Go Yankees!

2 rbj   ~  Sep 12, 2015 12:11 pm

Hey, I am getting the Yankee game!

3 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 12, 2015 12:21 pm

Hell yeah!

4 rbj   ~  Sep 12, 2015 12:21 pm

Gritner!

5 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 12:25 pm

Go go Gritner!

6 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 12:26 pm

[2] i'm not getting it anywhere. mlb/roku is blacked out. mlb.tv on my laptop is giving me a radio feed. fox has cards vs. reds.

7 RIYank   ~  Sep 12, 2015 12:29 pm

Geez, Colabello is kind of a stud. I didn't realize.

Next time the Twins don't like a power hitter they have, Cashman should jump.

8 RIYank   ~  Sep 12, 2015 12:30 pm

Wooohooo, Big Mike in the House!

9 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 12:31 pm

nice inning!

suzyn's accent is sooo bad. bawtom of the inning...

10 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 12, 2015 12:31 pm

Stay solid, Big Mike!

11 RIYank   ~  Sep 12, 2015 12:35 pm

[9] There are no bad accents.

12 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 12:36 pm

Chased!!!

13 RIYank   ~  Sep 12, 2015 12:36 pm

Holy smokes!
Chase!

14 rbj   ~  Sep 12, 2015 12:36 pm

Headley, double the pleasure

15 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 12, 2015 12:37 pm

Atta boy, Chase!

16 RIYank   ~  Sep 12, 2015 12:37 pm

Okay, we need the next two homers with men on base.

17 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 12:37 pm

[11] well, if my students play accents instead of ghost or tap strokes next week on their finals, i'm taking points off!

18 RIYank   ~  Sep 12, 2015 12:40 pm

Oh, man. Uh oh.

19 rbj   ~  Sep 12, 2015 12:44 pm

Crap, now I'm switched over to the Reds game. See you for part II.

20 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 12:49 pm

suzyn just pulled an RI!!!

Jesse Barfield was clearly the answer to which player hit 50 homers for both the yanks and blow jays. this, apparently, confused sterling so she had to clarify that this did not happen in one season. i imagine that would be some kind of record.

21 RIYank   ~  Sep 12, 2015 12:51 pm

Good to have Brettski back.

22 RIYank   ~  Sep 12, 2015 12:52 pm

[20] You should hear my accent.

23 MSM35   ~  Sep 12, 2015 12:54 pm

I figured it out, Drew has pictures.

24 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 12:55 pm

[22] are any of your lectures online?

if not, gimme a call later and we'll have a drink over the line!

i used to have a very thick NY accent. after a few years in PA, i started to purposefully (purposely?) change it. now, there are certain words i can't say without a strong NY accent and it comes back quick!

25 MSM35   ~  Sep 12, 2015 1:01 pm

When coaching I always ask the players on the bench how many points we need to win by one. I'll say five runs in this one.

26 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 1:02 pm

fucking joey bats.

27 RIYank   ~  Sep 12, 2015 1:03 pm

Yeah, Joey Bats it. Kind of expected. Well, just a solo.

28 RIYank   ~  Sep 12, 2015 1:05 pm

I don't really have a New England accent. Or a New York accent. I guess Suzyn has both! In a way I do too, but really in my case they sort of averaged out and disappeared into a fairly generic American. (My mom's family is from New England, though my mom was born and grew up in Manhattan.)

29 RIYank   ~  Sep 12, 2015 1:08 pm

We seem to lose a lot more with our shifts than we gain. Is that (i) just an illusion, (ii) bad luck, or (iii) bad strategy?

30 RIYank   ~  Sep 12, 2015 1:13 pm

Yikes.
Not a good inning for Pineda. And he knows it!

Go get 'em, Mike. Kill.

31 RIYank   ~  Sep 12, 2015 1:14 pm

Whew!

32 RIYank   ~  Sep 12, 2015 1:19 pm

Now we're talking!
Double your pleasure, double your runs!

33 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 1:23 pm

[28] yup, that's what i say - i have a pretty straightforward american accent. sometimes i get pretty new york - esp. when i'm drunk, super tired, or angry : )

certain words always come out with a thick NY accent - chocolate, water, coffee, daughter...

