New York Yankees Thread - 2009 World Champions

[badorties]

i know it's a long season (even now that's such a cliche), but i'd love to seen a few days of good wins, padded stats and tabloid free coverage

[brettmojo]

I know it's raining and all but it's very strange to see all the empty seats in the stadium for a Yankee/Red Sox game. Why can't they let people move up or upgrade if they aren't being used?

Anyone who snuck down into the field level seats during the game were removed. Two guys were actually escorted away by a cop. The last couple innings they didn't bother though but there weren't really a lot of people doing it.

They did have 3 or 4 "seat upgrade raffles" where they'd move someone from the cheap seats to the field level seats and show it on the humongotron. I don't know if the suits think that's a great way to "reward" fans or something but to me it seemed really cheap to me. Like it was a pity move or something.

I know it's midnight on a Monday after a rain delay, but I'm mildly stunned at how empty that place is with the Red Sox in town.

It was a 2 hour rain delay then even once the game finally started people just gathered in the concourse area where the could stay out of the rain. Most of the field level seats are exposed except for a couple rows at the top. When the game started though there was still at least 3/5 or a stadium there.

Im the last person that would defend the yankees if it wasnt warranted, but the way weather was, I cant get on anyone for not showing. I guess if you can afford to eat a 2G ticket, more power to ya
Those were empty the whole night more or less. In one section to the right side of home plate there was only like 6 people sitting there. That fake mafia guy with the show on Spike was there though, so at least fake mafia guys on TV can still afford those seats. The paid attendance was 44,000+. The fucking Yankees did shit to keep us updated on the situation. I heard 3rd hand around 8 that they'd try to have the game at 9. The Yankees didn't make an announcement till like 8:45. People had to work today, couldn't stay... Just fucking awful situation all around.

Boy, seems like Texieras honeymoon is over huh?
He had his chance to win the crowd over like Giambi did hitting that grand slam against the Twins and he blew it. He jacked those two home runs and everyone was loving it. I think he'll be fine. Tino went though the same shit, Giambi as well. He wins one game and it'll be over.

[TheGameHHH]

now see, if i had just endured the swift kick in the nuts today i wouldnt have to have gone through Posada to the DL and Joba getting his tits ripped in the first inning.

[brettmojo]

:wallbash:

[Doctor Z]

Well, the good news is Joba is starting... because he was completely ineffective as a setup man out of the bullpen.

[drjoek]

Nice start so far for Joba:wallbash:

[Snoogans]

Maybe Joba would get his edge back if he picked up some Meth from dear ole mommy

[brettmojo]

Obviously David Ortiz was carrying Manny while he was in Boston...

Maybe Joba would get his edge back if he picked up some Meth from dear ole mommy
His estranged mommy.

[brettmojo]

Whoa. I'm having flashbacks to the game last night/this morning.

[joeyballsack]

Nice start so far for Joba:wallbash:

He has rebounded pretty nicely so far though.

[Doctor Z]

Wow, did Michael Kay just say "an outstanding 5 innings from Joba".... He's out of the game before the 6th. He gave up 4 runs in 5 innings... Outstanding?

[lleeder]

Wow, did Michael Kay just say "an outstanding 5 innings from Joba".... He's out of the game before the 6th. He gave up 4 runs in 5 innings... Outstanding?

Yeah that was a bit much. I did enjoy the fist pump from Joba though.

[brettmojo]

Wow, did Michael Kay just say "an outstanding 5 innings from Joba".... He's out of the game before the 6th. He gave up 4 runs in 5 innings... Outstanding?
He's not out yet.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Jesus, Joba's unconscious right now.

[Doctor Z]

Very surprised he's starting the 6th with 98 pitches.

[lleeder]

Jesus, Joba's unconscious right now.

Just like his mom.

[brettmojo]

Very surprised he's starting the 6th with 98 pitches.
The bullpen is shit right now.

Oh shit... No Girardi no... NOOOO!!!!! GO BACK TO THE DUGOUT!!!

[lleeder]

Nooooooooo don't take him out.

[joeyballsack]

Wow, did Michael Kay just say "an outstanding 5 innings from Joba".... He's out of the game before the 6th. He gave up 4 runs in 5 innings... Outstanding?

12 K's is pretty outstanding.

Now the bullpen should explode on cue.

