McCann not in the

section125 : 8/25/2015 5:22 pm : link

Line up??

McCann needs to rest that knee

RasputinPrime : 8/25/2015 5:27 pm : link

before he is standing on one leg at the plate.

Murphy against Keuchel makes sense.

I can't believe

RasputinPrime : 8/25/2015 6:38 pm : link

the production the Astros have gotten out of several non-stars on the team. Marwin Gonzalez really?

McCann was hot last night, and ARod is ice cold.

yatqb : 8/25/2015 6:45 pm : link

But Girardi went with the righty-lefty matchup. Can't fault him for that.

1-0

RasputinPrime : 8/25/2015 7:18 pm : link

Ellsbury took a bad route to the ball. WHIFF

Ellsbury has been a real turd

B in ALB : 8/25/2015 7:18 pm : link

the past few weeks. Was he not playing attention again? That was dogshit.

Got fooled. Took a step back before recognizing the ball.

Colby Rasmus

B in ALB : 8/25/2015 7:20 pm : link

looks like Cher on meth.

Bad Nova

section125 : 8/25/2015 7:20 pm : link

tonight.

Nova shitting every bed in the stadium

RasputinPrime : 8/25/2015 7:24 pm : link

4-0

Ellsbury is out to lunch.

well...that was fun

redbeard : 8/25/2015 7:25 pm : link

....

Wow

GruningsOnTheHill : 8/25/2015 7:26 pm : link

2 outs, nobody on, 2 strikes...to 5 runs

Thanks Ellsbury

B in ALB : 8/25/2015 7:26 pm : link

and Nova. Good job. Good effort.

Capuano time? Astros will score a couple touchdowns tonight.

Nova getting lit up

illmatic : 8/25/2015 7:27 pm : link

5-0 and now the bullpen will be run out there early yet again. And with a 5 run deficit and this offense, it feels like game over already with the way they've been playing. Awful.

Pathetic pitching by Nova

Kyle in NY : 8/25/2015 7:27 pm : link

Hadn't been too good lately and now this

Bad night

micky : 8/25/2015 7:29 pm : link

Oh well

WTF?

Del Shofner : 8/25/2015 7:29 pm : link

Just got home to find this mess.

Not even giving the team a chance

Kyle in NY : 8/25/2015 7:30 pm : link

Be a pro, get out of this inning and give some length

Keep Warren

RetroJint : 8/25/2015 7:32 pm : link

in the bullpen so you have the sixth inning covered. Through his entire stay with the Yankees, Nova has been a good pitcher for about a 3-month period.

Leave Nova take the hit on this one

micky : 8/25/2015 7:35 pm : link

and let pitch for length. No need to burn BP when already down about half dozen.

I expect this team

RasputinPrime : 8/25/2015 7:35 pm : link

to wake Keuchel up from his fantasy. This guy is throwing 89 and making the entire league look afool. That has to end tonight.

That pitch wasn't even close to being a strike

illmatic : 8/25/2015 7:39 pm : link

to ARod. Gonna be an even longer night for this offense if they're giving pitchers those calls.

Big surprise, you're full of shit on yet another subject. Does Didi still not have the arm for shortstop?

Where did the Yankees

section125 : 8/25/2015 7:41 pm : link

go? Is this Charleston?

the guy throws lawn-darts

RasputinPrime : 8/25/2015 7:42 pm : link

and no one can hit him. I recall watching another pitcher trot out there with less impressive stuff and have sustained success.

and flawless in the second

RasputinPrime : 8/25/2015 7:49 pm : link

Just tuned in

NYerInMA : 8/25/2015 7:50 pm : link

I guess Nova did his best to end the game in the first inning.

Keuchel is Glavine's

RasputinPrime : 8/25/2015 7:52 pm : link

younger brother. Late bloomer who learned how to bribe the umps into giving him an extra few inches. I want to burn that beard right off his face.

Well

blueblood'11 : 8/25/2015 7:53 pm : link

You can put this one in the loss column. They have no chance against this guy.

To add to that

blueblood'11 : 8/25/2015 7:54 pm : link

As he makes the Yankee hitters look like asses all night long.

Is this the jackass

B in ALB : 8/25/2015 8:02 pm : link

Who bitched and moaned because ARod jogged on the mound a couple years ago? I thought the guys name was Dallas something.

Who names their kid after a city?

"This is my son Albany Jones."

"Oh, well meet my daughter Tallahassee McReynolds."

Fuck that nonsense.

That was Dallas "Shitfaced" Braden

Here we are again

blueblood'11 : 8/25/2015 8:06 pm : link

Another pitcher over matching this lineup. It's pathetic.

our offense has been shitty for a while

RasputinPrime : 8/25/2015 8:14 pm : link

but Nova throwing 88-91 is concerning. He clearly can't live at that speed.

Beltran

RasputinPrime : 8/25/2015 8:23 pm : link

misses a homer by a foot.

Beltran passes Mantle into 13th on the all time hit list for switchies.

Rasmus with a double

RasputinPrime : 8/25/2015 8:28 pm : link

terrible to look so bad to someone who looks so bad.

Bye Nova

B in ALB : 8/25/2015 8:32 pm : link

You were fucking awful tonight.

7-0

RasputinPrime : 8/25/2015 8:36 pm : link

Gattis homer.

