I'm stuck with the Indians broadcast team.
That ball certainly carried
[1] Yeah, me too.
Jays are already beating the daylights out of Felix Dubront.
Missed it by thismuch.
A single! Inches from a HR.
(1-3) So far you missed a 10 minute discussion between Kay and Oneill on "the Yankees hit too many home runs" meme.
Damn we almost had another one too many there.
Hope we didn't just lose 2 runs
Nope
Hit with RISP! Two runs!
Holy shit a 2 run double!
Sigh.
Mancrush.
Even if he is kind of a dope. (Actually trying for third wasn't crazy.)
[7] Funny enough, that's exactly what the Indians team is talking about. They're kind of boring.
The last Yankee to hit a 2 run double was Mike Stanley it seems.
[7] Yeah, I guess we can probably do without that.
Thank god Teix didn't homer -- that would have been a rally-killer! As opposed to Rob making an out at third base.
Ha! I was in the wrong thread!
Great ropes by both Teix and Rob but Robbie really needs to run out of the box and not stand there admiring his handiwork.
The Blue Jays take the field in the first inning with a 4-0 lead.
Damn, Rob is intent on making up for yesterday, huh?
Missed the scoring. What happened?
[19] Jetes out on 9 pitches. Curtis walked on 10 pitches. Pitcher getting antsy. Teix ripped a liner off the top of the wall so hard he only got a single. Then Rob crushed a double scoring both but caught trying to take third on the throw home.
35 pitches.
The Indians announcers claim that Cleveland was in on the bidding for Youkalis. Odd. They weren't willing to offer more than, well, nothing? They wouldn't take on more than 15% of the salary? How interested were they?? The announcers wish they'd got Youk.
(20) nice job, RI. Also of note, the Indians deployed an extreme shift on Grandy. 3b playing straight up the middle. And the official ruling on the Yankees rally is now 2 solo shots, so correct yor score cards accordingly.
Nice hop
See ya!
Oh my god.
Dewayne Wise???
OOF.
That went out in a hurry
Whatta Wiseguy!
Wow, when you see the replay of the pitch it's no longer unbelievable that Wise hit it out.
Boo too many home runs! Boo! We're doomed!
[29] No, it means we're allowed to win now!
Jetes can still do that
i'm home and watching the espn2 feed.
AC was out at the studio today. NOT fun!!! tomorrow at the school, the AC will be like the tundra. can't win.
but the yanks homered, so they can!
BOOM!
Scary.
Robbie can do that.
O'Neill with the coolest call of the year
what a beautiful swing. sweet and quiet.
[37] Like a clarinet.
Pop.
I can live with two runs every inning.
batting practice.
[38] i love the clarinet.
when i had to play it in college, it was not sweet...or quiet. trying to cross the break with the register key, i produced nothing short of a horrifying sound. if you listen to the orchestral version of "musica de la noche", you'll hear plenty of clarinet. and i love me some eddie daniels!
meanwhile...
SWISH!!!
and 7-string guitar working on his OBP.
oh yeah, leave him in!
i'm just seeing at lohud that johnny got his own roll call. very cool. i have the first 1.5 innings on dvr, will watch later...
sutcliffe is insufferable.
[46] I can only imagine he's still saying Jason Varitek should be AL MVP
The Jays look like the Yanks did yesterday, giving back their lead on errors.
not a fan of the back-to-back walks to begin the inning.
and where the hell did everyone go???
[47] yes, he's talking about shit sox players every chance he gets! fat liar, middlebrooks... and that annoying inflection in his delivery.
[49] Had to let the dogs in.
Double play. Ok, pop up.
very nice, kuroda!
[51] is it crazy hot & humid by you, too?
What's Ruben Sierra up to these days?
Nothing you can do about that. Fine play.
ah, crap.
no clue on sierra. his name doesn't come up often with the 'roids talk (anymore)...
[53] Nope, actually quite pleasant. Able to turn AC off and open windows today.
Sounds like I'm missing a laugher. The wife must watch the olympic swimming trials. She sez something like, the Yankees play everyday...olympics every four years. I can't argue, and I don't want to be lying in the bed watching the other TV.
Cano doing his hail Marys making up for yesterday?
great job, kuroda!
Ma-ma-ma-ma Kuroda!
Nice and easy.
c'mon blow jays!
damn : /
Jetes better get a hit tonight, or he falls below .300 (I know this is probably a non-sequitur, but I'm not watching the game).
siddown, ass dribble!
Have a seat.
[63] yeah, i was just thinkin' that he's about to drop below .300
great job of espn to NOT show the strike out pitch.
dumbasses.
if we keep the runs and hits the way they are and record 6 errors, our line score will be very much to my liking!
6 6 6
thankfully this "Cy" Barnes guy didn't start, otherwise we'd be URP'ed.
[68] I'm going to have to mention this at our next Kabbalah for Cano meeting.
Wise move by GI Joe!
Dang, he's fast. I didn't think that was a triple, but Dewayne sure did.
[70] ok. i can make that meeting!
Arencibia (super cool name, unlike "Ass Dribble") gives the Jays the lead again!
oh, and Wise was out at 3rd...
Blue Jays back on top 7-5. Would love to see Boston finish in last place.
Arencibia two-run shot, Jays take the lead.
Oh, jeez, I wasn't even close to being first with that news, huh?
[76] Gotta be quick round here.
YEAH!
nice play, cap!!!
Got him!
Kid can play, no doubt.
great work, hiroki!
Shutout intact.
[58] Swimming trials? They show that on tv?
7th inning already! I missed all the fireworks.
Yay! Well done, Jetes.
captain amassing more hits!
tomorrow, he catches up to me, age-wise...
[85] Wow!
I wonder when he'll catch up to me. It's gonna take a few more years, for sure.
gotta swing at that, curtis.
Ouch!
ugly is just as ugly in pale hose. and that batting stance. oy vey.
jesus. not Tex's hand. FUCK! that's gotta hoit...
um, take him outta the game.
Bautista hangs two more on the Sox.
Whew, got in first this time!
[91] dogs needed to go out again.
[90] nice!
[91] but you haven't mentioned the fact that the game is in a rain delay.
[92] i was actually first on the last one! : )
I guess we'll find out who Joe considers to be the mop-up guy.
It's Rapada, obviously.
[93] Yeah, it wasn't in rain delay when I commented! Not raining here so I don't think it will end the game.
shoulda been the Chief. seems like he doesn't pitch much nowadays...
Swisher!
wow. nice play, swish!
shutout still in tact!
[98] Tactless.
another nice play, swish.
shutout no longer in tact.
i'm out to go pick up dinner. i'll be back in time to see Mo pitch. oh, wait...
Dang shut out gone, good play Nick.
[99] couth. i have none.
but soon i'll have asian noodles!
Oh, very nice.
Hm, I just realized, Thelarmis, these clubs have Coltrane and Santana for catchers (though the former not today). Good start for a band. Oh, if it's Alice Coltrane, maybe even better! Illuminations.
[96] You got what you wanted in the ninth.
Nice, easy victory. Yay!
good night all.
nice!
good night all
[106] got me this time! ; )
