Boy you said a mouthful, RI.
I’ll skip all the gory details and just note that when Francisco Cervelli, filling in for Brian McCann who had a sore foot before the game, tossed the salad in the bottom of the eleventh with the bases loaded and the score tied at one, soccer suddenly became a really interesting sport. All things considered, the Yanks would probably do well to switch to MLS at this point, wouldn’t you agree?
If you still care to know (and I can’t possibly imagine why you wouldn’t), Yanks lost 2-1.

Wimbledon Men's Championship is also on.
I remember when that was an event.
As another side note, Yanks trade Nuno to Arizona for Brandon McCarthy.
I'm missing how this actually helps other than he's Not-Nuno, which really isn't his fault since he's not supposed to be a starter anyway. Oh I get it, McCarthy sort-of is... So you were saying about Wimbledon?
I finally turned on this here tennis. I saw that Djokovic was up 5-2 in the 4th set and I thought it would be over. Good comeback to just be in this for Federer.
Heckuva match in London. Gotta do some yardwork.
this has gotten intense.
Sori DFAd. I'm sad to see him go though I know that he needed to.
that last game was a bit lopsided. OK, we start at 2:10 i see. I guess i'll listen to records.
I needed Sori to steal bases; I think he's 11 away from 300.
I'm not sure he got on base 11 times...
[7] good idea! Though my albums have only been released on CD. Maybe I'll do a gatefold vinyl for the next one ; )
I just got about 20 new Blue Note reissues. I'm psyched!
[8] I can always count on you for those kinds of stats. Makes me sad to see Sori didn't get to 300. Alas.
[9] music always does the trick!
Good start
Aw dagnabit. Almost had a third run there.
a run!
more runs!
damn it. make that another run.
Dumb, dumb, dumb from Tesh.
Sheesh. Shoulda been more. But, not bad.
2's better than 0
(I feel better karma today.)
Hey, it's our old buddy NunE5!
How, that's all for Sori???
keep em coming boys
We have a lot of hits. I'm worried that we've already used up the allotment for the day here in the first nine batters.
Wow Anderson is on the phone with nobody out in the second. Dang.
Oh, that's not a strike. But okay, give Brett a chance to swing...
Full count to Brett, bases loaded, nobody out. Good situation, key pitch here...
Oh, boooooo. The Rule.
Yeah, see, the fourth pitch was not a strike. Damn.
Push ups,Slappy.
Gah.
Hm, well, better than a pop out. Jetes almost nailed it.
Almost.
Um, who is the color announcer?
Me! Woo hoo!!!
Oh, fucking ripped.
Fucking Ellsbury. Awesome.
And he almost did it in the first inning, too.
That's the spirit!
Allez les Jacobins!
7 hits thru 2 innings, should end up with about 30 ;)
At least Kuroda has some run support. Yanks bats had been very quiet when he pitches, lowest of all Yank pitchers, I believe.
Oh, are you guys watching YES? I have TBS. I missed the beginning and I don't know who the booth guys are.
[35] Sorry to hear that. I try and stay away from TBS
[35] Can't help. Watching YES so game blacked out on TBS in NY area.
Ichi-DOH!
[35] Darn, now you got me thinking. Eric Karros ex-Dodger, Aaron Boone, David Wells?
Games are so much more fun to watch when the team is actually hitting.
Aren't they, though?
Yes, and singles, sac flies and balks help to bulk up the score...
Blargh.
C'mon Hiroki, nail this shit down.
Good thing we've got those 9 runs
Dang, Kuroda suddenly got superhittable.
Not liking this development.
DAMMIT.
[39] Yes, it's Wells! Jeez. I knew his his voice was familiar but I couldn't place it.
[[48] Now I feel better
There!
No worries.
So Kuroda's kryptonite is run support. Go figure.
[51] Pretty much, it seems like.
Poor, poor outing from Hiroki.
Dammit. I want Double Digits!!
Will Beltran join the hits party?
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Shitty decision from Ichiro.
This game should've been better for our run diff...
yeesh, letting them back in the game i see.
fuckin a.
Who knew a 9-0 game could become so tense.
It's not that tense.
But this Jim Miller guy sucks.
Betances. Goddamit. Bullshit.
Oh, Zelous!
Kung Pao!!!
Well that's satisfying. Three Jeter hits.
I guess he won't catch Honus Wagner though, huh?
[64] why not catch Wagner? He only needs 30 hits right?
No Betances, but a D-Rob squander.
[65] Oh, I thought Wagner had 3500-and-something.
Man, Dave gets a lot of third-strike-lookings.
[68] When you are the Hammer ... everything looks like a nail!
Okay, now it's tense.
But they were just well-placed grounders so I'm not really worried.
Okay, a little.
Cap Anson is at 3435, so Derek could catch him. Replace a Cap with a Cap'n. Tris Speaker is most likely out of reach at 3514.
BRING DOWN THE HAMMA!
[67] well, it seems whenever i see the hits leaders, it's a different tally. But mlb.com says he has 3430. mlb top hits leaders
NAILED!!!
NAILED!
[73] Baseball Reference says 3420. That's weird.
Anyway, I must have either misread something or misremembered something.
Oh, come on.
Dammit.
NAIL THIS NEXT TWINKIE PLEASE.
shit. c'mon robertson.
Shit.
If Suzuki gets a hit I am going to be tense indeed.
Cult, you're the echo today. "Nailed." "Shit."
Phew!
KURT SUZUKI YOU GOT HAMMERED.
Whew.
hurray! damn, made me nervous there
HAMMA TIME!
