And the Cap'n is starting rehab games tomorrow.
Heating up over this side the ocean too. Getting close to the dreaded 90degrees/90%humidity the last few days.
Btw, why does Wallace Matthews at ESPN have a job? He actually compared A-Rod to a child-killer today. Seriously.
[2] Wait, what?
2) You got a link for that?
WHY WERE TRYING TO FUCKING BUNT!?!?!?!?
GREAT fucking job.

We're going to waste this lead-off double, aren't we?
Ugh.

"He is the one who chose to live a high-profile lifestyle, and then complained about all the media attention it draws, sort of like the kid who kills his own parents and then begs for leniency on the grounds he is an orphan."
I think this is it.
I won't compare Alex to even Manny, because he never shoved an old traveling secretary or has a domestic violence conviction. A-Rod is the DV - Designated Villain.
[5] Ichiro is Japanese. They play 'small ball' and are 'good at teamwork'. It's only logical! :)
[7] Of course, because that's the Yankee Way.
AWESOME!
I love this team!
8) Well, that's not exactly a child-killer. It may have been an inelegant analogy by Mathews but it's not the same as OKJ accused him of.
Damn, Ichi. Missed it by "this" much.
Ichino :-(
Sheeeeeeeet, Cano makes tough plays look so damn easy!! And that one too!
Gotta love that smile.
ROBBIE! ROBBIE!!
So NICE, I had to say it TWICE!!!
3-4-1 put out?
Watch out, monkeypants, Vern and his "reworked" swing are coming for more playing time!
[12] Who is OKJ? Even so..what a garbage article by Matthews. Reads like a parody of anti-ARod pieces.
Cruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuz!
Nova's ball is jumping tonight.
[19] You know I have faith in him. I mean, he got a little out of whack there for a while. But once he gets back to what he was doing in April, going the other way, trying to make contact and not hit home runs, staying within himself, etc., we'll be partying like it's 2003. I'm sure during those couple days he sat, he worked with Kevin Long, and we all know what that does.
hey folks.
i'm watching the braves-phils game.
yeah, wallace matthews is a chump and a really shitty writer...
adams is the walkin' dude.
not very gritty.
Ichiro!
C'mon Haf, wait and rake.
Pathetic. FUCKING PATHETIC.
not deep enough.
vernon lives for moments like these.
clear the bases, verrny!
The Yankee Way.
Dammit.
well, that's one way to clear the bases...
...make the 3rd out.
Adams may be shiite at the plate, but he's been rock solid at 3rd.
bad call goes against the bravos as they mount a comeback against cliff lee.
c'mon braves, take the lead, i don't wanna watch papelbitch pitch1
Man, Nova is dealin.
oh man, that was nova's first walk today. he has 9 k's. throwing a really good game, with a low pitch count.
get hardy here and prepare for a score truck delivery!
Super, Nova, super!
good, miguel is gone.
One bad pitch for Ivan. Let's get into the pen.
[39] Bossa Nova, baby!
braves score 4 in that frame. shoulda been 5 and a tie ballgame...
chip 'fister' caray is as annoying as ever.
[41] Unfortunately, that means LHP 4x LHB.
Blargh.
Day-um. I remember when Ivan struggled after 4-5 innings.
Great job, Ivan.
Just fantastic!
[claps]
what an incredible performance by Bossa Nova!!!
102 pitches, 70 strikes. 11 K's, 1 BB, 3 H, 2 R
awesome. and he'll most likely lose... hard luck.
braves having some hard luck, too. they're down by a run in the 9th. if it weren't for bad calls, they'd be UP by a run. bollocks.
now i have to watch papelbitch and listen to fister caray...
good start!
NOW you can bunt, Ichiro!
Cheers, gang! Been watching over at my dad's house. Damn, Nova was sharp tonight. First 2 on! Let's go Yankees!
ok, ok!
c'mon Pronk!!!
get Nova this win!!!
Don't FUCK THIS UP AGAIN HAFNER!
I want a two run single.
Deja vu! Danm!
Tied up!
Damn straight! Now win it!
i'll take it.
Verny for the Victory!
I kind of want to see Lil' G steal home out of the blue.
SWEEP THE LEG!
CRUSH! KILL!! DESTROY!!!
win the fucking game.
Well that was MOST entertaining. Hells Bells for Wells!
FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!
Win!! CG W for Nova!
I'm very pleased, esp for Bossa Nova! : )
You cannot destroy him, monkeypants, you can only hope to contain him!
WELL'S BELLS!
Nova's Game Score: 83
Vernon. Well of a nice win.
