Let slip the dogs of war!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

The Judge hath ruled with bat and glove, what a show....

I gotta' have more confidence in this team; as I really thought Headcase was going 0 for 17.... good to be home - Houston's a shit hole, a ballpark built on Enron Employee's retirements and pensions....and in the swamps on top of it all....

Give the Fat Man a Gator Hoagie... even with 4 walks...

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Let slip the dogs of war!

"Cry Havoc"... Welcome to Zangaro Julius Caesar....

Or-

"Well winners can lose and things can get strained
But whatever you change, you know the dogs remain."

CC great job pitching 6 shutout innings. Thru 2 and two thirds games the vaunted houston offense has a total of 4 runs including one that the runner should have been out by 20 feet and another that hit the top of the wall for a homer. So far yank starters and bullpen have shut them down. Houston has 2 pitchers period. Everyone else we should be killing,

 

[Yankeefan5545]

CC you old lizard, exemplary performance once again. Judge with outstanding "D" and a three run bomb. Nice bomb by Frazier. Note to Joe: have someone wake Gregorius and tell hi he's in the game.

Actually 23 yr old McCullers Jr, can be a force to reckon with at his young age. Only 7-4 on the year; yet in only 3 starts vs the Yanx, he's 2-0 with a 2.08 Era, he can be tough. Lifetime: 1 win in YS; 1 in Houston, in 3 GS....

Stro's haven't announced if he will start tomorrow or Wed... hope it's Wed; the Yanx can take the others out on the town, ...

Interesting correlation b/t all 4 playoff teams-

All built with top prospects, a strong farm club, with a blend of Vets- always the proper method imo...

Old Lizard, that is funny.

....Hey, there's something new, Betances walked the leadoff batter.

 

[Messiah717]

Betances is a joke.

 

[yankeesince59]

^^^check that, Betances walks the first 2 batters.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Betances hit kryptonite after only two batters, Jesus Christ. Joe keep that man on the bench.

 

[Lillie]

Here we go again, I'm getting a drink.

 

[yankeesince59]

Betances is a joke.

...I'll be honest, I don't care if I don't see him the rest of the year...the PS is not the time to try to straighten out a pitcher.

 

[yankeesince59]

...are you fucking kidding me?

 

[yankeesince59]

Whew...good guys win, 8-1.

...Yanx pitcher give away 8 BBs tonight...that usually get your ass beat.

 

[Lillie]

Fuck off you Midget and here comes ARoid again.

 

[mrmel29]

Yeah buck were up 8-1 in the 9th I’m sure yanks are stressed out. Go call the NL series asshole

Joe Buck is terrible...I think that if he had not been born as the Son of Jack Buck he probably would have ended up as a pastry chef.

Betances is his own worst enemy. His wheels are way off the track. I do not see him in a crucial
situation from here on out. Nothing is connecting in his brain. Total disconnect makes him
expendable when the Yankee season ends!

 

[Messiah717]

A huge game four coming up. Got to love October baseball.

...if we can somehow win game 4 today we might just be on our way to winning the series.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

The last Yankee Pitcher to have 10 consecutive stop games after Yankee losses was Whitey Ford. The puts Biggie in some pretty good Yankee Company.

 

[yankeesince59]

Yeah, read that last night...pretty damned impressive...he's making a great case to be brought back next year.

...the other problem with Betances being Betances again last night is that his also caused the Yanx to pretty much use up Kahnle for today's game if needed.
