Marcus at night is big and bright
Thursday, August 12, 2010 at 12:37 am by SJK
Deep in the heart of Texas, Marcus Thames went 3-5, delivering a moonshot home run in the 8th to close the Yankees' deficit to one run, and then hit a go-ahead single in the 9th to complete the comeback.
Huge win.

That looks like me.
Cause all y’all black peoples look da same.
He went 3-5
Hey guys, can I play too?
Marcus was HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE tonite. Especially in the live game chat bitches. As always i was Knoblauchian small…A BOMB has a page…didn’t ya know?!?
Marcus Thames has had some big hits for this club in a limited role. He’s quiet and doesn’t complain about playing time. He just wants to be a team player and help contribute and he has in some meaningful ways.
I’m the world’s most expensive pinch runner!
Howdoyalike that Suzyn. Cliff Lee dealing. The Yankees still scratch out a very important win. It just goes to show no matter how many times I’ve said it…YOU JUST CAN’T PREDICT BASEBALL.
You know John, I wish they would replace you w/ Tim McCarver.
I’m a loaner, Dottie, a rebel.
Marcus has been excellent this season. All the fuss at the beginning of the year was due to Girardi playing him in the field, which is a big no-no. Now that he’s DH only, he’s maximizing his value.
ok now we don’t need Jose Guillen
Cocaine is a helluva drug
Large Marge sent me
what a GREAT!!! at bat by Berkman to lead off the 9th, great AB.
Also while k-rod was getting arrested we got to see a True Legend give up a lead off triple and then go on to seal the deal in the 9th.
Jeter 3 more hits last night, now batting .280. It’s amazing how he’s able to do this in the mist of his catastrophic decline Nomass loves to talk about. What’s his strikes swung at % now? is it ok to resign him yet? or is Julio Lugo still a more attractive option to play ss next year?
People still don’t recognize us, but we’re contenders now!
I’ve got your glooooo-ooooove :)
If only it was the top of 9th in a close game, he have never been able to hit me..
What happened to the guys who photoshopped from 05-07ish? The graphics lately have been amateur hour.
There’s still no basement at the Alamo.
Fake Yankee Fan,
Please enlighten us with the contract that you believe the Yankees should give Jeter. I’d like to know what you think he is worth going forward.
Derek Jeter will receive a 3-year $20M per w/ ownership incentives at the end of his contract.
Well there is a 100% chance he is coming back. I really dont care what they pay him. I really hope its a ridiculous contract just so i can laugh at all the people that will cry, bitch, and whine over it. Maybe something like 3 years 60 million. I’d love it, peoples panties would instantly bunch.
Does it matter what we pay Jeter? Lets say they pay him the same rate he makes now, does it really mater? NO!!!!!
will the yankees not sign someone or make a move to better the team because Jeter is making to much? Nope.
Jeter can be my SS till whenever he likes, i dont care what your made up stats say. Give Jeter a blank check it will have no affect on the Yankees or how they do business what so ever.
If this was on PS3 id try to sign him to a 3 year deal for his market value, but it’s not a video game.
Lets say Petitte retires, Javy walks. Are the yanks not going to sign a Cliff Lee because they just signed Jeter to a 3 yr deal at the rate he makes now? Nope, guess what Lee would be a Yankee.
So what does it matter if they pay him 3 yrs 30mil or 3 years 60 mil? I mean would it help you sleep better at night if the payroll was 180 and not 200+?
I’m just glad i’m old enough to remember some of the ss’s before Jeter. The whole thing is just a non issue to me and i dont know why people stress over it in the least. I mean when/if someone comes along in the next couple years and proves they are a better asset at SS then Jeter then it’s time to maybe rethink things and find a new position or DH him, Ramiro Pena IS NOT that guy.
People talk about the guy like he’s some sort of detriment to the team, should we have pinch hit for him last night? Oh that’s right in the midst of an off season for Jeter he came through in the clutch. Yeah it wasnt a blazing single but it found a hole and GOT THE JOB DONE. Just likes he’s been doing for 15 years and IMO years to come.
I have no doubts that Fake Yankee fan beats off to pictures of Derek Jeter. No. Doubts.
It matters because the Yankees actually do have a budget, and that extra $10 million they waste on Jeter is $10 million they can’t spend on somebody else.
Dont worry. Ill be the best pinch runner in October.
How many bags of coke can Ron washington’s nose store ?
The Yankees don’t have a budget, don’t be so foolish.
Oh, right, in your fantasy land where the Yankees should have just given Johnny Damon whatever he wanted they don’t, but Cashman balked at Damon solely because he wouldn’t fit in the budget. No wishful thinking makes that go away.
And you guys thought I was bad, Fake Yankee Fan takes the cake. That guy sucks!
JoeThunder and Fake Yankee Fan both suck. Marcus Thames – big, black, and strong.
That last one was me.
RSG, this means war.
“You know Jon, JoeThunder has some tencaity but not enough to have played along side me and the rest of my repeat World Series champion Cincinnati Reds. Marcus Thames could play along side me but that’s because he’s black.”
The Yankees do not have budget. Unlike every other company ever created, they have zero liabilities and no responsibilities to their partners.
What is the Yankees ‘budget’ then?
How the hell do we know? We don’t have access to their figures. Common sense tells you that it’s a finite amount though.
Now you’re comparing Damon’s situation to Jeter’s?, gimme a break.
The 10 mil they dont pay Jeter? If they pay Jeter at the same rate he is making now how in the hell does this affect this mysterious budget you speak of?
You really think the Yankees won’t sign someone that will help the team because Jeter makes to much? really? you really think that.
If they bring back Jeter at the same rate he make now, what changes? WHAT CHANGES? besides the collective panty bunch that will happen by so many of you.
Please since i “suck” so much. Someone explain to me how if the yanks sign jeter to equal or less then what he makes now affects the yankees? please explain this to me. Explain to me how if the Yankees need a top of the rotation SP how they will pass on Cliff Lee because they signed Jeter to what he makes now.
Why dont you respond with some thing, anything “close talker”? all you have is “this guy likes jeter”. It’s clear you’d be happy to let Jeter walk and have John Mcdonald play SS. Actually Ramiro Pena is cheap, he can do what Jeter does. who needs Jeter, let him walk. He’s killing our budget.
@Bitter Hater:
Bangalore; where they’ve always been.
Moved up to 50 cents/hr ‘shoppin’ catalogs for an investment-bank…
Marcus Thames is chocolate love
“Sorry Derek we’re gonna have to let you walk. You’re demands are just to high and we can’t fit you in our budget”
Jeter walks and we free up money for Crawford and Lee.
SEE YAA DEREK!!!!!!
we’ll call and congratulate you on 3,000, where ever you may be.
Congratulations Derek for passing me on the all-time hit list.
I’m impossible to watch
So am I
I’m impossible to be heard.
So am I, Suzyn.
I miss freedom…
I remember when allz hated on me for my glove work, but I have always been a stick man, unlike that assclown Nick Johnson.
You’re also dumb and black.
