[Yankeefan5545]

Hey Rick! Driving past AT&T park right now heading back to SFO! I saw all the giants fans wearing Yankee hats and thought of you.

 

[Rick2583]

Best you think of be in mid October when I'll still be watching the Giants. You young whipper-snapper.

 

[cagedlion]

Yankees have had a six game winning streak in May; five game W streak in June; had a four
game W streak in early July. Being 3 games over .500, this team is pulling all Yankee fans in.........
again...........only to let us down in the end.

Ha! It's a beautiful stadium and a fantastic location. From Willie Mays Way to McCovey Cove.

1 play doth not a career make- BUT- Sir DD just showed us, (with that horrendous errant throw), He is no doubt expendable....like everyone else, now if only the Kidz realized they too s/b expendable, for the Fans love of the game; brand, future history of dynasties.....or lack thereof...

take those 8's off your sleeves-

Hey Rick! Driving past AT&T park right now heading back to SFO! I saw all the giants fans wearing Yankee hats and thought of you.

AT&T, SBC, Pac-Bell, no doubt is a gorgeous stadium, no more Panda Faces, but still Libtards in Kayaks roam the Cove....

Candlestick, prior to expansion into an NFL field too, was a hoot, chain link OF fences, wind blowing in so hard, outfielder's hats would fly, tumble to the backstop. Then the Arena Bowl of Candlestick, even worse for baseball, as Pitcher's, INF's hats would fly to the OF walls....yep, a hoot...

B/T Candlestick and the Polo Grounds, I'd guess Mays was robbed of 150 HR's...100? 50? 10? 1?....

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Took the squeeze for and MRI today and watching local TB Sports news heard that my old buddy and fomer Ray B.J. or Melvin Upton whichever one prefers was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays. Toronto must be desperate to trade for that guy. The did not say what Toronto gave back for him.

It looks like a beautiful park, only sadly its not hitter friendly. I think Bonds was the last Giant to hit 30+ HRs as a Giant.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Damn CC you good dog, couple more good innings and you'll earn your Jimmy Buffett "Cheeseburger in Paradise" at the post game spread. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Hicks with a triple,Tex with a couple of hits, damn what is going on in Yankee land????????????????????

 

[cagedlion]

Fister had nothing tonight...................how else could Tex and Hicks get hits? Lol

 

[cagedlion]

Ellsbury after hitting a lead off double in the sixth, he attempts to steal 3rd base with Beltran at the plate.
Of course, he was easily thrown out. Terrible decision.......on many levels. Not my favorite
Yankee ball player.

 

[Lillie]

I don't know guys but if they pull this one out with a chance to sweep on Wednesday I might have to purchase some Kool-Aide.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Note to Sabathia: nice job enjoy that Jimmy Buffet "Cheeseburger In Paradise" at post game spread, you earned it but wash it down with Coca Cola!!!!!!!!

 

[cagedlion]

A breather is turning into a thriller. Two on & tying run at the plate. Bergman facing Betances.
Betances is wild.........just loaded the bases with 3 consecutive walks. Mind boggling!

Lillie, get out that Kool Aide.........lol

 

[Messiah717]

Luckily the lineup turned over to a weak hitter or else that might of been ugly.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Dellin, you are one scary dude at times.

 

[Messiah717]

They have done it. Sucked us in once again by putting themselves in the race. A good chance at the sweep tomorrow with Tanaka on the mound.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

I'm enjoying the wins but don't think this team will make the playoffs. Like most I'm hoping the Yankees will make more trades, release the duds and rebuild for the future.

Cheers Cage, I know it's early but these Idiots are sucking me back in.

 

[blgridesagain]

We'll take it. Now get this sweep.

^^^this...the absolute worst thing for this franchise is for the team to go on another short-lived winning streak which would give the Steins and Cashman a sense of false bravado as far as this team's PS chances goes.
