Let's get the score truck warmed up before the drive back to the Bronx.

2 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2012 1:55 pm

"Baseball is here."

Probably the best three word sentence in existence.

3 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:02 pm

I think Josh Lueke should always be introduced as "creepy rapist Josh Lueke"

4 Dimelo   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:12 pm

Wow...BASEBALL IS BACK!!!!

5 Jon DeRosa   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:12 pm

Hope the Yanks make me regret not taking the day off.

6 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:12 pm

Some of these swings don't look great

7 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:13 pm

Well, that does

8 Dimelo   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:13 pm

Good start by Jetes.

9 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:14 pm

Jetes!

10 Dimelo   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:16 pm

12 pitches so far, no outs. Work it mofos!!!

11 Dimelo   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:18 pm

Grandy certainly hit it hard

12 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:20 pm

What's with the shift on Granderson?
Wtf?

13 Jon DeRosa   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:22 pm

[12] The Rays shift more than any team in baseball. I bet Grandy's grounders to the left side of the infield are few and far between.

14 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:25 pm

[5] I did take the last hour off, boss was cool about it.

15 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:30 pm

Weird, IBB in the first inning like this?

16 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:30 pm

I wouldn't walk him.

17 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:33 pm

Oh, Jesus Christ.

18 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:33 pm

Sigh.

19 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:34 pm

I mean, I'm not even surprised that was the outcome.

But Jesus Christ.

20 knuckles   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:34 pm

That is a mildly crappy way to start the year there, CC.

21 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:35 pm

Man, CC put that fucker on a tee.

22 Dimelo   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:35 pm

Did THAT just happen? Man, this is about the time I hit re-set when I'm playing ps3.

23 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:35 pm

Joe Girardi is one of the worst strategic managers I have ever seen. And he thinks he's good, which makes him even more dangerous

24 Dimelo   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:37 pm

[23] I know!!! He's managing this like it's game 7 of the ALCS. Let CC go right after Rodriguez.

25 Matt Blankman   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:37 pm

There is just NO reason to intentionally walk Sean Rodriguez in the first inning of the first game. You just knew Pena would tag one.

26 Dimelo   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:38 pm

There you go A-Rod.

27 Jon DeRosa   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:39 pm

IBB in the first inning of opening day = you're fired.

28 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:39 pm

And people think this mans OBSESSION with handedness and a bullpen with two lefties won't end in disaster

29 NYYfan22   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:40 pm

Well, he really hit the shit outta that one, didn't he?

30 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:42 pm

Get em back one at a time.

31 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:42 pm

Damn it.

I wanted more than one out of this.

Come on, Martin...

32 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:44 pm

I'll take that.

33 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:45 pm

Excellent, Brett.

Stroke it just like that, all season long.

34 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:46 pm

Brett can hit .300 easy if he swings like that.

35 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:48 pm

Ok, Curtis, nice and easy swing...

36 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:49 pm

C'mon Curtis.

37 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:49 pm

Oh, fucking Curtis.

What the fuck was that?

Jesus, that makes me mad.

38 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2012 2:58 pm

Much better inning, CC.

39 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:01 pm

5am..I missed an IBB AND a Grand Salami already??
Whaddayaknow!!

40 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:01 pm

The boys are swinging the baseball bats!!

Nice fucking hit, Alex!

41 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:02 pm

Come on, Teix...

42 seamus   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:02 pm

hey folks! now we are talking. let's go yan-kees!

43 Dimelo   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:02 pm

So far every time ARod has hit the ball it looks like it turns oblong.

44 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:03 pm

Jesus.

45 Dimelo   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:03 pm

Tex, THANKS FOR COMING!

46 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:03 pm

[43] Right?

47 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:06 pm

Damn, that was close.

48 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:06 pm

Creeping back.

49 seamus   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:07 pm

robbie cano!

50 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:07 pm

That was an extremely athletic slide by Robbie.

51 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:08 pm

Holy fuck!

Hell yeah!

52 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:08 pm

Rauuuuuuul!

53 Dimelo   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:08 pm

Ibanez baby!!

54 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:08 pm

[50] Is there anything he can't do?

RAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!

I always did love that signing!!

55 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:09 pm

Right down the pipe.

