Freaking Tanyon Sturtze comes in to relieve and on one pitch gives up a 3 run shot to allow the game to be tied. Jeter then comes to the rescue and Sturtze gets the win and rewarded. Proctor who pitched a great game gets nada.

And in third place in the AL wild card.
All this can be yours for the low, low price of just $200 million.
I see you have your 2 new heroes in your signature line.
Good show!
The $200 million dollar Yankee team would kill, I mean absolutely kill, to have two quality starters like Arroyo and Clement in their rotation - rather than the castoffs, rejects, constantly injured, overpaid, and underachieving starters (14 at last count) that they actually have. This is one area I find it hard to believe you would be proud of, Spammy.
That's why ERA is the statistic.
The same thing happened in Game 5 of the ALCS last year which was the turning point of the series. Mariano came in and gave up a sac fly. I remember it well because all the Yankee haters were pointing to a blown save.
WHAT?!?! Proud of? I would say this about any pitcher on any team. I don't like the unfairness.

Where are your posts proclaiming Clemens' greatness?
Clemens has a nearly identical ERA of 1.38 (!), yet has thrown 156 innings, and opposing BA is .191.
Mariano has thrown a third of those innings, just because the yankees suck that bad, he hasn't had the chance to blow that many saves.
Unfair? Wah, get it over it.
I wonder if you still feel the same spammy!
<<I wonder if you still feel the same>>
Absolutely.
He did not blow the lead. He came in with the game tied. Do your homework and read before you post.

He gave up the lead, and still got the win.
Way to avoid admitting he blew it though spammy. Your blindness is hysterical at times.
He came into the game in the 9th inning with the game tied and gave up one run. What don't you understand? Sir, you are pathetic.
"Their closer gave up the go-ahead run, and the winning hit came from a player who was not supposed to get an at-bat."
Guess ESPN is pathetic too?
Go ahead run minus one = tie
Would someone else please explain this to Axtey. Thank you.
Remedial math for Axtey

That quote is from ESPN's website. Why don't you send them a mail and tell them they need remedial math?
First you tell us the other day that Randy Johnson has never won a World Series and now this. Seriously, are you in elementary school or what kind of drugs are you on?
If the yankees had not scored 2 runs in the bottom of the ninth, would Rivera have taken the loss?
If your answer is yes, then HE GAVE UP THE LEAD.
Why is this so difficult for you to understand? He may have come in with the lead tied...but he gave up the lead.
huh?
<< <i>He may have come in with the lead tied

Thanks for adding so much as usual WP.
I meant to type 'he may have come in with the game tied'

Yet you continue to reply and get involved in discussions that have nothing to do with you.
Axtey trying to explain to me over and over again that Mariano blew the lead even though the game was tied reminded me of Abbott and Costello's famous Who is on First routine. Axtey was Costello of course. And Axtey went on and on and on....

And Gemmy went on and on and on about the Yankess, except of course, when they lose.
Pot meet kettle

Yesterday the Yankees won a very exciting game and I didn't say boo. I was only responding to Axtey's inane posts, and what classics they were.
Spammy tell me something...if Schilling comes into a tied game, and gives up a run, has he blown the game? Has he given up the lead?
You are so hypocritical you don't even know up from down....no wonder you're here at 1 am positing.

1 game out of 69?

<<if Schilling comes into a tied game, and gives up a run, has he blown the game? You said blown the lead several times. Learn how to use the English vocabulary and take that remedial math course I pointed you to.

Look, I am a computer programmer and a night owl. I am at the PC a lot and make 80+ bucks an hour depending on my contract and deadlines. During my breaks I like to come to this board to get a laugh from your posts. Last night was classic. Not that I have to respond to your or Shanty-Townie posts about my personal habits.

ANYTIME someone "brags" about the money they make on a forum, is full of it.
Thanks Gemmy!!

Yet you do time and time again.
PATHETIC, just like 'your' spankees.
Please before you post again learn the difference between the simple English words "tie" and "lead".
Are you sure he isn't done?

<< <i>Don't worry Gemmy, when your Yanks are in the postseason certain teams will be at home playing the other sport they love "GOLF"

And which would that be WP? I mean hell do you even follow a team, or just come here to start trouble?
I've seen it all now...someone kissing Spammy's backside trying to gain foum clout takes the cake!
which would that be? do you mean which teams? I'd say the MARINERS, ROYALS, ETC ETC ETC. You know the celler dwellers.
....come here to start trouble? no I do not. this is a PUBLIC FORUM? And i will post whenever i choose.

I like how you conveniently edit out why I posted that WP. You posted:
" Nevermind, guys a joke. To reply would be to lower myself to his level."
To which I posted the above...I simply was saying on one hand, you don't want to 'bring yourself to my level' then on the other, when it suits you, you 'don't back down'.
Funny is all, if not hypocritical.
as for posting here I will and you will just have to deal with it.
grow up, move on.

You mean elevate yourself? Also, why can't you combine your posts into one? Am I so important as to warrant two posts every time you 'lower' yourself to me?
Axtey, wow, man....just think how many posts you spew to me. Your "Tied vs. Winning" thread is a tome onto itself.
it is sad but true.
"he came in with the lead tied" DUH

Oh forgive me for making a typo...unlike you and spammy, I don't go editing every post I make a mistake.
Is that going to be your one thing you hold over me forever? A typo? If that's all, it just goes to show you have nothing else to say.
This all started when I simply replied 'Huh" to a statement you made and instead of just saying "I meant..... YOU had to be a smart ass as usual.
Then of course you had to then go off into 26 different tangents.
next time either ignore me or simply answer me with respect. You would be surprised how well that works. You problem is you seem to always have to put people down. I believe it stems from your feeling inferior to others
now let it go.

What's the context behind the dejected Red Sox picture? Any chance you could make it a little smaller?

Oh and you posting 'huh' isn't a smart assed answer? Good lord you are as hypocritical as the spaminator...I can't believe you 2 aren't the same person!
Answer you with respect? When you earn that my friend, you'll get it. As it stands, you are nothing more than an instigator who gets off on trying to start fights on message boards with people you've never met. I don't always put people down...unless it's you 2 clowns, well you 2 are beyond having reasonable discussions with.
