Damn. He did get squeezed, but it also sucks the air out of us. Our offense has to come up with a big inning.

STOP THROWING THE CHANGEUP GARLAND!

 

P.S.- feel free to get ejected anytime you want Ozzie. It can't do anything but energize this team.

Must we hear this every night by Hawk? Johnson has hung a few over the plate and we haven't capitalized. The Yanks have.

I would say something about how Garland is getting his name in the Cy Young race, but it would hurt too much.

Couldn't we have traded 4 crappy prospects for Abreu?

The pitch to Jeter should have been a strike. The pitch to Abreu was a blatant ball.

And eat his contract? Unless you don't want an entire 25 man roster next year with major league players, no.

The changeup is dangerous to hitters when he mixes it in with his 2 seamer, but the thing is, most people don't want Garland throwing his fastball that much. Just his sinker. Just remember, we've seen Garland at his most dominant(last year in playoffs against Angels), when he's thrown and spotted his 4seam, 2seam and changeup. Just food for thought though.

NO s***! He seems like he's playin his good-guy PR card any more. 3 games in a row gettin friggin squeezed.

Your defending World Champs folks...

 

A BIG F'N JOKE

the New York Rentastar's. I'm going to enjoy watching the comeback even more tonight than last.

hello 3rd place

But I was told that money isn't an issue anymore? :P

I just knew Abreu would get his homer against us.

It's the top of the 5th guys....just to let you all know.

Are people still saying the Abreu trade won't help the Yankees that much?

 

Oh, and this inning has sucked all of the momentum out of the team that they gained last night. More and more, I'm starting to believe this team is like every other Sox team pre-2005. We just keep waiting for that magical spark to send us on that definitive streak, and it never comes or they never capitalize on said spark.

Rent-a-stars? They have more homegrown players in their lineup than we do.

psst, they've won 7 out of their last 11. Get real if you think they'll win every game.

 

Plus, this game isn't over, nor is any game, until the final out.

Quick question: which one of our starters is actually reliable?

At least Garland's pissed about that inning.

Brian Cashman gave the Yankees a HUGE lift at the deadline. Abreu was struggling in Philly, but that team also has a terrible psyche going. Being around professional hitters was definitely going to bring out his strengths again.

I am too. Big deal.

None. The only one who I feel confident about when I go to sleep at night is Contreras.

I just want to say this:

 

Jon has pitched an amazing game. Without the umps f***ing him over, the score would not be as it is. Also the 2 HR's were hitters who were fooled and just threw their arms at the ball.

 

If we get this Jon Garland every game, we will win a s***load of games.