56 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:09 pm

[54] I know!

57 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:09 pm

Rauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul

58 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:10 pm

Man, that sounded nice off the bat.

Such a pretty sound.

59 Jon DeRosa   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:11 pm

Ibanez, never doubted you (burns incrimimating evidence)

Glad to see Teix continuing his quest to set the all time pop up record. Someone pls tell him that is not a desirable thing.

60 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:11 pm

I love the way Gardner's hitting the ball.

61 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:12 pm

[59] It's infuriating, isn't it?

62 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:12 pm

Third PA for Derek, and it's only the third inning?

63 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:16 pm

Happy Opening Day, gang! I picked my folks up at the airport and watched the first couple of innings at their house. My dad was giving me grief 'cuz I was complaining in the first inning of the first game about that IBB. booooo. Anyhow, I did catch the Sterling call of the Ibanez homer coming home. "Raul.....You're so cool." Ugh.

64 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:18 pm

Evan will do that to ya.

65 Dimelo   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:18 pm

[59] I already see it, however, Ibanez will ride this one homerun for the next 4 weeks.

CC with the cookie to Longoria.

66 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:18 pm

Jesus.

This is out of hand.

CC always sucks for the first month, doesn't he?

67 seamus   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:18 pm

fuck

68 seamus   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:20 pm

lou pinella channeling sterling/waldman there?

69 seamus   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:20 pm

piniella that is.

70 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:23 pm

Ok, we still have the lead, at least.

71 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:27 pm

Man, even when Rob's off balance the fucking ball finds a hole.

72 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:28 pm

MVP year for Robbie?

Lou's voice..never figured out what is accent is..

73 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:33 pm

You need to protect, Mark.

You talked about wanting to go the other way more this season, well, you have to at least fight those off if you're to execute that plan of yours.

74 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:33 pm

It might be worth sitting Teixeira against change up guys

75 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:36 pm

I like this Ibanez guy.

76 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:42 pm

Nice play, Nick!

77 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:44 pm

How the fuck did Swish catch that ball?

Damn, nice!

78 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:48 pm

RBJ, thank you for calling out the IBB before Pena swung.
Imagine me cursing at the radio.

I'm watching now, though.

79 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:49 pm

Sterling's call for Ibanez is: "Raul be seein' ya!" Then he added, "Raul, so cool!"

80 seamus   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:50 pm

i'm glad baseball is back. perfect to work to.

81 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:50 pm

[79] speechless

82 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:52 pm

[79][81] Sterling's consistency is impressive.

83 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:54 pm

[78] Yeah, you just knew something bad was going to happen. First inning of the first game? With your ace on the mound?

84 seamus   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:54 pm

[79] so no eating raul puns then...

85 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:58 pm

Michael Kay is the only man on earth who thought Granderson would catch that

86 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 3:59 pm

Wow, that was a dumb play.

87 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:00 pm

So, when discussing stupid, pointless, Joe Girardi intentional walks, does Rodriguez now pass David Murphy?

88 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:00 pm

Interesting, infield back. I wonder why.

89 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:01 pm

[87] Hm, rating by effect, or by obvious stupidity at the moment?

90 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:03 pm

Wasn't Art Fowler Billy Martin's drinking buddy who stayed in the dugout with him?

91 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:05 pm

Whew! A-Rod like a cat.

92 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:05 pm

[89] Whatever you choose.

I know some people who've forgotten the Murphy walk.

I can't imagine anyone will ever forget the time Joe walked someone in the first inning of the first game of the year, so this may win memorability.

93 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:06 pm

I'm really hoping A-Rod has a big year with the bat and the glove..such a different team if both he and Cano are mashing.

[90] That sounds right, though Martin had a lot of drinking buddies..

94 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:09 pm

Hm.
It's hard to say. Right now the Rodriguez walk just seems so freaking dumb, and obviously the salami makes it sting even more.

95 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:13 pm

Where's Kim?

96 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:14 pm

Oh, weeping.

Who's going to break it to him?

97 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:15 pm

95) She left and is with the NFL Network.

I think John Fillipelli has a thing for blondes.

98 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:18 pm

Gritner!!!!

99 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:18 pm

Nice work, Brett!

