Oy, another good night for Carl C and the Sox. And the Yanks face two tough pitchers in Seattle tonight and tomorrow.

Hey my class threw me a suprise b-day party this week and hooked me up with a Yankee cake and a Jeter jersey. And they had black and gold balloons for my Steelers. I was totally floored because I've never had the Pinstripes before. If any of them ever read the Banter they would not have picked #2. lol.......Go Yankees!

This young pitcher for the M's sounds all kinds of nasty. Had not heard of him until tonight.

8 Mattpat11   ~  May 27, 2011 10:02 pm

[1] We face tough pitching all road trip.

9 Mattpat11   ~  May 27, 2011 10:10 pm

This might have been a good night to sit Jeter

10 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 27, 2011 10:14 pm

Nice, Teix.

11 Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2011 10:14 pm

Teix goes boom!

12 Mattpat11   ~  May 27, 2011 10:14 pm

Whoo!

13 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 27, 2011 10:16 pm

[2] Awww! That's lovely! Happy birthday!

14 cult of basebaal   ~  May 27, 2011 10:25 pm

[8] OTOH we get a whole roadtrip without Michael Kay ...

15 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 27, 2011 10:26 pm

[14] Nice, right?

16 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2011 10:26 pm

i'm gonna be playing in seattle this summer. well, right outside of it at a big outdoor park. never been there. lookin' forward to it!

17 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2011 10:27 pm

[14] yo.

18 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 27, 2011 10:27 pm

A little high there, AJ.

19 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 27, 2011 10:28 pm

[16] I was there for the first and only time a couple years ago. It really is a lovely town. Reminded me of Zurich.

20 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 27, 2011 10:34 pm

Good work, AJ.

21 Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2011 10:35 pm

Oh, AJ. Never a dull moment.

22 cult of basebaal   ~  May 27, 2011 10:39 pm

[16] Spent 2 summers in Seattle. It's just gorgeous during that time of year.

23 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 27, 2011 10:39 pm

Come on, Swish...

24 cult of basebaal   ~  May 27, 2011 10:39 pm

[16] Festival?

25 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2011 10:40 pm

[19] unfortunately, i won't really have any time to do anything, but work. i doubt i'll get to see any of downtown seattle. i'll see: tour bus, backstage, stage, hotel, airport.

also something i probably won't see there: an a-rod #3 mariners jersey!

26 cult of basebaal   ~  May 27, 2011 10:40 pm

Run, Russell, run!

27 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 27, 2011 10:40 pm

[21] Never.

28 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2011 10:41 pm

[24] i don't think so. just a show. i don't have all the details yet. i see del mar is pretty much san diego. i'll also be in woodland hills (which really is LA) and somewhere called Costa Mesa, which is the OC and prolly pretty close to you. i imagine it's near Anaheim, or something...

29 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2011 10:42 pm

i'm diggin' russell *coltrane* (!!!) martin!

30 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2011 10:45 pm

Evening, all.
I was watching hockey! Can you believe it? Hockey. Sometimes I amaze myself.

31 Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2011 10:45 pm

I don't get watching a 3-1 meatball. Fuck.

32 cult of basebaal   ~  May 27, 2011 10:45 pm

Bah.

33 cult of basebaal   ~  May 27, 2011 10:45 pm

[28] When's the gig in Woodland Hills?

34 Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2011 10:46 pm

[30] Damn Bruins. Go Canucks.

35 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 27, 2011 10:46 pm

[31] Eh, it was a good pitch, high. I wouldn't quite call it a meatball.

36 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 27, 2011 10:46 pm

[30] :)

37 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2011 10:47 pm

[34] Oh, right.
I don't really care. And the NHL is usually really dull, but Game 7 of a playoff series is electric.

38 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 27, 2011 10:47 pm

Damn.

39 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 27, 2011 10:50 pm

Huh. There's a "Phil Hughes" throwing fastballs off a mound.

40 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2011 10:53 pm

[33] i'll text/call you. i think it's mid-july, or something...

hi RI!

41 Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2011 10:56 pm

Straight Cheese.

42 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2011 11:03 pm

so...aj has walked 4 of the first 9 batters.

huh.

43 Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2011 11:04 pm

Thatta boy, AJ!

44 Mattpat11   ~  May 27, 2011 11:04 pm

You know what sounds like boring TV? Watching these two walk people all night

45 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2011 11:04 pm

so...aj has struck out 4 of the first 10 batters.

huh.

46 OldYanksFan   ~  May 27, 2011 11:09 pm

You don't see this much. Over 100 pitches thrown in 2 innings, yet just a 1-0 game.

47 OldYanksFan   ~  May 27, 2011 11:20 pm

68 pitches after 3.

48 OldYanksFan   ~  May 27, 2011 11:25 pm

63 pitches for AJ after 3.

49 Mattpat11   ~  May 27, 2011 11:28 pm

I can think of four Cy Young/Perfect game pitcher. Cone, Koufax, Johnson and Halladay

50 Mattpat11   ~  May 27, 2011 11:30 pm

Hell of an AB from Posada

51 Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2011 11:30 pm

What a fucking catch. Damn!

52 Mattpat11   ~  May 27, 2011 11:30 pm

Death to Flying Things indeed

53 Boatzilla   ~  May 27, 2011 11:36 pm

That was a sick play. He's the best outFEIDER in baseball, no doubt. But, speaking for sick, how can you miss 41 games from a stomach flue?

