Today gives Hiroki and I’ve got a good feeling that he’s going to pitch a strong game. Will the bats give him some help, that’s the question.
Brett Gardner CF
Jayson Nix SS
Robinson Cano 2B
Mark Teixeira 1B
Travis Hafner DH
Kevin Youkilis 3B
Vernon Wells LF
Ichiro Suzuki RF
Chris Stewart C

lot of buzz for this one, huh?
Don't ya know?
El Duque at Old Timer's Day! I'm gonna be out of town, but if I wasn't I would love to see that.
fun, quick read on old pal Jason

Whoa, I didn't know the game was on this afternoon...on TeeVee here, even. I can see from the boxscore that Vernon Wells is keeping up his hot hitting.
This isn't good. Maybe I should go back to work.
Stewart missed him at the plate
CB Bucknor blew a call?? SURELY YOU JEST!
edit:
Chris Stewart blew a defensive play?? SURELY YOU JEST!
Ugh.
Oy, that would have been an RBI
Let's go! One run, just one...
Come on Mark.
Ruh roh.
Crap.
Two outs
Three outs!
Houdini!
Joba for the 10th? Or does he need to recover from yesterday's shitshow?
Ichiro with the SB
Why bunt Gardner of all people to third w no outs? Ugh
C'mon, Teix! For. Fuck's. Sake!
Come on Mark
I'll take that. It's up to you Pronk.
Pronk just caught a major break. That was strike 3 all day every day. Except today.
Oof.
Youkilis could make some friends here
Modammit!
Brutal
This is about 5 minute late but booooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Weird delivery
Is Stewart capable of stealing 3rd AND home?
Utterly pathetic offense.
13.
Atta boy, Robbie. He friggin' ripped that one.
Score a fucking run!
What'll it be this time, a triple play?
Ofer6. Whoo-hoo!
PYOUK!
zzzzzzz...... These guys are shitty.
If the Yankees offense were a dog, it would be put down as an act of mercy.
Murderous.
This team really kinda sucks
Oh goody. Now we get to bat again.
Stewart is making Scooter sad.
OK, fine.
Good lord.
So... it's up to Teixeira. Ugh.
Now I remember: I hate baseball.
[49] we all do
Oh fuck, here comes Hafner-Youkilis-Wells.
[51] Maybe they'll all walk.
Guess not.
Teixeira through Wells is 0-24 today.
0 for 7. Wow.
Put this offense out of our misery.
[55] Hafner or Wells?
[57] Whatever. (I was thinking of Wells.)
Hey, Vern!
Out!
God help me, I think I was looking forward to that ending the game.
Adam Warren is da man.
So, I check out of the game in the fifth inning or so, make dinner, do some family stuff, come back, check the score online, only to see the game is in the 15th inning. (They must have given up on it on Rogers Sportsnet, because now the Jays are on).
Oh, and Vernon Wells is 0-7.
That signing was just friggin' genius.
[54] Awesome.
Wow..welldone Warren but surely Mariano has to get in the game now?
[65] Definitely not. He'll only pitch with the lead.
[66] I cannot begin to describe how much I hate the way managers use closers..
Make it look easy, Rob.
[67] In this case the problem is that if Mo comes in, Warren is done, and then what happens if the game goes three more innings?
Are these guys playing Keep-Away with an 'L'? Why is this game still going??? It's annoying and I'm not even watching.
I would go to Mo right here.
No, wait, I take that back. Who is our 16th inning guy now that Swisher is gone?
Ichiro giving me ulcers in the field.
[71] Great job by Warren but can't risk another inning
This is ridiculous.
Standing O for Warren.
Yike.
Sterling thought that was gone
Excellent.
Hm, this kid can go another inning, right? If we don't score, I mean. On the off chance that the Yankees do not score a run. Hahahahahahah!
[79] Bwahahahahahahahaha
0-8.
0-7
This is a regular murders row: they're killing me.
Awesome.
AAAAND 0-8
4-7 hitters are 0-28.
[83] Not to mention what they're doing to BAs.
Interesting.
Probably the right call.
Mo?!
(Going to Mo, I mean.)
[86] Seriously.
And to review, according to the Yankees, there are no players in the entire organization who offer any even marginal upgrade over Vernon Wells/Lyle Overbay.
Ah, Andy. That makes sense.
Oh, well, that figures. What the hell was Vern doing there?
And fine defence by Wells, too.
Not a fan of the IBB.
Mo with an IBB? Can't recall the last time I saw that, must have been a WS.
[93] Maintaining possession of the ball is so important on defense. He just refused to relinquish it.
Sigh.
Fuck. I blame the offense.
This has to be rock bottom, right?
Shouldn't the OFs have been shallower?
[99] Why?
Somebody needs to blare some David Bowie in Joe's office tonight, because the hint is definitely needed.
[100] Yes, they should. In general when Mariano pitches they should be playing very shallow.
[101] It was just so awful to watch. Believe us on this one.
