Beautiful photo

1) Yeah, his work is beautiful. This was really evoked the few months I once spent living in Santa Monica. Really lovely image.

I guess Girardi figured Beltran couldn't play right field at the Big A any worse than Ichirio did last night.

However, offense-wise, I would much rather see Solarte at 2nd and Johnson at 3rd.

5 weeks in and the Yanks/Sox/Rays/Jays/O's all look seriously flawed. 87 wins can take the division?

5 cult of basebaal   ~  May 6, 2014 10:01 pm

[3] Indeed. I totally understand why (having lived in the LA area for 20+ years).

6 cult of basebaal   ~  May 6, 2014 10:02 pm

Good to see I found the cable channel this game was playing on ... just in time for the Angels to score.

Grrrrrrr.

7 Boatzilla   ~  May 6, 2014 10:22 pm

Dontchaknow!

8 Boatzilla   ~  May 6, 2014 10:23 pm

That's our 2nd baseman. Just sayin'.

9 cult of basebaal   ~  May 6, 2014 10:27 pm

Well, 2-2 is a decent start ...

10 Boatzilla   ~  May 6, 2014 10:44 pm

That was a timely-ass K, Kuroda.

11 Boatzilla   ~  May 6, 2014 10:57 pm

These Johnny Walker spots, read by Sterling, on the radio are a crack up.

12 thelarmis   ~  May 6, 2014 10:58 pm

i love west coast games! i'm just getting home from work and having dinner. but mlb.tv keeps freezing up on me and my adobe keeps crashing. frustrating.

13 thelarmis   ~  May 6, 2014 10:59 pm

Solar!

i dig this kid.

14 thelarmis   ~  May 6, 2014 11:00 pm

careful, gritner.

15 cult of basebaal   ~  May 6, 2014 11:16 pm

Very good job, Hiroki-san!

16 thelarmis   ~  May 6, 2014 11:19 pm

these umps fucking suck.

17 thelarmis   ~  May 6, 2014 11:20 pm

yay, a rally!

please score runs. please.

i LOVE hearing the Yankee cheers in Cali! : )

18 thelarmis   ~  May 6, 2014 11:23 pm

another bullshit fucking rundown.

bollocks.

19 cult of basebaal   ~  May 6, 2014 11:23 pm

Fucking pathetic.

20 thelarmis   ~  May 6, 2014 11:24 pm

Sori!!!

21 cult of basebaal   ~  May 6, 2014 11:24 pm

Well, at least that wasn't so sorry from Sori!

22 thelarmis   ~  May 6, 2014 11:39 pm

fuck.

that was a battle. i'm sure that's it for Hiro. he was excellent.

must get outta this with the lead in tact...

23 thelarmis   ~  May 6, 2014 11:42 pm

here we go.

walking dude to face the guy who's gotta be older than he claims...

24 thelarmis   ~  May 6, 2014 11:43 pm

jesus christ.

STRIKES!!!

25 thelarmis   ~  May 6, 2014 11:46 pm

mother. fucker.

shoulda brought in the hamma. saves are stoopid.

26 Boatzilla   ~  May 6, 2014 11:49 pm

I can't believe I got suckered in again. They will lose.

Questions for the post game presser:

1. Why not just shoot Trumbo in the parking lot, instead of trying to pitch to him?
2. Why use Kelly, especially after last night, to face Puljos? Betances is fresh. Dave Roberson is fresh.

27 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 6, 2014 11:51 pm

[26] You mean Trout? :)

Trout & a healthy King Albert are scary..

28 thelarmis   ~  May 6, 2014 11:55 pm

Robby! : )

29 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 6, 2014 11:57 pm

[28] I knew that was a great signing!

Nightly Fun Fact: Jose 'New Dr. K' Fernandez of the Marlins makes less $ this year than...Bobby Bonilla. Let's Go Mets!

30 thelarmis   ~  May 6, 2014 11:59 pm

roberts has as many homers this season as a certain 2nd basemen with a similar name. Hint: Mariano doesn't like him. ; )

31 thelarmis   ~  May 7, 2014 12:01 am

does mlb.tv freeze up a lot or is it my laptop?

32 thelarmis   ~  May 7, 2014 12:05 am

Yankees win!!!

fuck yeah : )

33 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 7, 2014 12:07 am

[31] Could be both. When that happened a lot to mine I either reinstall Flash Player or clear the 'cache'.

34 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 7, 2014 12:07 am

Oh yeah, 'Hammer Time!'

35 Boatzilla   ~  May 7, 2014 12:08 am

Oh, I get it. They just wanted to make sure Kuroda got the win. Sorry for my loss of faith.

I suppose Mystic and Aura made the journey to Cali. Heels: tall. Bikini: small. She said...etc.

36 Boatzilla   ~  May 7, 2014 12:10 am

[29] No Pujols. Kuroda pitched to Trout. He got a triple then they went to Kelly.

37 Boatzilla   ~  May 7, 2014 12:11 am

[29] I agree with letting Kuroda pitch to Trout.

38 Boatzilla   ~  May 7, 2014 12:15 am

Kelly gets a Blown Save and a "Win."
The rule makes absolutely no sense. It should be changed.

(Of course, the "save" makes little sense as well....but don't want to tarnish our boy's legacy.)
