Will miss it. Going to the Mud Hens tonight. Currently 73°F.
Warren can pitch but he takes too long and resists strike one. Speed up, and work ahead.
Ugh. It's so depressing to be in a dome. And I'm not even in the dome.
Hey, it's Flash!
Well, there's an inning
wish we had something to show for that frame.
cure for an 0-19? yankee pitching.
nice dp!
25 pitches for each pitcher in the first...
Man, look at Alex go!
Damn, that was a sweet sound!
God, such a sweet sound.
That was high, too. NIce to see he can that around.
turn
Another a-bomb!
A-BOMB!!!
another no-doubter and another beautiful swing! sounded really good too.
so stupid to throw the ball back on the field...
his 100th hit at the Trop and now sole possession of #9 on the Runs list.
btw, i called the homer here at home : )
That's really impressive he got such good extension on that.
That was no cookie.
why is chris young bunting???
what a waste of an at-bat.
great. sir baserunning blunder is up... glad we gave up an out to move a runner into scoring position.
ugh.

no idea why that posted twice...
good job, dodo. BOO!!!
Man, that was some shot by Alex. Two of his three homers have been bombs. Crazy.
Decent start by Warren...
alex crushed it 471 feet!
Beli looks weak... : (
nice job, adam.
Omg, that 0-1 to Alex was NOT a strike!
Damon. Finally saw it. Quite the shot.
Way to go, Stephen! Ties Arod at 3hRs.
holy crap!
that's drew's 100th.
8th brother team to have 100 homers apiece.
nice a-b. should've done that last time....
[24] agreed.
shocking!
wow. dodo sucks at baseball.
i miss shane greene...
I think you can count the good at bats Gregorius has had on one hand.
nice k.
[31] one digit, more like it.
i'm really fed up with him already. i had been open to him being on the team. completely over it now...
almost a nice play...
[33] He seems like a good guy and I want to see him succeed, but damn, show me *something*
Of course
fuck shit piss and hell.
first career homer. crap.
now we're losing.
argh.
sigh
[35] Agreed.
crap.
i called that one too : (
game over.
[35] yeah. i don't have much hope for the bat though...
what are you looking at, chase?!?!
Alex en FUEGO!!!
YES
Man, talk about carrying a team.
God.
Ok, top priority: KEEP ALEX HEALTHY!
Like, maybe even call it a day for him now.
WOW!!!
Hot damn!
I was just about to go to bed, thinking they had no chance to overcome a 2-run deficit. Am I being too pessimistic?
it's nice to see him smile : )
that 1-1 pitch was high and outside. drew had to swing at that last pitch.
bugger.
Nice throw.
Defense. What a concept.
Good thing Ellsbury wasn't running. Wouldn't want to avoid the double play.
Oh, this is always fun.
Another dropped throw by Didi
That's a swing.
I missed TWO A-Rod taters??! :(
They'll figure out this pinch runner thing one of these years. I just know it.
Alex reminds me of Jorgie, with all that schmutz on his helmet.
Alex!!
Dude, the man is so locked in. Even the pitches he lays off are impressive. He got 2 good swings on fastballs in that at bat, fouled them back, and you figure he won't get another one and then he squares up the slider and nails it.
Bad Ass at bats.
The "old Alex?"
I wouldn't blame anyone for being suspicious of Alex but I didn't expect him to come back and compete like this after missing a year and having all those health problems.
GOOD night!
[85] No one did.
Yay!
Thank you, Alex!
Good win. Cheers, y'all.
Hey, that one was FUN!
Haven't had many of those.
Sorry I missed the A-Rod fireworks. Hens had their own, with 3 triples, including two in one inning.
Usually for opening weekend I've got long johns and flannel lined pants with my winter coat. Didn't even need my medium coat tonight.
So, I still enjoy the "FU I can still rock it" performance from A-Rod, and the way it's going to piss so many people off. Maybe not as much as if he hadn't been such a dickhead, but I still get a kick out of it.
Am I alone?
You are not alone!
Gonna have to watch his 8th inning at-bat later.
Let's take this series!
[71] Like MJ sang, 'You Are Not Alone!' But stay off Twitter..the anti-Arod nonsense is torrential. Jeff Pearlman, the sportswriter, blocked me after I called him a McCarthyite for saying ARod was likely still juicing. :)
73) Good for you! You rabble rouser. 71) Not alone. I'm enjoying it.
[73] [74] Oh, you don't know the half of it Alex, you should see Jazz in action.
So like if Pearlman had few weeks of mediocre Tweets or features and then wrote a brilliant one we should suspect him of using mind altering drugs? What a schmuck.
