Game Thread: Sunday, September 9, 2012, Yankees at Orioles
Not only are the Yankees playing badly, but they’re also playing unlucky. Obviously everyone is furious over last night’s blown call, but the smartest thing for fans and team alike is to move on quickly. (Adding injury to the insult: re-injured his calf on the play and will miss today’s game.) You knew it would come to this. The winner of today’s game goes home with sole possession of first place. This is the biggest game of the 2012 season. If the Yankees lose they may not have another clean shot at hanging onto first place. So, who’s on the mound? . The O’s counter with . Enjoy!

Well, here we go again. Leaving Baltimore in 1st place would be big. After today the Yanks have two tough series left: 3 games vs. TB, 3 vs. Oak. Also, 6 vs. Bos, 7 vs Tor and 3 vs. Minn. Even crippled they could make a good run at the division title.
Boy, talk about demoralizing. “Oh, the Yankees may be without Teixera for a week, or -hey- it could be the whole season.”
Boy shoulda shut it down when he felt unexpected tightness earlier. He knows his body, but put this new info into the formula.
The Yankees want to prove they can win on one leg?
Can one of you tell me why I keep coming back to the games and suffering?
Insanity: Doing the same thing over & over and expecting a different result.
I hear people say that a lot, and it always puzzles me. If I flip a coin and it comes up heads, either I expect it always to come up heads or I’m insane?
nope, uh unh. The Yankee media sure dudn’t know. John J. Fittipaldi or something.
Who? What?
The company line is dictated by Mr. John J. Fittapelli, I presume. Kay is always emphasizing that name in the wrapup, so I guess he is coordinating, Jack, Michael, Meredith, Bob, since they all use the same lingo, attitude.
By the way, I haven’t heard Kay talking lately about Swisher getting better pitches to hit in the second spot.
What base is that schmuck umpire at today?
Home Plate
home base
Should be some lively conversation around the batter’s boxes.
You want to argue about it? lol
no, didn’t see yours when I posted, touchy
That’s what we needed–more GIDPs.
Delighted by Britton’s help. Good Swish, waiting him out (except for the first pitch, shoulda blasted it). Never mind.
Hits >>>> DPs.
That RBI single by Cano is the Yankees 125th of season. They have 125 solo HRs.
Sorry, its 124 solo HRs
interesting stat, Phil
I’m watching on TBS. Have they said anything on YES about Jeter? Looked like he was running funny. After the inning went down the walk way with the trainer.
Kay and Singy are all sour grapes, so I’m joining you, Phil. Maybe I’ll try Gameday again.
have to undergo major repairs for that to work.
I’m a bit sourgrapey myself.
guess they got the finger on the pulse, then. Give ‘em what they want.
Nice low pitch count by Freddy. 21 pitches for 2 innings. But he lived dangerously with Reynolds, a few pitches were up.
All these GBs the Yankees are hitting is getting ridiculous and boring. The way to fix that is to bat standing on their heads. That way the ball will go up rather than down.
Is there some way we can work unicycles into this?
There are no unicycles in baseball silly.
I am grilling a London broil. Just thought you’d like to know.
Been wondering about that since the game started.
Next time, feel free to ask.
All right, no more letting pitchers off the hook.
Bases loaded, no outs. The MUST score at least 2 runs this inning! If not I’m buying a voodoo doll and a whole bunch of pins.
There’s your 2. Are you satisfied?
NO!!!!
Hey – a Baltimore chop. Tasty.
That was nice.
hope your London Broil is less firm.
Came out nice. With roasted potatoes.
sounds good
Hey, Arod scored a long time ago. Maybe it was fortunate that he missed by six inches.
I’m surprised Showalter stayed with Britton this long.
Well, I guess you can say that this inning is a walk in the park.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Swisher now 0 for 17 vs Arrieta.
Damn. One solid hit away from blowing it open. This is a lead Garcia could blow.
I know. 4 runs and A-Rod lead-off single was the only one hit hard.
Jake went all Mariano on Swish and Alex till that last one.
I don’t think Swish could hit a beach ball right now.
He might be able to hit it on the ground to the shortstop, if there were a runner on first and less than two out.
Swish hit one or two hard, right at somebody on Thursday. Hit a caught homerun on Friday.
Jones and Swisher’s strikeouts with bases loaded will come back to haunt the Yankees in this game. Why Jones is playing is beyong me. There are 2 righties on the bench who are better hitters. Jones is playing on September 9th based on his not June…well if he deserves to play today because of what he did in June why not sign him to 2 more years at 2 mil per year based on his hot June. I mean if a hot month is such an indication of worth, just sign him up. It should be 7-0 right now.
Bingo!
Take him out. I don’t care what his pitch count is.
Joba?? OK, leave Garcia in.
Un-bleeping-leeeeeeevable!
My beloved Yankees will find a way to lose this game. There is a cloud upon them. Even the umps are in on it.
Where is that frigging voodoo doll?
This team can’t finish the sale. Not hitting, not pitching.
