Sparky, Granderson hustled home on that Zobrist error to start the smokescreen early on........then Tex bombed a slam for more theater.........sucked all of us dopes in..........they figured they'd let Tampa score 8 runs after the 7th, to "make it look good".........you really are a moron

What really sold that was the fact that you were the first post on the page. I can't make the mistake by scrowling down too much.
As a Red Sox fan (of sorts - any emotional 'distraught' I felt at their failure this past day was gone 5 mins after the fact of it happening, so thats the context of my own use of the word fan) my .02 can be summarised by responding to 3 posts...
Oh, and they would get 2 outs in the 9th, then hope DAN JOHNSON can hit a homerun........please people
Why didn't they just let Price mow them down? the Yankees didn't want to appear to have laid down like a bitch, esp. to a potential future playoff opponent. That said, they can't pick and choose when they hit grand slams. In wanting to make sure they were seen to put in an effort this past day, meant they at least had to have the intention to put a few runs on the board to make it look like they at least forced Tampa to fight for their win. Who is to say Tex wasn't simply trying to hit a single or double, and got more of the ball than he either planned or wanted?
As for the observation about the 9th inning homer, well at THAT point the Yankees had obviously said to Tampa, it's on you now - are you good enough to beat us: we've given you walked in runs, we've given you hit-by-pitch runs, we've kept in shitty pitchers past their time-to-pull-him date, we've done all we can and still you keep fucking up. So now we'll feed you meatballs and if you can't do it off those, tough luck. Well, one guy latched onto a meatball. At that point Girardi inserted the human gas-can called Scott Proctor, and that was all she wrote (in extras they even gifted the Rays with an out at home w/an out still to give re: a possible future sacrificed in run).
This is the cutting observation: the Yankees couldn't close out a 7-0 lead with 2 innings to go IF THEY REALLY WANTED TO? Only someone smoking the best drugs money can buy could believe that. And the fact of it's truth is witnessed in the way the 8th played out. Ayala - who had just entered the game as a reliever - walks in a run, then hits the very next batter to gift in another run, and he's not pulled with the bases still loaded and 0 outs? Um, let see, 99.9% of all managers in existence would realise the guy fucking up their effort to win is clearly showing no control, and that a new arm is needed (the lead is down to 5 runs - not 8-10-12+, and the opposition are just 1 hit away from being 1 down with still 0 outs, so it's not like the margin of error was still so great that a serious manager could afford to risk the guy currently in giving up a grand slam, or even simply another hit). What we saw was managing designed to give the opposition every chance in the world to win. Tampa was a capable enough team to take that chance (but still bad enough to not take the lead in the same inning - Ayala was still kept in after the 3 run shot that made it 6-7, and immediately gave up another hit and still wasn't pulled. He was being kept in to give the Rays every chance in the world to take the lead that inning, but Damon fucked up).
Baltimore respected the game, Philly respected the game, Houston simply sucks to much to have put up 3 really competitive efforts in their series (they won game 1, and were leading late in game 2). The Yankees, on the other hand...
Became Obvious? You mean before or after they brought in 3 lefty pitchers on 3 different occasions to face another lefty? Or how about when Granderson stole in the 2nd? Or Dickerson in the 4th? Or what about Nunez stealing a base? How about when Dickerson ran in the 9th or 10th inning on a hit and run and advanced to 3rd?
Of course it would be a New Yorker that can't handle the truth. Let's see with a 7 - 0 fucking lead with only six outs needed, your saying they couldn't put this team away. GIVE ME A FUCKIN BREAK.
When was the last time your Yankee's blew a lead like this in a game of this importance? Without doing the research I would say probably never. Get a fucking clue moron, the only idiot is you.

You realize you're talking as if this game was acutally important to the Yankees. The Yankees' clinched their AL East title last Wednesday...this game meant nothing to them
You also realize that Girardi said, BEFORE the game, that the Yankees weren't using Soriano, Robertson and Mariano, right? If they use those guys...they don't lose this game.
The fact that you think this was a game of importance for the Yankees make you a fool.
The Yankees weren't trying to win...but they weren't trying to lose. They were trying to win with the guys they put out there.
You keep being a fool...and I'll go and watch some important playoff games. You know...the ones where 7 of the 11 pitchers used last night won't even be on the roster like they were during the UNIMPORTANT GAMES.
To make you say what you just did and eliminate doubt.
If it's a thread about fixes or fairies...........you KNOW this dumbfucks gonna be here........... 
Costos Rostos- so out of touch with reality that he might as well be a cartoon......................
Do you guys know how many people it would people would have to be involved in fixes?
Do you know how you would have to trust that not 1 of these people ever open their mouths?
Do you know how much money most professional athletes make?
Do you know how much money it would take to make it worth their while?
Do you know many bookies taking millions and billions of dollar bets from single individuals?
Do you know how obvious and noticable anybody trying to put these bets in not on the streets would be?
Dear Covers-
please implement the automatic ban buttom for any more of this nonsense

What's funny is nobody is mentioning the conversation Dan Johnson had with the Yankees catcher AND the umpire while walking up to, and while standing at the plate.
The cameras were all over the conversation for a good 3 seconds till they panned away...I immediatly said to myself "why and what would they be talking about?"...it wasn't a hey how ya doing thing, it was a conversation that made me sit an wonder. Some guy last night posted something right away on it and I commented. It was interesting he saw it too, saying he even pointed it out to his wife. I'm just saying, a pinch hitter who hasn't hit a homerun since April, coming off the bench where someone on that bench probably got a phone call with a meatball on the other end, decided to send Johnson in because he does have power, however was hurt all yr. The first pitch was a breaking ball that was more like BP practice. So Johnson got his look at his pitch. The next two were fastballs outside and then HOLY MOLY, same 87 mph pitch down the pipe and miraculously it goes over the wall. I absolutly, 100% was not A BIT surprised it happened. I had that immediate feeling. Regardless of what happened in the prior innings. When I saw Johnson, the catcher AND UMPIRE talking, I knew something was up....FISHY FISHY....and I am NOT someone who even really cares about this at all. IT WAS SO OBVIOUS IMO THO
