Ohhh. That pic makes me very nostalgic. I used to play there as a kid.
I expect us to score big today. And GO PHIL!
Dumbass.
It was dumb... but he was safe.
McCarver's really hard to take.
[4] Even without Joe Buck, yeah.
Damn, Phil throwing strikes and getting it done.
... how the ball ignites out of the hand of Phil Hughes.
K, Hughsie, settle down.
Cano with some hops!
Yeah, Rob!
[9] He's like a good IPA.
Sweet catch!
Every day, this Robinson Cano guy.
That shortstop is a bungler.
Gibson always sounds like a sociopath.
Hip hip!
Hey Ho! Whadda ya know! The old man!
That's a good luck for the kid, with the gum sticking out of his mouth like that.
I should lay off him. Tim says he's a Yankee fan.
Oh, nice. Good luck = good look.
Phil heating up.
Yes, I'm sure it's a surreal moment.
What a wordsmith.
"He just got a lucky hit off of him."
Hahahah!
I like this guy.
God, it's painful. "I just want to watch my son play baseball in Yankee Stadium, and this jackass won't leave me alone."
(Those were Steve H's thoughts. I read them easily.)
Cano is a GREAT hitter.
Did you see that?
[23] Hahahah! Right?
Good pitch. That change-up is deadly if he can set it up.
That was a good changeup.
Fuck, it's almost like I'm rooting for this kid now.
Fuck him and his family.
Make it look easy, Swish!
[29] Hahah.
Why didn't Teix throw? On the replay it looks like he easily had the lead runner.
Phil's getting squeezed here.
[32] He isn't getting low strikes called. Aside from that, it's a pretty accurate strike zone.
[33] Agreed. It just looked like the first two balls on the last batter were above the knees.
Hmmmmm. This #20 kid looks pretty good.
Gosh, the Rays' dugout is real tense, huh?
Phil getting stronger as the game progresses.
The way Phil is pitching, wonder whether Girardi would really bite the bullet and send Burnett to the pen.
EDSP! No way!
Fucking Curtis. He's ridiculous.
Rob does everything.
HIP HIP!!!!!
That was gratifying. Damn.
Howdy folks finally made it to Lake Gaston and logged into wi-Di. And to see Jorge do dat
Isn't it fitting that on a day the Yankees honored Derek Jeter for his 3000th hit, the story of today is the man who made sure he was the first teammate to greet the Captain at home plate that day?
Di = fi
Good timing, rbj. Bad typing, but good timing.
Betcha Burnett is smiling at this inning so far
Thousands upon thousands of words spilled on the guys demise this week. Then he steps between the lines and for one afternoon says shove it. Sports are great that way.
She's hot, this Mrs. D-Rob.
RIYank, it is the Touchpad, has to learn wi-fi. For a wireless device.
[49] Yes, it seems like D-Rob has done very well for himself all around, huh?
One more hit for Jorge here would be fun.
I missed the salami. Good for Jorgie, he got a curtain call.
At the very least, the man should feel beloved of the fans.
ha ha
That ball should have been caught.
Omg.
.229?
How wacky is that?
32 game hitting streak and the dude is hitting .229.
You just can't predict baseball.
I don't know if it was here or on RAB, but someone suggested something fantastic.
On the last Home game as YS, after the Yanks take the field for the last inning... a substitution should be announced, and Posada should come out and Catch the last inning.
I imagine the ovation would bring Po to near tears.
56 yes
I think Damon's postseason performance should be a lock for him.
[56] Yes.
Uh, Tim, your should have said "inconceivable" not "inconsiderable" as to the Yankee bullpen
Nice win. Phil looked good, Jorge was awesome.
So who's goin to the pen?
Burnett tomorrow, Garcia hurt? Guess we can concede 20% of the remaining games
56) You're a softie after all.
