I have never like Giambi and he has blown any chance the Yanks had in this game. I hope we lose 28-2 now so he gets LAMBASTED ....... he DOES NOT BELONG in the field ..... EVER
<< <i>SIGH ...... you can BET that Giambi won't be playing much 1st base anymore >>
I knew that losing Phillips for the season was going to burn us. I'm just amazed it didn't happen sooner. Mankiewicz will be playing first now with Giambi back to occasional DH and pinch hitting. It's best that he showed us his true 1st base colors before the playoffs.
Pardon me comrades. you have to understand, our 1st Baseman went to the "Billy Buckner School of Defense"
"The answer was in the Patriots eyes. Gone were the swagger and c0ck sure smirks, replaced by downcast eyes and heads in hands. For his poise and leadership Eli Manning was named the game's MVP. The 2007 Giants were never perfect nor meant to be. They were fighters, scrappers....now they could be called something else, World Champions."
That's right Terry burn your Closer out for a series that is more important for the Yankees. GREAT move for Yankee fans.

The Red Sox lead the AL East Division and might very well win it BUT the Yankees have taken the last 8 out of 10 games from you. I am sure you know that, GREAT fans that you are.

<< <i>Guys, you're in the playoffs no matter what, but your pitchers look very very tired out there. Dice K was lucky we didn't slaughter him. >>
Dice-K and Okajima have looked tired for quite some time. I would like to see each take a couple of weeks off. Tired pitchers get the ball up in the zone, don't they? If that's one of the diagnostics, then they both are tired.

There's just no bite on their pitches even when they're locating well, and your closer has obviously been fantastic overall but his velocity seems way down from earlier this year.
Beckett has essentially been our "stopper" this season, not that we really needed one - but a strong game from him today would go a long way towards erasing last night's debacle.
"The answer was in the Patriots eyes. Gone were the swagger and c0ck sure smirks, replaced by downcast eyes and heads in hands. For his poise and leadership Eli Manning was named the game's MVP. The 2007 Giants were never perfect nor meant to be. They were fighters, scrappers....now they could be called something else, World Champions."
Beckett didn't bring his "A" game last time in NY on 8/29 and gave up 4 runs in 6 innings. Ole Josh in on my Fantasy Baseball team but I would take one on the chin for my Fantasy team if Beckett gave up 6 or 7 runs to Wang's 1 run for a chance of the Yankees winning the division and Wang the Cy Young.

Do you really think Wang wanted to hit Youk? You scored a run because of it. Youk crowds the plate and gets hit a lot by other teams as well just as Jeter does. Now Joba that's another story.
"The answer was in the Patriots eyes. Gone were the swagger and c0ck sure smirks, replaced by downcast eyes and heads in hands. For his poise and leadership Eli Manning was named the game's MVP.

It's interesting how Youk has been mentioned twice now in the latest two series, but the Sox fans are silent about Arod getting hit in each of the two games prior to the Youk whining.
despite the fact that he kind of sucks (not at a JD Blew level, of course), Hinske is now a hero in all of Boston, even though he was out. Great play by Posada to hold onto the ball. I do think the concussion was affecting him when he forgot to tag Ellsbury.
<<I think unless he falls apart in the final two weeks he's your Al Cy Young winner>>
I agree. What a difference one day makes.

I told you Beckett would be on today - he completely shut down the Yankees, allowing only 3 hits over 7 innings. Its also worth noting how awful the Yankee bullpen is - who are those guys? Torre kept bringing in one no-name scrub after another. No wonder they get all excited about this Joba kid despite him having pitched less than 20 MLB innings.
Tomorrow, nothing would be sweeter than to mash Clemens. Let's send him off to retirement with a nice Boston farewell.
And, hold on to your hat, but I have to say something good about a Yankee play...that play Posada made at the plate against Hinske was fantastic. Hinske just about knocked him out, and he still held the ball and his position. He gets a tip of the cap for that one.
<< <i> Its also worth noting how awful the Yankee bullpen is - who are those guys? Torre kept bringing in one no-name scrub after another. No wonder they get all excited about this Joba kid despite him having pitched less than 20 MLB innings.

Ahhh what the hell Jer, you HAVE to be called out on the really WEAK bullpen comment.
I would think you would KNOW that it is standard bullpen protocal to bring in the re-treads and recent Sept call-ups in a blow out. Those guys are NOT the Yankee bullpen and I would really hope you would understand that NO TEAM would bring in their go to guys in a game like that this late in the season. SO, in the spirit of getting a jab in on us you could have done a MUCH better job then that weak attempt.

Too bad it's been for his own team. Maybe he's been watching too many JD Blew tapes?
