let’s go boys bring him home!

thanks Cupie...
YEAHHHHHHH MATHIS
Look at Mathis go...
Mathis...

rockin’ the doubles!!

JEFF FUCKING MATHIS!!!!!

run, run run run run

yeahhhhhh11111

C'mon now!!!

GO MATHIS!!!

The force is strong in this one.
thanks cupie

i am on dialup in la mi fuckin rada

la mirada

like orange county but korean

it used to be rich & white
no worries

i got your six

Hitting Machine…5 Doubles????

he needs to teach the other guys how to hit lol
When no one else is hitting

Yes, he is a “machine”

If Sosh sits Mathis in any other games, he's a tard.

Mathis is sooooo focused in

dont bunt

figgy cant do shit

"Shoeless Joe" Mathis
so happy for mathis
that was the pitch Aybar could have hit to the right side
Mathis is on fire

Wow.

No bunts, Erick can get this. Lets go Aybar!
don't give up outs...hit to the right side Eybar

get em over

napoli? who's that?
Jeff "The Yankee Clapper" Mathis
MATHIS!!!!!

YES!!!!!

Mathis is a freak!! wow
Should've seen him the rest of the year...lol
Wtf Mathis

7 hits out of the past 8 at bats.

wow mathis

this reminds me of carlos ruiz
both like .230 or something hitters
who somehow catch fire in the playoffs

They had to have had Mathis hypnotized for this , I swear.
I've always thought Mathis has had a decent swing
pettite could spit on that ball every time

but he would never cheat

except steroids
but he Repented
why not?

I’m sure he cheated on clemens

Easy, Erick. Make him pitch to you, don't swing at any pitch.
yikes that pitch was high

impressive that he managed to foul it off

Jeff, pass on to your teammates whatever it is you've got
I sure hope that this playoff experience

has finally allowed Mathis to turn the corner as a Big League Hitter. I like this version a hell of a lot better.

Looks all professional with no dreads.
Man, he loves that neck-high fastball
Erick, STOP SWINGING AT BALLS.
ridiculous

I understand when you’re behind in the count, but that last one he fouled off was at ear level.

aybar is looking like a guy

ready to chase a wild pitch and reach base

almost called that one..
letters...looked like it was up around the eyes
Admiral

get ’er done son

Eric Makin Em WORK
well

he tried to reach via wild pitch

Vladdy has been coaching him
Aybar looks twelve now.
Eybar swinging at balls
shit

Aybar had a pitch to hit on the first one and he let it go, a fastball right on the outside corner

damn

knew that was coming swinging at every pitch

c'mon FIGGYYYYYYY
What was he swinging at?
a good question.
really bad swing
Someone needs to tell

the radio guy that his name is EYE-bar, not eye-BAR

That was ball 6

Did he even throw one in the zone?

nope

why should he? eyeBAR was swinging at everything

Do something good, Figgy
Sheesh, he was swinging at balls that only Vlad would swing at
why'd you do that aybaR?
yeah, a ball taken
Guess he should have bunted, Erick was never in that atbat.

Just swinging wildly after the first pitch.

Sampson Aybar loses his strength
Sheesh ump...give Colonel that strike too
bunt ?

what more reason do you need scioscia?
even he knows he cant hit

Aybar should have been bunting
The top of the order needs to get it done
Will someone here give Figgins a kiss and wake him up
good god DO SOMETHING Chone!
Pettitte takes so damn long to pitch

I read War and Peace twice between pitches

weak grounder to the right

vintage figgins from the right side

why even pretend to be a switch hitter

if you’re terrible from the other side?

it just eliminates any supposed advantage there ever was.

oh well

good play by cano

REally, we only won 95 games this year?

could have sworn it was 97!

facts are for LOSERS
Please don't waste a damn DOUBLE!!!
A leadoff double, no less.
c'mon BOBBYYYYYYYY Please
alright abreu

get mathis in

It's kind of a pity Erick didn't hit that pitch.
need to score here
Come on Bobby

Show those Yankees what they’re missing.

Time for a straight steal of home.

Go Mathis!

