Yeah, I can totally bat lefty! *hits .120* Yeah, I can do your wiring! *fries every appliance in home* Look, this game is too depressing to talk about directly.
I think it's more like if a guy comes to fix your microwave. After the he fixes the microwave, an electronic object, you ask him to fix your computer, assuming since he specializes in one electronic object that maybe he can do this one. He does a below average job on your computer, causing your fast, really fast internet to now just be kind of fast. Conclusion: He bats a .300 in microwave fixing, but a .120 in computer fixing. He should stick to microwaves. /end thread
Fuck baseball and the Yankees...it's football season. (I'm a Yankee fan and a meh/casual baseball fan)
This reminds me of Game 7 of the 1960 World Series Casey Stengel didn't start Whitey Ford and he was hammered and eventually fired for it and then we all know how it ended......
Its over fellas...We have a lack of motivation on this team...Girardi has been a pussy on the bases as well. The pitchers have been weaksauce as well, and our bullpen looks like their puppy died. These guys must be still sleeping with their 2009 rings The best ring thus far I have seen
Oh don't say that. The sport of baseball has nothing to do with motivation or this mythical "heart" thing some people talk about. Just ask the guys in this thread! F this team. Yeah, Girardi is a retard, but this loss wasn't on him. In hindsight, I'm starting to wonder how much of any of this is truly his fault. I don't even know what the statistic is up to at this point, but going into last night we were 1 for 19 with RISP and we managed to leave more stranded last night. As I've been saying all motherfucking season, and hearing the BS "it'll all work out" shit, the Yankees do not hit with RISP and it was going to catch up to us when the playoffs came around. You can point at the starting pitching as a major cause, but that ignores the fact that no one hits. Did Posada do anything better when he came in last night than Cervelli had done to that point? Nope. Did Thames drive in runs once Tex went down? Nope. What did Berkman do? Squat beyond his "almost" homer. 5 runs is not insurmountable for this team if they play to their ability. They don't bother though. No one except Gardner and Granderson run hard (and Granderson is only doing it on dropped third strikes.) The only things I honestly think you can fault Girardi and the pitching with last night was 1) the intentional walk to Murphy and subsequently not relieving Burnett to pitch to Molina and 2) putting in Mitre in for the ninth rather than Rivera. Beyond that, no one executed. How does a manager fix that? If there are less than 2 outs and runners on second and/or third, and you don't score, over and over again, there isn't much managing you can do. You all know I'm no Girardi fan, but I find it really hard to find fault with him today. If the Yankees drive in even a couple of the available runs they had last night, Molina never saves the day, AJ leaves the game a hero in the 7th, and Wood and Mo shut the door. But don't worry, this team won 95 games this year without any heart. They can still win this thing.
