Which Tank shows up tonight????????????????

 

[Lillie]

Gardner -LF
Hicks -CF
Holliday -DH
Castro -2B
Judge -RF
Gregorious -SS
Headley -3B
Carter -1B
Romine -C

If Tanaka does not know what is the problem with his pitching, he's got bigger problems.
He is a real concern. Of all the pitchers on this staff, never would have thought he is the
"weakest link"...........especially after his perfect spring training. I wish him good luck and
hope for the best.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

which team will show up tonight????

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Got to take the squeeze to a dance this evening so I'll be checking in from the smart phone. Any televised game shown in the club is the local team. Go Yankees.

 

[Lillie]

My Husband came home tonight and asked me if I was cooking tonight and I asked why??? He said he bought me a present it was an ALL RISE T-Shirt with the Gavel and the guys with the Wigs. Now I'm stuck Cooking Cheese Quesadillas.

Thanks Cage, he knows better as long as I'm happy he gets food.

 

[cagedlion]

^^^^Ah yes, Food is the way to a man's soul!

 

[cagedlion]

Romine 's wasted double where neither Gardner nor Hicks could bring him home. Bottom 3rd.

 

[cagedlion]

Crossing my fingers with Tanaka.

 

[Lillie]

Crossing my fingers with Tanaka.

So far so good.........Wake up Offense!!!

 

[cagedlion]

Yankee hitters are clueless tonight. Little or no threats. They have got to galvanize some hits.

This type pitcher who throws mainly a sinker baller in the dirt has got the hitters swinging
at air. Holliday looks pathetic. That pitch must look so tantalizing the hitters are
swinging out of their shoes. And of course Tanaka is pitching his best game thus far.
Unfortunate for him.

They act like this pitcher is a Cy Young candidate.......Unbelievable.

 

[cagedlion]

I know the Yankees are stuck with Headley because of his ludicrous contract, but please this guy
comes up with his numerous ways to kill a rally. Unreal.

 

[Lillie]

Headley Sucks Balls.

 

[yankeesince59]

...I realize it's the A's but what a great bounce back outing by Tanaka.

 

[cagedlion]

Lil^^^^^I do not think he's capable of doing that!

 

[yankeesince59]

...god damnit, I'll say it again, Carter is a butcher at 1B.

 

[cagedlion]

Ron, I wonder if they give Tanaka that extra day's rest before his start. Only question is how will
that have an effect on the rest of the staff?

 

[cagedlion]

Clippard nearly threw this game away with his masterful defense.......Idiot! And yes, Carter
is no gazelle!

Clippard is an ass. He's creating his own damage. I do not trust this guy.

SOB.......what a POS. Came in to get two f'kin outs and gives them the lead.

 

[yankeesince59]

...another great fucking job by the BP.

 

[Messiah717]

Nothing annoys me more then when a reliever comes in and walks the batter. Not to mention a guy who has struck out three times on the night.

 

[cagedlion]

BP fucks up again. And our brilliant GM is tweedling his thumbs.

 

[yankeesince59]

Ron, I wonder if they give Tanaka that extra day's rest before his start. Only question is how will
that have an effect on the rest of the staff?

...I dunno...many Asian pitchers never get used to pitching on one day's fewer rest than they were accustomed...but Clippard managed to walk the batter he needed to retire which then forced him to face the A's best hitter...and he paid the price and so did the Yanx.

...this is 2-3 great starts by Yankee pitchers in the last week that were wasted and ended up in a loss.

 

[cagedlion]

^^^^^.........and that will tell at season's end.

He needs to get rid of those ridiculous glasses and wake the Fuck up.

 

[cagedlion]

The hitters have gone into Spring hibernation! How inopportune!

 

[Messiah717]

Still one more inning but the offense is asleep right now. Happy to see the big bounce back game from Tanaka.
