andy looks like a fucking milk man in that hat.

2 rbj   ~  May 31, 2010 1:11 pm

Don't like the commemorative caps on the Yankees.

3 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2010 1:17 pm

Way to work the count to make sure the rest of the team gets a look at this new pitcher's arsenal ...

4 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2010 1:18 pm

Nice to have Grandy back

Beautious, Alex, BEAUTIOUS.

13 Alex Belth   ~  May 31, 2010 1:23 pm

Dude, "Yes Mo" is wack.

14 ms october   ~  May 31, 2010 1:25 pm

oh robbie - you trying to one-up po since you know he'll be back soon?

15 Alex Belth   ~  May 31, 2010 1:25 pm

Robbie...determined to screw that up. LOL

16 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2010 1:25 pm

Well, that was ugly as Hell.

17 ms october   ~  May 31, 2010 1:27 pm

damn that was quick.

18 NYYfan22   ~  May 31, 2010 1:27 pm

hey all

19 seamus   ~  May 31, 2010 1:28 pm

so I gather that robbie was thrown out at second from gameday trying to advance after the error. what exactly happened though?

20 thelarmis   ~  May 31, 2010 1:28 pm

'sup people

21 thelarmis   ~  May 31, 2010 1:30 pm

another rbi for hinske. i wish we kept him as a bench player. he's doing really well here in rainlanta...

22 NYYfan22   ~  May 31, 2010 1:31 pm

way to fuck up the saying, suzyn.

23 ms october   ~  May 31, 2010 1:32 pm

[19] shelley duncan was backing up the play - threw to 3rd to try and get arod, had no play on arod so they quickly threw to 2b to get cano

24 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2010 1:33 pm

Terrible, terrible call by C.B. Bucknor.

25 ms october   ~  May 31, 2010 1:33 pm

go fuck yourself cb bucknor - you really suck

26 Mattpat11   ~  May 31, 2010 1:34 pm

Thats one of the worst calls you'll see.

27 NYYfan22   ~  May 31, 2010 1:34 pm

neighborhood play?

28 ms october   ~  May 31, 2010 1:35 pm

jesus mk this story is not so important you have to keep going back to it.

29 seamus   ~  May 31, 2010 1:35 pm

[23] thanks.

30 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2010 1:35 pm

Nice job there Andy, screw Bucknor.

31 ms october   ~  May 31, 2010 1:35 pm

[27] wasn't even - cano was on the bag with the ball.

32 Mattpat11   ~  May 31, 2010 1:35 pm

[28] Its not even interesting.

33 seamus   ~  May 31, 2010 1:35 pm

yeah yanks! woo hoo! let's go!

34 seamus   ~  May 31, 2010 1:36 pm

[28] what he be talking about?

35 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2010 1:36 pm

[27] Bucknor ruled Cano was pulled off the bag at second, but it wasn't even close, Cano was firmly, OBVIOUSLY on the bag when he caught the ball.

36 NYYfan22   ~  May 31, 2010 1:36 pm

sterling said the out at first went 5-4-2. TWO? was brains covering 1B?

37 ms october   ~  May 31, 2010 1:37 pm

[34] andy, his kids, wanting to be with his kids, retirement

38 Mattpat11   ~  May 31, 2010 1:38 pm

[34] Andy Pettitte wants to watch his son play baseball.

It took him like 8 minutes to say that

39 seamus   ~  May 31, 2010 1:38 pm

[37] ok. thanks again! :)

That does sound ridiculously boring. I mean, good for Andy liking his kids and all but...

40 seamus   ~  May 31, 2010 1:38 pm

[38] and thanks to you too!

(I appreciate word press' ability to teach me patience)

41 Alex Belth   ~  May 31, 2010 1:43 pm

Man, Buckner is a joke out there...

how the hell was that a strike?

45 ms october   ~  May 31, 2010 1:46 pm

nice slappy hit.

46 Alex Belth   ~  May 31, 2010 1:46 pm

fuck em up, Brett. Way to go, boy.

47 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2010 1:46 pm

Run, Frankie, Run!

Nicely done, Gritner!

48 seamus   ~  May 31, 2010 1:47 pm

according to gameday gardner has 4 balls but hasn't walked yet.

