Oh goody, Nune6.
Keep hope alive! Yanks are winning tonight.
Civil War Reenactment Squad. Good one!
You could also call them Mumford & Sox
Last night's game reminded me why I am a fan of this sport and this franchise. Damn that hurt. Like getting beat at the buzzer by a half court shot. Always root for another run in the eight. Mo or no I was never at ease even when he got two strikes on that fellow. But if you make the tournament none of this matters. So, go get it tonight.
Sit your fat ass down, Big Pedi!
I hope Andy can go deep. The bullpen isn't going to be strong today.
Good work, Jetes.
Yahoo!
Sori!
Make the lead Joba proof, if that's possible.
Two True Outcomes, and in the correct order!
Love to see these guys aggressive on the base paths.
Not.
What the hell is going on with all these pick offs?
Uh oh.
Why all the talk about Phil closing out the 9th. I say give Joba another shot.
Better!
Now a nice little grounder to Cano and we're out of the inning.
[14] I don't know why people say sarcasm is so hard to get on the internet. I had no trouble at all.
ARGH!
David Ross.
David Ross!
Andy, pull yourself together! These guys really aren't that good.
Not too bad though.
Yes. Exactly. Okay.
[16] lol...
Cone said before that Phil Hughes "deserves" a chance to close tonight.
Why the fuck do the Yankees owe him anything?
When do the preliminary schedules for next year come out? I'm going to Phoenix next year and I'm hoping the DBacks are home.
Got that run back!
Three bagger, baby!
EdWARdo!
[23] I thought they were out. I remember reading something about the Cubs visiting Fenway next year.
Chris Stewart: Professional Baseball Player.
There is NO FUCKING reason a pitcher can't be quicker to the plate while a player messes around INSIDE the batter's box. Throw the gd ball while the batter is having his tick fest.
Can't walk the Pony. Can't do it.
The strike-outs were good, though.
Oy.
Gameday says backcountry joe west called two of Andy's pitches to pony in the strike zone balls. Oi!
Andy is a Golden God!
Greetings from Chattanooga
Shin-Soo Choo-Choo
Vernonator!
Yes!
Andy's looking better.
Now he has to be a little more efficient. We need at least seven innings.
[33] Hey, cool! I've never been. It's not all that far from Hotlanta, right?
Patience please, Rob.
Left-handed batters are getting a wider strike zone than right-handed batters. Both teams, I believe. Probably something to do with southpaw pitchers.
[33] thelarmis, have a great gig! Tokyo Jazz Fest going on this weekend, am catching Tony Bennett then Manu Katche later today.
#2000 for Andy!
[40] hey alright!
[39] not gigging. supposed to gig tomorrow night at home, but it's my girl's birthday, so we're away for the weekend! : )
tony bennett - is clayton cameron on drums/brushes?!
manu katche - awesome! his own band? groove stuff?
[36] you'd love it here! yeah, it's only 2 hours away; easy drive.
i've played here quite a bit, but not for several years. quaint little city.
reds have their AA affiliate here. we're going to Ruby Falls/Rock City tomorrow. typing that reminded me of playing the famous Rock City in Nottingham, England!
oh, and that was Lil Sori's 30th homer of the year!
1 of 3 true outcomes.
we have 5 walks and 2 hits...
[42] It's Manu Katche's own band. Not sure who is playing with TB, will let you know. Also Chick Corea & Marcus Gilmore tomorrow night, excited for that one.
Atta boy, Lil' G! Eat shit, boston.
Brettsky!
[46] And along the same lines: we have six runs on three hits!
Gritner!
Joe West fronting the Amish Red Sox performing truckers favorites tonite!
Gritney Gritner! Double digits triples!
GRITNER!!!
he's XBH boy lately : )
[47] i'm about to get Chick's new release with his new band Vigil. Hadrien Feraud is a *ridiculous* bassist!
[50] yeah, i'll take it!
i'll also take another run.
we're splitting for din-din in a few. make sure this lead holds up, you guys!!!
It's rubby of the pink. You think he was teased in elementary school?
O's and Tribe winning. Royales losing. Rays yet to play.
[54] Yeah, it's the Vigil band here. Saw Chick with Gilmore and Stanley Clarke on bass a few months ago, crazy good! Got to watch the beverage intake tonight though..feeling a bit heavy this morning.
i like the middle of Felix's box score:
R ER BB
6 6 6
[57] we're gonna try to watch the beverage intake tonight, so we can hike and stuff all of tomorrow. i get the feeling we're going to watch a lot of beverage being taken in... ; )
i've had 1 Dale's Pale Ale so far. that's been my beer of choice lately. in a can, from Denver. 6.5% alc. me likey!
Come on Andy, stay the course.
Rubby is pronounced "Ruby". Did Kay get it right?
Nope, don't care for this Middlebrooks fellow at all.
i hope gritner gets to double digits in homers, as well.
crazy about that year with grandy and j-roll reaching 20 doubles, triples, homers and stolen bases! of course, willie mays and the unforgettable frank "wildfire" shultze, or whatever his name was.
our 3 hits have all been XBH with runners on. yeah!
fuck middlebrooks. damn.
alright, i'm in trouble. must be going... ; )
[59] Not a big Pale Ale fan, too 'hoppy' for me. Give me that good ol' Oatmeal Stout!
yeah, robbie!
we need more runs, no doubt.
