Good morning, Fackers. We can all exhale a bit as the Yankees did what they had to do last night in order to even the series on the way to Philly. The outcome was on the line until the very last at bat, and there were a lot of people that were acquitted of some bad decision making when Matt ...
Back To Even
fackyouk.blogspot.com 10/30/2009 — For all the complaining that we did about Joe Girardi's managerial decisions before the game, the difference between having not having Jorge Posada and Gardner/Hinske/Swisher in the line up was not that big in terms of run expectancy. When the tires met the road in the Bronx last night, ...
Dissent in the ranks over Molina-gate
riveraveblues.com 10/9/2009 — For 12 years, the stories about Derek Jeter and Joe Torre told a tale of deference. Jeter, a rookie during Torre’s first year in the Bronx, had a special bond with his manager. He would call him Mr. Torre and rarely, if ever, questioned his ...
The Good AJ shows up
itsaboutthemoney.net 10/30/2009 — All that handwringing and consternation and what do we get: The Good AJ and there's no serious issues with Hairston or Molina. Of course, as I said earlier today, about Molina and Hairston:
Remember this : If it works, that doesn't make it the ...
Molina Pick-Off Proves Girardi’s A Genius.
mlbnotebook.com 10/30/2009 — There was a big hubbub about Joe Girardi starting Jose Molina (.217/.292/.268 this year) at catcher over Jorge Posada (.285/.363/.522 this year) tonight. The justification was that AJ Burnett pitched better with Molina behind the plate, and that that made up for the massive difference in ...

sports-central.org 10/30/2009 — A.J. Burnett would like to thank Cliff Lee for giving him what he needed to beat Pedro Martinez and the rest of Lee's guys in Game 2 of the World Series, says SC's Jeff Kallman.
World Series Game 2: Idiot Wind
fackyouk.blogspot.com 10/29/2009 — Here's a new one guys, Joe Girardi is driving us insane before the game even starts! When Francisco Cervelli was dropped from the World Series roster, I said that we could "almost certainly infer" that Jorge Posada would be catching A.J. Burnett in Game 2. Earlier today I threw out the option of ...
Analysis: Girardi Succumbs to Old Myths
bats.blogs.nytimes.com 10/30/2009 — Yankees Manager Joe Girardi, for all his emphasis on enlightened thinking, succumbed to two myths on Thursday in setting his lineup for Game 2 -- that hitting streaks matter in baseball, and that pitchers perform better with certain catchers.
Molina-Gate: A.J. defends Posada
riveraveblues.com 10/11/2009 — After six months of baseball day after day after day, this drawn-out schedule for the post-season seems interminable. The Yanks played last night for the first time since Sunday and do not play again for another 27 hours. The waiting, as Tom Petty ...
Yankees Even Up Series Behind Great Pitching from Burnett and Rivera
yanksblog.com 10/30/2009 — With much hoopla, Pedro Martinez returned to postseason baseball at Yankee Stadium on Thursday night, facing A.J. Burnett in Burnett's first ever World Series start.
The Phillies struck first, in the second inning, when Matt Stairs hit a hard g...
Swisher takes a seat —
NY Post: Sports 10/30/2009
The new haircut didn't end Nick Swisher's postseason blahs, so maybe a seat on the bench will.
Tired of waiting for Swisher to emerge from October hibernation, manager Joe Girardi last night gave Jerry Hairston Jr. a start in right field for Game ...