49 ms october   ~  May 31, 2010 1:47 pm

53 seamus   ~  May 31, 2010 1:48 pm

there's the single. Did Jetes get hit? oh now i see it damn

54 ms october   ~  May 31, 2010 1:48 pm

mk is an extra fucktard mode today.

55 thelarmis   ~  May 31, 2010 1:48 pm

where'd hit him? i hope not the wrist/hand again...

56 ms october   ~  May 31, 2010 1:49 pm

[55] right under the ass - basically his hamstring.

57 NYYfan22   ~  May 31, 2010 1:49 pm

[55] back o the knee, according to suzyn.

58 thelarmis   ~  May 31, 2010 1:49 pm

thanks, ms. o

59 Alex Belth   ~  May 31, 2010 1:49 pm

not a bad pitch to hit, there...

60 Alex Belth   ~  May 31, 2010 1:50 pm

Aie, good pitch, Hoss. Fug.

61 ms october   ~  May 31, 2010 1:50 pm

damn - would have been nice for some score trucking.

62 thelarmis   ~  May 31, 2010 1:50 pm

crap

63 Alex Belth   ~  May 31, 2010 1:50 pm

Score Truck is just in traffic, it'll get here.

64 thelarmis   ~  May 31, 2010 1:54 pm

[63] it might still be at the beach

65 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2010 1:59 pm

Dandy Andy!

66 williamnyy23   ~  May 31, 2010 2:07 pm

All weekend, I've been waiting for the Yankees to just blow the Indians out of the water.

67 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2010 2:13 pm

Hi gang.
I had Sterling for most of the first third of the game. I actually liked it, I was in the right mood.

68 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2010 2:14 pm

STICK!

69 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2010 2:23 pm

Gritner!!

70 OldYanksFan   ~  May 31, 2010 2:23 pm

Gritner will never make it in the big leagues.

71 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2010 2:26 pm

Speed kills.
Good pitch-out call.

72 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2010 2:27 pm

Wow, the first three innings lulled almost all the banterers to sleep. Or more likely most people have better things to do... (I'll be outdoors cooking soon, myself.)

73 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2010 2:29 pm

I believe the Score Truck is getting ready to pull into the parking lot ...

74 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2010 2:33 pm

MINISODA!

TWINS!!!

75 Alex Belth   ~  May 31, 2010 2:34 pm

nice pitchin by Andy.

76 Alex Belth   ~  May 31, 2010 2:35 pm

72) I'm doing stuff around the house so only in and out here on the comments. Got the windows wide open, good breeze, nice lazy day to catch up on stuff...

77 rbj   ~  May 31, 2010 2:35 pm

[72] Afternoon all, just had a nice 1.5 hour nap. Still exhausted from my Aikido seminar this past weekend.

78 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2010 2:40 pm

[76] [77] Good good good good. Nap and lazy drifting around the house, that's what Memorial Day is all about. Oh, beside the veterans and stuff.

79 thelarmis   ~  May 31, 2010 2:45 pm

[78] wilker has memorial day post up.

no need for a nap when you sleep til 1pm! : )

80 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2010 2:48 pm

[79] Hey! Morning, bud.
Very efficient inning for Andy. Seven pitches, and he got a K!

81 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2010 2:51 pm

We've had a lot of scary flies today, but none of them has landed. Oh, Swisher did belt a good one earlier. But a lot have been caught.

82 williamnyy23   ~  May 31, 2010 2:52 pm

I think the Yankees offense has taken the day off too. The Indians starting staff must be the best in the league because this lineup hasn't been able to touch it. It's a good thing the Indians bullpen is just as bad as the Yankees.

83 thelarmis   ~  May 31, 2010 2:52 pm

[80] it's time for my morning cereal! be back in a bit...

84 OldYanksFan   ~  May 31, 2010 2:53 pm

That has to be the shortest inning we've seen in a long time.

85 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2010 2:53 pm

WTF?
So Talbot gets a 5-pitch inning. That was ridiculous.

86 OldYanksFan   ~  May 31, 2010 2:54 pm

Swisher was great last year, and even better this year.
Who did we have to give up for him again?

87 williamnyy23   ~  May 31, 2010 2:59 pm

The teams have combined for 19 runs in the seventh inning during this series. Andy escaped his end, so hopefully the Yankees continue the trend in the bottom half.

88 thelarmis   ~  May 31, 2010 3:00 pm

[86] wilson betemit. (i think...)

i'm a swish fan!

