And apparently we have seen the last of Mo.
[1] Modammit.
I was wrong, I thought for sure he'd come in for the save if it was possible in today's game.
Doh!
If he's not going to be in the bullpen tonight, Joe really ought to send Mo out to get Andy when the time comes tonight.
Andrew Eugene Pettitte.
Andy is a Golden God.
Let's hope he gets the W so he doesn't have a losing record on his ledger.
Heh, his opposite is Paul Clemens. Appropriate.
[4] Exactly!
Was hoping you'd have a chance to watch tonight!
[1] Good. That means I saw his last game.
[3] yeah, would be cool if Mo gets Andy!
Ooh, I wish I could watch. Not on tv here and we're at an outdoor festival at a local park. I'll search for highlights later.
Shit, I should call my Ma and tell her to dvr it... I watched his every pitch from Sunday and there's something about seeing Andy in pinstripes that makes it more regal or important or final or something...
[8] Let me know if you don't find a way to watch it. I could probably hook you up with my mlb.tv login if you wanted to watch the replay.
[9] holy crap. So super cool of you, cult! I really appreciate that, man : )
I'll shoot you a text if it comes to that...
GO ANDY!!! GO YANKS!!
Aw nerts. Heads up baserunning by the Astros.
Huh, the game is in the 4th inning?
I thought it was a 5:10 start.
Grrrrrrr ...
The defensive marvel just let a run score from second on a ground out.
Fuck. A 1-0 defecit feels like we're 10 runs behind.
They do realize they're facing Paul Clemens, right???
Well, fuck.
Mariano Rivera told reporters in Houston that Thursday’s final appearance at Yankee Stadium was the last game of his glorious career.
He will not pitch during the Yankees’ final series of the 2013 season at Minute Maid Park.
“I’m done, guys. I’m done,” Rivera said. “I gave everything that I have. I think Thursday was the game that I left everything on the field.”
“I think I squeezed every ounce of fuel that I have in my tank,” Rivera said. “It’s empty…I have nothing left.”
Rivera also revealed that he had been pitching through “tremendous soreness” in his arm during the 2013 season. He declined to say how long he had been hurt.
“I don’t want to tell you that,” he said. “It’s over.”
Now, how about we get some fucking runs, so Andy doesn't end the year below .500?!?!?!?
Take some pitches now.
Cut on his thumb?
That's just weird.
Damn, just foul.
Fugh.
Looked fair live. Clearly foul though
Robbie ties the game. Get some more now.
That was just so Yankees - 2013.
That was weird, but I'll take the lead.
Wish it were more, though.
That's *also* just so Yankees - 2013 ...
You know, for all the hype, Brendan Ryan's defensive play has been, I don't know, acceptable? Certainly not Ozzie Smith or anything
Ugh.
I'm really not feeling Curtis Granderson, 2014 Yankee.
More runs please!
Andy's through 7!
I suppose this is just me, but I'm rather irritated at Mo right now.
Andy did you a solid @ NYS, how come you can't be bothered to get up and save his last game?
KNEEL BEFORE ZEID!!!
Claiborne up in case we don't want Pettitte to get a win for some reason?
Standing O.
Andy fucking rules!!!
Hell of a career Andy
[31] i hear ya, cult. that would be pretty wonderful and rather fitting. ending at yankee stadium was pretty perfect, though. but, mainly, it sounds like his forearm is bothering him...
let's get some geico runs and win this game with no 9th inning drama!
Andy to pitch the 9th?!
[37] I'm very selfish. If I can say I went to his last game period, I'll be very happy.
[39] i hear ya. i'm good with anything, so long as Andy gets the W tonight!
High Socks better come in.
[40] As long as Andy gets the W tonight ...
Do you give him 1 baserunner?
offensive offense.
ANDY!!!
One down.
1 down.
2 to go...
2 down!
1 to go...
Two down.
God I'm nervous.
One more strike!
Stupid fucking shitty team just role over and die
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.
Leaving him in
ack
YES!
DO THIS, ANDY!!!
Come on blue.
end it on a pickoff, haha! ; )
WOO HOO!
ANDY!
ANDY!!!!!!!!!
Andy is a Golden God!!!!
Mo who?
GREAT JOB, ANDY!!!
THANK YOU.
Thank you for everything, Andy!!!
Miss you already...
I hope Donovan Osbourne never wears #46 ever again. And by Donovan Osbourne, I mean...any future Yankee.
Andy in the regular season has a career winning % of .626
Postseason is .633
Thank you, Andy. Thank you for all the wins, all the smiles, all the glares over your glove.
God I'm going to miss him.
Well done, Andy. Very well done!
[64] And the gunslinger stare.
[62] Agreed. 46 should be retired. I will wear my 46 jersey still, though. ;)
i love the stare. hat down, glove up, eyes locked in.
sounds like a beautiful scene in houston. i hope to watch video footage later...
[67] My friend, I am lucky enough to get YES's national feed (thanks FiOS), so I am recording the post game show. Which ought to interrupt Billy Martin Yankeeography any moment now. If I can get it on a DVD, I will happily send you a copy.
Very good night, all.
[68] oh man, you are too kind!!! i very much appreciate that.
i shoulda had my parents record it for me. they dvr'ed the Mo game...
i hope YES puts up a bunch of videos later tonight. watching the whole game would be fun. i recorded Andy's last game at the Stadium on Sunday and had a blast watching every pitch. well, except for the one Panda hit...
Cool Andy quote:
"I love to play the game. I love to pitch. It's a shame to get old."
That was just a fantastic way to end it.
I dunno if it's because we've got our first kid during a week or what, but these last few nights have left me a little verklempt in a "last week of high school" kinda way.
[72] due in a week! not during a week.
Andy.
