New York Yankees Thread - 2009 World Champions

[Tenbatsuzen]

Does anyone know a place that can stitch a good looking number onto the back of a replica Yankee jersey? I bought a blank, and I just want to get a number WITH NO NAME.

[TheGameHHH]

two series in a row.......what!!

[Tenbatsuzen]

My wife rules.

She was in NYC today and got me an authentic (no name) Joba Chamberlain jersey, with the Last Season at Yankee Stadium patch.

Awesome. I'm bowled over.

A shirt another man wears gives you a boner?

i have no shame in talking about Jeters boner inducing abilities on me.

It's not gay if it's just a clothing boner.

Wooohooo! Brett Gardner inside the park Home Run!

Nicely done speedy!

[drjoek]

Gardner inside the park homer!

[Kevin]

It was kinda tough seeing Tino Paul and Cone in the same booth, then watching this team not get it done in the clutch. You see how different these bums are to those guys.

[Kevin]

The Kids doing the work of the overpaid veterans.

[hammersavage]

Go ARod! Thanks for fleecing us for another $300 million even though you knew you were a steroid user. You've been nothing but a distraction for the past 6 months. You've never smelled a remotely big hit! But we love you because you are ours!



It ok to boo you douchebags

[Tenbatsuzen]

Great game. We had a blast at the stadium.

High points:

This "gestapo security" that Abraham was talking about was non-existent. Everybody, from the Customer Service reps to the security guards were cool and knowledgeable.

The Garlic Fries. Jesus christ.

6 dollar beers. But I realized that two six dollar beers comprise the 10 dollar souvenir cup beers. Why? The calorie counts. It listed the 6 dollar beer at 100 calories, and the 10 dollar beer at 200 calories.

The hot dogs were delicious, the sodas were cold and bubbly, not syrupy.

Low points:

Really fucking expensive.

Brother Jimmy's BLOWS at the stadium. Not enjoyable.

There's no camera perch to get the perfect "stadium shot" like there was at the old place. If you want to set up for a wide shot of the stadium, you'll invariably be in someone's way.

[TheGameHHH]

so......awesome Fox Saturday baseball has todays game blocked for me. whats the haps?

[Tenbatsuzen]

What? I thought Fox's saturday games aren't til 4pm. It's on Yes.

[TheGameHHH]

What? I thought Fox's saturday games aren't til 4pm. It's on Yes.

yea, and on saturdays Fox owns exclusive rights to air the first game. so when you buy the MLB package and try to watch out of market games, you cant on saturdays until the 4pm game. all games will obviously air regionally, so youll get YES in the NY/NJ area but if youre out of market you cant see it because Fox has the exclusive rights. I learned this last season and it was devestating

At this point for 2009, Melky is still more clutch than A-Rod.

i had to go out for a little bit so i caught a few innings of john and suzyn on XM but im not paying anymore money to MLB, so getting the tv on my computer isnt an option.

He was given a green light. Mauer actually made a good play, not Gardner making a bad one.

Please tell me he isn't doing live reads for the vendors. I hope it was just his goofball stuff and not trying to work Johnny Rockets in since they're now in the stadium.
Maybe Sterling just had a burger and got inspired.

is it really that different from "this bud's for you?" didn't the mets used to do something wacky for ballantine's?

[Kevin]

No, they showed in on YES, Thompson was pointing to 3rd telling him to stop. No way u go there. Cervelli was gunna beat that out and it would be 1st 3rd 1 out.

Its a moot point because of Damon but that could have cost them the game.

[foodcourtdruide]

is it really that different from "this bud's for you?" didn't the mets used to do something wacky for ballantine's?

Why do people defend how awful sterling is with comparing him to the mets announcers? Sterling and waldmann are one of the worst broadcasting duos I've ever heard, period.

[Tenbatsuzen]

QFT. Sterling wouldn't be so bad if he had someone halfway competent in there with him.

well, the ballantine's reference would have been like 30 some odd years ago, if it ever took place.

i think it's hilarious though, how everyone loved kay and sterling when they were together on the radio, now a short few years later everyone hates them both.

i actually disagree but i only saw the replay. with garnders speed the only way they are throwing him out is with a fantastic play, which Mauer made. they got beat, but 7 or 8 times of out 10 they score there. you take that chance.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Given Gardner's speed and shaved head, I think he needs to be renamed "Flash".

[Doctor Z]

Can we make it FOUR WALK-OFF'S IN A ROW?? We have to be approaching some kind of record here...

[Tenbatsuzen]

Because the newspaper industry sucks a fat dick, Big A is on a forced unpaid vacation this week.

Whatever will BDC do?

Mark Teixeira has officially ARRIVED.

