Yanx/Rangers ALCS IST

The ALCS kicks off tonight with CC Sabathia and CJ Wilson in the ... wait for it ... initial matchup.

Good start. Could have been better.

I especially admired the way Jeter's unseen hand flipped the Wild Pitch from Posada to Sabathia. He's so awesome.

A close call at the plate goes in the Yankees favor. Imagine that!
|
| G-Fafif Oct 15 2010 06:51 PM Re: Yanx/Rangers ALCS IST |

That's Jeter's leadership right there. Or as Ian O'Connor would call it, Jetership.
|
| Frayed Knot Oct 15 2010 06:55 PM Re: Yanx/Rangers ALCS IST |
|
|
At least it was the correct call. The folks who would be storming the gates if the blue had blown that one would have been looking at my ass as they went because I would have been ahead of all of y'all. Thing is, once that bounce came right back to him, even two slugs as slow as Posada & Sabathia were able to pull that one off. Damn, Granderson's single ruins my dream of a perfect game.

Darling and some other guy lol
|
| Willets Point Oct 15 2010 07:04 PM Re: Yanx/Rangers ALCS IST |

The one guy just called that other guy Rick Sutcliffe. Sutcliffe sounds a little like McCarver in his cadence if not in his voice.

Sutcliffe is generally paired with ex-Met 'PIX voice Dave O'Brien, though Chris Berman big-footed his way into the first two Brave-Giant games last week.

If the course of this game changes, that would most obviously suck. And if it doesn't, how sure are you that this will be spun as a "blessing in disguise" for the MFYs?

Not for the faint of heart: If you catch "30 for 30" House of Steinbrenner, you'll see what John Sterling looks like when he's screeching "THE MFYS WIN!" or words to that effect. It ain't pretty.

Y'know what (else) sucks about this? If the Mets had done what the MFYs just did, it would go down as one of the greatest victories the franchise had ever known. They'd be carving space for another plaque on the Citi Field Fanwalk to commemorate it. But in MFY lore, this will just be tossed on the pile with the rest of them, probably exceeded by Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest.

Why, if the Mets were to pull this game out, like the MFYs just did, that game might even get more airplay than the Matt Franco pinch hit single game (which we'll always have).

All right people, buck up now. It's just one game. The Yankees have won as many as three games to start a series and still failed to win the series. Besides, this was the game the Yankees were supposed to win with "greatest pitcher in the world" C.C. on the mound. So the Rangers have learned that C.C. is human and they've tired out the Yankees bullpen. Granted the Rangers bullpen was well-used to but they've got better starters coming up. I have cahnfidence that evil will not be allowed to triumph. Go Rangers!

Now THAT'S a photo-shop waiting to happen. Meanwhile, it's time for Game 2. Yanx swapped around Pettitte & Phil Hughes so that Hughes is going in Game 2 (they like Pettitte at home better). Hughes pitched just one inning of scoreless relief vs Rangers this season. He'll face 31 y/o Colby Lewis: 12-13; 3.72 ERA, 1.19 WHiP Did not face the Yanx this year.

Eh. I think the MFYs are secretly embarrassed at Sterling's schtick and probably wish instead for a self-righteous homer bully who pretends he's a journalist like, for instance, their TV guy, Michael Kay.

There was a third person in the booth. Real nasally little squirty male. It was almost like his job was to keep feeding Sterling facts so Sterling could kick them aside with ex cathedra pronouncements. I dunno, maybe they're mic-ing the producer or statistician or somebody.

I've been away in the Poconos for the past few days, and was forced to listen to the Yanks broadcast on the way up yesterday (my wife's a Yankee fan). Even putting aside Sterling's most hideously smarmy, schticky homerisms, he's one of the poorest technical broadcasters I can think of. He does nothing to elucidate the details of the game; pitch locations, defensive shifts... even how hard a ball is hit or how close a play may be. Whatever small morsels of detail may be provided are delivered after the fact, so you have to piece the action together well after its conclusion.

Either the Yanx feel that their $10mil set-up guy is too delicate to go more than one inning or that he's untrustworthy against lefties to the point where they have more confidence in some scrub LOOGY. Either way it's not a pretty picture.

Have a Dallas native visiting the office this week, and when I asked her whether she had plans for yesterday evening, she mentioned that she was a "BIG baseball fan," and would likely be staying in the hotel to watch (lest she get harassed by MFY faithful in a local bar). I recommended a few non-MFY bars for her, and suggested she go out to catch it, since Cliffy was pitching. I also casually asked if she thought that Borbon and Francoeur should start at the corners, since defense might be key with Lee on the mound. Blank stare for about five seconds, then polite, "Maybe, yeah... I don't know." So, yeah... obviously a diehard. Enjoy your moose antlers and whatnot, lady.
And that's why today feels like Christmas. I'm not even talking to the diehard MFYers in the office... just quietly enjoying the general glumness/tension.

