Alex Rodriguez DH
Mark Teixeira 1B
Chase Headley 3B
Stephen Drew 2B
Garrett Jones RF
John Ryan Murphy C
Didi Gregorius SS
Never mind the blossoms:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Pineda should be aces today, don't you think?
You betcha!
Crap
Crud.
Tough luck start so far.
Off to grandson wood bat game.
Nice pick by John Ryan.
Yanks should be able to get to the rookie. Go Yanks!
Double suck.
Grrrrrr.....
Nice, Alex.
Knotted up at deuces!
Go, Alex, go!
I'd kill myself if I had Rays season tix and had to listen to those freakin annoying kids on the PA
[11] Yup.
a buddy of mine who was a lifelong braves fan has abandoned them with the highly contentious move to the suburbs. for some odd reason, he's adopted the devil fishes as his new team. on one hand, i understand him being pissed at the bravos but on the other, i have difficulty with fickle fans going all out on a new team. and, if he's gonna go to florida for fish, why not pick the Marlins who are division rivals of his newly hated bravos?
tampon has a shitty stadium and non-existent fanbase. plus, they lost pretty much everyone, save for Longo...
with #35 on the mound, Flash and Singleton are talking about Mussina.
I miss Mikey Moose. should be a HOFer!
They're afraid of Alex!
Mr. OBP!
Headly!
another run for Alex.
i dig Chase!
5-2 Yanks
I know it's only the Rays but theYanks are finally starting to play the way God intended them to play.
[19] I'm definitely enjoying it more.
I feel like it has something to do with Passover. God's intentions, I mean.
[13] When the Giants and Jets abandoned the city, my family stopped rooting for them. Never really adopted an alternative team, though.
drew fouling off a thousand pitches...
good a-b by drew.
[20] remember when i had my own pesach last week when i had everyone leaning to the right? that was fun.
[21] yeah, he's acting like the biggest Rays fan on the planet. i find it to be fake, shallow, and annoying.
Heh, the shift took away the double play.
J.R. foolishly chased the high heat. feh.
[23] Oh yeah! I didn't understand that you were... celebrating. -Wherefore is this font different from our usual font?
-This font is reclining.
Ruh roh!
crap.
5-3
[26] i call it "fon font"
never underestimate the power of autocorrect on the iphone!
nice-ish play!
Missed it by thatmuch, Alex.
looks like a-rod has added pine tar to his rosin helmet.
gave it a ride, but didn't get it all and we didn't get that run back.
c'mon, Blue!
there it is!
nice play.
he was OUT!
can't turn this call.
Big Mike's afternoon is over.
I like Pineda a lot a, in the dome with no rain. I don't miss Asshole Joe Maddon. He had half a brain.
reliever hits the first batter he faces.
it's not what you want.
Strike three!
good.
shift creates a hit!
Garret Jones!
normally i'd be excited to have the bases loaded.
but sir didi is batting. cue the commercial break...
why even appeal that?
Doody Godawfulous strikes (out) again !
Sigh
it's like we're an NL team with a pitcher in the 9-hole. i fucking hate it. this kid cannot hit a baseball. : /
(yes, i realize sir dodo has two hits today. sometimes, even pitchers get lucky.)
I have not yet climbed aboard the Didi Wagon.
he beat the shift outta that.
something tells me these are going to be 9 tough outs.
Even without Maddon it's a chess game.
Anyone remember the Cajun chef, Justin Wilson. He was a riot - I garontee it dat
He was on my chef fantasy team.
Hm!
So Betances and Miller will get eight outs between them?
big spot here for dellin.
ugh on the wild pitch
WTF is with the WPs???
[51] A-yup
the online mlb.tv feed is a few pitches ahead of the mlb.tv roku on the tube.
Dellin, Dellin, the strikeout machine!
Man, that pitch is just unhittable. (Especially when it goes to the backstop, I guess.)
Phew!
hey, we get out of it unscathed!
Nice.
Well, that particular out was an easy one!
dodo was positioned perfectly.
i would like brett to go yard right now.
let's keep 'em off the board, dellin.
nice quick out!
Too many walks.
nice K
BAM.
Excellent work, Dellin.
I think he's only thrown three fastballs. Two to Jennings and that one to Dykstra that he fouled off.
off to the 9th!
Ahhh.
So he got Guyer with a fastball.
Interesting.
[72] they were all 95-96 mph.
22 pitches, 5 outs, no runs.
i'll take it!
I think Tanaka watches Housewives because that show is probably better if you don't understand the language.
Sigh, no insurance.
it's Miller Time
Miller time.
Oh goddam it. I just hate that. Curse you thelarmis.
Gulp
Hm.
Shoulda had a Michelob.
definitely not what you want.
One down
[81] great minds drink alike!
[83] i don't drink swill.
shoulda had an Anderson Valley Heelch O'Hops. wait, i had several last night...and am still feeling it!
Two down
Wow.
I guess he's okay.
2 K's!
one more out 'til brooms!!!
[86] Well, but good beer can't really be used in a "Miller Time" metaphorical replacement, if you see what I mean.
I stuck to Sam Adams last night. Spent it in Boston, so.
(81) Apologize, rbj
Yay!
SWEEP!!!
Woo-hoo!
We needed that series.
Three down. Three strikeouts!
[91] i think RI meant me, 'coz we posted the same thing. me first! : )
You know, the Yankees are quietly 5-2 over their last seven games.
Bring on Meredith's Massive Marakotits
Miller = 3 K's, 4th save, 500th strikeout (career, RI, not today!)
he did get about 3 nice calls...
[90] i follow that.
[97] nice.
[98] ; )
[98] Her cleavage has been literally "over the top" lately. You might even call it "off the hook."
