LHP - CC Sabathia, (2-7 5.67 ERA) VS. LHP - Mike Montgomery, (0-0 0.00) Lets see which C.C. shows up tonight.
Tonight's lineup.................. CF - Gardner (273) LF - Young (223) DH - Rodriquez (282) 1B - Teixeira (241) 3B - Headley (255) RF - Beltran (242) 2B - Pirela (222) C - Murphy (205) SS - Drew (160) Girardi's boy Drew is back in there again & geez why the hell would you have a guy that's hitting 132 over the last month in the 2 hole?
Is there a CC? First two months are gone, time to start establishing SOME kind of pattern or consistency......of course this includes being consistently inconsistent. (amoung a couple of other possibilities) If he throws a "good" game tonight, he's back in the positive mix and we wait again for his next turn and a temporary sigh of relief. If he stinks up the place tonight the vultures may snap to attention. The time has come, time to fill in some "blanks". That's how I see this CC thing - at this point. Go Yanks!
Gregorious getting a night off (Drew), AND Pirela getting another start at 2b. Acceptable to me.....we could be seeing Drew in his new role as the backup SS/2b with Pirela getting a long look at 2b. Acceptable for tonight - unless we want to release Drew immediately and dig up another backup SS/2b? I think it's significant that Pirela is starting again at 2b. Want to see what he can do, and not just in a game here or there. Play this kid!
I don't get it, when they just showed Hernandez in the dugout he was wearing his cap like a grown man with the bill of the cap perfectly lined up to the middle of his forehead. Yet when he's on the mound he goes with the stupid childish goober look with the cap tilted sideways.
Yankees get a gift run, compliments of the blind umpires who didn't call Gardner check swing (went to far) strike 3, prolonging the inning that led to a Teixeira's RBI double. Seattle's mgr & catcher were ejected.
Tonight's Game, was Sold Out, reported from the Head Count @ the Turnstiles, ..... Damned I despise Seattle's ROOT M's channel at all.....to much of Homer's for the most part.....
CC lasted longer, deeper & even looked "Ok" most of the time, I'd say for 5.2 IP, CC looked better than He has so far this year.... 6's - K's, 2 Earned Runs, 2 BB's...., 9 Hits given up. 94 Pitches, 62 for strikes......no long balls......
1 on, 2 Out, top of 9th, McCann in off of the bench, comes in; Singles to Left Field, nice, Runners on the Corners, and WTF, its Go Damned Drew at the plate, game on the line...LINE DRIVE BASE HIT, to RF. Low inside pitch driven to RF, drives in the tying run, (Catcher set up Outside, RP missed His mark........ Gardner Up....
commercial break to bottom of 9th. I swear had Drew's inside low pitch of hit its mark outside, I swear the game would be over....I believe Drew can only hit inside low......he's lost his ability to Hit to ALL Fields at will...... bottom of 9th.....BRB maybe......
Betances walks 1st batter He faces, put winning run on 1stl Austin Jackson... no out, 2nd batter....BTW- Jackson steals 2nd cleanly. Winning Run on 2nd.....2nd hitter Smith K's, up come's Cano dontcha know......
If it were earlier in the game, and not on the line, I'd of drilled him in the ass, tatoo from the Bronx Baby.....Betances throwing 99mph......fk.....!!!!
Top of the 9th, new Relief Pitcher, say goodnight Rodney and straighten your fkn brim up, will ya', or do your ears drain water, cuz its His Head that's on crooked actually, the brim is straight.......golly damned do I despise Rodney King, mentioned as much we all did during the A.S. game last yr..........take that fkn air bow and shove it up yer asss.........1
10th Inning, Jones, Tex, and Headley on base, 1 out, (A-Roids fly out), Beltran hits into a Double Play....
I'm talking to myself........geezus 11th inning, 1:43 am Wed Morn in NY....getting late out West here.......reminds me a bit of the 19 Inning Great earlier in the year......
