[Freestyle Phantom3.0]

what a fukking game brehs,

I had to watch it on dvr starting at like 1130 last night and passed out in the top of the ninth

woke up around 4 am and put that shyt back on and saw RAAAUUULLLL like

lets close this shyt out tonight

Swish and Granderson are probably thanking the high heavens that A-Rod is carrying the brunt of the blame.

Those two have suck, Tex has sucked in the playoffs since he was signed.

Also, I agree that we can't bench ARod. The dude is so emotionally fragile that if he gets benched and we advance there's no telling if he can come back from that. Small moves like what binder did could help though, Arod just looks lost out there, awful swings and short at bats.

Grandy and Swisher though those dudes need to get that work. One has to sit at some point, and I'd sit either of them before Arod.

I can't believe I had to miss the game last night. Getting updates on the phone I couldn't believe that he pinch hit Ibanez for A-rod that was a ballsy call then when it worked . Rauuuuuuuulllllllllll man what a great pickup he's been. All you killing the binder the binder got the last laugh last night in the binder we trust

Good game last night. I swear if the Orioles bats came to play this could easily be a wrap. The Orioles took the crowd out of it from the begining. I have been saying from jump that Jim Johnson has been shaky and he got touched again last night I want the series to go the full five so we shall see if the O's can put that loss behind them and come out swinging. Adam Jones, Matt Wieters, Mark Reynolds where yall at we need you. You looking out there

I walked past Staples this morning and smiled as I looked at the row of perfectly situated binders on the shelf.

They looked as if they spoke to me, opening and closing saying "good morning to you, Yankee fan!!"

I nodded and gave the look of before walking towards my office.

Disgusting.

It's a huge problem.

Thank god for the Yankee arms pitching as well as they have.

I was making different points.....2 was just sort of a moment....not related to the others...

I just got caught up in trolling

I can respect that.

Along those lines, at this point I can't figure out if Yankee fans are trolling a-rod or vice versa.

Tonight is one of those nights where I would'nt be shocked if Swish, Tex, A-Rod and Cano go off.

I'ma let Alex live cause I feel bad, and I don't want dude to get that X-Pac level of heat but he needs to produce in those spots. This Ibanez thing was great but there's something to be said about the fact that you can sub in Raul Ibanez, an aging veteran who admitedly is really just here because he wants to be part of the Yankees lore (you heard him say it last night that he feels blessed to play for the New York Yankees) and he hits not one but TWO HRs in clutch moments.

He's the highest paid player in the game and I can think of tons of hitters I'd rather have in that situation. And yeah the numbers might not make sense but like many of us have said every year since A-Rod has been here: it's not about the numbers because if you watch the games you can SEE that dude is pressing and nervous up there. Your eyes are not playing tricks on you. Say what you want about the rest of the bums but they're not the highest paid player in the league, touted to be the greatest player of his generation.

I just want some ROI. That's all.

Bench 4 starters

Wtf are you thinking?

 

[jflores]

If we can get half the production we got in 09 from A-Rod I would be more than happy. Sucks that only A-Rod gets the blame when Swisher & Tex have never produced, and Granderson wtf is up with this clown. Dude went from being a 20 hrs, 20 triples, 20 sb guy to a pull hitter.

There is no way A-Rod gets benched, perhaps moved down to 5 or 6.

Raul Ibanez had a .827 WPA last night

He said "go off" not "take the night off."
