NY Yankees 2009 Season Thread

AJ pitched well too. Hopefully he is past his struggling days. A 1,2,3 punch with CC, AJ and Pettitte sounds good to me. Lets hope them bats keep it going as well. In the play offs there is always good pitching so we need to stay focused.

Joba is worrying me. He has lost it. He can't push more than 91-93 on the radar gun and his pitches are very hittable.

Joba has been limited to his pitching which I think makes it harder psychologically to perform good because he only has a few innings instead of 7 or 8 like a normal starter would have. That reason is still no excuse for him getting crushed in some games and not locating his fastball.
I was one of the fans that wanted Joba to start this year. I think he will improve over the years but IF Joe Girardi is really going to treat Joba like a baby all the time with this inning limit thing, then you might as well make him a bullpen pitcher again and put Phil Hughes back in the starting spot=switch Joba and Hughes....Girardi has made it clear that he doesn't really know what to do with Joba and this is hurting Joba overall.

Make up your mind Joe, and if Joba is going to be a starter then give him the innings a starter should get. He has to get use to the role even though he is young.

Playoffs in a couple days. Yankees looking real strong. Even though we got blasted by tampa last night don't see many teams going toe to toe with us.



I didn't go to the parades back in the day, but I'm looking forward to going this year.

It is a little too quick to think of parades, especially since we have been thrown out in the first round quite a bit as of lately.

Dear Mr. Alex Rodriguez, I know you've been through a lot in the past few months, and I know most of us Yankee fans hate you and gave up because you have done absolutely nothing in the playoffs when we needed you most. But with the way you played today, I actually was.... impressed. So PLEASE, win us a ring, shut all the haters up, then I will be proud to buy your jersey. Thank you.

2-4 with a couple of RBIs.

Will he finally keep this up? Only time will tell.

[KING~POETIQ]

All I can say is WOW!!!...that was impressive...

A-ROD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! coming through when we need em to

[metrocard]

Any Yankee fan who hated A'Rod is a scumbag. I've been an A'Rod supporter since he was a hot prospect in the 1990's.

He's going to retire as a Yankee, and will continue to be the man in the playoffs from here and now.

Boston is going to get swept and Yankees will get their revenge on the Angels!

[KingStarbury3]

Im going to have to apologize to A-Rod but hes definitely proved all his critics wrong with how well hes played....this is our year get the brooms out tomorrow

[KING~POETIQ]

The Angels and Yankees are the two best teams left in the playoffs....whoever wins this series will win the Championship.

After the Angels the only real threat is if the Dodgers make the Championship...reason is because Manny will always kill the Yankees...but i would love to see Torre lose AGAIN and to a better rookie manager in Joe Girardi.

[KING~POETIQ]

Game time tonight. I ain't missing this for nothing. Well...maybe for *****

[KING~POETIQ]

FOR THE MOTHA****IN WIN!!!



Was only able to see that last inning but was told CC had a great game. We need the strong pitching to continue for us to keep on winning against these type of good teams.
