Yanks and Angels this afternoon at the Stadium. It’s still hot and muggy. Fab Five Freddy’s on the hill and I suspect the ball will be flyin’ over the fences.

Never mind last night’s win, how ’bout another?

Not a promising start.
Cheap hit, but I'll take it.
Robbie!
How the hell does Fred have three strikeouts? He looks like crap.
NO PLAYS. Dammit.
Chris Stewart: Demon on the Basepaths.
Take that, Paulie!
Curtis!
[7] Yeah, it was good timing -- just as Paul was saying Curtis "just doesn't look comfortable..."
I'm getting annoyed with this Trout fellow.
I'm getting annoyed with this Garcia fellow.
Didn't you used to be Albert Pujols?
Nice catch Nick!
5 innings from Freddy
Some insurance
Good job Eppley!
[13] + 2 from Cody. Two good ones.
Now let's get one more and hand D-Rob a nice cushion.
Man, came home home to a 5-3 lead and saw Eppley finish his second scoreless inning. NICE!
I sincerely wish Cone and O'Neill called every game.
[16] No mix'n'match! I love it.
Bang.
Bang bang.
Ooh, good swing.
Okay, one to go David.
There ya go.
The Alabama Hamma, looking good.
Oh. Robbie.
No Mo, so Ro, So go.
Thanks for playing, Albert.
Bravo, bullpen!
Beating the angels sure is sweet. Nice win. 2 out of 3 was the pre-series goal. Time to think SWEEP!
Laptop shut down the Rays for two innings, but they've broken through in the third on two singles and a sac fly (after an abortive squeeze attempt). Sox can't hit Price either, a real pitcher's dual so far.
Wild one in Baltimore. Both closers blow saves.
and tampon takes the lead!
though not sure how... (this is where you come in, RI!)
[30] Ortiz singles, Young Will Middlebrooks homers.
Oh, sorry, I misread. Tampa scored on a sac fly, as I said -- but now Boston has taken the lead.
and of course the shit sox now have the lead...
ugly's young replacement with a dinger.
Sox load'em up with one away on three singles. (Brent Lilibridge is a terrible baseball player, but he singled hard of David Price.)
Ah, the inexplicable Pedro Ciriaco (three straight 3-hit games!) flies to right, and the sloth-like Kelly Shoppach is thrown out at home.
Tigers retake the lead.
Orioles homer in bottom of thirteenth. Tied again.
bal-det: holy crap!
RI - i love baseball and am glad i get to watch the braves often. there's just no way i'd be able to stomach watching those scumsucking shit sox on a regular basis. that said, thanks for the updates! TB has a man on 2nd, no outs...
[38] I enjoy watching them this year! Plenty of losing.
Rays score on an error (after a dumb sac bunt).
walk off 2 run homer for the Orioles. 8-6
[39] nice. i hear ya...
[40] hmmm. how 'bout that...
3 pies for Teagarden.
Are we really concerned about the Orioles?
I guess it would be nice to get a double-digit lead in the Division.
[43] They do seem to have some fight in them this year. But since they've been so bad for so long, it's kind of nice to see.
i'm not concerned about the boids in the least.
i am, however, NOT counting out boston. they always scare me...
...and for good reason. that tie game didn't last long.
boston leads...
laptop losing his command in the 7th.
matt albers relieves laptop. 2nd & 3rd, 1 out.
darvish whirling the ball around in the 1st...
4-3 TB.
1st/3rd, 2 out, pitching change...
Good win for the Rays.
