“A-Rod has hit eight of his nine homers at Yankee Stadium. Jeter has hit seven of his nine homers there, Damon has hit 10 of his 14 there, and Teixeira’s has hit 13 of his 20 homers there.”
I don’t understand why mlb would let them build a stadium that is clearly designed to boost offensive numbers. Hmmm…A-Fraud is projected to make a run for the HR record and now he gets an artificial boost by playing in a stadium designed to be a launching pad. How is that in any different from players using steroids as far as the integrity of records are concerned?

This is a script in the making. A-Rod slumping. Yankees stinking. Ump misses call. Girardi tossed. Backup catcher homers to tie game and fire team up. Slumping A-Rod to the plate with the sacks loaded. Does he break out with a monster slam?
Geez, like the ‘96 World Series lol

Let’s see if Bennett is ready to take the next step and become one of the guys that Cox can depen on.
The answer is no. The answer was no yesterday. The answer was no last week. The answer will be no tomorrow.

I don’t know what that was…ESPN keeps saying “He finally caught up to the fastball”….it was straight as hell…I don’t see how it was a slider, but he should’ve thrown in the dirt at least twice. Didn’t throw A-Rod anything but fastballs. Terrible.

That was a good idea. Take out Medlen to bring in Bennett. Yet again, Bennett’s ERA goes nowhere, but he allows more runners to score.

0-2 fastball right down the middle. Unreal.
Just saw another replay. Freaking fastball down the middle on an 0-2 pitch. MORON.
That’s the ballgame there.
That is a classic example of why Bennett’s 3.13 ERA is misleading. Dude has allowed so many “inherited” runners to score. He wont get credited with those 2 runn (Medlen will).
Bennett is the ABSOLUTE WRONG GUY to bring into the game with runners on base. Dude has allowed 66 base runners in 33 innings pitched.
DAMN.

Jeff Bennett is nothing but a charity case. He occupies a spot on this roster because Cox considers him one of his BOYS. Ya know, guys with no business on a ML roster but get trotted out in tight situations. Sheesh
I’m out, later.

Okay we throw 23 scoreless innings…..you expect Medlen to give up something because he hasn’t pitched in 10 days….but when you get used as much as Bennett you need to learn how to effin pitch.
They need to make Medlen the MR guy and Bennett the long relief…and ship him out when Buddy comes back…..I rather not see Bennett for 10 days than Medlen!!!!!!!!!!

I pin this one on Joba’s fat ass for taking out our starter, DOB and Chip for jinxing what was a well pitched game up until the 6th, and whoever is in charge of Jeff Bennett having a job that doesn’t require him to say “do you want fries with that?”

I thought we were going to get out of that.
It’s only three runs for crying out loud.
It’s all because of KK. This game would probably be over by now. They get lucky but SportsCenter won’t bother mentioning that they finally scored after he left the game.
Medlen’s still a rookie. What are you gunna do?
Let’s go Braves.
