Game 156: Nova’s Redemption
Ivan Nova’s last start was awful awful awful. I don’t foresee him as a postseason starter, that’s already in the hands of Sabathia, Kuroda, Pettitte, and Hughes, but he still has plenty to prove. If he’s not on his game tonight, he might miss the postseason roster altogether, and I think there’s a legitimate chance the Yankees use him as a trade piece, thanks to his inconstancy. Here’s the lineup, courtesy of LoHud.
Derek Jeter SS
Ichiro Suzuki RF
Alex Rodriguez DH
Robinson Cano 2B
Nick Swisher 1B
Curtis Granderson CF
Russell Martin C
Raul Ibanez LF
Jayson Nix 3B
The game starts at 7:05. Go Yankees!

I don’t relish facing Morrow.
I’ll take that hot dog with mustard only.
No runs, no hits in the top of the first, but at least Morrow didn’t get away with a low-pitch inning.
Who’s pitching tonight, Super or Grosny?
I guess we’ll see.
I hate nights this because the Yanks can only lose ground because O’s have night off.
A’s lost, so Lung Disease is still in it. Those last three games between them and the Zeros could be really good.
I’m not rooting for any team to make the playoffs (other than the Yanks) because I don’t want to face any of them. One of those about being careful what you wish for.
Odd. That really hung up, and Martin is a righty. Gose should have been there. Maybe he lost sight of it.
I think a lot of OFs are afraid to charge a ball on the turf, just witness that high bounce.
Come on, early RISP hit. Let’s go!
Sheesh, Ibanez couldn’t have reached that with a stepladder.
Maybe he’s not as tall as he thinks.
So far, we haven’t seen Grosny.
Sigh. There he is.
You typed too soon.
Damn if that turf doesn’t look like frozen tundra.
I sure hope nova doesn’t make postseason roster
He’s certainly in the process of pitching himself off those rosters.
I don’t think he’ll be in the rotation but he might do well in relief.
Absolutely the single worst trivia question in YES history.
What was it? I’m watching on MLB.tv?
How many sports references are there in Billy Joel’s We Didn’t Start The Fire?
You’re right! And I simply have no clue, and don’t care.
And when I find out the answer, I will not have learned anything.
WTF was Cano thinking?
I can’t fault him. Two out, on first, might as well go. If the ball’s not caught, you score. If it is caught, probably won’t score anyway.
But screw Gose.
It was one out. he got doubled off 1st.
Yes, I know. I didn’t say it right. The fly was the second out. I think you go in that situation. It was a tough catch.
That glove really did have a hole in it.
Looked like that ball was headed foul on Nix.
That bunt would have gone foul.
I’d pitch around Encarnacion. I don’t care if it loads the bases.
If that 2nd to last game vs the Red Sucks means anything they have to start Phelps.
Bring on Phleps!
Forgive me, I’ve forgot. Phleps > Phelps
And with that double the nite is just bout over. Personally I say give the rest of novas start to Derek lowe
Oh God, no. Why not Phelps?
BJ FACTOID: Nova’s last 7 starts: ERA 7.88, HRs 7, WHIP, 1.62
Dickens comparing Nova’s two years as a starter: “It was the best of years. It was the worst of years.”
I read that Dickens was a big baseball fan.
New YES trivia question: How many baseball references were there in Dickens’ novels?
He was the real C-Dick.
It’s twue, it’s twue
C-Dick run. See Timmy limp.
Ha ha ha ha.
Musical interlude of the night:
Hang down you head Ivan Nova,
Hang down your head and cry
I prefer Hank Williams’ Move It On Nova.
It was lo-ong gone
Now I’m lonesome blu-ue
Blue team is making the Yanks lonesome for runs.
Would getting something started be completely out of the question here?
Hopefully not!
I don’t think Dickens was a Blue Jays fan, though. Didn’t he say, “The Lawrie is an ass”?
I’ve already exhausted my non-Christmas Carol quotes.
Yankee fans are definitely haunted by the ghosts of Novas past.
To Grandy: “I want candy.”
Question: Will Martin pass Granderson in batting average in the next week?
What a depressing question.
Well, they got something started. First & 2nd no outs, then runnus interruptus.
Michael Kay: “The Yankees are sleepwalking thru this game. You’d think the importance would wake them up.”
What a maroon. They don’t hit, ipso facto they aren’t trying.
Just because he has a mouth & a brain doesn’t mean he can use both of them at the same time.
He’s been in rare form lately.
Lung Disease leads the bleached socks 1-0 in bot 4th.
Gonna give the Yankees one more half inning and then abandon them to their fate.
Sounds like a plan. I hate watching these games at my computer if the Yanks aren’t winning.
Come on Yanks. Lincoln, Lincoln, you been stinkin’
Maybe Aardvark will pitch.
If after yesterday’s game and then tonight and Girardi doesn’t use him, then I’m completely baffled.
Goodnight, all.
The Yanks just don’t want a big lead, because then they don’t play with fire. Or do they?
Chat ya tomorrow. To quote Hawk. “He gone.”
Looks like Aarvark is having typical post-TJ control problems.
Why didn’t Joe play Chavy rather than Nixy? Not hurt. Artificial turf, or penalty for forgetting the number of outs yeaterday?
Probably turf. Doesn’t want his playing 2 games in a row. Girardi to Chavez, “Opps, I forget to put you in the lineup.”
Can’t resist the pun, but I’ve had my fill of this game. Chat y’all tomorrow.
Do I really have to recap this? And can I call it a recrap instead?