Hey, they just put on a walking clinic. They can walk home with the best of them!
SURGEON GENERAL’S WARNING: Watching Yankee games can he hazardous to both your physical and mental health.
I’m basically reduced to hoping they hang on. That they could actually play well seems beyond hope.
Thank you Joba!!
I didn’t expect that, but I’d like to second your motion.
Come on, forget walks, we want RUNS!!
This home plate/base ump is awful. TBS is showing pitch track on virtually all the pitches and he is so inconsistent it’s ridiculous.
This is a real Christian game. Virtually all runs are gifts from the opposing team. It just warms my heart…..NOT!!
text poll entry: my fantastic Yankees, except now you tell me not
Yep, Joba’s looking good. He may prove very useful in coming days.
If he really has something to contribute, it will help a great deal.
I don’t think he’s all the way back yet, but he’s definitely improving.
The return of the Joba. At least for today. Looks like it’s The Bridge on the River Nova before D-Rob & Sori.
I’d stick with Jobber, tho it sounds lovely.
I guess I was wrong, It’s the Creature from the Boone Lagoon.
upstream from River Nova. That’s catchy, Boone Lagoon.
well, well, welcome back Curtis’ good swing.
Nice little pick-me-up from Curtis. Great try by Jones.
That HR felt good!
Chopperwocky
I wish Cano had caught that. I’d have liked to see him try the shortstop-in-the-hole thing, just to see how he can handle it.
I betcha Robbie could do it. But less chances for that wonderful sling. The sling thing is a thing of beauty. He’d probably innovate something new at short.
The sling makes me nervous, but I have to admit I’ve never seen it fail.
fastest transfers coming across second. That sling is wizard. Yeah, his accuracy is uncanny. He just has a feel for things that need it.
Wish he’d quit trying for so much power. It would come, along with lots more hits if he would stay versatile, go with more pitches.
What’s up with Binder Joe? Davis is 6 for 10 w/HR vs. Logan.
Wheeeeew!
Well, my heart went boom when I crossed that room and I held her hand in miiiiiiine…
What the hell did you put on the London Broil?
They were playing that at Camden Yards. It came through on YES. (And I’m a big Beatles fan.)
My all time favorite song lyrics are:
I don’t know
But I’ve been told
A big-legged woman
Ain’t got no soul
did Led Zeppelin write that? Sounds like Mississippi.
Yup.
they wrote it? who’s the author? or stole it from Mississippi?
Led Zepplin
From “Where Did Robinson Crusoe Go With Friday On Saturday Night”:
On the island live wild men
With cannibal trimmin’
And where there are wild men
There must be wild women…
har … and you remembers all this?
Yup. Been a music collector for a long time.
sounds quite the volume in that haid
Swisher needs to buy a vowel.
Two-out RISP hit!! Yaaaah!
Don’t edit out those bloopers.
Grandy just bought an “oo.” Ding, ding.
Nice four-part harmony, my home sweet HOME!
Cory Wade. Take your choice any disaster movie will do!
“Down the River” to Machado
Flushh, flush. Did alright, nothing near a disaster, Phil. Maybe he retuned.
I hope so.
Wow! Wade actually looked good.
Texas was giving out BJ’s today. Upton had 3 HRs.
hardy har
Who’s got pop and average, too? De-rek Je-tah.
Now that’s being the Yankees!
Jeter takes flight!
Arod: “Thanks, but quit targetting my hand.”
I like this game. Best game in a while.
lovely run differential
I second that emotion! (Couldn’t resist.)
You wouldn’t be Phil C. if you could.
Cap Ripkin & John Smoltz in the booth. So what is all that baseball experience teaching us about the game? What color highlighters Ernie Johnson uses to fill out his score card!
maybe they missed kindergarten, playing baseball all the time.
lol
If he’s not using blue, he shouldn’t be in the booth.
Well, good bye Ernie!
Michael Kay says that the Baltimore Sun did not mention the bad call in its game report yesterday, and the Baltimore TV coverage didn’t show a replay of the final out.
shame. desperate for self-recognition: “our guys fight.”
Who read the newspaper to him?
I hope today’s game is just a warm up for playing the Red Sucks.
4.99 is the lowest ERA for the 3 probable Sockhole starters.
Well, the Yanks will just have to make sure they’re all above 5.00 when they leave the mound.
What got into Curtis??
something threw the switch. Nice practice here.
Santeria. He sacrificed two chickens in his hotel room this morning.
Neat little sharp breaking ball under the lefty’s hands. Beautiful right-and-down on the changeup. Cory Wade on the water.
Showalter gave up and put in the JV team.
Right now Baltimore is tied for first. The Red Sox are in last, 16 games behind them. And both teams have the same run differential: -19.
Wow!
That includes today’s Red Sox game, which the Sox lost (4-3). When the Yankee game is over, that will add -10 to the O’s differential.
First time that’s Lowe has entered a game and I’m not worried he’ll blow it.
Threw them birds right out of that 1st place nest.
Chat y’all for Boston!
see ya, guys.
