That’s another of my favorites, Alex. They sure don’t make them like that any more…
“Max Bialystock is launching himself into little old lady land.” – Zero Mostel
: )
I’m in the ATL for the game. Hopefully the Yanks can win the series. I hope turner field will be like thealarmis described it last night (Yankee Stadium South).
me no likey:
UPDATE, 3:57 p.m.: Cano scratched. No word why.
[2] yo, evil! i’m sure it will be like Yankee Stadium South again! last night was like a playoff game in Da Bronx. it was awesome. i’ve got on a jeter t-shirt and backwards yankees hat. i’ll be headed over to The Ted in about a half-hour.
are you section 224? that’s left field along the 3rd baseline. i’ll be left-center. Yanks should take the field around 5:40pm. yesterday, they stayed until 6:25. i think you can walk around and be by the dugout and stuff, until 6:10pm.
you can also bring in food, beverages (in plastic bottles, no alcohol), etc. hopefully, we’ll meet up. if not, have a great game and GO YANKS!!!
btw, it’s “thelarmis”. no extra “a” in there. Shaun P. always does that to me!!! ; )
[3] Yikes, I hope it’s just a tweak of sumpin’. Trade, maybe? Nah,
[5] no trade.
UPDATE, 4:29 p.m.: Cano has his left wrist taped up but says he’s just getting a day off. Still, he was in the original lineup.
[4] cool man. I’m in section 226. But I will definitely head down to the dugout. I’m in a jeter roadie – open with a blue Tshirt –
and a Yankee hat and my buddy is in a cano T-shirt.
Sorry about the name. Remember I’m tall. I will look for the pony tail.
Cabrera not in the line-up again? Combined with that weird story about the line-up yesterday makes me wonder what’s going on.
[6]
CO-dy RAN-som {clap, clap, clap-clap-clap}
CO-dy RAN-som {clap, clap, clap-clap-clap}…
[7] rock on. okay, i’ll walk down to the Yankees dugout a little after 5:30 or so. i didn’t go down there yesterday, just went to my seat.
i’d like to go back to my seat for most of BP though, ‘coz i’m actually bringing my glove and hope to snag a ball for ms. october! : )
see you soon!
[9] ugh. i don’t know that i can do roll call for him! ; )
i’m running outta text messages, but if i can have one of the pitchers throw me a BP ball, i’ll text Cult and let y’all know…
have a good game, people!
[0] Me too. ha. My wife actually has remnants of a little blue blanket from when she was baby. It is competely in tatters and I tell her occasionally that our dog ate it. She finds this unfunny.
[10] cool!! good luck thelarmis :}
Whoa. Some sources are reporting that Michael Jackson has died.
[14] Not yet, though it’s not looking good with him in a coma
Waiting for a more credible sources than TMZ
CNN the last one to report it. MJ is dead.
CBS, E!, and the LA Times have already reported the death.
Where’s the goddamn game thread?
Where’s Melky?
[18] melky’s got the flu … not sure why the game thread is sick
=)
[19] Thanks for the info, anyway. I’m sick too. Me and the Melkman.
[19] No game thread is unacceptable…
We’ll just have to use this one!
: )
[20] and supposedly matsui too.
i’m calling a big game for alex tonite.
[22] They should have went to Bone’s to eat…
: )
[23] I’m calling a big first inning.
Okay, I may have waited until that prediction isn’t so far out on a limb…
Hey guys. Don’t know what happened on the game thread. I thought it was covered elsewhere. Maybe we got our signals crossed.
As for MJ, I can’t help but think suicide. Let the Elvis comparisons begin. I’d say he’ll be missed, but he already was.
[25] …
Damn, my fault!
A D-Lo special.
Wow!
Cult 1, RIYank 0.
Well, maybe I can get half credit, it’s at least a crooked inning.
[23] yeah, that’s 2 nights running boys, I CAN’T BE STOPPED!!!!
Nostralarmis, you’ve been *PIPPED*!
[28] I like [23] mo better…
: )
energy boost?
[32] Must be the “sweet tea”…
[31] Me too.
I was envisioning Teixeira repelling D-Lo’s pitches, Giambi-like, forcing a walk. Lowe appears to be immune to that power. Fortunately, we have other powers (again, finally…).
[29] you still got a shot too!
gritner … get ‘er done!
[35] Agreed… four hits is a “big inning” for them these days…
: )
[37] Four plus a walk!
Oh, freaking perfect.
Gardner special!
Five hits*
Speed kills!
LOL @ Ransom’s first AB back is with the bases jacked…
*Fingers, toes, eyes crossed*
nice camera work by yes there. pretty sure he was safe though.
damn, damn, DAMN!
nice start, lets hope they win this one for MJ
WHAT??
The replay shows it pretty clearly fair!
that was fair!
Well shit! I’ll give RIY full credit for his prediction…
: )
funny that a solo hr can be reviewed but a 3 run double can’t
what was fair?
