I LOVE Lady Liberty!!!

May Emily and you keep the Yankees' winning ways up like... some big lady does the torch of well, you know!

: )

apparently Damon slept over at Jeter's for the big birthday bash. Johnny's out with the flu...

crap. shit sox just broke the ice. 1-nuthin'

my emily is out in the yard doing some weeding. about to call her in for some beans, rice and skanks.

I'm not touching that one.

garret doubled off papelbitch, but sux hold on to win 1-0 here in atlanta... : /

i played the statue of liberty in a school play in like 2nd grade.

yep keep it going whenever the game starts.

wake has 10 wins...

hmm no one is saying anything about a rain delay - guess it is okay in flushing

Kay generously called that pop-up "looped into shallow center."
.

Yes, I'm getting the YES feed again tonight,

My wife and I saw "Lady Liberty" during our trip to NYC.

Seeing her up close made our blood run red, white, and blue, like the Yankees' bat and hat logo!

: )

[11] Michael Kay is unacceptable...

i just hope the Yankees realize that they are facing Tim Redding tonight...and treat him accordingly.

i see the mets have a ferret who can't throw strikes pitching tonight

do it, Alex. do it.

[12] you are soooo lucky! i grew up not too far from her, but have never been. now i'm waiting for that "someone special", so i can take her. the wait is taking too damn long... : /

i wrote a paper on her restoration process back in the 6th grade. she is well represented in my home and studio! : )

Has anyone interviewed Reggie with respect to A-Rod passing him?

If not, that too is unacceptable...

I do NOT like Cano in the 5 hole. Love Cano, but he's much better batting 6th or 7th.

LOL @ Yankee fan!

well that was wasteful.

[19] yeah, i'd rather see Posada there myself...

[18] yes - mr oct. was interviewed and said:

I am a fan of Alex's and Alex is a friend. The negativity that surrounds the steroids is certainly not something I carry over to him. I do appreciate that he admitted his mistakes, and so from here, we move forward.

Bleh @ Robbie wasting that Yankee fan giving him an extra swing...

: /

[23] Thanks Ms October!

: )

Hi -

I know I mostly lurk here, but I need some advice. I am planning on going to the game with some friends on 7/4. We were thinking of getting seats in Section 426 Row 1 (left field). Is that going to be in the sun or in the shade? I haven't been to the new park yet.

Thanks!

You couldn't draw up a much better matchup than this one. Hopefully, the first inning isn't the norm and the Yankees put this game away early.

[26] Definitely in the sun for a day game.

good job, AJ.

now, score some runs like you should have in the 1st inning...

Very well hurled first frame culminating with the Wright "frozen pizza!"

well done pena, turn the lineup over

pena with the hit off ferett

i like this El Nino kid.

Posada's six for his last 34 is unacceptable...

wow burnett's swing is not bad at all

[34] people keeping pets on their chins ... unacceptable!

Pena is hitting .350 in June!

: )

that was a good AB for AJ.

Not a bad AB by AJ. I like how Kay first said that the 2B by Pena was valuable because it got the pitcher out of the way, then concluded the inning by saying that the Yankees "wasted a double by Pena."

[28] Thanks! I'll look for something on the first base side.

[39] LOL

[19] Unfortunately, with Damon and Jeter sitting, and no DH, who else do you have to bat 5th? Posada, I guess...but he' slumping too.

Good AJ is very acceptable.

dawn of the dino-SAWS

gotta love kay

if it weren't for michael kay, the yankee announcing team would be so great

i've gotta go play a gig, so i'm off to work...

enjoy the game people and may the Yankees WIN!!! : )

Of 14 teams in the AL, the Yankees are 11th in ERA, yet SECOND in BAA. Sound weird? Well, they are also 2nd (worse) in BB. The walk is KILLING us.

[47] live by the walk, die by the walk ...

[48] Live together, die alone...

