Anyone else scared to watch this game?
A guy on first w/ 2 outs for the Rays feels like a guy on third w/ 0 out for anybody else. They will steal second and get the two-out single with the same frequency others can get a sac fly.
[2] I know, that's why they score so many runs!
More than any team in the AL, except, well, everybody, unless you count the Indians or Mariners as AL teams, which is doubtful.
[1] I get Tiggers vs. Indians. Sigh.
No yanks on in dc mkt. I hate gameday
Is that back to back?
[6] And belly to belly!
The bastards. You know Jon was just dying for a stolen base and a single.
(I kid because I love, Jon.)
Wow, this is a good game.
I have no faith in Nova at all, but he looks very good.
very cool!
RI - Happy Jew Year!
L'Shana Tova! Tomorrow. And also to garydsimms. And our goyische chaverim.
makin' james work! i like it.
Did CC and Ivan switch... somethings?
not making him work. me no likey.
I figured I'm log on in hopes of creating a minyan. And to wish everyone else a Healthy and Happy New Year.
[12] kekich peterson swap?
[14] Toda. Still a few short. I'll text Youkilis, he isn't doing much of anything.
[15] I don't even like to think about that.
Supernova! Damn.
(16) Maybe we can change Mo to Moe for a day - perfect to be the 10th man to complete the minyan
[18] Well, he's devout.
I think we have enough for a minivan, anyway. Is that good enough?
you guys might need an extra. i'm about to scoot out...
shalom!
(18) Jews and minivans???? Never happen
[19] awesome!
i call 'shotgun'. [this means i get to play DJ]
[21] What, you've never been to Scarsdale?
I miss the pitch count
Oh, cripes. Oh man.
Freaking Nuñe5. But he got away with it.
Love the way Robbie was ready to "complete" the dp if there was a safe call at 2d
Is the empty chair in the new Clint flick?
[27] He's got an entire dining room set. The ensemble is impressive.
Ivan far from terrible!
[28] is this a percussion ensemble?
Wonder whether Ivan's set to pitch a week from Wednesday night? Nova and break-fast go together.
[30] There's no such thing.
Btw.... Israel is playin in the WBC prelim next week
Word is that ryan braun will play if they make final round in March
[31] Ouch.
Funny, I just went and got some belly lox yesterday, from the only place in RI that carries it. I find nova disappointing. (And Nova, too, in a lot of recent starts.)
[32] very very false. i've even played in them.
ok, i'm goin' again.
GO BOSSA NOVA! GO YANKS!!!
lox was a big thing every sunday at brunch.
of course, i've never tasted it...
jeter seeing a lot of pitches today...
Yeah, baby!
Damn, that was very satisfying.
Wow - textbook, all around.
Jetah!
capitan!
and ichi on the stolen base!
alright, i'm really leaving now...
later!
Thelarmis, I'll believe in percussion ensembles when I see one.
Yeah, I'm not completely shocked that you haven't eaten lox. Makes a nice ensemble with bagels, though, for real.
WoW! Boston on a HUGE Winning streak.
The daughter is in chef school
She cured some salmon last week... unbelievable... "gravlox "
Get the coffee on Joe
[44] Yes, gravlax, lucky you!
Thanks for the constructive criticism :)
Indians hitless through 6. Only runner a HBP
That was amusing.
Thank you, Joe Maddon!
That was not so amusing.
oh boy. joba in mega high pressure sitch. nervous.
Joe Girardi vs. Joe Maddon with 40-man rosters. Oh, joy.
what's going on? did they just ph for the ph?
[53] looks like they did. gamecenter was confusing for a sec.
Hey, good fielding!
And a good feeling when that happens.
[54] Yep.
Which makes you wonder why Girardi pulled Boone. But, anyway.
GODDAM.
So close. I thought he was gonna get out of it, dammit.
feck
Jeez.... can ANYONE remember the last time we had a relaxing game?
Are they doing this on purpose?
IS THIS A TEST?!?!?!?!?
Oh, sweet Centaur.
[59] You love the excitement. You love baseball.
a-rod!
Sori please!!!!!!
excellent! c'mon A's!
Thanx yanx. Nite to all. Shana tova to the yiddisha fans
