Happy 4th you guys.
Today marks the 75th anniversary of Lou Gehrig’s retirement speech.
Over at the Daily Beast, check out this excerpt from Ray Robinson’s fine Gehrig biography, The Iron Horse.
Game this afternoon.
Let’s hope our boys make it 2-in-a-row.
Never mind the diet:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Happy red hat day, y'all. Go Yankees!
Happy Fourth of July everyone!
And on a down note via Lohud, looks like CC's season is over and there's a possibility his career is over. Ugh.
Omg, his *career*?
Apparently he might need microfracture surgery, which is kind of hit or miss right now.
Oh joy, red hats and Joe West behind home plate.
Lead off triple! Gritner!!
That's a beaut. Just a double for most of the league.
Sweet!
This is shaping up to be a nice afternoon.
damn. i missed the fireworks in the top half!
i don't like those kinds of fireworks.
Ugh.
Or it's going to be one of those games.
man, those hats are *awful*
crazy about CC...
has there been any mention anywhere about today being The Boss' birthday?
um, that was a strike, brains.
i'll take the double.
hope country joe isn't pissed...
get this run home!
[16] it was mentioned in the pre-game show
Got that run back.
nice catch.
another run.
brains and joe once again! seems harmless...
[19] acha.
damn. wish that stayed in the park...
let's cash both of these guys in now.
fuck yeah!!!
that's what i wanted : )
Me!
You!
This has the makings of a great game
i remember Rags' no-hitter!
jesus christ, chase.
first pitch homer of each frame?
WTF???
I can accept the Twins scoring one run if we score three runs.
Oy.
at least it saved a 1st and 3rd situation.
damn.
i wanted two...
ooh. that throw was *perfect*. wow.
looked like roberts may have hurt his forearm or wrist on that...
glad the runner at 3rd didn't run.
My gosh! 11 hits after 2 innings that consumed one hour. This has the makings of a very long game
frankie is having a busy day!
wait. first batter of the inning didn't hit a homer on the first pitch?
hmmm, how 'bout that!
epic fail on my part -- i've been watching espn2 instead of mlb.tv where i get the yes feed. e@#$ is truly awful. what a shitty broadcast, and it wasn't even hated guys. just insipid...
crap.
jesus fucking christ.
chase fooling no one. hard hit balls all over the place.
6-4.
Let's get those runs back.
Roberts doing his part.
chase only last 3 innings.
feh.
Lookee what I found in my glove.
roberts with 2 doubles, a triple, and a nice tag on the caught stealing.
[42] 3 for 3 in first 4 innings, he could get 6 ABs by end of game
[44] my feed is slow. just saw it...
there's a quick 1-2-3!
i don't like that kind of quick 1-2-3 inning...
Huff looking really good today...
Maybe switch Huff & Whitely.
Sure would be nice to have a 7th run.
Frankie!
I guess not
Ruh roh
really need a K here...
Phew!
whew.
nice pitch!
one more...
ugh
fuck.
of course his helmet fell off...
1-run game.
please get outta this with a lead.
one more strike
WOW!!!
nice play, Tex!!!
Working without a net.
Zelous!
Aw damn.
One down.
Two down.
Clavoed!
Trouble
crap.
oh, and i missed Z's catch. i need to see the replay...
Three down!
one more strike.
YAY!!!
6 Ks in a row for the Hamma!
i just watched the catch.
Z has a lotta fun out there! : )
Missed the game..is CC really gone???
[78] According to Girardi, "pretty much"...
Athletics have bumped up their game and become The A-Team; methinks Theo's career now rides on this trade.
