"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

Time to Get Fat and Collect Our Props

I don’t think we’re going to see another low scoring game tonight. Nope, I expect to see the ball flying around out there. Let’s hope the Yanks are the ones putting the crooked numbers up on the board.

Never mind the Sizzlean–bring home the bacon and let’s go Yank-ees!

Man, that's really not a very flattering picture of Bartolo ...

2 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2011 7:14 pm

Do you know of a flattering picture of Bartolo?

3 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2011 7:19 pm

Ozzie's gonna have to drop a couple of fivers into the Swear Jar ...

4 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2011 7:24 pm

FISTED!

5 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2011 7:26 pm

RIPPER!!!

6 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 27, 2011 7:26 pm

Not gonna catch that

7 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2011 7:27 pm

Catch *THAT* Lilliputian!

8 Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2011 7:27 pm

Love me some Robbie!

9 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2011 7:27 pm

[4] HAMMERED!

10 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2011 7:28 pm

[6] [7] Heh.

11 OldYanksFan   ~  Apr 27, 2011 7:28 pm

DAMN! Robbie is a good hitter. Low and inside and he creams it.

12 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2011 7:39 pm

Toad!
I averted my eyes. But he squeezed out of it.

13 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2011 7:44 pm

Was that actually a "Jeter sucks" chant?

14 Marek   ~  Apr 27, 2011 7:46 pm

[13] Geez, I didn't realize I had Skype on.

15 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2011 7:49 pm

Evening folks. Three runs already? Yes.

16 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2011 7:52 pm

[15] Hi rbj. Yes, Rob picked up some you-1 early.

17 Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:02 pm

I've been wondering what happend to Greg Maddux. Bartolo ate him. He's working that wiffle ball like movement.

18 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:03 pm

I'm enjoying the Fat Bastard era so far. That 2 seam fastball he's throwing is a legit nasty pitch.

19 Diane Firstman   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:08 pm

Hmmm .... Joba, Brackman, Montero and Ramiro Pena for Hanley Ramirez .... ?
I wonder if the Marlins would do that?

20 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:08 pm

Slightly outside, but probably too close to take and, in any case, a pitch Jorge should have hammered.

21 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:10 pm

[19] No, they wouldn't.

But first they'd laugh ...

22 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:14 pm

is Vizquel still a whingey ass?

23 Shaun P.   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:14 pm

[19] I don't think they can. Their payroll is already small enough. Any smaller and they're gonna get in huge trouble with the Players Association, no?

24 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:20 pm

[23] Hm, okay, instead of Joba they can have Soriano.

25 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:21 pm

Kay in a mohawk?

26 Diane Firstman   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:24 pm

[25]

scarier thought .... Kay as a father ...

27 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:24 pm

[23] But *why* would they? They're moving into a new stadium next year, they have no need to dump payroll, especially when they're currently leading the NL East.

And, from a baseball perspective, that's a terrible return for Ramirez.

28 randym77   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:26 pm

No way are the Fish giving up Hanley. Maybe we could pry Stephen Drew from the D-backs?

29 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:26 pm

[26] Ohh, yes.

30 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:27 pm

Keep in mind that the BoSox also want a SS. That will make anyone even remotely available very expensive.

31 Diane Firstman   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:30 pm

[30]

well, Hanley WAS a Sox prospect way back when.

But they have a kid named Iglesias ready for 2012.

32 randym77   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:30 pm

Yeah, there just aren't a lot of shortstops who can hit these days. Jeter's still one of the best...because there aren't a lot of alternatives.

33 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:33 pm

[31] Right, the Beckett and Lowell deal.

Yeah, maybe. But Iglesias can't hit at all.

34 Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:36 pm

Boonowa tweepi, ha, ha.
Have you now, ha, ha.

35 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:36 pm

Fat Bastard with da K!

36 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:37 pm

Damn.

37 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:38 pm

Despite giving back a run, we lost only 3% in Win Expectancy that inning.

