Anyone having anything to do with the catcher position on that team is fucking looney tunes in the extreme.

[Brianish]

OH FUCK YOU

[BucketOBalls]

For those without sound, what was Girardi going on about?

fitting end

A line-drive out. What a fitting way to end it.

what a fucking cock punch of a loss

[Rudy Pemberton]

"THE YANKEES ARE NOW TIED IN THE LOSS COLUMN WITH THE RED SOX FOR FIRST PLACE IN THE AL EAST"- Michael Kay.

[LesterFan]

That sums it up

[bosockboy]

Perfect....

[Mystic Merlin]

If they don't win by 67 runs each of the next two nights, I will consider it a disappointment.

[Harry Hooper]

I hope Salty didn't re--aggravate that left hand injury he had when the Sox got him.

[Rudy Pemberton]

what a fucking cock punch of a loss

Eh, not really.

[rembrat]

The Yankees literally had everything break right for them and they barely won the game and they know it.

[ypioca]

32 team LOB... Fuck me in the neck.

[Foulkey Reese]

The umpires ability to willingly change a game like this is ruining the sport for me.

It's a joke how little accountability they have. They should have to face the media after every game like the players do.

[canderson]

We left the state of Rhode Island on base tonight.

[Brianish]

According the YES, the Yankees have made a statement.

That statement: We will continue to act like put-upon little dickbags, even when the home plate ump is handing us favors all night.

[twoBshorty]

I don't even know what the hell happened there, but I've about had it with guys staggering up the base line in pain after being nailed by pitches. Fuck this.

[Harry Hooper]

Salty swung at the pitch, which seemed to be true in this case, so it should not have been a HBP.

Other than Scott Proctor and Girardi's mother, is there anyone on the face of the earth that respects Girardi as much as Torre?

And to cap it off, Gazoo Fuck with the arm around Mariano like he's some kinda old warhorse. Asshole. I'm glad we drilled him. Take the next two.

Amazing how many fans have left Fenway early tonight. I know the game's taken way too long, but come on.

What a tool, do he and Kay share the same brain?

The dead-center cam that parks are starting to adopt and Pitch FX must terrify the umpires union. Their incompetence has never been quite so apparent.

Oh, thanks, now make me feel guilty for feeling bad about losing a baseball game.

Remember the NY reaction after they beat Lester in game 1 of last series? They were all sucking eachothers dicks and then they lost the series, lol.

[Beomoose]

13 hits and only 2 fucking runs.

So here's a thought. Proactively seek to improve.

And in typical fashion they respond by digging in and sucking harder.

[Rudy's Curve]

Does anyone have a screencap from that called third strike Lowell took a few years ago? It was a rare Mariano strike zone enforced on a righty, and it was the worst call I've ever seen.

[ngruz25]

Ah, lovely. You'd think him jumping out of the way of the ball would have tipped the ump off that it was a little inside. Alas...

[rembrat]

Fuck he is so autistic.

[The_Powa_of_Seiji_Ozawa]

Fuck he is so autistic.

he likes to eat lizards

[LMontro]

Salty didn't take his mask off!!!!

Cervelli can douche it up as much as he wants. Just don't act surprised when you get thrown at.

[LeoCarrillo]

Offhand thought, but was there even one throw over to first tonight?

I swear, I don't remember even one. Had to be a few.

Lackey definitely threw over at least once when Granderson was on.

I feel the same way. Umpires continually get worse with no repercussions. The automated strike zone cannot come soon enough.

[nazz45]

I'd like to nominate this zone for worst of the year, but sadly it probably doesn't even crack the top 1,000.

[Rudy's Curve]

If only that was the only injustice that night:

[LesterFan]

Mike Lowell call

[Brianish]

I'm against robot umpiring because I'm ok with pitches that look like strikes getting called strikes, even if they're not. Fooling the ump is a legitimate part of the game for me.

But Jesus, nights like this really shake my dedication. None of those things looked remotely like a strike. Players train for years to operate with the set strike zone, and they get it right. They have to, because there are consequences to getting it wrong. They make outs, they lose games. There are no such consequences for umpires. Rapuano fucks up an entire game, takes a team's legs out from under it? Nbd. He probably goes home, has a beer, pats himself on the back.

Would we have won with a decent umpire tonight? Maybe not. Lackey sucked, and the rest of the team made its share of mistakes. But we'll damn sure never know now.

[ShaneTrot]

The problem is widespread it has both hurt and helped the Sox this year. Maybe their suckitude evens out over the year.

I keep telling myself that Sox would have lost even if Lowrie had reached, but what sucks is that we never got a chance to find out how that ab should have gone. Something has to be done about the umps, but as long as MLB has a corpse for a commish, I'm not holding my breath.

[Foulkey Reese]

BTW I'm not blaming the umps for the loss. The Sox stranded 100000 runners and deserved to lose.

I just think that giving the best closer in history extra help is ridiculous. He's bowling with bumpers.

[Rudy Pemberton]

Cervelli's career OPS vs the Sox, in 54 PA's is 1030, about 400 points better than vs. the rest of the league. shit.

[scottyno]

I count 13 pink triangles outside the zone and 1 square, wonderful

They did strand quite a few runners, but some of those runners should have been on with one out, not two...or no outs..etc. In addition it's a lot harder to get clutch hits when you're protecting a strikezone 10" wider than it should be..and the difference of hitting in a pitcher's count vs hitting from behind.

The ump changed the game to the point where noone knows what the outcome would have been.
