It’s Andy vs. his former team, the Astros. Man, that feels weird to say, huh?
Also, Austin Romine gets the start. Chad Jennings has the skinny.
1. Gardner CF
2. Cano 2B
3. Wells LF
4. Hafner DH
5. Boesch RF
6. Nix 3B
7. Overbay 1B
8. Nunez SS
9. Romine C
Never mind the drizzle:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Just heard on MLBN that Yankees are going to sign Hideki Matsui. . .
to a one day contract, so he can retire as a Yankee. Cool.
Cool. Cool. Cool.
Excellent.
Great gif, by the way, Alex.
Has everyone seen this Dickey knuckleball gif? Unbelievable. How the hell can anybody hit that, ever?
[4] Fantastic. Just watched the film Knuckleball the other night. Very intimate portrait of the careers of Dickey and Wakefield, virtually nothing on Neikro, Hough, or the inception, history, or physics of the pitch. Great movie, but not well-named.
Ugh.
Fuck. Really? Dammit.
Shit.
Holy shit.
I guess even Andy Pettitte has off days, huh?
And all with two out. Two away, nobody on, cruisin'...
Well that was nice.
Nice rebound there by Andy.
Are we going to get URP'd tonight?
Oy.
Blargh.
Time to think, time to stink ...
Normally a no-no, but that was the right call to dive there ...
Why waste Andy's bullets down 5-0, bring Warren in.
Not the pinstripers' night.
[17] See? Bring Warren in and I can find something else to do with night!
Mama said there'd be days like these.
Yankees feel sorry for the Astros, so they're giving Houston a pity win.
Well, maybe it's time for Vidal Nuno ...
Sweep the Jays. Astros get swept by Sox. Astros destroy Yankees. Grrrrr.......baseball. Bollocks!
Watching the pitchers struggle, and the bats fall silent, one can only conclude: this is all clearly ARod's fault.
Glad we didn't waste a good Pettitte start.
(Or something. Can't get too upset, anyway.)
[25] Andy has earned the occasional bad start. In some ways a 9-0 loss is easier than a 9-8 loss. You don't lose precious runs.
Robbie. . . Grrr.
Sid Fernandez?
[26] It is easier to take.
But, this is going to kill our Pythagorean record. We're gonna be the 2013 edition of the 2012 Orioles.
