THE final game at Yankee Stadium. Ever. Period. Tonight, at 8:05, on ESPN.

Ph_425561_medium Ph_120485_medium

W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2008 - Chris Waters 3-3 9 9 1 1 0 0 53.0 55 30 28 6 23 25 4.75 1.47

W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2008 - Andy Pettitte 13-14 32 32 0 0 0 0 199.0 226 109 101 19 54 155 4.57 1.41

 

I suppose it's rather fitting that a tired, aging, worn-out Andy Pettitte will close the show at Yankee Stadium. Like the team he represents, he was once a reliable October staple, a big-game pitcher that made his presence felt in crunch time. The Yankees are out of gas. Pettitte appears to be, though he keeps going out there and doing what he can.

While Joe Torre's Dodgers head to the playoffs, Joe Girardi's Yankees limp home.

Enjoy the game -- seriously. It IS Yankee Stadium, love it or hate it.

Would love the O's to be the last team to win at that shit hole

Pros:
Waters is on his game lately
Pettite is off his game lately

Cons:
It is Sunday. Sundays are Oriole Kryptonite
Probably wont be much Os support in the stands
Pettite has done pretty well vs Os this year

I’m real curious about the O’s lineup today. Who gets to play?

Writing is God's way of showing you how sloppy your thinking is.

too bad the yankees are better than the dodgers

Oh well. Whatever.

Oh, and Pettite hasn’t just done well against the O’s this year. He kills the O’s for his career, doesn’t he?

Not since Manny showed up

Check the record post Man-Ram.

I wish Dave would play

Razor and Luke. Just to go for the win.

Also, a real starting pitcher.

You're assuming...

we have a real starting pitcher available.

Razor is starting.

And Chris Waters is the closest thing to a real starter we have that can go tonight.

I think David Wells was drunk off his ass running onto the field.

8:15 first pitch, apparently

ESPN needs to show football highlights that have been 6 times already first.

so just out of curiosity, as I've just turned the "festivities" on....

…has there been any mention whatsoever of the Orioles?

Not that I expect it….not that the O’s even deserve it….but I’m just curious

by Chanumas on Sep 21, 2008 8:17 PM EDT   0 recs

Not so much.

Too bad, considering the Yankees owe their vast wealth to a Baltimore kid.

The Ravens game was fun.

People love Flacco and early on Heap was hearing the boo birds.

Wanted to watch it

but both CBS stations that I get are PA-based, so it was Pittsburgh-Philly for me…

I live in MoCo and get the same trash, the only way that I can see the game is either a sports bar or actually going.

But I just feel that CBS would get more viewers showing the Ravens games rather than an Eagles/Steelers game.

Theoretically

They wouldn’t resume the game as neither team is in contention.

By the time they got around the resuming it the Yankees would be out.

I was at the game yesterday

And before the game John Sterling was up on the big screen and he referred to Yankee Stadium as “the most important sports venue in the history of the world.” NO JOKE. I laughed my ass off and we spent the rest of the game referring to everything Yankee related as the most important whatever in the history of the world.
