    Godzilla is DH, Jorgie’s on the bench. Izturis & Mathis are both in. i think that’s a whole lot better than Kendrick & Napoli, though it may be a matchup thing and Mathis already broke my heart…

    Derek Jeter SS
    Johnny Damon LF
    Mark Teixeira 1B
    Alex Rodriguez 3B
    Hideki Matsui DH
    Robinson Cano 2B
    Nick Swisher RF
    Melky Cabrera CF
    Jose Molina C

    LET’S GO YAN-KEES !! !!!

    end this *tonight*

    [1] Anything can happen in a small sample, but give a guy enough plate appearances, and he’ll revert to form. That is, celebrate that Scioscia sat Napoli’s much better bat!

    Let us also hope that if AJ gets into trouble and gets pulled, Girardi does not wait to insert Posada’s bat back into the lineup.

    Going to be a fun game! Unfortunately I’ll miss the live game thread. I’ll be dvring and watching later tonight or possibly even tomorrow morning. Have fun folks!!



  4. I really don’t like all this talk about a Yankee-Philly World Series. I’m guilty too, but I wish it would stop until the Yankees make it in.



  5. 5. The Hawk

    [1] Mathis broke your heart???



  6. 6. rbj

    We ain’t playin’ horseshoes or tossin’ grenades, so there’s no done deal.

    Now what’s the over/under on how many times the announcers mention 2004?

    I peg it at 70.



  7. [5] don’t you remember game 3?



  8. 8. Start Spreading the News

    Hope you guys haven’t bought your old Yankee Stadium seats yet from Steiner Sports:

  9. 9. The Hawk

    [7] Yeah, that wasn’t heartbreaking to me. Damn, some of youse are sensitive!



  10. 10. Yankee Fan in Boston

    Here’s hoping that Good AJ toes the rubber tonight and that a certain truck hasn’t left Anaheim just yet.

    I may not be able to watch it live, but I’ll be a nervous wreck nonetheless.



  11. 11. Evil Empire

    I’m sitting in the Detroit airport waiting for my connection to Birmingham. What a crazy way to get home from phoenix! Anyway I will miss the first 2-3 innings, But I will try to set the banter record for distance traveled between comments on the same post (I doubt I will really have the record but I’m claiming it!).

    Go yanks! Finish it tonight and line up that rotation again!



  12. 12. 51cq24

    we’d better win tonight cause 6 days til the world series is nothing compared to 2 days til game 6.



  13. 13. felix holt

    Got a bad feeling about Burnett tonight.



  14. 14. a.O

    [11] Funny. I went from Anchorage to Portland (OR) once this season during a game, but I don’t think I had any posts. So you’re record’s safe with me.

    [13] Jeez. With fans like you, who needs enemies?



  15. 15. felix holt

    [14] Funny, because the proprietor of this blog has the same feeling. It should also be said that fans, even the most die hard fans, are allowed to have a bad feeling about a player whose performance throughout the season has been inconsistent to say the least. Or do you insist on sheltering yourself from reality?



  16. 16. a.O

    [15] Here’s some reality for ya: I have a bad feeling about John Lackey getting shelled tonight!!!!! Put that in your neurotic pipe and smoke it!!

    Also, let’s not get all touchy-feelie, but you are of course allowed to have whatever feelings you wish. And those feelings are valid. Even if they’re ridiculous. : P



  17. 17. felix holt

    [16] I sincerely hope you’re right!



  18. 18. OldYanksFan

    [16] ooooh… I like that! Pessimistic feelings are valid but rediculous (FAVBR) !!!



  19. 19. rbj

    [13] I put it more in the queasy feeling category. Just figure that’s gonna be normal with A.J.



  20. 20. Just Fair

    I want to see “Big Game” AJ go 7 shutout innings with 10 walks and 5 hbp ( 3 for Choad and 2 for Snoop) just for kicks. : D
    GO YANKEES!!!



  21. 21. 51cq24

    this is fun to pass some time

  22. 22. a.O

    [17] I know you do!

    [20] That’s the right idea!



  23. 23. a.O

    [21] Pretty fun. Even though my performance was embarrassing.



  24. 24. jeaner

    Unlike the dreaded, hated, repulsive 2004 in which a 3-0 lead succumbed to loss 1 followed by loss 2…you remember, THIS series the Yankees have had their loss and rebounded.
    I hope you are quite disappointed if you are holding tickets for Saturday.



  25. 25. Just Fair

    [21] A little more than half. I was living in Colorado that year and one of the best Yankee years ever was completely off my radar. A few years before the intertubes blew up. : ( Dale Sveum. Mike Lowell. Many of those pitchers mentioned I’d never heard of. Ha.



  26. 26. ms october

    has anyone figured why there is a delay in timmay joining buck – not that i am complaining or anything



  27. 27. williamnyy23

    Too much is being made of the Yankees being up in this series 3 games to 1, but the fact of the matter is that if viewed in isolation, this matchup would probably be considered at least a slight advantage for the Angels. Closing out the series is not about having the killer instinct, but beating a good pitcher.



  28. 28. a.O

    [26] You’ve probably seen this, but it cannot be said enough:

  29. LETS RING THAT CHAMPIONSHIP BELL!!!

  30. 30. bx7busfan

    Prefer the TBS Broadcast team to Fox cast…. Darling was really sharp….



  31. 31. thelarmis

    goddamn, he’s some kinda ugly !!!



  32. 32. Just Fair

    Serve the Servant. And serve him early and often.



  33. 33. thelarmis

    i LOVE my Captain!!!!!

    now DON’T get picked off!!!



  34. 34. 51cq24

    [23] [25] somehow i remembered mike buddie (because he started one of my favorite 98 games against oakland, when strawberry had a pinch hit grand slam to tie it in the 9th) and forgot homer bush, who i liked much more than he deserved at the time.



  35. 35. thelarmis

    good job, Johnny!

    double steal !!! ; )



  36. 36. felix holt

    I like the way the game’s started.



  37. 37. 51cq24

    what bullshit



  38. 38. thelarmis

    fuck you, blue!



  39. 39. williamnyy23

    Early bad call by the umps.



  40. 40. rbj

    Strike three? Really?



  41. 41. thelarmis

    do it again, Alex !!!



  42. 42. williamnyy23

    The Yankees would be a machine if Teixeira would wake up.



  43. 43. RIYank

    Not clutch.



  44. 44. rbj

    crud.



  45. 45. thelarmis

    fuckin’ bollocks.

    i hope Mats makes this stand up…



  46. 46. williamnyy23

    Not scoring here could really give the Angels a lift…this is a very big, early AB by Matsui. I think the mistake Tex and Arod made was laying off that first pitch curve.



  47. 47. williamnyy23

    In the cold of game 1, Lackey threw a ton of curves and it looks like that is the game plan tonight. The Yankees have to be prepared to jump on them.



  48. 48. tommyl

    Oh, so we’re back to this shit?



  49. 49. 51cq24

    the biggest problem with umpiring is the inconsistent ball and strike calls. umpires are inconsistent and are often influenced by the game situation.



  50. 50. ms october

    [28] nice aO

    way to lay off that pitch mats