We got another hit but no runs scored! Impossible.
Still, only x-base hits tonight, that's kind of cool.
Hey, Vernon!
vern baby vern!
I'm confused, Wells stopped at first. And now Nunez too.
[70] Mercy rule, I believe.
All hail the 2 out ribeye!
Another single!
But, an RBI hit, so, better.
Nune-base running.
3 singles = triple.
ah, whatevs.
i'm out.
let's win easily.
GO ANDY! GO YANKS! GO BANTER!!!
Too many pitches, Andy!
But pretty good results.
Dang. A hit, but still, get in front of the ball. Teeth can be fixed. Got three of my front four rebuilt.
I hate Joe West
Atta boy, Phil! Bases loaded. Yes!
[79] I'm really really really really really irrationally exuberated about the end of the JobaPhil era.
Phuck!
More good news. Catch the fucking ball, Reynolds!
I leave for 20 minutes and this happens???
Beware of the Granny.
DO NOT WALK HIM.
Ferkrisake, Boone.
Nasty pitch, Boone. Way to make it interesting.
Oh, that was beautiful.
All is forgiven, Boone Logan!
Sit down, Big Pedi!
This one won't end as well.
Fukdoodles.
Yup.
Modammotherfuckingshit!
The New York Massacre. This sucks.
fugdoodles.
When I wrote that word with a k instead of an g, Wordpress wouldn't print it.
Bullpen is cooked
Keep going to full counts to everyone Boone.
sigh
I think its fair to say that the Yankees absolute refusal to give up the ghost on Phil Hughes and Joba Chamberlain may have finally killed the season.
Pathetic.
Motherfucking pathetic.
Man, these 2 days could have been glorious ...
Not even a fucking grease fire, it's been a fucking dumpster fire.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Oh, good idea.
It's a good thing we have an infinite bullpen. No problem at all, just pick out another guy. Eventually they'll finish the seventh inning.
Oh, and we have that guy who used to be a starter, so he can pitch the rest of the game. What's his name again?
Screw this, I'm heading out the jazz festival early. Beer, food and Tony Bennett coming up, Daddy-O! Beats this garbage.
Yay, Preston!
It's what, 38 runs in the last 3 games for Bahstahn? So far.
arghhh. What's left? I don't think a drink will help.
Oh great, more Steinbrenner enforced military worship! Sometimes the Yankee organization makes it so hard to stay a fan..Good night everyone. Hope the boys can win this one.
[100] Which one? The buffoon who couldn't get two outs tonight in a five run game or the fat ass who blew it last night?
[104] Can't hoit.
[100] The one who threw 25 pitches and got one out? He needs to be ready for another stellar outing tomorrow, obviously.
And Napoli's GS hit the top of wall and it seemed like 3 minutes before it landed in the seats. Ichiro might have made a great play there...
[108] It's true he threw 25 pitches, but to be fair, 98 of them were fouled off.
This entire organization needs a house cleaning. When they're home in October this year would be a perfect time to do it.
The life, it's all draining away. Yanks need to find a way to hold it together and scrap this bitch out.
[112] I'm not convinced they're not gonna try to find a way to get Joba in this game too.
Sigh.
I hate the motherfucking red sox.
And that, my friends, is that.
What bullpen?
Pettitte pitched well. So there's that.
[107] Smashed up watermelon, crushed ice, seltzer, and a lot of vodka.
This embarrassment would be on the national stage if somehow the team made the PS. There's that.
Silver lining, there won't be Phil or Joba next season. Here comes Joba again? Bet the fat bastard gives up another run.
[113] Holy shit.
And here I thought last night's game could have been the worst loss of the year.
[121] I'm not convinced their both gone. This team has been fucking stubborn enough to keep them both and fucking use them both this long, I just can't see them admitting they were wrong.
[119] Did someone say vodka?
Oh good, I go to refreshen my vodka tonic and it's 10-8 with Joba in.
Joba gives up a Slam here. Even Joe might stop using him.
[126] No he won't.
What's that 3 straight sliders in the dirt?
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I think Joe Girardi is trying to get fired. I really do.
Thanks Joba
Night all.
I need to find an all night dentist to get some relief. Just drill me.
Knew he'd give up a run. Now it's just a question of how many.
Fucking futility. Story of 2013.
A mugging.
Three winnable games this week. THREE. THREE FUCKING TIMES JOE GIRARDI BROUGHT THE WORST PLAYER ON THE ROSTER INTO WINNABLE GAMES.
Who the fuck is left, folks. Anybody got a fucking pitcher?
No, Joba and Hughes should have been gone at the trade deadline. This is Cash-mans fault as much as anyone's. We all wanted to see them traded even for A league players. He'll, we should have paid to get rid of them.
We're getting unfuckingdressed by zz top
[139] They found their Tush.
Joe West has a face for home plate ump work.
Fuck this
And in the end Hughes and Chamberlain team to end the Yankees season.
Really, perfect when you think about it.
