Originally posted by Venerable Bede:No idea, but I'll take it! I think that he was initially surprised that Jeter would run, but he should have been moving forward when he caught the ball anyway…

So anyway, me and the lady went to the bar down the street last night, at around 11:45pm to watch the Sox game. the bar was scarcely populated so we got the spot right in front of the flat screen. we were there for 5 minutes tops and some Yankees fan comes over and decides he's going to watch the game with us……
he's pretty happy since his boys just squeaked one out, but the whole time he's routing hardcore against the Red Sox and admittedly hates the Angels too. Going on and on about what a great rivalry it is because even though the Red Sox and the Yankees hate each other, the fans can still have fun together….
right, you sat next to me, pal. he left in the top of the 9th…
he also thought we were crazy for doing shots whenever Pedro beans somembody.

Nathan throwing three innings? I could see why you brought him in to pitch one inning, I questioned the second, and by third I knew it was game over. Series tied 1-1.
Jones thinking Jeter wouldn't go? Has he not seen this guy hustle on every play he makes, even in the all-star game? Unbelievable.

mind you, i think that if braves start having problems anytime during the game, they should bring in smoltz.
Originally posted by vansmack:It's true about Jeter's hustle, and while I can only guess what he was thinking, I'd bet that he thought that the liner was so shallow that hustle or not, Jeter wouldn't chance it.

I'm glad that he was wrong. I think that the Twins are in serious trouble now.

He hadn't thrown 3 innings in over a year and half. Only once this season did he throw more than one inning, and that was in the beginning of the season. His pitch count never reached 50 all season long. He had thrown 11 straight balls, was lucky to get Olerud to swing at ball 4, walked two straight, and Gardenhire lets him face A-Job with two on?
It was understandable to bring him in in the 10th - if you win, you have a day off and don't need him in game 3. But if a gassed closer is your only hope, then how did you win 90+ games all season? He surely didn't pitch in all of those wins.
Great, so if Jones throws the ball home, maybe Jeters out. But if A-Jobs ball doesn't bounce out of the park, the game was already over. Why was he facing A-Job? Why was nobody warming up when your closer started his third inning?
And I'm not picking on Gardenhire exclusively. Dumd moves like this seem to happen a lot when teams play the Yankees.
And I was screaming at Scioscia to bring in Donnelly to face Varitek too. Go with what got you there and manage for this win. If you're content to let K-Rod throw two innings, why not let Donnelly get one fucking out for you? Your starter is at 110 pitches!!!!!

that said. i dont think (or want) the Twins can beat the Yankees anyway. but i dont think they are in any more trouble than they were before game one

then how did you win 90+ games all season?
Chicago 83 79 .512
Cleveland 80 82 .494
Detroit 72 90 .444
Kansas City 58 104 .358
Originally posted by sonickteam2:My guess is Santana might pitch game four in Minnesota. Especially if they lose game 3. I highly doubt that they go to Lohse in game four. Not only has the rest of the league tee'd off on him, but the Yankees just did last week.

like i said, and i think you agreed. . .there was nothing wrong with having nathan START in his 3rd inning of work. nevertheless, nathan should have been pulled earlier, and should not have faced rodriguez. . .you do things differently in the playoffs, how many times has torre used rivera for 3 innings, i wonder?
so what do y'all think about Dale Earnhardt jr losing 25 chapionship points for saying "shit" on tv?

Mulholland or Romero should have started the 12th, or the 4th or 5th starter. Your bullpen is deeper now.
Then again, it's the A's fan telling me that you do things differently in the playoffs. You might want to tell your GM that.

Yankess-Twins series is over. Yankees take one little thing and build on it. You might as well not even try to beat the Yankess in extra innings. It's a lose lose situation, unless you are the home team. Cause no matter how many you score in the top of the inning, they are always gonna come back and beat you in the bottom. Happens everytime, especially in the playoffs.
I hate it – and them – but that's just the way it is. Jeter contineus to build on the the fact that he is my most hated person in all of the world, worse than George Bush. that thing he does at the plate, how I hate that fucker.
