So A-rod fans aren't Yankee fans anymore? You have to hate A-rod to be a Yankee fan? Make ridiculous comments about him without using any facts whatsoever to be a Yankee fan?
Stop trying to be logical, Sam. Some folks don't want to hear (read) it.
Just strike this guy out, please.

Mark Loretta is far from a crappy player
If you get traded straight up for Doug Mirabelli, you're a crappy player. :P
hobokenfish
08-20-06, 10:21 PM
Way to miss the whole point of the argument.
Figured I would use your logic.
Huge AB right here. If Yanks want to come back, Coco needs to make an out.
From the guy who is bringing up GAME 6 of the world series...
Fine, wanna bring up their career playoff lines?

Im sorry to interupt this Arod discussion, but there is a game going on in which Villone is about to throw like his 200th pitch in the past 5 days or something... We don't care about injuring him and not having him for the last 40 games + october?

I'm talking about the arod fans who will defend him at all costs, even if he plays poorly and hurts the team. No matter who it is, you have to be objective at some point and admit when that guy isn't playing well.

No. I would like you to stop bringing Derek into every argument about Alex... (and you will also find that sample size plays quite a difference in their post season averages as well as Jeter has been there more often than Alex, so the sample sizes are no where near the same).

RIYankee23
08-20-06, 10:24 PM
To be honest..he didnt really give up anything.
He had already cut ties with Texas and Boston couldnt get him. We were probably the only team that had a realistic chance of getting him.
Since that was the case and Jeter is/was the Captain. He had no choice
Great point. If he wanted a shot at winning, adding a ring to his resume, he had to make the move to 3rd.

That I do not know. But FOX had a graphic yesterday that showed that Alex has struck out the most times with RISP this season.
hobokenfish
08-20-06, 10:24 PM
He's hitting .329 on the month. One bad AB does not mean the guy is not playing well.
He consistently fails with a runner on third and less than two out. That's a lot of bad ABs in that situation.
AlongCameAPrincess
08-20-06, 10:24 PM
I hope we can get the lead back, losing to Schilling is not cool. He has this face, he probably thinks he's so damn amazing pitching after the rain delay because the Sox need him to eat up innings so bad. Ugh, I can't stand him.
I'm talking about the arod fans who will defend him at all costs, even if he plays poorly and hurts the team. No matter who it is, you have to be objective at some point and admit when that guy isn't playing well.
Tell me one person who doesn't admit he isn't playing well. Seriously find ONE post, do it. No, what us "evil A-rod fans" are pissed about is the stupid double standard that exists when it comes to A-rod. We wish people would actually look at the facts instead of judging him based on what the media says and from what their perception is.

"Jeter's been blessed with great talent around him," Alex says. "He's never had to lead. He can just go and play and have fun. And he hits second—that's totally different than third and fourth in a lineup. You go into New York, you wanna stop Bernie and O'Neill. You never say, Don't let Derek beat you. He's never your concern."

This is the amazing thing about the Red Sox and thier fans: they've just had thier brains beaten in for three straight days. If they win tonight, they'll all be acting like they "showed us".
Meawhile, if the roles were reversed, I don't know one Yankee fan that would be TRULY happy with that result. Having said that, I'd be less worked up about losing this game if it wasn't Damien pitching for the Red Sox. I wish were beating his freaking brains in right now.

He's hitting .329 on the month. One bad AB does not mean the guy is not playing well.
He's made so many errors at 3B that it was found necessary to insert Nick Green into the lineup.
No. I would like you to stop bringing Derek into every argument about Alex... (and you will also find that sample size plays quite a difference in their post season averages as well as Jeter has been there more often than Alex, so the sample sizes are no where near the same).
Go check the previous posts, I'm not the one who brought up Jeter's name.
If we get one batter on and they stick with Schilling I have a feeling Damon will give us a one run lead. Just a feeling I have.

