Hey aren’t you glad that we got the two daytime spots? i mean who wants to see to exciting games with home runs and great drama when you can watch pitchers hit & double switches? Fuck you American League. we’re Bud’s favorite which is why he tries so hard to give us more of your money & rigs it so we get home field in the world series. Who cares about big stars like Cabrera, Fielfer, Cano & Jeter? Who wants to see a fun team like the Oakland A’s when you can watch Stephen Straburg’s chin pubes up close and Dusty Baker’s toothpick? Ha ha. Bob Costas says we’re real baseball so take that AL?
Yup, “National League” is being dumb. American League, especially the Yanks, have been prioritzed for prime time. Ratings will always put the Yanks at night and like you, I prefer it that way.
I am assuming this person either doesn’t have a job, or is 5 and has a very early bedtime.
I think what he means is that the Oaklnad A’s have been relegated to non viewing status. I have a job & missed one of the most exciting finishes in recent memory. Why not split the National/American league. Put one in the day & one at night?
Since Alex is such an easy and often unfair target, when does Girardi show some real balls & bench Granderson for Gardner? Better yet tell Jeter & his compromised mobility you’re sitting tonight? Honestly Joe’s move took no courage, Ibanez should have been in the lineup, what the hell was Chavez doing out there? Joe was trying to appease the stupid ass media & brain dead bloggers by making Alex the DH. If he paid attention to his precious numbers he would see Alex hits better when he plays the field.
Considering any kind of non-homerum hitting or scoring has involved Jeter, I think it’s fair for Girardi to hesitate before pulling him from the lineup if he thinks he can play.
I agree on the Grandy comment though. Maybe not for Gardner, but certainly for Raul at this point.
Really? You know, one quick spin by A-Rod’s player page will tell you that in 2012, he hit 50 points higher and OPS’d 75 points higher as a DH than he did as a 3B. It’s one thing to both incessantly because you need to keep up the silly narrative, but its another to be downright lazy and not check facts before spouting off with bullshit.
Granderson is 1 for 11 in this series. He is .271 with a .402 OBP as a Yankee in the playoffs. Gardner has about 3 AB since April. Sounds more likely to me that Gardner would hit better than Granderson going forward. Definitely. We should always bench productive guys after three games without production for guys who haven’t played all season and who aren’t half as productive on general.

You dream about stuff like that.I wasn’t even the guy who hit it, and I was jumping up and down going crazy. For Raul, I could not be more happy for him, man. You gotta be pro to step up in a situation like that. Especially pinch hitting, come up against a guy like Johnson, and then to just get that one pitch — because he doesn’t give you that many pitches to hit — and then he comes up in the 12th inning, and he goes Jack City again! You can’t script something like that.
Watching the game and being a part of this great team with all these great players, Hall of Fame players, the thing that really sticks out to me from spring training is how mentally tough these guys are and what great teammates they are. You know, I’ll go one step beyond that and say that they’re great people, too. Being in that situation and being a part of something like this, this great team, and obviously all the legends that have come before you here is an extraordinary feeling, and it’s a great blessing. And then to be a part of something like that is definitely a special moment.
Honestly this team is full of character and poise. They are getting old, and Raul the oldest, but the reason I love this team is the ability to create moments like last night. The ghosts in Yankee Stadium may have come back to stay!!!!

Hey, shithead! You might want to get more than 1 pinch hit at-bat per game. I’m the only one, besides Jeter, producing any offense around here, goddamn!
