mortensen would’ve given up the game winner…he stinks

WHO ARE YOU???? Shut up and go to the minors silly

3 games 6 SCORELESS innings, the guy deserves to be pissed-off, it was his chance to prove something to management.

pre season, extra innings….please     and when mortenson’s career shows up , let me know….go booby v !

Yanks should of announced out of players long before he made it to the mound

The Red Sox should walk off after the first inning. Or even better, kick some Yankee tail this year!
Go BoSox!!

Why do writers try to stir things up. Your headline is way over stated.

Get over it kid…getting pissed at the Yankees will not endear you enough to land you a roster spot! Just pitch and shut up…

“It’s my chance to show them I can kind of do it.”

Aim higher, Clayton, aim higher.

im sooo tired of hearing nicknames….merloni ur not on the team anymore,  tek this salty that, schill this……..    ur playing days are over,  been over,  so PLEASE NO MORE NICKNAMES, IT sounds stoopid!!!!

Who is Mortensen anyway? And who really cares what he thinks? Typical Valentine stirring the pot

 Sounds like a miserable Yankee fan… sulking because his bullpen gave up 4 runs!!

Should have kept him based on what I saw. Trust me folks, I have been a sox fan since. 1948 and this team has more holes in it than Swiss cheese and they are going nowhere. There is commander Valentine and grades based on last years stats. No unity. Do they still go home in separate cabs?

Obviously there are few real Red Sox fans who bother to post on this board.  Just negative nellies, frustrated NY frontrunners, frauds and phonies. Last spring…with pretty much the same team…folks from all over were projecting this same club to be in the World Series…the same geniuses now peg them for last place.  Beyond idiotic.

they pick them this year not to win it all cuz the teams character is obvious now. theyre all spoiled entitled selfish players. their true colors came out last year. beckett wont change , gonzalez said he’d act the same this year as he did last year, he even complained about late sunday night games….r   u kidding me, with the contract he got he complains about not enough rest.. please!!!!   spoiled  and selfish……. watch and learn

The Red sox had 7 of there starting player’s in the game, The Yankees had only 2 of there starter’s in the game. All their pitcher’s in the game other then wade were minors league players and still the sox did nothing. They are horrible, they have no righthanded power at all. Youk looks old and beat up already, What a pile of dogsh–t the Sox are

 Yo, Miguella, You got ESP & ESPN ? How the heel do you know what he would have done you dummy. The MAN’S LIVING is on the line, not your food stamps ! Show some compassion you flaming idiot.  You can’t see beyond your nose, that’s for sure.

 Another NYDummy shoots his wod of know-nothings.

 Sully65, It’s even more than that–the evils should have considered the fans who spent good $$ for over-priced tix, $4/gal gas; food; and anything else to see an ending to “a game.” Not a meaningless game–a GAME. That pitcher’s means to raise a family, etc. Another proof that far too many teams forget the FANs. I mean it’s not they are doing heavy lifting or that exciting job of being a “Walmart Greeter.” What happened at the end of that game really pi$$s me off–even more against the damn yankmees !

 Yo GaryR–you shut the hell up you big dumb “B” !!!!!!  the man wanted to pitch !
He didn’t the chance because the yank-mees didn’t to drive home in the dark or miss HAPPY HOUR.  

 Another POSITIVE THINKER ! Go rent the  dvd  “the SECRET”  It can happen this year. Seems most of the “holes” you mention are not just on this, or any other team, they are in your and all the other nay-sayers.

Hey Don, here’s the thing – it’s not Girardi’s job to worry about Red Sox pitchers. He has his own pitchers to worry about. It was past 10:00 and the yankees had a 2+ hour drive to get home before a split-squad double header at 1:05 the following day. Why would Girardi burn through even more pitchers (minor leaguers who have no chance at making the team, mind you) and push the game even further into the night while his starters lose sleep before games the following day? Do you think it makes sense for Girardi to do that to his players so one sox pitcher can throw another spring training inning (he was cut the following day, btw – how much could have possibly have impressed Bobby V?). Put yourself in Girardi’s shoes and you’ll see it was the only reasonable move.

