Attempt At Another In-Gamer - Pettitte vs. Garland 7:05

Yep, Torre gets Manny now, Larry Bowa is there too. Seems the Dodgers collect ex Yankees/Sox. Maybe now the Sox can concentrate on playing baseball. And you got Pudge, I've always liked him, now I can't for at least two months!!!! And for Farnsworth too..........

haha. i never thought pudge would be a yankee... but, anything can happen i guess. farns was torn up about the move. i feel sorry for him. although i hated him when he used to give up those leads time and time again, he started improving and grew on me a bit.
i'm seriously interested to see how manny acts with his new team.

Hey, V! Andy's control looks shaky, but Ivan looks good in a Yankee uniform... let's see some offense.

-EJ/Kid From New York

hey EJ. i have a feeling andy will do well tonight though.
the only thing i'm not so sure about is if the yanks will be able to bring back that offense from last night. it feels like it's been a consistent pattern that the yanks win a blowout, and then score little or no runs the next night.

Will Jason be joining us?

no, J won't be able to join. he's has a friend from out of town that he's hosting.

Oh, okay. Did you hear? The Yanks traded Gonzo.

yes, i heard. for jhonny nunez. idk what to think of that move yet. the yanks traded away their backup shortstop.
what do you think?

I don't know what to think of it. I think minor league moves are minor league moves and should be calculated in the future. I do like Gonzalez, he was scrappy and he had great hands, but Jhonny Nunez is a good young prospect. I don't know his stuff, but he sounds promising.

who do you think girardi will go with for setup man now that farns is gone?

It's definite; Giambi's lost it. His magic eyes aren't magic right now, and when Giambi isn't patient, he's really slumping.

i know. G should really shave the stache already. i know his wife doesn't like it and it's not bringing him a whole lot of luck lately.

I think it's Marte. He gets lefties and righties out, his stuff is nasty, he was closer for Pittsburgh... it makes sense to put Marte in the 8th.

i thought it would be marte too, but then again. the yanks had brought him specifically to be a left handed specialist, despite being able to get lefties and righties out, so i'm not sure if they'll switch his role.

It's funny seeing Tex in an Angel uniform, huh?

yeah its weird.
and damn ittttt. have i mentioned how much i hate playing the angels?

Ooof. 3-0. A bomb by Hunter. A BOMB.

Pettitte looks off today. Am I the only one who thinks everything's going by Cano right now?

ouch. i guess my prediction is squat. andy is not doing it tonight.
i wonder if it has anything to do with the new face behind the plate.
he had a nice groove with molina.

Darn Angels. It feels as though we're out of it... weird.

i feel the same.
argh, i miiight've picked the wrong game to host.
plz, offense, show up tonight!!

Hey, it's the 3rd, the ballgame still lies ahead.

Here's Ivan!

argh, he goes down swinging.

Nice error hit by Melky.

i hope this won't be a long night.

Looks pretty long so far, V. I dunno.

cano is not having fun

Neither are we, watching him.

So who comes in? I'd assume Giese... Andy can't pitch for much longer. He's completely off.

yeah pettitte will probably get one more inning. he might start another, but i doubt it. giese is the long man so he's the best bet.

We look awful today...

There's 1! Nice job, Bobby!

no kidding. i hate hate hate the angels.
it's quiet in this in-gamer. if you get bored EJ, let me know. i won't hold it against you.
BOBBY!

Okay, Bobby seemed to have ignited the offense. Let's see if Giambi kills the rally.

lol, what happened to the optimism?

What a throw by Vlad a few years back. Jeez, that went WAAAY back.

Still here, especially after Bobby and Alex's at-bat. Let's see Cano come through. He's slumped as of late..

i know. vlad is scary. the guy is not human, which is why i don't like seeing him at the plate against the yanks.

Good at-bat by Cano. Let's see a hit.

darn. well the yanks at least get on the board. they can build off of that.

Grats, Andy, on passing Red Ruffing.

OKay, quick 1-2-3er.

great job by pettitte that inning. ivan will be coming up in this inning again. let's see if his second at bat is different.

Let's see some offense. Let's see some runs driven in, some walks, some hits... let's see a rally! When this inning ends, let's have at least another run on the board.

The Ivan Rodriguez Yankees picture they have here on MLB.com is funny.

Ah, c'mon Ivan! What're you doing? .... bad way to start off your career with a team. A strikeout and a DP. Hoi.

Triple by Melky! Nice! Let's see Damon bat him in.

woahh melky went for three... and made it.
vlad looked semi annoyed that hunter didn't let him throw it.

