Its game 4 that worries me. Not sure if we can trust Phil enough. Hopefully, it won't come down to it. Three straight works by me. I predict Ishiro to be series hero.

Side note- Russ Martin hit in bad luck all season which explains iis .212 batting average. He is very good defensively behind the plate and he is a free agent after this year. He was making 7.5 mill. A lot of money but I hope the Yankee and Martin cam come up with another contract...say 2 years until the two kids in the minors are ready.

Nahhhh - No game 4 necessary !
Okay, yes that is the cocky Yankee fan in me talking (and hoping) :laugh:

I'm afraid Swisher is continuing his postseason choke. 0-4 last night including a popup with runners on 2nd & 3rd in the 7th. His best production and hot streaks seem to almost always be when we don't really need it, and when we need it he doesn't deliver. Joe needs to move him down a couple of slots. I agree Ichiro is playing great since he moved him into the 2 hole. Tex is back and should slide into the 5 hole. Kuroda tomorrow and maybe Sabathia on 3 days rest Thursday?

2BNTV 10-09-2012 07:43 AM

The television watched me sleep last night but I saw the Yankees had bases loaded and one out and didn't score. I knew then they were in trouble so I guess my brain went to sleep.

No surprise they lost. DRAT!!!!

Next three in New York. GO YANKEES!!!!

He's struck out three times tonight.

You are absolutely correct. The Yanks just aren't hitting. Swish finally got a hit.
I don't think Tex did, and the list goes on.

Gotta give credit to the pitchers but - HEY - these are the Yankees !!!!

IBANEZ WAS AWESOME! Hate the commentators saying that it was a gutsy move on Gerardi's part sending him in for AROD! DUH! Do you want to win? This was a no-brainer!!!! Fresh blood!!!!!!!!!!:bowdown:

2BNTV 10-11-2012 02:52 PM

Just Thinking
 
How about an outfield of Ichiro, Swisher and Ibanez and sit Curtis Granderson down tonight as he strikes out so often. Raul is cool.

Go Yankees!!!!!

That works for me ! I love Grandy and his homers BUT He and A-Rod
need a "rest."

Can we just relax and get off to (say) a 12 - 0 start and then coast. :pepper2:

Getting ready to fire up the boob tube and watch the Yankees move on to the next step !!!!

LETS GO YANKEES !

PS - Will stop back later. LOL

A-Fraud does it again. Striking out with runners on second and third with one out. Hit ball seems to be allergic to the ball. He looks like he's finished as a good hitter.

No matter where Girardi bats him, the big moment seems to find him.
:(

Bobcuse 10-12-2012 08:28 AM

Swisher is no better than A-Rod. Most guys are struggling on both teams but those two have a storied history of post season choking in critical situations. I'm looking for a breakout of the bats in the middle innings tonight if Girardi doesn't bench the wrong bats!

ugotme 10-12-2012 08:35 AM

Also Granderson - not doing anything.
I was hoping that they would put Ibanez in for him to start.
Problem is NOBODY (except Jeter) is really hitting.

WAKE UP YANKEES !!!!

That's what I just heard also.

Although I think that is needed we have to give Grandy & Swish a little boot in the butt ! :spoken:

2BNTV 10-12-2012 02:33 PM

Confirmed according to MLB.com.

Chavez for A-Fraud. Ibanez in line-up tonight. Bats need to come alive!!!!!

GO YANKEES!!!!!!

BarryRX 10-12-2012 06:46 PM

What an 8th inning. My heart can't take much more of this. Way to go CC!!!

BarryRX 10-12-2012 07:01 PM

CC throws a 4 hitter complete game and the Yanks are going to the American League Championship Series!!!! I love my Yankees!!!!

Congratulations NEW YORK YANKEES !!!!

ugotme 10-13-2012 10:46 AM

Geez, I don't know - Can there be a bigger battle than the NY-Baltimore series?
This may be it!

Looking forward to this series and, of course, the Yankees moving on to the World Series for #28 !!!!

As usual:

:agree:

I was sweating out the eight inning but CC came up big. CC dominated.

A big time performance by an ace.

Pettite in game one with Detrioit.

Go Yankees!!!!!!

Jeter
 
What a disaster!! To see the Yankee Captain lying on the field in pain broke my heart. Come on guys.....let's do it for Derek!!

Dr Winston O Boogie jr 10-14-2012 08:07 AM

I'm a Red Sox fan but it was indeed a shame to see Jeter go down like that. Even though I hated what he would do to the Sox, I always respected him as one of the greatest players in the game. He also seems like a classy guy as well. I hope he returns to play again.

BTW, the Yankees didn't deserve the win that game. Valverde gave away another game and Leland allowed him to do it. If I were Leland, Valverde's season would be over. He cannot be trusted anymore.

YouNeverKnow 10-14-2012 08:08 AM

As you can see from our screen name we are Tiger fans. Please don't run us off this board! It was a hard fought battle last night between two great teams. Horrible to see the injury that occurred to Derek Jeter but teams pull together during times like these to overcome unexpected adversities.
We will be future Frogs come this summer and are looking forward to some great sports watching parties and friendly, intense, rivalry with our new Villages neighbors.

2BNTV 10-14-2012 08:35 AM

A terrible loss last night. Derek Jeter getting hurt, (fractured ankle), and out for the season is the most devasting loss of all.

Bases loaded three times, (a record), and they couldn't push a run across. That is where they lost the game.

Hopefully, they will put it together for Jeter and win this series. They need to start hitting. Vrey discouraging to see A-Fraud and Granderson striking out so much. Nick Swisher is the invisible man in the playoffs.

Win the series for Jete's. Go Yankees!!!!!

You are more than welcome on this board! We even let those crazy Red Sox folks on here. It's the great rivalries that make for the great moments.
