Think it’s been weird for Sox fans to root for the Yankees? One of my Sox buddies was cheering with no problem cause he said the alternative was hockey season. Another Sox friend, however, refused to budge. I thought he just didn’t want to give me the satisfaction. Then he said, “What makes you think I want to watch these bastards anymore?”
Point taken.
A month ago, did anyone think the final series against Boston would be essentially meaningless for the Yanks? Dag.
Here’s the lineup:
Derek Jeter SS
Eduardo Nunez 2B
Mark Teixeira DH
Nick Swisher RF
Andruw Jones LF
Jesus Montero C
Jorge Posada 1B
Brandon Laird 3B
Greg Golson CF
Never mind hating the Sox, Russ:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
I root for the Yankees.
Period.
If the situation was reversed, I'd be rooting like hell for the Yankees to win and not caring one way or the other what the Red Sox were doing.
Just remember everyone - while the magic number is now 0, the Magic Number is now 11.
Definitely a have clinched lineup.
Good thing there are season premiers on tonight. bleh!
Damn, 2-0 already???
Crap.
16 pitches ... 3-0??!?!?!?!?
So if Fat Freddie sucks too much now to pitch in the playoffs, and if Bloated Bartolo suck too much now too, and if Hurt Hughes is the same, who do we turn to for the Game 3 starter in the playoffs??? I vote for Noesi and 7 other relievers - God knows its better than that othr guy
this is not the way to instill confidence in you bart.
I'm excited to watch Matt Moore. Rays just keep pumping out great pitching..want no part of them in a short playoff series..
[9] Me too. He was stones in the game against the Red Sox.
Luckily, the Rays aren't going to make the playoffs ...
They got an extra powerful mic on homeplate tonight? Lots of noise back there.
Wow, this kid's got some easy fuggin cheese. Fluid.
[12] He got Natural Gas ...
Yikes..I don't like the thought of Price, Shields and Moore in the Rays rotation next year..let's get this year out the way first though!
A little too much celebrating last night?
Whoa, Cano with some MVP talk!! AB did you post on this earlier today? I havn't checked the previous posts yet this morning.
WE WANT BRACKMAN!
WE WANT BETANCES!!!
I can't muster up too much angst. But ferfuck's sake, Bart. Stinkaroo thus far. Oi!
BETANCES!
BRACKMAN!!!
[19] PROCTOR! PENDELTON!!
[20] YOU WATCH YOUR ASS!
Farnsworth!
Brandon Laird?
Wow, this really IS a AAA lineup tonight ...
[21] STURTZE?
WE WANT BRACKMAN!
WE WANT BETANCES!!
I'm going to do some laundry, have a nice evening everyone!
Bartolo, don't turn into a pumpkin until Halloween.
[26] Watching a spin cycle is better than watching THIS SHIT ...
Awwww, just what I ALWAYS want to see when I watch a Yankees' game ... Scott FUCKING Proctor.
MORE RUNS!!!
YES!
MORE RUNS!
FUCK YOU JOE!
And ANOTHER error for Jeter.
[29] But cult, without Proctor we wouldn't have seen that 750ft home run by Upton! Wasn't that worth it?
Good Night IRENE!
FUCK YOU GIRARDI!
WE WANT BRACKMAN!!
WE WANT BETANCES!!!
I can't be upset at this game. I kind of expect it after the clinch last night. Still, Colon worries me.
[33]
WE WANT BRACKMAN!
WE WANT BETANCES!!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
And it's Aaron Laffey warming up!
I HATE Joe Girardi.
DIEDIEDIEDIEDIE.
[28] So I got this different brand of detergent, it seems a lot stronger than the previous one I used. Half the amount per wash and the clothes still clean! This was a happy development.
Ramiro Pena?
I'm just going to have to walk away now ...
Hits.
I want MORE hits.
FUCK Joe Girardi.
DIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIE.
I mean *you* Joe FUCKING Girardi.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
FUCK YOU GIRARDI!!!!!!!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Cult, it's a hangover game. We've won the East and are in a great position to have homefield advantage through the AL post season. Just think, this is going to make Boston fans sweat more.
[47] Uh, it ain't THAT.
I was completely at peace with a loss in tonight's game, even before the 1st game began.
What I'm pissed about is the fact that Girardi is fucking about in the middle of mediocrity in the worst possible way.
FUCK JOE GIRARDI.
[48] Hasty,hasty..warming up in the pen, Mr. Andrew Brackman!
BRACKMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES!
[48] We're about to win home field advantage through the AL and you're upset?
[52]
my point
~~~~~~~~
your head
[53] Why care at all about tonight's game? Yankees can lose 35-0 for all I care. Get players rest, and even if there's a save opportunity no Mo. Rays are playing for the postseason give up the game to make Boston sweat.
[54] I agree with both you AND Cult. Give up the game, but NOT with Proctor, Laffey, et al. Let's see the kids!!
[55] Here's a man who sees the plan!
Kids ... not squids!
Nune5!!!
[56] But doesn't getting them into a ML game start their 6 year clock? IPK, Joba and Hughes got a looksee one year with no appearance to keep them eligible for arbitration for another year.
[58] Huh?
It's about being on the 40 man roster.
If you are, you is ... regardless if you do ...
Betances!!!
Did everyone see this?
10 internets to Russell!
[61] Yes!
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!
Kontos!
KONTOS!!!
