Warm n muggy in the Bronx.
Ball should flying around today. Chris Capuano makes his Yankee debut:
Gardner LF
Jeter SS
Ellsbury CF
Beltran DH
McCann 1B
Headley 3B
Suzuki RF
Roberts 2B
Cervelli C
Never mind the humidity:
Let’s Go Yank-ees

I obviously don't pay attention to other teams. Capuano is a starter? I see that now looking at his stats. I just somehow didn't realize it before.
yikes. hopefully he can get out of this.
Phew. So, 25+ pitches in the first inning. He's been working as reliever all year. Is he stretched out at all?
stupid is as stupid does.
yeah, i think he has 209 starts under his belt. he's had a modicum of success. i remember him mostly as a brewer.
can't say i'm happy with 2 BBs and a hbp so far...
i'll take that gift out!
stoopid bunt...
[5] thelarmis! Thought i was doing this solo.
ichiro caught the 3rd out again.
cap is working slowly, but no runs after two.
[7] duets are more fun!
Only have a few more minutes before taking off for Lake Gaston. A couple of runs please.
every time kay introduces chase headley, i think he's saying "chase utley"
[10] trios are the best!
Lake Gaston sounds like NC, but I think you said you were traveling the Penna Turnpike...
I'm making like that dragon fly and flying off.
[12] Ohio & PA turnpikes to the parents in Newport News, today it's from N.N. to the lake. House is actually in VA. But can only get there from NC.
i'm a big maddux fan. i hope he has a few of his dry humor witty one-liners tomorrow!
[9] indeed. and rbj!
jetes with a good throw deep in the hole!
[14] nice. travel safely and enjoy!
nicely done captain.
[14] pa turnpike makes me cry. safe travels!
nice, quick, easy inning with very few pitches thrown!
2 for 2!
i got to see derek jeter get two hits today.
very cool! : )
[21] haha, awesome!
yikes. 30 pitches through 3 innings is mighty efficient for Hutchinson.
[19] if the Penna Trnpk makes you cry, what would happen on the Cross Bronx Expressway?
I'm liking this Yankee team, and it's ironic that seemingly (sorry for the "ly" adverb Alex) 75% of the payroll is stagnant, and 25% is carrying the team
[25] They are different animals really. It's been a long time since i've been on the cross bronx expressway though.
unfortunately safe.
i'm gonna get quiet here as I dive into work more. I'm just hoping Capuano can go 5, or even better 6. So far so good really. Knocking on wood...
nice freaking catch, rbj!!!
Oh, and it's weird how when I looked how to spell his name all i can think of is guano.
what a catch!
Paulie O is quite likable in the booth.
nice cap! (-uano, not DJ)
[30] he's better than before. Someone told him to liven it up with relevant comment about players feelings, behavior etc. and less of the goofiness. He's better prepared, winging it less.
[30] yup, even through the goofiness, he can express the experience , feel and thought process of the players.
[32] good advice, glad he heeded!
crushed!!!
mcCANn!!!
HEADley!!!
heads up bunt. nice work, chase.
ok i had to pop back for that. awesome shift beater!
bad ichi...
32>33 but like minds...
c'mon brains, another double.
crap. nice catch on the warning track...
don't walk the super fast guy.
dammit, leche.
Melky just loves hitting against the Yankees
please get a DP now...
crap.
tie game.
Off to my second Little League game of the day. My 9-yr old's team got a walkoff 10-9 victory this morning. Fortunately this 12-yr old's game is in MY town. Go Yanks!
wow, great fielding play by cap-guano!
omg what the fuck was that?
Bases loaded, Thornton in to face lefties. The over-under is 2 1/2 runs allowed
There's 1
Despite the run, admirable job.
[51] 1 run in that situation is practically an escape. Though we need to come up with our own runs now somehow.
oh geez that's the game right there. fuck.
(50). Of course, I meant to say Francis.