Oh, and let’s talk about the fans. First of all, they got 9 innings of pre-season exhibition baseball, nobody has a right to complain. Second of all, what about the fans at the yankee games the following day? Extending that game may have meant they would have seen tired, worn-out, and ineffective players. WHY DON’T YOU CARE ABOUT THE FANs!?

 11:20 AM SAT.

Nip, Let’s begin by stating I respect your opinion! Allow me to point out a few angles you have not considered..OK ?

#1: We’re talking “Baseball. !”
where No one is getting checked into the boards or ducking 90+mph
slapshots or having to skate & stop on a dime etc. etc.  It’s NOT
football where guys are taking pot-shots at your knees even during
practices to earn a roster spot. It’s nowhere like B-ball where mostly
200+lb. giants are courted as gods by the uneducated of the country-oh
forgive me-the “educated” will use basketball to gain FREE education,
but, that’s for another day.

BASEBALL and a 2 hr bussride: YOU, Nip, paint that as such a physical challenge to all those poor underpaid premadonna yankees.  My hemorrhoids bleed for them !

 OMG, they would have to be awake
& at the park by 11am for the following day’s split-squard and in
tip-top shape no less. OMG, what a challenge as compared to our beloved
troups around the globe. OMG, Nip, a baseball player who has doctors,
trainers, whirlpools, meds and MORE AT HIS DISPOSAL all w/o having to
worry about his co-pay +/or HMO card. All that while most of us FANS
have to skimp & save & sacrifice to get by paycheck-to-paycheck
or worse UNemployment ck-to-ck let alone fret doctor’s visits !  My God,
those ballplayers WHO HAVE guarantee contracts, have it so very tough. 
Weather , that pitcher, or any other player for that matter, gets cut
the very next day, is NOT for YOU or anyone else, to judge his
performance by.

HE DESERVED A CHANCE to SHOW HIS
TALENTS just as you or I would deserve another chance any day in LIFE.  A
chance ! That chance to live the dream of being a  big league baseball
player in the “show.”

   I don’t blame Giraldi alone,
yet, b-4 pulling his band of  ‘pu$$ys’  he could have discussed an
amiable end w/ the ups AND Bobby V.  What,,,is Giraldi blind ? he didn’t
see the Sox pitcher in the pen / Is 10PM too freakin’ late for new
yorkers ‘vacationing’ in Fl ??  Oh yea,  what about the FANS who PAY for
their inflated contracts ??

If they r too damn tired the next day, have an extra cup of late` or pop a NoDoz w/ their steak-n-eggs breakfast !!

  Nip stated “Why would Girardi burn through
even more pitchers (minor leaguers who have no chance at making the
team, mind you) and push the game even further into the night while his
starters lose sleep before games the following day?”

      Shirely, you joke (&
iAM  calling you Shirely).  They will lose sleep ?? Burn another pitcher
?  Oh poor babys again, my hemorrhoids bleed for thee & them. They r
baseball players NOT factory workers or even bank tellers whose job can
be lost in a moment’s concentration loss OR worse, if they don’t hound
their customers to open new accounts so said bank can squeeze them w/
more add-ons. Ask anyone who works for wells fagarro (I’m misspelling to
avoid a bleep here.) !!!

  Nip: “Put yourself
in Girardi’s shoes and you’ll see it was the only reasonable move.”

I can’t & won’t ! “G” is a puppeteer for yankmee ownership & a card carrying member of the good-ol-boy’s baseball club.  his only sign of compassion is for his team period. i can but will not go on . . .

