Sabathia's line in August was pretty special. He takes the mound tonight for the Bombers while the O's send Jason Berken, who has put together a couple decent outings of his own. Comment away.

ARod RIPS a liner to thrid, caught, doubles up Johnny...f-ck. Hit it right at him.
CC TIME!!!
It's very strange to be actually excited to watch a Yankee pitcher...it's been so loooooooooooong!!!
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 07:12 PM
Roberts bunts...good one but CC can't field it. 1st and no outs...
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 07:15 PM
Ahhhhh...I forgot Jose is behind the plate, no stolen bases for you O's!!!
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 07:16 PM
Blooper, check swing single...1st and 3rd, 1 out...uh oh.
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 07:19 PM
SAC fly for Nick...0-1. If we had a LF'er with an arm, could have been a play at the plate...
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 07:21 PM
CC got out of it only giving up 1 run...not SO bad I guess...
Come on bats, get it going!
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 07:23 PM
Super quick 1-2-3 inning...not cool. At least make this no-name scrub pitcher break a sweat???
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 07:29 PM
CC is getting knocked around pretty good...I'm starting to become dissatisfied with his start.
Don't make me angry CC, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry...
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 07:33 PM
...another hit. Bases loaded, 1 out. What the F-CK IS GOING ON HERE???
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 07:34 PM
MLB Gamecast is freaking me out..

K's Roberts...1 more CC!!!!!
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 07:36 PM
So I almost made a snarky reply to your assertion in the not-so-funny-until-AG-logged-in humor thread about game threads being civil. Like "only when the yanks are winning, otherwise they make your eyes cross". But I'm no AG.
Posted by: rootbeerfloat | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 07:37 PM
whew.
Posted by: attackgerbil | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 07:38 PM
K!!!! CC GETS OUT OF IT!!!! NOW WE NEED SOME RUNS BABY!!!
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 07:41 PM
Nice RBF...
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 07:42 PM
HINSKIE!!!!! 1-1!!!! Great addition to the bench...
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 07:43 PM
it's more fun when the yanks are winning, but it's a hell of a lot easier to be funny when they are losing. misery is high comedy.
Posted by: attackgerbil | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 07:45 PM
Hinske and Hairston have been fantastic midseason pickups. Has there been a GM who's conjured more out of nothing on the trade front this year? Swisher, Hinske, Hairston...
Posted by: AndrewYF | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 07:47 PM
He's a GENIUS...PURE GENIUS... ;)
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 07:53 PM
I agree with you Andrew. They weren't sexy, but they were solid and sometimes solid fits better than sexy. When Hinske plays, which seems like once a week, he usually produces. He's not great with the glove, but he's solid at the bat and he affords the Yankees the opportunity of giving regulars the day off here and there. Hairston is so versatile. Sure I'd rather have his brother, but as a bench player I will take Jr. Swisher, forget about it. I have been singing his praises before he even had his 1st at bat. I have always had a man crush on him from a distance and this season only reinforces that. I have said before I will say it again I love this team from top to bottom. There's not a player on this team I do not like and think fits. I don't know that they will win the WS, but I tell you I have had more fun this season that I have had in a very long team rooting for these guys.
Posted by: John - YF | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 07:55 PM
1-2-3 for CC...nice, he appears to be back on track.
We need many, many, many runs...now.
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 08:01 PM
"...I don't know that they will win the WS, but I tell you I have had more fun this season that I have had in a very long team rooting for these guys. ..."
my sentiments exactly john...they've seemed so uptight prior to this year, always trying to do and say the right things, and having the same reaction to wins that they had for losses...i find the looseness, and cream pie celebrations a very refreshing change...
Posted by: dc | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 08:01 PM
Agreed John and dc. Of course, winning is always fun, but this team is fun to watch. They actually seem to enjoy playing together, the bats are always a threat from top to bottom plus bench (best bench in YEARS by the way, esp when Gardner returns), the pitching has been good enough to keep them in and deep enough to threaten a great outing on amy given night, and the pen is very strong thanks to Hughes' arrival, the emergence of ice-water Aceves and the ever-consistent Mo. The biggest fears coming into the year (age leading to injury and defense) have become pleasant surprises and for the first time there seems less of a divide between the dynasty-core guys and everyone else. Torre's departure is at least partially responsible for that whatever else good or bad you might say about his leaving. All in all, good times and lots of wins.
Posted by: IronHorse | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 08:10 PM
Bases loaded for Molina...3 outs. Weak.
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 08:15 PM
Slow your roll boys...hit the brakes. This is WAY too much positivity! We haven't won anything yet! You guys are going to jinx it with the positive love fest!!!! ;)
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 08:17 PM
...another 1-2-3 inning for CC. We could really use a few more runs at some point.
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 08:23 PM
Nothing going offensively...
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 08:30 PM
Rick Sutcliffe cracks me up.
Drew goes the other way against the shift to score Youk.
Posted by: attackgerbil | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 08:36 PM
oops.. wrong thread.
