Yes, indeed it is.

LoHud is reporting CC to the DL. Oh, noes!!!

Goldbricker? I prefer "teacher enjoying his well-deserved summer vacation." Get it right next time.

[1] Looks like CC's only going to miss two starts, which isn't bad, and it doesn't sound like anyone's overly concerned about this.

[3] Man, I hope that's right. I remember similar assurances about Gardner.

Probably the time off will be good for him. I almost wish Jeter would get a minor injury like last year and take a week or two off before the break ... and before he dips under .300.

Keep your goldbrickin' ass out of my beach community, Lebowski

I hope it's minor and 15 days of rest heals it.

Andy!

Why is it a goldbricker's delight? Maybe Alex meant "golden god".

Dang!

Teixeira would have taken A-Rod's throw with his foot on the bag.

That's our Andy.

i'm definitely NOT a goldbricker - i teach year round! including tonight. i finish up prep classes and final evaluations on auditions later tonight. new quarter begins next week and my private lessons are always in season.

yeah, let's hope CC is fine! sounds like he should be...

we should also be beating the crap out of Ubaldo. another very unfortunate name. ubaldo & asdubul as teammates. ouch!

and, of course, the shit sox are racking up the runs in the bottom of the 1st at that crappy bandbox in boston. feh.

[11] The Red Sox are almost irrelevant now. I mean, they could win 20 in a row and still be behind us.

Happy Eric Chavez Day!

Oh no.

Dear Andy,

Please don't do that again.

Thanks,
Me

Kotchman is a bastard for that. Dammit.

oh fuck. first CC, now Andy.

today sucks.

Oh no, just getting back, what happened to Andy?

Fuck.

Took a sharp line drive off his left shin or ankle.

That kid at third sucks.

Oh, lord. This is too much responsibility (and fun) for Joe. I don't think I can stand to watch this game.

This really is disturbing. It want from a beautiful day, an opportunity to watch the Yankees while working (to me, gold bricking would be sneaking out TO the ballpark) but now a potential season altering moment. The two best pitchers on the staff go down on the same day? Chilling.

and there goes the lead...

Horrible to hear about Andy.

Big strikeout there, but it didn't look easy for Garcia. The score truck must now turn on the turbocharges and the offense needs to win this in honor of Andy.

OK. I now hate everything about the Clevelanders. That stupid racist patch on the uniform. Ublado is a deeck, even seeing Shelly Duncan forced to play with them, and more. ARGHHH.

will Aaron Small please pick up the white courtesy phone?

Yay, Rob!

Robbie!

Cano changes the mood! He just flicked that ball to the opposite field stands. All arms.

dontcha know!

Hammered.

Fracture. Minimum of six weeks.

SHIT.

I hate you, Casey Kotchman.

a few last thoughts on the Wise non-catch last night:

- hard to believe the ump didn't ask to see the ball.

- also hard to believe that no other ump saw the guy in the red shirt holding the ball up and reverse the call.

- everyone's saying Wise closed his glove and jogged toward the dugout. not entirely true. very soon into his trot, he punched the inside webbing of his glove. no one would do that if there was a ball in the pocket.

Kay just announced, Fractured ankle for Pettitte. Minimum out 6 weeks, probably 2 months.

Let's sign Jamie Moyer!

[37] WHAT?!?!?!

omg, you're kidding. no fucking way. i thought it would be nothing and he wouldn't even miss a start. oh fuck.

what are the chances he comes back yet again and pitches this brilliantly???

: (

Holy fuck.

Fucking goddamn motherfucking fuck.

Fuck.

Shit shit shit!

Teixeira kicked it into overdrive there, huh?

well, if Andy comes back and pitches well in Sept and throughout the playoffs, maybe he'll be rested enough to come back again next season and pitch with Mo!

[43] Shoot, I wish I had let you have #42 for that one.

And a fucking freak accident, too.

Not even something age-related.

So frustrating.

[44] we'll take care of that at our next kangajoo meeting.

please get out of this situation untucked.

[47] I'm ready to be tucked into bed after this day.

Whew, needed that K.

Fuck.

I WANT MO.

It's come to this. We need something positive here.

Pfew.

Now what the fuck do we do without Andy?

Exhale.

[53] Jamie Moyer. It's time.

LOL Soriano almost untucked his entire uniform.

Nice win under the circumstances. Hughes, Nova, Kuroda, and now Freddy have to keep it going.

untucked!

[55] You really think Jamie Moyer can pitch in the AL East? That would be senior abuse.

I think the Yanks should look around, realize this is a good year to win the World Series since there aren't a ton of scary teams and go all in for a Hamels or a Grienke with the intention of signing the guy long term as well.

[58] I want someone older than Bryce Harper's dad.

[59] I could see that, although not Greinke because he has Applephobia or some kind of psychological disorder like that.

But not Garza. I wouldn't give up anyone for Garza.

[61] moving to recap thread...
