You know, I watched about 95% of the games in 1998 but one that I missed was the comeback where Straw hit the grand slam. I might have even started watching it but I missed the comeback, one of their best of the season. I just remember waking up like it had been a happy dream, which is what that whole season was anyway.
Point is, it’s hard to stay up for games in Oakland. Least it’s always been for me. At least on a school night.
That said, I like that I have a choice and sometimes I’ll just hang on and watch a game until it’s over just because.
Never mind the peppermint tea:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
1998 didn't start off like a dream if I recall; it wasn't until George started threatening Torre's job that the Bombing began. I've always felt that was the team's "And Fuck You Too, Mr. Steinbrenner" season.
Hey, what's wrong with peppermint tea? >;)
I love the Oakland/LAA/Sea games. Means I have baseball to listen to until about 2 in the afternoon while here at AMCE, Inc.
1998...I was in Japanese school, checking my email once a week at a library and watching the MLB highlights on a nightly show, trying to understand the J announcers..wasn't until after the ASB I realized who good the team was.
Your 2016 Yankees. How the fuck does Beltrsn not know there were 3 outs? Fucking bollocks!
Headley picked off first. Didi pegged at by 5 feet. Oi...
great inning, ivan!
i love west coast games! i'm just getting home from work and can watch a little bit of the game as i settle in and have dinner : )
Nova coming up solid. 1,2,3 in the 6th.
nova better go out for the 7th.
fuck you, GI Joe.
why the FUCK is dellin in the game. he threw over 30 pitches yesterday. nova's at 61 pitches. SIXTY-ONE!!!
this is beyond ridiculous.
and look at that. leadoff hit, solid contact.
this is bullshit. we're gonna lose. nova should be pitching.
total fucking BOLLOCKS!!!
[8] I second that emotion.
now a stolen base...
he got out of it, but it was stoopid he was in there to begin with.
let ivan pitch!!! : /
[12] Agreed..even if he's still stretching out his arm, 80 pitches is not too much?
novamiller for the 8th.[please no homerun this time.]
[13] i know, right? SIXTY-ONE fucking pitches!!!!
61*
beautiful, beli!!!
yanks win!
Had already shut down the iPad before the game, only caught a couple of innings. Now, everyone makes mistakes. But Carlos, the team is underperforming, the offense is struggling. Now is not the time to not mentally be in the game.
[15] Joe was just trying to honor roger maris. It had to happen.
Alex - I love seeing Chapman pitch the 9th, you should fall asleep on the couch, and wake up when he comes in to pitch. I'm 2-2 with the win in Arizona and last night's win.
Singleton has a way of putting me to sleep, and he gets excited at the right times to wake me up. Beltran's 9th inning got Singleton to change his pitch at the right time.
If Singleton remains monotone, then the Yankees are losing and there's no reason to wake-up.
Ha. Good stuff on Kenny. He reminds me, especially when he laughs, like Dr. Hibbert from the Simpsons.
