well this ain't good:

Federal authorities have decided to indict Roger Clemens on charges of making false statements to Congress about his use of performance-enhancing drugs, according to two people briefed on the matter.

Let's Go Hughsie!

I hope Phil gets outta the 3rd under 50 pitches. That is all.
[1] He should give Blagojevich's lawyer a buzz.

cabrera trying to bunt a runner into scoring position? really?!

[4] oh, my bad. it wasn't cabrera. i read it wrong. hey, it's still early for me! ; )

Unfuckingbelievabel. Sign that dude up.

WTF???

Are we going to have to walk that fucker every time he comes up?

[6] Oh, he was auditioning? Okay, that's different.

When are they going to learn that Hughes is getting killed by the curve. Do the Yankees scout their own players?

[4] fuck. woulda been better if he bunted... : ~

[7] Just plunk him every time.

-- Did not realize it was a day game. Get to follow by gamechannel.

Jesus. Uh, I guess Miggy is pretty good.

C'MON HUGHSIE. Don't get cute with a guy like that, you dumb ass.

[8] i could use a gig...

i thought it was the *yankees* who are supposed to hit 2-run homers in the foist. hopefully, this is reverse psychology at work...

4 homers and NOW enough is enough according to O'Neill. OY!

We all know two things:

1) Hughes curve has killed him all year.
2) Cabrera is one of the best hitters in the game.

The Yankees apparently do not know these things. The only thing worse than losing, is losing stupid.

[16]

Cabrera or Pujols as best hitter in the game?

[3] Alas, I now hope Phil gets out of the 2nd under 50 pitches. $%%#@$#@$

[18] Yep. And could you add: I hope that we don't get to see Chad Gaudin today at all?

[17] yes.

I can't even get mad at a 2 run homer by Cabrera...thats just what he does

Yankees look really interested in playing today.

the "other" M. Cabrera, just grounded out weakly to 3rd, about 7 miles from me...

[22] do i detect some sarcasm? ; )

44 pitches thru 2...

Det radio guys mention that today's Yankee lineup is 6-37 lifetime against Porcello, FWIW

26 pitches thru 2, for porcello...

at least we had a man on base for a minute or so there

I can't handle a big game from Seton Hall Prep's own Ricky P. today, I really can't

[3] Hey, almost!

even Cabrera's lazy fly balls are scary

my heart skipped a beat off the bat there

51 pitches. 3 innings. Lame.

i hope nunez gets in the game at some point today. who knows, perhaps he'll break up the no-freaking-hitter...

Those 2 are going to kill each other one of these days. Helluva catch.

They just showed the whole bullpen scrambling around to get a look at the big screen replay of Granderson's catch.
Meanwhile, the ump is completely fucking over Hughes, yet Porcello, well.... you know.

Jeter may need to change his jersey # to 6-3.

[36] nomaas had a funny jeter post the other day. sesame street 'fun with numbers'. had a picture of the captain and "6-4-3-" in there. really clever!

Now we're cooking with grease! : )

[37] ha-ha. I missed that one.

37) Nice to see nomaas with a clever post. A few years ago they had some of the funniest goddammed entries and doctored pictures, but lately it's been kinda lame.

Hey Thelarmis...
How do you feel about the Brave's new 1Bman?
Did they have to give up much?
Seems like a great pickup.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

3 hits in a row? a run? huh. cool!

They have a kid announcing the batters this inning? Has that been going on all game? How nervewracking is that?
CURTIS!

Even cooler now!

curtis doin' it on both sides of the field!

[38] i was thinkin' bout posting that earlier! i say it like you do. RI says 'gas'. we could compromise - now we're cookin' with "grass". neh...

You guyz see the video of the blind lady fan and the Yankees?
VERY NICE!
So nice to see the team giving more to the community.

[40] yeah. i hate their new site design. they have new writers, too. but i still check it out regularly and sometimes it's really funny/clever.

