Wait, who is playing left? Oh, man. This could be a long night.

Sheeeeeit, I'll take any motherfucker's money if he GIVIN' IT AWAY!!

Between LeBron on one channel and Eduardo Nunez: LEFTFIELDER! on the other I'm gonna need a stiff drink.

High Noon is playing left.
Adventurous.

What...

My bet is he fields the position better than Ibañez.

Hey, one nose is as good as another.

all you ungrateful bitches trying to throw me from the boat.

Per Boston Globe: the Red Sox at home have a team OPS of .898.
The A's have a team OPS of .597.

[5] My bet is you field the position better than Ibañez, RI.

Has it really come to this? Ibañez in RF and Nunez in LF? There had to be a way to get another OF on the 25-man roster until Gardner gets back (we pray) on Thursday. Right? Garcia has got to be hurt, right, that's why he's pitching so poorly, see? You DL him, move Pineda to the 60 day DL to open a spot on the 40 man, and then add Dickerson or Wise. When Garcia comes back, option the extra OF down. That's why those guys are in AAA, right?

Gee, I hope Kuroda keeps the balls on the ground tonight.

Yeah. Dickerson would be a huge upgrade, huh?

I actually know the physics of tracking a fly ball. It's amazing. For some reason it doesn't make me into a great outfielder. (I'd be happy to explain it to Raul, though -- my consulting fee is very reasonable.)

Well, that was nice.
So, we have three good pitchers, now. Maybe. Knock on wood.

Nunez! This is going to be an adventure.

[11] Nuñe7!

Those two waste pitches to Jones sure paid off

[12], What, already??

Ugh.

Jesus fucking christ

I could have caught that. How did he ever start in the OF?

Nunez > Ibanez tonight.

These guys should watch how Murcer fielded. They go back WAY too slowly. Go back to the WALL guys!

Wait..Ibanez in RF and Nunez in LF?? WTF??!

[18] See? [5] (almost).

I can't look at Betemit without bringing back terrible memories of Girardis fetish with him

Why is Andruw Jones not playing the field instead of Ibanez?? How many more bad plays will it take? No blame for Raoooooool, he's trying his best. But he can't field!!!! WAHAHAHA!

That was a foul ball

Just got in front on the TeeVee. How is Nuney doing in the OF?

And something good or bad for the Yanks will involve Betemit. It always does. He's the Dennis the Menace of Mr Wilsons.

Sheeeeiiittt is right. I don't think I've come home to turn on the game this year without the Yankees losing. WTF!

Yikes. 13 pitchers, so Nunez can play LF?

[23] Because Himmel is right-handed.
[25] He made a good play, actually.

That'll do

Sweet. At least it didn't last long. Go Chavez!

Eric Fucking Chavez. Who expected him to contribute like this?

[21] Got any lotto picks?

[28] Can't they sacrifice Raoooool's bat for Andruw's glove? Who cares if he Ks 4 times as long as he brings the D..

[31] Always liked Chavez. Shame about all the injuries.

[20] That fact just sunk in for me...danger, danger.

Lots of runs needed.

[33] Yeah, you might be right about that (Andruw's glove more important than Raul's bat). Girardi really loves platooning this year, huh?

Nice play, Tex.

Dear Mo. Put a tent on the circus!

Oh, jeez. He's doing okay, but he's going to give me a heart attack.

Nunez will need to change his underwear soon.

Kuroda is looking pretty good now. Didn't have good command in the second, but good now.

Laptop has already coughed up a run to the .597 OPS Oakland A's.

Oh, but Papi homered, I missed that.
Don't hate me for saying it, but I wish Cashman had made a run at Ortiz. What a freaking bat.

[41] Outrage!
But fans would be way more upset than any of the players..these guys all pals. Imagine Robbie and Papi clowning on the bench after back to back taters..

[41] This time last year the respective fans were hoping Jeter and Big Papi would open a B&B together in retirement bliss.

Heh. Yeah, Rob would be pleased. And I can't imagine Jeter would object.
The fans would get over it once Papi's 1.200 OPS sunk in. Oh, and I hear he can play a little outfield...

