Rivera saving that one was as automatic as it gets. Like I said I've NEVER said that on this site, oh we will lose this one before the game is over. Mariano Rivera is clearly an exception to that rule.

Well at least Juan will probably steal second. Ha, nevermind never got a chance to.

Walks don't bother Mariano. But Beckham has got to steal second base here. Mariano's cutter is DP worthy all the time.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 03:30 PM) Ground out to short or 3rd? EDIT: Yup No better than Teahen. Both guys would K easily. At least Teahen hit the ball in the air.

Man... its gonna be hard losing 2-1 like this. I never say this (oh were gonna lose before the game is over) with any other closer in the league... except Mariano Rivera.

Teahen.

Go damn girls, keep your s*** clean at all fukin times. j4l is always clean/ Never done it. Was never my style. Someday maybe if I know the chick for a while...

QUOTE (mcgrad70 @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 09:52 PM) Manny is not coming here. And quite frankly, it's not like our offense has been bad lately anyway. We've got bigger issues now. Our bullpen (minus Sale) has been horrible and injured lately, our starting pitching (minus Jackson and Buehrle) hasn't been that great this month of August.

Dan LeFevour looks much better in this game than previous. Obviously more experience is paying off. Nice looking QB prospect though. I'm not paying much attention to who wins this game, but decisions like kicking a FG when your 10 yards away in the red zone, in the 3rd quarter (in a preseason game to boot) makes me really hate Lovie Smith and his little to no balls.

If we lose tomorrow (and the Twins win), don't even give the Dodgers a prospect. Either they pull him back or give to us for free if I'm KW, barring money issues.

Can't even get mad. Great thing to tell your kids you got to watch a legend close games for the Yankees growing up. The fact we got 2 runners on to give us a slight chance is amazing in itself.

f***.. I was hoping Girardi let that pitcher face one more guy before bringing in Mariano. God dammit.

Alexei and Rios are trying to f*** up my PTC win. QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 08:25 PM) It's funny, in my head I went "There ya go Alexei and Rios! Only 4 more runs!" and then I thought "Oh wait, they still have Rivera in the bullpen..." And he still scares the s*** out of me. Even if we get this thing to one run, I still feel we will lose when he comes on.

I'm praying Sale doesn't blow out his arm something with the way our bullpen has been falling like flies. QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 09:14 PM) Meh, hard to not be satisfied with what Pierre has done this year. More or less just cause he's younger and his OBP is much higher, not to mention Pierre's OBP has been inflated by nearly doubling his HBP this season. Won't complain about Juan however. He's really come on.

Brett Gardner is fun to watch. Always liked him as a player. Wished we could have acquired him in the off-season when the Yanks were shopping him in that period. Oh well.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 08:16 AM) Hah, well then they shouldn't have given up 6 runs! Ya they had the formula right, just forgot the pitching ingredient to go with it.

QUOTE (Elgin Slim @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 01:52 PM) Just heard on the Score that he needs Tommy John surgery after the MRI showed a torn UCL. This sucks. we now only have Sale as a lhp out of the pen. I honestly thought you were kidding and had everyone else fooled.. Wow.

I'm so used to C.C. pitching against Buehrle.. like literally every time they face off. Weird seeing Danks name as a counter part.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 04:20 AM) You're right. But you do have to admit that you were off when you said "Josh Hamilton blows Cabrera out of the water in just about everything though." All you had to say was that defense is what separates the two and I wouldn't have said a thing. It was just a bad day for chw with all the bad worded post. I'm sure he'll bounce back nicely tomorrow. (or technically today)

4 championship trophies + Coach Q throwing a perfect strike to Buehrle on throwing out the first pitch + Hawk and Stone hilarious Hawks gear + Freddy's balls + offense clicking = nice night all around, despite Threets injury and Linebrink being Linebrink.

Konerko.

Happy B-Day Slav.

Nice month for Heidenreich. Kid's command has been miles better this year. My boy Dan Black with a sweet night.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 04:03 PM) I personally don't think it is cheating, that's why I said you COULD argue either way. I've heard a million different view points on this topic, and everybody has a different perspective on what cheating is in baseball. It's a debatable topic. At the least, you can call the A.J. incident extremely controversial. You said CAN not COULD.. I mean honestly most forms of cheating is part of the game. Spit balls/scuffing the ball (vaseline, cream, etc..), pine tar, corked bats, etc.. Hell Joe Mauer still gives signs to hitters what pitches are thrown when he is on second base. PEDs just so happened to be new so it was more scrutinized in the game (and in alot of ways.. rightfully so). Happens in alot of sports. It's not cheating if you don't get caught.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 03:56 PM) Like I said, you can argue both ways on this. Honestly you really can't, since your the only one who thinks it is/was cheating. QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 03:59 PM) I had a Yankees fan tell me that the 09 WS was tainted because A-Rod was on the team. I laugh about that all the time. No doubt. I would as well.
