Welp, the Yanks need to beat Justin Verlander today in order to avoid being swept by the Tigers.
[Insert remark: here]
The good news is that they’ve got CC Sabathia on the hill. Be nice to see a decent start from someone other than Andy Pettitte, huh?
Brett Gardner CF
Robinson Cano 2B
Kevin Youkilis 3B
Travis Hafner DH
Vernon Wells LF
Ichiro Suzuki RF
Francisco Cervelli C
Lyle Overbay 1B
Jayson Nix SS
Never mind the odds: Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Youk crushes a ball foul vs Verlander and then hits a double on the next pitch. Verlander steps off the mound and barks at Youk. Looks like he said, "Did you say something?" Couldn't see if Youk did.
Hey, Justin, calm down you fuggin spaz.
That exchange WAS weird. The fact that Ugly is the best Yankee hitter so far is really messing with my universe.
2) Nothing seems normal yet, does it?
[3] Nope. Not one bit.
Oh, fuck yes. The scrubs! Cervelli and NIX!
Whoo-hoo. 3-0 vs Outlander! Nix! Now it's up to the Big Fella to hold this bastids down!
Morning Banterers. Dag we sure could use this one.
2 out walk to #6. Infield single. 2-0 to #8. FFS!
I haven't seen every Gardner ab this year but I have seen him homer, bunt to the third baseman who was standing on top of him, and pop out/fly the other 6 times or so. Grrrrrrr.....500 push-ups, Brett! Each time! Cano with a hit finally.
Much better looking CC today.
Hey all.
Okay, time for a nice little RBI single, wadyasay?
Or that.
Yoooooook!
Wow, that feels weird.
According to wikipedia, Matt Tuiasosopois a cousin of Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, perpetrator of the Manti Te'o girlfriend hoax. So boo to him.
Michael Kay is an idiot.
WHAT??? That sure looked fair live...
Nope, clearly foul. Huh.
If Will Middlebrooks can hit 3 homers today why couldn't Nix hit 2 homers vs. Verlander?
Wow, and the Knicks just beat OKC on the road for the 12th straight win. 50th of the year. 36 for Melo with 9 offensive boards.
[18] Good day for "knix"!
CC looking gassed. Be nice if he can get Jackson here.
ONIONS!
Atta boy, Big Fella. 7 solid.
That's a good seven innings. Really good.
The Hammer's got a formidable task ahead of him in the 8th.
Cokey!
Good rip down the line by Vernon.
I'll take it.
you just can't stop BRAINS!
Well I'll be.
Two RBI today for Frankie.
This is the Phil Coke I remember.
@$%$ing Hunger! Gah!. Can't get him out.
Hunger = Hunter. Whoops. I sense a Cabrera bomb of some sorts.
[32] You just smelled a nail, that's all.
That's a Mo Damn Strike!
[33] There it is. Strike 3.
NAILED.
mlb.tv crashed my browser.
Lance Nix is Wally Pipp.
C'mon, Robbie. For fuck's sake. Hit it in a gap somewhere.
This game is not at all painful to watch.
Good base running, but kind of dumb play actually.
Youk! (puking in my mouth a little)
[42] I think 'pyouking' would be a good name for that. I have a feeling we'll all do it a bunch this season.
[43] Pyouking. Perfect. lol...
Track it down, Lil' G!
Nice catch Brett!
Nice catch.
All Rise. Good game.
Sittown.
All praise Mo.
Very nice win, fellas.
Thanks be to Mo.