   
I guess the reasons for my becoming inflamed over this callus baseball
thing is because the one AMERICAN pastime, needed by most all AMERICANS
to take our minds off our everyday trials, tribulations & daily grief…baseball has become HEARTLESS to us regular-Joe FANS.  I can only fallback on my memories of my Dad taking me to see a Sox-Yankee doubleheader
in 1967. The 2nd game went 22 innings ! Sox lost after winning the 1st
game yet, it was a GREAT experience for this 16yr old to have seen my
team play as well as having had “YAZ’ , Phill Rizzutto; Joe Garagiolla
& Ellie Howard pose for  pics for me & my (Ct.)high school newspaper never asking to get paid for them !!

   
I still fondly remember paying $2.50 to see a Sox game while in college
in ’68; taking my new bride, Karen, to see Roger-Roid pitch a game
during our May honeymoon in ’87.

    Now, mmm, when i compare the tic. prices to the necessities of life for my family, taking into consideration the  mindset of SOME managements–I say forgetaboutit ! I’ll save lots of $, watch mlb.com in HD  from my wheelchair where i know MY restroom & kitchen is clean & I can tune the wicked world out by raising the volume. It ain’t a perfect ‘soulution’  yet, it’s far better than spending all that $$ to watch 2 baseball teams quit playing because 1 team might get a boo-boo and be tired. yea, so tired from playing a child’s game called baseball. I OK’d all this ! It’s my 2-cents !

It sounds like you have more of a problem with spring training rules regarding ties than you do with this particular game.

I too have been to long games. I remember an 18(?) inning game against the Tigers in the mid 90s that was the first of a double header. The difference is it was the regular season, not spring training.

Here’s the bottom line – this was an exhibition game, essentially a practice session. Girardi felt that it had reached the point where it was no longer productive for his players, and so he ended it. That’s why yankee fans defend Girardi – he puts his players before himself. You’ll never hear anyone say the same of that attention whore you call a manager.

Now go give those hemorrhoids a rest.

Typical uneducated poster and no doubt, Tito lap dog.

They have a special table set up in the clubhouse where the mandatory nicknames are assigned. Star or scrub, you gotta have one. No other team does that.

Fits in well with the pink hats and “Sweet Caroline”. If they got rid of all of the above, they could have won last year.

Geez, Don. Don’t you have anything better to do.

And, learn to spel.

dude this is Girardi getting Valentine back for all those Jeter/Arod comments.  I think its hilarious and Bobby looks like a whining child.

Not really Brian we had our triple A team in when Wade gave up those runs.  We clearly weren’t worried about the game but you should be worried that our triple A team got four runs off your A squad and that our pitcher Phelps shut down your A lineup.

Dude u have no idea what so ever what ur talking about so shut the hell up and take the back seat just like the red sucks do every year to the yankees you tool!!

Well I know Bobby V is smarter than Joe Mcarthy who started Denny Galehouse in the 48 playoff game instead of 20 game winner Mel Parnell.One of the worst managerial decisions
in RS history.  I think Bobby V will be a breath of fresh air.

Mortensen, very quietly, (to my pleasant surprise) actually has pitched pretty well this spring training. Took to the mound for 7 complete innings: struck out 9 batters, and gave up absolutely 0 runs in 4 games. I wish that I could say this for some of these other bums who we’ve had auditioning for us thus far in spring training.

Yankees walked off in the10th?  Red Sox walked out on their season at the beginning of September last year, why the tears?

No one expects a spring training game to last more than 9 innings, but Bobby didn’t think not playing wasn’t courteous he said Girardi not making it known that he had no more pitchers and just walkin off the field wasn’t courteous. Typical self-involved self-righteous Yankees thinking the world revolves around them. How hard is it to communicate that you have no more pitchers to the opposing manager? Jackasses.

I saw you pitch in CO Mortensen, trust me if you can’t get hitters out in the AL west, you won’t do it against the Yankees. Get real!

He did…and the game ended. Bobby’s just using this as another excuse to have his name in the papers.

Really it was a very important for the Red Sox. That they needed to bunt to tie the game in the 9th inning. That win now they could have stucked it in there butt pocket and pulled it out for a September win. Really Red Sox fans this is what it’s come to.

And just who is this guy? He seems like a bum looking for attention