Wow, did he fucking CRUSH that ball. Upper deck in this park is almost unobtainable and he basically missed it by 2 feet. Jesus.

Anyone think it's a coincidence that the day Tino came to town and had a talk with him, he immediately got hot?

yes, its actually completely coincidental

[TheMojoPin]

Yeah, Tex's hitting has absolutely nothing to do with one of the greatest hitters in baseball returning to the lineup to hit after him. It's due to a pep talk from Tino.

Don't let BDC steal your account like that.

[HBox]

I don't think anyone who has heard Tino Martinez speak thinks he could motivate anyone to do anything.

[drjoek]

Good to have Bruney back.

yes, it always goes under the radar how much he was missed last year as well.

either way, great win tonight. 7 in a row!

I'm scared.

If Mo pitches the 9th, I'm suing Joe Girardi.

[Doctor Z]

What. The. Fuck.

Joe... are you serious?

[Tenbatsuzen]

What. The. Fuck.

Joe... are you serious?

Bad move, but Mo did only throw 14 pitches.

[TheGameHHH]

i wish i sat in on Kangaroo Court today

[HBox]

i thought when we got rid of Torre this whole "Let's bring in Mo in the eighth and even though the game turned into the blowout and we had guys warming up Mo still pitches the ninth" bullshit.

[Doctor Z]

Bad move, but Mo did only throw 14 pitches.

After sitting for 22 minutes... and then gave up another HR (5th already this year -- he gave up 4 TOTAL all of last year), which can't be good for his ego... or his ERA.

Absolutely no reason to run him out there in an 11-3 game. And God forbid he gets hurt in that situation? That's just a bonehead move on Joe's part.

Apparently Mo wanted in the game to finish it and Joe deferred to him.

[Marc with a c]

he left him in simply so he could get the save.

[Doctor Z]

I like to refer to that as "silly goosery."

You're not the only dude. I hear that weird hight pitch ringing too. And for some reason it only starts during a the pitch and stops after it's caught or hit.

what happened to joba

first inning he took a ball right in the leg off of adam jones. he kept limping and trying to work through it for the next two batters but girardi saw how bad he was limping and took him out

Fuck you Joe Buck and Tim McCarver.

[K.C.]

is this kid gonna get playing time? im thinking of picking him up in fantasy, i already put a waiver claim in. he has a good swing, his dad played pro and he's got size.

I like Mayberry a lot. I saw him extensively when I went down to Spring Training this year and he raked, and absolutely crushed fastballs.

The problem is he could use more development, so I think it's unlikely he settles in to a bench/platoon role as of now. He most likely goes back to Triple-A after Sunday.

That said, the Phils designated Miguel Cairo for assignment, so they need a right-handed bat off the bench.

Still, I'd be surprised if this is any more than a brief call-up.

He has a great ceiling though if he can show he can hit off-speed stuff.

[Kevin]

This guy is fucking throwing slop out there and you cant hit him

Happ led Triple-A in strikeouts last year, and was one of the best pitchers in the International League.

That said, yeah, he's throwing almost all fastballs. It's unfathomable how the Yankees aren't hitting him, especially the second time through.

i read a pretty decent commentary this week from Sam Borden (i think thats his name) in the journal news blog which he defended the launching pad that is Yankee Stadium. after reading it i kinda agreed with him. even if it is a home run park, whats the big deal? nobody is hitting home runs at citi field, does that make it a better place? the yankees play at the park too, its just as much of an advantage to them as it is to other teams, perhaps more so to the yanks cause they have more potential big bats then most teams. so why all the complaining?

since you spend most of your time watching NL games, ill clue you in on why. the yankees simply dont hit pitchers they dont know. it doesnt matter who it is. instead of throwing hamels tomorrow the phils could call up some guy from AAA to start and he'd go head to head with sabathia. its an odd phenomenon.

Every Goddamn fly ball hit remotly well goes out. Its a fucking Joke. Unless you REALLY overpay a pitcher, they are not gunna wanna come here.

That just means the Yankees are going to...*gasp*...produce homegrown pitchers.

Oh, the horrors of having to use the farm system!

The Phillies had to do the same thing. That's how they ended up with Hamels, Myers, Happ, Madson, etc.

[TheGameHHH]

Every Goddamn fly ball hit remotly well goes out. Its a fucking Joke. Unless you REALLY overpay a pitcher, they are not gunna wanna come here.

you have 4 of 5 potential starters virtually locked up for the next couple of years, what pitcher do they really need to go after right now? plus if the pitchers do their job and lock down the hitters, it wont make a difference anyway

Phils are the same way, actually.

The Yanks should have brought back Dan Giese just for this series.

So is Arod a real Yankee NOW?

