IGT - Subway Series I - Game 1

Frayed Knot May 18 2007 02:47 PM

Prelim lineups (acc to WFAN): Damon - CF Jeter - SS ARod - 3B Posada - C Matsui - LF (or maybe #s 4 & 5 were switched) Cano - 2B Cabrera - LF Phelps - 1B Pettitte - P IOW, no Giambi, no Abreu Reyes - SS Easley - 2B Beltran - CF Delgado - 1B Wright - 3B LoDuca - C Chavez - LF Gomez - RF Perez - P Even though Willie lied earlier (AGAIN?, I'm outraged!!!) when he said he was going with Gomez & Green, not Endy * Hey, I'm Stevie Wonder!

Kid Carsey May 18 2007 02:50 PM

Gmta, now if you'll excuse me I have a thread to delete.

Johnny Dickshot May 18 2007 02:54 PM

Hopefully we can get this one in before Joe Torre's brother dies. Did I type that or just think that?

OlerudOwned May 18 2007 02:54 PM

According to that lineup, we better tell the lefties to pull and the righties to go the other way.

To so say, and then to do otherwise, would suggest that I don;t have a fucking clue to my name, so rather than explain that I'm still thinking about it to you, I shall declare: the die has been cast, and let those you dare mock me for indecisive shillyshallying do so if I should go back on this, my sacred word.

And the nuttiness is underway.

yeah he straight up lied to them this afternoon. hahaha Chavez guns down Damon trying to stretch it into 2. fuck you!

Endy the Great.

Johnny Dickshot May 18 2007 05:18 PM

Settle down, Ollie.

Not pretty but I'll take it.

Speaking of good over evil, Asshead Clemens gave up a no doubt about it home run to the first baseman of the Fort Myers Miracles.

OlerudOwned May 18 2007 05:51 PM

Doing some cleaning while watching the game, and I just dragged up my completely authentic* Mo Vaughn jersey. Amazin' what you can get for twenty bucks on clearance. Perez leads off the home 3rd with a bloop hit. Funny swing, serious results. *- Aside from the fact that mine is shirt-sized, not tarp-sized.

Batty31 May 18 2007 05:57 PM

So were you making use of the Vaughn jersey while cleaning? It would make a good dust rag.

Nymr83 May 18 2007 06:00 PM

OlerudOwned May 18 2007 06:22 PM

Time to kneel before the shrine of Endy. Wow, great defense by Pettitte.

Edgy DC May 18 2007 06:30 PM

Go-Go, it's a one-run game and A-Rod's on deck. Go for that shit.

Edgy DC May 18 2007 06:32 PM

Wow. Fanning the Rod on three straight.

OlerudOwned May 18 2007 06:34 PM

Reyes not going to get many acting gigs.

Edgy DC May 18 2007 06:37 PM

I still think that's a legitimate play... assuming that the ball is actually dropped, rather than caught, transferred, cocked, put down, and picked up again.

Johnny Dickshot May 18 2007 06:41 PM

I wouldn't mind seeing more fearsomeness out of Bel Train. Or Delgado. Or the whole middle of the order.

Edgy DC May 18 2007 06:53 PM

Matsui=funny.

seawolf17 May 18 2007 06:56 PM

I would have liked an extra run there.

OlerudOwned May 18 2007 06:59 PM

I've never seen Abreu look this bad before.

seawolf17 May 18 2007 06:59 PM

Steeeeeeeeeeerike 3. Hey, do they have to have that fricking throat cancer guy on the backdrop billboards? Get him out of there.

Nymr83 May 18 2007 07:02 PM

sit down damon! randolph will bring on Smith to face Jeter with a 3-2 lead and 2 outs in the 8th. great job by Perez.

Nymr83 May 18 2007 07:08 PM

Edgy DC May 18 2007 07:09 PM

Joe Smith, Sex God.

Johnny Dickshot May 18 2007 07:09 PM

Raise your hand if you thought back in March Joe Smith would be whiffing Jeter in the 8th inning to protect a 1-run Met lead in SSeries. Fuck yeah, Joe.

OlerudOwned May 18 2007 07:09 PM

Hello, world. Y'should get to know Joe.

Rockin' Doc May 18 2007 07:10 PM

That Jeter guy sure is clutch.

Johnny Dickshot May 18 2007 07:13 PM

Isn't that such a perfect encapulation of this moment in the fortunes of the two teams? Apple-cheeked annonymously-named unknown bitches up the millionaire idol looking.

Let's keep it that way.

Kid Carsey May 18 2007 07:20 PM

Two outs to go coob as Arod grounds out to Reyes

Nymr83 May 18 2007 07:21 PM

i think we're guilty of short-memories here, Franco was alot "scarier" than Wagner will ever be, and i think Benitez was about the same.

Rockin' Doc May 18 2007 07:22 PM

Wagner gets Ears with a K. Only one out to go.

Edgy DC May 18 2007 07:22 PM

None of them were scary. The ninth inning was scary.

Johnny Dickshot May 18 2007 07:24 PM

He's safe.

Nymr83 May 18 2007 07:24 PM

fuck, matsui reaches on an Easley misplay with 2 outs! never give the yankees extra outs, they fuck you.

Rockin' Doc May 18 2007 07:25 PM

nymr - "never give the yankees extra outs, they fuck you." And your dog too.

3-2 to Giambi...fuck...

