Brains is hitting *sixth*.

*wincing*

Yeah, he's hitting .360. His OBP is .500.

Turns out, he's Yogi, he was just screwing with us before.

hahahahaha!

For real?

Good on Frankie!

Yogi Brains, haha!

Well, let's hope Frankie Brains hasn't been aided by Biogenesis...

OK, back to teaching...

Go Sabs!!! Go Yanks!!!

Huh. No Yankee feed on Extree Inningses tonight.

This isn't a good beginning.

Well, that's gonna happen sometimes

[6] Nope.
Come on, big guy.

[1] Francisco hitting five is more appalling.

Kenny is right: more runs are scored in the first than in any other inning. (And he's right about the reason, too.)

Kenny is usually right

[9] Yeah, but these spring training games are meaningless. When the season starts we'll have our regular lineup.

Good start, Lil' G.

Well that sucked.

Better.

Damn, Boesch is a whole lot larger than Gritner.

[12] Hahhahaha! Indeed.

You just can't predict baseball.

(Listening, Sterling just said it, something about walking Nix conformed to Sterling's Law.)

This 3-run hole looks pretty deep.

[20] Interleague LURP. sigh...

Old friend AJ is flirting with a No-No..everyone swtich over to the Pirates game! (Don't hear that often, do ya>)

Time for some runs!

[22] Omg. God, I forgot all about him. He occupies (perhaps unfairly) the Kyle Farnsworth and Carl what's-his-name corner of my brain.

[22] Thanks. Never hated the guy, just frustrated by him. Unlike Pavano.

[24] And maybe even what's-his-name is there too, god, what was his name? The guy from Detroit? Lost us that World Series game out of the pen in extra innings against...Florida, was it? The game where Joe didn't bother to bring in Mo? God, what the fuck was his name?

Jeff...was he Jeff something?

And there goes the no-no.

I'll take it! A run!

Unbelievable. Unbelievable!

I couldn't see Nix getting an RBI any other way.

[26] Joe Torre is SO wildly overrated as a manager. That was just awful..

Gritner comes through!

Gritty gritty Gritner!

Hooray!

And here's to Nuñez's speed, and crappy throwing by Snakes!

Well this is better.

[31] The 2004 ALCS was Torre at his worst. And I'm a Torre fan

[26] Jeff Weaver, right?
I just figured out what you were talking about.

Solo shot & Mo. Is that asking too much?

Nice to see CC go 8. I smell a Cano tater comeing up..

Oh, crap. He tagged it.

Nice game from the big man, especially considering the 1st ...

[38] Jesus, thank you! I was still sitting here in agony trying to remember his fucking name.

PRONK!

No way!!!!

[39] Ask and you shall receive...

Damn, that was beautiful.

Right down Hafner Blvd!

Pronk go crackle-crackle boom-boom!

[39] SWEET!

What was Sterling's home run call for Hafner?

[46] As long as you don't over reach.

{51]
"Travis is a Pronks Bomber"

[51] "Oh, Suzyn, shake that BA-DONK-A-PRONK!"

What's Sterlings HR call for Hafner? "Travis takes a trip around the bases"?

It's fun watching this team right now.

You know, CC hasn't had a start this year that I'd call "bad." Even opening day was really one real bad inning. If he pitches like CC all year without the bad April, he's the Cy Young.

[53] Yeah, that makes sense.

Damn, I missed the first out. Every one is precious.

All Rise.
Another lovely game.

And thanks be to Mo.

Mariano Rivera, ladies and gentlemen.

Mariano Rivera.

Now *that's* a good win

Thank you for my modest request, baseball gods.

This Mo kid has lots of potential, right?

Very, VERY satisfying Win.
When you look totally overmatched, and you seem to have nothing, and the bottom of the order comes up big, that is just beautiful.

Damn... if we started 8-5 with our full squad, I'd be pretty happy. For this slip shod lineup to play like this, is well.... remarkable.

Might not be a lost year after all.
