I hate booing Robbie. Athletes have a limited time to make as much as they can.
Was that a 90 mph change-up??
It was.
Me!
[2] You and Jeter both.
I know, and Michael Kay.
Well, I'm in some good company.
Not well played.
Ellsbury is a little wall-shy.
Attaboy, Phelpsy.
Holy shit, Sori looks like he's up there blindfolded.
But that I'll applaud
Thank heaven for small favors
Baserunning blunder
Do we have the worst base running in MLB, or do I just notice our dumb mistakes more?
[13] Why not both?
[14] My head asplode.
Oy
No way. That was clearly a foul ball.
That's Captain's 2nd big fuck up in a few days. sigh...
Is it reviewable?
Damn, I'm wrong, it's fair.
So Seager has two triples...
So it's both teams
Looks like Mariners trying to run up the score
Hmmmm.
Yeah, other teams make really dumb base running blunders too.
That's two picked-off-caught-stealings.
Fortunately, we should be able to score plenty of runs against King Felix.
Port Jervis!
Solo has Felix' number
Port Jarvis!
Sori does not fill me with confidence here.
Felix has Sori's number
Holy shit.
Really, is he closing his eyes??
Sorry Sori
There is zero reason for Soriano to get a single strike in an at bat. Ever.
This is the guy I want up with two RISP and two out.
Well, actually, Solarte is the guy. But Ichiro is second.
We'll take it!
Felix just said a bad word...
Ichi-san with an assist from Felix
Fuck yes.
I'm not proud. I'll take two that way.
Those old guys coming through!
More baserunning blunders
Not!
Oh, lovely.
The Yankees take the Baserunning Blunder lead!
Fucking nonsense.
That shot of his family was incredibly cute.
Evening all, sounds like I've missed a good, clean, crisp game of baseball!
NOT!
[45] Little Leaguers are ashamed of this game.
[46] Barnum and Bailey find it somewhat embarrassing.
[47] As do the Keystone Kops.
Let's pitch to Cano this time!
Good job, David
Bold prediction: Seager will not triple this time.
Bold prediction: Soriano will strike out.
NO!
Jeez, Sori, that was predictable
Sori wants us to forget how good he was last year
Soriano vs King Felix sure seems like a Bambi vs Godzilla kind of match up ...
Teixeira bobble head night. Wonder how many of them will need to be pulled out of the lineup.
This team needs to be put in burlap bags and beaten with reeds ...
Oh, well played, gentlemen.
He might have been out, but I think the call will stand.
The Yanks got em where they want em. Bases loaded no one put. He looked safe to me.
blegh
That left field view where you can see solarte's glove move before his foot hit the bag was a good shot. Shoulda been out. A better throw would have been ideal.
Regardless just a stupid play
That was supposed to be "out" ; damn iPad spell correct.
Oh Christ not Matt Thornton
This season is turning towards unpleasurable torture.
This is the ideal situation for Betances. I mean, I don't think they get much higher leverage than this -- except in the ninth inning maybe.
So, of course, we'll go to Thornton.
[68] Kid did throw 2 innings yesterday and frankly, has been worked fairly hard so far this season, it's not clear that he's available tonight ...
I'm just going to guess that the percentages for "trying to bunt it over the charging third baseman's head" are lowish.
[68] If I thought there was a realistic chance that they might get rid of Thornton I might root for the usual Thornton meltdown in a game that's realistically already lost just to make him finally leave.
[52] NostraRIYank!
[70]I once saw Larry Walker do that.
I think he got a double.
I give up.
And yes, just fucking cut him. Send a message. There's got to be someone better they can trade for.
Would also be nice if Teixeira wasn't the most expensive fucking medical report outside of good ol' CC.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Yeesh.
Jesus Fucking Christ! Base hit my ass. Fire the the scorekeeper. Better yet. Put him at first.
Ah, the white flag is warming up in the bullpen ...
Night all. Hot and my touchpad is flaking out
Did someone sat Nostra? I'm here!
But I best get back to pracketing before I pass out from hunger (or checking the scoreboard).
We'll be below .500 before ya know it... : /
You know, I'm not even upset about this loss. A bad offensive team wasn't going to beat Felix Hernandez.
But holy fucking Christ on a fucking cracker its time to cut Kelly Johnson. E-fucking-nough.
It's a pity that the Yankees have already made their trip to the Los Angeles of Anaheim, I'm about in a mood to want to go to a game and heckle almost everybody on the team ...
Yeesh.
As well informed fans, we know why this team is not performing. But that payroll! One could fix every school in the Bronx with that money. At least we have Tanaka to be excited about, and Port Jervis and Betances has been inserting to watch.
Is this the bottom, or will it get worse?
Inserting should be exciting. Again auto correct, but inserting kinda fits too!
That was a hell of a catch by Ichiro.
[84] Oh, it could get much, much worse if Boston starts to move up the standings and we have to battle Tampa & B'more to stay out of last place..
Remember the payroll is for past performance.
Well, i'm glad i didn't watch the first 7.5 innings. Any chance we can rally?
oops, wrong team killed the rally.
[89] no
Had to refire the computer. Was hoping Seager would go deep. He ran two bases too many for a cycle. He over-cycled.
New stat: the over-cycle.
[58] Would it be alright if we just got Ed Reed to come over and sack each of them? Maybe a few times; get the rookie Calvin Pryor in there as well...