34 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 1:24 pm

hey-rod!

i missed the homer. we have our neighbors here...

35 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 1:28 pm

fuckin' fuck fuck.

36 RIYank   ~  Sep 12, 2015 1:35 pm

Oh, man.
Freaking EE.

37 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 1:35 pm

motherfucking bullshit.

38 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 12, 2015 1:41 pm

Motherfucking blue hays and that asshole trot. Fuck!

39 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 1:44 pm

lotsa bandwagon blow jay fans in the house, huh? that pisses me off something fierce.

40 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 1:46 pm

ellsbury has been struggling...

41 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 1:54 pm

bullpen.

42 RIYank   ~  Sep 12, 2015 1:57 pm

Well that was terrible.

43 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 1:57 pm

bollocks.

44 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 1:58 pm

oh, good!

45 RIYank   ~  Sep 12, 2015 2:00 pm

All worked out though.

Now time for runs.

46 MSM35   ~  Sep 12, 2015 2:17 pm

OK coaches, are we going for this with Dellin against Their 2,3,4 or sticking with Wilson until we get a lead?

47 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 2:21 pm

[46] dellin.

48 MSM35   ~  Sep 12, 2015 2:25 pm

Now we need that fifth run.

49 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 2:34 pm

weak.

50 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 2:38 pm

FUCK YOU, BAUTISTA!!!

FUCK YOU.

51 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 12, 2015 2:40 pm

Seething.

52 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 2:50 pm

i wish ellsbury would steal bases again...

53 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 2:52 pm

back-to-back walks to the top of the order. speed on the basepaths. bullpen move.

if we don't fucking score here, we don't deserve to make the playoffs.

score, take the lead, miller shuts 'em down. do it. make it happen.

LET'S GO YAN-KEES!! !!!

54 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 2:54 pm

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

gotta double steal here.

55 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 2:55 pm

64 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 3:05 pm

Bird was robbed.

70 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 3:08 pm

FUCK!!!

71 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 12, 2015 3:08 pm

Fail.

72 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 3:23 pm

pathetic.

extras in game 1. of course...

73 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Sep 12, 2015 3:25 pm

Looks like free baseball. Since we suck at extras let's get it over without using every arm in the pen. Watch out for Bautista. .

74 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 3:32 pm

miller kicked ass!

4 k's in 2 innings, including donaldson and bow-teeeeeest-uh in the 10th.

75 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 3:34 pm

76 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 3:34 pm

hey, it's NOT a pinch stand there!

79 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 12, 2015 3:49 pm

Heartbreak ahead.

80 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 3:52 pm

81 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 3:56 pm

82 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 12, 2015 4:01 pm

Eat fucking shit, blue. Are you fuckimg kidding!

83 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 12, 2015 4:01 pm

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!

91 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 4:10 pm

unfuckingbelievable.

92 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 12, 2015 4:13 pm

Good to know Jay s could have gone to plate blindfolded with ping pong paddles this inning and still taken the lead. What a fucking joke!

93 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 4:17 pm

what are the chances donaldson goes 0-6?

94 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 12, 2015 4:17 pm

Eat a big bag of fucking shit.

95 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 4:20 pm

wow. walks in a run.

FUCK YOU!!!!!!

96 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 12, 2015 4:20 pm

Sprinkles, like strikes, are for winners.

101 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 4:25 pm

imagine if a-rod didn't get pulled and was able to hit before...

102 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 4:26 pm

i'm shit the blow jays will reach double digits...

103 edoubletrouble   ~  Sep 12, 2015 4:26 pm

You asked for Double Trouble A.B. and you got it - four runs on one hit so far. Eleventh inning. It's on FOX so I can watch. Glad to see the banter up and at 'em. Hi everyone. Do we have a chance at the Serious?

104 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 4:29 pm

[104] i'm not sure we'll have a shot at the 2nd wild card when it's all said and done...

105 edoubletrouble   ~  Sep 12, 2015 4:30 pm

What happened?

106 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 12, 2015 4:31 pm

Imagine if Pineda didn't hang one to that miserable fuck, EE.

107 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 12, 2015 4:33 pm

Keep the line moving.

108 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 4:33 pm

we gave up too many to make this threat real...

