Yankees win 7-2 over the Rays
The Rays aren’t a push over and the Yankees beat them pretty convincingly. You know Moose is always going to show up and when some one makes an error, he doesn’t crack under pressure like Rasner did the other day. I’d really like the Yankees to sign Moose again. The hitting star of the game was Alex Rodriguez for going 2 for 3 with 3 runs scored and 1 rbi along with a home run. Red Sox won like 14 to 2 Sheesh. One of my best friend’s is a Red Sox fan and he grew up in New Jersey. I don’t know how in the world that happened. Kay is right. When the Yankees fall behind, they get down on themselves.

I still have to post stuff about this game.
Yankees win 7-2. For the people who stopped by and read, I hope you enjoyed yourself. Come back again tomorrow.
Come on ump, end this game
Oh yes, “Our” boy Pavano starts tomorrow.
You can hear people in the stands. I’m guessing that 50 of the 100 people that were there left.
2 outs.
I can’t believe there’s only 1 minor league game tonight.
One out.
That’s a wicked breaking ball.
Cool, Giese is in the game.
Bottom of the 9th Last Licks for the Rays.
Last inning and I go play by play. Rays don’t score.
Whoa, the Red Sox are killing the Orioles.
What about the air conditioner? I just started putting it on a week ago because all the heat built up in me throughout the summer.
I was asking my friend John today when do we stop wearing shorts. Is there a certain day? The 21st of September? Is there a certain degree you stop wearing shorts?
Top of the 9th Yankees are up
Nice easy out to Joba. Inning over. 7-2 Yankees
I see raysbaseball.com in the back. I was going to say that no one goes to that site like no one goes to the games but I was surprised to see how many people go there(to the site).
Mariano has a nice easy smooth motion when he pitches too.
Bottom of the 8th Rays are up
You know, I keep hearing that song all the time. “YOUR lah of! YOOORA, Pee PULL, oh mountain Boyle!”
Inning over Yankees lead 7-2
I’d love to be an umpire. Every time some one strikes out, I’d start shaking my whole body while putting my arm out.
You can’t say game over just yet because of the way the Yankees have been playing this year.
A big, high, far, deep, home, run, BAAAAAHMB!!! by A-rod! Yankees 7-2.
Joba looks like he gained weight. Most of been all those meatball sandwiches.
That’s a good point. Baldelli swung at the first pitch when Joba hasn’t pitched in awlie.
Seriously guys, you got to stop showing Erin Andrews. She’s starting to get the most mentions on this website.
One pitch for Joba. Inning over.
Here we go
Joba is very successful in this role. He’s get out of the inning easily.
*Note* Here comes Joba
What is Fios? Man I’m out of the loop.
This is a good move by Girardi. He’s taking Moose out now.
Joba should stay in the bull pen forever. That’s where he belongs. He’s already shown that he can’t handle a starter’s load.
Bottom of the 7th Rays are up
Yankees don’t score
That’s the best way to pitch. I’d like to be able to pitch 95 mph and then be able to pitch 35 mph.
That was a nice double play by the Rays.
I want to make a new sport up. Then I’d be a billionaire.
Top of the 7th Yankees are up
I always thought a change up was when the ball goes something like a knuckle ball.
Al, Sabathia is going to leave Milwaukee after this year. They won’t be able to afford him.
That has to be the best feeling. Going from worst to first.
Michelle Beadle is really cute. I’d like to date her.
Bottom of the 6th Rays are up
Gardner has some weird shaped head. Inning over.
That makes sense. You come in last place every year, you get the best players in the draft. You’re bound to win sometimes.
I don’t understand why the catcher was not in front of the bag on the throw. I was taught that as a catcher, you wait in front of the bag waiting for the throw from the outfield.
Nice scoring by A-Rod. The Yankees are close to blowing the Rays out. Yankees 6-1
The Red Sox aren’t making it any easier for us.
Oh no, Palm Trees. They have to show me Palm Trees. I’d love to live in Florida in the winter.
If I was a fantasy owner that owned Garza, I’d be pretty mad right now. He’s still in the game with a chance to give up more runs.
Top 6 Yankees are up
Nice play Giambino. Yankees are up
I’m thinking of one of the Seinfeld episodes where Jerry wasn’t invited to the dentist’s party. That was a great episode.
I’d like to see Maddux get 400 wins.
That really didn’t look like a strike.
Take a seat Upton even though you are on my fantasy team.
The Moose is LOOSE. Another strikeout.
I’d like to go on Center Stage. I just want to answer, what your favorite book and music is.
Bottom of the 5th. Rays are up
Inning over 5-1 Yankees.
That’s something Jeter was always great at. Base running.
Rbi for Jeter. Yankees lead 5-1.
Rbi triple for Damon. Yankees up 4-1. This is surprising me.
Garza looks hurt. I’m surprised the Rays don’t see it.
At least you know that Gardner has a future if they keep working on bunting with him.
Top of the 5th Yankees are up
Nice job by Mussina. Rays don’t score.
The best news for me, is that I started Mussina is my roto league.
In the game against Detroit, you heard the umpire loud and clear and you heard, STEEEE HIEEEK! You don’t hear anything today.
