Russell Martin C
Nick Swisher RF
Andruw Jones LF
Eduardo Nunez SS
I’ve got nuthin’ to add except the usual:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Jesus, can't we even find our seats, first?
There's a great fuggin way to start the game.
That wasn't THAT bad a pitch //// Ellsbury reached out and pulled that into the seats
[3] No, it wasn't.
Oh, fuck.
Garcia seems to stink
Christ, three fucking runs, just like that.
[5] He's going to get it together.
Omg, Ortiz is hitting .325?
Fuck.
Howdy everybody, just a little bit late, here ... let me adjust my seat and pull up the game on my ... SONOFABITCH ... 3-0, already?!?!?
Meh.
I honestly think giving up 3 runs in the top of the first in this game is complete bullshit. Irritated right now.
3) It's that bad when it's going 36 miles per hour.
10) Especially with Lester going. But then again, this is Freddy Garcia.
[11]
true!
I missed every inning of the last series between these Modamn fuckers. I am already sorry I have to watch. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Jesus, what a sick hook.
13) It reminded me of a whiffle ball pitch, the kind hitters must drool over, especially when Garcia just doesn't throw hard enough to make you worry about the fastball.
Nice walk Curtis!
Good work, Curtis.
Oww, fuck, he's in agony.
Uh oh. Please don't be serious, please don't be serious, please don't be serious...
You've got to be fucking kidding me.
C'mon Teix, get up and be okay.
Holy fuggin ouch.
Fucking hell, that must kill.
Three run jack right here.
In the meantime, this could be devastating...
Jesus, it hurts just watching him.
Well, at least it seemed like he was able to gingerly limp down the stairs to the tunnel.
Hopefully just a nasty bruise.
Please?
So now he have Jorgie playing first and batting cleanup, already down three runs with Lester on the mound.
Most inauspicious.
Third, not cleanup, of course.
Man, the only thing that saved the inning was Alex hit such a chump grounder.
C'mon Robbie, cash one in.
Oh, plus, he's hitless (still, isn't he?) from the right side.
Fuck Jon Lester.
30) I was just about the write that when Alex hit that weak grounder...always a good time for a first!
Be nice if Robbie lined one back through the box off Lester's knee cap.
Robbie a little late on that fastball but he wasn't fooled. I doubt he'll see another one here.
He got another one. What do I know?
Lester has got to go with something off speed, no?
[33] Hahahah!! Nice!
Good eye, Robbie! Does he stay soft on 3-2? I'd guess yes. Or a heater up out of the zone.
YESSS!!!
[36] He did, and Robbie was on it!
Wonderful job by Robbie. The curve wasn't great, hung up too much, but nice job.
Kept the hands back!
Well that's something. Good work, Robbie! Eat a big bag of dog shit, Lester.
surprised Ellsbury didn't dive .... maybe misjudged it
GO FUCK YOURSELF YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!
Again!
Knock fucking Ortiz on his ass.
Can't let them off the hook, man. Must tie the fucking game, here.
Hey, Swish, DUCKS ON THE POND!
[43] I did think he was going to be much closer...it did look like he took a funny route, circling around it or something.
You know ... its not like he is head-hunting ... he doesn't have command of that pitch ...
CHICKENS IN THE YARD!
Yeah, he wasn't trying to hit those guys.
DAMN, that 1-0 pitch was fat!
Swisher is screwed now.
Cutter inside or breaking ball away?
Oh BABY, just missed outside. That looked close. I say he comes inside now.
[49] [51] I know, but still.
Damn it.
Fuck. That was a nice pick.
56) Yeah, I'm with you. Problem is, Freddy couldn't give a guy a headache if he beaned him in the noggin.
Am at the game. Any word on Tex? Was he hit on the knee or ankle? Please post any news.
Terrible speed by swisher on that groundout
Nick is TIGHT! You can SEE it.
60) It certainly wasn't the ankle. It was the knee. Exactly where on the knee I don't know, but I'm guessing it was flush on the knee cap. X Rays to come...
Oof, just watching Jorge reach down for that ball is already making me miss Teix.
Freddy has absolutely nothing. This game is going to last forever but for Freddy it's going to finished sooner rather than later.
Fat Freddy's got fuck all tonite ...
Sooner rather than later, please, Joey Joe Joe.
[64] Heh.
=)
[59] Heehee. Reminds me of what's his name, on the Mets, who tried to bean Clemens and missed. Was it Estes, I think? He MISSED!
