[dwalsh]

ROBBY CANO!!!!

He is FINALLY back...




SIDE NOTE:
Chien-Ming Wang hasn't allowed a run in 18 innings. 13-4, 3.58. If he continues like he is going, he should get some thoughts when they are considering the Cy Young. He has been the most consistent starter the Yankees have had all season (right with Moose)

[AMJets]

O'Neill and Leiter in the booth tonight, awesome. Too bad Kay is awful, but 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

[The Dark Knight]

Welcome back Cano!!!!!!!!!!!! :beer:

[dwalsh]

Damon leads it off with a SINGLE

[AMJets]

Damon reaches on the ERROR.

[dwalsh]

Nevermind, reach on error

[AMJets]

Ugh, 1 out.

[dwalsh]

Jeter fouls out

[AMJets]

Big jump for Damon, SB.

[dwalsh]

Damon steals 2nd

EDIT: 10p10 is beating me to all of thse

ABREU WITH RBI SINGLE

[AMJets]

RBI single Abreu!

1-0 NYY

[dwalsh]

hah, beat you too it... n00b

[The Dark Knight]

1-0 Early. I like it.

[AMJets]

hah, beat you too it... n00b

Don't try to be funny. It just makes you look like an even bigger embarassment than you already are to this board.

[Drew]

ARod will fuck up.

[Drew]

...he got lucky.

[AMJets]

That's what happens when Giambi DH's. Let him play 1B.

[Drew]

That's what happens when Giambi DH's. Let him play 1B.

No. Then my boy Craiggy doesn't get to play.

[Jetfanmack]

Although I also don't want to see what happens in the field when Giambi plays 1B. He can play there some when Sheff or Matsui gets back, but I don't want him out there that much.

[Jetfanmack]

No. Then my boy Craiggy doesn't get to play.
We've had him for a week; how's he your boy already?

[Drew]

We've had him for a week; how's he your boy already?

I liked him when he was a Pirate. Craig's the man.

And yes, I called a grown man Craiggy.

[AMJets]

No. Then my boy Craiggy doesn't get to play.

I like Wilson a lot, but since he's not a real good defensive player, I wouldn't have a problem with him being the DH. Giambi is so dominating offensively at 1B compared to DH, despite his poor defense, he benefits the team more when he's in the field.

[AMJets]

Cano with the gun!!!!!!!

On a side note, I wish Wang could just start home games. His home/away splits are very severe.

[Drew]

Welcome back Robby!

haha.

[dwalsh]

CANO!!!!! (and ABREU)

he looked safe though

[Jetfanmack]

WELCOME BACK ROBBY!

But he was safe.

[dwalsh]

It was a close play... but safe none the less

[AMJets]

9 pitches. Nice.

[AMJets]

For those interested in what I was saying before:

Wang
Home: 2.66 ERA / .227 BAA
Away: 4.99 ERA / .316 BAA

[dwalsh]

21 games in the upcoming 20 days... unbelievable

Also in there, a 5 game series with the BoSox

[dwalsh]

Posada swinging on 3-1 and fouls out to third


DUE UP: ROBINSON CANO

[dwalsh]

hanging line drive into the gap, but caught

[The Dark Knight]

ITS DREW'S BOY! :up:

[AMJets]

Wilson rules.

[Jetfanmack]

Yeah, Wilson!

[dwalsh]

"Craiggy" with the homerun

[The Dark Knight]

Can Wilson be my boy too?

[AMJets]

Good to see him do it against a right-handed pitcher.

[AMJets]

"Craiggy" with the homerun

Uh oh Drew, now your nickname for him looks REALLY lame.

[Drew]

Craiggy!!!

Craiggy!!!

[Drew]

That movie Zoom looks amazing! :lol:

[Drew]

And Damnit, I want a Craiggy jersey.

[AMJets]

FYI, Wang has a chance to become the first pitcher in (forget how many years, but a really long time) to win 20 games and have 75 or less strikeouts.

[AMJets]

God is he awful on the road.

[The Dark Knight]

God is he awful on the road.
You sadly seem to be correct.

[AMJets]

Well, atleast the White Sox have awful enough pitching where we might be able to win.

[AMJets]

Thank GOD.

[The Dark Knight]

What is Wang's road record?

[AMJets]

Home: 9-1, 2.66 ERA
Road: 4-3, 4.99 ERA

[AMJets]

Fucking unreal.

[AMJets]

Thank you Jorge.

[The Dark Knight]

Home: 9-1, 2.66 ERA
Road: 4-3, 4.99 ERA
Wow.

Atleast we are only down 1 after 2.

[AMJets]

Damon's streaky play is truly annoying.

[AMJets]

That guy screaming before every pitch is pissing me off.

[jetsaholic1094]

That guy screaming before every pitch is pissing me off.

