Mussina vs Chacin.

 

People may think the titles are immature, and they are. But I am superstitious and if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Mussina is one of our aces, but our surefire ace against this team as RJ cannot seem to miss their bats. The funny thing is, our RH pitchers have dominated the Jays. Wang, Mussina, and Chacon completely owned them last yr and the first part of this yr, while RJ has been owned by them. That's baseball I guess. GO YANKEES!!!!

It is broken, the Yankees lost in "holes" game thread. So, now you are doing just to do it. Pathetic.

they did, but we are now 6-1 with immature post titles. I used to wear high socks, eyeblack, have a long strange routine as I got into the batters box and leap over the foul lines. Posting an immature title is a whole lot less than that....

[KeepTheFaith1229]

At least make an actual game thread, you know, an article, and pictures of the starters and stuff?

If you were facing me, I would have nailed you in the ass on the first pitch every time right after you finished your routine. Aversion therapy might have helped you.

What do you care?

 

The man started the thread. He can do it however he pleases.

 

 

Man... this place has more bitches than a German Fertility Lab.

I also pitched and would have returned the favor. I threw hard bro, and I was wild. I once hit 6 batters in a game but threw a no-hitter. Man, to play again....

[Optimist]

Bunt base hit for Damon.

[RedRuffing15]

Mussina 3Ks thus far, hopefully he can go 4-1 in April and 40Ks maybe??

[Optimist]

The ump tries to take this game from the Yankees, Moose comes back and strikes out Hillenbrand. Now, let's get some runs.

[Optimist]

Torre's been ejected!

[Optimist]

Game tying HR from Andy Phillips!

[TheRivernator]

gotta love that. Damon is on f***ing fire. 3 for 3 today, 3 for 5 yesterday. Heat it up Johnny!!!

Why haven't you quit coming here yet?

[Optimist]

A-Rod walks with bases loaded.

 

2 - 1 Yankees

 

And Toronto's manager gets ejected like Joe (except Joe had a reason to argue.)

[ACL BoSox]

The Yankees never get calls their way!

 

********, the ump just gave the Yankees the lead.

[TheRivernator]

did you read my post? Both pitches were 3-4 inches off the plate. The catcher was set up off the plate....

The ball needs to come near the plate to be a strike.

[ACL BoSox]

I suppose had it been a strike we'd be hearing bitching.

[Cocos Disciples]

what happeneed to get the managers ejected. im just watching it on espn gamecast and it says they were tossed but not why.

[Optimist]

I suppose had it been a strike we'd be hearing bitching.

 

Uh, yeah... because it wasn't a strike; when you see dirt between the ball and the plate from the overhead camera (and the pitcher hits the catcher's target, which is outside the strike zone) that usually means it's a ball.

Both were arguing strike/ball calls by the homeplate ump.

[TheRivernator]

If both pitches were strikes we'd be saying we finally got ours....

[TheRivernator]

We Just Caught A Huge Break!!! Rios Was Safe By A Mile....

[Optimist]

Rios looked safe.

 

Edit: He was safe.

 

Wow, big break for the Yankees.

[Optimist]

Wow, Farnsworth hit 99 in that inning. Last time he pitched, the stadium's radar gun had him hitting triple digits. Nice to see him getting that velocity back.

[Optimist]

Another base running blunder by this team; they really need to work on this some more.

[Optimist]

Mariano nails down the save; Yankees win the game and the series. What a great game that was.

 

Now, onto Boston...

[TheRivernator]

Great game all around. Mussina got jipped a little with the balls/strikes, but we got it back with that call at 2nd, bout time. He was a bull. Farnsworth was absolutely NASTY and Mariano was vintage. Giambi is seeing the ball really well. Jeter and Damon stay hot. Hopefully sheff is okay. The yankees go to Boston on the heels of 3 straight series wins while the sox have dropped 3 straight series. I like our chances, although I have a feeling we split these 2 games...
