The Yanks coughed one up last night—couldn’t cash in on all those men they put on base—and well, sometimes, that’s just gonna happen. Doesn’t mean we have to like it. And hey, at least Belgium won, and seeing how my Ma is Belgian, that made up for it.
Here’s hoping the Yanks can snap back to it and still take this series.
Never mind the rain drops:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Picture by Bags
ENGLAND WON A PK SHOOTOUT ... DOGS AND CATS LIVING TOGETHER, MASS HYSTERIA!
I don't know where I'm going with that ...
Congrats to Belgium then.
Luckily, Belgium and England are my two sentimental favorites this tourney, since they both feature multiple players from Spurs ...
Nice first inning from Ze German!
Hicks!!!
Hicks with the stcks
I love Hicks! I’m in NYC, so I have a blackout restriction on my mlb phone app. Hope the game is on where we’re headed to dinner, but I’m guessing no...
cult - Herman Ze German is the original drummer from The Scorpions! \m/
ZE GERMAN!
Higgy!
HIGGY!!!
Hicks & Higgs!!
Damn, that's some serious sweat!
C'mon Drury, don't make this dreary!
Wasn't sexy, but I'll take it.
Gift runs are always appreciated
Aw crap
We’ll that escalated quickly
[14] 'Cult's good tonight, innt he?'
The bottom of the lineup though..nice to see 東が丘 finally get an MLC hit, two taters is nice!
[19] Oops, should be 東岡 I think..anyways, congrats, kid!
Didi with the leather
Oy vey
And Stanton broke the stadium
Phew. Need some insurance. Lots and lots of insurance
Shreve? Shreve? Shreve? Why in hell is Shreve doing up in the bullpen.
Phew, Shreve!
I remember Flip Wilson. Heck I remember Laugh-in
Thank you Giancarlo
F.U. Blue. Outside
[27] That's random! I know of both but slightly before my time, broadcast years..maybe caught Laugh-In on re-runs?
One down.
One down.
Wasn’t Flip Wilson.
Was Sammy Davis!!!!
[30] caught it in the original. Mom went to night college, dad let us stay up and watch it. But as soon as her car came into the driveway we had to scramble for bed. But she knew what was going on.
How come I get duplicate comments all the time, except tonight?
Three down
Night all
[20] Dude that counts as a "back translation," which in my business is a shit-ass job. ;>)
[37] Wait, I thought being a native English speaker qualifies me for any and all translation jobs in Japan??
Shut up, crybaby. CC didn’t hit you on purpose
Shaky start for CC
Good job, Bird
Excellent job, Stanton!
Tommy John is one.
Three hits, three homers for Higgy! Who else has started a career like this.
RIYank is here to say
(To everyone... uh... rbj)
Happy Independence Day.
Thanks for nothing, Nationals.
[45] Happy 4th of July, RIY. Yankees busting out the fireworks early.
Damage limited.
I'm gonna shoot off to a classic barbecue Fourth party soon... host is a die-hard Sox fan. But I guess we'll both be happy with the season this Fourth.
caught an indy league game last night. Sussex County Miners vs. Jersey Jackels. Fun. just tuned in here. Frigging Nats are soooooooo disappointing. Let's go Yankees.
Good job, CC. Now have some ice cream.
thank you, your honor
Pheeeew!
Judge joins the party
first d, now the o for the Judge
One more out to go
nice win. Happy birthday America, happy birthday to John Stirling.
Shoot, Gleyber to the DL
This guy has been pretty tough against the Yanks.
lead off hit is always acceptable.
interesting that Hicks is hitting 3rd
Dammit, how did he get to that ball
Damn shift ... doesn't feel fair ...
That sucked.
Yeah, don’t run on the long arm of the Judge
That’s a strike, blue
Boo, not nice to steal from Bird
It’s time to deep-six Sonny Whitson.
Damn you, Sonny. And Sale is throwing against the Royales tonight.
FUCK Sonny Gray.
Can we just leave Sonny Gray in Canada.
Hicks!
The Bird is the turd ...
Sometimes you just have to eat the ball.
I’ll take that
Oh, the soft underbelly that is the Blue Jays bullpen
Modammit
I say start Hale and send Sonny to the pen.
When does the Sonny Gray Experiment end?
[78] That would be OK if he could be trusted out of the pen. Mop up in a blow out, maybe?
[80] Yup. I don’t think he has any trade value right now. Maybe NL teams that are out of it, but what’s the return?
Per RAB, the Yankees have until Tuesday to demote Sonny under service time. That might be best.
