Every time CC pitches, I wonder if he's done. It's a constant mystery. To me, he's the #5 starter behind Tanaka, Pineda, Warren and What happens when Nova returns?
[35] me likey! while i love thai food, i much prefer hot blonde women. there were a couple on that field, but i just can't stomach the soccer. esp when the yanks are on. i'm back to the yanks...
Can I just announce now, that with all the BS the Yankees organization had put Brett Gardner through, that he has been nothing but a great ball player. A true Yankee. Here's to Brett!
[47] shitty ump punched out tex and headley on pitches that were clearly low. cc got squeezed a coupla times last inning, esp the pitch before the double play.
when walking off the mound, cc asked the ump if it was down, or what. then, cc went ballistic. said, "it wasn't down. it wasn't fucking down. horseshit!"
[58] didn't mean it as a definition equal. just that it's as common as everyday words. that said, you should definitely use it when you speak at oxford.
i've spoken in oxford as well. in a music venue. most likely backstage whilst warming up on a drum pad.
[64] You're only supposed to mention his range™ when he does something bad. In my game, anyway. I have to admit that I'm warming up to him -- he made a couple of brilliant plays in the last couple games and he doesn't suck (as much) at the plate.
[62] i dated a british babe. she spoke pretty "posh." (poshly?!) anytime she said weird or alternate words, i'd call her out. she had the perfect response:
her: what are you?
me: american.
her: what am i?
me: incredibly gorgeous. oh...english.
her: what language do you speak?
me: ...
49) I can appreciate that. I was using it the way the Brits do. Plus, my wife uses it freely so I hear it all the time, lol. Oddly enough, I never really think to use it as a putdown to a woman. Or certainly not specific to women.
Sorry to join the party late. My own double header (softball).we swept and eked our way into the playoffs. Then the wife had some honey do's. Scanned the Banter and it's an "interesting" melange.
Thanks everyone for the entertaining game thread, hope to watch it this evening.
British English: Brits seem to make it a right of passage to shock us Yanks with their language. My first week there I twice got the old 'Fancy some spotted dick and a fag on the balcony?'
Trout will do that to ya.
D'oh!
So will Pujols.
Goddamn it, CC! Fuck!
I thought batting practice was over. Guess not.
CC is being hit hard.
Glad I'm missing the top of the foist. I was gonna say, maybe CC will settle in but it sounds like he's cooked...
Every time CC pitches, I wonder if he's done. It's a constant mystery. To me, he's the #5 starter behind Tanaka, Pineda, Warren and What happens when Nova returns?
Discuss.
Autocorrect lost #4 Eovaldi.
Wheeeeeeeeeeeee......
Hahahaha. That's good Angels baseball. Suck it, scioscia. You miserable whiner!
Ha!
Atta boy, kid. Just missed it. Rats!
Gosh, I hate Didi's swing.
One back.
Having said that, good job getting the run home, man.
[14] He does have a bush league swing.
But, great range™.
Moreno & Scioscia are both assholes, whining about Hamilton.
Yoiks. Battling the sun, indeed.
fuck you, blue!
i turned it on during Tex's at-bat. i wonder why my buddy played "inna gadda da vida" on the organ during the A-B...
2500 Ks!
2,500 K's for CC.
9th lefty to amass that amount.
so, the big fella has settled down...
[21] Probably to demonstrate his great range.
Thelarmis, you might want to take a quick look at the Women's World Cup match going on right now. You would enjoy the Norwegian team.
C.Y. for the tie!!
Tied up!
[26] channel?! mmm, Scandinavian women...
It's on Fox. Appropriately enough.
Lots of blonde ponytails.
YES!!!
fuck yeah, Gritner!!!
Wow, Gritner!
[30] I'm on it. I mean, I can get behind that.
that was low, blue.
bad call on tex and chase.
[33] Shiksa smorgasbord.
look at that range!
...and failure of a throw.
[35] me likey! while i love thai food, i much prefer hot blonde women. there were a couple on that field, but i just can't stomach the soccer. esp when the yanks are on. i'm back to the yanks...
[36] Still, you have to admit.
dp now. thank you, please!
[35] There used to be women here...
Can I just announce now, that with all the BS the Yankees organization had put Brett Gardner through, that he has been nothing but a great ball player. A true Yankee. Here's to Brett!
Double Play!
fuck. CC and GI Joe are out.
"horseshit!"
blue's strikes really are bollocks.
This is good
The ump is a fat cunt. He's been calling that pitch a strike all day and now he squeezes CC twice this inning.
Never seen C.C. this pissed. Don't blame him though.
CC is pissed! The big man kinda bumped the ump. That's gotta be scary. So he and Joe are out of the game?
I think CC was done anyway, right? He decided to go out with a bang.
great game for cc. 87 pitches thru 6. still, i think girardi sends him out to start the 7th.
I'm at the Stadium. Why did they run CC?
"it's not fucking down."
that's what did it.
[43] There used to be women here. To some, the "C" word is equal to the "N" word.
[47] He was really pissed about not getting the low strike, esp. because Wilson was obviously getting that call.
Also, douchebag ump.
[47] Girardi gone too.