Rockin' Doc May 18 2007 07:29 PM

Wagner tells Giambi to sit down. Go crazy people. The Mets win.

Johnny Dickshot May 18 2007 07:30 PM

Giambi is an incredibly tough out. Nice job Wags, nice job Mets.

OlerudOwned May 18 2007 07:31 PM

Billy Wagner, you have my full kahn-fidence.

Kid Carsey May 18 2007 07:34 PM

Ny: >>>i think we're guilty of short-memories here<<< Nothing wrong with being nervous in a one run high-profile game. If Wagner don't make you edgy, good for you.

That was a scary at-bat with Giambi. But I'm warming up to Billy Wagner.

Gwreck May 18 2007 09:30 PM

Crowd was..eh. 75% Mets fans. Aside from the Matsui HR, they didn't have much to cheer about. I was supposed to have my Oliver Perez t-shirt for tonight but the mlb.com shop fucked up and sent me a blank t-shirt. Really wanted to have had it tonight, especially with another great outing. Much love for the Endy. Expected to see the curtain call but it didn't happen. Aside from Easley's homer in the bottom of the 10th to tie, I don't think we've had a curtain call all season.

Johnny Dickshot May 18 2007 09:33 PM

I was getting some laffs over the MFY board and the terrible home plate umpiring is one of the major themes tonight. Bust mostly, a sense of despair that many of them never fathomed they'd experience: Mark19: ]This just isn't our season. Each humiliation is worse than the one before it. Giving up hits to the pitcher, now giving up HRs to the defensive replacement CyYoung4Vasquez: ]Seriously WTF is with this season. Honestly what the F is happening DaYanks24: ]I can't put into words how happy I am the Yankees signed Damon instead of Beltran. Yet another fantastic move by Cashman. Yankee in CT: ]That's it. I plan to do other things this weekend that watch this pathetic team. my favorite, from jglaubman: ]Joe FREAKING Smith should not be getting close calls against DEREK JETER!!!!! jimmykey2: ]And Oliver Perez shouldn' have a wider strike zone than Andy Pettitte. Montyque: ]Worst strike call I've ever seen.

] my favorite, from jglaubman: Quote: Joe FREAKING Smith should not be getting close calls against DEREK JETER!!!!! That's fuckin classic....so Joe should have more service before he gets those calls? Maybe Jeter is a future HOFer but I wish Ron and Keith and the studio guys would stop refering to him as such every time they mention him. It's weird but my feeling after the game was one of relief,like we can't get swept now at least...that's fucking stupid because we have the better team.

Johnny Dickshot May 19 2007 09:40 AM

Looking back, had to be awfully frustrating for MFY fans. Pettitte pitched great and never gives up HRs to LH batters but it was only one mistake. Their guys hit several balls hard but right at gloves, and if Damon isn't such a meathead they probably put up a crooked number in the first. Proctor was fine.

metirish May 19 2007 09:42 AM

Pettitte on the YES post-game said he thought Endy was going to bunt right there..... I should add that it sounded like Pettitte never even thought that Chavez would be doing anything other than bunting,which of course was a mistake.

soupcan May 19 2007 09:52 AM

Had a blast. Coming from CT we chose to MetroNorth/Subway instead of driving. Going in that was the right call, coming home maybe not so much as the game ended at 9:30 and we didn't get home til 12:00. Had we driven I would've been in my bed by 11:00 at the latest. Strawberry, was in the VIP seats on the field. He seemed very accomodating, siging autographs for anyone who asked. Kristen Chenowith is a cute little thing. Leather thigh-high boots might have had something to do with that. Mayor Bloomberg sitting second row behind the plate instead of the box on the field. Wonder if Rudy advised him to buy those seats? ND's throw to get Damon in the first was just awesome and took the crowd from low to high in a millisecond. Had a loud obnoxious Yankee fan behind me who strangly disappeared pretty much right after ND's dinger. That's the one bad thing about my seats. Its such a transient crowd, never the same people around you from game to game and always lots of Yankee fans at these games in those seats. I'm not complaining though, the view doesn't suck.

I'm not complaining though, the view doesn't suck. I had a co-worker stop by to say hello on Tuesday night and although she's heard me talk about how I love my ticket plan and the seats I have, I don't think she really got it until she came by to say "hi" and would up with the revelation "wow, it's like that scene from Fever Pitch, how do you know all these people?" And it's true. Everybody renewed from last year, so we've got the twenty-something twin sisters who sit next to us who always keep score, the family behind us who have twin redheaded boys, about 14-15 who never stop talking about the game (one of whom reminds me of me when I was that age), the guy on the other side with his curmudgeon father (I love talking to him), the two guys in the row in front who are always there, etc. The point: of course, we had a bunch of Yankee fans around us last night, which changed the atmosphere some. Funniest moment was the idiot who threw the ketchup and managed only to hit another Yankees fan.

Kid Carsey May 19 2007 11:43 AM

We had a great group in 2000 at my seats. People would watch out for your stuff when ya get up, we bought and sold tix from each other so you could bring bigger groups, we drank champagne when the NLCS was won, we did the quick hug and cry thing while the Yanks were humping on our infield. I miss those guys and that time in my fandom. We all moved our seats to better locations the next year and I haven't seen any of them since early 2001.

MFS62 May 19 2007 12:33 PM

Endy is the kind of player we wanted Timo Perez to become. Later
