David “Cookie Monster” Ortiz has been kicking Yankee ass almost as long as this blog has been alive. He’s an all-time great Yankee-killer and I will not miss him at all.
C.C.’s on the hill looking for some love from his offense.
Never mind the calendar:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
cc strikes out the side in the first!
what the fuck is xander bitching about - strike 3 was right down broadway. cc was like, "you're complaining about *that* pitch? fucking shit sox..." these guys are exasperating. and the nesn feed is annoying. one of those guys has a really terrible new england accent. i can't listen...
Decent ovation for him.
Good start for CC
Jesus Montero with a 50 game suspension for a stimulant. Pineda has at least gotten wins for the Yankees
[2] that sucks. shoulda been showered with boooooooos.
[3] yeah, i posted that on the last post. i had forgotten he also got smacked w/ 50 games for the biogenesis scandal. he's a triple-a 1st basemen for the blow jays now...
nice steal, rbj
Yay, I stole
And scored,
1 nuthin'!
In honor of Ortiz's last game against the Yanks, he should be hit by a pitch every at-bat. He's certainly earned it.
Looks like I picked the wrong time to check my blood pressure.
Have a parting K,
Have 4 parting Ks Papi.
Good riddence, he tortured, and when the Sox had Papi and Manny batting in order, in big games, the Yankees pitchers hadn't a clue.
Damn, foul
damn. just foul. gary gave it a ride.
ugh. tie ballgame. : /
I'm gonna start hating Boogers
Smart, walk him so he does no more damage
see ya, fat fuck. i certainly won't miss you. i'll never like you. and i'll always hate seeing or reading any footage of your playing days. i hope you disappear from the game and never get elected to the hall of fame. you are a Fat Liar and Big Babi. good riddance!!!
[16] i will join you!
Nice steal, Headley
[18] don't hold back, tell us how you really feel.
Watched the Teix grand salami this morning, what a way for him to wrap things up.
Huge middle finger to Ortiz and the Sox, Eff 'em. And to the Yankees org, they drop A-Rod like a hot potato then give this windbag a ceremony?
Scooter is mad at that "bunt"
Got the lead back, and no more Big Poopi!
New pitcher for Gary, respect, or fear.
Blow this puppy up
Disclaimer: do not actually harm a dog
[26] Trying to convince Mrs. Jazz to let us get a dog..it's a long battle and I'm not winning so far.
A hit would likely have scored two, so a walk is not as good
Thelarmis, you secretly like Big Papi, right?
Fess up.
[27] Resuce shelter older dog. It most likely would be housebroken, no puppy chewing everything, and it teaches young ones about responsibility to those less fortunate than yourself.
Plus they tend to be less expensive than purebred pups. I'm on #3 & 4. And #3 is less active these days. May have to dig her resting place before winter sets in.
[1] The NESN guy with the thick accent is Jerry Remy, by the way.
Wow, CC for the 7th, at 95 pitches,
[30] That's a good idea, but then..well you face the 'death' conversation soon, right? I'll ask about that though. Buying a dog in japan is crazy...people often pay $3000 and up for one.
[31] I got used to Remy. The Sox radio guy though..yikes.
There ya go!
[33] Castiglione, you mean. Funny, I kind of enjoy him! I get a warm feeling when he's announcing a homer for the Sox' opponents.
I mean, honestly, I don't listen to them much. If I'm in the car and there's nothing else on sometimes -- when I can't get the AM station the Yanks are on.
For some reason I don't like Dave O'Brien, the more vanilla middle America sounding guy on NESN tv. It's probably more my problem than his.
Ohhhhhhh man. Second Just-Foul for Gary tonight.
God he hits that fucking ball hard. Jesus.
[33] not necessarily, buried Sparky in March after a couple months shy of 12 years. Longest I lived with a living creature since college.
$75 is the highest adoption fee I've paid. And I had to watch my grandmother come live with us for hospice in 1974, when I was 9. Mom's an RN, so she got to deal with her mother's dying from colon cancer. 5 years later I was burying Snoopy. It's not fun, but death is part of life
This is going to turn into a four hour game, isn't it?
[35] May the Gods save me from Vanilla Middle America anything.. :)
[37] True, and my wee ones lost their granny already so they're experienced. I'm trying to push for a dauschund, good with kids, small enough for a Japanese house.
Stop doing the wave!
Wow.
Well, nice outing for the big guy. One of the biggest positives of the season, if you think about it. Good comeback.
[39] Snoopy, my childhood dog was a dauschund mix, very family friendly, even got to dress him up in a Charlie McCarthy outfit. Owning a pet also teaches responsibility.
Wait CC in the 8th? OK, one batter.
After 2017, year to year deal for CC?
[43] I dunno. At *most*. He could well be done. I really doubt he'll be worth the money he would ask for.
[44] 10 mil, plus 5 as a charitable contribution (tax right off) where he wants, to be a fifth starter and mentor?
No Save situation now!
[45] Oh, hm. Maybe. I guess $10M is a 2 WAR player, which he could conceivably be.
My legs hurt from that McCann run
[47] Really? Hmm...I still don't like WAR, it's too general..
[49] Yeah, when you're thinking about money, it's useful, though.
Arguably CC has value to the team that goes beyond the wins he generates with his ERA, though.
God, this game is just interminable.
What numbers does CC need to hit for the HOF, or is he there already?
One down
Two down
Hm, I think he probably can't make the Hall. Not too far off, but not Hall level.
Ballgame over, Yankees win!
Swept.
Not that it means anything, but, winning is better, always.
Three down! No hits for Poopi, win for CC, night all!