Not that they don't deserve it

but FOX shitting all over Figgins and Abreu

They got it correct.
CHUPA this is your SPOT!!
you can play the what if game all night

but if Vlad doesn’t stupid up the field, Mathis double would have scored 2

Bobby Bobby Bobby Bobby Bobby
Come on Bobby.

Just pretend there are no runners in scoring position.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmBOBBBBBAY
same pitch he started u with last time bobby

be a fucking hitter

thank you bobby
that's a run

WHOO HOO

BOBBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU BOBBY!
ty for hanging curves
+1

Mathis AND Bobby. even a struggling Abreu isn’t going to miss one of those.

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Booby dasjkjkdlfsalkjdsfkdlsjfdsfklj
that'll score one!
1-0

abreu single…nice

Woohoo

we strike first!

There you go, Bobby!
NICE

Now let’s keep this up!

Take THAT you damn time wasting Pettitte!!!!!!!!
SAME PITCH SEQUENCE AS FIRST AT BAT

ATTABOY BOOBBBBY

Shoulda batted him lower, eh?
BOB-BAY!!!!!

Angels score first.

let's go torii!
Pettite is hanging a lot of breaking pitches
Sure is

Let’s hope someone takes him DEEP soon

ALRIGHT BOOMBA TImE!!
Put your foot on their necks and let's hammer down
Gotta keep the 2 out rally going!
is that the first ever run scored against Pettite in a clinching game???

or do the announcers just make it feel that way?

in their little world it is.
Actually, Pettite has SUCKED in clinching game 6's.
Damn...that was a hanger and banger and he missed it
Just missed. Rats.
Torii was ALL OVER that pitch

fouled back

ummm no he didn't MISS it....he fouled it
thats the point...he missed hitting it squarely
Pettitte's 18,843rd throw to 1st
Abreu should run

Worst case – Hunter leads off next inning

Nice job calling time Torii
the fuck you nodding at bitch
Keep puffing those cheeks.
Notice a lot of high pitches over the plate by Pettitte ......I see a HR

soooon

tori looks poised to dong
knock it out torii
Right idea Torii

right idea…short porch baby

Nice try Torii, little bit farther left.
Let's go torii

2B right here

Or not
Get your Yankees AL Champs T-Shirts!

It’ll be a collectors item…because it’ll never happen!!!

from you typing to their bats.
ugh... thanks for showing up Torii
that was a ball to jeter blue
K3yerout = Torii

TIHS

well u got the lead

thats all that matters

that and, well, keeping it
Yurg, froze up 0-2.
Blargh

Same pitch that you almost homered. Guard the plate, please.

not a good at bat

had two pitches to crush, then is looking offspeed and takes 3rd strike

Way to point out we're down, Joe.
that's what he's there for...
fat guy in a little coat
Isn't that guy dead?
yeah he died a while ago, OD
drug overdose i think
give him some lovely parting gifts....
Saundo is going to get squeezed even more now..
great pitch

probably a ball though

But we didn't waste the double by Jeff, and that's what's important.
+1

but damn, Torii had two pitches to hit out…and missed them both

I know, but you know me. Accentuate the positive. :)
And yet you don't seem to do it much lol
GREAT strategy by Pettitte.

Batter falls asleep waiting for pitch.

then our batters need to be calling time out more
gameday...on the corner...

Joe didn’t get that call…not the high outside…only the low outside

Ture high strike for Pettite is there but not for Hokey Joe.
This board cracks me up .........Suspense , Thriller , Comedy all in one Board.

I luv it . Lets go Halos x100000000

yup

just wait until it’s further into the game.

Limey

I miss that idiot Johnny Gould

nice reference! I remember him from when I lived in Scotland
He was an idiot

but he was OUR idiot!

You and me both

…a triumph of enthusaism over intelligence and wit

Not unlike Hudler in that respect

…just without a clue what he was talking about

the way they wore dinner jackets for game one...
Now that ESPN are entrenched, I don't suppose we'll see them again
There's a Johnny Gould Appreciation Society on facebook!
but he had absolutely no pretensions to adequacy
Too true...

…kind of like a puppy. Pissed on the floor once in a while, but generally loveable.

what the hell is Petite crying about in the dugout???
Sniff...I gave up a run...sniff.

