Let's Go C.C.!

there goes the no hitter...

Oof.

ugh.

OK, no damage.

oh, good!

25 pitches that inning.

something tells me CC's gonna be out there again super quick...

Wow.
Okay, let's take advantage!

jesus christ.

Or that.

[9] or not.

[10] Nice Jewish boy, went into his father's business.

K #1

[14] No sir. K #2.

well, that was nice 'n fast!

[13] yeah, that's right. long-haired guy, iirc...

Wow
.over 200!

[17] That's him. Got into some trouble with the Italians, also with the law.
Like Meyer Lansky.

[18] I like the placement of the decimal point. Are you an accountant? (Like Meyer Lansky.)

Nope just a newbie to smartphone typing

coltrane's ops is almost .7.0.0., also.

his BABIP has been below .200 most of the season; a lot of his avg. woes have been luck related. his iso-D is really good (over 100 points).

[21] I don't think Meyer Lansky did a lot of smartphone typing.

I hereby declare tonight Meyer Lansky Night. He did spend a lot of time in Florida.

[21] ooh, i might be getting an iphone in the coming months. i've been rockin' the razr for a good 6 years now! : )

[it's held together by tape...]

Give me Pearce on Earth!

Pearced that.

[24] Really? Is someone else paying for it?
I like them, but kind of crazy expensive.

[27] the iphone?

well, the 5 is coming out, so the 4 will be free and the 4S will be $99.

Ear Pearcing!

Now that's CC.

[28] Ah, true. But still the monthly plan is high, no?

How about Nunez?

[30] ah, i'm sure it is. since i'll use it for work, i bet my accountant will allow me to write it off. would meyer lansky be cool with that?

[32] He practically invented the idea.
[31] No thanks, already got one.

Fugh.

Ruh areoh.

Double wouble fugh.

I'm starting to see the flaw in the new Yankee plan of scoring a run or two and getting the pitcher to shut out the other team.

Double bugger duck fucker.

Hm.
Okay, get Desmond Jennings, preferably GIDP or K, and we'll take it from there.

Yike.

Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are.

Fug, I think we're in trouble if even Johnson scores...
Damn. Things were going so well. Sort of.

This Is painful.

this team is going nowhere.

Jesus.
Maddon decides to give us a couple of strikes and maybe an out, so Russell gives them the base anyway, Oy.

(41) Don't you try and slip a Floyd drop by me Mr.Cult!
In and out this morning .. Can we win this one?

and still nobody out.

we're gonna lose big...

I guess that was almost the best you could hope for there.
Still, deep hole against Price, man.

I'm going to do something else for a while.
Hey, thelarmis (and other relevant parties -- garydsimms, I assume), Happy New Year, if I don't 'see' you this weekend.

[46] can we? sure!

will we? doubtful.

Well, that could have been absolutely awful, instead of just very, very bad ... so, I guess that's a positive!

[48] l'shana tova!

[46] Always ready to drop some Animals, especially when I'm a bitter, snarling mood.

Curtis!

But Grandy is Dandy and that's as sweet as candy!

(52) Which would be every game thread then? ;)
Did you see the other day a FanGraphs writer linked to Sonny Sharrock, very hip!

Wow.

Just ... WOW.

[55] These days, mostly ...

No, I didn't.

LOVES me some Sonny.

You've got Many Mansions, I expect?

Man, if Nune5 didn't have an iron glove pretty much everywhere, he'd actually be a useful part on a good team ...

Cap'n!

Bravo.

(57) Of course, brilliant album all around 'Ask The Ages'. 'Guitar'' is also classic.
Work calling now, GoGo Yankees!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

Off the end of the bat.

yay, jeter! congrats, captain!

Jeebus.

[60] Ack. You're right, Ask the Ages.

I'm crosseyed with the heat right now, LA's got a crazy heatwave going on and I've got no AC ...

[60] And, of course, the soundtrack to Space Ghost, Coast to Coast ...

Man, remember when Martin seemed like a medium-term answer to our catching problem?

Yeah, me too ...

Drills one to short? Weak chop to short more like it.

motherfucker.

Alright.

That's enough for me.

the K-king...

Well, we needed C.C. to go deep into the game and shut down the Rays and again he fails.

jesus fucking christ.

this team is doomed...

Does anyone really think this is a playoff team?

[73] Limp into the playoffs, quickly eliminated. Lose the wild card playin game.

Oh, good. Matchups. Just what we needed.

Jesus fucking Christ. We're matching up against Sam Fuld.

I hope they fire him. Purely out of spite now.

Another crap ass game. Sheesh. This was supposed to be a lovely Saturday morning for me.

captain keeps hitting...

a-bomb.

down by one...

crooked hat in for the 5-out save...

Wow. I was just about to write "the Yanks won't win unless Jeter single-handedly wins it for them."

Thanks Al.

The Dictator!

I lied.

Go Leon!!!

rodney with a strikeout and a walk.

here's comes the homer...

Well, that was ... not sub-optimal.

But, 5-4, there's hope.

That was not a first pitch swing situation, fer fucks sake, Grandy!

crap.

keep 'em at 5 and get rodney in the 9th...

joba time...

Uh, what?

Joba??

Now I don't feel so good ...

Nice catch!

O's-A's scoreless thru 1...

Wow

Oh hey, look at [58]

Motherfucking Nune5 ...

fucking fuck fuck!!!

goddamn fucking nunE5!!!

wow, he SUCKS!!!

Nunez making me cry

As I said, another crap-ass game. Groan...

phfittt, the air leaves the stadium.

Well, let's go watch Bal v Oak ... and root for Oakland!

whudimiss?

Good fucking night.
