Wow..Banter is as empty tonight as the Stadium..everyone out on a nice Friday night in NYC?

7 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 12, 2013 6:38 pm

All those empty seats do look harsh. It does look mighty damn cold, though.

8 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 12, 2013 6:39 pm

Oh for fuck's sake with Nuney. Grrrr........Damn that's gotta hurt.

9 bp1   ~  Apr 12, 2013 6:41 pm

Geez - doesn't look good for Nuney.

14 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 12, 2013 6:55 pm

All I know is if I'm gonna watch Nune5 play 100+ games this year, we're gonna have to come up with a better nickname than "nuney" ...

15 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 12, 2013 6:56 pm

Paul O'Neill highlights sure are looking aged. Holy shite!

16 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 12, 2013 7:01 pm

Good oppo hit from Robbie.

17 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 12, 2013 7:03 pm

It only took 8 games but I'm all in on Pyouk! Great ABs.

18 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 12, 2013 7:05 pm

[17] Pyouk! Especially with base running like that. Oi!

19 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 12, 2013 7:24 pm

I slag on MLB for many, many things ... but their commitment to their online presence and integration into the 21st century of portability is top notch.

It took me 10 minutes to a) buy a monthly MLB.tv subscription, b) set up a link with my Panasonic plasma tv and c) start watching tonight's game in HD via the internet on my tv.

That's tits on bacon awesome ...

26 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 12, 2013 7:53 pm

CC having a good game ... sure would like it if he was hitting 95 again when he wanted to ...

27 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 12, 2013 8:05 pm

I've been watching baseball more than 30 years and still cannot understand Balk calls.

28 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 12, 2013 8:06 pm

Fucking lame!

29 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 12, 2013 8:12 pm

Walking off the mound after the third out you could see CC say, "Horseshit."

Agreed. Bad call.

30 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 12, 2013 8:17 pm

Digging Frankie Brains at the plate so far this year ...

31 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 12, 2013 8:17 pm

Oh great..Buck and JoeyJoeJoe can now play bullpen rouxlette..I may be able to clean my apartment and sort entire filing cabinet by time this game finishes.

45 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 12, 2013 8:45 pm

Shoulda ended 2-1. Whatever.
All Rise. Hail to the triple play.

49 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 12, 2013 9:02 pm

All praise be to Mo ...

50 RIYank   ~  Apr 12, 2013 9:24 pm

Hey yose;
Got home a little late, heard about fifteen minutes of the game from John and Suzyn but cued it up on mlb.tv starting in the bottom of the seventh. Damn. A 3-run error and a triple play. Don't see either of those too often, let alone the same game.

Thanks be to Mo.