Ahahah! Nice job, JD! Back-to-back triples!

another triple!! that's what i'm talking about.

C'mon, Jeter! Take the base! And get a hit if need be! BOBBY'S ON DECK!

i'm just wondering. does pudge smile? he has that scary face that seems like it doesn't move lol.

No, he never smiles, especially when he said it was his dream to be a Yankee. jk xP

Pettitte seems to have found it. Let's hope so.

Oh God. 7-2.

wow. the yanks have no luck tonight.

Hey, Vanessa. Looks like comments have been making it through OK, yes? Basically once we removed links to Trade Talk blog from all the official team sites the server load practically disappeared. That was amazing...but should not have choked the comment.mlblogs.com server. Some changes are being made to prevent that one again. OK, just checking to see how comments are doing. I don't want to get on Baby Paul's bad side, he's just starting!

Damn. We look doomed.

Oh God, Vlad. Wanna watch Last Comic Standing or something?

ok... nowwww it's game over.
damnit!

thxx mark. it's much appreciated.

3 3-run homers.. unbelievable.

Cano can't get another one. Unbelievable.

somebody get cano a net. his glove ain't working.

a blowout followed by a blowout. the first one was fun... this one, not so much.

Tell me about it.

damn, i wish i believed the yank could actually come back, but the last time the offense provided a miracle like that was last season i believe.

Nice homer by Nady. All of a sudden, you can't help thinking there's a chance.

ah, nady had a pretty swing there, but it's only a solo shot.
ivan beats that out for his first hit. nice hustle.

OMG. these freakin umpires are blind!!!

Worst call I've ever seen, easy. How do you screw that up? That was awful. Terrible. Suspend that ump. Suspend him for such a bad call. Make him cry to his momma. He was clearly safe. No doubt. I want to find that umpire and strangle him. That's not professional. You call that professional umpiring? That was little league umpiring. Seriously, a 3-year-old would've called him safe. Awful call. The guy is blind as a bat. Blind as hell. Never seen worse. It's hard to be worse than that. That's like somebody taking a pitch and saying he swung. Awful umpire. Retire, you stupid old hag. You're an embarressment to the umpiring committee. I hope he cries himself to sleep, and has nightmares about his fellow umpires laughing at him. Jocko Conlan spits on that piece of garbage, that piece of trash. I don't believe that. Unbelievable. That's epic fail. That's total nonsense, trash. Garbage. Belongs in la papelera, the wastebasket.

Thank you very much. I hope they suspend him.

the umps have been terrrrrrrible this season. someone should investigate. they're probably betting on games.
i HATE the angels.
eeevvverrrryyy time the yanks play them the suddenly lose their ability to play baseball. it never fails.

I am flabbergasted at such a bad call, but really, the Yankees have been awful today. Awful pitching, bad hitting, bad umpiring. It's unbelievable. I hate it. Hate hate hat. I wanna curse so bad...

I'm not blogging today. Not a chance. There's no way to describe such an awful, disgusting game.

disgusting is right. horrendous.
i think i'll just put a picture up... what could portray this loss? a car crash maybe.

Wow, these in-gamers really get you a lot of comments. So many unhappy Yanks fans. I'm no exception.

I'm putting a picture up, too. In fact I put it up. You can check it out, it's kinda funny.

What were you guys responding to, Epic fail or bad game?

lol, it is.
thx a lot for sticking it out here with me in this loss. i usually lose my head whe the yanks get spanked like this.

the yanks really start hitting now... figures lol.

No prob, in fact, I feel the same, V. Just breathe in... breathe out... don't go hyena Vanessa on us.

The Yankees started hitting? I'm not watching. Baseball Tonight is on.

yeah, they had the bases load. score now 12 - 6 with one on and two out.
these are just pride runs.

12-6. Wow! We seem to be still alive coming into tomorrow.

Now it's game over. Thanks again for staying here EJ. Hopefully tomorrow's game will be a different story.

Aww, we lost. Oh well, I'm optimistic.

Jesucristo! Ya'll blew up the comment section. No wonder I couldn't comment earlier. Yeah, I'd say the Yanks "dropped the ball" in this game. Halos are a serious threat. Wow. Finally, they're putting it all together. Best record in baseball. Watch out...

LOL. The last in-gamer more people stopped by and we drove it up to 192 comments, but I started this post after everything was fixed so don't blame me! lolz.
The Halos are an aggravating team to play against. I can see why they're the best team in baseball.

Rats.
