"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

Strike Up the Band

 

We want big, fat, juicy runs, and a lot of them. We also want quick and easy outs from AJ by the handful.

Time for the Score Truck to make a showing.

That is what we want. What we need is to root-root-root for the home team.

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Well, that's an inauspicious beginning.

2 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 30, 2011 4:21 pm

Yeah, not a great start for Curtis. Nice day out there. Crisp and cool but nice to see the sun.

3 rbj   ~  Apr 30, 2011 4:21 pm

Gee, I remember when Kyle's dad came up. Young whippersnappers.

4 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 30, 2011 4:22 pm

Wow, that sun must be really be bad in CF

5 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 30, 2011 4:23 pm

[2] See [4]

6 thelarmis   ~  Apr 30, 2011 4:28 pm

[0] i'll be striking up the band in a matter of hours...

7 OldYanksFan   ~  Apr 30, 2011 4:32 pm

Jesus... Jeter has no range at all.

8 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 30, 2011 4:35 pm

I never understood the point of a running count anyway

9 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 30, 2011 4:44 pm

Russell!

10 Marek   ~  Apr 30, 2011 4:46 pm

Gameday had those called strikes pretty far outside.

11 Marek   ~  Apr 30, 2011 4:46 pm

That should have been ball 4 to Gardner. Guess he's going to have to earn it.

12 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 30, 2011 4:47 pm

Good job, Slappy!

Now, c'mon Jeter ... something out of the infield, please?

13 OldYanksFan   ~  Apr 30, 2011 4:48 pm

Take 6 pitches please.

14 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 30, 2011 4:48 pm

[12] slow roller up the third base line probably scores a run

15 thelarmis   ~  Apr 30, 2011 4:49 pm

here comes an inning ending dp... : /

16 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 30, 2011 4:50 pm

Alright. That'll do.

17 thelarmis   ~  Apr 30, 2011 4:50 pm

wow. he got it in the air.

impressive.

18 OldYanksFan   ~  Apr 30, 2011 4:51 pm

My God! Jeter hit that ball more then 250′.Fantastic.

19 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 30, 2011 4:51 pm

EVEN BETTER!

GRANDYMAN!

20 Marek   ~  Apr 30, 2011 4:52 pm

(15) That's what I expected too. I couldn't watch, so checked email instead.

21 thelarmis   ~  Apr 30, 2011 4:52 pm

curtis!

22 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 30, 2011 4:53 pm

[20] Negative nellies. '

I expected the strikeout.

23 Marek   ~  Apr 30, 2011 4:53 pm

Wow, I hate to complain about balls and strikes but geez. Is AJ getting this strike zone?

24 rbj   ~  Apr 30, 2011 5:02 pm

This isn't good.

25 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 30, 2011 5:05 pm

Deep.

26 rbj   ~  Apr 30, 2011 5:12 pm

Alright, get that run back.

27 thelarmis   ~  Apr 30, 2011 5:15 pm

[20] thanks for the idea. just checked my email and got my 3rd tour offer of the weekend! this would be the only US one. not sure i'm gonna take any of the 3...

28 thelarmis   ~  Apr 30, 2011 5:22 pm

jeter with another 1-out bases loaded chance to hit a grand slam dp to end the frame...

29 rbj   ~  Apr 30, 2011 5:28 pm

Grrr.

30 Matt Blankman   ~  Apr 30, 2011 5:36 pm

Hey, a bunch of runs via hits and walks! It's nice to see them score 5 without a longball. Now, if they want to hit a few dingers to ice it, I'd be fine with that.

31 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 30, 2011 5:44 pm

Hmmm. I though we ordered the Score Truck, not the Run Van ...

32 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 30, 2011 5:49 pm

YAY-J!!!

33 rbj   ~  Apr 30, 2011 6:06 pm

Oh yeah!

34 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 30, 2011 6:07 pm

Martin-ized him.

35 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 30, 2011 6:18 pm

Oh boy, it's Joba time ... wonder which version will show up today ...

36 rbj   ~  Apr 30, 2011 6:20 pm

Gee, I was adding walks and hits pouring over the Sunday stats in the 1970s.

37 rbj   ~  Apr 30, 2011 6:38 pm

Phew.

Little insurance here guys.

38 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 30, 2011 6:42 pm

Chavez is such a good hitter, just to get his bat on that 1-2.

39 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 30, 2011 6:43 pm

And then nice and easy, up the middle.
This fucking guy has a clue up at the plate.

40 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 30, 2011 6:45 pm

Well, at least Jorge hit it hard ...

41 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 30, 2011 6:53 pm

Git him MO!

42 rbj   ~  Apr 30, 2011 6:57 pm

Mo.

43 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 30, 2011 7:27 pm

YES!

44 thelarmis   ~  Apr 30, 2011 7:33 pm

[43] let's prolong next tuesday until Mo retires, which, of course, is never.

that way the blog stays as is - yay!!! ; )

45 thelarmis   ~  Apr 30, 2011 7:34 pm

shit sox just squandered a bases loaded opportunity in the bottom of the foist.

i hope they never score a run again!

46 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 30, 2011 8:14 pm

[45] Hey, I got that game on tv here. M's got shafted on a bad call at first earlier.

I'm looking forward to the new site! Am expecting a separate section just for music geek chat.

47 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 30, 2011 8:23 pm

84 pitches in 4 innings for John Lackey, only 1 ER though. Let's go Mariners!!