54 Mattpat11   ~  May 27, 2011 11:37 pm

Kennedy's been drinking again

55 Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2011 11:37 pm

Sweet pick off.

56 Boatzilla   ~  May 27, 2011 11:39 pm

A.J. seems to have brought his A Game tonight.

57 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 27, 2011 11:45 pm

I don't know how Alex is hitting .286.

58 Mattpat11   ~  May 27, 2011 11:45 pm

I'll take it

59 Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2011 11:46 pm

Gift run. Much thanks.

60 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2011 11:46 pm

i'll take it!

61 Boatzilla   ~  May 27, 2011 11:47 pm

That's one way to get RISP in.

62 Mattpat11   ~  May 27, 2011 11:48 pm

That was a pretty clear trap

63 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2011 11:49 pm

[57] he's now hitting .290! ; )

64 Boatzilla   ~  May 27, 2011 11:50 pm

Rust Staub!? There's a blast from the past.

65 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 27, 2011 11:54 pm

[64] I was at the game where he tied Dave Philly's record for consecutive pinch hits. It was against the Phillies, of all people, it was the seventh in a row, I believe, and I seem to recall it was some kind of linedrive like over the shortstop's head.

66 Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2011 11:55 pm

Fucking Ichiro.

67 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2011 11:57 pm

aj has an in-game whip of 2.

68 Boatzilla   ~  May 27, 2011 11:58 pm

[65] Cool. I was actually a Met fan for a short time when he was on the team.

69 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 27, 2011 11:59 pm

Good evening.

[66] I'd take him on my team.

That crafty AJ probably saved a run.

70 Mattpat11   ~  May 28, 2011 12:00 am

A few weeks ago, SNY went to a prolonged shot of a beam in the dugout. (Terry Collins was allegedly behind it) That's a better camera angle than this stupid behind the umpire shit.

71 Just Fair   ~  May 28, 2011 12:00 am

Good play. What a crazy inning.

72 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 28, 2011 12:01 am

Saved it for a little later.

73 Boatzilla   ~  May 28, 2011 12:01 am

Talk about small ball.

74 Just Fair   ~  May 28, 2011 12:05 am

Get. Out. Of. The. Fifth!

75 Just Fair   ~  May 28, 2011 12:06 am

Battle of the bullpens.

76 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 28, 2011 12:08 am

[75]Right now, a Yankees advantage.

77 Mattpat11   ~  May 28, 2011 12:17 am

Oh, good.

78 Mattpat11   ~  May 28, 2011 12:20 am

I despise Boone Logan

79 thelarmis   ~  May 28, 2011 12:25 am

throw strikes you fucking cocksucker.

80 thelarmis   ~  May 28, 2011 12:25 am

[76] um...

81 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 28, 2011 12:27 am

ugh

82 Mattpat11   ~  May 28, 2011 12:27 am

QUICK! A LEFTY! WE MUST BRING IN OUR SHITTY LEFTY RELIEVER!

83 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 28, 2011 12:27 am

[80] Hanging head in shame.

84 Mattpat11   ~  May 28, 2011 12:31 am

NO ONE CAN GET ADAM KENNEDY OUT BUT BOONE LOGAN!

85 Mattpat11   ~  May 28, 2011 12:33 am

86 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 28, 2011 12:35 am

[80] Ayala usually better than that, and Robertson/Joba has me spoiled.

87 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 28, 2011 12:35 am

[80] Ayala usually better than that, and Robertson/Joba has me spoiled.

88 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 28, 2011 12:36 am

How does one get a double post? I did nothing unusual.

89 Mattpat11   ~  May 28, 2011 12:36 am

23

90 Mattpat11   ~  May 28, 2011 12:39 am

[87] You forget something important. Lefties are hitting Boone Logan at like a .350 clip, but damnit, we need to pull Burnett at 97 pitches because only Boone Logan can get ADAM KENNEDY out.

91 Boatzilla   ~  May 28, 2011 12:45 am

WTF! This game went sour in a hurry. Feel free to blame my wife, she came home and started bitching at me for screaming at the TV.

92 Mattpat11   ~  May 28, 2011 12:54 am

Jamey Wright is still in baseball?

93 Mattpat11   ~  May 28, 2011 12:57 am

Oh Christ help me, the pinch stand there.

94 cult of basebaal   ~  May 28, 2011 12:59 am

Fucking clownshoes ...

96 thelarmis   ~  May 28, 2011 1:00 am

[93] well, that's almost worse!

97 Boatzilla   ~  May 28, 2011 1:01 am

Good thing we had a pinch runner in there.

98 Boatzilla   ~  May 28, 2011 1:09 am

Were gonna get Bush League. I can feel it.

99 Mattpat11   ~  May 28, 2011 1:11 am

Yeah, this game is starting to piss me off.

100 Mattpat11   ~  May 28, 2011 1:12 am

Lets all just take strikes!

Nice start to the weekend.

104 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 28, 2011 1:16 am

Goodnight

105 Mattpat11   ~  May 28, 2011 1:16 am

This division is going to be way too close to permit Joe Girardi a fetish lefty. Its time to cut Boone Logan.

106 OldYanksFan   ~  May 28, 2011 1:17 am

Pathetic. Blowing a 3-0 lead and lying down for their BP. PATHETIC!

107 thelarmis   ~  May 28, 2011 1:25 am

[104] randy flores is prolly on his way. ugh.
