  1. 1. Rich

    I’m confident.



  2. 2. monkeypants

    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!



  3. 3. Start Spreading the News

    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.



  4. 4. tommyl

    [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.

  6. 6. Raf

    [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.



  7. 7. Start Spreading the News

    [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] :}



  9. 9. ms october

    good thing mo’s spitball didn’t hit kramer- unless he wanted to end up scorned like keith hernandez



  10. 10. 51cq24

    [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.



  11. 11. Start Spreading the News

    [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?



  13. 13. weeping for brunnhilde

    [5] Heh heh heh heh heh heh eh!



  14. 14. The Hawk

    [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



  15. 15. rbj

    Mo’s control is so good, even his spitter misses the ball.



  16. 16. seamus

    how can you not feel confident with CC going? I’m pretty stoked. If we hit, we win. please.



  17. can someone give me a brown paper bag to breathe into please?



  18. Joe Buck just said “Yankee Nation”

    we’re fucked.



  19. 19. weeping for brunnhilde

    Here we go…



  20. 20. 51cq24

    let’s get 4 runs in the 1st



  21. hold me…



  22. 22. Diane Firstman

    Don’t sliders have downward movement by definition?

    I think of tilt as left to right.



  23. 23. williamnyy23

    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.



  24. 24. Raf

    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?



  25. 25. Diane Firstman

    Kazmir Sweaters …



  26. 26. 51cq24

    [23] i think it’s a must win for us as fans more than anything else



  27. 27. thelarmis

    LET’S GO YAN-KEES !! !!!

    good start, Jeter!



  28. [25] oh Diane…thats pretty bad



  29. 29. rbj

    Good start, now we just need some HWRISP.



  30. 30. thelarmis

    terrible start, Jeter. : /



  31. FML



  32. 32. rbj

    Frak, Derek.



  33. 33. williamnyy23

    Wow…inexusable early mistake. You can’t get picked off there.



  34. 34. weeping for brunnhilde

    Damn.

    Nice move.



  35. 35. Raf

    [25] I was thinking Led Zeppelin

    Jeter picked off, and so it begins…



  36. 36. Diane Firstman

    [28]

    That was one of the names of my baseball roto teams a few years ago …



  37. 37. thelarmis

    looks like this is gonna be another one of those games.

    i really can’t handle that… : (



  38. [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”



  39. 39. tommyl

    Winning baseball!



  40. 40. weeping for brunnhilde

    Teix looks terrible up there.



  41. 41. 51cq24

    looked like a strike



  42. 42. thelarmis

    straighten that out, Tex and we’ll be in business…



  43. 43. weeping for brunnhilde

    Good cuts, good cuts.



  44. 44. thelarmis

    damn, so close. a little straighter…



  45. 45. weeping for brunnhilde

    Fuck!

    Ok, maybe he’s turning things around before our eyes. That’s three good swings.



  46. 46. Diane Firstman

    Oy vey iz Kazmir …



  47. someone there actually has an Adenhart jersey??



  48. 48. weeping for brunnhilde

    Of course.



  49. 49. williamnyy23

    Not exactly the start I was hoping for…I’ll be absolutely holding my breath with Sabathia in the bottom of the first.



  50. 50. The Hawk

    I didn’t care much for that half inning.
