Maxman Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 With CC and Andy pitching on the road and Hughes pitching at home, it sets up nicely for the Yankees If Pavano beats them in Game 2 Cashman might have a stroke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHT STALKER Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Sorry, I don't see the Yanks making a big splash this fall. They are 13-16 over the last 26 games and their starting pitching rotation has question marks all over it...I just can't see them throwing a switch and everything is fixed...prove me wrong Yankees.

Maxman Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Two observations: 1. Is it me or does the main stream media talk about Andy Petite the way you would describe a real life Rocky Balboa? They make it seem like there is no way he could come back from this groin injury 2. If the Yankees lose tonight, the series is not over. They can out slug the Twins in the other games and it isn't like the Twins are rolling out Doc Gooden in his prime. (Yeah that is right I went with Doc Gooden, lol).

AFJF Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Funny thing is if the Yankees lose the baseball forum will be jumping tomorrow. You're 100% right. The reason being...winning post season games is expected for the Yanks. It doesn't seem like that big a deal anymore. When they don't, it's unacceptable and fans come out of the woodwork to proclaim the fact that they know more than Brian Cashman and Joe Girardi. JMO of course.

Tell me about it, the guy did not pitch for 2 years, and the he comes to spring training and needs Tommy John surgery. Prick just made a nice play to double us up and get out of trouble!

Bugg Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Ernie Johnson going ballistic about a missed strike call on Berkman was way over the top. Wendlested may be a dick and the beneficiary of nepotism,but he's a bad umpire to both sides. And besides umpire incompetence forced the Yankees to have to get 4 outs in the 9th last inning. Pettitte is making a case for Cooperstown. Other than game 6 of the 2001 WS, he has been postseason money for 15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Pettitte fessing up tells you that it's much more prevalent than anyone thinks. Of course because he's perceived as a good guy he was allowed to say it was only once to heal from and injury. At some point the writers are going to have to stop being prissy about it and see it for what it is, part of the whole, not the whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's say he plays one more season and retires with over 250 wins. And 7 world series championships to go along with all the postseason records. How can he not be a hall of famer? Kirby made it because he won 2 world series. 1st ballot for Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
