I still do a double-take when I see "Ellsbury" in the list. For some reason I've accepted Beltran with no cognitive dissonance.
Maybe by May...
I am really in the mood for a baseball game. Let's start early!
Good hustle, Teix.
A team with Albert Pujols and Mike Trout, and the clean-up hitter is... Raul Ibanez.
Scioscia is way too deep for me.
Raul makes me eat my words.
Nice job.
Okay, I can carry this myself apparently -- at least while we're in the field. I might need help to score some runs.
Or hits.
At least I was patient and ran up CJ's pitch count.
Ian Stewart. Very irritating.
Man, he hit into the shift, and if Roberts hadn't shifted it would have been a very easy play.
Hm.
I may need some help, amigos.
Yipe. Bad hitter doubles on an 0-2 count. Not good.
Grrrr ... down 3-0 already?
Fuck the Angels.
[12] It's because Scioscia is a genius. Girardi has been helpless.
Brian, wtf are you looking at?
Argh.
WTF?
Not a fun game.
5 to fucking Nothing?!?!?!?
Fuck this shit.
3 f-bombs already, Cult?
[17] You watching? The words are well-chosen, believe me.
[17] I come pre-pissed off when we're playing the Angels ...
Sigh.
Alright, I've got better things to do ...
CJ appears to have tamed the Yankee bats.
J.B. Shuck sounds like the name of some focus-group spawned, middle-brow, buzzword driven "bistro" ...
Billings rocks, I think. Except for the Aybar blast.
I take that back! Get him out of there.
Good night, you two.
I am starting to get the impression that Kuroda is going in the other direction. He tired badly last year and has had trouble in his last couple of starts. There are only so many bullets in the gun. Fortunately, the team seems to be much better offensively this year so they can carry a mediocre starter or two.
