Clemens just struck out 3 in a row and the Yanks managed a double steal now! that's the first time I see they do something exciting in a while.

-Yanks win their 5th in a row!

-Now only 2 games below .500 at 29-31

-Clemens throws up some good numbers in his first start: 6 innings, 5 hits, 3 runs, 2 BB, 7 SO, 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA

-Wow, Farnsworth actually pitches an entire inning without giving up a run

-Abreu goes 2-for-4 (with a RBI), raising his average to .260

-Cano goes 3-for-5 (with a RBI), raising his average to .275

Wow, this one is teeming with sarcasm.

Once again, I implore everyone to show a little class. Please respect your fellow posters. Keep sports clean.

To all the Boston fans out there, please don't be naive enough to think there weren't Red Sox fans praying Clemens would fall flat on his face today

A public service announcement??

and its naive enough for the rest of us to think that some Yank fans are outright annoying fanboys. I'm not saying who EXACTLY....but don't be naive!

Once again, I don't want this thread shut down. So we can all stop bickering.

Clemens did fine for his first start. He did have issues locating, but that will come with time, considering this is essentially the equivalent of a "regular" starter's third or fourth Spring Training start.

In retrospect, I am glad though that he started against the Bucs. I don't think some of the mistakes he laid would have been missed by the Red Sox, or even the White Sox. This game allowed him to feel his way through, and he delivered some nice strikeout pitches.

Let's hope they keep this going. Clippard reminds me of a younger Mike Mussina, and has a really nice curveball. He seems to be adjusting well to pitching on the major league level.

I do agree with you on Clemens. Better to rough it out on the meaningless Bucs than the very pressured BoSox game.

As for the bickering, I must say alot of it recently happened without my participation. Just a note of fact!

I'm only saying, they're out there too. So I'm not the only "horrible" fan out there who takes pleasure in seeing my arch nemesis fall flat on their face.

Thanks for the compliment ronnie. Yes, I am a diehard fanboy!

-6th win in a row, 3rd straight series the Yankees have won

-Only 1 game below .500, 30-31

-A-Rod hits his 23rd and 24th home runs of the season

-Abreu goes 4-for-4 with 3 RBIs

Arod will win yet another MVP this year!!

But of course...the guy was the anti-Christ a few months ago.

Hey, he's coming through now. THIS is the way A-Rod should have been playing while he was in New York. Unfortunately, it's taken him his 4th season in pinsripes to play this well but I'm happy for him. He deserves it.

And yes DS, he will win his 3rd MVP this year

I'm sorry, you're going to have to speak up.

Man you and ronnie, a regular duo. Crack me up every time

Went to the game today. What a great game!! We had terrific seats, and the Yankees really came through!! We took photos and I will post them when I get a chance.

Although it's a huge pain in the butt to drive there (mass transit is really the only way to go), nothing beats the experience of seeing the game at the stadium.

Wow SB, I'm so jealous. A pretty cool day too so you didn't sweat yourself to death. Whereabouts do you live that it take's so long to get there?

I12, it's not that I live that far, it's that the traffic is a bitch. It took us 20 minutes to get to the GWB, and then an hour and ten minutes to get into the stadium.

I tried to post some of the photos I took, but they're too large. If someone could tell me what to do, I will do it so that I can add them.

Edited to Add: Read in the paper this morning that Clippard was looking forward to learning from Clemens, and that he wants to listen and learn. The quote from Clippard was, "I'm going to be all ears." My husband now calls him "Clippard the Big-Eared Pitcher" ala "Clifford the Big Red Dog".

Try this link SB, Image Shack , it'll let you format the size and such. Hope it helps

Thanks, I12. Hope this worked OK.

Here's ARod and Abreu returning to home plate after ARod's 2nd Home Run of the game!!

I feel bad for the honestly decent diehard fanboys who want to stop any association with the rotten eggs.

Niiiiiice SB [/Borat] How close were your seats?

Me too, but I think the people around here know that SB, DJ and the other Yankee fans are the "right" Yankee fans. I'm the only "rotten egg"

We were in the Loge box seats. Not too bad at all.

Here's another. Anyone wonder why this pic is one of my favorites?? [img][/img]

Look at the ass on that umpire.....

Sounds like it would be a good night for Mr. Babe to put on his Jeter mask and uniform and wait in the bedroom.

Well, since you seem impressed, here's another for you, DMC.

How many rows up are they?
