Crazy that people are complaining about Daniel Murphy. 3 days, 2 games when his wife is giving birth?

(1) Someone complained about that? Must not have kids. That's crazy.

Man, that Chad Curtis piece was heavy. What a sick f@ck.

Anyone else a bit turned off by the Jeter farewell tour thing? I find it impossible to listen to the announcers go on and on about it..LOVE the captain but let's not forget the 'leadership' he showed by not giving SS to A-Rod, the better fielder..it all just seems a bit over the top.

Yeah, Francesa was in full caveman mode. What an imbecile that man is.*

I want three hits from Solarte this evening. (Does 'solarte' mean 'to sun yourself'?)

*No offense to imbeciles intended.

(3) Francesca. Naturally.

Boy, can't wait till the Yanks get out of Houston and start playing some weaker teams they can beat up on.

1) That's crazy, man.

Except the people who are bitching about it will never remember this and he'll remember being with his wife for his whole life.

2) P.S. tonight is Take 3, the Don't Suck Edition of Yankee Baseball. And they'se winning tonight, guys.

See Yankees, that's what you should be doing.

Hm.

Ah.
Well, this will make it much easier to get guys out.

Yeah I'd have gone home.

I turn on the game to find ... this???

Nice thinking, Solarte.

::facepalm::

Yay!

This is the longest Aoril Fools joke of all time - cut it out already, this shit ain't funny no more.

When the bases are loaded and I change the channel and then turn back to a commercial I assume a double play. That must be good.

This Houston pitcher is meat. Yanks will get to him eventually. Just a matter of Nova calming down.

Scrappy Yankees vs. Powerhouse Astros

Run Ichi, run!

The Wife calls him Port Jervis.

Hey! What's this???

Atta kid, baby!

Congrats, Solarte!

Hey, offense!

Let's all applaud again, let's all applaud again.

A rally. Go figure.

Diana must love him.

OK, Carlito. Time for dinner.

Kid has a good eye. Might amount to something one of these days.

We'll take it.

Bop.

And now his first run scored! A lead, a lead.

Better than zero runs.

Hey yeah, first lead of the season.

A lead ... whodathunkit???

WTF? Does Ivan dislike Jason Castro? He knows Jason isn't related to Fidel, right?

Me likey.

Hm. Warming up to this guy fast.

Yay Captain! And the kid's hustle earns a run.

That's what I'm talking about.

2RS in his first game. Watch out, Rickey.

Hey, Nova, you're supposed to HOLD THEM HERE!

Oh ffs!

DON'T HIT JASON CASTRO PLEASE.

I'm thinking strikes would be good.

Pitcher's best friend ...

Damn, the GIDP has been berry berry good to Ivan.

I hate these western games. Vikings is on in a few minutes.

[45] Lol...I'll be checking out soon to see what Ragnar and the gang are up to. : )

Isn't Pedroia like 5 feet and hasn't he batted cleanup more than a time or two?

[45] Without spoilers, how has this season been? I've all the episodes stacked up on my dvr.

Pedroia ain't 5'8".

[49] I think he is. He just has a hobbit-like demeanor. Deceptive.

[50] You may be right. He seems like he might be five foot nothing. But you may be right.

just got home from the studio. watching the game on my laptop, via mlb package, for the first time.

why in the world is GI Joe taking Nova out? i was thinking he could go 7.

matchups!

ps - i'm watching the astros feed. i can change to YES...

[50] please don't compliment the pony by comparing him to a hobbit. harrumph.

[52] Because he had a hard time finding the plate? I don't have a problem with this one, Nova's not been quite on all night.

Yeah, he was all over the place, esp. this inning. His pitch count wasn't high but he didn't have much control.

clearly, Joe is a genius. i must be a drummer, or something...

Also, because Adam Warren.

[54] [55] thanks, fellas! yeah, and i saw the guy due up ripped a double earlier.

nice to see you both! : )

Thelarmis, my son is in Hobbiton. Or the Shire, I forget which. He's studying in New Zealand. "Studying." In fact wandering around the country, and now doing a North Island LotR tour of some kind.

Apparently, not everyone's buying it:

Jeez, something went wrong with that comment. In short, there were a couple of funny articles about Pedroia's height that come up on the google.

Okay, kid, got one more hit in you tonight?

Warren didn't look half bad.

Nova's curveball really wore out the lefty batter's box tonight.

Dude kinda reminds me of Melky at the plate, with his stance ...

Holy LOL. Two in one game!

[24] Awesome, RI. And the kid has good initials, too - YS. I look forward to seeing him hit there!

Uh, line-drive-in-the-box-score???

There are the Astros!!!

3 games in and I get to state one of my favorite creeds, "Let the pitcher catch pop ups for fuck's sake!" Ha.

3-for-3 !!!

[69] Even if he wanted to, I think he lost it badly in the lights. He looked lost.

[58] Good to "see" ya, too!

jj, you have a comment in moderation, I think, so your numbering is off. (Subtract one for the true numbering.)

[72] (?) Oh dear, it's all gone pear-shaped. I'm very html out of practice. It's my homage to the Astros' fielding.

SOOOOO-Lar-tey, Whohhhh-Ohhhh...

C'Mon Jeter, take a candlestick to this peacock!

Oh, noes, Derek!

[74] Get a Clue.

[59] That is sooo far beyond awesome!!! We would love to go there for our honeymoon, but it's too expensive and we don't have the time. Maybe one day...

[77] Wait, huh, wha???

You're engaged?

Warren has looked ... quite good so far.

[78] YUP!

[79] He looked good last year too, didn't he? Yeah, he's a keeper.

Dude, congratulations!

And she, I mean, she knows what she's getting into, right?

nice pitching, kid.

[78] Whawhahuh???

SECONDED!!!

[1] [2] Jazz, are you forgetting where you live?

Japanese management complains if you take a couple of days off for a funeral, never mind a birth. And women are regularly canned (for "performance" reasons) while on maternity leave.

Meanwhile slackers are always "working" overtime to get free dinners and taxi coupons.

[82] Thanks!!! : )

And, yeah. This whole thing is pretty much her idea ; )

Hey - I think I have your main email address. I can send a pic, if you want proof...

Yes, pic!

[85] What up, Boat!

I remember but you forget I work at a small, 'suitless' company with flexible hours. Japanese traditional firms are totally in the Stone Age.

[80] Three Cheers for thelarmis and future Mrs. thelarmis!

[84] Thanks, cult! I'll shoot you a text in a little bit...

RI - I found an old email addy, back from my 1st CD. Not sure if it's still valid...

[88] Thanks, Jazz!!!

What happened with Jeter? My feed died.

[88] Oyasuminasai, OK Jazz!

[88] Nice day for Cherry Blossom viewing...this weekend will be the end.

nice catch, kid!

Man, that reminds me why I hate playing 3rd base, SOOOOOO much.

I hope we've seen the last of Kelly Johnson.

[87] RI - check your inbox. email should be there. if not, let me know...

[88] Mr OK - you saw pix, right? if not, i'll shoot you an email.

Cult - text forthcoming...

Oh my god, you are so out of your league, Thelarmis.
She just likes drummers, huh?

[96] he'll prolly hit 20 dingers this season. and he's mainly been a 2nd baseman. he'll most likely spell roberts there and take over after the inevitable injury...