[brettmojo]

Just like his mom.
It's all the more amazing he is where he is tonight after coming from that awful beginning.

[joeyballsack]

I hate to bitch about balls and strikes, but its been a pretty odd strike zone the last couple of nights.

[HBox]

Joba left the game with a 3.77 ERA which is the best ERA on the team. He's been the teams most effective starter and that's STILL not enough for some people.

[Kevin]

Hey Girardi..


YOUR FUCKING BULLPEN IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO FUCKING MIX AND MATCH.

He is the WORST.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Question:

Is this the old stadium or the new one?

old

Thought so. Was going by the number plates on the seat.

[drjoek]

The old seats
The concourse is not open behind the section

[TheGameHHH]

Hey Girardi..


YOUR FUCKING BULLPEN IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO FUCKING MIX AND MATCH.

He is the WORST.

I feel like no coach is good enough to manage the bullpen for you, i heard the same thing from you two years ago. Could it be because the bullpen sucks and not the coach? Their only good reliever outside of Mo is hurt. Trust me, it frustrates me too. But Girardi isnt out there throwing the pitches, neither was Torre

[Tenbatsuzen]

Bulldogcakes... come out and PLAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

[brettmojo]

Francesa's rants are gold.

[brettmojo]

Back from break... Still at it.

[Snoogans]

how has this guy NOT had a heart attack

[brettmojo]

He's yelling about how there's no life in the new YANKEES Stadium one minute then demonizing Joba for fist pumping and getting the crowd into it after a strike out. :wallbash:

[JPMNICK]

Francesa's rants are gold.

i am listening now, and he is going Nuts that Joba was player of the game even though he gave up 4 runs.

he is killing the yanks today. but it all sounds like fake outrage

[brettmojo]

It's sports talk radio, it's all fake outrage.

[Snoogans]

It's sports talk radio, it's all fake outrage.

as much as i like hearing mike FINALLY kill his team, this show is alot funnier when he is killing the Mets

[ChrisTheCop]

Yes networks Chevy player of the game was Jason Bay.

[brettmojo]

The point has been hit though. The Red Sox are now the Yankees and the Yanks are now the Red Sox. The fans at the park are just waiting for something bad to happen now just like it always was with Sox fans.

[Snoogans]

Yes networks Chevy player of the game was Jason Bay.

I dont know if he meant official player of the game. But during like the 7th and 8th inning, Kay and Cone were just praising Joba and talkin about what an amazing game he had and all this stuff. I dont know if it was official player of the game of them just sayin how they thought he was player of the game

[Snoogans]

The point has been hit though. The Red Sox are now the Yankees and the Yanks are now the Red Sox. The fans at the park are just waiting for something bad to happen now just like it always was with Sox fans.

The only difference is the Sox fans were still in the stadium for it. you guys have seemed to decide to just stay home.

And the ones who do come boo Tex every second he steps out of the dug out, its HILARIOUS

[Fallon]

But he lost! You can't be the player of the game with a L next to your name!

[Snoogans]

But he lost! You can't be the player of the game with a L next to your name!

thats the point Mike is making. You might actually get 660 am WFAN up there Fallon. You definately will at night, but im not sure the range in the day. Give it a try sometime, oh man if anything, its at least funny

[TheMojoPin]

But he lost! You can't be the player of the game with a L next to your name!

I hope I just fell into the sarchasm.

The tickets were sold for both these games. The weather was just shit all day both days. It was pouring when I left NYC yesterday around noon. Not to mention it was a midweek game. I'm from 3 hours away and if I hadn't gotten a hotel room monday night way ahead of time in the city I wouldn't have stuck around for that game either.

Tex was getting cheered pretty good after those two homers monday but everyone forgot about it when he didn't come through at the end.

[Tenbatsuzen]

I think the next snoogans tips vidoes should be a francesa parody.

[Tenbatsuzen]

This is the difference between Mike and Chris:

When Chris gets angry, you know there's a playfulness behind his voice, that he knows IT'S JUST A GAME.

When Mike gets angry, he sounds like a drunken uncle who's gonna take a swing at you.

