5/16 - Rangers vs. Yankees - Sea Level looks to stop the 2 game losing tide

[Shaun4013]

Hey we have a chance if only ARod would finally hit one of those 9 run HR's that he is always trying to hit.

[Jersey Yankee]

alright yanks, lets make a game of it at least

Lemme guess.

5-pitch inning?

Hopefully, some patience. Perhaps we'll learn to score 6 runs tonight, like we should on a regular basis.

[NelsonMuntz]

Based on what I'm reading I'm actually glad I'm stuck at work right now. I don't think I want to see this.

[Fabien Brandy]

At least Kevin Reese can get some game action. Maybe Villone can get in some work as well.

[Shaun4013]

Watch out!

[Mark19]

well, we might still be in 2nd place at the end of the night


and considering everyone has given up, we might actually get to see some Kevin Reese tonight

[Shaun4013]

Allright Bernie lets make it a 7 run game here..

[fredgmuggs]

And he hits the first batter. This game isn't going to be put in time capsule for future posterity.

[Jersey Yankee]

well, we might still be in 2nd place at the end of the night


and considering everyone has given up, we might actually get to see some Kevin Reese tonight

With the way this game is going, he may end up pitching.

[Shaun4013]

What happens first?:

a) Torre realizes Bernie should not be playing everyday.

b) Gasoline drops to under $1.00 per gallon.

[CoyoteYankee]

I'll be practicing the piano earlier tonight. I hate to be a rat deserting a sinking ship, but.........

I'll check out the carnage later.

Trust me...no one blames you!

[iWant27]

the guy who is pitching for texas looks really young .

[Fabien Brandy]

Small needs 2.33 scoreless innings to get his ERA to 9.00

[Shaun4013]

Hey Andy gets a hit!

[Jace]

Him and Bernie should only be in lineups against lefties. Thats no problem with Torre for Phillips at least

[Gringaloca]

Double!! wtg ANDY!

[Jasbro]

Phillips hits a batting-practice-quality pitch off the wall in right.

[Shaun4013]

Look at Bernies wheels baby!!

[Jersey Yankee]

Why is Cairo at 1B and Phillips the DH? Isn't Phillips better defensively?

[iWant27]

with all these injuries , i still hope Cashman doesn't make stupid trades ....i hope he gives AAAers a chance to play.....
i would love to see young young yankees play this season .

[hdb]

How about a contest to predict the final score?

The winner gets a ticket to the game the next time Chacon pitches.

10-9 yankees

Guess I lose.

[Shaun4013]

Oh ya we are on the board!!

[Dannman103]

nice hit miguel...lets keep it goin

[Jace]

Phillips hits a batting-practice-quality pitch off the wall in right.

Haha come on I know you are protecting Torre's honor for not playing Phillips, but you can give a guy more credit than that

[knickfan23]

Hey we have a chance if only ARod would finally hit one of those 9 run HR's that he is always trying to hit.

With the score 9-0, we have officially entered stat padding territory.

[Jersey Yankee]

Cairo singled to left, Williams scored, Phillips to third.

THUD!!!

[Shaun4013]

Maybe if the score stays like this MLB will let Donnie get some action in at 1B and Gator can eat a few innings and save the pen.

[Jasbro]

Haha come on I know you are protecting Torre's honor for not playing Phillips, but you can give a guy more credit than that

It was a nice hit -- but you can't deny it was a terrible hanging changeup.

[metalyank]

Let's go Yankees, how about 'em 9-run inning!!!!

[Jersey Yankee]

With the score 9-0, we have officially entered stat padding territory.

I thought that padding stats was only when you're winning.

[ICEBERG18]

Im officially blaming the loss on Melky.

[CoyoteYankee]

The comeback begins with a small step...

[Jace]

It was a nice hit -- but you can't deny it was a terrible hanging changeup.

Of course it was a bad pitch, but you are still being selective with your criticism based on who it was. If it were Cairo, who Torre has taken fire for putting in the lineup, you would have said something like "guess Cairo in the lineup was the right move"

[Jersey Yankee]

Cabrera grounded into double play shortstop to second to first, Cairo out at second.

Just what we needed.

[knickfan23]

I thought that padding stats was only when you're winning.

Losing too. Once the slaughter rule is in effect. 9 runs or more.

[Shaun4013]

Its OVER. Just pull the starters, and put in the backups.

Oh wait...the backups ARE starting....

[Jasbro]

Of course it was a bad pitch, but you are still being selective with your criticism based on who it was. If it were Cairo, who Torre has taken fire for putting in the lineup, you would have said something like "guess Cairo in the lineup was the right move"

Really? Did I say that after Cairo's hit?

[Fabien Brandy]

I'm rooting for Melky with all my heart but I'm starting to get a bad feeling about him. Did Cano look this lost last year? I know his numbers were poor but he seemed composed.

[CoyoteYankee]

Would anyone still be calling A-Rod a stat-padder if he had a 3 HR, 10 RBI night tonight?

[Jersey Yankee]

Losing too.

Yeah, I can see that now.

Still, I remember Manny hit a slam, and since the game was already a blowout, someone remarked that only Manny could hit a meaningless grand slam.

[Dannman103]

Of course it was a bad pitch, but you are still being selective with your criticism based on who it was. If it were Cairo, who Torre has taken fire for putting in the lineup, you would have said something like "guess Cairo in the lineup was the right move"

exactly...if someone was to say "Way to go Miguel, good call by Torre putting him in the lineup" they would be criticized because of the game situation

That said, good job by Andy...nice to see him doin a little something for himself

[Jersey Yankee]

Would anyone still be calling A-Rod a stat-padder if he had a 3 HR, 10 RBI night tonight?

Now, but I'd bow at his feet. Not too sure I'd kiss his feet though.

[Jace]

Really? Did I say that after Cairo's hit?

Nah, you were busy refuting me. I'm not mad or anything at all, Im just saying, I definitely got the impression there was an agenda behind your denigration of Andy's hit

[knickfan23]

Would anyone still be calling A-Rod a stat-padder if he had a 3 HR, 10 RBI night tonight?

CY, who's getting on base for that to happen?

[Dannman103]

Its OVER. Just pull the starters, and put in the backups.

Oh wait...the backups ARE starting....

because the starters are injured

[Jace]

Would anyone still be calling A-Rod a stat-padder if he had a 3 HR, 10 RBI night tonight?

10 RBIs and we have 11 runs and are in the lead. He would be a hero

[knickfan23]

What was that in LF there? Good grief.

[CoyoteYankee]

CY, who's getting on base for that to happen?

Good point. I guess he'll have to try for the 9-run HR afterall!

[Jasbro]

Nah, you were busy refuting me. I'm not mad or anything at all, Im just saying, I definitely got the impression there was an agenda behind your denigration of Andy's hit

I didn't criticize the hit -- I criticized the pitch.

Interesting how a comment associated with an Andy Phillips hit must have an agenda, while most of this thread has been a pathetic compilation of lame Torre- and Bernie-bashing one-liners.

But I am the one with an agenda.

[CoyoteYankee]

Woo hoo! Scoreless inning...the comeback continues....
