The Yanks are hot, they’ve got the best record in baseball, but…there’s always a but, right? But, no time to get complacent. And there’s always trouble lurking out west. They’ll play four in Oakland starting tonight. Nothing is easy. Keep in rollin’, fellas.
Never mind the late games: Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Four game set against the A's! Yayy, we get to see Cespedes and..umm..Bartolo?
Is Eric Plunk still pitching in the bullpen for them?
[1] Plunk. Great name for pitcher.
I wonder if McGwire will be in the line-up tonight.
Hello, anyone on the midnight shift? Arod must have switched directions 5 times on the supposed missed catch in the outfield. It was funny seeing the wide shot.
I just read on LoHud that Gardner will be having surgery on his elbow "to remove inflammed tissue". He's now officially gone for the year. Bummer.

So its CES-ped-es, not ces-PED-es? Either way, he puts Freddy and the Yankees in a 2 run hole.
[2] Joe Rudi?
[3] Here! I love the west coast games, can grab some lunch and chill at my desk with the game on. Rough news abotu Gardner..i have scary images of Ibanez playing LF in important postseason innings...
[5] Yeah, probably one or two drives he will not be able to get to. But with back-ups Jones, Wise and probably Dickerson do the Yankees need another outfielder?
What's for lunch in Tokyo?
Not so sure that Freddy can pitch in cool weather?
[6] Dickerson makes the post season roster?
Lunch..good Q. Lot of options around here..had local grub yesterday so I'm thinking an Indian lunch box or big ol' sandwich today..bit slow here at ACME,Inc this afternoon so long lunch and nap is on the menu..
It's a little lonely (no offense OK Jazz), so free association time. It's bring your dog to the ballpark day in Oakland. Singleton said that at least 1000 dogs were paraded on the warning track before the game. Now the dogs are in the seats with their owners. Can you imagine something like that at Yankee Stadium? Never.
You would think they would do the dog day during a game with a team like KC or Baltimore so there would be more room in the stands.
[8] Nah, Dickerson probably won't.
Sounds like a summer Friday at the office in NY.
[9] Dog Day! Wow..horrible stadium, bland team..I guess they need to do some wacky promotions to bring people in.
It's Dog Day at the Coliseum. And I don't mean hot dogs. Let's hear some jokes.
[12] I guess I should have it reload before posting that. Sorry, I've had a ruff week.
So they walk their dogs on the warning track so the dogs can go to the bathroom?
I imagine Garcia will be on a short leash today.
[12] It's a Northern California kind of thing. The Yankees are being restrained on a leash so far tonight. This has all the makings of trap game for the Yankees. Even with the early ending day game yesterday, I'm sure the Yankees were delayed at the airport like everyone else due to the wacky weather yesterday. So far, a little flat, and Freddy is one hit away from it getting away for good.
Oops, the hit happened.
[14] That would be an improvement for this ball park.
This game is trouble. The Yankees seem to be stymied by Griffen, and Freddy is about to give up more.
Good job by Freddy in getting out of it. Now, some let's get some East Bay Grease into the score truck bearings, and get some of the runs back.
Big echoes and tumbleweeds.
[21] Back! Pumpkin&Chicken curry lunch box ahoy.
This game is for the dogs. Enjoy your Puppy Chow, Jazz.
[21] Crickets.
Coming back
[23] Killer bento.
[25] They'll win it off of Brian Fuentes in the 9th for sure.
ok, just getting home from work.
we can win now! : )
[27] thelarmis! Christian McBride and Jeff Tain Watts are coming to Japan this September for the Tokyo Jazz Festival, I'm trying to set up an interview with them. Give me some hip-de-hip drummer and bass-man slang!
Jemile Weeks looks like someone I knew in high school. He looks like he is in high school.
manhandled by a dude named sean doolittle.
[28] holy crap! talk about a rhythm section. my god.
Seeya guys. Off to the orafice.
Looking forward to seeing winning highlights in about an hour.
Uh-oh, here comes the rain.....
GI Joe on the guy that (mostly) UPR'ed us tonight:
"He’s a guy that’s just going to pitch."
that's fucking brilliant. i had NO idea the A's pitcher tonight was going to pitch. i bet he's also a "baseball player."
Bal-four. Always good for a base on balls.
Jazz - i'm jealous on the indian chicken curry. yummy!!!
[34] yeah, him and Kevin Slowey.
poor Homer Bailey.
of course, the shit sox hit a walkoff homer at the fens.
god, do i hate them, their stadium and their fans...
[33] Yes but we need to know: "Is he JUST HAVING FUN OUT THERE??"
[35] Awesome joint right across from my office.
[32] Another half-day there, Boat? :)
At least, keep the 3 run streak alive, dog-gone it!
Swish delivers the tre!
[39] Boom!
Huzzah for the streak.
That dog will hunt!
[39] and robbie kept his hitting streak alive.
we homered. now...we win!
Russell Martin dog-legged it foul. Would have went.
crap.
Good night. The Yanks will get em tomorrow.
[38] Dawg, I'm on duty 24-7. Been woikin' at home all morning. Finished about 11 PM last night.
Tonight, however, I will howl at the moon.
