Ball game over. Yankees win. THEEEEEEEEEEEEE YANKEEEEEEEEEEEEES WINNNNNNNNNNN! What a game. Yankees win 10-1. We needed this after the tough loss last night. CC & A-Rod! The rest of the offense too, but boy did those to contribute tonight. Thursday cannot come soon enough!
My DVR didn't let me go back and record it but I just had to rewind it and took a picture. LMFAO! :rofl2:
I'm browsing through this forum right now, absolutely hysterical. My favorite post is a tie between the thread accusing the Yankees of being unsportsmanlike for attempting a steal up 5-1, and this gem of a quote: "Nice guys finish last. Evil always wins. What do I mean by evil? A-ROIDS 120+ (maybe more) million just in the infield when CC is on the mound Buy every free agent Get all the calls Have the biggest douchebags Unclassy fans Cheaters other then A-Roid (Pettite, Mariano spitting on ball)" I've never noticed how much the Halos piss me off before, but this is almost as much fun as beating Boston would've been.
:rofl: I'm addicted to this forum. The thread whining about the Yankees payroll is absolutely wonderul. I can't decide whether or not it'd be worthwhile to create an account just to post this: AL West teams by 2009 payroll: Los Angeles Angels $113,709,00 Seattle Mariners $98,904,166 Texas Rangers $68,178,798 Oakland Athletics $62,310,000 That would probably be unneccesary, right? Fun, but trolling.
So wtf was Posada doing during that game? And why can't MLB get rid of the incompetent umps or at least prevent them from handling playoff games? I'm still in disbelief over the call where Napoli tagged both guys out, neither was on the bag, and only one out was recorded. It's not debatable. It's not a judgment call. If you have eyesight and a somewhat functional brain and you're looking at the damn play, you can't blow the call. Unless they're trying to be bad. Hard to say at this point. Someone remind me of the Cano play where there was an argument whether he was tagged or not. I can't remember it.
I'm not sure Hairston can do anything to erase his defining moment as a Yankee: lying on the warning track in Game 3 as if he had been shot with a #^%$ing bazooka.
The play @ the plate. He was safe though, it was the right call since the catcher whiffed w/the tag... The Swisher incident though....wow on BOTH accounts.
oh, that one was close. He did get him with the tag eventually, but it looked like he just managed to nip the plate before the tag hit. There were some iffy calls, but three truly mind-boggling ones: 1)Swisher clearly out at second; called safe. 2)Swisher called for tagging too early, when he didn't, and the umpire wasn't even directly watching him. 3)Napoli tagging out the two idiots and dumbass McClelland calling Cano safe. This was probably the most egregious of the three. I still don't understand how a supposedly professional umpire could legitimately miss this call. To me, it overshadows the great performances turned in by CC and A-Rod, and even the "Mets-like" behavior of Posada. I'm also still waiting for nyjunc to start a thread about how clutch A-Rod is.
I didn't mind Swisher being called out on the tag, because that was a clear make up call. The call I had a problem with was the Cano-Posada debacle on 3rd base. That was atrocious. That ump should not be allowed to crew the World series. PS - Fuck Anaheim and all the other mother fuckers who want the Yankees to lose
Totally hilarious....love it!!!! ARod is mauling Jeter's butt, and Jeter is totally oblivious.:rofl2: GREAT game last night...get it done Yankees! :up:
I agree about the Cano-Posada play. I'm still flabbergasted that the ump blew that call. However, make up calls, as the Swisher one was, are never acceptable. This is a human game, and it always has been. Things get missed. It happens to everyone. The Yankees have suffered some bad calls this postseason too, apart from the Swisher one. It happens. I'm in favor of a challenge system for replay, but until that exists, people have to live with the reality of the humanity of the game. Who knows? Maybe this postseason puts a challenge system on the fast track at the Winter Meetings. Weren't poor calls in the playoffs responsible for replay in football being pushed through? Either way, you should never grant make-up calls. Period. You call every individual play as you see it. Otherwise, you're not doing your job, which is to make a judgment call on every play impartially.
