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

Mark Teixeira 1B
Alex Rodriguez 3B
Hideki Matsui DH

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!!
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.
[1] Mathis broke your heart???
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.
[5] don’t you remember game 3?
Hope you guys haven’t bought your old Yankee Stadium seats yet from Steiner Sports:
http://riveraveblues.com/2009/10/steiner-sports-yanks-sued-over-stadium-chair-sales-18812/
[7] Yeah, that wasn’t heartbreaking to me. Damn, some of youse are sensitive!
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.
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!
we’d better win tonight cause 6 days til the world series is nothing compared to 2 days til game 6.
Got a bad feeling about Burnett tonight.
[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?
[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?
[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
[16] I sincerely hope you’re right!
[16] ooooh… I like that! Pessimistic feelings are valid but rediculous (FAVBR) !!!
[13] I put it more in the queasy feeling category. Just figure that’s gonna be normal with A.J.
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!!!
this is fun to pass some time
http://www.sporcle.com/games/Chris968/1998_yankees
[17] I know you do!
[20] That’s the right idea!
[21] Pretty fun. Even though my performance was embarrassing.
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.
[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.
has anyone figured why there is a delay in timmay joining buck – not that i am complaining or anything
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.
[26] You’ve probably seen this, but it cannot be said enough:

LETS RING THAT CHAMPIONSHIP BELL!!!

Prefer the TBS Broadcast team to Fox cast…. Darling was really sharp….
goddamn, he’s some kinda ugly !!!
Serve the Servant. And serve him early and often.
i LOVE my Captain!!!!!
now DON’T get picked off!!!
[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.
good job, Johnny!
double steal !!! ; )
I like the way the game’s started.
what bullshit
fuck you, blue!
Early bad call by the umps.
Strike three? Really?
do it again, Alex !!!
The Yankees would be a machine if Teixeira would wake up.
Not clutch.
crud.
fuckin’ bollocks.
i hope Mats makes this stand up…
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.
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.
Oh, so we’re back to this shit?
the biggest problem with umpiring is the inconsistent ball and strike calls. umpires are inconsistent and are often influenced by the game situation.
[28] nice aO
way to lay off that pitch mats