<>

did his purse strap break or something? or did Aroid use all the lip gloss??
Trainer is out of steriods
Tex looking like Tim Salmon there.....
with the half swing?
yea

Salmon put more balls in play on half swings than I think anyone!

Aybar, with the gun.
Buck awful quiet when things aren't going the Yankees way
took Timmy a bit there before he decided
That's just old age lol
lets up so.

That shit worries me. An obvious out and it took him forever to call it.

McClelland always takes a while.
That's not what she said
doesn't he do those viagra ads?
Come on, Joe, you gotta throw strikes.
dnt mind the inside balls
Oh yeah?

A-Roid isn’t protecting his knees, is he ;)

Meh. Get a DP, Joe.
DP

let’s go

alright cmon dp
A walk better than a HR , right ?

not if they get a homer now….

now they hate the throws over to first
" ... pitch around him because he's so 'hot' ... " -Joe Buck
was he drooling aroid goo?

Is that dancing how A-rod got Kate?

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW
This stadium is a JOKE
No doubt.

MLB should do something

so is citizens bank park
But at least its regulation size...lol
like yankee stadium

yet both are launchpads

Twins had to put up that ugly baggie in the Dome

Why don’t the yanquis have to change anything?

Routine fly...
god i HATE that short right field

drives me insane

Way to track it down, Chupa.
nice catch by abreu

very very close

Oh god that was scary
why does Saunders look exhausted?
he looks calm and cool , to me
Does he? Looks fine to me.
maybe it's the lighting or something. He looks off to me
too much Sex on the Beach ?

Cocktails , maybe ?

I think he's taking all those breaths simply to calm himself before each pitch, he's looking pretty good
A VERY loud out #2!
cause flyballs usually turn into homers haha
like citizens bank park hehe
exactly!
yessir

7 home runs in game 5
what a fucking joke….

This ballpark is a joke .......

That’s an infield flu rule ia anaheim

Why don't the Angels try to go the other way against Petitte?

look how close hip hip just hit that ball the other way…looked routine when he hit it

JORGE!!!!!!!!

Oh wait…sorry

Lol kind of sad that a pop up was almost a homerun...what a joke.
Kind of a routine catch

but the fact that it was to Chupa made it dramatic

hideki, swisher, jorge

dont really scare me that much

The only people on the field tonight that scare me at all...

The Umpires.

*knocks on wood for you*
I'll take 4innings from Joe and Weav after that
3 outs

YEAY!

6 LOB for the yanks.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Yanks leave 6

Angels lead by 1.

that's the end of the third

angels lead! keep it up, joe!

way to battle saundo!
Did I miss anything? Just kidding.

I was watching it while we ate dinner.

it's not good for your stomach...
Or your heart
good for a diet though....you may lose your appetite in some innings
I'm ok so far. Listening to it on the radio while we wait for the tv to catch up.

So far it’s much easier on the blood pressure.

let's knock pettitte out here
he is not look tired, he wants to give an ass whippping!!!
let's go hAlos *clap*clap-clapclapclap*
re-question

are they still the LAA of A? officially?

Yup

And no espn Person will let us hear the end of it

Who cares?

They’re still the CALIFORNIA Angels to me. THough they were originally the LA Angels, so I could care less.

I live in Anaheim; I think of them as ours.
+1

I was raised on the California Angels

What's Saunders

Pitch Count?

Hasn't been easy for Joe

But Yankees still scoreless, and THAT is what counts!!

those etrade commercials are creepy
especially the one where the baby pukes
I think they're funy

not so much that one but the other one’s.

funny but very creepy
Take this pair...of broken wings.....
and learn to fly again..
fox just loves that yankees junk
is there a Yank that they won't swallow?
Steinbrenner a little to moldy?
Joke field wall available to all

Time for K-Mo or JR to hit one out

time for vlad to hit one out

to make up for the pick off

Vlad please hit it out

Don’t make us endure your baserunning anticks again

big swing vlad

hey petitte, can you hang him a breaking ball? plz?

Get us started Vlad.
Pettitte "fastball" coming in at 88
that was ridiculous
Whew

Thanks Bobby. That sucked Vlad.

Catching up here--watching in the other room!
punch him in the face vlad!
Outside!!

bad call

Outside, not a strike.
yo

if vlad doesn’t like a pitch, you know it was waaaaaay off

rare Vlad-is-pissed moment
+1000
i bet that ump didn't understand a word he said
Not a STRIKE!