[41] i've always liked d-lee. i think it really depends on the bulging disc in his back. they gave up 3 young pitchers, 2 relievers. the youngest, has a lot of promise, but he's just 19. cubs kicked in some cash. i think it's solid, if lee is healthy. he's good at the plate, in the field and clubhouse.

glaus needs a breather and a triple A refresher for 3B. they've got prado, infante, conrad and even hinske to back up 2nd/3rd. lee's a free agent, so all is set for their future 1st baseman Freddie Freeman to come in next year.

i'm down with the trade.

From Lohud:
No significant concerns about Berkman or Rodriguez
Berkman on the DL as of the 16th. Hopefully expected back 9/ 2
ARod looks to be out at least a few more days.

Things aren't looking so bad now . . . K, ground out, K.

that's how ya do it, after we score!

[47] thlearmis, I googled the phrase "with grease" and got nothing. Only "with gas" appeared. If you can stump google you know you're onto something. Or nothing. : )
[48] Her reaction to Tino on her porch was priceless.

From the 'Huge Foot in Big Mouth' dept:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Roger Clemens will be indicted on charges of making false statements to Congress about his use of performance-enhancing drugs, a source familiar with the government's investigation has told ESPN's T.J. Quinn.

The source said the indictment was expected later Thursday. The New York Times first reported the indictment, citing two sources briefed on the case.

well Phillip seems to have calmed down nicely

[54] huh. fuck. i even saw a "...with oil". really random. crazy that you and i each heard "grease." i still think we're right! ; )

[54] if you put it in quotes, some stuff comes up in google...

Ribbie Cano

Rocket Robbie. Word.

[58] You learn something new every day. Cheers.

nice 3-0 poke, Po!

This greenlighting on 3-0 is coming up bigtime.

a lot of 3-0 swinging lately! Hip HIp!

Well, now we're cooking with Crisco... (I've heard that from time-to-time)...

Wowzers, I guess swinging 3-0 is Banter Approved™, huh?

[66] we're a Banter subgroup called The Greenlight Gang

[66]

3-0 is the Official "Swing Away" Count of Bronx Banter ... :-)

Someone needs to tell Leyland this is chess, not backgammon...

[67],[68] (I love it when we're all in a good mood >;)

[65] Nice. : )

[65] i like it!

Austin hits one to the City Limits! 6-2 Yanks!
see what I did there?
Austin City Limits anyone?

Yeah, Baby! Austin Powers one to the gap. (ducking)

I always liked that Austin Kearns!!

I'm liking that Austin Kearns deal more and more.

Good Mood! :D

we make money the old-fashioned way.. we Kearns it. (ducking & punching self in face)

Colonel Austin? Kearnal of Truth?

Wild Style!

oMG, I want to trade Kearns back to Cleveland so that the puns will stop! :)

Lying about drugs to Congress, well isn't that a novel idea...

Was the Six-Million Dollar Man a colonel?

Captain Warningtrack!

WHOOO-HOOOO. The Captain lives!

SCORE BUS!!!

That shot was in 3-D >;)

oh, off the wall in dead center!

nice.

hmm, just got back from a long lunch with a colleague to see the yanks up 7-2 - very nice.

[76] yeah, that might end up being the best trade acquisition of the year for this year.

[80] Very unPC, but would that then make you an Indian-giver?

[82] He was a cyborg. But I think Kim Jones is a Bionic Woman.

Captain Fantastic ...

I think its safe to say the teamwide slump is over

[82] Why yes... yes he was. You know what that means... (anyone have contract figures on Colonel Austin?)

seriously, anybody know the last time Jeter hit one that far to center?

We make runs the old fashioned way ... we Kearns them ...

[90] It would if he were to take it back...

That Jeter hit distancewise equalled five of his 6-3 groundouts strung together

We want Eduardo Nunez! Wel I do anyway.

[84]

"I'm not dead yet."