100 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:18 pm

Thanks, Jennings!

101 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:20 pm

Noooo!

Really?

Oh, that's so sad.

Jesus.

Why am I never consulted over these matters?

102 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:22 pm

101) I never cared for her much but she did improve each season. I think football has always been her bag, though.

103 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:24 pm

Oh, I liked Kim.
But it was definitely her call, I understand.

104 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:26 pm

Damn, I thought that might fall, off the bat.

Dude was right there.

105 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:26 pm

[102] Really? I just found her so charismatic, very warm.

106 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:31 pm

This is Joe M.'s big problem. Too much managing.

107 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:33 pm

Oh God. Maddon is going to drag Girardi into a bullpen contest.

108 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:34 pm

[106] Yes.

109 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:36 pm

[107] In fact, Girardi's thinking right now, "Bringing in a lefty to walk a lefty, yeah. I'm gonna do in the bottom of the inning."

110 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:38 pm

Derek going for his second grand slam.

111 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:39 pm

The Yankees lead the league in leaving the bases loaded, and are likely to maintain that lead right through September.

112 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:48 pm

C'mon Sori, don't shit the bed willya huh?

113 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:50 pm

That'll do.

114 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:50 pm

Awesome. Very nice.

115 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:50 pm

Sweet, and we avoided mix'n'match.

116 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:51 pm

[115] I think Joe G. is very disappointed. He's cooking up something for the eighth, though.

117 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:51 pm

yay!

118 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:54 pm

[116] I hate the So-Ro-Mo formula..why not let either So or Ro throw two innings?

119 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:56 pm

[116] At least Maddon isn't disappointing us.

120 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:56 pm

[118] Take what we can get. Rapada is lurking.

121 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 4:56 pm

[118] You aren't thinking this through. That way either the EIG would be pitching in the seventh, or the SIG would be pitching in the eighth, and obviously that's impossible.

122 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:00 pm

Good eye, Alex.

123 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:00 pm

Shift that.

124 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:07 pm

Ooooooooohhhhhhh.

125 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:07 pm

Oh damn.

126 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:07 pm

[121] Oh right, of course. Early start has my brain a bit loopy.

Replay??

127 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:08 pm

Wow, great job by Mark. Impressive.

128 Start Spreading the News   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:10 pm

This time Sterling didn't screw up the call. He didn't call it a home run and then change it.

129 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:10 pm

If I was in a division with the Yankees, I'd stress a changeup throughout the organization too.

130 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:14 pm

Damn. Pitch was way high, too.

131 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:18 pm

Fuck.

132 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:19 pm

THROW STRIKES.

133 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:21 pm

GODDAMIT.

134 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:21 pm

Ruh roh.

135 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:21 pm

Wow

136 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:22 pm

Please don't lose to Stephen Vogt

137 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:24 pm

D-Rob has them just where he wants 'em now.

138 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:24 pm

Fucking fuck.

139 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:25 pm

[121] hahahahahahah

140 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:26 pm

[136] Stephen Vogt..not a clue who that guy is.

Tampa's stadium really is ugly..they need one like Marlins Park.

C'mon D-Rob!

141 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:27 pm

WTF?
What a fuckin genius.

142 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:28 pm

Wow..Joe Maddon must have been reading all the "Joe Genius" articles..really over-managing this game.

143 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:28 pm

Masson outsmarted himself

144 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:28 pm

Maddon

145 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:31 pm

Rays fans must use the word "Maddoning" a lot.

146 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:31 pm

The Alabama Hamma!

147 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:31 pm

Joe Maddon, you just got HAMMA-ed.

148 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:31 pm

Yeahhhhhhhhh!!!!

149 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:31 pm

That's what he does. He's the ALABAMA HAMMA.

150 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:31 pm

[144] I think the second, third and fourth letters in [143] were spot on in this situation.

Wow, D-Rob with the escape act!

151 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:31 pm

I have no idea why both these men are managing like this is the World Series

152 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:36 pm

[151] Take one "Binder"â„¢ add one "Genius" (â„¢Tony La Russa), add Opening Day Jitters = Over Managing

153 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:38 pm

I've been saying for years that I wouldn't mind seeing the Yankees squeeze twice a year to keep teams honest. Especially when the only play we ever use is the frigging sac bunt.

