Lil’ Sori: The Return? Just as Alex is about to get shitcanned? Oh, I can see the columns that will be written (wait–too late).

In the meantime, it’s Phil “Chuck and Duck” Hughes.

Never mind the nonsense:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

From LoHud:

Yankees left fielders are hitting .224/.268/.331 this season. Vernon Wells had one good month but has slipped significantly since then...

Yeah, that's an understatement.

My Little Payday.

Actually, this looks like a bargain for the Sox, huh?

I remember thinking after Soriano hit the 8th inning go-ahead home run in WS Game 7 vs Schilling that he would be a Yankee forever.
That was a looooong time ago.
I'd take him off Chicago's hands for (relatively) nuttin' that's for sure.

What a horrible, horrible shit show for the that first hit. Mesa nearly killed himself and Nune6 dropped the incoming throw. C'mon, man.

While Ryan Braun accepted a 65-game suspension from the league for his part in the Biogenesis scandal, Alex Rodriguez currently has no plans to make any such deals and will appeal any PED-related suspension the league may level against him, USA Today's Bob Nightengale reports.

Rodriguez reportedly doesn't believe his case is comparable to Braun's, and Major League Baseball may agree in the sense that they're pursuing a lengthier suspension for the Yankee third baseman. Nightengale hears from a source that the league is looking to suspend Rodriguez for at least 100 games due to his longer history with PEDs and his part in the Biogenesis case, including a possible charge that Rodriguez tried to destroy evidence.

Atta boy, Melky!

7 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 23, 2013 7:43 pm

The MelkMan!

8 rbj   ~  Jul 23, 2013 7:44 pm

[5] I've seen that there are negotiations, and no negotiations. And a lifetime ban or a Braun-like suspension. Some reporters are going to be wrong.

9 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 23, 2013 7:44 pm

Holy shit! Back to back doubles AND a run. "Melky touches third!" yells Kenny right after telling his missing third story. lol...

10 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 23, 2013 7:45 pm

My goodness, my gracious!!!

11 RIYank   ~  Jul 23, 2013 7:46 pm

What the hell is this crap? Three hits in a row?

Who are these guys?

12 RIYank   ~  Jul 23, 2013 7:49 pm

Flabbergasting.

13 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 23, 2013 7:49 pm

Sweet!

Now ... DOUBLE STEA ... oh, Robbie's up ... check that.

14 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 23, 2013 7:50 pm

Dammit. Robbie just missed that one. Oi.

15 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 23, 2013 7:51 pm

For fuck's sake. Fuck.

16 RIYank   ~  Jul 23, 2013 7:51 pm

Yeah, okay, that's more like it.

17 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 23, 2013 7:51 pm

Ugh.

Fugh.

Bugher.

18 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 23, 2013 7:52 pm

Goddammit.

19 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 23, 2013 8:09 pm

Vernon smoked that one.

20 rbj   ~  Jul 23, 2013 8:10 pm

A third double! In one game.

21 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 23, 2013 8:11 pm

Vern!

22 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 23, 2013 8:14 pm

Vernon with a fountain of youth inning.

23 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 23, 2013 8:14 pm

Well I'll be, Vern made that run!

24 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 23, 2013 8:15 pm

Mr. Mesa doesn't get cheated at the plate, that's for certain ...

25 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 23, 2013 8:17 pm

I don't know if Mesa will stick but at least he looks like a hitter.

26 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 23, 2013 8:18 pm

A very young, swing at a terrible 3-2 pitch kind of hitter.

27 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 23, 2013 8:19 pm

I was about to compliment Melky: The Sequel on a very good at bat, and then he went and swung at *that* pitch ...

28 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 23, 2013 8:20 pm

I'm pulling a Nostra, I think AR's gonna bring this one in ...

29 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 23, 2013 8:21 pm

And *that's* why you leave the prognosticating to the pros, boys and girls ...

30 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 23, 2013 8:36 pm

Cano can't buy a friggin' break!

31 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 23, 2013 8:43 pm

Welcome to your home in LF*, Grandyman!

*If and when you return ...

32 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 23, 2013 8:47 pm

[31] Not to bag on CG, who I genuinely think is a great dude, but he's been miscast as the Yankees' CF for 3 years now ...

33 rbj   ~  Jul 23, 2013 8:49 pm

Dang, Nune5.

34 rbj   ~  Jul 23, 2013 8:53 pm

Phil is certainly auditioning well tonight as trade bait. Joba for an inning too?

35 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 23, 2013 8:54 pm

Gar.

Blargh.

36 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 23, 2013 8:59 pm

Great pitch, Phil, you Phuck!

37 rbj   ~  Jul 23, 2013 9:03 pm

Oh Modammit!

38 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 23, 2013 9:04 pm

Well, fuck.

That was ... sub-optimal.

Ugh.

39 rbj   ~  Jul 23, 2013 9:04 pm

Ballgame.

40 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 23, 2013 9:05 pm

Fire Fire Fire.

41 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 23, 2013 9:07 pm

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOne.

(hint: we're not saying BOOOOOOOOOOOurns!)

42 RIYank   ~  Jul 23, 2013 9:09 pm

It's important for Phil's homers to be solos. That one was not.

43 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 23, 2013 9:10 pm

[42] You mean the one he didn't give up?

44 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 23, 2013 9:15 pm

Ugh ... this one's going to hurt.

Fugh.

45 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 23, 2013 9:22 pm

That's a beaut.

46 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 23, 2013 9:24 pm

Robbie iz "teh awesomez!1!"

47 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 23, 2013 9:38 pm

Nice grab, Brett.

48 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 23, 2013 9:48 pm

Yikes. What's up with the Tx mound?

49 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 23, 2013 9:50 pm

Well whaddya know? NUNEY!

50 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 23, 2013 9:52 pm

Whoo-hoo. A comeback.

51 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 23, 2013 10:05 pm

One down.

52 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 23, 2013 10:07 pm

Caught looking. 2 down.

53 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 23, 2013 10:08 pm

6-3. Ballgame. Praise be to Mo.

54 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 23, 2013 11:12 pm

No, praise be to *you* Ara, me and everyone else bailed on this game before the 9th!

Oh, we of little faith ...

[3] God, it was a long time ago. And yet, I remember it like it was yesterday.