Give it to JOE!

Caught the 6 inch outside "edge"

Now give that one to Joe, damn ump

maybe instead of taking all these 88 mph "heaters"

the Angels start taking him opposite field….

EXACTLY! And pop it over the joke field wall
Vlad swings at them bouncing in the dirt

It’s funny when he gets made about called strikes.

i mean

i wanna resign vlad, but…

the batters box is the plate now??

think Vladi cusses the ump out in English or Spanish? LOL
Eh, not that outside...

close enough he shouldn’t be taking it on k2

that was 6 inches outside.

I'm just waiting for Petite to throw a ball over to first

And have the ump call it a strike

Pettite looks as nervous as Saundo
horrible 3-1 swing
yeah macarver, both pitchers have gotten that call

where’s Deion Sanders with that bucket of water

yeah, and all strike zones are equal
Argh, retry--LET'S GO ANGELS!!!!!

Clap clap clap clap clap.

Join in again or wave your Thunderstix!

Crap

Swinging on 3-1

+1

had exact same thought

How many pitches is Pettite at by now, btw?
55
Sweet

Let’s double that in the next inning alone!

3-1 pitch and thats all Kendry does with it? Yuck.
3-1 and you hit that weak ass grounder to SS?

really Kendry?

Stay closed and drive it OPPO.!!!

Stop trying to pull it!!!

let's go HK47

BRING IT

Howie should be good for going to RF
why do they keep

interviewing gerardi???

Have they interviewed Sosh at all?
nope
but thank God they keep having Yankee montages
Scioscia doesn't do in-game interviews.
too busy managing
I don't think he likes doing those

But butcher gets interviewed

Because he's a media-whore who loves the sound of his own voice
because they have the hots for him
they have the hots for

anything in a yankee uniform…..oh wait…that’s Katie-koo

cause they are paid to
wow quick inning
Guys

Stop staring at balls down the middle.

Lol another shitty inning!!

But we’ve still got the lead!

INNING OVER

OK not really. but they keep saying it like it’s true. I think someone may have actually alerted J-*uck

Fuck you JOe . There is no WS for these sakanks
Pettitte looks like fucking Cy Young

with our terrible bats and worst K-zone

Does that make Jeff Babe Ruth?
No, that type of ugly

is reserved for Napoli

Gotta stop looking, guys.

If it’s close pettite’s gonna get the call.

yep

i believe all our hits came relatively early in the count

is it just me or,

Pettite only has 1 pitch.

OK 1.5 really…

they say he throws mostly cutters
Starter version of Mo Rivera

With a baby curve

Well, the left side batter’s box is part of teh strike zone, now, so ……

How can they watch these shitty fastballs for strikes
Good morning, good afternoon, and good night to HK

K3yerout

apparently Howie wasn't watching Torii's ab at all....

look fastball adjust curve…..

especially when he is HANGING curves….. you really think he wants to throw an 0-2 curve anywhere near the zone when he’s hanging them…. the Angels are having horrible abs

SWING THE FUCKING BAT!!!

It either we’re too swing happy or we watch everyhting.

yea he's not throwing his curve hardly at all because it has been hung

the Angels need to go up there looking for fastballs until Pettite proves he’s not going to hang them

which is why I was wondering

why he only seems to have 1 pitch. I didn’t remember that from his last start… makes sense.

BLah

Though I do have to admit that I like seeing Vlad get all angry. Make ’em pay next time.

I liked it too - I don't remember last time I saw that.
We all know what happens when Vlad Gets MAD!!!!
C'mon HK, strikeout looking is NOT the way to do it!
Mexican Bonkers Squash
Pettite is only one win away from taking the Yankees back to the World Series???

geez, it’s only the 4th inning you assholes!

yes

and the Skanks are only 1 lead away from leading this game…

Mexican scythe squash
Other hitters need to copy what Mathis did; line the pitch the other way
c'mon JOE 1, 2, 3
roll call

trying to watch through migraine headache

Lol just don't scream to loudly!
Crappy strike zone

But once the hitters know the ump is giving it, then they HAVE to swing and at least foul the ball off