I was thinking the same thing. That fan has an annoying, whiny, high-pitched voice that sounds as if he's been kicked in the nuts one too many times.

[AMJets]

Abreu 2-2. Him and Wilson the only two doing anything.

[AMJets]

A-Rod!

Thank you. 4-3 NYY

[Jetfanmack]

ARod is teh sux

[AMJets]

Boston 0
Kansas City 2
Bot 2nd

[dwalsh]

Wang will bounce back

[AMJets]

Learn how to pitch on the road for fuck's sake.

[The Dark Knight]

Wang will bounce back
Or not. :breakdance:

[dwalsh]

This ump isnt giving him anything

[AMJets]

Man is he lucky tonight. Sox should have 5-6 runs minimum by now.

[TITANS63]

Luck ? Baseball is a game of skill and expertese. Luck is what transpires at Atlantic City. Wang has been in these situations all year long.

[AMJets]

Wang has been in these situations all year long.

No he hasn't. He has a 2.50 WHIP tonight. His control has been suspect and he's not getting the ball has been hit harder off him than usual. Even the DP ball was hit hard. His arm is hanging way lower than usual, also.

[The Dark Knight]

Luck ? Baseball is a game of skill and expertese. Luck is what transpires at Atlantic City. Wang has been in these situations all year long.
Nah 10P10 is correct.

Should be about 8-4 right now.

Take away the error in the first maybe 8-3.

[AMJets]

Nice job, you ass.

[The Dark Knight]

What a small Wang indeed.

[Jetfanmack]

Luck ? Baseball is a game of skill and expertese. Luck is what transpires at Atlantic City. Wang has been in these situations all year long.
Baseball pitchers have minimal control over where the ball goes once its hit. Wang has a key ability to keep the ball on the ground usually, but whether it goes through a hole or goes to a fielder, he has very little control.

[AMJets]

Villone's been good all year for the Yankees, and just now is he truly gaining Torre's "trust".

*Sigh*

[AMJets]

What a BS call. That's a strike.

[Cakes]

I hope the White Sox do good.

[TITANS63]

Guys why would you sit by the computer and watch a baseball game and post a play by play,or your complaints.I dont know about you but i enjoy sipping a cold brew or squeezing my honey.Whats the infatuation about being on the computer during a game?

[AMJets]

So... why are you here then?

[Cakes]

I have a tv behind me and I am drinking a cold one.

Now, watching Jets games while on the computer. Now that is just deplorable. Football watching requires more focus. This season I may be active in MNF threads and Thursday night game threads and maybe an occasional Sunday game, but I will probably never be active in a Jets game thread.

[AMJets]

Wilson was safe. Idiot ump.

[Jetfanmack]

So how exactly did you type this out if you're not in front of a computer?

[TITANS63]

So... why are you here then?


Very intelligent comeback did someone help you ?

My team is not on T.V thats why.

[AMJets]

Wow... close.

[TITANS63]

Wow... close.


But no cigar.............

[AMJets]

Very intelligent comeback did someone help you ?

My team is not on T.V thats why.

To be honest, I don't even know why I asked that. It's not like I care or anything. My bad.

My bad.

[Jetfanmack]

Villone out. Veras in.

[TITANS63]

To be honest, I don't even know why I asked that. It's not like I care or anything. My bad.

My bad.


You are forgiven.And to be honest i dont care if you care or not.

[Jetfanmack]

None of these pitches are there. Come on Veras..

[Jetfanmack]

Strike one! Party!

[AMJets]

Great throw JoPo.

[AMJets]

Bases loaded for Giambi. But it's the DH Giambi, not 1B Giambi.

[AMJets]

All right, we'll take it. :rofl2:

[Jetfanmack]

Captain Clutch Giambi!

[AMJets]

Hopefully Farnsworth can just get through this inning, he's definitely rusty from all that rest after the injury.

[The Dark Knight]

Posada needs to shave and hopefully get a hit tomorrow.

[AMJets]

Farns is awesome.

[AMJets]

2-4 with a 2B.

Nice return for Robbie.

[jetsaholic1094]

LOL, what the fuck was that?!? You all heard that too, right?

[AMJets]

What the hell was that noise?

[The Dark Knight]

Jenks is pretty good.

[Jetfanmack]

DID YOU KNOW?

Yankees have hit zero sac flies all year.

[The Dark Knight]

DID YOU KNOW?

Yankees have hit zero sac flies all year.
I know at the Orioles game I went to on Friday they had atleast 3 chances and blew it.

[Cakes]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AMJets]

Disgrace.

Fucking disgrace.

[jetsaholic1094]

And Chicago is right back in it! Wow, nice homer off Mo!

[jetsaholic1094]

Awesome throw by Posada. Had that guy by a mile.

[The Dark Knight]

Disgrace.

Fucking disgrace.
Hey, it happens.

[AMJets]

Posada has been like Pudge this year, incredible.

