Tesh is back.

Good.

All about C.C. Dude needs to be The Man.

Yankee offense should be able to score some against Joe Saunders, I don't care how well he pitched against Toronto.

Jeez, beautiful night for baseball, huh?

Good start.

There'll be lots of soft stuff from Saunders tonight.

Nice hit and GREAT play by Jones to save a run.

Let's go, Alex...

Missed the 0-1 pitch, damn.

Don't strike out, Alex.

So nice having Mark & Alex back.

Call me greedy, but I'm disappointed they only got one that inning.

Anyone know anything about the TORNADO somewhere in NYC?

[11] Agreed. I hate the O's in good times and in bad. But I gotta say, I like the Orange jerseys. Go figure. Sit down, Markakis!

ICHI THE THRILLER!!!

Did anyone see Jones pop a bubble right before he botched that catch?

Stop pitching to Mark Reynolds. Just plunk him every time.

Seriously???

I just turned on..is that a replay from th other night or did Reynolds homer AGAIN?

[12] What?!

Lew Ford.

Remember that name, boys and girls, LEW FUCKING FORD.

Hey, I wasn't going to show up here, but WTF???

Please put a stop to this bullshit right now.

This is not the 2nd inning I was looking for.

Lew Ford?? And now Wayne Tollenson's SON?!

This is interesting: http://jimkaat.mlblogs.com/2012/09/08/if-i-could-have-a-conversation-with-stephen-strasburg/

[12] Tornado inflicts damage on two New York City boroughs

Friend of mine was in the area. Apparently, not much damage done.

Tremendous start for Dice-K this evening. Through two innings he's only given up 5 to the Jays.

[25] Hmmmmmm........schadenfreude....

IT'S TAYLOR TEAGARDEN. Don't walk him.

[26] Ja!
Dice got four outs in the game. Aceves is pitching (I think Valentine is punishing him for something).

[28] Are they really just torturing Bobby V at this point, making him finish the season?

You gotta be kidding.

Ace Failure. This is infuriating.

[29] Nobody knows.

Last week when they were in Seattle, Ben Cherington showed up, and it was widely thought that he had come to fire BV or else to kick some player ass... but nothing much happened.

OH FER FUCK'S SAKE!

It's not really necessary to throw pitches in the strike zone when facing Adam Jones.

Lew Ford is completely infuriating.

I'll be in a fucking state if they don't pound Joe Saunders.

I just don't get it. The Orioles are playing way over their heads. They have a negative run differential, fer crissakes. They have to come back to earth eventually...don't they?

I could really give a shit less about their run differential.

Sauders with a shut down inning after his team takes the lead. Mo help me.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAND they've started to roll over.

What has anything the Orioles do have to do with how horribly the Yankees' are doing in pissing away their lead?

wow C.C. gave up the lead quickly, I'm still waiting for him to become the Ace and go on a roll.

I hope for his sake, the Yanks and the fans, we don't have to wait to long.

[40] Well, they're the team the Yanks are pissing the lead away to. So, that'd be what what they do has to do with it.

Well Happy 30 anny to Doonie Baseball's MLB debut.

And when this becomes about what the Orioles do, rather than what the Yankees don't, I'll be in 100% agreement ...

Meanwhile, George is rolling over in his grave ...

[44] Not exactly sure how to distinguish. Mark Reynolds hits lots of home runs. I would call that something the Orioles do. But, maybe not.

We're gonna lose the division because no one can hit Joe Saunders.

Jesus fucking Christ

2 run job for Swish here. C'mon for fuck's sake!

Or a harmless F8. grumblefuckinggrumblefuckinggrumble

Well, shit. That looked like it hurt.

Fuck.

Hope he isn't hurt badly.

I would have been pretty sure it hit his bat, if he hadn't left the game.

Phew ... I thought that was going MUCH further off the bat ...

Okay.

Here we go, four men reach this inning. Gotta happen.

Hey, Yankees. It's Joe effing Saudners on the mound!

Shit. Just missed that one, evidently.

Alex just missed it.

Okay, that's [54] two.

And now the mighty Martin strides to the plate.

Pinch run for Teix? His giddyup is still pretty gimpy.

Rain dealy in Boston where the BJs lead 5-0. If the game is played, Boston probably ends up in last place.

Jebus Pogo Jumping Teeny Tiny Christ ... Martin's approach at the plate pisses me the FUCK off ...

What a terrible fucking at bat by Martin.

Dear Russell,

FUCK.

YOU.

Sincerely,

Everyone

Yeesh.

Russell just isn't good at hitting.

What's more disturbing is how hopeless I personally felt when Curtis stepped to the plate.

[66] What's happened to Curtis? Automatic K these days..where's that Kevin Long magic?

Goddamn Fucking Orioles!! Damn, Ichiro almost nabbet that. Mad hops.

Yeah that was ALMOST an amazing catch

Binder time. Just wonderful, CC. FUCK!

[67] All I know is, he's terrible. (And he must be costing himself tens of millions of dollars, huh?)

Lou Ford and Joe Saunders. They're both just too good.

It seems like ages since we got a CC W.

This is fucking pathetic.

Have to commend the Orioles. They way they have been able to revive Sandy Koufax is remarkable.

I won't boo but I feel like it. What a stinker.

[75] Jim Palmer, don't you think?

[77] Didn't he pitch the other night?

Bullfuck. Ball 4.

Alex is fired up.

Atta boy, Russell. Let's go Curtis! FFS.

Pop up to the catcher. Worthless.

Jesus.... Grandy is useless these days.

I'm not going to miss this version of Curtis.

This may be old news but:
The Yankees activated Ivan Nova from the disabled list and relegated the right-hander to the bullpen.

Andy Pettitte moved closer to returning to the New York Yankees' rotation after throwing a successful simulated game Saturday.
Pettitte threw 45 pitches in three simulated innings and is scheduled to see doctors Monday to evaluate his fibula.

After throwing a bullpen session, Pettitte (3-3, 3.22 ERA) expects to throw another simulated game between Tuesday and Thursday in Boston.

The 40-year-old Pettitte could throw 60 pitches, and manager Joe Girardi would not rule out that the left-hander could pitch five days later, meaning he possibly could be on a mound at some point during the week of Sept. 17.

Good start Ichi.

Heere we go! Keep the line moving!

Whoo-hoo Captain. That was a beaut.

Six hits away from Willie

Jeter for the bunt!

IN THE AIR MARK

How was that even close at first? Yikes.

Not the worst outcome.

MotherFUCKER!!!!!

Dammit!

Now after the replay I want to punch many things.

He was so safe!

Wow. Not even close.

Human Element.
Sigh...

I couldn't see. Was Teix definitely safe at first?
