What’s Poppin’?

Roy Halladay will face the Yanks today (George Steinbrenner’s birthday) and looks to put a damper on the holiday festivities in the Bronx. It will be a tall task to beat him but stranger things have happened. It’s sunny and beauty-ful in New York.

 

Let’s Go Yan-Kees!

    Happy Birthday George and America!

    He’s 79 today and we’re 233!

    : )



  2. funny, we don’t look a day over 186.



  3. 3. Rich

    Win one for George.

    Yesterday, got to watch a Yankee win, saw the Mudhens win and fireworks. Also the start of a 3 day weekend & payday.

    Here’s hoping the good news keeps coming. Off to watch a 19th century style ball game, Happy Fourth of July everyone!



  5. 5. PJ

    Have fun RBJ! Throw a spitball for me!

    : )



  6. 6. PJ

    C’mon CMW!



  7. 7. PJ

    Wow @ current Yankees “sharing” Lou Gherig’s speech today!

    Wow!



  8. Doing the Patriotic hat thing again, I see.

    I don’t mind the special logo, but does the hat have to be red?



  9. 9. PJ

    I get to listen to WCBS, but at least I get the Yankees game in some form!

    : )

    My FOX Saturday Game today is Dodgers at Padres.

    I’m going to be sick…



  10. 10. PJ

    Woohoo DP!



  11. 11. seamus

    classic Wang DP!



  12. 12. thelarmis

    Wang’s ERA at a sterling 9.80!



  13. I guess that’s why it has to be red. So they can make the canucks wear it, too, and claim it’s for Canada Day.



  14. 14. thelarmis

    nice work, johnny. i’d like him to steal, if his legs are “under him.” let’s be aggressive early, try and wear halladay down.



  15. 15. PJ

    Woohoo A-Rod!



  16. 16. seamus

    [12] woo hoo!

    and nice hit and run…



  17. 17. thelarmis

    yeah, A-Rod!!!!

    Yanks take the early lead! : )



  18. 18. seamus

    woo hoo A-Rod! hehe. i’m behind y’all



  19. 19. thelarmis

    i’d still rather see Posada in the 5-hole, instead of Robbie…



  20. 20. seamus

    [19] he’d be better. I really want to see him stick there and turn his RISP numbers around. I know it wouldn’t be the popular move but it could be crucial down the stretch if he can build some RISP confidence.



  21. 21. thelarmis

    is Wang being helped by the ump on those 2 strike calls? they look a bit outside on gamecast…



  22. 22. thelarmis

    throw strikes, please.

    [20] i hear ya, man. i thought of that, too. but it’s really tempting to put Jorgie behind A-Rod. Posada Rocks!!!



  23. 23. thelarmis

    dammit, lost him…



  24. Holy crap. Bad luck.



  25. 25. thelarmis

    ugh. and the start looked so promising. : /



  26. 26. PJ

    Bah! 2-1



  27. 27. thelarmis

    and there it is. we’re losing. awesome. : /



  28. Gets out of it with a DP.

    Man, that was really just bad luck.



  29. 29. thelarmis

    at least he got another DP.

    let’s see if we can actually score more off Doc…



  30. 30. thelarmis

    [28] was it on the ground rule double? obviously, i can’t see the game. i have braves-nats, cubs-brew crew here…



  31. 31. seamus

    He isn’t pitching bad. Some real tough breaks there. And the walk was obviously bad.



  32. 32. PJ

    I hope they got their “Hats for Bats” working today, even if they are red!

    : )



  33. 33. seamus

    [30] that was good hitting. not bad pitching though. Just one of those shallow right field low flies that landed fair.



  34. 34. thelarmis

    Vagitek goes deep, Sox up 2-nil. he’s got 12 so far, guess he’s not finished after all…



  35. [30] The ground rule double looked like it was going to be foul, but ended up bouncing on the line. Literally – the chalk flew up when it hit.

    The 2-RBI single was a grounder that bounced over Wang, just out of his reach.



  36. And Godzilla ties it up.



  37. 37. Just Fair

    Kaboom. Take that, Doc!



  38. 38. PJ

    Po’s hand is still swollen, yet he insisted he could play today…

    Woohoo Matsui!

    : )



  39. 39. RIYank

    [34] Vagitek. Cervix. What is it with catchers and female reproductive parts?

    Wait, wasn’t this a Seinfeld bit?



  40. 40. thelarmis

    MATSUI-SAN!!!

    tie game : )



  41. 41. seamus

    MATSUI!!!!



  42. 42. thelarmis

    seamus & randy = thanks for the 411 on the double, etc.!



  43. 43. PJ

    [39] No… MLB players have been “pussies” for years now…

    : )



  44. 44. Just Fair

    [39] Mulva? Deloris? : D



  45. 45. thelarmis

    [39] the g/f whose name he forgot? rhymed with something…



  46. 46. seamus

    wow, gardner looked totally outmatched.



  47. 47. thelarmis

    Wang should be more comfy now – his ERA is back into the 10’s… : ~



  48. 48. thelarmis

    [43] Twat Nixon.



  49. 49. thelarmis

    From Petey:

    Matsui is 5 of his last 10 with four RBI and four extras. He has three careers dingers against Halladay.



  50. 50. PJ

    [48] heh heh

    Exactly!
