so if we don't come back and win this thing, Boston's not playing tonight, is that right? So we'd still be 7 back, or 7.5?

Man this road trip is rough. It only gets harder, 3 in Seattle and 3 in Anaheim. Yipes.

7.5 games out if we lose. And Alfredo Aceves should start in Rasners' spot. And I still think Hughes should start Saturday. I hope they bring him up.

igotid88

Now they're doing something. But with 2 outs in the 9th. What happened to the sound? Bob Lorenze is announcing.

igotid88

7-5 now. With A-Rod's 550th HR. Back to back with Jeter.

igotid88

All that for nothing. Damn Yankees.

igotid88

When the sound on the announcers booth went out. The Yankees scored. When it comes back. Nady flies out. So maybe everyone is wrong about A-Rod. Michael Kay is the jinx.

they need to drop Ponson and Rasner off deep in the woods somewhere. Without a map. Try Aceves. Try Hughes. Try Coke. They might get bombed. Key word---might. Everyone knows rasner and Ponson WILL get bombed

igotid88

Melky is coming up tomorrow.

Cashman was there watching with Rich Monteleone. If Aceves doesn't get Rasner's spot next start. Then I don't know what to think. Hughes is slated to pitch Game 4 of the AAA playoffs. That was an if-necessary start. But since Scranton lost today. Looks like he might stay down.

yea that sucked...ran to a bar to watch the giants and yanks after kickoff at Columbus Circle.
We needed to sweep this series :( hope is now fading :mad:

at least the G-men got off to a good start

I can't stand Kay. Lorenz did a much better job broadcasting than Kay did. Kay speaks to hear the sound of his own voice, with his stupid SEE YA home run call. Blech.

A-Rod is the curse on the team. He will be, until he is gone.

And things are looking mighty bleak. Boston hasn't been losing, so even if we sweep Seattle (and Anaheim?) I dont know.

Doesnt look too good for our men in pinstripes.

Think they wouldve went down with more of a fight- especially since its the final saeason in the old house.

thank god the football season is underway, & hockey season is 1 week away from opening up camp.

I hear ya. Definitely need some distractions from this frustrating baseball season. The hockey season can't start soon enough. Go Canes!

Rasner has to get yanked from the rotation. At this point I'd rather someone else get an audition and some experience. Hughes, Aceves, Wright, Giese, Coke.

As far as Joba goes, did they give a reason why he would probably start out in the bullpen next season? Is he still going to be on an innings pitched leash? I thought they were going to send him along with Hughes and Kennedy to pitch fall ball to get more innings.

Ian Kennedy took the loss in Game 2 of the IL playoffs last night. Good outing, no run support. 7 innings, 5 hits, 2 runs. The series is tied 1-1. Kei Igawa gets the start tonight. Bad weather is expected and there may be no game Saturday so Hughes might be a good call up to pitch for the Yanks Saturday. Of course that would mean replacing the stellar Sydney Ponson.

YANKEES SUCK!




Go Sox

igotid88

UGH. The Yanks are being no-hit through 4. And Andy's getting hit again.

igotid88

And it's the Mariners pitcher first start also. Why do they make these guys CY Young?

igotid88

No Yank hits through 5.

BetterThanYou

it will be a complete shocker to me if this team wins 85 games.

igotid88

Now it's 6 innings of no-hit ball.

don't you get it yet? they're saving it all for the ninth, so they can lose by 1 or 2, with the go ahead run on second.

and A-Rod at bat?

Fighting Hellfish

I tip my cap to Morrow. very impressive. First start of his career. I had him on my fantasy team, and he got me some saves. he's got great stuff. He's Seattle's Joba

igotid88

Wilson Betemit breaks up the no-hitter.

igotid88

Pettitte actually pitched well and kept them in the game.

Fighting Hellfish

damn, I thought Abreu's shot was gonna split the outfielders. way to keep the season alive, ARod, thanks. Is 1 9th inning hit too much to ask for?

Fighting Hellfish

now we know what $51 million worth of shit looks like. Thanks ARod & Giambi.

Fighting Hellfish

stickboy

just wondering


hows the ratings gonna be for this yrs playoffs without the Yankees in it for the 1st time in 13 yrs?

and not making the playoffs with a new stadium next yr, how does that affect prices towrds next yr knowing that playoff revenue is HUGE in this day and age?
