The Yanks are back in the Bronx where they’ll play eight games in the next eight days. This is the final home stand of Derek Jeter’s career.
Ellsbury CF
Jeter SS
McCann DH
Teixeira 1B
Young RF
Gardner LF
Headley 3B
Drew 2B
Cervelli C
We’ll be root-root-rooting him on.
Never mind the curtain calls:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Gotta be a hit for Jeet.
Yup.
Odd
Swing, Brett!
Thief!
At least Mark can still flash the leather.
Hey, who were the regular commenters who referred to one another as "My fellow Scotsman"? That has a whole different meaning today, I was just thinking.
Ooof. Robbed.
Yanks' BA with RISP during last travel series was .095! That is unprecedented.
And a.175 BA. Oof.
At this rate, it'll be a 2:20 game...
A run!!!!
Glory glory!
Hallelujah
One may be enough tonight. Greene is on fire
Long time coming, but welcome!
A Jeter Home Run! Yankees can't lose now.
I missed the Captain's homer! Like fleeting glimpse of Mt. Fuji, it appears only infrequently but the memory of it's perfect beauty remains...
Or I can just go to mlb.com for the replay..
[17] I didn't know mlb.com had replays of Mt. Fuji.
[18] Fuji would be great, it is the 'mysterious lady' after all..as long as they don't show that dunbbass who hung a Japanese Imperial flag in Kansas City to show support for Aoki..yikes...
So great to see Jeets yank that one into the seats.
Team actually getting hits
It looks like Scotland is voting against their independence.
What up, gang?
Go Yankees!
[22] phew. My Scottish heritage wants independence, but it really doesn't make sense geopolitically or economically.
Joey Bats with a man on, that's what I was hoping we'd avoid.
Agita.
Looked like he was walking back to the dugout after first strike!
Yep.
Yep. Exactly.
I hate that fuckstick.
ARGH.
Nothing's easy.
[24] Not so sure about that..I havn't seen many convincing arguments for staying part of the UK but I suppose it's not a home-run case either way..
Jose loves the high pitch...
Dammit.
[30] Scots are banking on North Sea oil, but production there is starting to slip.
[33] But there's plenty of Laphroaig.
[34] Number one customer.
Well, there's a start.
PR for Young? Interesting. Huh.
Brett better not bunt.
I smell a play.
And will it be the Scottish play?
Oh... now maybe bunt. Well, rather have the walk I guess.
[38] Oooooooh.
Oh, come on, Brett. Fair is foul and foul is fair. (See [38])
Wow, that was a surprise bunt! Fairly successful too.
Risky bunt worked
Yay!!!!!!
Mets 1986...
And it didn't end in tragedy!
Mmmmmmm.... Laphroaig...
Nice win.
The blow that was the be-all and end-all!
(I love Macbeth, I could do this all night.)
[46] Nope. Headley stuck the dagger in them though.
Jeter used to be the first cat bounding over that dugot rail. Tonight was a bit on the slow side. ; )
Night all.
[48] "That which hath made RIYank drunk hath made him bold,
What hath quenched him hath given him fire..."
[52] Laphoiag and Macbeth in the same line!
None of woman born shall hit D-Rob. Glad he gets the W since Greene couldn't.
[53] Laphroiag! Whisky...lechery, sir, it provokes and unprovokes...
Shit. I am still crying over that perfect Jeter Gatorade spot. I mean sobbing out loud. I don't think I can watch any more games.
Thanks for the memories Alex and Crew.