Now a couple of tack-on runs, please.

38 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:39 pm

This Bart Columbus kid has been a great discovery.

39 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:39 pm

Red Sox getting strangled by the O's again.

40 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:42 pm

DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP 50 feet in front of the wall.

41 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:49 pm

Colon..am speechless. He'll have to make an appearance here soon: http://youcantpredictbaseball.wordpress.com/

42 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:49 pm

Man, Bart is pitching well.

43 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:50 pm

7 innings, well done.

44 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:50 pm

I'd rather see than kid than Gardner.

45 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:50 pm

[43] Any reason not to send him back out there?

46 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:54 pm

[45] Well, there is the almighty binder to consider ...

47 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:54 pm

[45] I still have faith in Soriano!

Box score says Ozzie was ejected in the 1st..what happeend?

48 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:55 pm

I'd sure like it if we scored a few more runs ...

49 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2011 8:57 pm

[45] We have an 8th inning guy! We have to use the 8th inning guy in the 8th inning. Anything else is thinking outside the box. Not allowed.

50 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:00 pm

Easy there Fat Bastard, don't blow the arm out.

51 Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:00 pm

Bollocks!

52 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:00 pm

What? Colon out there? Dare we see a complete game?

53 Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:02 pm

Get in my BELLY!

54 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:02 pm

Pitcher's Best Friend!

Great Googly Moogly Fat Man!!!

57 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:05 pm

Ah, Mo.

58 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:06 pm

Hmmm. Teix out of the game? That's odd.

59 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:09 pm

58) Yeah, that's not good.

60 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:10 pm

Unless something crazy happens here--knock on wood--this'll be the shortest Yankee game this year.

61 OldYanksFan   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:12 pm

[47] He argued a 3rd called strike. I think he might have said "Fuck you" to the ump about 8 too many times.

62 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:13 pm

Adam Dunn, meet a Hall of Famer getting a call.

63 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:16 pm

Alex Rios. Take a seat.

64 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:19 pm

This is taking too long

65 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:20 pm

That's better

66 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:20 pm

Thanks be to Mo.

67 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:20 pm

Sweet. And TIDY. Hot dog. So I was wrong about the runs.

Nice spaz AJ. LOL

68 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:20 pm

Ah, The Mo.

69 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:22 pm

Nice win! Sox losing too (shame it was Luke Scott homering but whaddaya going to do.. ;)

70 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:22 pm

I know it's a game for boys, but AJ Pzkrzewskinsky takes that a little too literally.

71 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:22 pm

The machine back in tune. And right now, starting pitching is not premier issue.

Bartolo muy bueno.

72 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:23 pm

Clay "Lenn Sakata" Rapada in for the O's now...

73 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:26 pm

[72] Not anymore.

74 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:27 pm

[73] Yep, it's Koji "Yoyogi" Uehara in now.

75 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:28 pm

Koji Uehara blows the lead!

76 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:31 pm

Damn! Can the O's hold them??

77 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:40 pm

I'm actually watching hockey.

78 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:46 pm

Awesome. The Sox hand the lead back even as the Bruins cough up their lead with 2 minutes remaining! And they go to OT. I missed the Os' scoring play, though. Hm, was there a runner picked off or something?

79 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:48 pm

Oh, PB but Tek recovered it in time to nail the runner. Then Vlad singled.

80 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:51 pm

Damn, Marco Scutaro PH for Varitek. Now that's insulting, and also a disturbing comment on the Boston bench.

81 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:52 pm

My Little Groundout to end the game. Sweet.
Now if the Habs can pound the stake in, it will be a glorious sportstalk day tomorrow.

82 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 27, 2011 9:58 pm

[81] Indeed. I wonder how all the pundits will defend the BoSox being under.500 for April..still small sample size I guess? Hope we are at least 6 up on them at the ASB!

83 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2011 10:09 pm

Bruins win! Damn.
Good game, though.
