Tonight, the Yankees end the Rangers' early season rampage through baseball.

Tonight, Holland's stagecoach returns to pumpkin form.

Clash of the AL titans for sure.

 

[ZeroRay]

Tonight, the Rangers feast on Yankee flesh.

 

[h3ro]

Looks like Stewart is catching CC tonight. Ray Liotta should not get nights off.

 

[captmcblack]

Fucking beautiful.

Willie Mays 2012 gives Biggie Smalls 2 runs to work with.

 

[Lambtron]

Ya'll know what the fuck this is! Click the mibbit (link), get in it. IRC

I'll do this when I get home.

In case you were wondering, the 1991 Twins also started 5-11. World Series, baby.

 

[Y2Kev]

Holland is getting a huge zone.

 

[h3ro]

 

[Malo]

Holland is getting a huge zone.

Hopefully it's the same for CC.

 

[cashman]

With the exception of Cano, Yankees looked pretty awful against Holland

 

[Sanjuro]

Watching a Ranger game makes me violently hungry for a giant hot dog.

 

[h3ro]

Texas can't seem to pick a damn cap color yet.

 

[Y2Kev]

When is cc going to get over this shit? So sick of this. Start pitching better fat toad.

Yu future.

They're thinking about using Nunez in CF? Lordy.

He def has naked pics of Girardi.

How big do you think the slide rule (keeping trapper keeper theme) is?

[MrOogieBoogie]

I fucking love Derek Jeter.

9-pitch at-bat, gets a hit, takes his BA to .400

I love it. A huge "Fuck you!" to all the haters doubting him the last couple seasons. He's hitting better right now than he ever has before... at 38... Goddamn.

 

[Y2Kev]

I fucking love, Derek Jeter.

9-pitch at-bat, gets a hit, takes his BA to .400

Kinda nuts how hot he is right now.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Kinda nuts how hot he is right now.

It's not like it's even a fluke either. He's been hitting about .350 ever since he got off the DL in July 2011.

 

[Y2Kev]

Where are these pitches, you dump?

 

[Branduil]

I fucking love Derek Jeter.

Let's just ignore the fact that he got his third strike called a ball.

 

[h3ro]

that's on Tex.

Short throw, but Tex has caught much tougher balls.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Let's just ignore the fact that he got his third strike called a ball.

This ump is terrible. He's screwing both pitchers.

 

[Branduil]

This ump is terrible. He's screwing both pitchers.

Good thing we don't have replay or robot umpires. It would ruin the integrity of the game.

 

[cashman]

If he gets that kind of zone, I'm a little bit surprised he isn't hitting better

 

[Fox318]

I just wish his critics would show up and eat their crow.

I'm looking at you Steve Somers.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

I know, it's annoying. When he's hitting well, no one says anything.

Hell, there are a couple of users on our very own GAF I'm waiting for to eat crow.

 

[clemenx]

He still sucks at D tho. I'll eat crow when he deserves a gold glove.

I never said anything about Jeter but I will say that why are you surprised that people mentioned when he wasnt doing well? Big players get more praise when they are going well, and more flack when they arent. If anything I think Jeter gets a bit of a pass when he struggles because he has such a positive reputation around the league.

He was good in 09. How I miss 09 Jeter defensively.

Bigger than Hansel!

Zoolander jokes are still relevant, right

 

[Sanjuro]

Time for the real main event!

Greatest movie of all time will always be relevant.

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with people questioning a player's ability or anything like that. My rant is directed at the people who were just saying terrible, terrible things about a man who's done SO much for the team yet was struggling for a little while. The people who were screaming, "Bat him 9th!" or "Let him go, Girardi!" and other nonsense like, "He's the worst player ever."

Just stupid shit like that. Of course it was worrying that he wasn't hitting well, but it seemed like an inordinate amount of people took it WAY too far and meant it.

 

[Blearth]

Double headers are so fucking awesome.

 

[Fenix]

Lind batting 7th. Fucking finally.

 

[Sanjuro]

I'll take the lone run.

 

[Y2Kev]

lololol i just got home and saw holland's face. gtfo with that.

It's not girardi's decision on whether or not to keep him on the club.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Right. You could see the kind of morons I'm talking about.

Also, 3-for-3! Jeter just trolling now.

 

[Y2Kev]

what. a. fucking. bomb.

 

[eznark]

Lol, MLB refusing to release the arbiters decision on Braun. Obviously they fucked up bad and the ruling was based on much more than a technicality and they are trying to protect their asses.

Thanks for the clarification that Braun was clearly and decisively innocent, Bud!

 

[JambiBum]

Yessss

 

[Malo]

A bomb!

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

it's like 1999 Jeter again.

 

[h3ro]

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

WOOPS MISSED THAT NUKE FROM A-ROD!

 

[Syphon Filter]

Agod

They had his retirement ceremony today. Instead of throwing at the first pitch, he got behind the plate and threw it down to Michael Young at second. Easily my favorite ranger of all time.


Tonight, the Yankees don't get to face the Red Sox bullpen

I'm sorry cashman, you were saying?

 

[Malo]

I'm sorry cashman, you were saying?

Too soon man.