[TheMojoPin]

Not that it translates to everyone, but damn, what a shitty fanbase/organization. I really had nothing against either, but this year the worst aspects of both are just being highlighted left and right. You've got the organization fucking over the fans that would be there regardless of the delays and you've got these (literally) fairweather fans leaving the seats empty and then people booing Tex because of a slow start or because he doesn't hit a game-winning hit. How many best players in the league do the Yanks need to get before some of these fans grasp the concept that even the best players don't always come through?

[Tenbatsuzen]

Mike's idea of "fillers off the street" is INSANE.

YOU FUCKING DUMMY - TAKE THE PEOPLE FROM THE UPPERDECK AND GIVE THEM UPGRADES.

He's hitting .198. The team hasn't beaten the Red Sox in the first 6 games they've played. Should the female fans be throwing panties at him?

The fans who are paying the money to come see this team play are seeing bad baseball. They really do have a right to voice their frustration.

He has yet to come through at all. It only takes once.

he hit TWO HOMERS IN ONE GAME AND WAS BOOED LATER IN THAT GAME. What the fuck does a guy have to do just to get a pass for one night, nevermind a couple weeks?

Guys have slow starts all the time. He clearly hasn't just forgotten how to hit and he'll obviously produce big time over the season. His production isn't the sole or even main reason that they've lost all the games to the Sox so far. The Yanks have a decent team but with some real holes in the lineup and in the bullpen. The dropoff from Tex to all the other players in term of being hitting threats is so steep that he's going to get a lot more garbage thrown at him that's not going to give him much to hit. Like it or not, having ARod back in this lineup hitting after him is going to be huge and it's almost a lock to see his numbers shoot up because pitchers are going to have to go at him so much more.

[joeyballsack]

Ya know what..fuck you Yankee fans. All we have heard for years is how the Yankee's can go out at any time and get whatever player they want. Well..that has caught up with you now in ticket prices and your jumping off the bandwagon.

You reap what you sow. You have an All Star team now and the majority of the fan base can't afford to see them.

Yup. I paid these free agents. Yup, I... Along with all these other Yankee fans here made Yankee policy when it came to drafting and free agency. Thank you for pointing that out. Yes, I along with every other Yankee fan out there berated the organization for years to shit can that garbage of a stadium they had for 85 years to build a brand new one and similarly demanded ticket prices price me out along with everyone else who has had season tickets some their whole adult life time. Thank you for placing the blame where blame is due. The phone calls that WFAN fields should be taken as the life pulse of what the majority of fans feel about the organization. Thank you for your insight.

Lisa from Whitestone is an insufferable cunt.

i cant believe how much i miss A-Rod

[TheGameHHH]

have you ever had him on your team?

[TjM]

have you ever had him on your team?

No but we tried once. It ended up blowing up in our faces but the title at the end of the year made up for it

[foodcourtdruide]

have you ever had him on your team?

I can honestly say no.

[TheMojoPin]

have you ever had him on your team?

Pretty much everyone who isn't a Yankee fan would want him on their team.

[brettmojo]

Pretty much everyone who isn't a Yankee fan would want him on their team.
Don't say that to a Sox's fan. It's worked out pretty well for them so far.

[TheGameHHH]

Right and at the same time you'll never understand what it's like to have him

We're basically blacks. Yankee fans are now basically the blacks and every other person who is a fan of another team are the whites trying to tell us they understand how we feel about being black.

That's an excellent summation!

I don't understand this analogy at all. Can you please elaborate.

I'd take him over Lugo at short immediately

[TheMojoPin]

Good Lord, stop talking like the Yankees and being a fan of them is some unique experience.

[brettmojo]

I don't understand this analogy at all. Can you please elaborate.
If you're white... There's no way you can understand what it's like when someone calls you a nigger. Correct? As a white man you can't understand what it's like to be black and be called a nigger. So really there's no way you can go to a black man and say,"You know, I understand how it feels... I get it." Because there's no way that you do get it. You don't get it. You have no idea how it feels. So you really have no idea what it feels like to be black.

That's exactly how it feels to be a Yankee fan when anyone else talks about Arod. You don't understand.

There's a South Park episode that truly expresses the concept a lot better than I can though.

[razorboy]

And you have no idea what it's like to be a Sox fan when people talk about Ortiz. Or a Cards fan when people talk about Pujols. Or a Dodgers fan when people talk about Manny. Or a Mets fan when people talk about Delgado. Grow the fuck up.

