I’m confident.
I have a late meeting, so I’ll be a bit late getting home for the start of the game. Fortunately, I too am confident.
The series will not return to NYC.
Go Yanks!
From http://www.theyankeeuniverse.com/?p=8599
“The ‘genius’ Mike Scioscia was warming up his Game 5 starter last night, because that’s the only pitcher left who he had available. Say what you want about Girardi’s bullpen use, he has every one of his relievers available for tonight’s game and Scioscia doesn’t. If that becomes a factor tonight, Girardi will get zero credit from many fans and sportswriters, who assume everyone will be available and effective every day. But of course, that’s not reality.”
So even as Girardi makes mistakes, he just has to be better than his counterpart.
[3] Errr….I fail to see how Scoscia taking an all hands on deck approach facing a possible 3-0 series deficit is a mistake.
[3] When you and your buddy are being chased by a bear, you don’t have to be able to outrun the bear…just your buddy. ;-)
[4] Also, Gaudin was the last man standing, so I don’t know how Girardi has his pen men ready, and Scioscia doesn’t, when they’ve had about the same amount of rest.
[4] He was contrasting the “burn the bullpen” approach to Girardi who used certainly his but didn’t burn it.
In a game where CC is starting on short rest and relievers will probably be necessary, we will still have Hughes, Rivera, Robertson, et. al available today.
[2] yeah i am going to miss the beginning of the game but i expect to get home by about the middle of it, and am very nicely requesting a big lead
[5] :}
good thing mo’s spitball didn’t hit kramer- unless he wanted to end up scorned like keith hernandez
[3] while i do think girardi’s strategy in these games (what some call overmanaging) is underappreciated because people don’t realize that it leaves all of his relievers relatively rested, this doesn’t answer why he would go to aceves when robertson had faced 2 batters.
but let’s move on to tonight. 6-2 yanks.
[6] This isn’t about “all hands on deck” as much as who is on deck.
Their top three guys:
Oliver — 28 pitches, 1.2 innings
Jepsen — 31, 1.1
Fuentes — 13, 1
Our top three guys:
Robertson — 11, .2
Hughes — 19, 1.2
Rivera — 17, 1.0
[9] The spitball thing is ridiculous. GoHalos.com is still mystified as to why ESPN isn’t talking about it. I saw the video and it looked to me right away that he was spitting away from the ball. Deadspin shows that the spit travels past the ball.
Besides, if Mo is going to use the spitter, why spit from 2 feet away? Is his spitter as accurate as his splitter?
[5] Heh heh heh heh heh heh eh!
[12] Besides, if Mo is going to use the spitter, why spit from 2 feet away? Is his spitter as accurate as his splitter?
Dammit I already made that joke!!! : o
Mo’s control is so good, even his spitter misses the ball.
how can you not feel confident with CC going? I’m pretty stoked. If we hit, we win. please.
can someone give me a brown paper bag to breathe into please?
Joe Buck just said “Yankee Nation”
we’re fucked.
Here we go…
let’s get 4 runs in the 1st
hold me…
Don’t sliders have downward movement by definition?
I think of tilt as left to right.
This game begins with a very different feeling from yesterday. I think it is a must win for both teams. I also think this will not be a close game. One of these teams is going to jump out to a relatively big early lead…either by the end of the first or second inning.
So I guess flipping Matsui and Posada in the order means we’ll see the PH/DH/PR rotation without having an empty spot behind Rodriguez?
Kazmir Sweaters …
[23] i think it’s a must win for us as fans more than anything else
LET’S GO YAN-KEES !! !!!
good start, Jeter!
[25] oh Diane…thats pretty bad
Good start, now we just need some HWRISP.
terrible start, Jeter. : /
FML
Frak, Derek.
Wow…inexusable early mistake. You can’t get picked off there.
Damn.
Nice move.
[25] I was thinking Led Zeppelin
Jeter picked off, and so it begins…
[28]
That was one of the names of my baseball roto teams a few years ago …
looks like this is gonna be another one of those games.
i really can’t handle that… : (
[36] oh well as a team name thats pretty good. we go for obscure historical puns in our league, my personal favorite was “The Beer Hall Putz”. I was briefly “The Madson Purchase”
Winning baseball!
Teix looks terrible up there.
looked like a strike
straighten that out, Tex and we’ll be in business…
Good cuts, good cuts.
damn, so close. a little straighter…
Fuck!
Ok, maybe he’s turning things around before our eyes. That’s three good swings.
Oy vey iz Kazmir …
someone there actually has an Adenhart jersey??
Of course.
Not exactly the start I was hoping for…I’ll be absolutely holding my breath with Sabathia in the bottom of the first.
I didn’t care much for that half inning.
