Sorry for the late game-thread.

Would be nice to take this series. I think Chatwood is going to fair better than Richards, though.
12 pitch at-bat for swisher, but chatwood wins the battle. hope he tired him out for chavez.
was not expecting an IBB.
just loaded up gameday.
looks like mike scoscia took the same class as girardi on ibb.
i'm going to have to look at this more closely, but it seems bart is walking more batters recently.
for a time there he was basically walking no one.
Rats!
I know its not a "major" award per se, but Bart has to be a mortal lock for AL Comeback Player, right??
[7] Yeah, unless ESPN decides Ellsbury should get it, I guess.
Oish.
That was a BP pitch.
Cano could roll outta bed and zip a ball 90 feet to hit the snooze on an alarm clock.
Anybody know all the phaser settings? And why do the Yanks only have "kill" and "off" when it comes to URPs? Why not a "stun" every now and again?
curtis adjusts to setting 5.2, "smash"
Be nice to put it away here...
[13] I was being nice. It didn't work.
Geez, I forgot it was a one o'clock start.
[8] I actually think fan voting factors into it a little bit
[16] I guess. It seems like ESPN just anoints someone.
seems like fernando rodney has been around for ever - especially for a middle reliever.
Playing for one in the seventh inning? Ugh.
The Chessmaster!
[19] See, you were disgusted. Now Russell Martin comes in to run, and you're just confused.
The Chessmaster!
[21] i'm confused.
[21] Now I try to be amused.
What the hell is going on?
My mlb.tv cut out, and I look at Gameday and it has Jeter batting from the left side.
Oh, he walked?
[24] castling.
gardner seems better at bunting lately?
[26] Hah! Perfect.
Damn, I wonder if any of those pitches to Curtis was in the strike zone.
yay to those fundamentally sound angels.
time to rip.
Let's keep Cano on the team, what do you say?
Well, dowdee do da day!
rip it. rip it good.
cano driving the score truck!
Totally set up by the sacrifice, too!
Scoreless inning turned into a grand slam. Not bad...
rippity do dah, rippity day
Funny, as the Yanks came to bat Michael Kay was saying that maybe we had not yet seen the Star of the Game.
rip the light fantastic, what a long strange rip its been
Hamma time.
Bobby Abreu, you are the nail.
What's the matter, Torii, don't see anything you like?
Torii Hunter, you are the nail.
Throw the change-up!
[40] U Can't Touch This?
Yes, Mark Trumbo, you too.
Three Angels dancing on the head of a pin... but the pin just got Hammered.
That girll in the last Corona commercial...♋
[40-46] Love it!
Come on, Cory, get serious now.
[48] D-Rob gets me excited.
Oh, it's a Save situation! I lost track. (And my mlb.tv is not functioning at all now, dammit.)
Now I can see again.
I don't think I'm gonna get mlb.tv next year.
Now I wish I couldn't see.
I don't like this at all. WTF?
Thanks be to Mo.
Arguably the worst S he's ever notched, but I give thanks anyhow.
He could use a week off, no?
Mo Saves (and thankfully, so does Jesus).
I'm still not worried at all about Mo. His velocity is exactly where its been the past 5 years, a few cutters have just tailed too far in to LH hitters with power. It happens, if he were throwing 88 or something that would be one thing but this looks like shit luck and bad location more than anything to me.
