Another good pitching match-up at the Stadium on a sunny but crisp day in New York. Our man Hiroki’s on the hill.
(And from ESPN, here’s an update on Mark Teixeira.)
1. Jeter SS
2. Suzuki LF
3. A-Rod 3B
4. Cano 2B
5. Swisher 1B
6. Granderson CF
7. Martin C
8. Ibanez RF
9. Nunez SS
Never mind the team in the rear view mirror: Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Samll beef, but shouldn't Ichiro lead off and bat Jeter 2nd?
Smaller beef, but should "Suzuki" be "Ichiro"? You are using "A-Rod," which, actually, he doesn't even like.
[0] Another small beef. We've got two shortstops. Who's the DH, Nuney or Jeets? I assume Jeets.
[0] Sorry, Alex. I see you were just following LoHud with the line up, which is what I would've done
Let's Go Hiroki!
That could have been worse.
That's not good.
Uh, boy. That was not good.
Right back in the game!
New ballgame thanks to Swisher. Nice.
SWISH GO BOOM!!!
CORNFLAKE!!!
LEON!!!
It's going to be another one of those games, isn't it?
Sox winning
Lew Ford being back in baseball and a pain in the ass annoys me.
Red Sox are wretched
I can't wait for INSTANT REPLAY!
with 2 challenges on Balls and Strikes
It really is a quality umpiring crew for this here pennant race game.
Oh fuck. Eduardo Nunez.
Nune6. Lame.
Good work Nune6. That run is on you. Blast!
Fucking Eduardo Nunez.
Wheels are coming off.
I'll take that error.
OK, so it's a hit for Jeter.
[26] Very generous. Poor play by the 1Bman.
What a joke of a SS.
Enough Nunez. Please.
Reddick's Mullet. Business up front. Party in the back. Horse shit at the plate.
TB holds on to a 1-0 lead with 3 more Toronto outs to go.
Sox over O's 2-1 after 8.
Bailey in for the Sox.
GROUNDER to 2nd. 1 OUT!
[31] Just rooting for them to be good enough to play Baltimore hard at the end
Reynolds up....
SINGLE for Reynolds.
Jim Thome in to PH.
The Red Sox fucking suck.
FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!
GROUND RULE DOUBLE for Thome.
2nd and 3rd, 1 out.
IBB coming for Davis.
Bases loaded, 1 out.
Force out at home. Bases loaded two outs
DOWN GO THE ORIOLES!
DOWN GO THE ORIOLES!
DOWN GO THE ORIOLES!
Orioles lose!
Pinch stand there on first?
O's lose.
TB now up 3-0, bottom of the 8th.
39). Wish my gf would do that...sugh
More sloppiness from the A's! Just call them the E's
Does Nunez always stand that far from the plate?
Hell of a fucking game Eduardo.
It will be his fault that we don't go up two, but at least he won't send us into a tie.
I sense a 9th inning comeback - good time to break that 0-fer schneid
Really disappointing game for Hiroki.
TB Wins. Now 3 1/2 behind the O's.
Good time to run into one here, Alex.
Arrrrrrrtggggghhhhhhhhh... Too high.
Dammit, Alex justmissed.
Drat. That's all she wrote. Cano ain't doing dick here.
Christ. On a platter.
crap.
[49] Correct. We can't have our #2 give up 4 ER in 5.2 IP.
Our only chance in the PS is pitching.
You know this all-or-nothing Offense ain't gonna cut it in October.
Well, we missed a huge opportunity, but at least we got to see Eduardo Nunez in the field.
I made it home to see just the last few innings, and sorry if the thread covered this already, but: Is TBS the A's network now? All I hear is A's this, A's that, and what a huge game this is for them and their 2.5-gm wild card lead. Shut up already.
