"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

Three Times Lucky

pettittestare

Andy Pettitte has been quite good lately, even considering that shellacking by Chicago. The right teams keep losing and the Yankees have leapfrogged both Cleveland and Baltimore and only trail Tampa for the last Wild Card spot. This is going up before the lineup is announced, but it wasn’t correct yesterday and we survived, so hopefully we’ll manage without one today.

Will they get a game in?
It's really pouring here in RI, and NOAA forecast for NY looks pretty wet.

They may not.

But if they do, I'd like them to remember this:

Sweep the leg.

But, but, Sensei?

SWEEP THE LEG!

5 RIYank   ~  Sep 1, 2013 12:26 pm

Be a hero, Vern.

6 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 1, 2013 12:28 pm

Chen's going to drop a curveball on Vernon.

7 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 1, 2013 12:28 pm

If Vern comes through here,the fix is in!

8 rbj   ~  Sep 1, 2013 12:29 pm

Modammit!

9 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 1, 2013 12:29 pm

Oh for fuck's sake! RIght down the gd pipe, Vernon!

10 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 1, 2013 12:30 pm

Yeah, guess not.

Fucking Vern.

11 RIYank   ~  Sep 1, 2013 12:30 pm

Nope.
Didn't really expect it. But he got my hopes up a little drilling those fat pitches foul...

12 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 1, 2013 12:49 pm

One double play, please.

13 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 1, 2013 12:57 pm

I'll take 3 pop ups. : )

14 rbj   ~  Sep 1, 2013 1:03 pm

How about this time we get Brett home.

15 RIYank   ~  Sep 1, 2013 1:03 pm

He's a Double Machine.

16 rbj   ~  Sep 1, 2013 1:08 pm

Thank you Sori

17 RIYank   ~  Sep 1, 2013 1:08 pm

Yay!

18 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Sep 1, 2013 1:21 pm

Keep chuckin Andy!

19 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Sep 1, 2013 1:30 pm

Welcome back nunie!

20 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Sep 1, 2013 1:31 pm

Good afternoon. Andy sure looks good today. I couldn't watch the game yesterday, but caught the last three innings of the replay this morning. Nova looked great, and while we all had some doubts over the years, he has become the pitcher his stuff predicted. I am curious about the Ichiro catch in the 9th; what's all the controversy about? He really did nothing.

21 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 1, 2013 1:34 pm

C'mon, Brett!

22 rbj   ~  Sep 1, 2013 1:35 pm

Good eye Brett.

23 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Sep 1, 2013 1:36 pm

C'mon captain. No do today!

24 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Sep 1, 2013 1:37 pm

Dp

25 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Sep 1, 2013 1:37 pm

Sac fly beats a dp any day.

26 rbj   ~  Sep 1, 2013 1:37 pm

Gets a run in.

27 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Sep 1, 2013 1:38 pm

Jeter with the fly (not the grounder we feared). I'll take it.

When, Chen?

28 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Sep 1, 2013 1:39 pm

O's announcer says yanks 32-0 when ahead by 3 runs at home.

29 JeremyM   ~  Sep 1, 2013 1:40 pm

Tough call.

30 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Sep 1, 2013 1:40 pm

What was Robinson's beef there? He looked at strike three.

31 JeremyM   ~  Sep 1, 2013 1:43 pm

[30] I'm sitting at a funny angle, but I thought it was outside..

32 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 1, 2013 1:45 pm

Good play by Alex. Long throw.

33 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Sep 1, 2013 1:48 pm

[31]Fat wallet?

34 JeremyM   ~  Sep 1, 2013 1:51 pm

Ha ha, no, not even remotely!

35 thelarmis   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:03 pm

nice play, alex.

i actually saw the play, 'coz the game is on TBS!!!

wish i was watching from the beginning, but i'll take this. love watching Andy work!

36 thelarmis   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:04 pm

DJ passed Bernabe on the Yanks' all-time RBI list, with his sac fly.

1,258

37 thelarmis   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:07 pm

38 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:08 pm

Sweet dp! Atta boy, Andy!

39 thelarmis   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:09 pm

40 rbj   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:09 pm

6 - 5 - 3?

Don't see that too often.

41 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:09 pm

Hmmm. A*rod looks like a SS.

42 thelarmis   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:19 pm

yeah, he went...

43 thelarmis   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:19 pm

ah, really crappy captain...

44 thelarmis   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:23 pm

45 thelarmis   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:25 pm

46 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:25 pm

47 thelarmis   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:26 pm

K-Master Kelley koming in.

48 thelarmis   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:26 pm

Gary - you got #46!

49 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:28 pm

Uh-oh.

50 thelarmis   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:29 pm

nice barehand stop by gritner on the weird hop.

51 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:29 pm

Mother fucker!

52 thelarmis   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:29 pm

motherfucker.

goddamn fucking bullshit.

FUCK!!!

53 rbj   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:30 pm

What the hell? I just go out to pull the truck into the garage and this happened?

54 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:31 pm

That effing fan shoulda kept his hands off!!!

55 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:32 pm

Why do I think Ichiro would have caught that one and then done a back flip for good measure?

56 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:32 pm

THIS is not special. How quickly it goes to shit.

57 thelarmis   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:33 pm

jesus fucking h. christ.

this turned to shit in a hurry.

58 thelarmis   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:35 pm

a more aggressive tag by reynolds and we would've had him...

59 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:37 pm

Kelley turned the fans green.

60 thelarmis   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:37 pm

well, it'll be all the sweeter when we regain the lead off k-rod.

61 thelarmis   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:39 pm

fucking bollocks.

62 rbj   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:39 pm

Oh goody, now Joba.

63 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:40 pm

This could be a moment of redemption for Joba, or the final spin around the bowl. There is no middle ground.

64 thelarmis   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:42 pm

oh god.

joba. white flag.

goodbye playoffs...

feh.

: /

65 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:42 pm

Good call, Buck.

66 thelarmis   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:43 pm

gift.

67 rbj   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:43 pm

Thanks, Machado. Now a DP please.

68 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:44 pm

Atta boy, Joba.

69 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:44 pm

The final flush.

70 thelarmis   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:44 pm

holy crap.

FUCK YOU, joba.

71 thelarmis   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:45 pm

that's gotta be the last time joba throws in pinstripes.

please, oh please.

72 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:45 pm

Joba the huh. Sucks period.

73 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:47 pm

With 14 arms in the pen why is this POS still in the game?

74 thelarmis   ~  Sep 1, 2013 2:58 pm

oh my god.

ridiculous.

75 thelarmis   ~  Sep 1, 2013 3:16 pm

can we please get an earl weaver special now?!

76 thelarmis   ~  Sep 1, 2013 3:21 pm

good hustle by huff to cover first.

77 rbj   ~  Sep 1, 2013 3:39 pm

Well that sucked.

78 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Sep 1, 2013 3:43 pm

I'm too old to cry over baseball games. But never too old to be angry. In all honesty, the Yanks were lucky to win the first game of this series, it could have been 1 of 3 instead. 2 of 3 isn't good enough.

79 BobbyB   ~  Sep 1, 2013 3:51 pm

I've been hating Joba on this blog for months. When are they going to cut him loose? He makes me want to hug Phil Hughes.

80 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 1, 2013 4:31 pm

If I ever see Fat Bastard again, in a game that counts, I'll walk to New York and punch Joey Joe Joe in the face myself.

Great job, Joebber.
