CC and the Yanks look to make it eight straight tonight. Rain could be a factor. Let’s hope it doesn’t mess with a nice winning streak.

Let’s Go Yan-Kees.

    love that song, gotta dig the very unusual santana-esque back half of the song …



  2. 2. PJ

    I’m “almost certain” that a rain delay wouldn’t adversely effect CC the way it obviously does Joba…



  3. 3. The Hawk

    I really think the Rolling Stones are an atrocity sometimes but that is a cool song.



  4. 4. cult of basebaal

    just because Girardi doesn’t like for us to wait for a ballgame without anything to talk about …

    UPDATE, 6:04 p.m.: Joe Girardi was asked this afternoon why Cano is hitting fifth given his .213 average with RISP and the fact that he hasn’t had an RBI since June 17. Girardi said it was because he hit “two rockets” against the Mets the other day with runners on base.

    (from Petey)

    Speaking of delays ….

    The Astros and Padres are delayed in the top of the 9th inning, due to a small swarm of bees that have congregated in left field.

    (no joke)

    [5] GIMME 5 BEES FOR A QUARTER!



  7. 7. Rich

    One of the best albums ever.



  8. 8. Cliff Corcoran

    But the above tune is from Sticky Fingers, which is actually my favorite Stones album (just ahead of Let It Bleed).

    Here’s hoping the Yanks run like Wild Horses over the M’s tonight and make them their Bitch.



  9. 9. cult of basebaal

  12. 12. RIYank

    Damn, I was really in the mood for a baseball game. What’s the forecast down there?



  13. 13. Rich

    [12] Rain, as always:

    Tonight: A chance of showers and thunderstorms. Some of the storms could produce heavy rain. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 62. West wind between 3 and 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%.
