Ahhhhhhhhhh the Yankeesssssssssssssssssssss win! Bernie Mac hits a walk-off home run

BERN, BABY BERN!

After all the talk about how he's washed up, it must've been very gratifying for Bernie to hit that homer. Granted his arm isn't what it once was, but he still can hit!!

Matsui homers, Yanks lead 5-3!

Bottom of the 5th, Yankees 7-3, and they're rolling out the tarp because it's pouring in the Bronx.

Yeah the stupid idiots wouldn't strike out so it could be an official game and they could call it (giving the Yanks the win)

The game's back on and A-Rod hits a 2-run shot, 9-3 Yanks!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the Yankeessssssssssssssssss win!

Yeah, baby! C'mon, we at least have to get the wildcard!

I didn't watch the game, how did Jaret "If the DL was a bathroom I'd be the attendant" Wright do tonight?

Wright actually pitched pretty well and got the win. He's now 3-2 and went 6 1/3 innings, 4 hits, 2 runs, 1 BB, 2 SO

Schilling blew another save tonight! He pitched 1 inning, 4 hits, 3 runs, 1 BB, 2 SO. WOO HOO!

:D thats a funny name for Wright


He surprised me and pitched very solidly tonight i was dreading watchin it...i was afraid he'd go "gas can" like Kevin Brown does with his famous 1/3 of an inning outing and get rocked...but Wright did great.

Mmm, Wright has a terrible ERA, I still wonder why we ever signed him. He is more likely to be on the DL than any of our other pitchers, and that says alot, considering we have Kevin Brown on our roster.

I'm glad he pitched well, hopefully he can actually add another solid arm to the rotation...which I guess is...

Johnson
Mussina
Wright
Small
Chacon

And in the bullpen...

Sturze
Proctor
Franklin
Rodriguez
Gordon
Rivera

Now, I'd like to see them give more starts to Tanyon Sturze. Also, does anybody have the official DL times for Wang and Pavano? I keep hearing conflicting reports as to when we're getting both of them back...

And please keep Brown on the DL.

JJ,
I thought I heard yesterday that Franklin was sent down to make room for Wright.

Also thought I heard that Pavano is gone for the year. Wang has been rehab-pitching. Let's hope they can have a steady, reliable staff when Sept. comes around.

Mmm, that's probably likely about Franklin MC, I haven't been following Yankee news as close since the football training camps/preseason began. Franklin wasn't very good anyways, I would've preferred they kept Buddy Groom.

Mmm, well, we'll need Wang back if Pavano is gone. I'd still move Sturtze to a starter (at least spot starting) role now, or test out Proctor again. If they can be *decent* (a big if for this years crew) then we should be able to take the Wild Card, the A's won't be able to hold that lead imho.

I think the Yanks are only like 2 1/2 or 1 1/2 games out of the wild card and only 3 1/2 behind Boston. They're still in it

1-1/2 Wild Card, you're right on Boston, 3-1/2. Isn't it about the time when Boston starts sliding?

if, IF, the Yankee pitching solidifies, they can easily come in first. Shilling seems to be derailing Boston single-handedly.

I agree MaryCas. If Wright can hold up his own, plus Moose, Unit, Chacon, and Small I'd take that (plus if we get Wang back for the playoffs). The hitting has been coming around (except Cano who's in a slump), they can make a push. Remember, it doesn't matter what they did in the regular season once it comes to the postseason

According to today's paper, they're 2 games out for the Wild Card and 3 1/2 out of first place. It all depends on the next 4-6 weeks. A month ago, whoever thought that Baltimore would be where they are? And six weeks ago, who would've thought that the Yankees would be where they are?? It's all going to come down to September, isn't it?

Both the Red Sox and the A's will be tapering off. It's the Angels I'm worried about.

bottom of the 8th and the BoSox just gave up the lead. looks like they're making things easier for the Yanks.

edit: a few minutes later and David Ortiz just saved the day.

Last time I checked, 3-1 Yanks, Johnson is pitching decent.

Enter the bullpen. 4-3 Rays. Even Mariano can have a bad day.

How about an update an your PS predictions, MC?

Ya know, I think of that at the wrong time. :rolleyes: My file is at home (weak excuse). I'll send myself an email reminder and do it tonight.

I still wonder why they haven't dumped Embree. He's now 1-5. Wow. I haven't seen him look decent, and he earned the loss last night.

I can't believe that Alex Graman or Colter Bean or Jorge DePaula are worse than he is. Please, Cashman, dump his ass.

baseball is the worst sports, it is pointless to even watch, completely predictable and unfair

boycott the MLB until they straighten out the problems

...DP2, this is the best you can do for the "How bout them Yankees?" thread?

I know, baseball's TOTALLY predictable! Like everyone predicated the ending to last year's ALCS. Thanks, I haven't had a good laugh in a while. If you wanna talk about sports being predictable, unfair, or just overrated than I ask you to turn you attention to the NFL

Hmm, go watch some hockey, and get out of here with that...