Someone insert him over Pujols:

I didn't know teams were allowed to score multiple runs with as bad as the Cubs have been lately. Nice win, Yanks.

[Tenbatsuzen]

he's so not clutch....lets get bob cano home here and call it a day

I'm short some dairy products. If only if there was someone who could bring them to my house.

[Kevin]

Hey K.C...

WHAT KINDA BOMB WAS THAT??


SUCK IT BRAD LIDGE

[Kevin]

I'm short some dairy products. If only if there was someone who could bring them to my house.

DONT WORRY;..

Gotta give it up...nice win.

Good thing Hamels is pitching tomorrow. I want this series.

[Kevin]

He is going against an OK pitcher tomorrow...

Maybe we'll only see 4 homeruns total tomorrow.

[Kevin]

Maybe we'll only see 4 homeruns total tomorrow.

Dare i say THREE??

[FezsAssistant]

Fuck you Joe Buck and Tim McCarver.

I'm not sure who is worse: Buck and McCarver or the ESPN crew.

A few weeks ago on the Sunday Night game, the entire ESPN crew destroyed every single aspect of the entire Yankees organization...young, old, players, management, ownership, stadium, friends, relatives and on-lookers. It was amazing to hear how over-the-top biased they were. Then the Yankees won 9 in a row. haha.

[hammersavage]

Thank you

[FezsAssistant]

Every Goddamn fly ball hit remotly well goes out. Its a fucking Joke. Unless you REALLY overpay a pitcher, they are not gunna wanna come here.

you don't watch many games, do ya?

[Kevin]

you don't watch many games, do ya?

umm there have been 87Hrs hit in Yankee stadium this year...

So Yes i do...

[hexy68]

Dammit Lidge! WTF!!! :furious:

[brettmojo]

you don't watch many games, do ya?
He's right.

The catcher from the Angels flicked a homerun 10 rows into the right field seats. Not down the line, straight out in right field.

It's too much of an extreme.

[cougarjake13]

Dammit Lidge! WTF!!! :furious:

was bound to happen he couldnbt be perfect for ever

[sailor]

He's right.

The catcher from the Angels flicked a homerun 10 rows into the right field seats. Not down the line, straight out in right field.

It's too much of an extreme.

mike napoli? he hits monstrous homers and has a ton of power. jesus, he hit 20 homers in just 227 at-bats last year. you'll need to finda better example than him.

[brettmojo]

I'm sure there's video somewhere. It was flicked. It wasn't smashed, it wasn't drilled... He flung the bat at it and it sailed right out. It was a little leaguer swing.

[sailor]

by a guy with legit power.

[TheMojoPin]

by a guy with legit power.

I hate to say it, but sailor is on to (but he still really sucks) something. You'll see good hitters with power drive out balls with the ugliest, goofiest swings. I saw Adrian Gonzalez knock one out of Petco last night basically hurling the bat almost level with his face.

[Tenbatsuzen]

The Yankees are now...

one HALF game out.

[Tenbatsuzen]

He's right.

The catcher from the Angels flicked a homerun 10 rows into the right field seats. Not down the line, straight out in right field.

It's too much of an extreme.

So how is that a problem with the new stadium? 10 rows back would have been out of the old stadium as well.

The main complaints are the HRs that land just barely out. Ibanez fucking CRUSHED shit. These aren't cheap home runs because the field dimensions are a little smaller.

It's a wind thing, sure, but the wind sure as shit wasn't swirling today.

[furie]

fuck, i missed the end of the game. i left at the top of the 9th when it was 4-2 Phillies. I had to run out to get pizza.

ah well at least it's a win

[TheGameHHH]

I hate to say it, but sailor is on to (but he still really sucks) something. You'll see good hitters with power drive out balls with the ugliest, goofiest swings. I saw Adrian Gonzalez knock one out of Petco last night basically hurling the bat almost level with his face.

And good power hitters hit bad pitches far too, just just weak swings on good pitches. i saw aubrey huff yesterday hit a pitch that shouldnt have been hit over the right field wall.

[cougarjake13]

a-rod has been clutch here in his return


and notice how theres not much talk about the steroids anymore

Ahhhhh, poor poor yankee fans. I feel your pain, really I do.

So win 9 in a row and all is fine huh? Still not in first and it's amazing how yank fans can't take an ounce of heat from announcers that have licked their asses for the last two fucking decades. Oh and congrats on the recovery in that fucking awful bandbox. Who would think 200 million plus would keep a team in a 182 game race?! HA!

You can't have it both ways. The complaint was first about right field, but that went to left.

COLE HAMMELS THAT PITCHES IN CITIZENS BANK PARK WAS ANNOYED..

Like a pitcher should be joyous that his lead was just cut in half to one run with 4 innings to go?

