There should be an investigation into how an entire team can just suddenly forget how to make contact with a pitch. It's like Lex Luthor or maybe COBRA zapped the entire team with a Weakening Ray as part of some convoluted supervillain plan.

How exactly did this Yankees team manage to beat Baltimore?

Baltimore were frauds.

How exactly did this Yankees team manage to beat Baltimore?

by not trotting out a lineup of perpetual bench riders

Perhaps hitting against the best strikeout team in baseball has something to do with it? Notice the NY bats get more life when Detroit has to use the bullpen. I'm not sure if Detroit managed to set the AL season strikeout record, but they were on pace to late in the season. The Yankees are doing terrible, but the pitching should get a bit more credit.

Raul Ibanez and CC.

 

[Chuck]

How exactly did this Yankees team manage to beat Baltimore?

Jim Johnson blowing two and the best players not showing up.

 

[darkside31337]

Put Arod in at 1B.

 

[Wellington]

Oh come on...

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

*sigh*

 

[Macattk15]

Lolololololol.

 

[sangreal]

Nunez can't field? SHOCKING

Can we put in the MLB players now?

 

[darkside31337]

Just putrid.

 

[Sanjuro]

THAT is why you start A-Rod at SS.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Jeter would have had that.

 

[yankeehater]

This has to be the worst defense in a half inning of a playoff game ever.

 

[Windu]

Justin Verlander does everything.

 

[cashman]

WORSE THAN RANGER

 

[turnbuckle]

both teams' infielders putting on a clinic

Half the team struck their way out through the ALDS too. They wouldn't even be here except for Super Raul. Not taking anything away from Detroits pitching, it's just been going on before this too.

 

[Sanjuro]

Jeter would have had that.

A-Rod would have had a triple play, easily.

 

[evangd007]

Recipe for Detroit to win this game: hit the ball to the left side of the infield.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

what do the Yankees see in Nunez anyway? there's plenty of guys that can hit and aren't butchers in the field.

I don't get it. He only even hits decently -- nothing special. Yet you constantly here how much they "love" him

 

[Windu]

with the way the yankees normally hit i'm surprised the yankees don't have a all field no hit ss on the roster.

 

[Judderman]

Embarrassing.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Damn Os, Jim Johnson screwed u guys over!

 

[Sanjuro]

That could easily be arranged.

 

[Macattk15]

Ichiro finally gets to play for a winner!



"Nope."

 

[weekend_warrior]

So, getting no-hit today then?

The disparity between his hitting and fielding is so great they must figure he's GOT to be capable of being at least "serviceably bad" in the field. He's way worse than your usual stiff old slugger playing 1st. No play is safe with him.

 

[Branduil]

No hitter through 4?

 

[GhostWriter24]

The Yankees look like the Mets atm.

 

[Mrbob]

Only one thing can save the Yankees now. Clone Arod and let them play all 9 positions.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

The Yankees look like the Mets atm.

Cmon man. Wtf

 

[Fox318]

The Yankees look like the Mets atm.

They don't look that bad.

 

[Corran Horn]

The Yankees look like the Mets atm.

Ouch

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

The Yankees look like the Mets atm.

Let's not go saying things we can't take back.

 

[Macattk15]

MVP MVP MVP MVP

 

[turnbuckle]

BOOM!

 

[Wellington]

It's over. Dammit!

 

[lazybones18]

Miggy, you crazy drunk bastard

 

[Square Triangle]

Finally

 

[Windu]

yanks getting off this train.

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

Awesome.

 

[Blearth]

Bye bye Yanks

 

[Malo]

Lololol

This is now mest bad.

 

[Mrbob]

One down, one to go.

Now get the Cards out of the post season San Fran!

 

[Sanjuro]

Sheit.