I don't think we need to do it at random times, stupid counts or strange batters though

154 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:40 pm

[153] The problem is that if he did it, Girardi would do it at stupid times, strange counts, etc.

But, incredibly, I agree with you about doing it occasionally to keep teams honest.

155 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:41 pm

Hell of an AB Brett

156 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:41 pm

By the way, Maddon is going to be fined for using Rodney when his team is trailing.

157 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:44 pm

60/8 K/BB for Mo last year.
Incredible.

158 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:44 pm

Mo time.

159 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:46 pm

Bunt, please!

160 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:46 pm

Ugh.

161 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:46 pm

?!

162 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:46 pm

I had a bad feeling about this

163 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:46 pm

Ahhhh.....Crud.

164 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:46 pm

Say it ain't Mo.

165 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:46 pm

The first three pitches looked so good!

166 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:47 pm

Yeah, this IBB I can live with.

167 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:47 pm

Would you walk Scott too??

168 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:47 pm

It's always a good bet that Joe will walk someone. And then bunt

169 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:48 pm

Hm. I think I would not do this. But it's a tough call.

170 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:48 pm

What could he Possibly be talking to Nunez about?

171 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:49 pm

Oh, holy mother of Christ he saw the Blue Jays game

172 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:49 pm

Wow. I like it. Nerve-wracking, but I think this is smart.

173 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:51 pm

[172] I did NOT get up in the dark to watch Mo lose Opening Day!! This is most unacceptable.

174 randym77   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:51 pm

Ack. This is killing me.

175 Simone   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:51 pm

Ugh. I can't believe this. It is painful to watch. I'm changing the channel.

176 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:52 pm

One.

177 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:53 pm

The cherry on top would be Nunez blowing the play. Because he's Eduardo Nunez.

178 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:53 pm

I don't believe that's Mo out there. I wonder if they secretly replaced him with a look alike.

179 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:54 pm

Oh well

Argh.

Oh, Mo.

182 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:54 pm

I'm going back to bed.

183 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:54 pm

Crap, crud, mufferflugger.

184 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:54 pm

Shoot.
Fun game, though. If this happened in September I'd have an ulcer.

Dear Rays,

This is game one. Not the World Series.

Bitterly Yours,

AB

Oh well. Tough lost.

187 Simone   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:55 pm

I meant, "Tough loss."

188 thelarmis   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:55 pm

ugh. this is what i come home to?

didn't think the game would be on. been in the studio all day. not feeling well, either.

christ almighty. can we just "passover" this game, please?

[185] I think Girardi thinks it is. He managed like it was.

He's just not very good.

190 RIYank   ~  Apr 6, 2012 5:57 pm

[188] Someone was supposed to paint the mark on Mo's forehead. Whoever missed that assignment is gonna pay.

Mother &^%#@!.

Comcast gacks my internet connection.

Wordpress gacks my password (again - holy blood pressure)

Mo gacks the save

&^$#@!!

Welcome Yankee baseball. CC tries to do the widebody watusi through the raindrops. Robertson reintroduces us to Houdini and to Tums. We leave the bases loaded in three freaking innings. And we wrap it up with a nice stick in the eye. It's only just begun...

193 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2012 6:00 pm

[188] Yes, Happy Passover to all who celebrate the holiday.

194 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 6, 2012 6:00 pm

I'm over the loss already.

Ready for Kuroda.

195 jjmerlock   ~  Apr 6, 2012 6:02 pm

[194] Wish I could say the same. Everything looked so good during the first three pitches to Jennings.

196 thelarmis   ~  Apr 6, 2012 6:11 pm

[191] jj in mid-season form! ; )

[193] have a good seder! i'm ducking out for a nap, can't be sick for long, too much to do...

l'chaim!

One game, it raises an eyebrow. A repeat performance by mo gets the "what's wrong with Rivera" chatter on talk radio going. A third blow up leads to denial, or is it anger? A fourth..... What exactly is the kubler Ross paradigm for a trusted reliever saying adios?

198 jjmerlock   ~  Apr 7, 2012 2:21 am

[196] And don't think that doesn't scare me more than just a little bit!