[83] Please, please, please. [But I don't see it happening.]
I’m out
Gray is just one of those guys who can't pitch in pinstripes. A not so short list. Say goodbye sooner than later
yech. but Hale showing some possibility. of course Effing Shreve is coming in now. Expect a HR.
DD from his knees!
At least we’ve got Sevy today
Lead off homers always appreciated
Belly to belly even better
Thanks, Pillar
Looks like it's you and me, rbj ... happy Saturday.
Ugh ... no thanks Pillar!
just joined in. Sevi gives up a 2 run homer.... and his ERA goes up.
watching the Toronto feed. like watching Canadian commercials. Btw, Hamels getting hammered.
Was that CC getting tossed?
Yup
Happ would not look good in pinstripes
Gardi! needs a double and a single for the cycle
GREAT baserunning from everyone there.
Brett’s got the hard part of the cycle out of the way
Happ and Hamels both lowered their trade value today.
Fuck off, Curtis.
Respectfully,
-me
Not so sharp from Sevy today ...
strike zone is squeezed way too far.
Nice, Sevy!
These Torontos don't seem to play great D
otoh....
I fucking hate the blue jays.
Still not so sharp from Sevy ... another shiite slider.
Grrrrr.
Oh good Croatia beat the Russkies.
Bird really looks like he doesn't have a clue.
never thought I'd say yeah Croatia
97 pitches, I'd go five and fly. Save those bullets for October.
think that's it for Sevi?
I'm with you rbj, provided of course that Shreve is not brought in.
With a 4 run lead?
Probably ...
Looks like Boone agrees with us. Ah, Holder.
Holder is..... surprisingly adequate
I'm thinking they're showcasing Frazer as trade bait.
Well ... poop.
Nice to see Dave Stieb get some love.
I don't like Holder doing an impression of Shreve.
Higgy hits a single
Higa gets a hit thats not a HR.
too many LOB
Time for some dancin'
nice inning for DB
That's a TERRIBLE fucking call.
One down.
Uh oh
Oh noes!
Two
Crap
Phew.
Well, have to settle for one
close so far. wonder who will be closing?
uh oh
Yikes! C’mon, German. One more nasty pitch.
strike zone is very inconsistent today. long foul ...phew.
Wriggles out of danger
in and out of trouble
lead off single is good. Cmon Gardi.
killer DP
Grrrrr ... should would be nice if guys starting hitting with RISP ...
out of trouble. German looks so easy throwing heat.now if him and Bird can decide who covers 1st....
little Miggy needs to cut down on his swing, esp. with 2 strikes
nice to see DD go the other way
This game is making me stabby.
As is the fact that MLB.tv is playing this fucking Keytruda ad ... over and Over and OVER again.
This one's on the hitters.
always disliked Morales
Crud
Miggy! Thought he'd be safe.
little Miggy shows the canon
Bad time for the bats to take a nap
We're going to get URP'd today, aren't we.
This one's on the hitters ...
I thought I was the one taking a nap
a k when needed. Let's see another please
There you go!
thank you. could we get just one more?
Phew!
Now, a run
C'mon bats, put on your hats!
very nice Adam
nice start again
C'mon Stanton, stop rolling over the outside pitch.
FUCK.
bad enough when Stanton strikes out 5 times in a game. but 2 DPS in a row really sucks
yuck
Infuriating
awful close
THERE YA GO!
SOME FUCKING RUNS ... please?
What a shit show.
Yankees must be thinking about the double header tomorrow ... certainly don't have their heads into this one
[170]
They've been absolutely horrible with RISP since the beginning of June.
Ugh.
Doubleheader tomorrow, so why not extra innings?
nice inning Chad
[172] Have to imagine a roster move after today's game ...
Oh, joy ... a bunt.
that's one way to stay out of the DP
Cult.. Probably need an arm or 2 with 4 games in 3 days.
Potentially "dry humping" The Hammer because ... a "save situation"?
Like Chad Green isn't good enough for another inning???
I hate this stupidity
Thank you Brett!
Gardi! the sac bunt works
[177] That's what I meant, need somebody to fill the ranks for the next couple of days ...
That was a Plessy vs Ferguson level of fail there, Aaron ...
Guess Robby is the closer till Chappie comes back.
There's one
that's one.
dos
That's two
And three!
I like it. Cheers, y'all.
FUGLY ... but I'll take it.
ballgame. not the most elegant game, but a W nevertheless. Now, we get 4 against the hapless, hopeless O's. Should feel like home games there with more Yankee fans than o's rooters
