Man, it’s a hot one out there. Damned Mets are hot, while the Yanks are decidedly not.
Still, the Bombers remain tied for first place with the Rays. The Can’t-You-Hear-Me-Knockin’ Sox are just a game back.
Hope everyone is staying cool.

Off to a pool party, so I'll miss the game. Not like I'll be missing a great Yankees offense though.
Tough loss for Javy last night.
Cliff Lee? The shit.
I'm at the game! First time in new Yankee stadium. The place is impressive. Pretty nice day in the shade. Go yanks!
[2] Huh?
Brett Gardner LF
Nick Swisher RF
Mark Teixeira 1B
Alex Rodriguez DH
Robinson Cano 2B
Jorge Posada C
Curtis Granderson CF
Ramiro Pena SS
Kevin Russo 3B
Jeter out with a bruised heel, we've got the mighty mite O today ...
Just win the damned game
Oh Christ
Lovely, just fucking lovely.
Of course, giving up a run in the first seemed to work for Javy last night.
I HATE that pitch
[10] The strikeout pitch?
[11] The waste pitch three feet outside. Or over his head. He's not going to swing at it. No one ever swings at it. No one is supposed to swing at it. Its a completely pointless pitch, that in the age of pitch counts, really adds up when you throw dozens of them a game.
[4] After last night's six hit CG shutout, his ERA is 2.55 and his K:BB is 67:4. Probably wouldn't be a bad potential pickup this offseason.
Run.
See?
[13] Ah. Ya think?
=)
Can't believe Gardy couldn't score. Oh, that's it, he had to hold up.
He's killing us.
Fucking just killing us.
GODDAMMIT TEIX.
FUCK.
Alright. Could have been worse.
SLASHER!
Well, that was a productive inning.
Having Pena and Russo in the same lineup is pathetic. The Yankees lack of depth is disgraceful.
Ah, brilliant Hughes, walk the sluggardly Blanco to minimize the potential of Reyes' speed!
Fuck.
That's not good.
Fucking fuck.
[24] Like THAT ... did you see how long it took Reyes to get around the bases?
What an embarrassment.
Why does Wright waggle his tongue in that unseemly way like a dog or Jason Giambi?
GRITNER!
Well, at least that means Teix can't GiDP ...
Thank you, Teix!
THANK you!
Ball's jumping to RF today ...
Teixeir'owned.
[32] It is.
I didn't think it was going out off the bat.

[35] It wasn't exactly a great swing, he was out front and over his forward leg on it ...
[36] Yawn.
THE GRANDYMAN CAN!!!!
Oh, hell YES!
Now that one was gone off the bat!
DISGRACEFUL!!!
Gardy just puts together such good ab.
Imagine if we had some mad scientist hybrid at the top of the lineup ... Derett Jetner?
[43] :)
[43] scary
hmm, i can't get gameday to work. wtf?
[46] fixed. it was something with my computer. i restarted.
C'mon Phil, concentrate!
FUCK
Beautifully turned, boys!
Quiet round here. Just flipped on the CWS on espn. The TCU pitcher is sporting his hat cocked completely off center. It's halfway between backwards and frontwards. I hope this is not the latest trend. Yikes.
Nice Robbie, nice! If they're not going to throw you something good, take the walk!
this guys not throwing a lot of strikes eh
C'mon Russo. One time.
damn
Well, sure seems like a decent BUIF and some Relief help is what Cashman's going to be shopping for this trading season ...
Phil should start the 8th, Mo should back him up.
FUCK roles.
Yay! Coffee Joe twitches again!
Ummm...is this a good idea?
well, it's not a terrible call though I would have started the inning with Phil.
Oooh, 96.
Uh, Paul ... Joba RARELY throws a curveball.
Slider, son, slider.
[62] Exactly ... who cares.
[62] well, isn't that good? Sometimes I thought Joba's speed was down.
Mariano Rivera, please.
ah c'mon joba!
Come on, Joba!!
Very nice, Joba.
Very nice.
yes!
[opens eyes]
Phew.
Alright, let's finish them off here!
Damn, that thing just jumped off Robbie's bat.
Wow. Don't see THAT very often!
[73] what happened there? i was in the other room
oh man that hurts. 2nd and 3rd no out and no we may not score at all
[74] Cano hit a deep fly ball to CF ... Pagan looked like he was tracking it, then he didn't, then he did, the he gave up and admitted he didn't and it landed 7-10 feet away from him for a double.
[76] oh wow! Thanks for the info.
93 from Mo!!
Mariano Rivera, ladies and gentlemen.
Nice little win.
Very well done done, Phillip.
I love Granderson.
Such authentic charisma, warmth, intelligence.
Just seems such a delightful human being.
nice Mo!
[80] yeah he's awesome.
Hi all.
Just caught the very end of the game -- stranding Alex and Rob in the eighth, then Mo in the ninth.
I was out playing some baseball! Good day for it. Been a lonnnnng time. I can still hit, sort of (no power, but I could connect with pitches), to my surprise.
Excellent comments today, with cult in particularly fine form.
