more baseball to be played........i like it
Opening Day '09
- Thread starter Shiper
- Start date
So do I. I know the Yankees are gonna win it but I want it to carry on. I am going to go out of my mind once baseball is over!
wow, phillies must really suck if they almost blew a 6 run lead to a watered down yankee lineup.
Yeah, it's pretty bad! Granted it was only 4 games but he batted like almost .500 last year if I remember right.
I was wondering where the panic attack kid has been, he must have been a bad boy because he's been banned. Hopefully not for too long.
Ya, not only that, but the Phillies still managed to give up 6 runs on the day that Lee started for them. Either way, lucky for us, we wont see Lee again. The bats are coming on hot right now. It wont be pretty for Pedro in the Bronx. Wait, I said that last time. This time I mean it!!!
Ya, all singles if im not mistaken. I would bet he's trying to do too much. Like he was back in April. He's due for another big hit on Wednesday.
It's funny how the yankees seemed to want to lose at first. Once they were being egged on by the philly fans they responded back. Almost like saying, "you sure you want us to try". No other team in baseball could've closed the gap the way the yankees did. Had jeter hit a base hit, we would probably be sipping champagne right now. It's all good though. Deep down inside, we were all rooting for the phillies tonight. Nothing like winning infront of your home crowd in your brand new stadium.
Being that the series is heading back to NY means one thing. Walk off.
Who will hit it the walk off to win the World Series>?
I think its going to be Matsui. His last at bat ever as a Yankee.

I like matsui a lot, It saddens me that he'll leave this season. Where do you think he'll end up? Do you think he'll keep playing?
He already said that he doesnt want to go back to Japan yet. He wants to stay in the US and play ball, preferably for the Yankees but he knows that may not be realistic given his liabilities. Yanks wont bring him back. Damon will get the contract and be the DH. It will be a sad day when Matsui leaves. He is a class act and a true professional.

Mr. Clutch himself, captain Derek Jeter.... :rockon:
That would be awesome. Imagine how crazy Yankee Stadium would be!
Heres another hypothetical question. Lets say Pettitte goes 6 complete and we have a 1 or 2 run lead. Do you give the ball to Mo for the 3-inning save? Or is that desperation?
Sounds like you've lost a little confidence in the bullpen. I would go to Joba, Marte or even Hughes. Those guys are capable. This Phillies team is impressive offensively, they can hit.
Ya, they can definately rip. I'm actually somewhat confident in both Joba and Marte. Despite giving up the HR, Joba looked good. They havent figured out Marte yet. It would just be hard not to put Mo in the game and lock it down. If not 9 outs, he would atleast be starting the 8th.

I would not. I would use Joba as a bridge to Mo. He is pitching well out of the pen unlike Hughes who apparently has lost all confidence in his stuff.
The bigger question is will Andy go 6-7 strong on short rest??
Is Chad Gaudin not in the WS roster? If he is I'm suprised Girardi hasn't used him yet for anything. He has pretty good stuff from what I've seen.
Good question. I think Andy will surprise everyone. I dont see him dominating by any means, but I think we will see 6 solid innings of 3-4 run ball. The Phillies are a really good fastball hitting team. I think Pettitte's style is perfect to keep them off balance. I want to see Utley get a steady diet of breaking balls from here on out.
Ya, he's on the roster. He wont be used in any high leverage situations though.
Would be nice if it was A-Rod. Shut these worthless critics up.:rockon:
Oh and I give the ball to Joba.
I have freaking tickets to game 6 and I dont think I will be able to make it! I am gonna try to fly out tomorrow. Freakin pissed:fm:
How much were those tickets?
I know some low people in high places
I have 2 tickets I paid a little north of 2k. 1st base side lower level.