Brutal outing by Nova. We are really counting on Pineda coming back and staying healthy

We're in 'take one for the team'

dpinzow : 8/25/2015 8:42 pm : link

mode with Rumbelow

this is fucking terrible

RasputinPrime : 8/25/2015 8:42 pm : link

8-0 and Rumblelow lobbing it in there.

Get Refsnyder back up here

dpinzow : 8/25/2015 8:43 pm : link

at least he can make up for a booted ground ball with his bat

according to Kenny

RasputinPrime : 8/25/2015 8:43 pm : link

the 1927 Yankees used a total of 25 players. No roster moves the entire season.

Ryan poons one

RasputinPrime : 8/25/2015 8:44 pm : link

9-0

Capuano getting ready to come back in. Going to ask for stock options soon.

Brendan Ryan

BrianLeonard23 : 8/25/2015 8:45 pm : link

Doesn't do anything positive

9-0

BrianLeonard23 : 8/25/2015 8:48 pm : link

Probably safe to change the channel

Ryan did one thing well

RasputinPrime : 8/25/2015 8:48 pm : link

and then he shaved it off.

It was so interesting to hear about

B in ALB : 8/25/2015 8:49 pm : link

him shaving the moustache though! Just provocative stuff.

And the facial hair thing is fuckin stupid.

First Time...

looie : 8/25/2015 8:57 pm : link

This team has been blown out in a long time.

The lack of offense this month has become a real concern. This lineup is beginning to show its age and I'm not confident they'll find figure it out once September comes. Hope I'm wrong, but a late-season swoon may be underway here.

Benches clear

dpinzow : 8/25/2015 9:00 pm : link

Gomez being a punk, this is nothing new

We're going to see what happens

dpinzow : 8/25/2015 9:03 pm : link

because the Yanks are well within their rights to throw at Gomez if he comes up to bat again

I would turn back the clock

RasputinPrime : 8/25/2015 9:04 pm : link

and bring a little Doc Ellis to the game.

I take back the change the channel comment

BrianLeonard23 : 8/25/2015 9:05 pm : link

Could be looking at Gomez/McCann II

Bowden was telling an anecdote today...

Dunedin81 : 8/25/2015 9:24 pm : link

about calling Ryan Zimmerman up to the Nats and Frank Robinson simply refusing to play him, even though he was clearly better than the stopgap holding down the position. I have no fucking idea why Refsnyder or at least Pirela isn't in the Bronx, but I wonder if Girardi simply has an irrational comfort level with Drew and Ryan and Cash doesn't want to call him up to sit.

And Capuano, instead of throwing at Gomez

dpinzow : 8/25/2015 9:30 pm : link

Yanks throw back at someone? Not gonna hold my breath on that. They have no problem being bullied. Been that way for years. Look at the way they handle everytime Boston throws at them.

Oh and LOLNova. ......

Does Brian Cashman really expect people to believe that he

shockeyisthebest8056 : 8/25/2015 9:44 pm : link

had to trade Bird, Severino, or Warren to upgrade over people like Brendan Ryan, Capuano, PinderRumbelowCotham, etc? He did literally nothing to help the team and now they're running on fumes.

This team has no fucking balls

B in ALB : 8/25/2015 9:44 pm : link

Gomez chirps and acts like an asshole and the Yankees just sit there and take it with a HR.

That shit is embarrassing. They're getting emasculated.

Brendan Ryan pitching

dpinzow : 8/25/2015 9:45 pm : link

we were on the right side of these in July...now we're pitching a position player

Ryan pitches a scoreless 8th

dpinzow : 8/25/2015 9:51 pm : link

more effective than Nova or Capuano

I step away for a meeting

RasputinPrime : 8/25/2015 10:08 pm : link

and come back to Ryan having pitched two scoreless innings. Losing 15-0 at home is a disgrace.

I don't want to see Capuano pitch

Kyle in NY : 8/25/2015 10:12 pm : link

for this team again. I really don't care if the team is getting blown out and he's the last pitcher left. Fucking loser lets Gomez get the last laugh like that. Embarrassing game. Team has been sleep walking for a month now.

girardi does what he is told, that's why he's the manager. If Cash wanted those guys up and playing, they would be up and playing.

First baseman trying to kill Correa

bceagle05 : 8/25/2015 10:14 pm : link

in a 15-0 game. Just step on first, dipshit.

15-1

RasputinPrime : 8/25/2015 10:14 pm : link

Correa almost blows a hammy. Must be fun to be 20.

I stopped watching early

Stu11 : 8/25/2015 10:20 pm : link

what did Gomez to after his HR? I did catch him acting like a horse's ass when he hit his double in the first. First good game in a month for the guy and he's acting like Babe Fucking Ruth.

I love Joe Torre to death, more than most around here, but this shit goes back to his days as manager. Pedro and the rest of the Sox would use Jeter/Soriano etc...then later on ARod as pin cushions and our staff would do shit to retaliate under Joe's orders.

How about the Tulowiski single, he gets jammed and it falls in to tie the game.then the Beltre routine grounder and errant throw. Everything seems to be going their way.

Beltre with a great last AB there

Stu11 : 8/25/2015 11:15 pm : link

swinging at balls over his head. Next time go up there with a lacrosse stick you idiot.

Jays are looking like team of destiny

ah man, thought the Jays

Del Shofner : 8/25/2015 11:22 pm : link

were going to lose tonight.

Well, it's a marathon not a sprint, and that goes both ways.

I actually feel pretty good about beating the 'Stros tomorrow.
