A Beautiful Night in May

tumblr_nnr958nGP91qbhl2oo1_500

When we look back on the 2015 season we’ll be able to recognize tonight’s game as one of the loveliest in terms of the weather. It’s a beautiful spring night, a little cool, you’ll need a sweatshirt or a jacket at the ball park, but it’s crisp and clear, just a great night to be at the Stadium. Maybe a little cool later, but not prohibitively cold.

Didi Gregorius SS

The latest Big Question Mark is on the hill for the Yanks. Weaver, Black Jack McDowell, Pavano, Burnett, you know the line. I don’t have a read on the guy yet. He reminds me of Pavano physically but with more stuff. I can’t figure out if he’s a mope like Pavano yet. I don’t want to think so. It’d be really cool to see him get better unlike, says, A.J. who just sort of was what he was.

Never mind those birds a’chirpin’:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Missed it by thatmuch.

Sterling called it a homerun. It wasn't even "It is high it is far it is caught" He called it a homer.

Mark! Oy

5 Alex Belth   ~  May 7, 2015 6:47 pm

Gardy looks so scrubby it's great!

6 rbj   ~  May 7, 2015 6:47 pm

Dammit! Looks like a high scoring game tonight.

7 rbj   ~  May 7, 2015 6:55 pm

Hey, I think that statue moved

8 Alex Belth   ~  May 7, 2015 7:04 pm

Bomb. Guessed right.

9 rbj   ~  May 7, 2015 7:04 pm

661! And he'll get that ball back.

10 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 7, 2015 7:05 pm

Kapow!

11 rbj   ~  May 7, 2015 7:23 pm

Shift that

12 rbj   ~  May 7, 2015 7:25 pm

Wait, I'm out? What madness is this?

13 rbj   ~  May 7, 2015 7:33 pm

Crap!

14 rbj   ~  May 7, 2015 7:40 pm

Pick off!

15 Alex Belth   ~  May 7, 2015 8:05 pm

C'mon, Didi, do something.

16 Alex Belth   ~  May 7, 2015 8:09 pm

Didi is a real zero with the bat.

17 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 7, 2015 8:09 pm

Minimal Banter comments tonight. Dull game?
I missed 661, will have to watch the archived game later today.

18 rbj   ~  May 7, 2015 8:13 pm

[17] Beautiful night I assume. Hope there's a lot of outdoor cafe eating tonight.

19 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 7, 2015 8:22 pm

Who's having the party?

20 Alex Belth   ~  May 7, 2015 8:38 pm

Nice play, Chase.

21 Alex Belth   ~  May 7, 2015 8:38 pm

17) It was a nice shot, clean line drive. Guy left the ball right over the plate where Alex could reach out and just drop the bat on it.

Dellin dances again

23 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 7, 2015 8:49 pm

It's a great night to be alive night, conjurs up those Spring feelings, even at 58! Just got in to see that Dellin dealio! So good, so money. I thought it would just be us diehard fans who would care this season, but the Yankees surprise again. Can we give Joe his due ?

And a big whoop for Arod. Just help the team win please.

24 rbj   ~  May 7, 2015 8:52 pm

Miller time
BTW, MGD gives me heartburn.

25 rbj   ~  May 7, 2015 8:54 pm

Inauspicious start.

26 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 7, 2015 8:55 pm

[17] Excellent!

I hope Betances and Miller won't get burned out..we need an EDSP warning signal for JoeyJoeJoe..

27 rbj   ~  May 7, 2015 8:56 pm

At least Drew's glove doesn't have holes.

28 rbj   ~  May 7, 2015 8:57 pm

Two down, but one on.

29 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 7, 2015 9:00 pm

Another good win. Cheers, y'all.

30 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 7, 2015 9:00 pm

Miller looks like Dirk Digler with that mustache. But Miller saves, Betances invests.

31 rbj   ~  May 7, 2015 9:01 pm

There ya go! Night all.

32 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 7, 2015 9:04 pm

Just saw that Young catch of Arod's shot in the first. THe ball was over the fence, where was the fan's contribution there?

33 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 7, 2015 9:05 pm

They're rolling! Hope it keeps up.

34 Alex Belth   ~  May 7, 2015 9:17 pm

Nice job. I thought Miller was going to spit the bit there. But he worked around the lead off walk nicely. Good win. Then again, every win is a good one, right?

35 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 7, 2015 9:45 pm

Wow! Arod must be seeing a good therapist. He really is saying the right things with the correct emotion behind it.

( I hope he is not seeing a good acting coach instead)

36 Boatzilla   ~  May 7, 2015 11:22 pm

Dang, I missed it. Seemed like great all around game. I am starting to like this team, even without Tanaka.

[35] True dat. And he doesn't even sound scripted.

I am always going through little business dialogue and professional presentation scenarios in my head. No doubt, he had a lot of time to think about this.
