****Official 2010 New York Yankees Thread***

Semi off topic, but weren't the TV calls of Ganderson's triple and Tex's home run abysmal? You would think Granderson's hit was a lazy fly ball. I was looking at the TV and thinking, "Jesus - it looks like this ball could go out, but the announcer doesn't seem to excited." Same thing on Tex's shot. I figured it was foul, hence the reason the announcer was so matter of fact. They really blew those two calls.

 

because that spoonhead Buck hates the Yankees.....they all hate the Yankees....which is why loves when other people wanna jump off the bridge when they win.....like for I could care less if the Sox win...

 

Aight boys....up 1 game, I believe the pressure is totally on Minny, they CANNOT lose this game or its pretty bad from their end. I believe a pressure-less Yankees team is a dangerous one, they can go out and located and find pitches to hit. If they lose ehh it isnt the end of the world they already took 1 and have secured HFV back to NY....but come on to get this game is ohhhhhh soooo good no?!?!

With the Yankees I take a very laize faire atittude I have seen 5 championships, if I die tomorrow I will be totally content on not seeing anymore. Not much at all bothers me with the Yankees, even if they lose, however obviously that doesnt mean I want to see it.

Except one thing guys, there is one thing that bites my *** still to this day when thinking about baseball and the Yankees...that being said two words...Carl Pavano..You simply dont do what this guy did to this team or any team for that matter, the guy is a coward, and I hope he gets firebombed tonight against this lineup....consider this...I hope you Yankee fans out there, get a little hot when you see this guy tonight...think about how bad it was for JETER TO SAY THIS TO SOMEBODY?!?!?!?! I only wish this was in NY....

According to multiplesources (I haven’t read the book) Joe Torre allowed the Pavano situation to culminate into a planned confrontation in the spring of 2006. Torre reportedly invited Pavano to join the team on its last trip of that spring training so that all the players would have an opportunity to confront Pavano about how much they didn’t like him and thought he was milking his injury time. According to Torre, the Yankees teammates didn’t even care enough to confront Pavano at that point.
Bullpen catcher Mike Borzello recounted this gem about Derek Jeter giving Pavano the proverbial business.

“Guys on that team despised him. One day Jeet walked by him and said, ‘Hey, Pav. You ever going to play? Ever?’ Wow. That was a damaging comment, coming from Jeter. He didn’t say a whole lot, but when he said something like that, it was pretty piercing.”

its funny but this seems like one of the weakest teams we've ever thrown into the playoffs and yet i still think its 50/50 we win it all. how great is it to be a Yankee fan?

 

That gets me so pissed....just throw it down the middle and pray...I think there is a role for AJ in this postseason....you havent heard the end of him yet....

 

Even if it is for an inning out of the pen alla Hughes last year....AJ can be very dominant or very bad.....he is a mind boggle...

 

well the pitching is what i meant. we have sabbathia and a bunch of question marks. even mariano isnt his old dominant self though he did nicely last night. woods is giving up hits all of a sudden. i really want him to regain that dominance he flashed earlier. but we do have the bats

 

2nd season AP 2nd season, dont listen to the experts, Andy was very good before his groin got to him, his arm is fresh.....maybe too fresh like CC last night....

Thing is with Andy you know he knows what he has to do, playoff time is Andy time.......

AP this make you feel better....? Play this loud......

agreed about petitte but he hasnt shown he's back yet thats why i put him as a question. one good game and i'll feel cconfident about him


and yes that song does make me feel better

it would be cool if they played that song in the stadium as the yankees took to the field

 

wide strikezone tonight unlike last night......thats good for Andy.....

I hope Pavano keeps his pitches up in the zone....that will catch up to him soon...they are hitting hard outs off him...

 

struggling....andy is..but battling...

 

granderson double. ever since he got that help from long he's been on a tear

 

okay 2nd time through now lets see...

 

we are rocking the hits this 4th against pavano. how was that a single lol

 

ohh look the Pederoia laser show.....1-1

yeah BDH...Pavano is getting BS outside K calls to left hander...

 

So I will count you, Schilling, and questech are friends...

come on Andy 1,2,3...lets go buddy

 

NICE!!! andy dealing now 49 pitches thru 4.....

this guy refuses to call a low strike.....which will benefit the Yankees.....elevate that fastball Carl.....and watch the laser show begin...

 

Pumaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Nice Berkman...

 

andy in a groove

 

somebody say something about questions marks.....??

 

scratch one question mark

 

feed the puma!

 

lol. pavano should have got that strike but i'll take it. yanks back up

 

I have more of an issue with the ump tossing Gardy than him missing the call. It happens once and awhile but there's no excuse for an ump thinking he's bigger than the game, which they all do because MLB offices don't say boo to them.

 

the inning by Wood was just as important IMO. I'm feeling alot better about this team after tonight's performance

 

thing is Fink, and I get the reason why he is pissed, but he was getting that Roger Clemens-esqe outside garbo call all night....he cant have everything...I will say that ump was consistantly not calling the inside pitch at all, and that wasnt the first time that call wasnt called a strike...

Berkmans interview at the end of the game said it all

 

so it looks like us tanking it the last two weeks really paid off.

 

I'm 42 and I have been lucky enough to see Andy pitch since he came up in '96 (I've met him too - nice guy). The guy is money in the playoffs (for the most part - that game against Arizona was awful). I feel so confident when he is on the mound. He was a little off in the first few innings - he can't be missing up in the zone. But once he settled in, he was great, sans the one bad pitch that left the yard.

Someday I will be telling my grandkids about the Yankee great, Andy Pettite (my son is 15, so he knows all about him )

Minn is done. Bring on Texas!
