The Yanks turn to Andy Pettitte to stop the bleeding tonight in Boston.

Let’s see if the Bombers can sneak away with a “w” or if they’ll be swept away. Got to figure it’ll be a long night.

  1. Good morning! Day off here, sunny outside, Yanks-Sox on tv at 9am..they better win though or else I’ll be joining Kusanagi-san.. http://tinyurl.com/cmj8dp

    Dr. Andy is here, I feel confident!



  2. 2. PJ

    Great job Alex! Perfect motif!

    I have plenty of gauze at the ready!

    ;)



  3. 3. Diane Firstman

    Did anyone see the line drive HR Justin Upton hit …. wow!



  4. 4. Diane Firstman

    My roto team could also use a good performance from Andy tonight …. (I hemorrhaged first place away in 2 days).



  5. 5. PJ

    *throws gauze @ Diane*

    :)



  6. 6. Diane Firstman

    (gauze clangs off my mitt). E7 ….

    :-)



  7. [3] Wow!! Awesome shot..those Upton brothers can play.



  8. 8. PJ

    *throws Barkeepers Friend @ Diane for “frying pan glove”*

    Bad weekend for baseball for me. Yankees lose Friday & Saturday. Mudhens lost Friday, Saturday ( ihate going and watching the home team get shutout) and today. Gotta salvage something here, Jeter & Co.

    C’mon Yankees rescue me!



  10. 10. randym77

    [9] I have to say, though, I laughed at the headline: “Hens Lay Egg.”



  11. Damon isn’t playing?



  12. Is anyone else having trouble logging in with Firefox on Mac? It crashes the program every time I click on “login.” I’m using Safari now, which is less than ideal.

    Just in case the Yankees don’t recover tonight, here’s a fun drinking game: every time Miller, Morgan or Phillips says something stupid, drink. The first one to pass has to buy drinks for everyone else!



  13. 13. Diane Firstman

    Damon lost a battle with the Green Monster …



  14. [12] Already started with Phillips first sentence..
    [13] Oh right..



  15. 15. randym77

    [11] I predicted it!

    Damon crashed into the Green Monster. He stayed in the game, but I kind of expected he would get today off. You don’t feel it until the next day.

    Gardner leading off. Hmmmm….



  16. I like walks but..doesn’t it seem that Tex is a bit too patient?



  17. ESPN ad talking about Buster Olney being “part of the best team in baseball.” Heaven forbid they put that excellent talent in the broadcast booth, though.



  18. 18. The Hawk

    I really don’t want to see Brett Gardner anymore. A .270 OBP? Holy crap.

    This has been a bad weekend but it ain’t the first time. Won’t be the last. Friday was heartbreaking, Saturday a farce. If they can win tonight, I’ll call it even and let’s move on. If they can’t, I won’t be surprised.

    The thing about this team that’s killing me is every starting pitcher has been shellacked at least once, except Pettitte. Tonight’s your chance, Andy!

    Seriously, the starting pitching was supposed to be our strength. Annoying.



  19. Oh no way,,that is NOT Dusty’s AB music!



  20. 20. rbj

    I would have loved to have seen a Pettitte vs. Rickey showdown on base stealing.



  21. 21. tommyl

    That’s better.



  22. YEAHHH! Nice Dp, keep that pitch count down.



  23. Well, that wouldn’t have happened if they shifted.



  24. 24. Cliff Corcoran

    Great, heads-up play by Cano to get that throw to Tex so quickly.



  25. 25. The Hawk

    The truth is, I am jealous of the Red Sox. They have their funky old park, a better team (?) and an apparent curse boomerang that has caught the Yanks flush in the face. I feel doomed. Say it ain’t so.



  26. 26. OldYanksFan

    Ouch… Yankees with the WORST ERA is MLB? My Lord! Maybe 9-8 ain’t bad considering this fact and the injuries to our offense?

    In any event, I find myself watching tonight with my hands over my eyes.



  27. 27. rbj

    You no Big Papi.



  28. 28. randym77

    I’m kinda wishing we’d done what Red Sox Nation did, and gotten our stadium declared a historic landmark, so they couldn’t tear it down.



  29. 29. rbj

    [26] My advice to you is to start drinking heavily.



  30. 30. OldYanksFan

    [25] “….their funky old park”. That’s a very nice way to put it. I consider Fenway to be a joke… a minor league field. It’s fun to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there.



  31. 31. Raf

    [28] That would’ve worked before the renovations in the 70′s. Not so much now.



  32. [26] Yeah, Pythagoras says the Yankees should be 7-10…



  33. Jason Bay batting 6th for the Sox..perhaps I uderestimated their lineup?



  34. 34. Diane Firstman

    Shut up Phillips …. of COURSE Joba’s fastball isn’t 95+ 60% of the time this season …. he’s a STARTER now!



  35. 35. The Hawk

    I wish to hell Youklis hadn’t grown that goatee back. Or whatever it is. In ST he was clean-shaven and I could actually look at him without hatred boiling up deep in my soul. But now …

    Hey does anyone else feel like the Yanks have already given up on this game? Or is it just that I have already given up on this game?



  36. 36. Diane Firstman

    The last time the Yanks gave up 118 or more runs in any 17-game stretch?

    145 runs surrendered: 9/15/00-10/1/2000 …. 3 wins, 14 losses



  37. my lady: “Why do you always curse when that ugly man is batting for Boston?”

    me: “sigh…”



  38. Two nickel and dime hits..this is not good..



  39. 39. rbj

    [36] But that season ended on a happy note. Maybe a foreshadowing for this year. . .



  40. Yes, Joe Morgan can be an idiot in multiple sports! He is so versatile!



  41. 41. randym77

    Gawd, I hate the ESPN announcers. They make me appreciate Michael Kay.



  42. [40] I like his consistency!



  43. 43. Diane Firstman

    We’re on place for a 4-hour 1-0 game …



  44. [43] Clearly, you underestimate the ability of the Yankees to go 1-2-3….



  45. nice..and still only 32 piches for Andy P.



  46. Matsui kaette kimashita! (Matsui is back!)



  47. 47. Diane Firstman

    time for a pinch-runner



  48. 48. rbj

    I was thinking “the Yankees are being no hit” but figured it was too early to mention it.



  49. 49. The Hawk

    Wow! “First Baserunner for the Yanks”, eh buddy? Two whole innings w/o a baserunner? I’m appalled.



  50. Phillips: “..all the kinetic links in the rotations..” Am I not smart enough to understand that? Or is he talking nonsense?

    Nice play Lowell!
