Yanks host the dreaded Angels this weekend. It will be fun watching Mr. Trout. The rest of ’em can go to hell.
Two-out-of-three, two-out-of-three, two-out-of-three.
It’s Hiroki vs. the happy-go-lucky C.J. Wilson.
Derek Jeter SS
Curtis Granderson CF
Alex Rodriguez 3B
Mark Teixeira 1B
Robinson Cano 2B
Nick Swisher RF
Andruw Jones LF
Russell Martin C
Jayson Nix DH
Never mind the layoff:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
p.s. According to Marc Carig: “OF Kosuke Fukudome signed to a minor league contract. He is anticipated to report to Triple-A SWB over the weekend.”

Yankees Baseball!!!
fuk-you-do-me at the fuk-you-dome!
man, i'm not starting off the 2nd half of the season well. 1st comment and i'm already in moderation, haha! let's just say i was having fun with the Kosuke Fukudome signing : )
anyway...
GO YANKEES!!!
oh wow. i'm having an awful start to the 2nd half. that's TWO comments already in moderation!
this Kosuke signing is terrible for my commenting. i was just trying to have a little fun with his name. oh well...
GO YANKS!!!
Go YANKS!
It's only been a few days but really, it's nice to have games again.
Holy Jonesing! My folks were in Florida a few years back on vacation. The first story my dad told my when they came back had him laughing all over again. My mom saw a dude in a jersey and said she couldn't believe someone would wear something so offensive. My dad had to tell her he played for the Cubs. Fuckudome, indeed. Ha!
Yay, baseball!
Good punch out. Sit down, Albert!
Teix better on D then Tino, yes?
Nice quick inning.
Trout took the bait and got the hook there.
Don't think. Hit!
[8] That lay out by Teix was none too shabby. : )
Good thing bases were empty.
Any one else having problems with MLB? I'm getting a "This Game Will Begin Shortly" message.
great, we're being no-hit and boston is already shutting out tampon.
c'mon cap, get #3,200!
Atta boy, Teix!
ah, MUCH better!!! : )
congrats, jete!
It's back.
Jonesy! Never seen him argue like that.
Trout chose poorly.
A combined $400+ million of failure there.
I'm a big ARod fan, but the guy looks like shit. Really Bad.
HBP. Ungood. : (
Ugh.
Not getting Curtis in after a gift lead off triple looms large now.
Karmic return on not scoring with a man on 3rd, no outs, and our 3-4-5 up. And we have done this MANY times. I'm not sure how a team with the best record in MLB can suck this much. Or is it I'm not sure how a team that sucks this much can have the best record in MLB.
Oh, hey. I missed the lead off triple and 3 sad outs. Give me a fucking break!
[25] How true. You can't blame Kuroda for giving up the lead. No excuse that Tex or Arod (oh Arod) could not put a fly ball up, or at least a grounder to second. At least Robinson hit the ball hard.
Pitching, and a lot of luck has this team 7 games in front, plus every other AL east team has gaping holes this year.
I hate the Angels (but their players are more likable this year). Fuggin Yankee killers, and it seems the Yankees always start the second half against them. Hopefully the Yanks can come back tonight.
Second verse. Same as the first.
Sigh.
Thanks Laz...
Fucking angels!
Even if Swish caught that, Trout would have scored. It has to stop now.
Great catch by Swish and nice second half start for Jetes.
Hell yeah!
Yes!
How great is that! Yay Tex!
Ok, now that the game is tied, just another run, please (it doesn't have to be a bomb).
Imagine having gotten Curtis in. Sorry, I realize that you can't predict baseball and things would be different, but damn, lead off triples should get home. I hate when they don't
That's what I'm talking about!
Russell Martin! Could be the biggest hit of his few this year!
Russell with the Muscle!
And now it's Mo time! Oh, wait. . .
I hate this.
Man... watching this team is like having your child being a genius but coming home with all B's on their report card. Should you be proud or disappointed?
Damn! Nearly spun himself in the ground swinging at strike 3.
[42] Wow, and you said that at comment #42. Brings a tear to my eye.
But you know his recovery is going extremely well, right?
One down.
[43] Wait, why is being the best team in baseball like getting all B's? Did the valedictorian in your school get all B's?
[43] If your he or she aces the finals and the college boards, isn't that enough?
[47] (Are those the playoffs and WS? I'm having trouble with this metaphor.)
Yes, and sorry, I have a 17 year old.
[46] The Yanks have a lot of A's, but their RISP drags their average to a B. This man-on-third, no out, and not scoring thing is getting old. Teix turning back into a monster helps offset that, but in the PS, we may not get away with squandering SO MANY EASY opportunities.
That's good Scioscia baseball!
Great Win. Martin the 2nd half MVP. : )
Huge win! The kind of game that the Angels usually win against the Yanks.
But.............
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark Teixiera WinsTheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Yankees Win
[50] Baseball is hard. The Yankees aren't perfect; they're only the best.
Nice.
Excellent game for Russell! And Teix.
Anyone else more worried about the Sox than TB?
I like how Jeter blocked the base there. Nice to foil the Angel's aggressive base running by ending the game.
