Jim Leyritz to fly out to Anaheim for an at bat for the Yankees

[TheGameHHH]

Brad Pitt wears the same hat and everyone calls him stylish, why the Kay hate???

How many extra innings game-tying HR's did he have in October prior to 2009? ...Now he has 2. 3 HR's total, and 8 RBI's, in 5 games. That shit's clutch. Take your numbers and shove them up your pee hole.

he had some clutch hits in 2004 against the twins. they wouldnt have made it to the ALCS that year if it wasnt for him

It really seems now that everything Serena Roberts tries to destroy does awesome after the fact. The Duke LAX players are gonna get a HUUUUGE payout from the school, and A-Rod is doing this, PLUS upgraded to Kate Hudson.

[TheGameHHH]

i was hoping you didnt have a witty comeback for that and instead you made me laugh. fuckin a

When did Kate Hudsom become this great snag ?

Did you ever see the guy she was married to ?

That's not exactly pristine territory.

Didn't Matthew McConaughey get in on that too ?

She's got the chest of a 10 year old boy but that could explain Rodriguez's fascination with her.

If you look at the face of his ex-wife, and look at the face of Kate, you can tell - major, major upgrade.

"pristine territory"? What does that even mean?

All I'm saying is that A-Rod seems much, much happier now that he's with Kate. Anyone who follows this team understands that Alex is less sullen, more personable and has been ZERO distraction to the team since May. That, for all purposes, is an upgrade.

Couldn't his relaxed demeanor have more to do w/ better protection around him ?

Or maybe that the steroids issue is now out of the way as far as being a secret ?

It's possible that the thought of that ever coming out was always a distraction for him and now that it's over he can't worry about spilled milk so to speak.

It may not be your opinion about Hudson, so maybe I lashed out at you too strongly, but it drives me crazy when I listen to sports shows and they act like she's some kinda A-List celebrity.

[Freitag]

Although Hudson isn't an A++ list celebrity, she's had a string of movies that make money and make over 100 million dollars. Her last movie made over 100 million at a 70 million dollar profit (took 30 mil to make)

She's a very profitable actress and she's basically "Hollywood Royalty". The difference between her and other A list celebs is that she's not constantly splashed on TMZ.

Have you noticed that when A-rod had a flirtation with Madonna it was HUGE, but he's had a pretty long relationship with Kate and it's been very low key?

It could be that. It could be that a bad marriage and a bad divorce weighed heavily on him. It could be a bunch of things. I think it's just that Jason Zillo having a long talk with Alex + Kate has helped out A-Rod a lot in becoming a likeable person.

Him and the rest of the country. Too bad its not gonna happen.

Torii Hunter's favorite quote is from the movie Spiderman?

What is he seven?

[Aggie]

thank you mr. damon! :clap:

[Kevin]

Damn, i thought that Arod ball was gone when he hit it.

[zildjian361]

Tex is next:surrender::smoke::drunk:

[GregoryJoseph]

VLAD!!!

[sailor]

VLAD!!!

what's that his first big hit of the entire post-season and he stands there and stares at it? fuckin' hope they drill him next time up.

[Kevin]

It was Andy's fault for throwing it on the only place he can hit it these days, RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE.

Ad fucking Swisher for having a runner on 3rd with 1 out twice and doing jack.

[TheGameHHH]

love bullpen Joba

[Kevin]

I wonder if fat Socisa is screaming JETSEN!

[GregoryJoseph]

Come on, Melky...do what you do best!

Ground into a double play...

[Kevin]

What the FUCK was that BUM Melky swinging at?

[JerseyRich]

Thank you Bobby Abreu.

[TheGameHHH]

Wow Bobby....."Is no good."

[GregoryJoseph]

I have no idea what Abreu was thinking. The old adage "Never make the first or third out of an inning at third base" is pounded into your head in Little League.

Why would he try for a triple?

He knows he's no speed demon.

[ihaveabadmonkey]

How is Pat Sajak spinning the wheel on ABC and sitting behind the plate on Fox. I'm all confused.

He wouldve had the triple if he didnt stop. That play summed up Bobby Abreau in a nutshell. Plenty of talent, no heart. More worried about getting a double then risking an out to take third.

And come on. Dont be a dick. Switch the avatar.

[foodcourtdruide]

Girardi leaves the righty in vs. Morales. He hit a rocket to Texiera, but why take that risk???

[Kevin]

If Jorge gets on, would u pinch run Guzman?

[underdog]

Nice throw, Rivera.

[hammersavage]

The Sajak factor makes this game an instant classic

[Ritalin]

Textiera - I know, probaby misspelled - reminds me of Paul ONeill. I hate the Yankees, but I like guys like that. Him
and Jeter I like.

