Nonono he's right. Yankees-AGE here is terrible and is all just sour grapes and doesn't stick around after they're eliminated.
I mean, look at all the Baltimore posters who are still here!
That's not fair, there is only one Baltimore poster and he is rare.
The disappearance of Red Sox fans, MrBob and TJ Farks is a fucking disgrace.

if it wasn't for Yankee fans, there wouldn't be a thread stickied to begin with.

Oh fuck off. Your team is terrible. You are clueless as your manager. Phil Coke was one of the worst pitchers in all of baseball against right handed batting this year. The binder doesn't lie.

binder is full of historical data, probably not current trends. and the trend was A-Rod was lost at the plate, not hitting air.

I don't know, but they really need to implement a no-amateur-pilots policy.

probably not. I mean, it's not the best move to make but it was a team wide hitting malaise.
oh shut up.

Hey, I post every now and then!
My Professor had me call out outs and runs during class today. But I am also in Michigan, so everyone here is pretty excited about this playoff run.

C'mon Yankees. Way to let down all the Mariners fans who were actually pulling for you guys this year. Oh well, at least Doug Fister.

I think the logic in keeping Ibanez in with the game on the line in G3 was absolutely egregious. Ibanez hasn't demonstrated the ability to hit left handed pitching at any point in the last 3 years. Girardi hit the lottery with Ibanez once when he hit a homer off that bum Matusz and thought that actually meant he could hit lefties. I don't know if the result would have been any different if he put in a RHB but the point was he put his team in a sub-optimal position simply because he was a victim of the moment rather than trusting the guys that got him to this point. Trust the binder.

First batter of the game and already a blown call. Excellent.
Nope. He signed a 2-year, $30 million deal after 2010. No options on the contract.

Pettitte has already said he's coming back for 2013, so you can mark him down.
C'mon Yankees. Way to let down all the Mariners fans who were actually pulling for you guys this year. Oh well, at least Doug Fister.
Who would root for the Yankees?

Ibanez was the SAVOIR of the Yankees ALDS, who in their right mind would bench him? Who the fuck cares what Coke's regular season numbers were, that would have been absurdly stupid.
No, starting CHAVEZ and sitting Arod was stupid, but that was clearly not just Girardi decision, it was management. And of course I wanted Ibanez starting, he was hot.
Girardi's biggest mistake this series was starting Swisher and Granderson too much, other then that you can't blame him from much, maybe bringing in Lowe this game when we were only down 6-1.
Why would Ichiro be gone?

lol. judder its time for novakhiin season.
Girardi can't be held responsible for his otherwise high-performing players doing nothing for a two week stretch. No manager can.
What he CAN be held responsible for is batting Ibanez against a lefty in a crucial spot (all the heroics in the world can't undo his current skillset deficiences) and possibly for pitching Lowe in game 1 to turn a 2-0 deficit into a 4-0 one.
