My goodness, there's a naked photograph of Joe DiMaggio on the Internet! Morris Engelberg is not happy about it.

actually, per lohud, martin was scratched - lower back stiffness. frankie brains is in and batting 9th. gritner moved up to 8th...

Its time to call up Montero. Martin is barely playing, and Cervelli is unacceptable.

[3] I just read saw this at Pinstriped Bible by Jay Jaffe.
The 21-year-old catcher missed four games last week and is frustrated because he doesn’t think he’s been playing enough.
• Batting coach Butch Wynegar says, “He’s pressed a bit lately, trying to hit home runs,” and thinks that Montero has gotten a bit pull-happy, an assessment with which Montero disagrees.
• Wynegar didn’t mince words about Montero’s focus. Money quote: “There are no doubts about his tools. But he’s such a good hitter that he sometimes takes hitting for granted… he’s so confident in his ability that, mentally, sometimes he wavers a bit. A part of me thinks he’s a little bored here. He thinks he’s just passing through. But he still doesn’t understand how tough it is at the big-league level, especially the mental adjustments.”
• More: “He’s still a little bit immature. He has to grow up a little bit. But the tools are there. Monty is going to be as good as he wants to be. If he wants to be a monster, he’ll be a monster.”

Six!

C'mon on forfuck's sake!

facepalm!

Good AJ.

Yay, more base runners!
It doesn't matter whether they score.

Does it?

So, if Montero isn't ready, what about Romine? Because, yeah, enough with the cute kid.

Great ab, Frankie. Crud!

[9] Think of them as moral victories -- i.e., shit.

Game doesn't get decided by left on base, fellas.

2 innings. 0-6 RISP. Annoyed.

[12] Isn't "Total Base Runners" the first tie-breaker?

[14] Maybe, I thought it was "grittiness" which was David Eckstein hung around for so long.

Driven deep.

and so it begins...

What the hell kind of throw was that?

nice aj

Was that "deep fly ball" hit 300 feet?

well, jeter will lead off the next inning. that usually bodes well!

what about bobby meachem and rafael santana?! i mean, they're top 10 all-time shortstops. no?

minka is lookin' mighty FINE up there, in the press box...

oh no. please don't be hurt, derek. : (

dear espn,

please show minka more!

thanks,
t-mis

And really, why would we think the Yankees would hit a mediocre changeup artist they've never seen?

bollocks. we're totally letting this kid off the hook.

and now he's making sutcliffe look good with that "if he can get outta this, he can throw 5 or 6 shutout innings" bullshit. Sut's a douche.

Oh no

motherfucker.

jeter's out of the game.

FUCK!!!!!

nice play Tex!

i'm kinda tired of people around the game saying his defense is overrated and he's barely an average fielder. his glove is golden, baby!

early speculation on jetes is it's a calf injury...

jesus, alex. what a crappy at-bat.

morning fellers.

what happened to Jeter?

[30] We'll have to find out where OYF poked his Jeter voodoo doll. ; )

of course, the 4-letter network puts a fucking boston homer as the main announcer. and then pairs him up w/ Sut. yeesh...

What I miss?? Still no Score Truck sightings?

Francisco Cervelli fucking sucks

Waldman: Jeter has a sore right calf.

jesus. another wild pitch strikeout. runner reached...

i hate when that happens to us.

barry foote would be a better choice than frankie brains, at this point...

[37] well, then Sterling said sore left calf. So it's one of those two.

lohud has right calf. i'll go with that.

unless it's Manny. then, it could be neither one!

The Yanks O must not waste this good performance from AJ.

If nothing else, this game is moving along.

I bet the Twins would take Cervelli in a heartbeat. I wonder what they could give us back (a bag of balls)?

[35] let's see...

bases loaded, no outs in the 1st. no runs
2 on, no outs in the 2nd. no runs.
high pitch count early on for Cy Carrasco. he's still pitching.
jeter got 1 hit. now he's hurt.
minka kelly looks *fabulous*
espn announcer is from boston and isn't shy about it.
sutcliffe is a moron.

i think that about covers it...

n jlo;,.p[]f=,omjlkt862.lk;o]?{,ik87vf4ook;lp

boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Fucking retard.

[35] oh yeah,

cervelli is completely useless

good job, gritner. that's really good baseball.

STOP BUNTING!!!

.196? Frankie is hitting .196?

[44] Thanks thelarmis!
So bascially Minka was the highlight and Sutcliffe the lowlight of the game then?

Francisco Cervelli has compromising photos of Brian Cashman. That's the only possible explanation.

i could strike cervelli out. with 1 pitch. and then my arm would fall off...

[49] minka is definitely the highlight!

i'd say jetes getting hurt is by and far the low-light. : (

I just don't get that Brett. You are a frustrating man to watch play baseball.

[1] There's one of The Mick, too. And he carries a much bigger bat than Joltin' Joe.

[51] with 1 pitch. haha

[52] And then he'd pose and stare at you.

i love lou brock. looking forward to the captain passing him...

Kay went to Bronx Science? .... feh!

(Stuyvesant grad here)

aj really is throwing a gem.

[60] This kind of reminds me of the Bullington game, with a better pitcher

[59] did you see neil peart's drum solo on letterman last week? it was thursday nite, methinks.

1 more out AJ...

[62]

its in my youtube queue :-)

Its just a small miracle that Cervelli fucking caught the ball there.

[64] i should've known! my brother really liked it. i thought it was really crappy, but that's just me. i love neil dearly, but i've never really liked his solos. just a professional opinion, nothing bad...

aj did good. our offense did the opposite of that...

Man, AJ went 8 vs. the White Sox in April and gave up 1 run. He lost that one, too.
He doesn't need another hard luck loss.

[66] did he quote the rhythm method thing with the woodblocks?

deet deet, doot doot. deet deet, doot doot. deet deet, doot doot, doo, dowt dowt, bloot bloot, digidigide. (etc)

[69] i know *exactly* which part you speak of! i dig that part : )

nope, didn't quote that. he was forced to cut out his current 8 minute solo in half. took out all improv parts and some other stuff. he still has sections from the past, but some new stuff, too. it's really rather insipid...

Remember when Adrubal Cabrera used to wear a pearl necklace? He looked like Lisa Simpson.

amazing that the shit sox didn't play tonight, yet still scored in the double digits. fat fuk hit a 7-run homer in the 1st AND 2nd inning...

[71] i call him "ass dribble".

um, now i have a comment awaiting moderation. didn't say anything too bad. plus, i thought we could curse here now. hell, i didn't even spell the curse word correctly and word press STILL dicked me over... : /

I want Sipp to face Nick ....
"Sipp .... Swish ... then spit"

damn you, brantley!

Hey Michael Kay, you fucking imbecile, when one fielder has his glove up and is waving off the other one, HES PROBABLY GONNA CATCH IT.

good ab, alex.

c'mon cano!

crap.

dan uggla has a 181/254/325 slash line here in atlanta. and let's just say he doesn't play the keystone as smoothly as robbie.

OUCH!

I smell a pie! Let's go COMEBACK!

they need to show a different camera view of the check swing. it did NOT look like he went. and we know cb bucknor is a CRAPPY ump...

Ugh.

christ almighty.

argh

that was just an annoying 3 hours
