Yanks out on the West Coast for 9 games starting tonight in Oakland. They’ve got 3 again the A’s then down to L.A. for 3 against the Dodgers and finally 3 up in Seattle.
If you’re hanging up late night this should be fun. Long trip like this can be a horror show. Let’s hope they avoid that and just handle their own.
Never mind the rearview mirror:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
I’m out. Though Saturday 4 pm is reasonable. The Sunday night baseball.
I wonder if Kay makes the long trip. I’d think that his surgery is too recent to be in a closed cabin for so long.
Reunited, and it feels so good ...
Love these west coast games, 1105AM start here in the Big Mikan. Me and thelarmis can hold down the fort in the later innings.
Hey, Dodger Thoughts!
I'll look forward to those games, Jon Weisman, even though (a) I think you're gonna win that series, and (b) actually I'm not going to watch them because I go to bed at 10:30 EDT.
But, cool, blast from the (my) past.
[2][4] Yep!
10:30, eh RI Yank? Don't be ashamed, I think you have a few years on me and these days I often fall asleep on the couch before 10 while watching the MLB recaps...
West Coast! End of summer. End of my late nights. Caught a tv from across a bar earlier. I thought they were showing Randy Johnson highlights. It actually was a AAA pitcher called up by A's. A.J. Puk. 6'7"
Wow, Gary!
[5] You old fart! I just turned 56 (yesterday) and I'm up past midnight every night.
As Spike Lee said, "Wake the fuck up!" ;>)
One last word, "I am Gary."
BOOM goes Kraken!
[7] Happy B-Day! You're up past midnight, but you don't get up at 6 like me! :)
I am looking forward to the Chapman-Chapman match up later on.
Ouch. Don't throw that again.
JFC! Nice 1st inning.
[9] Damn straight. Due to old age and maybe the heat I've been waking up at odd hours recently. I generally like to lie in until 8 or 9.
Jaysus, this game has gone to shit in a hurry.
German must be taking advice from Paxton.
36
[15] So the Rays lost?
Those bobble head dolls never look anything like the players. Who's making that shit?
I hate the Fucking a's. Dammit!
Looks like German got a fresh chunk of chaw. Let's hope it helps.
[4] We'll see who wins the series, but I think one thing we can count on is the papers making way too much about the result :)
I think the Saturday and Sunday games will be over before your bedtime.
Well, if Jon is here, I guess I need to show up, too. Hello, everybody!
The Yanks almost always suck in Oakland.
It just didn't feel like our game. It wasn't like the As knocked German around too much, just a few misplaced pitches.
The encouraging part is Sanchez and Judge mashing. These 2 seem like old veterans at this point, but I hope Judge is getting his timing back or over his undisclosed injury. Oblique injuries can take a long time to heal, and maybe he isn't 100%?
If we can get a few starts for Severino and he could be a force for the Yanks. September call ups will be a huge help this year for this walking wounded squad.
Maybe we catch lightning in a bottle with a young arm or two?
Didi to Tauchman, what a combo.
Another nice start from Happ.
[24] They really can't start him in the playoffs, can they?
I can't wait to not see Happ in October.
Absolute dog shite.
Must cash in.
Maybin with 2 horrible strike outs tonight. Both with 2 outs and risp.
[29] Can't keep relying on players like Maybin, Ford and Tauchman..regression is inevitable :(
That's 2 back, still got a chance.
True true, Mr. OkJT. Though nothing will matter in the end if the pitching continues to slide.
Ha. Here's that dude I thought was Randy Johnson when I saw him on TV yesterday.
[33] They didn't give him much a chance, three batters?
The pretend banging of bat on roof kills me. Lol...C'mon, Yanks. Tie it up!
That was his debut. Short leash.
The Yankees have had more garbage swings and ks these last 2 nights than I've seen all season. Oi!
Lame. Fucking Bollocks. Losing streak.
Puk is thinking, "Oh what fools these Yankees be."
This series is brutal.
The Cinderella Story is over.
What the hell was Tauchman doing out there? Looks like he was diving for a different ball.
Now Didi.
I think we should probably prepare for this team losing in the first round, probably in 3 games. This pitching staff is absolutely garbage. The only way I see them advancing one round is if they play the Twins and that's only if they average 9 runs in each game.
Happ stinks. Paxton stinks. CC is toast. Tanaka is lost. U.G.L.Y.
We need a Savages rant on this ump.
Meanwhile, Verlander is in CY Young talks from what I've heard. Oi!
Jaysus Christ this ump sucks.
Keystone Yanks.
Gleyber needs new glasses.
Bad Tanaka is BRUTAL Tanaka.
Fucking ugly.
This team need an enema.
[49] +1 for a reference to the best Batman movie!
[48] Yes, but they've made at least 5 bad plays or misplays behind him, whether they were called errors or not. The whole team is playing like shit.
[50] We aim to please.
Piscoty always makes me think of Italian food.
[51] This series has been a BRUTAL experience on both sides of the ball ...
I will try my juju move of turning this game off and going to work. Thank me if it works.
I'm going to back to watching "A Bridge Too Far".
Which probably should be the nickname for this season ...
Preach it, Cone. Move up Gleyber.
sigh.
Nobody watching? We've got HRs by Hizonnor and Kraken and a Grand Salami by Sir Didi.
Wow. All alone. Jazz? Were you out too late last night?
A-Rod says, "This is a statement game for the Yankees."
Kinda annoying when the sound and picture aren’t in sync.
Howdy. Finally a game I can watch.
too late for last nite. Happy to be watching now, even if it's FS1. btw, hate the black and white unis.
and sorta funny to see CC in short pants.
nice swing CC!
Good, out. Now we don’t have to worry about CC on the basepaths.
Of course #obligatoryhomer.
oops. the OHR
well that ends the no no
Judge!
uh, is it Glayber or the 1st base coach who forgot how many outs there were?
Lead off hit is good
Rats
Double switches are annoying.
Nerts, walking the dog didn’t work.
Nice idea, Didi. But Scooter is displeased with the execution.
Fu blue. Way high.
Hmmm
Ruh roh, clean slide to me but don’t like to see that.
Safe at second!
Modammit.
