Dang, Curtis just missed.
Yeah, lots of swinging and missing early on.
Oy, too bad. Does Pearce get credit for running the count full at least?
[3] Moral victory?
[4] Who's ahead in the Moral Division race, by the way?
Nice early start for Hiroki.
Way to go Nunie. Now, to get him home safely.
[5] The Twins?
Oh, yeah, and Nunie, don't get clever and try to steal third willya hah?
Oh, fuck yes.
Beating the Rays with smallball!
You know Girardi is happy.
Nice, a HWRISP!
[8] They are highly moral.
Of course, with all this stealing, taking extra bases, and bunting, the Yankees are having an extremely moral game.
Bronx bunters.
Let's go, Alex. Get that runner home, now.
Shit, A Rod is going to whiff here.
Umm, what was that... scoring? With a runner in scoring position? And without a home run? Who does that??
Hmmmmph.
Yes!
Smack.
YES! Take THAT Maddon. Take THAT A. Belth, ye of little faith.
Okay, drive HIM home now Robbie.
Good 2-0 take by Robbie.
"The urgency it takes to create a win is a symbol of these things we do in practice."
TBS < YES
Wow! A Rod, dag.
WHO ARE THESE GUYS???
Russell...get it in the air.
Man, he doesn't get cheated on his swing, does he? lol
[13] More morals! Come on Russel.
Ya goota be impressed when a guy is making $25m a year with 600+ HRs, and still leads the team in SB.
I hate ARod's bad rap. The guy plays the game hard.
Russell with the Muscle!!!
Tainted runs!
Great at bat.
Oh, well kinda looked familiar (to a certain degree)...

A warning? Yeesh. Takes away the inside.
Dumb move by the ump. But sheeeeit. Hiroki has a 5 run lead. It's on him to make this hold up.
MLB REALLY has to do something about these umps that are soooooo trigger happy to throw people out of the game. In the old days a manager could insult an ump's entire family going back 3 generations, and the ump just took it. Now they throw you out over nothing.
Curtis shows how it's done.
That's how you get revenge for a brush-back!
Cut down on that swing now. Jeez, Conan, a base hit will do.
Had Pearce 3-2 last inning, got him on the slider. Tried it again this time, foul. Then a cutter, foul again. Hang in Pearcie.
Too bad. Moral victory? Raised Moore's pitch count by eight pitches.
Uh, we'll give Hiroki one for the long lay off. Damn.
Oh, good, didn't walk him.
[41] Yep, no more of that Hiro.
[33] Hadn't heard that since the last century.
OK, good recovery Hideki.
Nunez! Finally doing it right.
Amazing.
Next we'll be doing those weird shifts in the field, and they'll work.
This is kind of embarrassing for Moore, huh?
Booooooo.
Unproductive out. We no longer stand for those.
Oh well, it's a sac fly.
Slightly disappointing, but acceptable, Centaur.
This is embarrassing. I love it.
Hah!
Too bad, non-lame Jeter would have scored. Girardi sucks, shoulda put a PR in.
[47] Its probably also eating him up knowing he's bombing in one of the biggest games of the year for his team.
Keep em down, Hiroki...
Hiro is mowing em down.
1-2-3, what we like to see. But it's a shame that Fuld is hurt.
Oh my god.
That was amazing. Robinson, what can you say?
[56] That's why you don't dog it on a ground ball.
Ricky Romero, with the huge reverse platoon splits. Think we load up on righties anyway?
Where was that pitch, Blue?
Boy, do the Giants really blow
61) No football, please.
(61) Exactly my point
Bear down, Hiroki.
Tex woulda had it
What a DUMB FUCK. That Shithead should be escorted out of the park. Fucking Moron.
C'mon, Hiroki...
[66] Man, if you're wearing a Swisher jersey in the Stadium right now, I don't envy you.
Oh no. Come on.
God dammit.
66) I gotta disagree, Alex. That was all on Pearce
68) Seriously, that guy is an asshole. How about a little court awareness, you putz.
This isn't good.
So much for another Sunday laugher
When I was younger, my family adopted a feisty chocolate toy poodle; my youngest sister renamed him from Pierre to Pyewacket (after the cat from Bell, Book & Candle); but my oldest sister would tease him into conniptions by calling him Noonice or Noonie. She would find him hiding under the bed or hiding around a corner about to pounce and she would start teasing him, "Noooooo-nice! NOOOOOON-EEE!" And he would snarl and yapyapyap in complete hysterics. I think of that whenever Nunez is around for some strange reason.
My preferred nickname for him though was SHADDUP!! >;)
We're gonna lose this game. Son of a bitch+
Shit
Shit luck.
O fuck, the Return of the 1960 Game 7 8th Inning Bad Hop
Hiroki has to fucking Man-Up here.
The worst part of this is its early enough in the game to let Joe play MATCHUPS.
Whew. Just foul.
Acceptable.
6-4. Can we please hold them here and score 12?
Get out of it, Hiroks.
84) Here, here.
Let him pitch the seventh.
Let's hope all the back luck for the game was featured in that inning.
Meanwhile...Hello Score Truck? Where you at?
How much does A-Rod's sac fly really hurt now!?!
I would have kept Hiroki in there.
90) Ditto
Oh, boy. Nice place, Nunez.
Hey, look at that. Nuñez can catch flies.
Oh, right, match-ups. Good job, Boonie.
That was pretty deep for a SS.
Oh, boy. Nice play, Nunez.
And Logan's in there for just one batter?
Words cannot fully describe how much I hate this.
Guess Logan's the RHB specialist now
I dunno about this, man.
Two pitches, one out. Good.
Hmm.
Guess the bad luck wasn't done yet.
Joba for the tie?
Fucking Hell.
I do like this rook
P.C. Richards, Baby!
David Phelps, very nice.
I really don't like where this is going.
How was that 1-2 pitch NOT a strike, BLUE?
Two down.
One more Nail, baby.
Nice.
NAILED.
Looks like D Rob has his mojo back
And Matt Joyce get tossed!
Good for us, but these umps have to get tougher, skinwise.
Over sensitive much, ump?
What is going on at 3d?
Phew!
Untuck
Hooray!
With apologies to Alex, GIANTS WIN!
And, again, a Shana Tovah to all!
"Before Friday's game, Bobby Valentine was asked whether there was a particular area of his team that could most use some extra help.
'Are you kidding?' Valentine responded. 'This is the weakest roster we've ever had in September in the history of baseball. It could use help everywhere.'"
Think Bobby is getting any Boston heat for that?
And the A's take a 2-0 lead on the O's.
[117] They almost forgot who they were playing against.
