That’d be Vidal Nuno. Wonder if he’s got enough to tame the impressive Angels’ hitters or if this afternoon will be another long one for our boys. Then again, chances are the Yanks are going to score more than 1 run themselves.
Never mind the rain:
Let’s Go Yank-ees.

took me long enough to find the game on tv
Well that was quick.
[1] The Yankees are playing on a channel I didn't know existed, let alone had on my cable. I had to call my dad to find it b/c he gets the paper and it lists what sports are on TV.
FS1 is pretty new, meanwhile at least here local Fox has infommercials. Those are more profitable?
Promising
Now if someone can hit the ball out of the infield...
Better.
Now if someone can hit it out of the infield...
Buchholz got roughed up in the first inning. In my imagination, Clay is fretting over the fact that he just can't get a grip on the ball and misses his sun screen. Probably not. But I'm enjoying my day dream.
Preferably further out of the infield than that.
Grrr
Ha. Siddown, Douceface!
No, I refuse that run. We didn't earn it!
Okay, I'll take it.
OK
Sláinte!
Yeah, baby!
Those we earned.
Make it look easy, Bri.
Hey, now! Put a tent on that circus!
Off to mow the lawn.
Not good. (First two guys on in the fourth.)
Oh jeez. Well, I guess Brian got hit hard there. Should have held it though. Crud.
Wow!
Tip of the hat to Jacoby!
Brandon Morrow just walked four Red Sox with two out. Now he's in the clubhouse.
And AJ capitalizes with salami. Disgusting.
Double Sláinte! Congrats to the kid!
No kidding??
So, huh. He can hit. John Ryan Murphy.
Okay, it's a hit parade! Although we generally prefer for the HR to come later in the inning. Therefore I demand another HR this inning.
The Captain can still smoke a meatball.
I'm back. Looks like I missed some baseball.
[28] Not when Teix is up to bat. sigh...
Phew.
Whew.
Okay!
Betances can stay. And Murphy.
Yay, Scioscia playing match-up and Joe declines to play!
Greetings all!
Gritner!
Everyone pitches today!
Phew again
Nice job by Betances.
Ruh roh
Exhale.
Woo hoo
Just got here, and found the game. Nice strikeout by Kelly! Only the Yankees could get me watch the Faux Sport Channel.
Who are these announcers?
I believe Ken Rosenthal is one of them.
Damn shift
Thanks. I saw that Kenny Albert and Tom Verducci were also there. Not a Yankee friendly trio.
These "wire-less" Direct TV ads are disturbing.
There's another Whew. (Or as rbj prefers, Phew.)
Raul came close to changing the mood.
so just saw the JR Murphy highlights. How great is that for him?
Owie.
Brett needs those feet, too.
That's one way to hobble Gardner. Grumble...
One down.
Cowgill has the blues!
Hmmm.
YOU FUCKING MORON.
Fuck off fan. You're a total douchebag.
Fuckin fat rich fucks
Oh, dammit.
Ugh. Bad. I have a bad feeling after that fan interference and Trout steal.
55-57 back-to-back-to-back F-bombs!
Two down.
Ahhhhh.
Damn. Exhale. Whew. Etc.
That David Stern lookalike ion the stands is off the hook.
So that was Ken Rosenthal hinting that they should walk Pujols, right? Idiot.
The Alabama Hamma!
Slam Jamma!
You are NAILED, Yankee Killa!
Three down!
That was some tense exciting baseball! Phew, whew, etc.
Man, D-Rob was pumped. You could see the adrenaline in his face.
[67] those last two pitches by D-Rob were masterful.
Murphy needs a nickname. Surely his friends don't call him John Ryan.
Just for the record, I heard some players and announcers saying, "Noon-yo". There's no tilde over that "n" is there? It's noon-noh, right?
Great game, BTW. God, I hate the Angels.
[70] it is Nuno with a tilde over the second n. Probably just hard to repeatedly insert in comments since it's a special character.
Gotcha. Nuño. That makes more sense.
But how about we call him Noonan? That brings to mind my Caddyshack affliction, such as, "You're a good egg, Noonan." And "Miss it, Noonan, miss it!"
[43] Watching now, whoever they are they are terrible, especially the color guy.
[72] Lacey Underall is 60 years old this year by the way...
[73] "Want to tie me up with some of your ties, Ty?"
It's not just comments here at Bronx Banter. Most news outlets (NYT, Daily News, e.g.) seem to be omitting the tilde, and he doesn't get a tilde at Baseball Reference. He does at Wikipedia. It looks like a lot of English language sources just have a rule not to use the eñe at all. Which is odd -- in Spanish it's thought of as a different letter.
I wish the tilde were over the first 'n'. Now that would be hard to pronounce!
[75] Actually, if you still had Robbie and Mattingly, then Vidal comes in and sits next to them on the bench, you'd have... Robbie Canó Don Ñuno!
...wowzers, I can't believe I did that.
Gasp.
Yet another reminder that there's a big and mysterious world contained wholly within the mind of Chyll Will.
It's humbling, as ballplayers say.
