Yikes, when was the last time the Yankees put out their "A" lineup? Not since the 15-inning marathon, I think. And yet they've won all but one game since then. Even more impressive when you consider that.

Scrub squad starting the game today...lame.

Leadoff single for Jeter...ties all-time mark for most hits by a SS EVER! How anyone can ever say that he is overrated is just pure haterness...period.
Posted by: krueg | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 04:11 PM
Not sure what ARod was doing in that AB...kinda stood there and watched a bunch of pitches???
Posted by: krueg | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 04:15 PM
Efficient first inning from Joba.
Posted by: AndrewYF | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 04:22 PM
Nice 1-2-3 1st for Joba...
Posted by: krueg | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 04:25 PM
Well, this no-name rookie douche is mowing us down.
Posted by: krueg | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 04:25 PM
Joba looking good...1-2-3 2nd.
Posted by: krueg | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 04:34 PM
Joba hitting 94, 95 early on. Good to see.

Sick bunt by Pena...love the kid.
Posted by: krueg | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 04:38 PM
CAPTAIN CLUTCH WITH THE RBI DOUBLE!!!! 1-0!!!
MOST HITS IN THE HISTORY OF MLB BY A SS!!!! JETER IS GOD!!!
Posted by: krueg | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 04:41 PM
Where does Jeter rank in terms of all-time shortstops?
Wagner
A-Rod
Jeter?
Posted by: AndrewYF | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 04:43 PM
Jeter is the best ALL-AROUND SS ever...The Wizard is probably the best defensively, Jeter offensively.
So, in closing...Jeter is the best SS in history.
GREAT GRAB BY AROD! 1 more out boys...
Posted by: krueg | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 04:51 PM
Remember that A-Rod was a great offensive and defensive shortstop before his move to third.
It's crazy to think that we're seeing two of the best 3 shortstops of all time on the same side of the diamond.
Posted by: AndrewYF | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 04:54 PM
Joba walks the bases loaded...not good. Not cool either.
Posted by: krueg | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 04:54 PM
2 run double...1-2. 2nd and 3rd. F-ck.
Posted by: krueg | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 04:55 PM
Joba looks awesome in the first two innings and then melts down...LIMIT THE DAMAGE!!!
Posted by: krueg | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 04:56 PM
1-2 count...can he put away Griffey???
Posted by: krueg | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 04:57 PM
YES HE CAN! K! Alright...limited the damage. Time for the bats to go to work, Scrub Squad Style!!!
Posted by: krueg | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 04:58 PM
SWISH TO DEAD CENTER!!! 3-2 GOOD GUYS!!!
Posted by: krueg | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 05:02 PM
Hinskie with a single...1st and 1 out.
Posted by: krueg | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 05:04 PM
8 games up in the East now...
Posted by: krueg | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 05:06 PM
Joba is getting rocked. About to blow the lead as he gives up ANOTHER DOUBLE...2nd and 3rd, 1 out. F-CKING COME ON JOBA!!!
Posted by: krueg | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 05:13 PM
Nice play by Swish...saves a run. 2 outs. Almost doubles up the runner at 2nd. ONE MORE JOBA!!!
Posted by: krueg | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 05:15 PM
How could Jeter miss the tag there? The ball beat the runner.
Posted by: AndrewYF | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 05:15 PM
Joba gets the fly out to CF...whew. Wiggled out of trouble...
Posted by: krueg | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 05:18 PM
Joba having another tough inning...might not be our day today with Joba's meltdown nearly complete...f-ck.
Posted by: krueg | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 05:30 PM
Got Griffey again...ONE MORE JOBA!!!!
Posted by: krueg | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 05:33 PM
There it is...0-2 count, FB right down the middle, RBI single...3-3. Joba blows the lead finally. Jerry bobbled the ball in CF too so there was no throw...may have been close. F-ck. About the completely blow the lead...1st and 3rd now.
Posted by: krueg | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 05:36 PM
3-4. F-ck you Joba you piece of garbage. Get his sorry-ass out of the game now Joe.
Posted by: krueg | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 05:38 PM
Got a grounder...need some offense again.
Posted by: krueg | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 05:40 PM
Blech, a Buchholzian start from Joba today.
Posted by: AndrewYF | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 05:40 PM
No offense at all.
Posted by: krueg | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 05:47 PM
Yanks just don't have it today. Pity it had to come against as bad a team as Seattle. But then again, they get an even worse team up next.
Posted by: AndrewYF | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 05:54 PM
It's over...f-ck it. Won 3 out of 4, can't ask for more!!! Start another streak tomorrow in the Bay Area!
Posted by: krueg | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 06:34 PM
Now it's really over...i'm out.
Posted by: krueg | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 06:36 PM
It's nice not having to be at all mad/disappointed/frustrated after a bad loss like this.
Posted by: AndrewYF | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 06:38 PM
I'm certainly disappointed - by Joba's outing if nothing else. But I get what you're saying A-YF - it's not like the Yanks lost ground today. Need to finish the west coast swing strong against Oakland.
Posted by: IronHorse | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 08:54 PM
Hey, I'm not A-YF. Just for the record.
Posted by: AndrewYF | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 09:20 PM
Oh yeah - sorry about that Andrew.