[IamFogHat]

That was a bad pitch to not swing at.

And that was a bad one to swing at.

[IamFogHat]

Dammit.

[TripleSkeet]

Man the Angels fucking stink. They are just giving this game away.

[sailor]

there's that fuck pitch

[Ritalin]

I liked the old school Angel unis with the black cap much better. They look like the D-backs now.

[TripleSkeet]

This is the first chance Ive had to switch back and forth between games. Really shows just how bad these TBS announcers are. Poor Buck Martinez sounded like he was ready to cry with that last Howard homer.

[Kevin]

I said it before and ill say it again.

The only person that could stop us from getting #27 is Joe Girardi.

God is he fucking idiot..

Robertson was pitching great.

[K.C.]

Hairston got knocked the fuck out by that wall.

That's why I love baseball managers.

They do just about zero to positively effect a game, but they can negatively effect any game.

They're the most useless, but most destructive leader in all sports.

WHAT reason did he have to take out Robertson?

They wern't touching him.

What an over managing RETARD.

[JPMNICK]

smart move on his part to use every reliever when there is another game tommorow. that way everyone is nice and tired with less rest. he 100% is at fault for that game

[Marc with a c]

the only thing i can think of is kendrick is a very good fastball hitter, and that is what robertson is going to feature, aceves is more of an off speed guy. i was surprised by the move, robertson is a strikeout mofo, and kendrick is prone to them. headscratcher.

[JimBeam]

I've seen Girardi twice now in the last 2 games take out a right hander pitcher and replace him with another right hander with 2 outs.

The other night he went from Hughes to Rivera and then tonight he did what he did.

Strange decision.

[brettmojo]

What the FUCK was that BUM Melky swinging at?
No way is he playing tomorrow. He's a black hole in that lineup.

[Dan 'Hampton]

What's the deal(context) of that pic of arod grabbing jeters ass?

[Doctor Z]

I don't even want to think about it, because I'm liable to have a stroke doing so... But I'll just say this: Girardi's move at the end of today's game is maybe the single worst managerial decision I've ever witnessed in my life.

[Doctor Z]

If I did, I would die. Of baseball poisoning.

Apparently, he likes himself some of the man-ass. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

Pretty much. I gave up a long time ago hoping for a manager who was actually good and now just pray for one who does the least damage.

It's a pity that the Yankees have a lineup so idiot-proof that it masks how truly awful Girardi is.

[razorboy]

Joe Girardi is a moron.


I find that hysterical.

What the hell? ARod is practically shoving people out of the way to get from the other end of the dugout to latch onto some Jeter ass, then Jeter just gives this look back like, "where the fuck were you?!?"

[keithy_19]

That's my favorite part. A-Rod running through the dugout to get to Jeter.

I have no reason to doubt his method though considering that he goes home to Kate Hudson.

[TheMojoPin]

The best part of that clip is how Matsui looks away in disgust.

[keithy_19]

A-Rod should know that in Japan it is custom to make eye contact before the ass grab. Matsui found his conduct to be boorish.

Even worse than Grady Little in Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS?

[A.J.]

I think he was shocked that he actually got a hit.

[Freitag]

This. Seriously, I'm getting a little annoyed by the hyperbole in this thread. I can rattle off a BUNCH of stupid managerial mistakes that were worse than what Girardi last night.

Namely:

1) Grady Little in Game 7 2003

2) Joe Torre pulling Hughes after 63 pitches and being lights out in the 2007 ALDS, then burning up Joba.

It was an All Star game for sure, but La Russa's decision not to pinch hit Pujols for Aaron Rowand with 2 outs and the bases loaded in the last inning of the 07 All Star game has to be up there, if only for the fact that there are entire BOOKS out there documenting what a "genius" La Russa is.

I will say that, in the history of moves in baseball, what Joe Girardi did last night was one of them.

Again, hyperbole. Including the end of the season, the Yankees won 6 in a row. Did people seriously expect the Yankees were gonna run the f'n table through the playoffs? Come on.

Even the 1999 team lost once in the playoffs.

I'm not saying Girardi is "the worst" manager of any kind...he's a very typically terrible baseball manager.

Read his post again... "In the history of baseball moves, this was one of them". Hes right. It was a baseball move.

I really don't give a damn if he was rockin' the spitball or not since doctored baseballs fucking RULE, but I have a hard time believing that a seasoned veteran like Mariano would do it so blatantly. If anyone can slow the clip down I'll bet that it'll show he's just spitting onto the ground and the angle and the cut to another shot make it seem like he's spitting on the ball.
