Reason #500978 Why Jonathan Papelbon is a Complete Douche
It's also another reason to have that much more respect for a guy like Mariano Rivera. I understand why Papelbon would be angry, but don't be such an idiot. Of course someone like that will never learn. It really stings much worse when you serve up a homerun ball to a back-up catcher...ouch! My favorite quote of the article?
"He knew I was shooting him, and he didn't say a word," Causi said. "A true champion realizes you got to take the good with the bad." Talking about Mariano Rivera blowing a save earlier in the season against the rival Red Sox.
Anyway, enough about the idiots in baseball. Onto the Yankees! They've won 15 of their last 19 games, including taking 3 out of the 4 in Cleveland while battling rain, disgusting insects called midges, and flocks of seagulls. If I was a fan, I would run for cover in fear that the midges would attack me and eat the flesh off of me, and that the seagulls would poop all over me. As someone said on the 161st and River site, Cleveland is a landfill! Yesterday's game was a great one. Joba pitched a career high 8 innings, giving up 4 hits and only 2 runs, while striking out 5. He finally got over his 1st inning problems and was hitting 94-95 in the first inning. By the 7th and 8th innings, he was hitting 97! This is the Joba we all know and love. Because of that showing, he really should go into the bullpen....Hahaha! *Sarcasm*
Other game notes:
-Jeter collected his 2600th hit in yesterday's game. He needs to score one more run to hit 1500. Just amazing, those numbers.
-The Yankees drew a season-high 11 walks from the Cleveland pitchers, including 8 over two innings. They really could've made their pitchers pay and the game could've been a blowout, but they wasted a few opportunities, but made it count in the 7th inning.
-The Yanks set a new MLB record for playing 18 consecutive games without an error! They beat the previous record of 17 games set by the Red Sox in 2006. They are 14-4 in this stretch of errorless games.
-Joba made a webgem play during the 5th inning. The Indians had two runners on with no outs when Shoppach bunted. The ball popped up in between homeplate and 3rd base and Joba charged toward it. Like everyone else, I was expecting it to fall and have the bases be loaded. However, Joba dove and literally was suspended in the air for a few seconds before bellyflopping and somehow catching the ball. Jorge ran towards him, pointing towards second where Garko had strayed a little too far from the bag. Joba made the throw to complete the doubleplay. He followed the play with a fist pump and cheer. Maybe Aubrey Huff should do that the next time he catches a bunt popup."It looked like he was going into a swimming pool," said Andy Pettitte, who led the guffaws from the Yankees' bench.

The Yankees will hopefully continue with their great pitching, defense, and offense as they return home to face the 1st place Rangers followed by the Rays. Let's go Yanks!!!
