Big Mike and the Yanks look to play well against the reeling Baltimore Orioles.
No time for regression now, fellas.

Never mind the end of summer:

And away we go. Pretty hot here
Wow, the Orioles suck.
Why does Didi bat 8th? That makes no sense to me.
Uh oh, this isn't good. Corners with nobody out.
A big K would look good right now, Mike.
Whereas that didn't look good at all.
Crap. I woke up to that?
What the hell?
Got a bad feeling about this game.
[8] ya think?
The Orioles actually gave us both outs of this inning. Maybe they'll give us another.
Big Pine shit the bed that inning. Oi!
Nice, Chris Young!
Now, we need a homer.
That was a sneaky run, the Yanks are back in the game, but Bird looks a little helpless hitting against the lefty Chen.
If the Club can hold them at four, a win is very possible.
We get a run back, then Mike issues a leadoff walk. Ugh.
Sox doing work. Buehrle in Fenway is not a good match. Hope Porcello can keep them down.
[15] for you

Word. Keep it going, fellas!
What a useless fucking ab.
Game of inches. A little luck, Yanks tie.
Let's go Red Sox!
Balls.
Yay-Rod!
Creeping back in
A-ROD!!
[17] haha, awesome!
[21] i know, right? : ~
I like it.
the kid needs acting lessons.
Walked him anyhows
please walk murphy please walk murphy please walk murphy
Murphy's law: see pitch, hit home run!
WOW!!!!
He didn't walk Murphy!
we're winning!!!
What is the Sterling home run call for Murphy? Anybody know?
Yay!!!!! JRM! Must win today, with Boston getting BJs
shit sox just gave up another run...
Sláinte!
Yeah, don't count your Blue Jays before they're hatched.
The Sox squandered an opportunity to put the game away (bases loaded one out), now Justin Smoaks a homer.
I'm sure Boston is still the favorite, mathematically speaking... but it's hard to feel that way.
[33] John Ryan sent one flyin'
Come on, Mike, one more out.
[38] Oof, appropriately cheesy.
Went out for a few minutes. Missed 2 homers. OK with that.
Nice finish, Mike!
Nice recovery, Pineda.
Big Pine never really had it today, but he muscled through, and might even get a win
Don't know if the Jays can come back. They have rarely been behind.
Oh my god.
Stephen Drew is pinch hitting.
Isn't there someone we could call up, or a wire pick-up, or something?
schoop? nope!
[46] i'm available.
[45] well, they're threatening. of course.
Ells has to steal here, no?
Whew, the Jays had two on with one out, but Tulo just hit a screamer right to the 2nd baseman for an unassisted DP.
Tulo just hit into a dp with men on. He really hasn't done that much for them.
[51] phew
[50] yes, methinks.
[51] whew.
chase with another chance. make 'em pay.
I always enjoy the whew/phew echo. I don't know why. It's usually a kind of duet between me and rbj.
crap. that's a lot of running for rbj.
Sox add on.
JB jr just homered for two, 7-2 Sox!
[55] yup. i always anticipate it.
[58] i feel dirty. at least it wasn't Markus.
[55] from Quera on line:
All phews are whews but not all whews are phews
phew /fyoÍžo/ Exclamation:Expressing a strong reaction of relief.
whew /hyoÍžo/ Exclamation:Used to express surprise, relief, or a feeling of being very hot or tired.
Hm, that's interesting. I don't think I've ever said or heard 'whew' to express surprise. A feeling of being hot or tired, yes.
This Chase on the corner is consumer friendly.
Dammit!
Oh, fug, really?
Damn.
I hate hate hate Machado.
I mean, that was a looooong home run.
Wilson better settle down.
Xander drives in Markus to extend the Boston lead.
Yeah, why was Warren recused, anyway? Is he in the dock, or what?
Okay, well.
Now we'll need runs.
FUCK!
Good start, here we go!
I don't think Greg Bird can bunt. I'm just guessing.
Bird bunt?
Maybe send up Ryan and have him play first.
No wonder Nadal was out early in the U.S. Open. He made that ridiculous underwear commercial.
No bunting for the Birdman!!!!!!!
Word to Big Bird!
Hell yes.
I just love it when Joe decides not to put on a play and he gets rewarded. This will reinforce his confidence in the future.
Bird!

