Can't They Both Lose? Rays vs. Yankees Game Thread

Owing to the woeful lack of baseball tonight, and the general delight people take in game threads, I thought it would be fun to do a thread on the Yanks - Rays game, which is on ESPN right now. Let's see how it goes. Comment away!

Upton still sucks.

Hard to believe it was just a few months ago that he was killing us in the playoffs.

Pettitte gives up a hit

[heh, hit = drugs, drugs = steroids, Pettitte = steroids] to Carl Crawford.

Pettitte loads the bases

in the 1st, with two outs.

Jeter hits a weak pop fly

This being Yankee stadium, it ends up being caught at the right field wall.

Ill take the Rays

They are not gonna be in the hunt for the AL East this season. Not unless James Shields turns into Roy Halladay.

You got 'em!

I’ll take… also the Rays. Want the Yanks out of 1st place.

Good call on a Rays-Yanks GT.

Yanks lose, then we’re tied for first.

Wow, that was almost a home run at a REGULAR-SIZED STADIUM!!

You know what's like shooting fish in a barrell?

When the Yanks' bring back out their bullpen,

The fish will be shooting back.

But until then

APet is embarrassing them.

It's terrible watching the Rays bat.

I’m sorry, but it is. Since I’ve started watching, it seems like every out is by strikeout.

They only put in good at-bats against us.

We're in the 4th and only 2 HR so far

Do they have a humidor at The House the Taxpayers Built?

I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

Spoke too soon

Kapler goes deep. Tie game.

Kapler helps his Sox homies out

Ties the game with ANOTHER HR at the New Toilet.

Judas goes yard

This stadium is a joke!

It reallly is.

Did you hear how they have a butcher’s shop there?

Sonnanstine outlasts Pettitte.

He usually pitches well against the Yankees (and Sox), at least in his short career.

Stadium's averaging nearly four homers a game.

Add in the fact that the stadium’s half-empty and you have a huge, expensive joke of a stadium.

It was at 3.52 before adding 5 tonight.

I like to think of it as a $1.5 billion FAILPARK.

A-Rod hits into a double play

Mariano gets the save.

Choker. Why can’t he be a real winner like A-Rod?

Fun Fact

This little game thread has more comments than the one over at Pinstripe Alley. [Don’t worry, bs.uf, the link “the one” doesn’t link to a picture of Barack Obama. Not yet anyway.]

True.

In fact, you alone have more comments on this thread than the entirety of the comments on that PA thread. Impressive.

by dzawaki on Jun 9, 2009 3:26 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

two reasons

first 057h7, you have half of the posts on the thread so maybe its just you. second Pinstripealley is just not as good anymore b/c they have new ppl running the show. one more thing, you guys have the most unfair ballpark in the majors, you don’t even need corner outfielders to play there.

Cano is a Pimp

Maybe you don't need a great LF in Fenway

But RF at Fenway is huge, unlike the incredibly small RF in The House that Ruth Built (the original stadium), and the larger but still very small RF at the House that Steinbrenner Renovated (the 1976-2008 ballpark) and the House the Taxpayers Built (the current Coors East).

Unlike your stadium, Fenway is not a severe HR ballpark. The lack of foul territory inflates BA. The LF wall in Fenway takes away as many HR as it allows and turns many doubles into singles. Since both teams play on the same field, what’s so unfair? No one here said the new MFY stadium was unfair. We just think it’s a joke the way the ball flies out of there—and we’re not the only ones that feel that way.

I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