89 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2010 3:01 pm

[87] On the other hand, whoever leads at the end of the sixth loses. So let's hope they don't continue that trend.

90 williamnyy23   ~  May 31, 2010 3:02 pm

Talk about perfect timing...God Bless America follows the moment of remembrance as if it was planned that way. That would help explain some of these quick ABs.

91 williamnyy23   ~  May 31, 2010 3:02 pm

[89] The Yankees had the lead in the sixth on Friday, so we are safe there.

92 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2010 3:03 pm

That was really nice.

93 OldYanksFan   ~  May 31, 2010 3:04 pm

I don't like listening to Kate Smith every game, and think it is losing it's meaning, but that was a very moving version.

94 OldYanksFan   ~  May 31, 2010 3:04 pm

[88] Who?

95 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2010 3:05 pm

[88] Don't forget the immortal Jeff Marquez and Jhonny Nunez ...

96 OldYanksFan   ~  May 31, 2010 3:05 pm

The guy is just an AAAA player.

97 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2010 3:06 pm

[96] He might be AAAAA. (He runs on really, really small batteries.)

98 rbj   ~  May 31, 2010 3:09 pm

Dang.

99 OldYanksFan   ~  May 31, 2010 3:09 pm

This is a direct cut and paste from Steve at WasWatching, but I though it was interesting.

Derek Jeter’s 2010 season can really be divided into three parts so far:
First 23 games: .333/.367/.510
Next 16 games: .169/.234/.211
Last 9 games: .415/.455/.585

Now that defines streaky

Very good throw but it was NOT a good jump.

100 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2010 3:09 pm

Fuck.

Hmmm, that didn't go so well ...

102 williamnyy23   ~  May 31, 2010 3:09 pm

League average offensive outfielders who can't steal bases really shouldn't be playing every day.

103 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2010 3:10 pm

I know stealing is exciting, but I do wish Gritner would do less of it. I'd be happy if he picked spots where he absolutely definitely could swipe one (like against Victor Martinez, say), and stole only half as many.

104 OldYanksFan   ~  May 31, 2010 3:11 pm

With no out and the top of the order up, as much as we love to see Brett Run Brett, I'm not sure it's a smart play.

105 rbj   ~  May 31, 2010 3:11 pm

Ruh roh, Indians announcers talking about Brett talking with the trainer -- he might be injured.

And now Derek too?

106 OldYanksFan   ~  May 31, 2010 3:12 pm

[103] Is he going on his own... or per Girardi?

107 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2010 3:13 pm

[106] Good question.
I assume it's manager's decision, but that Joe often gives him the green light.

108 williamnyy23   ~  May 31, 2010 3:14 pm

[105] Gardner looked like he hooked his thumb on the slide into 2B.

Jeter was limping to first, probably because of the ball that hit him in the back of the leg.

109 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2010 3:14 pm

[105] maybe caught a spike, supposedly there was some bleeding that the trainer was looking at/treating.

110 williamnyy23   ~  May 31, 2010 3:15 pm

[106] Girardi has said he has the green light, but he will put the stop sign on in certain spots.

111 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2010 3:16 pm

Nice to see Grandy staying on LHPs since he's come back up.

112 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2010 3:18 pm

Jeter left with "tightness in his left hamstring" (same one that was hit earlier)

113 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2010 3:20 pm

Yes, an IBB, thank you. Free base runner! More pressure on your crappy pitcher!

Wait, Perez for Perez. Is that legal?

114 rbj   ~  May 31, 2010 3:21 pm

Ok Alex, time to break open the game.

Sounds like minor things for Derek & Brett.

115 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2010 3:22 pm

SCORE TRUCK!!!

116 williamnyy23   ~  May 31, 2010 3:23 pm

Yes!

Rally killing grand slam.

118 OldYanksFan   ~  May 31, 2010 3:24 pm

I am sooooooo tired of these gratuitious, stat-padding ABs.

Didn't Teix get an IBB B4 ARod's last granny?

119 williamnyy23   ~  May 31, 2010 3:24 pm

Now that was some bad managing.

120 thelarmis   ~  May 31, 2010 3:24 pm

[116] is that his 20th?

124 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2010 3:26 pm

Yeah, [87] was good.