Posted by: attackgerbil | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 08:37 PM
SWISH BLOOP DOUBLE!!!! 2nd and 3rd, NO OUTS!!!!
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 09:13 PM
2 RUN SINGLE FOR AROD!!!! 3-1 GOOD GUYS!!!
Somewhere Kate is cheering.
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 09:15 PM
"Somewhere Kate is cheering."
Love it kr. Actually, from the article you linkied to the "somewhere" seems pretty clearly to be A-Rod's apartment.
A-Rod picked. Oh well. Still a night for additional potential separation between CC and Beckett in the Cy race. But two runs with no Mo is certainly not comfortable...
Posted by: IronHorse | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 09:19 PM
UZR may say Cano has below-average range, but damn does he have nice hands, and a fantastic arm. Below-average second baseman my ass.
Posted by: AndrewYF | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 09:28 PM
> a fantastic arm
He really does.
Posted by: attackgerbil | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 09:33 PM
He also has a ridiculously quick release.
Uh oh...Bruney. I have that feeling you get when a roller coaster is ascending at a slower and slower rate clink..clink..clink.....clink....clink....clink.........clink.........clink.............clink...............Bruney
Posted by: IronHorse | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 09:36 PM
And there she goes...SWOOOOSH, and my stomach is in my throat. Thanks Brian.
Posted by: IronHorse | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 09:40 PM
Why in the world was Bruney in this game? He is worthless. We all know this. Why is he even on the roster anymore??
3-2. 1 out.
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 09:40 PM
Girardi is NOT pleased. Neither am I - bad Bruney.
Posted by: AndrewYF | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 09:40 PM
There goes cc's 16th win. I really don't get why Girardi is showing THIS much trust in him. Throw him in big lead situations and he sucks so you put him in a 2 3un game for which Month won't be available for the save? Really?? I guess a comfortable division lead allows you to take some liberties, but come on. Let him prove himself just once in a blowout, ok Joe?!?
Posted by: IronHorse | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 09:43 PM
Looks like since Rivera is unavailable for the save, the bullpen hierarchy is moved up. Bruney and Coke are the 7th-inning guys, now pitching in the 8th. Hughes in for the save.
Posted by: AndrewYF | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 09:44 PM
"Month" is supposed to be "Mo". Annoying auto-speller/completer.
I think Bruney just got tossed outside the circle of trust. I certainly hope so. Sucks for cc.
Posted by: IronHorse | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 09:46 PM
I used to hate Damon's little slap singles to left when he was on the sox. I've grown to love them.
Posted by: IronHorse | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 09:53 PM
CC's still in line for the win. Looks like the Yankees will get another run here.
Posted by: AndrewYF | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 09:54 PM
Sorry - my head was really up my a#* there. I thought that was a 2-run dinger off Bruney (was forced to watch that inning on picture-in-picture and so couldn't tell. CC still on for the sin if they can see this through!
Come on A-ROD!!!!!!
Posted by: IronHorse | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 09:56 PM
AROD IS CLUTCH CARGO BABY!!!!! 2 RUN SINGLE!!!! 5-2!!!! YEEEE HAWWWWW!!!!
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 09:57 PM
A-Rod is Mr. Clutch tonight. Yankees are cruising to 6 in a row...I believe that will be the fifth such streak this year.
Posted by: AndrewYF | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 09:58 PM
A-Rod has been RISP-a-licious lately. Mostly singles, but lots of RBIs. And Matsui keeps the merry-go-round going! Pile on!
Posted by: IronHorse | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 09:59 PM
RBI SINGLE FOR GODZILLA!!!! SWISH BUSTING IT TO SCORE THE RUN...6-2!!!!
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 09:59 PM
Sheesh, do you even leave in Hughes at this point? No real reason to take him out - he hasn't pitched since Sunday.
Posted by: AndrewYF | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 09:59 PM
This team is ridiculous. Melky RBI single. 7-2. Awesome.
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 10:05 PM
Jose gets in the act...8-2, RBI single. Jeter up again. Wow.
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 10:12 PM
...someone call the cops, the O's are being raped. 9-2. Jeter RBI single.
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 10:15 PM
Can we get 10?
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 10:16 PM
YES WE CAN!
10-2. Damon RBI single. This is a bloodbath, third pitcher of the inning coming in the 9th...
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 10:18 PM
A freaking house of horrors for the O's. This line-up is so balanced and productive. They do it with HRs, endless singles, whatever. Jeter now 8 back from Gehrig. Break it at home Jeet!
Posted by: IronHorse | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 10:19 PM
Phil Hughes is a strikeout machine. Awesome.
Posted by: IronHorse | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 10:29 PM
PHRANCHISE STRIKES OUT THE SIDE IN THE 9TH!!!!
YANKEES WIN...THAAAAAAAAAAAAAA YANKEES WIN!!!
This team is sick. Taking care of business against the crap teams. As REO once sang, "Keep on rollin', keep on rollin'....woooooooo...wooooooo...woooooooo!"
Posted by: krueg reincarnate | Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 10:31 PM