It's not like guys like Kevin Cash are hitting monstrous HR's. The guys who should hit HRs are getting HR's.

Can't bitch about a 9 & 2 homestand, but DAMN that game was the Yanks for the taking. That was quite a fun series to watch, though.

[brettmojo]

Everyone in baseball is saying the park is ridiculous, everyone. How is that ignored here by some people?

im not ignoring the fact that a lot of home runs are being hit there. my point is, so what?

[Bossanova]

That stadium is a fucking joke. No pitcher will sign with them, much like many dont want to play in Col. Many lower tier players number are going to balloon because of pars like this and create a bullshit market. Not to mention it just cheapens the home run and the drama of a late inning shot. For as team that prides itself on the past and the tradition of the game, they certainly jumped on the bandwagon of lots of homers pleases the idiots

So I take it you're pleased?

[Kevin]

And this "you will have to develop your own pitchers" argument is retarded..

How can you develop a young pitcher when they are scared that one mistake by them and the ball is 20 rows back.

[Bossanova]

So I take it you're pleased?

Nothing makes me happier to see the Yanks suck a dick, bt this stadium is much like every other band box that is making the home run, the hall of fame and the sport a joke. Basically everyone hates guys for juicing to hit home runs, yet they are cool with the league moving walls in to 295 feet so these same guys have it easier to hit homers. August is going to be a bitch for a pennant race when the Blue Jays come to toawn and their 9th hitter puts up his 4th jack of the night to win 23-21

[Bossanova]

And this "you will have to develop your own pitchers" argument is retarded..

Adam Kennedy had that problem before this stadium.

no MLB pitcher should ever be scared. if youre scared to throw a pitch, you dont belong at the big league level.

[Kevin]

Ask Cole Hamels.

He plays in the NL. Granted your park is a band box.

But the NL has 2-3 auto outs in every linup in the bottom.

The AL does not. The DH makes that argument waayyy weak.

[Kevin]

Its going to be great for Hughes to get out of Yankee stadium and play in a less HR happy park... IN TEXAS!

[Kevin]

no MLB pitcher should ever be scared. if youre scared to throw a pitch, you dont belong at the big league level.

Every young pitcher takes their hits when they first come up. But in this park, the smallest mistake will kill you. That is not good for a young pitchers confidence.

Bruney to the DL.....again......awesome

red hats?

...are they serious?

[Tenbatsuzen]

red hats?

They had blue hats with stars and stripes in the logos for fourth of july last year, but these red hats are just awful. There's a ton of ways you could remember troops with a special hate... differentiating from the teams colors and logos is just garish.

Nice of Phil Hughes to end that inning before 3 so they could do the salute.

[HBox]

Those hats are red because they were dyed with the blood of fallen soldiers. So obviously if you hate the hats you hate the soldiers blood which keeps soldiers alive so therefore: If you hate the hats you want soldiers to die. You motherfuckers!

[FezsAssistant]

umm there have been 87Hrs hit in Yankee stadium this year...

So Yes i do...

There have been a lot of well hit balls that didn't go out, too. I was calling you out on exaggerating so much.
By your rationale, every well hit ball goes out in every stadium, b/c a well hit ball is defined by being a home run.

[TheGameHHH]

For someone who has been as injury prone as Hughes I'd rather not have him stretch himself past 100 pitches to complete a 11-0 game.

i'd rather not see him or joba throw 8 spectacular innings, id rather they just rotted away in the bullpen and threw maybe like 3 innings a week each.

[FezsAssistant]

Ahhhhh, poor poor yankee fans. I feel your pain, really I do.

So win 9 in a row and all is fine huh? Still not in first and it's amazing how yank fans can't take an ounce of heat from announcers that have licked their asses for the last two fucking decades. Oh and congrats on the recovery in that fucking awful bandbox. Who would think 200 million plus would keep a team in a 182 game race?! HA!

retard, the other teams were hitting in the same stadium, too. how come the small stadium gets the credit for yankee HR's and no credit for visiting team HR's?
I bet you love Obama.

[HBox]

I totally understand what you're saying, but I really wanted to see him complete it.

I wish he could have completed it too. Once he throws 200 innings in one season, even if its 200 innings in the majors and minors combined, then I'd be comfortable with him stretching himself to get a complete game.

Until then I just hope he can pitch games like this consistently outside of Texas.

[HBox]

I bet you love Obama.

[Freitag]

this is kinda weird/interesting.

I used my credit card once at the New Stadium, paid for everything else in cash. For some reason, the charge I had at the stadium showed up as "pending" and then vanished. It's been over a week later, charge still hasn't shown up.

Also, when I was at the stadium, I paid in cash for a bunch of stuff. The person taking more order saw my reaction to the total and then knocked six bucks off.