[Jetfanmack]

3 gone. We'll beat them. Jeter-Abreu-ARod.

[The Dark Knight]

Shall we go to Extras? :beer:

[AMJets]

Predictable.

[Exit 117]

WGN's announcers are worse than YES's.

[Hofstra Jet]

terrible job by bernie.. 3 pitches..

[GreenMachine]

WGN's announcers are worse than YES's.
If I here "He gone" again I am going to puke. WTF sort of English do they teach in Chicago?

[AMJets]

Blowing them away. A rested Proctor is a good Proctor.

[Hofstra Jet]

way to be scott proctor

[jetsaholic1094]

If I here "He gone" again I am going to puke. WTF sort of English do they teach in Chicago?

Maybe the same english that spells "hear" as "here"? :)

[AMJets]

That was almost unfair.

[The Dark Knight]

Proctor is a beast!!!!!!!!!! :beer:

[GreenMachine]

Maybe the same english that spells "hear" as "here"? :)
Oops.....I just got owned:lol:

[The Dark Knight]

Welcome back Cano. 3 hits including 1 off of Jenks.

[The Dark Knight]

Drew's boy blew it.

[Hofstra Jet]

damn.. jenks got melky after 3-0.. 0-5

[AMJets]

Boston lost to KC. Hah.

[The Dark Knight]

Red Sox lose. :lol: :up:

[AMJets]

Well, atleast Boston lost...

[The Dark Knight]

Well, atleast Boston lost...
Keep the Faith.

I hear crickets. That means the game is over and it's time to go to bed.

[The Dark Knight]

SON OF A BITCH :sad:

Hopefully we can rebound.

[AMJets]

Nice job girl arm.

[The Dark Knight]

Who is Cakes a fan of?

[Hofstra Jet]

arod should have caught that foul ball, gave dye the extra swing

[BIG COUNTRY]

Ugh missed it, doesnt sound like I needed to see it.

[The Dark Knight]

Enough of the Should of Could ofs.

This game could have gone many ways.

The Yankees should of gotten a sacrifice fly to get a 2 run lead.

Wang should of allowed about 8 runs instead of 4.

Crazy game indeed.

[jetsaholic1094]

A-Rod misses a manageable out -> Dye drives in the winning run with the swing. I know picking on A-Rod is the trendiest thing to do in NY these days, but did he just blow the game?

[Cakes]

Who is Cakes a fan of?

Mets


As for the AL,
I like the Angels.


The entire AL East blows. I don't like the A's and Rangers.

[AMJets]

He had a great offensive game, and that was a very difficult play. Can't get on him for that.

Ok NYJ14percentofthetime:breakdance:

[DROB63Cmart28]

Fuckin that was bullshit. Oh well were gonna win the next 2 games the whitesox got lucky as hell we didnt come through for more runs when we needed.

[Jetfanmack]

Damn. I posted more on the nyyfans.com game thread, but that's a disappointing loss.

[Cakes]

Ok NYJ14percentofthetime:breakdance:

It's not even remotely close to that.

Do I watch Angels games during the regular season? Almost never. I do not get my money's worth out of MLB Extra Innings.

I am a Mets and Jets fan. End of discussion. I am not even a good fan of my alma mater's teams.

But if I'm asked to name my favorite baseball team from the other league, I answer "Angels." And that's going back to the Ruppert Jones and George Hendrick days, not just the recent Yankees-ass kickin' days.

[EcKo151]

What a horrible loss. And with Boston losing to KC it makes it that much worse...Could have padded the lead...Tough loss, damn.

[typeOnegative13NY]

What a horrible loss. And with Boston losing to KC it makes it that much worse...Could have padded the lead...Tough loss, damn.
well,atleast Boston didn't gain any ground.

[EcKo151]

well,atleast Boston didn't gain any ground.
Which is fine...But an inning away from gaining another game on Boston is huge this late in the year...KC actually did their part when most if not all of us assumed Boston would sweep KC.

[Cakes]

I would be surprised if the Red Sox win the division. Yankees fans should focus on rooting for the Rangers or A's to win the West and the Twins to beat out the White Sox for the Wild Card.

[Jetfanmack]

I would be surprised if the Red Sox win the division. Yankees fans should focus on rooting for the Rangers or A's to win the West and the Twins to beat out the White Sox for the Wild Card.
The LAST team I want to see in the playoffs is the Twins. Liriano and Santana. No thank you.

[EcKo151]

I would be surprised if the Red Sox win the division.
The last team I will count out in baseball is the Red Sox...Just something about them makes me twitch when people start counting them out, as if they get some fire when people do that...No thanks.

[Cakes]

The LAST team I want to see in the playoffs is the Twins. Liriano and Santana. No thank you.

The Yankees would slap that team around.

[The Dark Knight]

This is going to be an exciting 2 months.........
