Saving Face

Yanks got a ray of luck this afternoon when the Twins came from behind to beat Tampa. In order to avoid a catastrophic weekend, they need to stop mincing around and beat the Red Sox.

And we're under way!

2 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 15, 2013 7:14 pm

Holiday here today and Typhoon Man-Yi has just hit. A good morning to stay snug at home and watch championship-caliber baseball!

3 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 7:17 pm

Grandy!!!

4 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 15, 2013 7:17 pm

Let's steal a win and get the fuck out of town!

5 rbj   ~  Sep 15, 2013 7:17 pm

Thanks Clay!

6 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 7:18 pm

1-0

7 rbj   ~  Sep 15, 2013 7:18 pm

I'll take it.

8 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 7:18 pm

I'm with you, cult!!!

9 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 15, 2013 7:19 pm

So Kruk thinks Alex didn't want a big inning and was content to just hit one to short. Oi.

10 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 15, 2013 7:23 pm

[9] Half inning in and I'm ready to mute. Just awful.

11 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 7:24 pm

Sori!

Watch that thumb diving back, buddy.

12 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 7:24 pm

Fuck Kruk.

13 randym77   ~  Sep 15, 2013 7:31 pm

Good grief. That one almost went out.

14 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 15, 2013 7:32 pm

Sigh.

15 rbj   ~  Sep 15, 2013 7:33 pm

Not as bad as I thought it would be.
But there it is anyway.

16 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 7:34 pm

i cannot begin to tell you how much i fucking hate that goddman fat ass ugly as hell lying sack o' shit.

17 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 7:36 pm

good pitch, nova.

jesus.

18 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 7:37 pm

yankee killer.

19 rbj   ~  Sep 15, 2013 7:37 pm

Fuck!

20 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 15, 2013 7:37 pm

Jesus..why do they keep pitching to Ortiz and Napoli?
I'm going to walk outside in the typhoon, will be more enjoyable.

21 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 15, 2013 7:38 pm

Well, guess it's time to go watch the 49ers and the Seahawks. I should have stuck to my Friday night vow to not watch another pitch until Tuesday ...

22 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 7:39 pm

nova's triceps injury is looming large here tonight...

23 Alex Belth   ~  Sep 15, 2013 7:46 pm

Nova's got to be hurt. This could be a nightmare tonight.

24 randym77   ~  Sep 15, 2013 7:48 pm

So, maybe it's time to give Betances a shot?

25 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 15, 2013 7:52 pm

Breaking Bad, News Room, Boardwalk Empire will keep my away from this crap. 3-1 already. See y'all next series.

26 rbj   ~  Sep 15, 2013 8:01 pm

Hmm, could be an early night for both starters.

27 rbj   ~  Sep 15, 2013 8:04 pm

Pasta for Alex!

28 rbj   ~  Sep 15, 2013 8:10 pm

Brendan!

29 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 15, 2013 8:15 pm

There's that glove we've been hearing about.

I've never watched Breaking Bad but with all the Twitter fuss I'm getting turned off of watching. Surely it's not as good as the seminal TV of my childhood, shows like Cop Rock and Manimal.

30 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 8:28 pm

that's one way of taking out a yankee killer.

31 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 8:30 pm

catcher: catch the fucking ball.

goddamn it.

32 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 8:31 pm

if they score here, i'll be pissed about a no interference call...

33 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 8:33 pm

jesus, nova.

what a bunch o' crap.

34 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 8:35 pm

right, orel. the AL pitcher of the month who is throwing with a triceps injury is not trying. good analysis. BUT, if he were "lazy" on the mound and locating, he'd be a fierce competitor?

fuck off.

35 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 8:36 pm

that's worse than little league.

ryan's glove is as good as stewart's.

absolutely fucking PATHETIC.

36 rbj   ~  Sep 15, 2013 8:36 pm

What the hell was that?

37 randym77   ~  Sep 15, 2013 8:36 pm

Ugh. That was ugly.

