Hmmmm ... Me vs Mark Gubizca ... dueling birthdays!
[1] And dueling superfluous letters in each of your names, too. Happy Nutheryearonearth!
Grand Fonzie!
Sori go BOOM!!!
Beautiful. Simply beautiful. Why any pitcher throws Soriana a fastball is beyond me. Atta boy, Weaver!
Another 6 rbis for The Fonz!
PINCH ME, I MUST BE DREAMING!
Hmmm, not good.
They must have misheard Joe and are trying to score 93 runs... not that I have a problem with that.
Holy shit. I come in late to a game, and this???
Not what I expected!
7) no, it's definitely 1927, and I think these Yankees are going to be very good for many years to come. I don't know anything about this red team, but you'll want to take your money out of the stock market soon, my good fellow.
Why are these jovial fellows blathering about things that won't happen for another 86 years?
Who is this cloven-hooved chap, number 13? I like the cut of his jib.
Boooooo!
[13] He's a natural.
[13] That's the "Prince of Darkness", sir. He's your 11 O'Clock ...
15 & 16) exactly
A-Rod is testing Robinson.
Not a lot of first pitch strikes from Nova. He aint sharp
I do not care for this Trout fellow. Something fishy about him.
Nice job, Ivan.
Nice pickup, Cashman.
Me so Sori!!!
Next stop, double digits!
Sor' Truck!
Needed that one. Now it's a good game for Nova. He picked a good one for his "a little off" game, for sure.
Bocce Boshers
[16] There's only ONE Prince of Darkness and he goes by the name 'Miles'! But this A-Rod kid, he's a gamer.
Fo'!
Michael knows the word 'matriculating'.
Yesterday on Boston sportstalk radio, one of the hosts said he'd seen Dustin Pedroia "matriculating slowly up Boylston St."
I swear to god, he said it, and the other fucking idiot didn't say a word. WEEI.
I find that morally offensive.
Good game, Ivan. You might have an 8th inning left in you.
[30] My dad has a story about when he was in college in the 1950s, at Georgia Institute of Technology, one guy running for office would slur his opponent by stating that the guy matriculated with the co-eds.
[33] Dirty politics I can deal with, esp. if funny. It's the profound stupidity of jock culture that offends me.
Yeah, not exactly surprising that Soriano walks in this situation. Well, maybe surprising that he had the patience to do it.
[33][34] Can I matriculate with Jenny Dell?
Feel like tuning in just to see Scioscia's face right now.
Double digits!
Damn. Too late to go buy some Champagne.
[36] If you have a piece of ham, just stick a red cap on it and you won't have to tune in.
They really love that zip code game, huh?
Over the last 15 years, who would have thunk that the Yankees would get straight against the Cal LA Angels of Anaheim, Orange County? This line-up was supposed to be the best ever in the history of baseball.
[23] Wasn't I named an Asian baiter for comparing Kuroda and Matsui as having Japanese heritage in common?
[39] Funny. Just don't paint him orange around Halloween.
Well, wasn't SUPER Nova, but he's been pretty damn good lately ...
Good job Ivan.
[39] That is really funny. I been trying to think of another type of cured meat that would be more descriptive, but nothing else comes close.
Little Pony grounds out to end the eighth, so Big Papi won't have a chance to tie it in the ninth. (Because the Jays are up two.)
Tampa is also behind.
I know, I know. Just saying.
[39] The co-host was either rightfully stunned or wrongfully caught up in imagery and innuendo. I can't imagine which.
[47] for [31]. Can't focus tonight, sorry.
[47] Well, remember, WEEI. So you might try [c] he's also an idiot. Here is how I imagine his thought process: "Uh... matriculating... ummmmm... Pedroia. Baseball. Hungry."
Nice that the Romine brothers are together this evening. Tomorrow, will they be flagging?
Good win. Cheers all.
Nice easy win. Kudos to Nova. All hail the Fonz.
Woohoo, back to back double digits
Good night all.
Good game, gentlemen.
Well, well, well. Nice job.
Could there be a run in this team???
[55] A-Rod tater off of Fernando Rodney to win the one-game playoff. Nostralarmis, where are you?