Like in "Deadwood" when Trixie goes to shoot Hearst and all she does is put hit him in the arm, as feckless as can be.
Asked what he had in mind for Clemens, Estes replied, "I was just trying to make a pitch."
God, what a circus those days were.
Good work, Freddie. One more...
Fuckfuckfuckfuck.
[65] Wow, you got your wish!
Thank You.
Long game tonight. And waiting on the word about Teix is just going to make it seem longer.
[72] The world's lousy.
Schilling, far and away. No fucking contest.
Fugly's going to hit it out.
Oh, pfew. Or not, thank god.
I really hate when the pitcher just shits the bed right away. Especially coming off an off day, rivalry game, you're all pumped up etc. It drives me nuts.
I don't care if they lose 19-2 tonight so long as Teix isn't gone for the year.
I'll be your best friend if you start spelling it "Tex". You're in a position to influence people and this is important.
[77] Yup.
[78] Hahahahah!! For real? "Teix" bothers you?
That's hilarious.
Agreed, losing Teix would be a big blow. I'm just hopeful at the fact he was gimping off under his own power once he got to the dugout.
Getting ahead of myself here ... if Teix goes on DL for 15 days ... promote Montero, move Swish or Posada to 1B?
Oh, hey, nice break.
Lucky 13
82) Got to be Swish.
[82] Was thinking that myself.
Montero's pick a bad year to be mediocre (by his standards).
If teh Jesus was hitting the ball like he was at the end of last year, it'd be an easy call.
[86]
true ... he's 2x his K rate and 1/2 his walk rate, and slugging .416
That was lucky.
Shades of a young Bernie Williams...poor jump but the speed to catch up to it. LOL
Curtis is really good out there.
[89] Omg, I was just thinking about Bernie!
I'm late. What happeend to Teix??!?!?!?!
Lester 53 pitches after 2, they HAVE to knock him out early..
Pfew! X-rays, negative, day-to-day.
We could have called the Posada hit!
I just have to say, I admire Teix's make up. I know "OW" isn't the 1st thing I'd be yelling if I got hit like that.
CLETUS!!!
They should keep the ball for posterity ...
[32] Hey, Alex, there you go!
C'MON ALEX!
[96] Hahahahahah!
Jorge's allowed to get hits from the right side? Good news on Teix.
Damn it.
Damn it.
Aggggh, cocksucker.
Horse. Shit.
Three loud outs, bad luck inning. Lester can be had.
Aggggh, cocksucker.
Fuck, we are really not getting any breaks.
Can't believe we wasted a Jorge hit.
[104] He's given up a LOT of home runs this year. Yanks also always makeit hard for D.Bard. I am confident!
Fee-at?
Andy!!!
This is no easy game to watch.
Wow.
Now I hate My Little Pony even more ...
I love that Leiter says "and also too," just like Sarah Palin.
O'Neill constantly cracks me up.
[113]
Similarly, Leiter can quote ... "The Midnight Ride of Paul O'Neill"
He's out!
Best Martin throw of the year.
Coltrane!
Take that, Taco!
If only Snozzberry had broken his ankle. Man, these games get me irritated.
[80] If you pronounce it "Tesh" then go ahead and spell it "Teix". I think that's fair.
[121] Please, no. "Tesh" makes me think of New-Age-Christian-Rocker-ET host John Tesh..
[121] laughing.
Understood.
Captain!
Derek!!!
Nice hit!
12!
[122] Ahaha no no, I'm not advocating anyone call him that!
Mattingly was a captain too, Al.
sigh
[127] Too late, my friend. He's Tesh to me now! :)
Letting this a hole off the hook all night, dammit.
[127][130] A local lady I was once trying to befriend told me she had a great live dvd to loan me, since I was such a music fan..it was John Tesh Live at Red Rocks. Obviously, she did not become Mrs. Jazz.
This game has grown tiresome already..more coffee..
Strikes, dammit, throw STRIKES.
[133] Maybe he was better off throwing balls ...
Blergh.
Game 4 start yet in Dallas?
Brutal.
Hahahahahah!!!!
Hahahahahahah!!!!!!!
Wow ... an infield hit for JoPo!
Two run Jack let's see it!
He's dogging it out there, Scutaro.
Jesus, Alex, you fucktard.
[141] Indeed.
C'mon Alex.
Way to fight it off.
That was a sick hook.
Damn it.
