Hey everybody - if you haven't read Joe Pos's piece on Yogi that Alex wrote about earlier, go do so now. Pay attention in particular to the last couple of sentences. It gave me a good laugh during a hellacious day, and I bet you'll laugh too.
[1] Are you sure you want to subject yourself to an AJ start after a "hellacious day"?
[2] If I can survive what I've survived the last few days, and so far I have, even Bad AJ can't stop me.
I might punch a hole in my monitor before its over, though.
At least Morgan didn't steal 3rd. : /
I wear my sunglasses at night.
Awesome catch. Awesome double play!
Nice play. I heart defense.
Man, that was beautiful.
Tulowitski scored the winning run from first on a bloop single to centerfield last night. The CF had his heels on the warning track 410 feet away before the pitch. It was crazy.
These two crack me up. I think Flash has taken a cue from O'Neill concerning antagonizing Kay.
A beautiful NY night. Tough to get excited by these games with the team from the city that Pabst made famous. But...Philly currently beating the Sox and Lackey, so it would be nice to extend the lead.
Philly is playoff scary.
3 double plays through 4. Not too shabby.
Who's driving the score truck?
Holy fuck did he hit the wall hard.
Maybe I'm a homer...but Curtis would have had that. Morgan appears to be seeing stars at the moment.
Girardi said before the game that the one thing hitters have to do against this guy is not try to pull the ball. Let's see what happens...
[11] The Brewers are a good team this year. Leading their division. And the division is pretty good this year, too. Even the lowly Pirates won their series with the Bosox.
Beep-beep!
And yes, he did hit that hall bard.
Er, wall hard.
Roll on, Jorgie!
Love these long at-bats!
[21] Hahah!
Hod damn. 3 run homer >sac fly even though it's a rally killer.
Way to justify my all-star ballot, Martin!
Coltrane tater!! Yippeee!
So I take it AJ hasn't given back the lead just yet...
Arod a little owned tonight. Will the average stay above 300?
And R. Coltrane needed that. I think his back and the grind has wore him down. He will rebound. Tough mofo.
Lucroy-odd name.
Just got home. Heard Sterling call the fourth. "Russell shows Muscle! Mr. Martin et la!" That fuggin guy actually said that shit. I was on the bus and started laughing.
Damn, that was impressive!
Oh, and from last year and that horseshit when he was with the Nats...fuck Morgan.
[30] Hahahah! Hahah!
What are you gonna do?
Uch.
AJ pitching to too much contact.
Damn! Great play Alex. That's some throw.
Fuck, that Alex Rodriguez can play the baseball.
Lackey pitching well, and doubled in the only and tying run for Boston.
Me smellum grand slam
Me happy to be wrung
That Mark Teixeira is no slouch at the other corner, himself.
Jeez, Hart took a vicious hack there.
Dag, I thought Alex just lolipopped that into the outfield. Whew.
That throw scared me, but it worked out.
Before the ball left his hand he just looked too casual about it.
[39] Tonto was wrong sometimes too.
[43] I know, right? What was that?
Braun=Landsman
Ohhh, Jorgie.
All I can do is crack up.
I don't even get mad anymore.
Oh Po...but that was a HR.
That's a dinger. Hard catch for that dude, because it short hopped him. But you got to let it come to you, hit you in the chest and bounce down. Easier said than done when you have a line drive coming right at you.
Mike thinks this is tough. Flaherty think it's easy. Flaherty knows baseball. Kay knows announcing. Easy call. Dinger.
Sure looks like a HR.
Looks like a HR to me.
And they get the call right. Jorgie is redeemed.
Good.
That was funny.
Hip Hip!
C'mon Bodie, jack another!
Heck of a nice job by AJ.
Good AJ.
Ho Ho, Sox lose.
Whoa, AJ stays in...he go batter to batter here?
Man, everything about that looked knuts from Nunie.
"We'll see how they score that???"
Decide what? E6. Friggin' Nunez!
[61] ONE run in 18 innings for the "best offense in baseball"!
I fear Robbie is due for a bad outing.
One out. Good job.
[67] Hopefully not tonight.
Nasty 0-1 curve.
Chedder. NICE.
[67] Bite your tongue!
Smoke, then does Fielder a favor with at curve.
Oh YEAH
Nasty!
Ha!
I love that he swung at that 1-0!
First two cutters look slower than on Sunday.
Location, location, location. One out.
Ohh, fuck, I wanted that 0-2!
Backwards K.
:))
Good Night, Sir. Two out.
Betancourt has no chance.
93mph.
I fucking fell asleep on the couch on Sunday around the fifth and missed Mo!
How hard was he throwing?
Mariano Rivera, ladies and gentlemen.
All Rise.
All praise be to Mo.
Outstanding.
Mo Am Wunnerful. Night all.
Kim!
He just asked you not to tell him!
Good grief .... Orgies Timer is back in pinstripes!

[90] Lucky him. Oi!
[90] Sometimes I can't stand this organization. Why do I have a feeling that Phil Hughes is now destined to be the EIGHTH INNING GUY™?