Ok so what you're saying is Alex sucks in the playoffs because he played badly in a few post season series BUT we can't use his entire career playoff line because that's a small sample size.
Not at ALL what I am saying. Many people say oooh Alex has a higher post season BA than Jeter, but the numbers are so close and the number of at bats aren't so I personally don't think you can compare them. Jeter has the most hits in post season history. Yes, obviously that is related to him being there every year, but its also due to him producing. Anyway... I am done with this completely unrelated argument.
Come on OFFENSE!

ZYanksRule
08-20-06, 10:31 PM
I don't think the Yanks are too into this game. Maybe because they know they can afford to lose tonight??? I hope not. Ahh well. They're human.
Still hope we can win tonight.
That being said, when you face a team's ace, after winning 3 straight, you still gotta feel super good about where you are.
Not giving up any runs here would be pretty cool. I wanna see Paps while it's still within reach.

This game will be won off Papelbon and it's going to feel good.
That would be awesome, but I'm not holding my breath...the clutchiest man in the world has one more at-bat.
Interesting that no one at ESPN mentioned what a horrible pitch that was to Ortiz, only that he hit the furthest home run in the history of home runs.

Arod, and the pinch hitter to DH?
And what would you do if that spot came up again?
You do know you lose the DH if you put him in the field.
Back to the top of the Sox lineup.

Bring in Karstens now. Can't really see us winning this game. Hopefully he'll keep us in the game, but if not, at least Proctor and Rivera are rested for tomorrow.

08-20-06, 10:32 PM
Just to give him rest? Well then that's a horrible move. No reason to weaken the lineup that much against their best pitcher while you have a shot to really knock them down.
They can all rest on the six-hour flight to the West Coast Monday evening. Stick your best players in there for this all-important series. These games are twice as big as the games vs. Seattle or LAAAAAA.

The pitch count angle has turned out to be a loser.....sorry, but ARod should have pushed the ball to the right side and moved Giambi to third in the 2nd inning. You play to win regardless of who is pitching. If you chase him, fine, if not, try to win against him and not hope to beat his relief.

Unbelievable Torre. It's not like Green had any shot whatsover. Bernie would've at least had a shot, he wouldn't have been overmatched from the start, and he's been hitting well lately (he had a HR yesterday)!!!
On top of that, Schilling's getting tired, he'd be pitching to a left handed hitter and we wouldn't have to endure Miller's obnoxious strike 3 call (dude calm down, he only struck out nick green!!)
knickfan23
08-20-06, 10:32 PM
Yankees playing with the NL lineup tonight. Thanks Joe.
Have you seen the first 8 guys in the lineup? Unless you are saying that Green is akin to the pitchers spot in this lineup.
A reminder--we do not need this game, or the one tomorrow. The Sox need them both. I like our chances of taking 1 of the 2.
Relax :)
Not at ALL what I am saying. Many people say oooh Alex has a higher post season BA than Jeter, but the numbers are so close and the number of at bats aren't so I personally don't think you can compare them. Jeter has the most hits in post season history. Yes, obviously that is related to him being there every year, but its also due to him producing. Anyway... I am done with this completely unrelated argument.
Come on OFFENSE!
.393 vs .379
.534 vs .463
You call that close?

08-20-06, 10:33 PM
Well, at least it took 5 pitches this time.
I really don't want the Red Sox to win because all we'll hear about is the gritty, gutty performance by Schilling and the clutch hitting by Ortiz.
Look, I hate the Red Sox more than anything, but that's exactly what they got. Quite frankly, it's exactly what they needed. They HAD to win this game, it's a must win for them due to what's happened the last few days.

My point exactly, each of these games count as 2 games in the standings and the players care about these games more than others no matter how much they deny it.
simmy886
08-20-06, 10:34 PM
And what would you do if that spot came up again?
You do know you lose the DH if you put him in the field.
You still have Wilson or Bernie whichever you didn't use in the first place.
That AB was big because if they could've somehow turned the lineup over, you may have seen a new pitcher face Damon or a tired Schilling face Damon. With a man on. Now Timlin starts the 8th fresh. No brainer to me.
Can we please please PLEASE stop talking about Alex Rodriguez except when he is actually batting?
How I long to see a blown save by Papelbon.
