Can TBS coverage get anymore biased?

I watch the game on mute then turn to mlb tv afterwards. I say start cc on short rest, he had a weeks rest in his first start and got treated like a red headed stepchild. I like how they are now underscoring tommy hunter as being a scrub. Aj vs tommy, i like our odds.Especially if AJ has to rely on his fastball. The best part about tonights game was watching all those fair weather yankees fans leaving the park early. How did aj do in the alds?

I was going to mention the early 'exodus' as well. I guess those fans really have faith in their Yankees?!?!

It was like watching Game 5 in Tampa all over again with how empty the seats were in the bottom of the 9th. I wish I ad that kind of money to buy not JUST a ticket to a game at Yankee Stadium, but a ticket to the LCS and be able to just give up on my team and leave early.

When I still lived in the D/FW area (Garland) going to the Rangers games, and even since I've been here in Colorado going to the Rockies games, I NEVER leave early just because my team is behind. I've seen too many amazing comebacks as well as many not so happy endings, but I got every $$ worth.

In 1995 at the Rockies Home Opener - the 1st 'Official' game at Coors Field after the Regular MLB players came back, I sat through 14 innings in cold ass weather with rain and sleet and was rewarded with Dante Bichette's 14th inning Walk Off blast - and the Blake Street Bombers were born.

I don't remember seeing The Ballpark @ Arlington emptying out when the Rangers were down to the Rays, but maybe the Rangers fans actually appreciate getting to see their boys play in October where many Yankees fans feel that they are OWED the Post Season experience because they have become spoiled. Just my .02, but I think there is some credence to it.

Let's see if the Rangers truly are the 'Road Warriors' and can keep the streak alive - 4 straight Post Season road wins.

Whats the point in staying at the game when your team is down by 8 runs(your fans would do the same if down by 8). Yes i would have left early also to bet traffic because i live three hours away and im not close to being a fair weather fan. I'm going to the game tonight and im worried one bit. The yankees are known for letting ok pitchers pitch like their a hall of famer and also AJ is going tonight.

P.S
You talk about fair weather fans, yet your fans only started showing up when you actually began winning games.

For those of you who don't live in the New York area or who have not traveled here recently. If you drive to the game if you stay to the end you are facing utter gridlock and a very long time to just get out of the lot and onto the parkway to get out of the Bronx. When one works the next day and the game is going to end after 11pm, one does not want to sit in traffic until 2 am. It is the same at Jets, Giants and Mets games. Once the outcome appears certain everyone leaves to beat the traffic. No team is coming back down 8-0 in the 9th after being 2 hit all day.

So...pro-Yankees bias ISN'T limited to the Eastern Sports Programming Network...

People have talked about other teams fans being fair weather and or bandwagon jumpers. Well it appears the $pankees fans are the same way.

The bottom of the ninth was only a few minutes long.

I believe someone ragged on the Rays fans for leaving early. Well here in the Great () City of New York you have the same thing.

I believe it is the same everywhere. Fans will leave early if their team is getting $panked !

Oh BTW, CC got his a$$ $panked in Game 1! Lucky for him & the $pankees, the Rangers bullpen sucked in Game 1.

So I am not sure why everyone thinks he will be some kind of savior???

Remember a few years back when CC was Brewer? CC came back to pitch on short rest in the playoffs and got $panked.

Thanks for having seen the same game as me... all I heard from my friends was how the Yankees spanked Texas in Game One.

I think if Washington hadn't overmanaged and had allowed CJ a chance to pitch out of it - he gave up a HR and a dbl and was lifted with a 5 run lead - it might have turned out differently. On top of that, he kind of rushed his guys in the Bullpen to get ready and pitch and all and I think that just added to the sucking. Hell, he burned two pitchers that he let throw ONE pitch each??!?!

Anyway, tonight should be interesting to see what Hunter brings to his 1st start in Yankee stadium and which AJ shows up for the Yankees.

Not the Mets...no one goes to the games

I do know it was fun watching cliff lee shut down the 200 million dollar payroll. ONe decent hit all night from one of the best linups in the league. How did aj pitch in the alds? lol