Yeah, it's much easier to watch the Nigger-Guy episode of South Park.

[TheGameHHH]

funny episode, but it's probably easier to just drop the analogy all together

Being a fan of the only team that EVERY OTHER FAN OF BASEBALL HATES is unique in itself.

[brettmojo]

They should leave you alone. That LA Dodger leaving your team not only took away your cleanup hitter but it cost you the guy hitting in front of him as well... :lol:

[TheGameHHH]

God i love Nick Swisher.....when i go to the stadium im gonna try and get swish to leap and high five me at the right field wall.

and why wouldnt bartlett lead off the game with a home run?

[brettmojo]

God i love Nick Swisher.....when i go to the stadium im gonna try and get swish to leap and high five me at the right field wall.

Oh that's what happened? I turned the game on just in time to see Nick looking up at the wall.

[TheGameHHH]

Oh that's what happened? I turned the game on just in time to see Nick looking up at the wall.

yep.....but it doesnt really matter what happened. its just safe to assume that when a game starts and it involves the 2009 Yankees, theyre automatically losing as fast as possible.

[TheGameHHH]

and in case anyone is curious, im sure Jeff Neimann (who?) will light up the Yanks lineup tonight

[brettmojo]

Speaking of lighting up Jeter has certainly been the opposite of that since his hot start the first week or two of the season.

I think he needs some sort of prescription to increase HIS sex drive.

[cougarjake13]

and in case anyone is curious, im sure Jeff Neimann (who?) will light up the Yanks lineup tonight




decent pitching prospect


price is better though

[TheMojoPin]

Some of the details change, but at the end of the day it's being a baseball fan. Prima dona baseball superstars are nothing new. Steroid scadals are nothing new. The Yanks, and their fans, aren't dealing with anything from ARod that the game hasn't seen before. It's certainly enhanced by the size of the market and the legacy of the team, but it's not radically different to the point that "nobody who isn't a Yankees fan just doesn't get it, maaaaaaannnnn."

[TheMojoPin]

That's ridiculous.

Beyond the obvious reasons, if I want to go along these silly lines, I grew up a Bulls fan when they won their threepeats. I know what it's like the be a fan of a major market dynasty team with the best player in the game who "everyone hates." It's not that unusual or special.

I'll even argue that just being a baseball fan in general is unique. what you like about the game i might not like. you might dig a pitchers duel, while i like hitting homeruns (cause chicks dig the long ball and you love dudes). but thats beside the point, being a fan of a certain team is absolutely unique in regard to being a fan of another team. each team has their history, their park, their players and they play their style of baseball. i just cant agree with you on this one.

yes it is.....not every team even comes close to having the greatest player ever or winning titles. how can you not see that this is unique?

Yes, like I said, those details are different, but dealing with things like player scandals aren't unique to the Yankees.

[TheMojoPin]

yes it is.....not every team even comes close to having the greatest player ever or winning titles. how can you not see that this is unique?

Because it's not unique. Just because a player isn't the "best ever" doesn't mean that there aren't plenty of great players to go around and all their baggage. Contrary to popular belief, the Yankees don't hae the market cornered on great players or player scandals.

when did i once say having a player scandal on the Yankees was unique? seriously. cause now i dont think we've even arguing about the same thing

[brettmojo]

Thank god for Damon.

[JPMNICK]

the stadium sounds a lot louder tonight then it has, anyone else noticing this?

[TheMojoPin]

when did i once say having a player scandal on the Yankees was unique? seriously. cause now i dont think we've even arguing about the same thing

I can't imagine what else this is about since the whole thing started over ARod.

[JPMNICK]

back to back homeruns off Mo to win the game

this season is killing me so far

[Hottub]

I never thought I would see Mariano get tagged like that. I can't remember when I've ever even seen him pulled.

[JPMNICK]

I never thought I would see Mariano get tagged like that. I can't remember when I've ever even seen him pulled.

i was just thinking the same thing. i think out of respect you leave him in there to pitch out of it. torre would never have pulled him. then again I do not think there is much precedent for this.

[RingWraith]

i was just thinking the same thing. i think out of respect you leave him in there to pitch out of it. torre would never have pulled him. then again I do not think there is much precedent for this.

