Hey, a hit!

Ladies and gentlemen, Stephen Drew!

Aw dammit

Damn, Cappie is efficient, too.

Damn, what a catch. And on turf.

Whew.

Hmm, first and second, no outs, how are we not going to score this time?

your good luck charm is now here. sick drummer is out of bed and watching the game. catcher from my adopted city hits a double, member of my favorite 300-300 club walks. we're in business!

[7] we're going to.

see!!!

fuck yeah.

you're welcome. ; )

Hot damn!

gritner better come around to score. whether it's on this play or another. looks likes it's gonna be another. must plate him!

Yay for Sick Drummer!!!

Well, I guess that's a hit with RISP, but not exactly what I had in mind.

i hope monkeypants is at the game and saw that "hit" live in person! : )

let's chase loup.

What the hell are you looking at, Chase???

louped.

that was absolutely awful.

better not be a dp here.

we really need gritner to score. c'mon, rbj!

Oh jeez, Keystone Blue Jays.

Thank you.

Usually when I get home and flip on the tv I witness horribleness right away. The top 7 frame, however, has been quite fun. : )

fucking *beautiful*!!!

DIONNER!!!

Hell fucking yeah! SNOZZBERRY!!!!!

Holy smokes!!!

A bullet! Hooray, Jacoby!!

Me!

[21] that was such a great throw, i figured he deserved an extra "n" in his name.

[25] YOU!

awesome. i'm loving this inning!

[25] It looks better that way.

It's nice to score runs.

sadly, jeter's AB was quite predictable.

top of the order should prolly be:

rbj
gritner

[27] image is everything.

oreo's are winning big

tigers are winning

king felix goes for the M(ontero)'s later

think i might watch the lester-weaver A's-hatelos matchup later...

kevin Pillar? really?!

i've chased everyone away.

well, i guess i am contagious...

Crap.

crap.

keep this where it is.

Oy.

fuck.

Not optimal.

Holy gawd.

Plenty of E to go around tonight.

Ohhhhhhh, fuck!

(God, we better not lose this fucking game...we better not lose this motherfucking baseball game.)

jeesh. nobody can throw the ball.

where was warren???

Isn't there some rule about being hit by a strike?

jesus. stop letting this unravel.

well, he did kinda turn into it...

Phew!

Exhale...

Whew.
Survivable. We're still in command...

[43] Like, in the strike zone? Yes, if you're hit by a pitch in the strike zone it's just a strike, not a HBP.

whew.

chances for geico runs are slim.

must. win.

[48] Right, ok. That one wasn't a strike, was it? But it seemed close enough to warrant asking. Plus (and I know this isn't enforced), there's also a rule about making an effort to get the fuck out of the way, isn't there?

Jazz checking in. They're facing Loup? Hope they 'loop' a few bloop singles! (rimshot!)

Booooo!

Please throw strikes.

[50] Yes, you aren't awarded a base if the umpire determines that you didn't try to avoid the pitch. (However, I have never seen that!)

get the out, man!

[54] i believe i actually did see that once! can't remember who it was though...

A terrific acquisition. I don't think we had anyone like him in our bullpen.

[56] Was it Dionnnner?

hmmm...

[54] I think I've seen it twice in my life. But I'm only on the 20th anniversary of my 30th birthday, so what do I know.

Ah, 4 out save.

More like Josh 'Singleman', eh?

A lefty that can't get a lefty out. How quaint.

[54] I don't think I've ever seen that either. Ever.

[58] i sure hope so! except, when it happened, he only had 3 N's in his name.

rich on the hill could've done that.

[60] i wanted to say twice too, but that could be the cold medicine talking. makes me really loopy.

c'mon hamma!

i do hope we keep the hamma. we should definitely sign him.

HAMMERED.

Now I feel much better.

Boo-yah!

Uncle Chuck on the black. Not too shabby.

nailed!

[66] Yeah. I wonder how much he'll cost.
In principle I don't think we should pay big bucks for relief pitchers (Sub-Mo-ly ones, I mean). But I'd be happy if D-Rob were on the team for the next five years.

Hey!

Chased it right the fuck out of there!

Yay!!

Headley!

that was a...

HEAD SHOT!!!

Wow! A triple!!!!

Ellsbury is fun to watch.

Now Jeter can double and Prado can single for the rare Consecutive Descending Cycle.

that was a really nice swing by rbj. and great hustle!

fuck yeah, man. let's get this run back, too!

[78] i love those.

but...can jeter really double?

Breathing room.

Excellent.
Maybe an unwise decision to come home, but success commands forgiveness.

What are they reviewing?

Me!!

those mutton chops are unfortunate.

nice running, rbj. but please don't be hurt!

Close.

Bullshit!

Really? I'm surprised, I thought he was safe.

he was safe. clearly. high throw by Valencia-witz, who i believe is a tribesmember. right, RI?

Yeah, definitely blocking the plate without the ball. So, bad call.

Ah, they're reviewing that too!

Oh God, a double challenge

[88] Yes. His mother's name is 'Mindy'. So that settles it.

FUCK!!!

no. bullshit.

challenge rue let! kinda silly...

Out??

Horseshit ab by Jeter in any case.

this is a bunch of bollocks.

i hope jacoby's shin/foot/ankle is fine...

dear david,

please give us a clean, quick, 1-2-3 inning.

thanks a bunch,
thelarmis j. younkin

Catcher's foot on the plate before he received the ball...clearly should have been safe by the "new" rule, no? Meanwhile, Jays announcers spent the rest of the inning pontificating about how bad/confusing/unfair/senseless the "new" rule is. I for one enjoy no more smash into the cathcer plays.

Good work, Cap.

That's two.

Pradone

[98] i'm way behind. just saw the first ball to reyes...
