10/6/06 Game 3 ALDS NYYankees @ Detroit Tigers

[PeteRFNY]

yanks simply got unlucky tonight. these games happen.

They seem to happen an awful lot in October around here the last few years.

You think any reporter will have enough cajones to ask Rogers in the post-game press conference, "Kenny...you were never man enough to pitch a big game like this when you played in New York...what has changed since then?".

[RIyankee]

Somewhere...out there...could be New York...vould be Tampa...George Steinbrenner III pulls out the case that holds the special bludgeoning axe that he has not used since the end of Billy Martin's last tenure...

Since 2003 I have been thinking that there will come a point when this team will get blown up and rebuilt from scratch...if they spit the bit tomorrow - against the TIGERS - the time may finally be here.

Sadly, I agree.

You're a complete joke of a fan, the Yankees were the best team in baseball in 2006, but it doesn't mean they will win the WS, or even get out of the ALDS.

Actually, while dabomb's comment is somewhat out of line, questioning another member's fandom is clearly not good.

[GreenGrass]

Throughtout the 2006 season, the Yankees had a handful of losses where they hit rock bottom (the loss against Baltimore before Boston Massacre II comes to mind).

Everytime the team bounced back and went on winning streaks.

Tough one tonight.

Thanks to those who posted.

With all the substance abuse out there tonight, Please Drive Safely!

[Brooklyn Yankee Fan]

Who would have thought Kenny Rogers was going to pitch the way he did.

I really hope a player steps up in the lockeroom tonight and gets the team pumped. I think it'd make more of an impact coming from a fellow teammate then it maybe coming from Torre.

For what it’s worth, for a guy with a herniated disc – and having one myself – I think Johnson pitched his ass off out there tonight. He got ZERO run support from a lineup that seems to have had it’s balloon completely deflated by Mussina’s inability to hold a lead in Game 2 (“Gee, I guess we DO have to score eight runs in every game in order to win”).

Right now I have this image in my head of George in his living room like Belushi in Animal House - screaming, "Mussina? DEAD! A-rod? DEAD!"...

Thank You Michael Kay For Saying How Disgraceful It Was..

The line up needs a spark, bench Bernie, DH Melky. Cabrera doesnt have a ton of at bats against Bonderman but he is 3 for 6...bernie 2 for 12. Sheff is a career 167 against him so I dont want to see him in the line up either.

Eff it. Let's go bowling.

[JDPNYY]

Have a good night all.

Thanks to those who didn't cash in the season tonight.

[BroadwayBomber55]

Good night everyone, see you in Game 4.

[cmaff05]

We'll get them tommorow.

[Lily28]

For what it's worth Rogers post game said he wanted this game tonight more than he's ever wanted anything and boy did it show! He was a man possessed.

[montyque]

Doooooomed!

[Slyde Slick]

Nah, I can't let that be the last post. And so, my away message for the night:

"Wrong on the number, but not on the series prediction. Yankees in 5."

[LecheCaberera2826]

After the game last night i had hope that the yankees would almost definately take game 4 easily. Bonderman your going down!!! Wright is going to pitch his heart out today i can feel, going to get revenge on Jimmy Leyland "stealing his ring"!!