109 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 4:34 pm

[105] you really don't wanna know...

[106] or, if pennington didn't make that play...

110 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 4:38 pm

motherfucker.

111 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 12, 2015 4:39 pm

[109] brief explanation if you don't mind. I've been watching game day. Do I really want to know....

112 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 4:39 pm

woulda be somethin' if didi walked and drew tied it up with a granny...

113 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 4:40 pm

[111] i've been listening to john/suzyn.

mitchell walked two and hit a batter. chasen walked in eleventy billion runs and gave up a hit. we totally beat ourselves by being wild as fuck. 4 runs on 1 frickin' hit. i think it was 5 walks and an HBP...

UGLY!

114 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 4:41 pm

worst game of the season by far.

115 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 12, 2015 4:43 pm

Fuck a fucking duck. Eat shit blue jays you sons of bitches.

116 Alex Belth   ~  Sep 12, 2015 5:26 pm

Holy Hell, that was brutal. Almost comically brutal. Can't say the Yanks don't have it coming to them after owning the Jays for so long but that doesn't mean we have to like it.

117 rbj   ~  Sep 12, 2015 5:29 pm

Glad I missed the first game.

118 rbj   ~  Sep 12, 2015 5:45 pm

This is embarrassing.

120 rbj   ~  Sep 12, 2015 5:49 pm

God damned Blue Jays

121 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 5:50 pm

Losing already. Shocking...

122 rbj   ~  Sep 12, 2015 5:54 pm

Oh this is getting worse all the time

123 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Sep 12, 2015 5:56 pm

Jesus.

124 rbj   ~  Sep 12, 2015 5:56 pm

Of corse another run scores

125 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Sep 12, 2015 5:56 pm

This is fugly.

126 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Sep 12, 2015 5:57 pm

Let the rains come.

127 mhoward120   ~  Sep 12, 2015 5:57 pm

What. Shiite way to end 5774!!!

128 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Sep 12, 2015 5:59 pm

Fucking hell.

129 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Sep 12, 2015 6:00 pm

What is up with all these Blue Jays fans?

130 rbj   ~  Sep 12, 2015 6:01 pm

Beyond embarrassing

131 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 6:10 pm

Makes me nauseous...

132 thelarmis   ~  Sep 12, 2015 6:11 pm

6-0 already. Wow.

What a bunch of fucking bollocks.

133 rbj   ~  Sep 12, 2015 6:54 pm

Yay, a hit

134 mhoward120   ~  Sep 12, 2015 6:59 pm

Good for Papi.
Amazing competitor. Well liked by his peers.
"This is our fucking city".

135 rbj   ~  Sep 12, 2015 7:01 pm

Yes! Thank you Brett

136 rbj   ~  Sep 12, 2015 7:22 pm

And now a rain delay

137 rbj   ~  Sep 12, 2015 7:52 pm

And we're back

138 rbj   ~  Sep 12, 2015 8:03 pm

Didi with an rbi

139 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 12, 2015 8:16 pm

Last I saw it was 6-0. This is an improvement I suppose. This has got to be the least attended game in new stadium history. Oi!

140 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Sep 12, 2015 8:19 pm

OH, JESUS CHRIST!!!

141 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 12, 2015 8:20 pm

I should have just not tuned in. Clown. Show.

142 rbj   ~  Sep 12, 2015 8:23 pm

Ugh. Game over. Night all.

143 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Sep 12, 2015 8:24 pm

We're going to be swept, aren't we?

No question.

144 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 12, 2015 9:00 pm

Yay, Brett.

145 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 12, 2015 9:24 pm

Fuck today straight to Hell.

146 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 13, 2015 12:41 am

I can't see this team making the playoffs now. Or if they there, it will be over fast.

[Sigh]

147 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2015 2:52 am

[147] yup.

total fucking horseshit. at this point, i wouldn't be surprised if we're surpassed by texass and/or the twinkies. maybe even the fucking hatelos.

it doesn't matter. if we sneak our way in, we're not making it past the first wild card game. and, if we somehow do, there's no way we're winning the first series. we fucking suck and this whole entire baseball thing is a bunch of fucking bollocks.

the yankees are wasting my precious time. fuck this bullshit...
