pepto abysmal dfa'ed!

relief!

WOR showed that movie one time in the late70s/early 80s. They left in the scene where, during a robbery at a club (? IIRC), the robbers had all the patrons strip down to their underwear. Even the woman who declared she didn't wear underwear.

Full frontal nudity!

Yanks on the boob tube AGAIN tonight! Three games in a row. Except for the Michael Kay part, i feel like I'm getting spoiled.

Must win game

Yanks get Wood to stiffen up the Pen!

[3] Lucky! M's & Twins here again..riveting..oh well, coffee, bagels and Gameday ahoy!

This does not augur well.

johnny vander garza's throwing a NO HITTER!!! ; )

[7] Augur?

It's King Felix on the mound today! Love watching him pitch..

How's Javy looking?

[5] oh my. i'm surprised diane didn't write that! ; )

[9] um, not good. leadoff double...

Oh here we go

Why is Tino screaming at the viewer?

[10]

hey now! :-)

I'm gonna be in your neck of the woods next week ... Sheraton Atlanta Downtown

[11] Oh no..Gameday seems to be on a slight delay this morning..

Twins already up 2-0 on King Felix!

DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.......

15 feet in front of the warning track.

and so it begins...

[16]

Michael Kay's depth perception would be rated a 20 in scoutspeak...

[16] Well, that's still a long way to Death Valley if..oh, they're in Tampa..

[14] yes, ma'am!

i know the sheraton. right by where i used to play all the time. i'm thinking of going to the game friday night, not sure yet. at the very least, we should meet up for a meal, or something...

i'm headed out to a gig here in a bit, but we'll touch base here during the week. when are you headed south?

9) hey, not everything I type is misspelled!

Tuesday late afternoon

the SABR crew will be at the Friday night game .... I'll be in either section 331 or 333 ....

Twins get 3 off of Felix..M's with ANOTHER error in the infield..Thome can still stroke it..Mrs. Jazz thinks Don Wakamatsu is handsome...that's about all from this game..

Hold them to 1 Javy! We'll win this game for sure!

Tino calming down some.

[21] Nice! Can't recall seeing that word in print before...

Cool graphic! i didn't know ARod had so many career HRs.

Now Kay is yelling

[26] I missed it. How many career HRs does A-Rod have?

I'm really glad the quest for the semi historic HR has not overshadowed the game on the field. I mean, getting a walk was a good thing, right guys?

Shut up Kay, I covered all that in my Bantermetrics post :-)

[22] oh wow, soon. will you check in at the banter during the week? are you reachable via your new website?

Well, at least we're not getting no hit

Robbie looking locked in.

a hit! off garza!

rejoice.

farnsworth coming home to atlanta. came over w/ ankiel...

cokey playing with fire at the fens.

c'mon kid, get it together!

[31]

Yes I should be checking in .... write me privately ,..... you can also reach me at the spellczechs site ... I'm also on facebook

Well, that AB couldn't have gone much worse.

[37] cool. i'm not on facebook, so i guess i'll get to you via spellczechs. is it just that dot com?

Just hit it in the air Curtis

Is Kay particularly annoying tonight? or maybe it's the material: a manufactured controversy about where this or that player should bat, in addition to something or other about ARod.

motherfucker. fat liar tied it up bottom 9.

fuck!

I prefer Swish batting 2nd.

[42] He won it, actually

shit sox won.

of course.

: /

Sox walk off.

Not optimal, but not bad either. Good job, Grandy!

[44] i really hate that fat fuck.

I'll take that.

I still want to know what happened to the Phil Coke we had. It was incredibly frustrating at the time, but looking back, there was something hilarious about having a guy whose sole job on the team was to give up homers to lefties

diane - i found your spellczechs site. i don't see a way to email you from there. am i blind? if cliff has your email, i can get it from him...

[39]

http://spellczechs.wordpress.com/

or email alex and he'll forward to me

[51]

I just e-mailed you (you'll read how I found you)

[53] huh. really??? i didn't get an email. i wonder if you actually found me! it's not easy... : )

if you did find me, it could be an older addy. the main part would be the same, it's just at gmail dot com now...

That was not a swing, was it? Really?

[54]

OK .... tried it with the gmail addy

Microcosm of life. Deep, Michael Kay, real deep.

[57] Is his new woman unlocking the hidden, philosophical MK?

[57]

spoken by a man who is engaged to Jodi Applegate, and gets to follow the Yanks for a living

[56] got it! sneaky! : )

alright peeps, i'm late for a gig.

GO YANKS!!!

58) new woman? I didn't know he had a little somethin' somethin'.

[61]

http://www.05news.com/jodi-applegate-74368/

Soclose Brett.

that's gonna leave a mark

[61] Oh Prof....the phrase "something' somethin'" does not go well with your tweed coat and pipe! :) btw, who exactly IS this John Jaso??

Michael is thinking of a 3-way with he, Jodi and Kim ... :-(

[61]

a better article on the happy couple

http://tinyurl.com/2b7ncbx

[65] He's Jason VoorHees to the Yanks right now...

Seems like he and carl Crawford are gonna pick-and-roll the Yanks to death tonight >:'

I thinking Alex goes dead CF here .... to the warning track.

67) well, it's a big, funny world, i guess.

65) just trying to stay hip and relevant, so i can relate to these kids today with their convertible cars and jazz music.

[66] Can't blame him.

Javy's not been great but he's hanging in there. But the offense needs to get out of this score every ten innings thing.

[70] Tough to do, Daddy-O..

C'mon Tex, bring some return of the Boom-Bap!

But Michael ... consider the run-scoring environments of Mickey and A-Rod .... Mantle's achievement is harder.

Time to drop Alex to eighth in the order :-)

So they show all of the flashes going off in the stands when the pitcher throws a pitch to ARod. Now my question, does the flash really do anything when you are taking a picture of an object a couple hundred feet away?

[75] It's getting crowded there, isn't it where Jeter should be hitting now?

It's Cano vs. the Rays.

[76] No they don't. Chances are it's an automatic setting

[78] On many of those P&S cameras, you'll have a flash effectiveness of about 6 feet.

77) the Yankees are trying to construct a roster with about seven players rotating into the DH all batting eighth.

I've got a kitchen to clean. What a wild July Saturday night.

[81] I finished up cleaning the bathroom not too long ago

[81] Laundry here! Banter-chore-a-thon!

Is a run scored after a leadoff double a "manufactured run"? More importantly, why am I listening to Michael Kay?

The captain trying to manufacture a run!

This is A Rod's inning...

Ugh, Lancie, baby!

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' BOUT!!!!!!!

Tie!

Wait, did that land yet?

Manufactured Run!!!!

Teix for the tie!

A-Rod for the untie.

Good Gosh.

A Rod misses the first fastball...

Oh, tough second strike. Damn, good pitch.

Good, he bounced the curve ball.

[73] I called it!!

"Return of the Boom Bap means jus that!"

Got him to chase another hook. Crud.

False Alarm.

My bad.

Let's Go Robbie.

Slowly but surely, this team has gone from Jeter & A-Rod's to Cano, Teix and CC's.