FYI...I found a bunch of Yankee gifs on line.
Geez, I should go let the dogs out more often.
[81] Yes you did.
ooh, what happened?
i missed the tying homer and our 3 runs...
oh, i'm seeing it now.
so, first and second and bird tried to bunt them over? did he foul off the first two or something?
i'll take the blast...and the lead!
[84] Machado machoed one about 440 feet to center.
Bird came up with runners on first and second and nobody out, and he definitely did not bunt. Crushed an 0-2 pitch into the bleachers.
[84] wasn't [72] about the tying home HR?
[83] you want it to stop?
No, he didn't try to bunt.
He doesn't do the bunt thing. Fortunately.
[87] Hey, good point. Thelarmis, what was that 'FUCK' if you missed the Machado homer?
No, keep 'em coming, kb!
I know, he probably hit himself in the eye with a drumstick.
JB jr knocks in another run, 9-2.
Every day Dellin? It's getting worrisome. With a three run lead could they use a committee with short leases?
speaking of the yankees logo...
http://toddradom.com/the-yankees-top-hat-emblem-and-the-three-logos-of-1946/
Uh oh.
Unfuckingbelievable.
right, right...
i came back and saw the game was tied, hence the FUCK!
i came back again and saw the extra runs and comments about bunting. thought maybe GI Joe had Bird square away.
throw STRIKES, tall guy!
jesus fuck. you gotta be kidding me.
please don't deliver an earl weaver special.
schoop hurts us...
Jackie Bradley Jr is beginning to worry me. His first season and the beginning of this one he looked like a great fielder who couldn't hit at all. But in the past month his OPS is something like 1.300. If he's figured it out, they'll have an extremely good outfield for a long time.
alright, 0-2 again.
don't lose him!
hey, a strike-em-out!
howzabout a quick dp now?
Larry Rothschild is obviously a genius.
WTF did he say???
another strike-em-out!!
8 balls in a row, 6 strikes in a row.
Larry, get back out there.
[102] And then four more balls in a row.
Very weird.
This is some schizophrenic bullshit.
ugh. now he's back to a bunch of balls in a row.
paging larry...
Oh, man. If he got that third strike there, that would have been one of the most amazing innings I've seen.
ah, he ruined it!
woulda been awesome to strike him out on 3 pitches right there.
Phew!
Wow, that was amazing. That was really amazing.
Whew!
Nice temper tantrum, dude. Lol... phew.
full count.
of course!
Three walks! Three strikeouts! No damage...
he struck him out!!!
phew/whew : )
[114] well, lotsa pitches...
toronto got a couple back...
Man, I can't get over that inning.
you see something new every game. Although not as new as that most games.
Can't predict baseball.
Bird beats Orioles? Is that some type of species cleansing?
Big Tubi walks and Travis Shaw homers, double-digits for the Sox. 11-4. Even their bullpen should be able to hold that lead.
there's one!
[118] Nature red in tooth and claw.
there's two!!
Although I guess birds don't have teeth. So, just claw.
Nature red in beak and claw.
Grrrrrrrrrrr.. 1 more out!
Not liking this.
Sigh.
Andrew has been great, but he doesn't make things easy.
Last one:

Ballgame over, Yankees WIN!
Phew!!!
Sweet. Fun win. Cheers, all.
it's never easy, huh.
this game is...laborious.
[really surprised RI hasn't said that yet.]
hey, wait.
my roku is slow. not fair!
0-1 to paredes.
0-2
he struck him out!
hey, we won!!! : )
Considering how the games in NY and Bos started, the outcomes are fab. Good Yankee win.
Oh, sorry thelarmis.
Your Roku is a goodly amount of time behind.
Yay, it's over, Jays lose.
It wasn't easy but damn that's a satisfying win. What a weird, weird inning for Betances. Way to go Greg Bird!