That's the problem with having networks working baseball's post-season: it makes too much financial sense for them to put to work these guys from other sports that they've already got on the payroll. But when non-baseball folks do baseball it shows - and if they happen to be doing your team it shows even more.

As soon as Darling said, with a two-strike count, that Rangers have MFY pitchers where they want them because of good 2-strike hit streak, it was obvious there'd be a strikeout.

| Frayed Knot Oct 19 2010 07:20 PM Re: Yanx/Rangers ALCS IST |

Darling's explanation of why they didn't go to the film was unsatisfying also. They're showing a graphic that says replay is usable for fan interference calls but then Ronnie is saying that they can't because, in the judgement of the RF ump, the ball was over the fence. But two minutes later the same ump judged that Berkman's ball was fair and that got reversed. I'm not sure that the Cano one would have been overturned anyway, but I don't understand why they didn't at look give it a look. Whoda thought that Angel Hernandez would be on the field and the talk is about a different umpire ... although there have been some odd ball/strike calls.

If the Cano ball bounces off the top of the fence (on the yellow line) and bounces back into play, is that HR? Ball off the wall in 1973 wasn't. If not interfered with, it's conceivable it bounces back.

O'Connor does a great job, capturing the mood of the avalanche of Yankee fans rushing to jump off the bandwagon, flee the stadium, quit, and declare that they never believed in this team anyway, all the while decrying the team's lack of heart.

well, he's not nose-deep in pinstriped short curlies like they're used to hearing whensoever their precious team is involved, but he's hardly anti-yankee. last night i heard him laud cano's play at second, declaring him the deserving AL gold glover for his position (which isn't entirely well supported by the numbers). it also didn't seem at all like he was disputing the cano home run outcome, and seemed to not be in favor of the umps missing the bases-loaded hit pantsleg, on swisher iirc, in the 8th. at worst, it sounded like he was in favor of either team last night.

That was from NFL Films' Super Bowl III highlight film, their begrudging acknowledgment of Joe Willie and then shunting the AFL punk aside to idolize Johnny U. The O'Connor piece made me think of that, and I'm sure that if (if) the MFYs don't advance but show any kind of pulse in the process of not advancing, we'll read variations on this, and how in the end they did themselves proud, because when you get right down to it, it's not who wins a single series that's important, it's who's won dozens of them.

Yeah, O'Connor is arguing against the IW and doing so on the basis that Molina is clutch, an RBI guy, and has it in his bloodlines. It's an arguable point but ya gotta do a little better than that dude. I personally had no problems with the IW that got rid of the LH hitter in favor of Molina. Whether Burnett should have been the guy to pitch to him (esp after almost throwing away one of the pitchouts during the IW) is a separate issue. Joba was warmed up and ready to come in at that point although when he did finally get in the following inning he went 2B - BB - 1B to the first three batters he faced so it's not like there's a guarantee that bringing him in would have gone smoothly either.
The fans of every team complain that network announcers are skewed against their guys - usually simultaneously. That Darling is a 'Mets' guy only adds fuel to the fire because they're convinced he comes in with a bias. Met fans might be almost universally convinced that the likes of McCarver and Morgan do nothing but suck MFY dicks all day but I haven't met a Bronx fan yet who didn't think both of them were more anti-Yanqui than Hugo Chavez. It's the nature of the business.

Thames hit alright this year and has some power which makes him kind of a run-of-the-mill DH. And, for the most part, that's pretty much what DHs are these days. Except for Papi and maybe one or two others, the days of the really high-priced slugger in that position are gone. Even vets like Thome & Vlad are on contracts that are way down from their peaks.

MFY's tied the game 1-1 when Gayrod scored from 3rd on a "wild pitch" which was actually a ball in the dirt that quite obviously caromed off Swisher's shin. But Vlad just made it 3-1 on a 2-out double after the MFYs intentionally [crossout]shit their pants[/crossout] walked Hamilton.

Swisher at the plate, a bounced pitch clearly hits his left shin and the ball goes five hole on Bengie.....gay runner scores from third..... TBS actually show gun readings on pitch outs?

Someone should tell Swisher that having more quotes than hits in a post-season series is not exactly what you want - and that if he wants to kick Cliff Lee's ass looks that he's going to have to wait until next spring sometime.

Michael Kay said on Thursday that if you're a real baseball fan, you want the Yankees to win Game 6 because Game 7's are so great. Don LaGreca said that he hates the Yankees and wants them to lose in 6. Kaye was incredulous. I love baseball, I'm loving this game, and will be very happy if there isn't a Game 7 in this series.