38 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 15, 2013 8:37 pm

[34} See, thelarmis, what Nova needs to do is first whiten his skin, then grow an horrendous looking beard, then assume the nickname 'Novy', THEN he'l produce fire on the mound!

39 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 8:43 pm

[38] the competitiveness will "ooze out of every pore, as it does for the entire boston team."

yes, he said that.

40 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 8:45 pm

great, a-rod being pulled from the game already.

our new DH - vernon wells.

41 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 8:46 pm

and vernon gets cheers from the idiots at the shitty stadium with the stoopid wall.

42 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 15, 2013 8:47 pm

[39] Like I said, white skin, beards, tattoos. Not like those lazy dark Latins. And that's Orel, supposedly the 'brainy' one! Really, is there NO ONE at ESPN who listens to these guys??

43 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 15, 2013 8:51 pm

And there it is! The 'Beard' segment. Yes, they are such grinding Gym Rats. I can't take anymore, time to put on this Tito Puente CD on my desk.

44 rbj   ~  Sep 15, 2013 8:53 pm

Oh, that's the Red Sox secret. They "love to play baseball." unlike history's greatest monster, A -Rod, who hates playing baseball so much he's appealing a suspension.

Gawd the slurpping is unbearable.

45 randym77   ~  Sep 15, 2013 8:57 pm

Quite the "Yankees Suck" chant they had going there.

46 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 8:58 pm

fuck boston. i hate the entire organization. may they get swept in the first round.

yeah, i'm gonna practice marimba and work on my education materials. fuck this crap.

if we don't sweep tampon, we're done...

47 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 9:00 pm

[43] yeah, nauseating.

[44] exactly. and it's not like a-rod beat his wife and threw down an elderly team employee.

[45] that was my last straw...

48 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 9:01 pm

adam warren in to give up the granny...

49 el3men2lokot   ~  Sep 15, 2013 9:04 pm

So many haters here lol...just admit it the Yankees suck and the Sox got u all beat and if u thought u were going to make it to October better pray your "ace" CC can get his shit together soon...Yankees suck ass with a straw!

50 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 9:07 pm

and by granny, i mean 2 awesome K's and a harmless fly out! : )

51 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 15, 2013 9:08 pm

[50] We knew it all along!
thelarmis, this Tito Puente record is mad, you would love it.

52 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 9:14 pm

[51] i'm sure. i've got a box set that is all kindsa awesome. what a brilliant artist!!!

53 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 9:21 pm

tight right calf for a-rod, to go along with his tight left hamstring.

good times.

54 randym77   ~  Sep 15, 2013 9:21 pm

That was kind of a neat story about Mo.

55 rbj   ~  Sep 15, 2013 9:22 pm

Blergh. Got a Monday morning meeting, night all.

56 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 9:27 pm

[54] what was it? hit mute awhile back...

57 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 15, 2013 9:33 pm

One thing to look forward to in the off-season. Never seeing Fat Bastard in pinstripes again.

58 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 9:38 pm

the ejection couldn't have happened to a more disgusting looking creature.

wait...he's replaced by a look-a-like! go figure...

59 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 9:38 pm

[57] this is true.

i'm gonna miss grandy though. i've always liked him.

60 randym77   ~  Sep 15, 2013 9:49 pm

[56] They said at the All-Star game, they saw him waiting in line at a concession.

Boggled their minds. Most baseball players give a clubbie some money and tell them to go get whatever they want. But Mo was waiting in a long line, just like a normal person.

61 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 9:52 pm

[60] that rules! thanks : )

62 randym77   ~  Sep 15, 2013 10:02 pm

This game is a nightmare.

63 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 15, 2013 10:10 pm

One thing to look forward to in the off-season. Never seeing Fat Bastard in pinstripes again.

64 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 15, 2013 10:11 pm

Oops. Very sorry. Please forgive, [63] was a reply to [62].

65 thelarmis   ~  Sep 15, 2013 10:19 pm

[62] well, amazingly, the shit sox did not reach double digits.

color me shocked.
