Did you see the Yankees?

[NJ Democrats]

They just scored 13 runs in the 8th, coming from behind to take a 20-11 lead of TB. The d-rays kept the same pitcher in during most of this barrage.

1. that was beautiful

(big yankee fan, originally from brooklyn)

[NJ Democrats]

3. I know

I love the Yanks.
Going to a sox game next month, and will wear Yankee jersey!

[sniffa]

11. red sox or white sox?

and where are you catching the game?

[JohnKleeb]

2. Yeah

Wish they would have lost but I really dont care.

[Call me Deacon Blues]

4. I think Pinella WANTS to get fired.

Tampa Bay deserves to lose, giving up 13 runs in one inning. I don't care how many pitchers they used.

[liberaliraqvet26]

5. pinella's a shitbag

always been even when he was a yankee

[newyorican]

7. I've always loved Lou...

even though I can understand why many don't like him.

[NJ Democrats]

6. I think he does too.

He has criticized the owners recently.

8. 13 runs, 12 hits, 4 home runs including back to back to back ...

the first home run in the 3 in a row sequence was Sheffield's 2nd 3-run homer of the game ... the Matsui home run was a monster hit ...

the Yankee offense was truly scary once they got rolling ...

of course, on the dark side, can the Yankees count on Randy Johnson or can't they ???

[Telly Savalas]

9. That would have been impressive if they'd done it against...

a major league caliber club.

[OneBlueSky]

10. except that Tampa Bay has been cleaning their clock all year . . .

and the comeback was tempered by an absolutely horrible outing by starter Randy Johnson . . . coming off two great performances, he totally stunk up the place . . .

[Telly Savalas]

13. The fact that Tampa Bay has been cleaning their clock...

speaks more about the Yankmes than it does the D-Rays.

[fryguy]

12. was it "Pick a Fan to Pitch in the Eight Inning" night in TB or something?

Harper was tossing batting practice pitches out there

[cruadin]

14. LOL - "Pick a Fan to Pitch ..."

:D

[rinsd]

17. On that note....

Today on the radio they were talking about two Northern League (indpendent minors) teams that have a very strange promotion.

X-Box nite in which a fan from each team will be selected at random and play MLB 2005 (with customized teams reflecting the real ones) for 2 innings on the Jumbotron and then the real teams taking the field from the 3rd inning on.

[WilliamPitt]

15. Yeah...but they needed a comeback against Tampa Bay

and let Tampa Bay score 11 runs off their pitching. Yarg.

[Bill219]

16. nothing more than a fluke...

Yanks got damn lucky again

crappy playing all night until Nomo got tired and poor Lou had exhausted what is left of his bullpin and had to use a pitcher who was 1-5 up til then. A pitcher who had absolutely no command over his pitching served up nothing but hittable pitches

If the Yanks continue to win the remaining games in this series against TB then it wasn't a fluke..but until then it was a fluke and it was all about the pitching

I guess we will have to wait and see if this a true comeback or just a fluke due to a sucky pitcher and an exhausted pitching staff
