I don’t think we’re going to see another low scoring game tonight. Nope, I expect to see the ball flying around out there. Let’s hope the Yanks are the ones putting the crooked numbers up on the board.
Never mind the Sizzlean–bring home the bacon and let’s go Yank-ees!

Man, that's really not a very flattering picture of Bartolo ...
Do you know of a flattering picture of Bartolo?
Ozzie's gonna have to drop a couple of fivers into the Swear Jar ...
FISTED!
RIPPER!!!
Not gonna catch that
Catch *THAT* Lilliputian!
Love me some Robbie!
[4] HAMMERED!
[6] [7] Heh.
DAMN! Robbie is a good hitter. Low and inside and he creams it.
Toad!
I averted my eyes. But he squeezed out of it.
Was that actually a "Jeter sucks" chant?
[13] Geez, I didn't realize I had Skype on.
Evening folks. Three runs already? Yes.
[15] Hi rbj. Yes, Rob picked up some you-1 early.
I've been wondering what happend to Greg Maddux. Bartolo ate him. He's working that wiffle ball like movement.
I'm enjoying the Fat Bastard era so far. That 2 seam fastball he's throwing is a legit nasty pitch.
Hmmm .... Joba, Brackman, Montero and Ramiro Pena for Hanley Ramirez .... ?
I wonder if the Marlins would do that?
Slightly outside, but probably too close to take and, in any case, a pitch Jorge should have hammered.
[19] No, they wouldn't.
But first they'd laugh ...
is Vizquel still a whingey ass?
[19] I don't think they can. Their payroll is already small enough. Any smaller and they're gonna get in huge trouble with the Players Association, no?
[23] Hm, okay, instead of Joba they can have Soriano.
Kay in a mohawk?
[25]
scarier thought .... Kay as a father ...
[23] But *why* would they? They're moving into a new stadium next year, they have no need to dump payroll, especially when they're currently leading the NL East.
And, from a baseball perspective, that's a terrible return for Ramirez.
No way are the Fish giving up Hanley. Maybe we could pry Stephen Drew from the D-backs?
[26] Ohh, yes.
Keep in mind that the BoSox also want a SS. That will make anyone even remotely available very expensive.
[30]
well, Hanley WAS a Sox prospect way back when.
But they have a kid named Iglesias ready for 2012.
Yeah, there just aren't a lot of shortstops who can hit these days. Jeter's still one of the best...because there aren't a lot of alternatives.
[31] Right, the Beckett and Lowell deal.
Yeah, maybe. But Iglesias can't hit at all.
Boonowa tweepi, ha, ha.
Have you now, ha, ha.
Fat Bastard with da K!
Damn.
Despite giving back a run, we lost only 3% in Win Expectancy that inning.
Now a couple of tack-on runs, please.
This Bart Columbus kid has been a great discovery.
Red Sox getting strangled by the O's again.
DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP 50 feet in front of the wall.
Colon..am speechless. He'll have to make an appearance here soon: http://youcantpredictbaseball.wordpress.com/
Man, Bart is pitching well.
7 innings, well done.
I'd rather see than kid than Gardner.
[43] Any reason not to send him back out there?
[45] Well, there is the almighty binder to consider ...
[45] I still have faith in Soriano!
Box score says Ozzie was ejected in the 1st..what happeend?
I'd sure like it if we scored a few more runs ...
[45] We have an 8th inning guy! We have to use the 8th inning guy in the 8th inning. Anything else is thinking outside the box. Not allowed.
Easy there Fat Bastard, don't blow the arm out.
Bollocks!
What? Colon out there? Dare we see a complete game?
Get in my BELLY!
Pitcher's Best Friend!
Great Googly Moogly Fat Man!!!

Ah, Mo.
Hmmm. Teix out of the game? That's odd.
58) Yeah, that's not good.
Unless something crazy happens here--knock on wood--this'll be the shortest Yankee game this year.
[47] He argued a 3rd called strike. I think he might have said "Fuck you" to the ump about 8 too many times.
Adam Dunn, meet a Hall of Famer getting a call.
Alex Rios. Take a seat.
This is taking too long
That's better
Thanks be to Mo.
Sweet. And TIDY. Hot dog. So I was wrong about the runs.
Nice spaz AJ. LOL
Ah, The Mo.
Nice win! Sox losing too (shame it was Luke Scott homering but whaddaya going to do.. ;)
I know it's a game for boys, but AJ Pzkrzewskinsky takes that a little too literally.
The machine back in tune. And right now, starting pitching is not premier issue.
Bartolo muy bueno.
Clay "Lenn Sakata" Rapada in for the O's now...
[72] Not anymore.
[73] Yep, it's Koji "Yoyogi" Uehara in now.
Koji Uehara blows the lead!
Damn! Can the O's hold them??
I'm actually watching hockey.
Awesome. The Sox hand the lead back even as the Bruins cough up their lead with 2 minutes remaining! And they go to OT. I missed the Os' scoring play, though. Hm, was there a runner picked off or something?
Oh, PB but Tek recovered it in time to nail the runner. Then Vlad singled.
Damn, Marco Scutaro PH for Varitek. Now that's insulting, and also a disturbing comment on the Boston bench.
My Little Groundout to end the game. Sweet.
Now if the Habs can pound the stake in, it will be a glorious sportstalk day tomorrow.
[81] Indeed. I wonder how all the pundits will defend the BoSox being under.500 for April..still small sample size I guess? Hope we are at least 6 up on them at the ASB!
Bruins win! Damn.
Good game, though.
