Crap

Brian gets the job done

Nice ab there by McCAnn.

Man! Nice long fly ball! The perfect spot.

Wow, Carlos heating up

Out by a million miles.

You aren't that young anymore Carlos

Nice catch, Brett.

Wait, what?

Francoeur had to pitch for two innings because the bullpen phone was broken?

What?

That makes absolutely no sense. They couldn't send a carrier pigeon to the bullpen to have someone get someone up?

Watching Pineda struggle makes me sad.

God, I swear to God I thought he was going to throw that ball.

I panicked and screamed, "NO!!!"

Pfew.

[10] Yes.

I guess it could have been worse.

Atta boy, Brett!

Two off pitching performances in a row. A trend?

Man. Bases loaded no outs again.

Oh, fuck.

This is fugly.

Blech

O'Neill: "Sometimes baseball just doesn't make sense" by way of saying, of course, YJCPB.

[19] Hi weeping, you will appreciate this as I believe you have some young 'uns. My boy has embraced baseball (finally!) and is absolutely in love with John Sterling. He'll mimic 'Stephen Drew! How do you do!' then laugh hysterically.

Brett carrying this team on his back. Or doing his best to.

Damn!

[20] Hahahahahah! That's adorable. Whatever it takes, right?

Congrats on the success, Papa, well done!

Creeping back. One run here, two more there . . .

[22] It's been so much fun, but weird to finally do this with him and there's no Mo or Derek.. :(

He does love A-Rod, Pineda and McCann though, and learned quickly we must never ever root for the BoSox. Will take him to his first game here in two weeks.

Good for Carlos.

Now let's cash these puppies in!

[24] good on the BoSox thing.

Carlos!

[24] Yes, that is both weird and sad. I mean, I don't know who this team is.

The first players I was aware of were Bucky Dent and Reggie Jackson (I was born in '73). The first baseball I can remember was the 1981 Series. I also remember Fernando Valenzuela.

I wonder what sort of impression these Yankees make on a new fan. Who stands out?

[24] Ok, just saw the second half, which answers my question!

Dammit!

[26] And you, enough the loafing, already. Isn't it time for you to be getting your ass off the DL?

[26] Rule #1!

[28] Pretty much the same for me (born in '74). My dad took me to see Reggie in 1979 for my first game, I remember Fernando-mania, astro-turf parks, mustaches and a foul-smelling Yankee Stadium very fondly.

Sigh

All right, that's it.

[30] I have a delicate nature.

Aw fuck!

[33] Your team needs you!

[34] I also need to get back into the dojo. Maybe Wednesday.

Damn. That was a good pitch to hit.

[35] Get on it.

One back

Tapping out, night all.

Will Chasen Chase Chase?

YES! Thank heaven for small favors.

The fuck happened with Big Mike? Man, what a horseshit pitching performance by the Yanks.

[42] He had nuthin'

I like the fight in these guys.

Garrett baby!

I know we all know this but holy cow is Didi a horrible hitter. Can you recall a worse situational hitter? Goddamn, son.

haha, fuck you, Papelbitch!

That is one crappy loss, Big Mike. The hitters did a great job. The rest of youse no so much.

ack. my feed is slow...
