cant find anything out there as of now suggesting joe makes a change to posada.
good point about posada not bein able to handle aj's pitches in the dirt. im just not that confident we have enough bats to win this one. if lee's stuff is nasty again, we're sunk b/c like you said cano is nowhere to be found and taking away two bats (aj and molina) will only leave us 6 in the line-up that can hit until either lee's tank empties or aj's does. its the perfect 'get away' game for the yanks too. not saying theyre gonna try to lose and i by all means i'd like to wrap it up tonight so its done, but i cld easily see this going 6 and winning it back home against pedro on wednesday.
you guys are pansies.
no way i give the ball to gaudin. it's the world series. all those stats get thrown out the window. you play to win. pitching guadin is the equivalent to throwing in the towel and sends a bad message to the team. you can't afford to give away anything.
and if it's a close game, lee won't go 9 b/c they will pinch hit for him later in the game...
dj your passion might be getting the best of you a little bit right here. you greek or something?
how much u guys wanna make a bet, if we clinch the WS tonight the entire mood of the postgame on Fox will be one of a moratorium to the Phillies former champions instead of a celebration of the Yankees' return to greatness? i can already count the amount of "big contract acquisitions" mentions Eric Karros & Mark Grace bring up... can't wait to see McCarver & Buck's somber faces if we win tonight.
holy crap, listening to Charlie Manuel answer questions during the pregame press conference is painful.

buck and mccarver have been disgraceful towards the yanks all series long...even in the series prior. whats up with those guys?
i dunno what Buck's problem is, he probably just grew up hating the Yankees... McCarver's probably still bitter at Yankees brass cuz he's not doing commentating on our games anymore.
last nite after we won u could see the disappointment on both their faces... it was a beautiful thing.
^^^^^hope to make them cry tonight!! see ya all at 757
Melky's strained hamstring will keep him out the rest of the series... team's looking to replace him on the roster w/either Guzman or Pena.
I gotta watch the game tonight so I can brown nose tomorrow with the Professor. So I'll be here discussing balls with you guys. Who be on the mound?
AJ Burnett starting for the Yanks
Cliff Lee starting for the Phillies
btw, i'm thinking i might wanna start Eric Hinske in RF to give us a little pop in the bottom of the order.
burnett rocks a voodoo necklace
Gardner's starting in CF... Pena takes Melky's spot on the roster.
Swisher really needs to come through tonight, cuz he's protecting ARod in the lineup... u know they're not gonna give ARod anything to hit & after Swish there's no one else who's really hitting or a threat to do big damage... Cano's scuffling big time & we can't rely on Gardner or Molina to do much vs. Cliff Lee, so Swisher really needs to step up tonight & make them pay for pitching around ARod.
10 down...
to go...
yo billy martin is da bomb dawgg
off to get my Allanfan on... see u guys for the postgame... hopefully it'll be with some champagne bottles poppin' in the Yankees clubhouse.
GO YANKS!!!
be careful when drinking it can lead to bad things. bless you
