PS17 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 The Yankees won championships in the 90's because of their bullpen. I can't even count how many times they were tied or behind going into the sixth or seventh inning and they ended up winning the game. Their relievers would come in and not give up any runs, allowing the offense to chip away and eventually win the game. The greatest example of this was in 96 Game 4 against the Braves. The Yanks were down 6-0 in the fifth and Rivera, Graeme Lloyd, Jeff Nelson and Wettland kept the Braves scoreless for the rest of the game. The Yanks chipped away, tied the game and won in extra innings. Joba is a shutdown reliever, it's been proven that he can do the job. Team him up with Bruney, Aceves, Marte (if he steps it up) and Rivera at the end and you've got a bullpen that get the job done. Marte stepping it up??????? He sucks.

MasonJet Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 **** you Mariano. This was a winnable ****ing game. Really? ***** you for being such a fickle fan. Rivera is a legend and he loses one game and this is how you act? Like a 5 year old in the grocery store? Grow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who the **** are YOU to question anyone else's fanhood? GTFOH I'll question you when you talk about one of the greatest Yankees of all time like the way you did. You can have whatever opinion you want, and I'll call you out on it if I think it's goddamn stupid. Yeah he lost 1 game. How many has he won for us over the years? Even Mo has a bad outing every now and then so stop whining like a child about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piney Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 **** you Mariano. This was a winnable ****ing game. if Giradi doesn't pull Mo out of the game we probably still win it. Mo gets out of the inning only giving up two runs in all likelihood, Giradi should never have pulled him. Torre would have left him in. If Mo loses a game, really no big deal, he blows maybe 4 saves a year and loses 2...Taking him out was a disgusting overmanaging ridiculous thing to do. You leave him in....he would have gotten out of the inning and the Yanks would have tied it up....silly silly manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otter Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Tonight's lineup and random news & notes from the LoHud Yankees Blog. IMO the best of the Yankee beatwriter blogs. http://yankees.lhblogs.com/ EDIT: Longoria is going to play 3rd tonight. He didn't look to good running to 1st yesterday. YANKEES (33-23) Jeter SS Damon LF Teixeira 1B Rodriguez 3B Cano 2B Posada C Matsui DH Swisher RF Cabrera CF Pitching: LHP Andy Pettitte (5-2, 4.33). RAYS (29-29) Upton CF Crawford LF Longoria 3B Pena 1B Aybar 2B Zobrist SS Dillon DH Kapler RF Hernandez C TIME/TV: 7:05 p.m., YES. STATE OF THE ‘STRIPES: The Yankees need a win to take the series. They have won seven of the last eight series. … The Red Sox are off today, so a win would give the Yankees a one-game lead in the division before they head to Boston tonight to open a three-game series tomorrow. … Tampa Bay is 29-29 and will be starting Andy Sonnanstine (4-5, 7.07). THE PERILS OF PETTITTE: Pettitte has pitched only 10 innings in his last two starts, allowing 13 hits and walking 11. But he has given up only five runs somehow. He has been troubled by a bad back but that has abated. His five wins are tied with CC Sabathia for the staff lead. SONNANSTINE STUMBLES: After going 13-9, 4.38 last season, Sonnanstine has allowed 78 hits over 56 innings and walked 16. There has been some improvement lately. Sonnanstine is 3-1, 6.75 in his last four starts. DEFENSE ANYBODY? After not making an error for a MLB-record 18 consecutive games, the Yankees have committed at least one error in each of the last five games. HOME COOKING: The Yankees are 17-11 at home. NEVER FINISHED: The Yankees lead the majors with 20 come-from-behind wins. They have won 11 games in their last at-bat, the most in the AL. PITCHING IS THE KEY: The Yankees are 20-0 when they hold opponents to three runs or less. They are the only team undefeated in that category. STUFF ON SWISH: Nick Swisher has 11 homers. He did not get to 11 last season until June 30. He has hit right of his 11 homers left-handed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
