Every loss hurts now, some more than others. Yesterday’s loss was painful because the breaks didn’t go the Yankees’ way. They put men on base, they hit the ball hard, they hit into outs. 3-2 was the final.
The Jays won, their lead back to a game-and-a-half.
Nova’s gonna have to bring his A-game today cause the Rays have the formidable Chris Archer on the bump.

Never mind the end of summer:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Let's see before the grandkids arrive and I get distracted. Yanks are 21 and 22 in one run games. They seldom lose a lead but rarely come back late. Some years are like that. Unlike 2009 very few walkoffs. Hope the Birds can do work because Chris Archer is tough. Alex has never had a hit off him.
Didi is The Man.. What a play!
Hung that one. Shite!
Going to be a tough day. Jays are already up 3.
Grumble.
Not good. Not good at all.
Maybe I should go clean the kitchen
[4] jesus. how do they do it? : /
it's likely the ballgame already. though a blast now ties it.
the weather is glorious here; not sure i'll be watching the whole game.
early this season, i read a handful of articles on archer and his childhood / background. pretty much, he's as cool as he is good at pitching. that said, i'd really love to hand him a loss here today!
dammit. that was probably our best shot - gritner has very good #s against archer.
When Didi has time, his throws to first are chest high at least 99% of the time.
great frame for nova. 3 outs on 5 pitches.
The Beltran special.
oh, god. c'mon, stephen. you have to make that play. have to.
damn. mac's throw just a bit high. all these extra pitches and stress 'coz of the stoopid error. : /
Remember scoring double digits? Good times, good times.
McCann could!
MAC ATTACK!!!
tied up : )
Belly to belly!
A-ROD!!!
hell yeah : )
first pitch!
Alex first hit off Archer ever.
Say what you will about Ma and Pa Radio, but listening to Sterling call McCann's homer just now ("McCann can! McCann can!") followed by an A-Bomb! from A-Rod! was pretty awesome.
very nice double by bird!
How many commercial announcements between the homers?
Nice inning boys.
wilson on in the 7th. twin towers after that.
must. win. game.
damn. almost a quick and clean inning for wilson. instead, dellin coming in to get 4 outs.
Not his fault but Mac couldn't handle the foul tip before the homer earlier.
damn. dellin lost longo.
Phew
He pitched around him.
alright. 9 pitches so far for dellin. needs to get through the 8th.
i'll gladly accept more runs.
Insurance! Thanks, Tampa.
oreo's have cut their deficit in half. they're down 6-3
Logan Forsythe isn't that a terrible name for a baseball player.
[36] An author, perhaps?
Needed insurance.
a-rod just tied rod carew with 3,053 hits!
Looks like the Birds have packed it in. Sox are playing young guys and having fun. Hope the do work against the Jays this week.
Rats.
not good, headley.
Didi!
Sir Didi!
that's one back. gotta get a-rod home now.
Charles Joseph Riefenhauser, all-name team.
c'mon drew - gimme double digits, dude!
fuck you, drew.
Should have been many more.
what are you swinging at, jake???
really shoulda had more than 1 run there...
One down
Two down
oof. longo up as the tying run...
Hmmm, not liking this.
this is getting ugly. base hit ties the game...
oh, wait. longo didn't advance. good.
Three down!
Phew!

Great win!