125 OldYanksFan   ~  May 31, 2010 3:26 pm

Anything you can do I can do better....
la la la...la la la....la la la lala.

126 williamnyy23   ~  May 31, 2010 3:26 pm

Now 24 runs have been scored in the 7th inning...including at least a four run half inning in each game.

127 thelarmis   ~  May 31, 2010 3:26 pm

oh, hell YEAH!!!

128 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2010 3:27 pm

[118] I think so, now that you mention it.

129 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2010 3:28 pm

So this will cut down on the IBBs issued to Teix, right? But only by managers who pay attention.

130 OldYanksFan   ~  May 31, 2010 3:28 pm

Fuckin Girardi. He should have had ARod squeeze.
WHERE'S JOE MADDON???

131 rbj   ~  May 31, 2010 3:28 pm

[123] Yup. 3 behind Gehrig. I'm of two minds of someone breaking that record. Kinda like that Lou is still #1, but if it gets broken, best to keep it in pinstripes -- plus it means more Yankee runs.

132 williamnyy23   ~  May 31, 2010 3:28 pm

[118] Yes.

[123] Yep...#20, one behind Manny and three behind the Iron Horse for most all time.

133 Alex Belth   ~  May 31, 2010 3:28 pm

Thee Scortruck arriveth...

134 williamnyy23   ~  May 31, 2010 3:30 pm

[133] Just as the Cleveland bullpen showed up...how convenient.

135 williamnyy23   ~  May 31, 2010 3:31 pm

That Girardi is a great manager when Arod and Tex hit multi-run bombs.

136 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2010 3:33 pm

137 OldYanksFan   ~  May 31, 2010 3:33 pm

He made be a bit one dimensional, but I like Miranda.

138 thelarmis   ~  May 31, 2010 3:34 pm

i just saw J. Wright pitching for the Indians and had terrible flashbacks to Jaret - when he was good against us for the Tribe and horrible for us. : /

139 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2010 3:34 pm

[136] Everybody wants to play baseball! So, things happen!

[135] When he stays out of the way, he's less bad, yes.

140 rbj   ~  May 31, 2010 3:35 pm

At least a productive out.

141 OldYanksFan   ~  May 31, 2010 3:36 pm

I wonder if we will ever see Brains, Jesus and Romine on the team together.

142 thelarmis   ~  May 31, 2010 3:36 pm

Brainiac!

143 OldYanksFan   ~  May 31, 2010 3:37 pm

The Sox are not playing today. With as few day games as there are, you would think everyone would play on a day when the kids don't have school.

144 thelarmis   ~  May 31, 2010 3:38 pm

after this long layoff and big lead, does Andy come back out? he's only at 90 pitches, but...

145 williamnyy23   ~  May 31, 2010 3:38 pm

[139] If he could learn when to get in the way, the Yankees would be even better off.

146 williamnyy23   ~  May 31, 2010 3:39 pm

[144] Park is up, so I would guess Andy's day is over.

147 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2010 3:40 pm

[145] I'm through defending him. The bullpen management in Saturday's game killed my last vestige of apology. I'm just saying, I'm happier when he doesn't try any strategy of any kind.

148 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2010 3:41 pm

Ah, I see Thunderdome has arrived ...

WHO RUN BANTERTOWN?!?!?!?

149 thelarmis   ~  May 31, 2010 3:41 pm

corey hart now has 10 homers this month. he wears his sunglasses at night.

150 thelarmis   ~  May 31, 2010 3:41 pm

[144] it's Pepto.

151 williamnyy23   ~  May 31, 2010 3:41 pm

[147] If I had ti choose between the extremes, I agree. It's better for him to just stay out of the way.

152 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2010 3:50 pm

Once the Score Truck arrives, even the Ramiro Pena Experience can get a hit ...

153 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2010 3:56 pm

We want double digits!

154 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2010 3:57 pm

Thanks. Rob!

155 rbj   ~  May 31, 2010 3:57 pm

Double header for me. Off to the Mud Hens game, though there are off and on showers.

156 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2010 4:11 pm

Chan Ho Ho Ho.

157 williamnyy23   ~  May 31, 2010 4:14 pm

CHP = DFA.

158 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2010 4:15 pm

Ho ho ho.

159 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2010 4:18 pm

And that'll do it.
Good job, CHoP. Sort of. Good enough.

So long, Indians.

Next.