Actually, Torre did pulled him back in '06 or '07, when Mo got tagged for 4 runs against the Red Sox.

It is the first time he has ever given up back-to-back HRs in his career, and in a non-save situation. It wouldn't have made a hell of a lot of sense to keep him in.

[A.J.]

Miracle of miracles: we actually got a baseball game over here. I caught the last 3 innings of last night's game and saw history in the 9th.

And here comes A-Rod

Kay, "a fairy tale swing!"

U can't make that shit up!

Ha! :lol:

[joeyballsack]

Pussies..they should have drilled him right in the ribs.

[drjoek]

To quote Eastbound and Down
Fuck you I'm Alex Rodriquez

[slurp mercury]

Pretty sure he got tipped on that pitch.

"Crowd still buzzing on that one.." Even though it's now a silent BALTIMORE crowd.

[slurp mercury]

Pussies..they should have drilled him right in the ribs.

I agree, but it's tough when you walk 2 of the first 3 batters in front of him. Good old Baltimore pitching staff.

[TheGameHHH]

Gary Thone just called it "baseball history", so everyone should quit raggin on Kay.

[joeyballsack]

I still put him on base and take my chances against Swisher.

The sad truth is that that HR gives him like a week's worth of acceptance from Yankee fans, tops.

Oh sure, you're right. Stalin wasn't bad because Hitler was too. Good point wizard. Are you truly trying to fill the BDC role on purpose, or is it just a yank fan norm?!

Tell us more about how it's soooo hard to be a yankee fan. I need a good laugh.

KAY sucks!

who said he wasnt as bad?! its just funny when haters try to jump on the first dumb thing a Yankees announcer says without ever realizing other announcers suck just as much. if u want to actualy be accurate it would actually be like you ignoring everything Stalin did and just talking about how awful hitler was.

and find me the post where i said it was hard being a yankees fan. i think you just like making shit up and reading what you think you want to read.

Nope, he has until the next time the Yanks are behind after he finishes his at bat, even if he comes up in the bottom of the 1st and hits a grand slam after the other team scored 9 runs in the top of the inning.

We are in Baltimore right now, and we were listening to the O's announcers, and they were incredulous when A-Rod hit that HR. I can only imagine how Waldman and Sterling were reacting.

[foodcourtdruide]

We are in Baltimore right now, and we were listening to the O's announcers, and they were incredulous when A-Rod hit that HR. I can only imagine how Waldman and Sterling were reacting.

I've always thought kay, sterling and waldman were terrible, but I figured that was just cause I'm a Mets fan. Are they truly terrible? Can someone neutral give an opinion?

[drjoek]

I've always thought kay, sterling and waldman were terrible, but I figured that was just cause I'm a Mets fan. Are they truly terrible? Can someone neutral give an opinion?

I dont know if I am neutral as a Yankee fan but I think I can give a fairly unbiased opinion

Waldman is an atrocity no two ways about it. She does not belong in the booth. If you had to give her a positive aspect it would be .............
i got nothing

Kay is ok he does call a fair game. He does feel able to be critical of the Yankees on occasion which is a reasonable expectation. He gets over excited at times. He isnt as much of a homer as some other teams announcers, RedSox come to mind.

Sterling I for one am a fan. I can absolutely appreciate that he would drive people nuts. But the things that drive others nuts are what endears him to me. The hystrionics and the catch phrases are enjoyable to me. They are predictable and they bring excitement to what is suppose to be the "exciting " part of a game. He does not take himself too serious with these things. Why shouldnt a homerun be given the big time treatment. Or the yankees win Its entertainment. Again others will hate this shit but I like it.
Other positives. He paints a great word picture. By that I mean he is good at letting you know what is going on, if you tune in he seemlessly lets you know the inning count score batter pitcher etc without it being a drone. He is often completely wrong on pitch location and can fumble around with stuff but generally he is on top of delivering the facts.
I have found other teams announcers cant always do this. Tune into a game on MLB XM and some places I have no idea what is going on in a game.