Woohoo Spanky McSkittles!

not bad for a no-tool 'career minor leaguer'

He really spanked that one.

If I was 3 years younger, I could have faced Redding during our high school years. So I got that going for me. : )

In 45 ABs, Betemit has a sub .600 OPS. But, we did only get Swisher for him.

[54] Someone should be held accountable for that.

Can the Yankees please score?

Uh, Am I in a Twilight Zone epsiode? : /

That Redding start vs. the Sox was about a big a train-wreck that I've ever seen. We should have more than 1 run. Oy.

Anything inside, Brett. Lean into it for Petes's sake. : O

The Day the Earth Stood Still. Wow, The Melk!!

Bad route, good play.

It's weird seeing #53 making a sweet catch and crashing into the wall. : D

[62] LOL

Feels better than plexiglass.

Good Morning! AJ looking good tonight? Got WFAN on the webcast now, ready for King Felix vs the Dodgers on tv at 11am.

Why do we only have one run against Tim Redding? This is disturbing..

A.J. ! You ornery bastard! And I mean that in a good way. Strike out Redding.

Jeez... the Yanks ONLY have 2 hits... although that's 2 hits more then the Mutts have.

Truth is, considering their injury issues, being above .500 is a decent accomplishment for the Mets.

Swisher needs to switch to decaf. Or give up the Red Bull. : )

Well, it looks like there are about 1/2 a dozen of us who have nothing going on, on a Saturday night.

[67] One of the few "facts" I've heard from that hefty dude on "The Fan" is the Mets' key players from last year all stayed healthy. 150+ games or something like that. They blew it last year. Fo sho.

Why can't they hit Tim Redding...the Yankees should be cruising. It's games like this that make me so uncertain about this team.

Lack of participation on Banter game threads during Mets games is unacceptable...

Damn this is a big park.

The Night of The Comet. Damnit! Tex justamissed.

Woohoo Tex and Alex!

[72] lol. Hey, Alex. Lookit Tex point at A-Rod. nice.

[69] Hey. baseball is a morning ritual for me!

Go-Go A-Rod!!

With such a massive outfield, a Met CF'er has almost no chance to throw someone out at the plate.

[78] Or catch a ball...

: )

Alex shoulda scored on that.

bad play by Sheff? that's what you get with 40yr-old outfielders...

Woohoo Po, finally!

Thank you! That's how you deal with Tim Redding.

Fuckin' Sweet. Nice Band-Box, New Crappy Shea.

Nice one, Jorge!!

Jorgie Juices one!! Yayyyyyy!

[78] dimensions given on the Gamecast model don't look so extreme.408 to dead center is same as YS, isn't it?

[87] Yes it is...

[87] But it gets deeper toward right center. The bullpen fence has a 415 marker and I don't think that's the deepest part.

Looks like Kazmir returned with a strong outing. That's not good news.

Jorge Sucks! : )

With this lineup and Aj's stuff, he had a real chance. Now, he has to bear down and get outs. Can't let the Mets back in this game.

Now that the no-no is over..Howie Rose on the WFAN was saying how "amazing" it is that the Marlins have had FOUR no-hitters and TWO championships since they came into the league in 1993, while the Mets....

[93] Along those lines, the YES crew is remarking about how many no-hitters have been thrown by pitchers who played with the Mets, including two in the booth.

boo.

[94] Rose ripping into Cano now for "lollygagging"...ouch...

Here's food for thought. Both C.C. and AJ have looked good with extra rest (CC because he had the abbreviated outing and AJ because of the suspension). Might it be worthwhile to keep Hughes stretched out by having him make a sporadic start and going to a 6-man rotation?

[97] I'll bet that would help Andy too.

I win tonight and tomorrow gives them a 6-3 road trip, which was what I hoped for. Sweeping the Mets in their building, regardless of their many injured players, would definitely take the sting away from losing a series at home to the Nationals for me...

: )

5 minutes is up. Next comment please.
