Francisco Cervelli C

Never mind last night:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
That's Heddy!
1) Yes!
Classic. Sadly, even Mel Brooks probably wouldn't be allowed to make it these days.
Nice job to get Beltre there. Let's Go Yank-ees!
Texas can win tomorrow cause they've got Yu Darvish going. Otherwise Yanks need to win these 2 other games.
Nice, Gardy. C'mon Jetes.
So we're back to this shit.
It's the new guy!
Wriggled out of it!
How do you pronounce Roughned Odor? 'Row-ned O-door'?
Dang, circus catch.
ROOG-ned.
(11) Thanks! Great name.
What's up with Ichiro? Why is Kelly Johnson playing RF??
[13] Girardi wants to keep his bat in the lineup. Headley will presumably be taking over third base duties.
Headley looks like a kid without his facial hair.
El Duque!
They still got Wheeler? Day-um.
Blegh. Not much happening tonight.
Good outing by Chase.
This is a National League game, circa 1972.
Not exactly an offensive onslaught tonight.
Joey Bagodonuts playing for both teams tonight
I auspicious debut for Headley...
Bottom of this lineup is a disgrace. I'm sorry, I can't give Cashman a free pass anymore, this roster is horribly constructed.
Inauspicious
Time for a walk off.
Cap'n!
Dammit!
Have a busy day tomorrow, night all.
Of course, NHK dropped the game to give us news about some J-pop star's anal warts.
I see on Game Day we got our money's worth out of Beltran.
I'm never going to stop beating this dead horse, but it makes no sense not to give Cano the moon and then spend the next 3 years trading for and buying also-rans, especially when you have no faith in your farm system. I bet someone could do a financial analysis to prove that it's cheaper to keep paying Cano past his prime than shopping in the bargain bin every July or hoping relics like Beltran have something left in the tank.
It's like you're playing Let's Make A Deal. You do not own a car, and you may never be able to own a car, but you need a car. Do you want to keep the Cadillac or go what's hiding behind Door No. 1?
At least Alex will be back next year. ;>)
Remember, 1968, that venerated "Year of the Pitcher" was also called "Year of the Infield Pop-Up" at the time by Roger Angell.
(30) You are beating a dead horse about Cano and I would recommend reading "Bloodsport" the new book about the PED scandal. Arod will not be back.
[32] Uh, that was joke about Alex. Hence, the emoticon.
I was hoping they would touch up Melido Perez for the walk off.
Hello, all. Let's go Yankees!
(32) No offense but the book is fascinating. Part detective story, part keystone cops. Some well known and unknown despicable characters.
[36] Thanks for the rec.
Unfortunately, The Strange Case of Girardi is no mystery. He can always be counted on to give up outs in close games, even when one of the most prolific hitters in the history of baseball is batting.
Fingers crossed, this one has a happy ending.
Fuck!
Keep taking!
[39] They never listen to me. Why the fuck not take until you get 2 strikes?
Let's cut to the Chase.
That's nice.
Here we go.
Get a good pitch to hit, McCann. Ya' Bum!
Or that. Fucking BOLLOCKS!
Jeff Francis..career 4.95 ERA
Uh oh, is Frankie Brains hurt again??
[46] Cervelli is baseball's version of John McClane...or Jason.
Why wasn't Ichiro bunting? Isn't he the Yankees' DB?
Dear Yankees,
Please fucking plate the winning run.
Thanks.
-me
#HOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!
The ending kept presenting itself for Headley. He finally took advantage. Nice.
Pretty cool day for him, eh?
CHASE!!!
That's using your Headley.
And he gets a face to face with Meredith. ; )
I take back everything I said. Cashman is a GODDAMN GENIUS!
Wow. Most Gatorade showers miss their mark. Gardner had a bullseye with with the bonus bucket on Headley's head. Ha.
[54] Nice one. And seductively suitable for family viewing.
[56] I'm on Gameday. Was there a wet T-shirt moment?
[58] Same ol' Boat, this humidity can't keep your girly radar down.
Great win, フレーーーーー！
[58] Only for Chase. Meredith escaped unscathed. lol....
[58] I am supposed to be writing some ads for Mitsubishi Electric. These are procrastination posts. The closer I get to the deadline without being finished the more creative I am.
[60] Just saw it. She was quick. If I was a Yankee, I would aim for her rack.
[61] Meredith is my height and a veteran reporter, any Yankee does that and they'll likely get a punch and HR complaint!
[62] Dude, Meredith has 15 pounds of muscle on you. She was a college athlete.
You have to make it look like an accident. She got kind of splashed a few games ago.
