Going to first game of the year tomorrow night. Very excited

Sweet. Joe Mauer and co.

I feel like I've seen the Twins a million times recently, but according to my trusty scorebook, this will be four times (including a playoff game) since the 2010 season, and nothing before that going back to 2006.

I have seen Baltimore 70000000 times in those six years though. That's not an official count, but its probably close.

[3] You get to see Carl Pavano in person! フレーーーー！(Hoorayyyyy!)

Let's go NOVA!

[4] Just saw that. I'm actually giddy

That didn't go so well

Dang. 3 bagger.

These ESPN people are annoying.

Good work, Nova.

Ice cold!

Nice pitch

Nice job, Nova.

Sounds like there is some energy in the stadium tonight.

Have the Yankees ever seen Williams?

[9] Francona brought some great insight though. "If your leadoff hitter has a high .OBP then he's going to score some runs". Enlightening!

Get the feeling the Yankees are going to be completely shut down by frigging Jerome Williams of all people tonight?

Nicely played, Curtis.

[16] God, I know! I couldn't believe he actually said that.
Also, he didn't even say he's going to score some runs, just that that way he can be in a position to score some runs! Or something.

I love me some Nova! Sit down, Abreu!

[19] To be completely fair, this is probably breaking news to someone like Dusty Baker.

[19] Hey, see Tebow and Dwayne Wade talking there?

"Hey Tim, you check out the new Biggie remix up on the Source.com?"
"Yeah Dwayne, it's in the queuu on my iPod right after Kathie Lee Gifford's Christian Classics comp."

ESPN..

Spoke too soon. Shit.

I hate the Halos.

Hey ESPN guys..can you just get on your knees abd finising blowing Scioscia before the Yanks come up to bat next inning? I don't think I can take this for 7 more innings..

O.K. Limited damage.

Nice story in the NYT today regarding Williams. He was lost, overweight and washed up in MLB. Playing in Taiwan and the work ethic there was his inspiration to rebound.

Nova holds it together...

Very nice hitting.

Is Joyce miked up tonight?
Raul!

Man, what a well-turned double play. Great job by Howie Kendrick to make a good throw.

The Buckler!

Wow.

Reggie and Albert the Great..that's some serious tater power.

Albert is overdue.

And Nova had no "rules".

Impressive job by Novalicious.

Man, Game of Thrones and Mad Men trumps tonight's game for the wife and I.
Keep mowing 'em down, Ivan. And get some 2 outs hits fro cripe's sake!

Jetes!

Honestly, I thought Don Newcombe was dead.

[37] Live baseball vs. taped series?

Nova dealing, like a Chevy salesman.

Ol' Man Derek looking good this year.

Yay!

A-rod!

hey team : )

[42] You're #42!!

Hey, it seems like Cano is BBing more this season so far..that's a great sign.

TEX!!!

Wow. This game is looking fun. Too bad I have to schlep to the salt mines. Maybe I'll catch Mo at the office.

BTW, Jazz, fucking Apple is forcing me to upgrade my OS if I want to watch MLB At Bat on my iPhone. So I can't watch games in route for awhile. Bummer.

More yay!

YES

[43] holy crap, that RULES!!! : )

Pour it on, 42's.

Williams now has an ERA of 15.43

That'll do.

i'll take another run!

[50] i remember him when he came into the league with the giants. he's just what the doctor ordered for us tonight!

[50] Make that 16.88 :-)

Hey, who's number 42 on the Angels?

(sorry)

[43] Going into tonight, he was on pace to walk 60 times, a career high (previous high was 57 when he should have won the MVP in 2010)

And nice job by Swish to get that extra run in, too.

Let's go Jackies (and Mo)!

[45] But why? I got the AtBat on my phone with no problems..that sucks.

JESUS CHRIST NO SIX MAN ROTATION

Nicely turned, Teix.

nice dp!

nova's a big dude.

[60] Noesi with the great start yesterday..and a Jesus homer. Made me sad.

Teix always beautiful with the glove.

That wasn't such a great throw.
It was adequate but not so impressive as all that.

Major league baseball players make things look so easy.
Nice little catch, Brett.

[65] I counter with Wilson Betemit, who never made anything seem easy.

Nice AB for Dino (new nickname for martin).

not taking away anything from jackie robinson, i always wish that larry doby would get waaaay more attention and credit than he does.

[68] Honestly, I always thought the Yankees should honor Elston Howard on this day.

[68] Agree. Second guy always gets a bit forgotten.

2 good ab's to start the 4th

Beautiful at bat by Gardner.

[69] that would be cool.

[70] first black in the junior circuit.

on a playing surface, as far as seconds go...tim raines - 2nd greatest leadoff hitter, best in senior circuit. he best make it into the hall...

[68] Tougher to be the first of color in Cleveland than in Brooklyn.

C'mon Mo, more runs please.

matt kemp has 6 homers already. he wasn't kiddin' about gunnin' for 50-50!

I really, really hope Derek does this all year

JETERIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check out this Derek Jeter guy!

Happy Jackie Day, Jetes!

Yay!
Now, double digits.

Holy cow. It's the Jeter of old.

Makes you wonder what all those pitches Takahashi shook off. :)

[81] I would love that.

Did anyone know this?
About Derek tipping his cap to the opposing manager?

that was a nice hook.

dude's leg hitch is almost as annoying as this ump's horrific strike call.

[73] Raines will make it. His stats are just overwhelming.

Is it me or does that near-collision-confusion between shortstops and leftfielders happen a lot to visiting teams in the Bronx?

well, this sucks.

oh, how i hate the leadoff walk...

Cripes, Ianetta fisted that one out.

Cheapy HR, no worries. Nova's looking nasty tonight.

crap. carp, even.

very nice.

1 more

Nova gets a LOT of backwards K's.

Fucking awesome.

sit down and grab some pine.

That was good stuff from Hershiser there about moving the infielders depending on the pitch.

8 k's thru 5 for Boss(a) Nova!

good job Tex.

let's get those 2 runs back!

[98] But that would mean...
DOUBLE DIGITS!

Can they do it?

Did Teixeira just steal a base?
