salinger. nice.
Rain, I take it?
[2] War expected. With eskimos.
for some reason, the espn scoreboard says this game is on tbs. it is not. if it was, i would upset about the rain delay and the fact that i have to get ready for work now...
GO YANKS!!!
Charge it, Alex. Yikes! Terrible play.
DH him! ; )
Go Hiroki!
1st inning score truck delivery.
Way to go, Mr. Swishie.
Teix! 2 run job. Huzzah!
Wow.
Pretty hitting and green my eyes.
ooh, fuck yeah!
i think that's back-to-back games with doubles for the captain. and tex has been mashing. me likey!
hope hiro pitches a gem!
and, of course, if alex were dh'ing, he'd have hit a solo shot (and no error). jus' joshin'...
[11] mine eyes blue.
Holy crap. Yanks fell out of bed today ready to mash.
TONES FOR JONES BONES!!!
So the 3+ streak and Rob's hitting streak are both taken care of in the first inning.
[15] btw, if someone can figure out that reference without googling, i'd be very impressed.
(hoppystone - if you're reading, you'll obviously know it immediately!)
[16] love it!
our line is:
Fahrenheit 451
[17] I'm going to challenge you for the obscure reference title in this thread though.
[19] Ooooh.
The flashpoint.
In a sane world Robbie's shot would have been ruled an E7. But that's just me. : )
[20] not fair, i asked first! plus, i have to hop in the shower, so i'm exempt! : )
I have a plan. We get a big enough lead to use Chad Qualls, but then (and this is the really brilliant part of my plan) don't use Chad Qualls. Just watch how well this plan works.
So Swisher has struck out looking 3 times in the last 2 games. WTF Nick! Swing the bat.
Holy Shite! Ouch! Where's his help?
[24] i love it when a plan comes together.
must get through one more inning, before the sky begins to cry...
bottom of the order gettin' it done!
uh-oh, bases loaded/1-out...
Maybe Swish is better off striking out looking. Damn!
A double for that? FFS. That's a single and an E8. Oi.
that swisher double play was double plus ungood and now hiro gives up the leadoff double.
not that i'm worried. but more runs are always nice. let's make the game official!
[32] wise not doing well out there?
5 solid innings for Kuroda in the books.
official.
hiro!
[34] He got struck betwixt and between a line drive to left center. If he played it right it just would have been a routine single. Instead he butchered it into a "double."
[37] acha. thanks.
alright, i'm out. 7 hours of drum teaching ahead!
GO YANKS!!!
Is it raining up in the BX yet? Here in midtown it's getting mighty dark.
These fucking yahoos at the game today are giving Alex a helluva time. Get a grip people.
Alex Rodriguez' Blue Period.
A 2 out rbi for Wise. Nice.
And the Captain laces a line drive single to right field.
Very dark now, thunder, rain is a coming to NYC.
Another caught looking for Swisher. That's 4 in two days. He needs a break.
Crazy crashing thunder here (in Providence), snapping lightning.
Rain delayed start, and skipping out of work a bit early, I get to see some Yankee baseball today.
Bonkers rain and thunder in midtown right now. Looks like the end of the world.
Hail. No locusts though.
Welp, that was seven strong for Hiroki. Hopefully, the pen gets six more outs when they continue.
Well, a little baseball.
Damn!