Consistency Sterling does play by play of every inning of every game. He has not missed a game, spring training through WS in all the time he has had this gig. Hes not sharing these duties since Waldman cant handle play bu play.

negatives
He paints a glorious picture of every situation. He can put a positive spin on any thing. Noone is ever slumping or getting shelled they are just about ready to break out or there fast ball is coming around.
He can be very inaccurate. While he is good at painting a word picture. He can be wrong fairly often. i get a kick out of the inaccurate homerun calls etc "It is high it is far it is caught" makes me laugh sure it pisses others off.


Id keep Sterling ,Ditch Waldman
Kay is fine, doesnt bother me that much because TV is visual and he is less important plus he is surrounded by quality guys in the booth.

[brettmojo]

I've always thought kay, sterling and waldman were terrible, but I figured that was just cause I'm a Mets fan. Are they truly terrible? Can someone neutral give an opinion?
Waldman has something on someone. I can't imagine any other reason she would have a job where she has to be either seen or heard.

[TheGameHHH]

HA! (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4155472)

BALTIMORE -- New York Yankees (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/clubhouse?team=nyy) right-hander Joba Chamberlain (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?playerId=28847) broke a blood vessel in his thumb during batting practice Saturday, leaving his status for Sunday in doubt.


Chamberlain was scheduled to start in the finale of a three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/clubhouse?team=bal).


Chamberlain was throwing a ball underhanded back to the infield when he felt something pop in his right thumb.


"He threw a ball in and he looked down at his thumb and he felt something and looked at it. He popped a blood vessel and he got some treatment during the game," manager Joe Girardi said late Saturday night. "We don't think it will be an issue but we have to protect ourselves."


Gene Monahan, the Yankees' head trainer, told Girardi he didn't think the injury would be an issue.


"Joba was able to grip the ball tonight during the game," Girardi said. "We'll know fairly quickly when he starts warming up if he can go."


If Chamberlain is unable to go, Girardi said Alfredo Aceves (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?playerId=29223) will make his first start of the season.


Chamberlain is 1-1 with a 3.77 ERA in six starts this year.

[brettmojo]

No one chargers K-Rod or says shit about him.

So it's just Joba? He's the only one that should box his emotions up to please the whiny bitches who don't like it? It's retarded.

[walking joint]

those guys do it closing out games. at least they are accomplishing something. Joba does it in games he is losing. i really have no problems with it from anyone. I'm a Yanks fan and thought Huff doing it was great.

i dont think Joba should hit Huff, he should come up and in on him though. just buzz him a little bit.

Huff was showboating at first and when he crossed the plate He should get one between the numbers next time no matter what the game circimstances are. It time to stop acting like eveyrone else bitch and stop appologizing for Joba. If peope dont like it Fuck em
If the Yankees had any balls anymore that would show theyre not a bunch of pussies and go after the next guy. It reminds me of last year when the RedSox went 4 HRs in a row of the rookie and they yankees did nothing. It pisses me off no end that they wont stand up and stop being pushed around.

its dead til he reaches 2nd. But it goes back to the pitcher. Once the guy passes second, he is technically heading to third and is fair game.

Otherwise guys couldnt go from 1st to 3rd on a WP ball 4. They would have to stop at second, and they dont

interesting......so the runner designates when the ball becomes live again?

[Snoogans]

well sorta. its always a live ball persay, you just cant record an out til he touches second. You can throw the ball where ever you want, though. Almost like how you would snap throw to first. You throw to second. He gets 2nd free, but if you step passed it, why wouldnt he be out?

[brettmojo]

interesting......so the runner designates when the ball becomes live again?
If you sprint to first to beat out a ground ball make it safe they can't chase you down the 1st base line and tag you out. You're allowed to run through the bag. But if you make any motion to head for 2nd the ball is live again and they can tag you out.

all I know is Red Sox fans would know the rules

we were always taught to turn right at first if it was a close play there. turning left you were still live, but it seems this doesn't carry over to the bigs. then again, neither does the strike zone.

I'll buy some onion rings... for the table.

No thanks, cooked onion gives me the nastiest gas imaginable.

I don't care how good the seats are. For the last time NO ONE HERE WANTS TO SIT ON YOUR LAP!

What if he offers his daughter sitting in your lap?

mine looks like it is coming in nicely. but do not forget, pettite will be at 100 pitches by the 6th inning, which means middle relief for 3

I don't think it was done with intent to distract, just to be hilarious.

I enjoyed that A-rod tipped a foul ball and it went straight into the masked ump's chest.
