Love that Torre basically told Big Pouty to shut up about the official scorers.
For the life of me I can't find the game. Anyone know what channel it's on?
(Found it, never mind, thanks.)
[2] MLB network, or My9. Directv channel 726
Good start for Kuroda.
That was funny!
"Whoa!!!" is everyone's response!
[4] Cheers!
Ellsbury's scores runs like his name is Rickey Henderson!
Jacoby Ellsbury really hates first base. Maybe he's allergic.
Yay Mark!
Me!
[8] What's in a name? A run by any other name would smell as sweet.
Good start.
(For the bottom of the second I mean.)
Bad. Bad Ichiro.
Good.
Good Brian.
I live in a simple, black-and-white world.
C'mon, Jervis
Oooh. Definitely take that.
Brett with the bases juiced...
I'll take that walk
C'mon Brett
Fuck.
Adam Jones.
Not even close.
Damn it
Ugh.
Error
Ichiro was robbed on strike three Huntley got a ball called on a much better high pitch,
Okay.
Had to get an extra out. And, no perfecto for Kuroda. But, no big deal.
I'm still bitter the Yanks didn't score last inning.
good start Hiroki.
Gotta go to dinner. Banter up a Yankee win...
I guess it was Mattingly. Is that right? I'm bad at these questions, but that seems easy. Only Paul is not sure, so maybe not.
Got 'im.
Kuroda's best game of the season, so far.
Shut up Kay.
Ichiro was out by an inch, literally. Guess I can't complain. But in general I would prefer that ONLY Jacoby steal. I guess Roberts and Gardner when they feel really sure they can make it.
His pitch count is too damn high
Great five innings -- no hits, one BB, 6 K. But, 82 pitches, damn.
Obviously 'damn' is the correct epithet for a too-high pitch count.
[33] Indeed. We need some quick innings here.
Another steal
Kuroda's getting a bit of a rest
Aw crap
82 pitches going into the 6th?
Magic 8 Ball says ... unlikely.
Good trick by Jimenez, loading the bases. Sure way to get out of the inning without a run.
Hiroki ain't no spring chicken.
I'd let him go 120+ (if he doesn't struggle or get into a high inning pitch count) and then skip him next turn.
Oooops, well, that's that.
Aw nuts. Probably for the best considering the damn pitch count
[41] TOO DAMN HIGH!
Well, FUCK BAGS.
Fuck, not even a shut out
Two damn runs.
Or a lead.
What [43] said ...
[44] Not even a lead.
Wow, from no-no to crappy game in no time.
Ok, OBVIOUSLY I'm to blame here.
No hits against Kuroda before I showed up ... hits and runs AFTER I showed up ... I'm gone!
[50] I'm planning to sacrifice you to the Great Ladybug Goddess, to set the universe aright again.
It worked. (I just used an effigy.)
Another good start. Now cash them in!
Crud
Oy
Just a bit outside
[53] What is this "cash them in"?
Okay, Brett, here we go. Be a hero.
[57] something other teams can do with RISP.
But we can't
Stop doing the wave!
Hey Jetes, can you manage to do something other than hit a soft ground ball?
C'mon Cap'n!!!
That answers my question.
What a frustrating game.
Nice job McCann.
Oh.My.God.
WOWWWWWWW!!!!!!
[65] Not exactly the word I would choose for this game, 'frustrating'.
well that's a stunning end to a game I Dialed out of.
I can't believe that. That was the old stuff.
BELI!!!!
[71] It really was.
Although, the new stuff kind of led up to it.
It was a synthesis.
As I was saying…
Headline for the morning?
How about: Carlito's Way.
I'd like to take credit for that win. I just gave Sophia a pink Jeter shirt, then had her watch the 9th. I taught her about balls, strikes, outs, hits, runs, etc.
We were crossing fingers, toes, eyes, tongues, and hair. Then BELI went yard. She's a good luck charm I tell ya!!! : )
Well thanks, Sophia!
But no more pink, please. That's for Red Sox.
[73] laughing
Yes, indeed.
A good old Hegelian synthesis.
[75]
:)
RI - if they had a rainbow color shirt, I would've chosen that color!
Sophia wants to write something here:
Let's go Yankees, let's go! Woop woop : )
[79] Ah, perfect. Okay, I hereby deem Jeter-Pink to be Rainbow.
81) Woop, Woop sister!
Welcome aboard, Sophia!
My god, the Blue Jays were down 8-0. They're now winning 14-9.
Thanks guys!!!
(She's in bed now...)
