So with 2 outs, Abreu steals second, only he is out, but called safe, which Kay admits, but just glosses over it ... then Nieves singles, Abreu scores, and he says nothing about how the Yankees had a call go in their favor which lead to a run ... even after babbling for 5 minutes before about all the games the umps have cost the Yanks earlier ... god he sucks
Also, the American Yankees have a meeting with Bud Selig this week TO TALK ABOUT HOW THE UMPIRES HAVE BEEN SCREWING THEM.
I'm sorry peoples, this happens to everyone, this is just sour grapes. Maybe if the Yankees pitched and hit better they would win more.
Even though Mussina does look good today

Even though Mussina does look good today The bad calls that have gone in the Yankees favor have all been bang-bang plays that without the use of HD slow-mo replays could have gone either way in the moment. However, in the last 2 weeks at Yankee Stadium the Yankees have had 3 opposing runners called safe at 2nd base when the runners were clearly out by at LEAST 6 feet, as well as having AWFUL home plate umpires. Balls and strikes are less of a concern because you can't really argue even though some plays have been bad, but the base umpires need to get on the ball here, you can't blow a call that bad when the runner is out/safe by 6 feet. |

Wait, so your saying that replay should only be used on calls AGAINST the Yankees, but when Abreu was safe, they should just let it stand as is?
Interesting, so the Yankees would control who/what gets reviwed.
Ingenious! I think Hitler had a system just like that, its called Nazism

I think Hitler had a system just like that, its called Nazism No penis cake, I didn't say anything about replays, I said that when a bad call goes in favor of the Yankees its always too close and could have gone either way and we can only criticize the call because of the HD replays they show on TV, those calls are too close for an umpire to make....when a bad call goes against the Yankees the runner is clearly out by 20 feet. |

Got cha, its getting clearer and clearer now. Thanks Lorenzo, I guess Umps usually make mistakes when they are out by 6-20ft (the area in which it keeps increasing), but Abreu who was clearly out, was too close to call.
I havent seen a runner be out by 6 feet since Wille Mays Hayes in Major League, boy, I need to watch my YES and see more Yankees flopping 20 ft before the bag. Sure would make me chuckle. hehehe

It was bang-bang...it was a bad call, but it was a bad call by a fraction of a half of a second. And Ralpho,....this runner was called SAFE, and it was the runner which scored the winning run and caused the Yankees to lose.  |

A call finally went our way, give it a rest. If the same thing was happening to Boston, you know you'd be on here complaining, too.

I am obviously not taken this debate seriously, my point was and still is: IT HAPPENS TO EVERY TEAM.
I posted a picture from 2000 I think where that missed call cost the Red Sox the game IN THE PLAYOFFS.
It happens, calls go both ways, arguing about the umps is like arguing about the weather. Its gonna happen no matter what.
There is no conspiracy against the Yankees, Jesus this isnt Communist Russia. Stuff like this happens both ways. S

S I know man, I understand...It's just so frustrating. I don't mind losing, I really don't. If a team can beat us, props to them. I just hate losing because of something as ridiculous as a call where the runner was out by 6 feet and we should have been out of the inning or lose a game on a called strike 3 that was 3 feet off the plate. And down 11.5 games, panicking and struggling to try and make up ground, these bad calls hurt even more because every loss could be the one that kills our season. The Red Sox don't have to worry about this stuff, their closest division rival is 11 games behind them, but we do have to worry about this stuff and the bad calls stick out more when you are struggling to climb out of a hole, rather then when you have an almost un-blowable cushion. |

Red Sox can still blow it, we have fragile pitchers and a manager who pitches Papelbon like theres a save opp every night.
At least the Yankees are winning today

Yankees just blew it. Looks like we're losing via 2 walks with the bases loaded. At least we keep coming up with original ways to suck.

Scott Proctor's 2006 magic has worn off OH MY GOD LORENZOS A PROPHET! |

Scott Proctor's 2006 magic has worn off OH MY GOD LORENZOS A PROPHET! That's because I'm smart enough to look beyond the stats and realize that Scott Proctor is a horrible pitcher. WOJC looks at the 2.92 ERA and the no runs given up in Proctors last 10.2 innings before today...and those stats look good, however they were all in games where he had a HUGE lead to work with or the Yankees ended up losing the game anyway. Scott Proctor does NOT come in and perform well in any BIG situations. He can come in and lower his ERA in games where the Yankees are winning or losing by 5+ runs, but he's not going to hold a tight lead or keep a game tied in a big spot. Proctors last appearances have happened in games where the Yankees: won (5-2), (5-0), (8-2), (6-2), (6-2) lost (0-3), (1-4), (2-3), (6-10) None of those are close games where he came in and was amazing and held 1 run leads and contributed to a win....those are games that he came into blow outs and had no pressure, or came into games where we were losing. Today, he comes in with a 1 run lead, 1 out and a man on 1st and he can't record an out, gives up a double, and 3 walks and walks in 2 runs and now we are in danger of losing. |

Anyone think Ryan Braun is worth using my #1 waiver wire priority on in one of my leagues? He's already killing the ball and he's only been up for two days...

Proctor couldn't have struggled because the idiot manager has started using him every  ing game again, and practically ignoring the fact that Brian Bruney exists, right?... Naaaah... impossible. |
