Never mind .500:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
My son took a plane to Tampa Thursday and met Chase Headley's wife. I told him that he should have mentioned to tell her husband to hit a homerun. My son said seeing her he already did.
[1] Heh.
I get the choice of the ESPN or Detroit feeds. Going with Detroit's.
Yanks go quietly, and quickly, in 1st...
That'll do.
Tigers go quietly...etc.
Yay!
Yay Teix!
Simon says, touch 'em all, Mark.
Gritner!
Alex is back to his Jorgie helmet.
[2] The Detroit guys aren't bad.
Well, that's confusing. The Tigers also have a catching McCann.
I wonder if the McCann brothers talk to each other when at bat.
I thought they were brothers. Detroit guys say they aren't related. I'm confused.
Not related per YES.
[14] Just switched over to the YES, and Michael also said they are unrelated.
Is this the A Simon who shot two guys in the DRepublic and allegedly raped a woman in Washington DC? Good to see MLB weeding out all the filth from the game..oh, they only suspend steroid users...
And CC runs him down!
[18] that was precarious.
[17] Allegedly.
[19] No, he's our shortstop!
(How often does the opportunity to say that come along???)
Hilarious!
Still faced the minimum, nice.
Easy outing for the Fat Man so far.
I'm tired of this Steven Drew.
Nice take out by Hedley.
[24] Sorry, only one we got.
I'm tired of this Precarious.
Yes,
Oh my god.
Whew.
WOW!!!
Do we have some outfield defense?
Go deeeeeeep! Pretty grab.
Wow
saving some runs this inning
Another!
Excellent.
And despite my lack of enthusiasm for Hilarious, he's supposed to have very good range, so maybe we have a decent IF too.
And another punchado.
Nice pace to this game!
This is about as good as CC has been in a long time.
Damn
Hm.
Jacoby has definitely been a minus on the base path this season.
This kid is a Brian clone!
Amazing throw to get him though.
Wow, that was some fucking play.
Sidearm!
Jeez.
Nice leather.
All you need is glove.
I hope my Sox friends are following Iglesias this year.
That's twice.
[46] nice
[45] nice too
I don't like that leadoff walk.
Not one teeny little bit.
But he has managed to induce the DP, so maybe he'll wriggle out...
Yay!
And so he did, easy-peasy!
Dang, our guys are flashing the leather too.
Keep talking, Weeping
Wow.
CC is dealing.
I like this very very very much.
[50] Prescient. And [51] they made it look easy-peasy. (Although that makes me think of Jake Peavey, who was traded for Iglesias, and whom I find despicable, so I will not write it again.)
[55] Prescient's on 3rd.
laughing
...and despicable 's on 2nd.
Wait, I thought "to cut the mustard" meant to be just good enough, adequate. Apparently Michael speaks a different dialect from mine.
Beltran is so done.
Okay, Prescient, Precarious, Despicable, good infield!
But... who's on first?
[61] yes
Come on, Migs, one more GIDP!
Oh, almost. I thought it was a dp.
Wow.
Lucky Cabrera doesn't hustle.
Don't like this.
IBBs are rarely a good idea. And what if they're walking the wrong Martinez??
Another bonehead play by Doody Gregawfulous.
Almost. But Miggy isn't going to bust a hump there.
Crap
Goddam it.
Whad I say?
Agggghh!
Motherfucker.
[66] Prescient!
I am sad now.
Shit.
Jeez.
I mean, it's just obvious. I take no credit. It's just obviously stupid to IBB a guy to put the go-ahead run on base.
That didn't end well
I bet Cashman is gnashing his teeth.
[75] Return Of The Binder?
Goddamn Fucking Bollocks!
[78] No, I think it was a hunch.
NO PLAYS PLEASE.
Grrrrrrrr.
Get those runs back!
Did we just sac bunt in front of Didi Gregorius?
"Very little balance when he does anything at the plate."
You said it, Paulie.
Yay!
[84] I'm speechless..
Is that a hit from Didi?
Seriously?
Paulie sounds like he could be a decent hitting coach.
[84] We did!
And then held Hedley. So, good thing they bunted him to second. That worked perfectly. Because he was in "scoring position".
Joba?
It's our old pal.
Joba indeed!
This is fun.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Goddam %$#*&.
Fuck you, Joba. Fuck you and your antics.
It particularly sucks that Lardo got the job done
I was really expecting a Joba Special. I could visualize it.
Damn it.
Damn it.
Damn it.
Well done Headley. If you didn't fucking run like Didi plays defense for fuck's sake!
I used to like Joba...
Precarious showed good range there.
How ungodly slow must you be to require a pinch runner to get to second on a sacrifice?
[101] that's Coach Espada's call.
[105] I'm not sure it as even a bad call. It just feels like a waste of Didi's hit for the week.
Get some runs, CC doesn't deserve a loss here.
This would be a good one to win. CC showed good form.
[105] Well unless Chase got a terrible read off Didi's hit, which I didn't see, he moseyed on over to third base and took a sad turn. The ball took a mighty big hop from the CF.
I think that was ball four.
Crud, down to last out.
Well, at least it was a quick one. G'night.
Dammit!
That's a painful loss.
A very painful loss.
Night all
Bollocks. Good game, CC.
