How about Cashman's testimony against Clemens today?

Cash seemed much more damaging than Andy.

Clemens wanted McNamee after he lost in 1999 at Fenway, to come to the Yankees to "Push his buttons." Hmm.....

And he was hired essentially as Clemens personal trainer.

I like Nunez, but DAMN!!!!!

Quick look at mlb.com TV, saw a NunEEEEz error..think I will listen to jazz on the work commute rather than watch this.

JoeyJoeJoe, please end the Eduardo Era. Think of the Children!!!

Oof. Teix got the pitch he wanted, but he didn't do with it what he wanted to do with it.

Man, he kills us out there.

No longer funny, just inexcusable. NunE5, damn

Indians 3, Beckett 0, after 1 1/2.

Let's see.
They get 2 out hits.
We don't.
I wonder how this game turns out.

[4] Yes. Teix wanted to hit it to China. Simply stroking a pitch won't do.

[8] Are two-out hits more important than one-out and no-out hits?

[9] I know, it's a moral failing.

Rally Killer!

[10] Yes. Sometimes, like that inning, you don't have RISP until 2 outs.

[13] Hm, and sometimes you have no RISP at all. I don't think that shows much.

I'm pretty sure they're equally valuable.

Well... Nunez gets one back.

Like I said... you don't always have RISP until there are 2 outa.

[16] You don't always have them when there are two outs, either. As I said.

Dang. Bad luck there.

Man, the Indians are beating the tar out of Beckett.
He started off looking so strong, too.

Beckett gives up 7 ER in 2.1 IP. Indians up 7-1.

Beckett is gone. (See his line above. ERA at 5.97)

[21] Well, it is an even-numbered year. Ever since he came to Boston:

2006: 5.01 ERA
2007: 3.27 ERA
2008: 4.03 ERA
2009: 3.86 ERA
2010: 5.78 ERA
2011: 2.89 ERA
2012: currently 5.97 ERA

Its like Bret Saberhagen without the injuries. Coincidentally, Saberhagen also suffered in even-numbered years, at least until he left KC.

Not worried. That single came with just one out.

Or no outs! Hah, it's nothing.

Sigh.

2 Out RISP fail.

Wow, that was a BOMB.

There's Robbie.

Alex is hitting some lasers lately.

Damn.

Nice at bats and swings for Alex tonight.

C'mon Mark, join the party now.

I'd let him swing...

Never mind...just stay out of the DP, boys. Need to score at least one more here.

Shit.

Coming home to see Cano's blast and Alex's laser, plus the Boston score, is almost enough the erase the pain of seeing my team lose earlier 31-5 (with @ 17 errors). Almost.
Save the Bones!

What's with all these funky slides into second today?

But way to go, Andruw.

frozen ropes all night...

[35] Oof. And no one wants to hear about character building.

I missed the fireworks. If Robbie is back this team can go so much farther!

[35] SEVENTEEN errors? Ouch..

Big Fella!

I had to listen to the radio for about twenty minutes (driving). When Andruw belted one to the corner, Sterling went into his "It is high, it is far... it is... a base hit!"

Pony homer. Sox close to 7-3...

C.C must get Upton here.

The slider. Nasty. Good job big guy.

[41] I think its time for old Silverpipes to retire when this season is done. We all lose our fastball eventually - except MO of course - and I think Sterling is there. The end of the Yanks' contract with WCBS is the perfect time and excuse, too.

CC screams striking out Upton. The big man, ladies and gents. NO EARNED RUNS TONIGHT.

[44] The big guy is really something, isn't he? As much as the Montero trade still hurts, I can't fault Cashman for trying to get a right handed CC to go with the actual article.

[45] But think how nice those silverpipes will sound in FM stereo.

Now what? Can Soriano and Robertson pitch three days straight?

Surprised that CC is still in the game. Good thing Nix replaced NunEE at third for those last two plays.

Can we have CC as his own Mo?

I'm still not used to this.

Great job by C.C.

[50] Yeah, just thinking that. And [49] I doubt D-Rob can go. Just Soriano, I assume.
And [46] yeah I forgot, the runs were both unearned! Dang.

Let the wild rumpus begin!

[45] With E@#$ moving to FM in NY (and taking out one of my favorite stations in the process, grrr), the likelihood of Sterling making the transition is less than half in my opinion. WCBS's radio rights run out at the end of this season if I'm right, and E@#$ is in a great position to sneak in and take those rights, offering a much stronger signal and wider market. I don't see them inviting either Sterling or Suzyn over unless it's for nostalgia's sake or to carry over the fan base and gradually phase them out. However, I have no clue who replaces them (unless they tie into the YES feed; probably not)...

Let's see how Soriano performs back in the place he wants to be.

[54] :)
[55] "Oh My Gawd, Jahn, we're going to FM! Where's my good-luck ankle bracelet?"

Not going to be fun.

[55] Oops, way to straight-faced and lucid of me, my apologies...

[59] Hardly recognized you.

How about that?

Dat's it.
Good win. Great outing for CC, and some hard hitting by our line-up.

[55] Apocalyptic nightmare scenario: Jim Rome & Colin Cowherd. Now, that won't happen, so whoever it is, it's automatically better.

Yankees win!

[57] I'm just trying to imagine how raucous she'll sound on Sunday.

Sori did ok. The run wasn't his doing. I do miss everything Mo especially the broken bats, but nice win. Great game from CC.

Vinnie Pestano pitching for Cleveland in the eighth. Four run lead. He's walked three Red Sox. Incredible. Two outs, and three walks. With a four run lead. In the eighth inning.

Wow, Pony pops out to end the threat. I thought Pestano was going to walk him.

[64]I will try to avoid that at all costs.
[63] Heard Colin Cowherd once. Lasted about 2 minutes. Was excruciating.

Yanks win!!! 2 of 3 against the mighty Rays, well done!

[68] He is the chalk on the chalkboard the way Lupica is the needle dragging across a vinyl record.

[69] Cowherd>Lupica in annoyance scale.

[68} And you think Kay on bad on TV? Having your house egged every night for a week is a step up.

[71] I was unaware of the radio situation. Thanks for the info. I recall hearing Steinbrenner being on the record for wanting Sterling for as long as he was in charge. He liked him that much. Just can't recall where I heard/read it. I find the possibility of you know who having the rights to Yankee radio a bit disturbing.

[71] Kay had his house egged? Sorry, I don't get that one.. :)
If Kay uses the phrase "God Fearing Man" one more time when talking about Andy P and his return I'm going to faint..

Sox lose...again.

[73] No, listening to Kay on E@#$ is like having your house egged... every day for a week... but worse.

They Shoulda swept 'em!

Gardner is out another 15-25 days says Girardi, call it a month. Good time for Cano to start hitting because not having Gardner really hurts their line up, never mind the OF defense.

[75] Ah, I hear ya. Bit slow here on a Friday morning.
[77] Not...good...