[43] Yeah, that's true. They could bond over that.

[44] And give Girardi the chance to have an outfield of Nunez, Ibanez and Ortiz?

Calling Chris Dickerson, Chris Dickerson. Report to the Greyhound Terminal immediately.

[46] Awesome! An all ______z outfield! Although Victor Martinez would be better. An all ____nez outfield. Or maybe get Magglio Ordóñez to come back for an all ___ñez outfield.

[48] Excellent!

Kuroda's body language and presence much better tonight.

[48] All those z's are making me sleepy...

EVening, Team.

Nice hit there by Derek.

Put it in your pocket, Curtis.

[48] Awesome!
[51] Their Defenze adventures would keep you awake.

Kuroda looking good? Or is it the O's?

Cano Posada'ed that running play.

Delmon Young gets a 7 game suspension by MLB. Comes back on Friday.

Uncool Raul.

Btw, in case you guys didn't know, today is International Jazz Day! http://jazzday.com/ Herbie Hancock speaking live right now at that link.

I'll be tweeting out jazz classics all day for you beginners, come check it out (If you're on Twitter or FB!)

[56] I guess he won't be lighting candles this Friday.

He shouldn't have thrown that pitch three times in a row.

Woo hoo my copy of Damn Yankees has shipped, supposed to arrive Thursday.

I don't think the problem was that it spilled over to the middle of the plate too much, Kenny, I think the problem was Markakis had just seen it twice in a row and was ready for it.

Granderson is a very good outfielder.

At least we've got one outfielder.

He's so smooth out there.

Remember how lost Damon was out there towards the end?

rah roh...

[58] Ah, all those ___z guys are for jaZZ day!

He's out!

I'm getting rather fond of this Kuroda fellow.

Kuroda= baseball player!

That was nice. And scary.

[71] It's adventure night at the stadium.

Kuroda blocks the plate better than Posada...

There was play like that in my game today. Except the runner was safe because the catcher threw it over the catcher's head and the guy who had been on 2nd scored too. U.G.L.Y.

No, do not stay with Kuroda.

No, no and no.

So Yankee Orioles games don't have to go 4 hours?

Shit. I've got feed-fuck now. I blame it on Kate Smith.

Kuroda should start the 8th. D-Rob can't pith unless the bases are loaded anyway.

What's with the grass seed wars?

Ooops. That should have been "pitch". Nevermind.

David Robertson can break the scoreless innings streak?

Really, John Smoltz?

[76] You are tempting the fates.

Can you imagine being Mark Reynolds and the determination is made that you're a worse third baseman than Wilson Betemit?

D-Rob.

[31] it's all in the power of the name Eric.

and the fucking shit sox have scored double digit runs...again. : /

Nasty, Dave. Nasty.

[84] Happy Jazz Day, thelarmis! Check out the UN concerts after the game!

Damn.

What a fucking impressive inning.

Right to the glove, consistently.

alabama hamma!

HAMMERED.

BANG BANG BANG, bitches.

Give unto Mo one more run, please. Collection plate coming around.

[87] thanks man, you too! a friend texted me about a concert at the monk institute website.

no time, i'm afraid. just got done teaching and about to go grab grub. tonight's music project is going through my 2nd cd with a fine tooth comb. last minute tweaks and mastering on friday's studio session...

Oh, man, that's right. No wonder Chavez rocks, thelarmis.
And the A's really suck. When do we get to play them?

Robertson ☢

[91] Amo

[93] memorial day weekend, in oaktown. i'll be in asheville, nc that weekend...

[96] Oh, I know people in Asheville!

Sven.

I dislike Showalter, but he's a good manager.

yeah, i don't get why nunE-everyposition is in the outfield and andruw is on the bench. didn't GI Joe switch andruw to left the other day so 7-string guitar (ibanez) could play right? stronger arm should be in right...

[97] yes, Sven is a great guy. he's going to be our personal tour guide at the Biltmore.

skol!
