Jays look to sweep the Yanks.
Never mind the chatter:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!

So this is why I paid little attention this weekend. Luis looks like he's never been on a mound before.
I'm at work until 8.
Well that was exciting. Good on Luis and fuck the chickenshit blue jays. Craven assholes.
Apparently I missed some fireworks
Buzz him again.
I watched the Marlins pregame. The version of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame”—solo trumpet—was one of the most chilling and stirring I’ve ever heard. It was like a moment out of Ken Burns documentary. I welled up and started crying, I have to admit. That continued watching the rest of the pregame and then seeing Dee Gordon rounding the bases, crying, as he hit a solo home run to start the game. Jeez.
[6] Would have liked to have seen that. Another chilling version I'm always mesmerized by is Harpo Marx's version on the harp, which I suspect would have been equally fitting in this circumstance. Sigh, every generation has to carry something like this. Damn it to hell...
Dang, he was born in 1992, my second year of law school. Kids these days are getting younger and younger.
Hmm, a great play if made
Well, they have scored a run, so there's that
Go to refresh my drink and let the dogs out, tied up!
TEX!
HICKSY!!!
Gee, now I let them back in and untied
grilled? more like fried.
Keep piling on
nice!
grand slam lead.
Ah, the on field mile
Mic.
Yeesh, autocorrect
Oh, geez, Dellin
you have got to be kidding me.
FUCK! : /
dellin:
walk, error, wild pitch, walk.
blank check to chap...
nice hook, layne.
One down
By the way, Hillary leads Trump 234-0 in the bottoms of the 8th.
i thought layne was up before to start the 9th...
one down, no tag up
Shit
3 run lead.
Come on, blue
Modammit
i honestly don't mind that walk too much. EE can do a lot of damage. navarro can ground into a dp.
hey, blue - where the fuck was that, asshole???
alright, ump just made up for it : )
2-run led.
fucking crap.
not layne's fault. he's doing pretty well and i like him. prolly won't be on the team next season, but i'd be fine with it if he is.
[hey, tommy - don't make me eat my words!]
Two down!
Heluva play
nice play, tommy!
much better than clippard : )
hey, what innings were the bench clearing episodes - top and bottom of 2nd?
Gritner! Three down
Night all
wow. what a catch by gritner!
good job, layne.
I guess no new game thread
Mixed reaction to Big Poopi
#20!
Oh, I was expecting the Ruckus post to be the game thread.
Great start!
Looks like the comments are off for that one
Bogarts is no Jeter
Hey, what will Papi's reception be on Sunday, do you think? Has the booth been talking about it? (I've been watching but not listening.)
Oh good. A play. Good sacrifice, Brett, you are a fine human being.
Price you coward. PITCH!
Waste
Okay, the fifth is Austin to a good start. Now let's get it doubly Austintaceous...
Yes! A couple of Austins on base.
Oh. Brett is going to bunt, isn't he. Crud.
Another play
I better not fuck up here
Good
Well, it didn't suck. Hm, actually, the Win Expectancy is almost exactly the same before and after the sacrifice. So, okay, I accept that bunt.
And I definitely accept that rbi single!
tuned in for the proposal.
need more runs.
yeah, rbj!
let's go, gary!!!
Oh my god. Jeez, that foul ball got into the seats fast. Wow.
[49] i hope Fat Liar is booed something fierce. he deserves it. Big fucking Babi.
bollocks.
Oh, damn. He does hit it hard -- too hard that time.
Rats
not ideal. we're gonna pay for that, aren't we?
Saw that error coming. Just eat the ball there
yup, there it is.
wait, was that a-rod reporting on the 'stros game?
Crap
this was so obvious. wheels falling off very fast...
Hm, our lead is not long for this world. Ortiz, Betts, Ramirez with the tying runs ISP...
Siddown, Papi!
Sit down!
sit the FUCK down, Florida Evans.
asshole.
I have to give Joe credit. He didn't IBB Papi, and he's not bringing the infield in for Betts. Both correct, for sure, and both difficult for managers who like to make Moves.
I accept that groundout.
still winning. two down...
It's an out
[76] and also for leaving luis in.
[80] Oh yeah, and that.
Dang, Luis just got three damn good batters out after getting himself into that ugly situation.
good job, kid.
well, except, for that throw. though, tex would've saved the day and kept the shutout in tact...
Phew, could have been much worse
Didn't think we'd see Castro again this season
didi!
got one back : )
What an A-Rod home run that was. A selfish solo homer.
Boooo, Didi.
Had to let a dog out, another Yankee run
Didi looks especially bad compared with Brett's two sacrifices. Now that's unselfish baseball.
20 for didi. 21 for castro.
amazingly, 20 for gary!!!
[86] was alex reporting for espn before? i believe they said "alex" and then it sounded a bit like him. it was in the studio and they were showing game footage...
wait, there he is again. no, that's not alex's voice. maybe it's alex cora...
fuck. shit. piss. hell.
shoulda kept cessa in. only 86 pitches.
brock holt. what a terrible name. not as bad as markus...
wait, aaron hill. great, another hit.
pretend you're pitching in canada, tommy.
Sit down, kid
Got him! Good pitching. Okay, one to go, thanks to Farrell's inability to resist Moves.
Oh, yeah, I dunno who was talking -- I've had the sound off for just about the entire game. Very peaceful.
fuck you, midget fucker.
Freaking pony. Figures.
Shot
what an ugly little fucker.
ugh. this guy. i can't stand his windup/delivery.
first pitch goes for a hit. of course, fat fuck is up now. here goes the game...
how is there not a lefty warmed up in case of this situation???
whew.
Big Poopi doesn't get the job done
great at-bat for lettuce.
what horrific announcing by the 4-letter network.
austin powers!
oppo. 2-run lead!!
Ok I'm going to have to get more dogs who need to be let out.
poor announcers. yankees hit a homerun and are now winning. they're quite sad...
nice 0-2 hit by gritner. lotsa hits tonight!
I spend the dollars for Extree Innings, to avoid the four letter network
[112] i have mlb network and can roku the game or watch it online. but it'll be lagging behind the live feed, so i'm just sticking with that for tonight...
feh.
I think we need more runs
still leading by two. i'd love some geico runs. this is not dellin proof.
lazy bogaerts!
go, didi!
didi has more homers than walks! 20-19. not easy to do...
[118] is that a record?
If you had told me Tyler Clippard would be the closer in a game vs. the Red Sox at the end of the season, I'd ask to have some of what you're smoking.
[119] if it happened in one game, i imagine RI would say yes. otherwise, probably not. but i don't think it's very common!
1 down.
One down.
And does this kid shave?
Grrr, MLP
[120] and if we were told that tanaka would essentially be leading the league in ERA, CC would be doing pretty well (ERA ~4), our middle infield each had 20(+) homers, and gary came up and had 20, i figured we'd be a 90-win playoff bound club.
[122] way more than i had to throughout all my 20s!
sutcliffe: chili davis is the greatest hitting coach ever, because:
- he's on the shit sox
- he tells his hitters to not go to the plate thinking home run.
Set up the double play
ugh. winning run at the plate.
Two down
two down.
fat liar. i'm hitting mute. he's gonna hit it to the warning track (at least)...
strike one.
Throw a fastball off the plate, then nothing but junk
strike two.
i thought the low pitch could've been called a strike...
1-2, mound conference.
3-2. never easy...
Strikeout!
t-clip!!!
0-5. sit the FUCK down, you FAT FUCKING FUCK!!!
Ha, night all
Big Babi actually whined about Sanchez talking with the pitchers too much during his at-bats. Said it "tricked" him. What a fucking fat bitch!