Bottom of the 4rth Rays are up
Inning over, world SERIES, no, just kidding. Inning over though
How does some one hit a ball that far? He’s not even a huge person.
A long, home, run, BAAAAHHHMB by Xavier Nady! Yankees lead 3-1.
Giambino with the sacrifice. Tie game.
Don’t mess with the umpire? Who are they? They should have to answer for bad calling of balls and strikes.
Whoa, that looked like strike three.
Uh oh, A-Rod is up with 1 out and man on third. Does he choke?
Oh my, this guy for Tampa can’t throw anyone out. The Yankees should have Gardner and Christian playing this series. He only throws out 4 percent.
Everyone is chewing gum, Jeter, the umpire.
Derek Jeter will be the all time hits leader for the Yankees before he retires.
9 hits in 10 games Jeter is going to need to be the all time hits leader at Yankee stadium before they move. Hmm, will he do it?
Ok, now what’s a runner? She runs for the team. I don’t know what that means.
The Yankees better have a whole new team next year. I want to see young players everywhere. At every position.
Top of the 4rth Yankees are up
Inning over. Rays 1-0
Wow, the Rays scored. 1-0. They could hit with men in scoring position with 2 outs. *Ahem*
Red Sox are winning tonight. I’ll tell you what will be fun if the Yankees don’t make the playoffs, going to Red Sox boards to bust chops. I know of a good Red Sox site that I bust chops all the time and they know who I am because I just go there to bust chops a lot… http://www.survivinggrady.com/
That Riggans guys is crying for no reason.
That’s a long road trip for the Yankees coming up. True about having reinforcements Al Leiter.
Bottom of the third Rays are up
Yankees don’t score.
I’m always trying to learn how to swing a bat in case I play my brother in wiffle ball. I think you have to turn your hips when you swing.
Garza is looking great.
The MLB could afford another umpire on the field. Major League Baseball makes billions.
Cool, a base hit for Cano. I need that for fantasy purposes.
I just thought of a name for some one, “The Beer Blogger.”
My mother had beer at her house today. I wish I could have one right now. That would be cool. To blog with a beer in your hand but I can’t because of my health.
Ever since I started doing the live blog, I realized the YesNetwork plays the same commercials every game.
Top of the 3rd Yankees are up
With luck and skill, Moose gets out of the inning. Rays don’t score.
Another bad running mistake by the Rays.
Poor Rays. What the heck was the Ray’s runner on third doing?
Bottom of the second Rays are up
Yankees don’t score.
I started Nady in one of my fantasy teams. I hope he’s productive.
Jeter was Upton’s favorite player in high school? Dayem. How old is Jeter?
He does jump high though
That catch that Upton just made wasn’t as great as he made it seem.
I wonder if A-Rod will get 40 home runs this year.
I could get used to this Erin Andrews being on tv.
Top of the second Yankees are up
I’ve always wondered what would happen if you had every player on your team that just gets on base a lot but doesn’t hit a lot of home runs. Anyway, Rays don’t score.
That’s a bunch of baloney. “See the ball?” That’s the secret? It sounds like something out of the Karate Kid.
I don’t know, that was a low pitch for a strike.
The manager could bench Upton because that’s his guy. Girardi would have a harder time doing that to veterans.
The Moose is loose. He looks very good but it’s only two batters.
The worst thing for the Rays is that mostly Yankee fans are at the game.
Bottom of the first. Rays are up.
Yankees don’t score. Rays are up.
A-Rod looks happy. Let’s hope he has a great game.
I think maybe because a lot of old people live in Florida and that’s why you don’t get a lot of people to the games.
Whoa, that stadium is empty. That’s such a shame.
Inning 1 Yankees are up.
If anyone on the same team ever had a chance to hit for the cycle that would of been Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Not sure about the Babe making it to third.
“Well,” like Ronald Reagan. He made that word famous. “Well.” I hated when people tried to imitate Ronald Reagan and instead of trying to talk like him, they would say, “Well” and then stop.
Well, I hope the bad Garza shows up tonight.
For some reason, I have that song, Bah Bah Bah, Barbara Ann in my head.
Let Christian and Gardner start and the Yankees will have more than enough speed.
I’ll be a little sluggish. I had 1 hour of sleep last night.
Every coach that’s winning whether they or good or not are all of a sudden geniuses. Especially in football.
Joe has a good point. You can’t build Joba up in a month.
Cool, Joba could pitch tonight out of the bull pen.
I wonder if the Mets would be much better if they still had Kazmir.

Mussina is the only pitcher that could shut out the Rays on the Yankees. He’s very crafty.
September 2nd, 2008 at 7:43 PM
HaHa!!
September 2nd, 2008 at 7:53 PM
Girardi said one game at a time.
September 2nd, 2008 at 10:41 PM
Sean, I enjoyed your commentary through out the game.
September 2nd, 2008 at 10:42 PM
Nice job bro. Talk to you by email.
September 2nd, 2008 at 10:44 PM
This was a complete win. The hitting showed up. The pitching showed up and it was a well managed game. Girardi took Mussina out just in time. The Yankees beat the best team in the American League. That has to say something.
September 2nd, 2008 at 10:46 PM
Tampa is pretty far ahead of the Yankees. Boston won and that’s not good news but you have to take care of your business before worrying about other’s.
