Poor Ramiro...

He deserved better than that. They will miss his glove and his speed.

They're supposedly trying Peña out in CF at AAA. Surely this is a desperate attempt to turn him into trade bait before deadline, no?

[0] I thought *for sure* that Hinske would start tonight at 3B. I was wrong.

[3] Not against the lefty, MP. He'll come in when they bring in a righty reliever. Both Ransom and Hinske better produce or I'll be pissed...

[4] ah, right.

Quiet here so far.

That's not the kind of "production" I had in mind...

Pfft!

[5] Everyone gettin' their fireworks?

heh heh

*** BAD PUN ALERT ***

Umpires Jerry Meals at first, Ron Kulpa at third... a Meals-Kulpa around the corners (especially with Ransom covering third tonight)!

(ducks and runs...)

Holy Smoke... the Umps are BLIND!

[9] uh oh is this a future event?

[8] Ouch...

: )

Let me see some Po Ab's first Kay, before we see how "blessed" he is against Washburn...

: )

[11] Hey! No crying in baseball... >;)

(I did warn you!)

That's what you get when they send a priest to do the Pope's job...

: )

I can't believe the obviously Red Hot Cano was dropped behind the Caught Looking Posada guy. Another Girardi loss.

[15] Hey RYI! Are you back home now?

RIY too...

Yes, we're both back home, PJ! Back here in RI and RY, respectively.

[18] That's good! Did you bring home some scotch by chance?

: )

Man, Karl Malden is dead at age 97. Not unexpected, but at this rate we're going to run out of celebrities by August.

[20] Yeah, he completed the latest three with Mays and Travelena...

this is hot such a great return for cody so far

My favorite Malden role was General Omar Bradley in Patton...

Yay Johnny!

Johm-demon!

[19] I brought home an 18 year old, as a matter of fact.

[26] Very nice! They don't get much better than that!

: )

[26] Nice.

That was going out without a doubt...

I dunno which one of Karl Malden's roles were my favorite since he was in just about everything back in the day, but his bad guy role in "Nevada Smith" jumps to mind...

"Yer YELLAH! Ya haven't got the GUTS!!!"

Okay, I caught the tail end of that story. Whose shirt did Griffey steal?

Dang.

pick-off time

Should Teix have gone home on that play?

Wow. I love that about Andy.

[33] i think he was too off-balance

gotta love the pick off ... loved the wooga-wooga Balentien did before trying to dive back in!

[30] Maybe it wasn't a shirt, but that t-shit that Alex saw at Shea... um, CitiField...

Is that what all the innings have looked like against Washburn???

blech.

Letting the opposing pitcher off with only 5 pitches is unacceptable!

[38] a few have gone slightly longer only to be killed by a dp
but blech described those innings as well

Exactly: two base runners twice. Two DPs killed off the surge.
Damon homered. One of these innings, though, someone will hit a 3-run homer, and we're off...

8 pitch innings by Andy Pettitte, however, are eminently acceptable.

wow leche!!

Replay time. Kinda looked foul to me.

[44] me too

Better angle, looks good.

Yeah, that was fair... "DON"T FUNCK THIS UP, MITCHELL!!!"

>;)

[46] yeah it's like from one angle someone is kinda ugly, another not so a bad

well hr it is

[8] you, sir, need to go to the Punitentiary!

damn drilled his foot

[48] Yeah, though here it all depends on the camera angle. Fugly people need lower lighting and some beer.

Hey, Andy!! Glad to see Posada remembers how to call a good game. : )

I'll shut up now.

and junior remembers how to hit a hr to right field

44 different ML parks? I bet that's a record that won't be broken.

That fat old man hitting a HR in this series is unacceptable!

You can't tell me that Griffey Prime didn't have one of the sweetest swings in baseball...

[57] i probably said this last year too, but i can't get over junior's um physique

If someone had to homer off Andy, I'm glad it was Junior.

[58] I saw Griffey hit a check swing opposite field homer in the Kingdome. 1994. It was the Kingdome, but still. . .

dipshit

Ha ha.

He'll be running laps tomorrow.

Hahahaha! WTF?

What a bonehead.

Doh!

Woohoo A-Rod!

alex with a cf shot - take that griffey

Damn. That's what we were waiting for, right?

Alex made that look like a BP pitch... well, maybe it was.

Jussssst turned on Gameday to see "home run to CF"!! was it a real Reggie-style tater?

[68] Time to break out that "Anything you can do, I can do better" song.

[72] haha

[71] yeah he got a hold of it to almost straight-away center

[71] Well-done OK Jazz! I wish I wielded that kind of power!

[72] LOL

So you think you can dance?

[75] Wowzers, my roommate is watching that right now and was trying to drag me into it as well...

I'd rather see Phil Hughes in the 1st - 7th innings, then Bruney in the 8th. In the long term.

good lord edpcy up again?!?

[76] Melky's impromptu audition was exciting. : )

[79] He's no Michael Jackson...

: )

Cleveland has apparently added anti-seagull measures. I thought they were going crazy with the fireworks, but no, it's some kind of anti-gull cannon.

ARods HR was on a low pitch. To hit a pitch like that out over the CF wall takes some strong.

[80] He's got the "crotch-grab" down though... as does most every major leaguer...

heh heh

My wife told me to post that!

Is everyone on Cleveland injured? They are playing some bad baseball.

[83] haha :}
tex is pretty adept at it

nice to see jeter with a hard pulled hit

EDPH?

[81] Dave Winfield?

[85] Um, that last sentence doesn't belong with the others, right?

edpcy in for the lefty!

[88] hahha - oh lord no

And somewhere Joe Torre is watching, drumming his fingers and thinking "You have learned well, Girardi."

[87], [88] I was just thinking the same thing about both of those >;)

how's marte doing - otherwise poor cokey's arm might fall off

Phil Hughes might come in for 1 batter? Seriously? Is that not a waste of his talents? David Robertson sitting in the pen there Joe.

I love it when a plan comes together. -The A-Team.

cokey is doing great though

EDPCy has had a very nice little run over the last month or so ...

of course, his arm will likely fall of by August, but hey!

[95] George Peppard made $50,000 per episode to smoke a cigar and say that line..not a bad gig..

[94] it's the Joe Girardi plan, never use 1 arm when you can use 3 ...

[95] [98] haha my brother and i used to chew on those big pretzels and say that all the time when we watched the a team - oh how corny we were