the ump sucks balls.
Granted the "c" word can be offensive but sometimes it's the only appropriate way to describe an ex-girlfriend.
[45] yup. Might as well get your money's worth. Not a bad outing for Big Bird. Bases empty homers to Trout and Pujols is fine.
[49] i hate the "c" word. in the UK, it's equivalent to "hello," or "buddy."
So now it's Wilson v. Wilson.
today is Thurman's birthday. let's win one for the Captain, my first idol!
Happy Birthday, Thurman Lee Munson! You are forever loved and dearly missed...
[55] Is that right? Interesting dialectic difference. I'll have to remember that when I'm speaking at Oxford.
me no likey leadoff walks.
A second nice pivot from Didi.
diggin' the DPs!
i like Pirela. he's not Robbie "smooth," however.
[55] and fanny has a whole nuther meaning. And in the Carolinas shag is a dance, but in England...
Or, I guess it's not really a 'pivot' when it's 4-5-3. Whatever you call it.
[60] byproduct of the range factor.
[58] didn't mean it as a definition equal. just that it's as common as everyday words. that said, you should definitely use it when you speak at oxford.
i've spoken in oxford as well. in a music venue. most likely backstage whilst warming up on a drum pad.
Clap clap clap, nice job, D.

[65] 'Whilst'! Nice.
congrats, pirela!!!
look at that smile!!! : )
[62] i dated a british babe. she spoke pretty "posh." (poshly?!) anytime she said weird or alternate words, i'd call her out. she had the perfect response:
her: what are you?
me: american.
her: what am i?

me: ...
well played, princess!
This Pirela always looked like a hitter! Congrats, many more to come.
[68] Dang, missed it, had to do a little weeding in my veggie garden.
whoa! careful, dude.
[71] it looked and sounded good. landed in the bullpen, so he has the ball. still smiling too!
[71] i wonder what "weeding in my veggie garden" means to the British! ; )
That's good. Baseball should make people happy, including the players.
[74] Shaving down there?
that was a strike!
That was fun.
A "Betances-like inning."
[76] nice.
What a nasty strike three Dellin threw to Trout. I think the argument and tosses helped get that call.
Mr. OBP!
way to work a walk.
Nice to see Dellin back to his usual self.
Arod not rung up on the low pitch that's been called a strike all day.
49) I can appreciate that. I was using it the way the Brits do. Plus, my wife uses it freely so I hear it all the time, lol. Oddly enough, I never really think to use it as a putdown to a woman. Or certainly not specific to women.
alright drew - make this 8-2 going into the 9th. keep the theme up!
Speakin bout Brits, was that Richard Branson siting behind home plate?
[84] your wife sounds nasty in a good way lol. Round my house we like to use the slang word for cat.
Sorry to join the party late. My own double header (softball).we swept and eked our way into the playoffs. Then the wife had some honey do's. Scanned the Banter and it's an "interesting" melange.
One down
freese frame!
Two down
freese froze!
frose him!
freese in the frieze!
ok, i'll stop now...
one strike away from the brooms!
SWEEP!
Three down!
Another A+ Miller inning.
Great game!
Broom time. 3 ks. CC wins. 6 in a row!
that was a *beautiful* breaking ball to end the game.
great frame from andrew!
AMill better than DRob! Is two sweeps, sweepes?
I mean sweepses
Thanks everyone for the entertaining game thread, hope to watch it this evening.
