New York Yankees #29: The C&C Baseball Factory, anyone?

WELCOME to the New York Yankees Thread!



~Golden Rule~

Don't Bash The Yankees

~Story of the Thread~

This thread dates back to the 2001 World Series. Before we lost to the Arizona Diamondback - as we watched the Playoffs, DJ's awesome plays included - Yankee fans gathered in the old Request thread to request a Yankee board (how pretentious, huh? ). Of course, we didn't have enough votes to get one so we decided to start our own thread here in the Sports Board.

26 World Championships? We'll try to do better next century. The thing is though, we love them nonetheless...

B now that I know what you were getting at, I liked it cuz I've been floving the Cano&Cabrera love lately. And the way they sandwiched Alex after 500 was almost like a dance.

That was probably the worst start in Wang's career. He'll rebound, but still. Boo.

Something has to be done with Derek's defense though. I know his nagging injuries this year have skewed things, but he was an unmitigated statue tonight.

From previous thread:

Quote:
Back in the early 90s, there was a dance group called The C&C Music Factory. Everyone on YES keeps calling Melky and Cano the C&C Boys. It was lame, I know.
I am even slower. I honestly thought C&C Boys meant Cano & Cabrera, like Maris & Mantle were the M&M boys back in the day.

Today, not so good. I am really worried about Wang. I hope it is not his finger. That blister was ugly a few weeks ago.

You're not slow. That's what the YES folks mean. I think.

It just popped in my head to combine the two, for a title suggestion -- one that obviously isn't working out all that well.

Hey, it's better than Slam Duncan.



To which I say: Michael Kay, are you KIDDING me?

Hi everyone! Thanks for the new thread, Jackie.

What's up with the Yankees nowadays? It's good they're closing in on the Red Sox. I watched the game where Alex and Josh Towers almost had a fight. Did Rocket really hit Rios intentionally?

Yeah...it was retaliation for them hitting Alex in that game, after already having thrown behind him the day before.

He also just got suspended for five games because of it. They really should have just waited a day. Or had Farnsworthless do it.

I think I'm going to magically forget to set the TiFaux for tomorrow's game.

DJ missed like 3 GBs from what I saw (which was less than 4 innings), and Wang was just done from the get go. Hard to watch, but it's bound to happen.

GIAMBI IS BACK!!!!!! And going the other way, nonetheless!

I know. Poor Chien. Oh well, he can't win them all. I feel for him. Oh, I wish I can save enough money to go to New York and watch the All-Star game next year. It's going to cost me, though. So Rocket really did it on purpose. Was it that obvious? I didn't get to see it..

It was definitely obvious. Clemens' command that game up until then was terrific. He wouldn't have missed by that much on accident.

Edit:

Scary: Phil doesn't even have his good FB or command yet and he just went 6 IP 1 ER 4 H 6 K 1BB -- and should have had an even better line if the ump wasn't a bitch and/or Melky and Bobby could communicate.

Great: Joba tonight.

Awesome: Phil and Joba pitching back to back. Best game everrrr.