He's not overwhelming, everyone's just slightly off-balance.
What's worse than the Yanks horseshit pitching is that they got Lester on an off night and they've had shitty luck...Youk makes a great play in the first, Lester comes up with a big pitch in the fourth against Curtis. Motherfucker.
Another "potential" rally. A FUCKING RUN SCORING HIT PLEASE!
YYAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!
FUCK YES
Atta boy, Swish!
Can't believe Scutaro let Jorgie reach first.
[151] Incredible. Could be key point in the game.
When Swish hits this lineup is just so relentless!
There are ABs where I wish Andruw would NOT try to hit the ball out of the universe.
DAMN
Michael Kay gives me a headache
Yougottagetuptogetdown.
ロービカノー アイラブユー!
So I missed the beginning of the game. What happened to Garcia?
Noesi is one horrible pitch from a really great outing.
A run or two here would be huge, lets get in the pen.
[155] I don't wish ill on the guy but I wish he would just go away.
Did Nunez and Jeter swing at ball 4?
Lester gets kudos.Was off but good enough.
Geez, I thought Youk was ugly. Looks like the Sox cornered the market when they got A-Gon too.
Best comeback of the year. Starts...NOW
Take it to Jenks, please.
Bobby Jenks is hungry
That's not what I had in mind, but whatever.
Watching game with no sound here..what happend? Elbow?
Teix for Jenks is not a fair trade, we still owe them one.
Steal home, Jorge. From first! You can do it.
Wow. Missed Papelbon's freak out. What a douche.
ARod swung at Ball 4?
Every time I hear "a little tail" I think of Suzyn Waldman insisting that Kyle Farnsworth didn't throw a pin straight fastball.
Ugh. Et tu, Robbie?
Didn't the pitcher throw at Bryce Harper earlier in the game?
Robinson Cano, ladies and gentlemen.
Efff U, Ellsbury.
It's as good as a hit! Just don't "#$%&'( try to steal, Brett!
Walk. Bloop. Bloop. Blast. Piece o' cake.
Got to bring that tying run to the plate. Good start for Gardner.
Might not be a bad idea to start the runner here
The Yanks may well lose this game BUT I feel like they are going to win.
[182] Something about that sentence made me smile.
Riverdance can't find the plate!!! Take, Derek! Take all the way!!
Oh please, please.
Jeter WHAT ARE YOU SWINGING AT?!?!?
Well that was ball 4.
Damn. That was ball four.
Yard.
Man, that 0-2 was close but too high.
Jeter forgets he's a shitty hitter and swings at a terrible Ball 4 pitch.
Well, my prediction powers are for shit tonight.
Well.... who needs 2 men on with 3 HR hitters follwoing.
Keep it alive, Jorge!
Is this a good time to note that if we had just skipped Nova on Friday, the Red Sox wouldn't have gotten a chance to see Freddy's slop again?
Just get on base, anyway you can, Jorge...
Okay, 3-1....
Full count. He's going back to 96 cheese up and away...
LIFE
Great night for Jorge.
Nice.
I'm a weenie..but not feeling confident in A-Rod here..
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
Great swing. Just missed. FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUCK.
A Rod - you are more likely to be the hero if you don't TRY to be the hero so hard. Aw shit you've heard this a miliion times.
Alex has just missed 2 times this game. C'mon, baby!
Now he looks at another right down the middle. He's all messed up tonight.
He should have hit that last pitch 500 feet.
Let it hit ya!
Way to lay off. Now sit dead red, son!
In-fucking-furiating.
A Rod was mad after every at bat tonight I think
First pitch was the best one.
Sigh.
Not the worst loss in the world, at least.
I can live with this one.
A few positives tonight: Posada, Noesi, even Jeter.
But at some point I'm gonna need the Yankees to beat the Red Sox at MOTHER****ING YANKEE STADIUM
[212] I see what you mean, but actually I feel the opposite. Lester was not "on". They had chances against Albers and Papelbon. AWFUL swing by Jeter on Ball 4 and A-Rod missing one makes it painful. They could have had this one.
And Riverdance celebrating like he's Bob Gibson is infuriating, you let the tying run come to the plate, A-hole!
I think the good part is this...Sox win early. Yanks win late. It can't get much worse.
214) A Rod was so on that first pitch at first I thought he lined it into right field.
So why didn't AJ Burnett start this game?
Some Shit Sox need to get plunked tomorrow. That is all.
