Yankees $230M team humiliated at home, ousted, Braves decide who can/can't celebrate

[HammerDown]

Despite baseball's highest opening-day payroll at $230 million, the Yankees failed to claim one of the 10 playoff berths. The Yankees lost for the eighth time in 11 games and were eliminated from contention for a playoff berth on their own field for the first time since 1991.

Meanwhile, the Braves continued their heavy-handed ways last night with the Brew Crew.

Brian McCann's antics are tired already. Gomez was obviously being a dick, but come on. Who does McCann think he is and what is it he's protecting? The Braves and their righteous indignation is old. Standing 10' out in front of home plate, blocking it sot he runner can't go past? Gomez should have decked his ass.

Oh and nice to see Zito end his career with a solid performance against the Dodgers. No doubt it was nice for him to leave Chavez and drive a few minutes up to the Beverly Hills palace. Or maybe he felt more like the Malibu beach house.

Oh yeah, and I should have mentioned, the Padres trounced the hapless D'bags.

Tommy Medica? LEGIT!!!

Yeah but the whole showing up the pitcher by just standing there after hitting a homer is getting very old as well. Your job is to hit a home run... Act like you've done it before! Hit it and run the bases. I can see why the Braves were pissed. However McCann wasn't too bright, he was in the post season, don't do anything stupid to possibly get suspended.... Gomez is not worth it

Braves and D-Backs need to get off their high horses already. Braves are as whiny as the TLR Cardinals.

Glad the sites back up. Gomez is a bitch. I would've "accidentally" tripped his punk ass at the plate.

yankees season is over. gonna be rooting for the Pirates and indians in the playoffs. that would be a great world series

 

[bravesfan]

I'm sure the padres and Red Sox would allow for some punk to show his ass on their home field

 

[Brocktagon]

did gomez ever get to touch home plate???

no chance. that would have happened at fenway or that shitty park in san diego.

Nope it was ruled catcher interference

Lets see braves lose their best player ( freeman ) for the game and lose the home field advantage

GOMEZ WINS

I would like the braves to put together a few good offensive games before the playoffs

i remember a few thousand who hung around when we won the world series in '07.

yes, the class-act rockies let the red sox celebrate the WS victory at coors field. the way it should be.

It wasn't just one then. He almost hit a grand slam his 2nd time up, which was caught, then, just missed a homer in his 3rd a.b, which went for a double.

And, speaking of Helton, I think his football skills would have translated into an NFL career. Which made me think, I wonder if Peyton could hit a curve ball? ( hope you know the UT backstory )

 

[redseat]

Whats up with the Rockies giving Helton a horse?
