One last game for the Yanks in suburban L.A. Let’s hope they avoid getting swept but I’m not so sure about ol’ Nathan Eovaldi being good two starts in a row yet, you know? Either way, it’s a late afternoon game in Southern California in the beginning of July–I’m sure the light will be beautiful, so there’s always that to look forward to.
Also, Carlos is achin’ and they’ve brought a new kid up and his name is Taylor Dugas. C’mon, is that right? Taylor Dugas? What a name. It’s gonna fun to see what he’s about.

Nerts.
We got our run
Don't mind walking Pujols
Drew was robbed!
Take that, shift!
The sun rises, the earth spins and the Yankees' shifts suck.
[0] TAY-lor DU-Gas! I can hear the roll call.
Hank is at the game? Keep a look out for any Yankee jerseys, I got the radio on here.
Phew
Yay!
Mr. Jones!
Now that's a strikeout!
Ruh roh
Double Phew!!
Nice hit, Drew!
That was big, and hindsight says walking Trout and Pujols a good idea.
EO pitched well. Shreve did well, and Tex saves the day.
Grit re is our best hitter right now, so of course he should bunt.
Hate Gardner bunting there. Now the run must score. How about a fly ball?
What's that conehead in the fan dugout behind the plate?
That worked out. NOT! I like Gardner bunting, but not for sacrifices.
Chasen "Shreves" the Angels
Green, Shreve? Nah. He's our delight!
Meanwhile, I was just about to point out that Didi is hitting respectably.
And there he gets a nice solid little hit.
He could really mature over the long haul.
Damn. Nicely wrapped but right at somebody.
(Er--rapped.)
More insurance
BS, Blue. Rickey says you'd never call that against Rickey.
ThAt SO pitch to Brett was high, and so was the ump who thought is was a strike.
Trout will do that to ya.
Logging off, got work in the morning.
Wow, that was a nice pitch!
Strike two...
Strike three!
Nice little win.
That was a nail biter! Gnight.
