Was wondering if the Angels were really playing as bad of defense as I thought they were. Had to check AN for confirmation. Total schadenfreude! I love seeing them fail.
Was when A rod got nailed in the elbow by an A’s pitcher. Who the hell was that again? Late August game, he was wearing elbow guard but the pitch was amazing in its ability to find the perfect crease in the joint and nail him. Funny.
That was it, the thread was funny as hell, did the trainer bring A-Rod’s purse with him as he escorted him down the line after his armor-all elbow got plunked?
That should make total sense to everyone watching the game who just happened to scroll down the TV guide and said to himself "MLB baseball" is that the one with charlie sheen?
The ideal scenario for the rest of the Yankee-slegnA series would be that every game goes 25 innings and all the pitchers arms fall off so they are no good next season.
All the key hitters get HBP’s on the wrist are with 90 plus fastballs and I cannot think of anything else.
played so sloppily and with seemingly total inertia in this game, WTF?
Defensively SO not panther, more like planter.
Sabathia was huge, huge, HUGE, all cheeseburger references aside.
Kimball’s set up a small area with couches and tables and a plasma TV (instead of the projection TVs that they usually have), and it was quite living room like. decent draft beer, so-so wings, ok hamburger and nice thick cut fries. The owner was quite talkative, and the other employees and customers were very friendly. All in all, a reasonable place to watch the game.
I dislike both teams, so I wasn’ too invested in the outcome…but the slegnA did absolutely nothing to deserve winning…and CC was great to watch.
Not Knowing How To Celebrate, A-Rod Breaks Champagne Bottle Over Teammates’ Heads
MINNEAPOLIS—Following the Yankees’ Game 3 victory over the Twins in the ALDS Sunday, Alex Rodriguez demonstrated a complete lack of understanding of the most basic celebratory techniques when he broke bottles of champagne over several of his teammates’ heads. “We were all screaming and cheering, but he just laughed in this weird monotone for a minute or so, then lifted his arm straight up, smashed a bottle on Melky [Cabrera]‘s head, and rubbed the shards of glass into Melky’s eyes,” teammate Robinson Cano said. “He fired a cork into [Nick] Swisher’s face from point-blank range, too. Then he just ran around in tiny circles for about 10 minutes. It was bizarre.” Rodriguez’s publicist later released a statement of apology indicating that, from this point forward, the Yankee third baseman would jump on home plate with the rest of his teammates after game-winning hits, and would no longer try to lick everyone’s face.

top 5 moments of 2009
Was when A rod got nailed in the elbow by an A’s pitcher. Who the hell was that again? Late August game, he was wearing elbow guard but the pitch was amazing in its ability to find the perfect crease in the joint and nail him. Funny.
paradox - October 16, 2009
was it our sweet little gio?
OakA'sHoney - October 16, 2009
^^ laughs ^^
That was it, the thread was funny as hell, did the trainer bring A-Rod’s purse with him as he escorted him down the line after his armor-all elbow got plunked?
Heh. Good times.
paradox - October 16, 2009
didn't they hit suzuki in retaliation?
p.s. i think it was jeter’s purse
OakA'sHoney - October 16, 2009
You're right, Derek Jeter
Dern it all, it was either him or A-rod. Heh, still good times.
paradox - October 16, 2009
hitting a yankee is really satisfying
except when that walk to 1st results in a run

OakA'sHoney - October 16, 2009
Thank God for Bulger's trusty
“3-2 slider nowhere near the strike zone” or that inning would never have ended.

how’s the game? I see the Angels have been pretty bad, so that’s one good thing…
whiteshoes40 - October 16, 2009

so that’s a good thing AND a bad thing!! The ambivalent fan…that’s me
BERRYJO - October 16, 2009
is there a way for the yankees to lose and the angels not to win?
OakA'sHoney - October 16, 2009
If only.....on to the next round where we will all be rooting for the NL!!
Unfortunately – we just have to suffer through this one.
BERRYJO - October 16, 2009
Yeah.
Unfortunately, the Twins and the Red Sox failed at that one.

Swisher looked like an Oakland A on that swing
Horrible pitch non-recognition

Looked like he did on the A’s quite often in key situations

Guess I’m rooting for the Angels by means of the lesser of two evils theory.
ElQuesoCapitan - October 16, 2009
The only time I root for the Yankees is when they play the slegnA
Feels good to watch them shoot themselves in the foot and have balls land 100 (feet in between two morons) from home plate for RBI Hits.
And of course to see Scioscia storm out of the dugout when a call goes against them.

At the Dodger game last night
in the Bottom of the 9th they played Enter Sandman on their booming PA, it certainly pumped up Brad Lidge making him pitch like Mo, Good Mo.

The ideal scenario for the rest of the Yankee-slegnA series would be that every game goes 25 innings and all the pitchers arms fall off so they are no good next season.
All the key hitters get HBP’s on the wrist are with 90 plus fastballs and I cannot think of anything else.
