And a toast to Harmon Killebrew.

2 Alex Belth   ~  May 13, 2011 6:45 pm

Here here!

3 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 7:02 pm

So glad I missed that horse shit last night.

Here we go...

4 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 13, 2011 7:03 pm

Jazz Princess woke me up holding my Yankees 2009 WS Championship t-shirt, a good omen for the weekend! Go Go Bar-to-LO!

5 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 7:10 pm

Check out that Colon.

6 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 13, 2011 7:10 pm

I got your stem cell right here Jacoby! Sit down!

7 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 7:14 pm

Francona watches Fox.
Ugh.

8 rbj   ~  May 13, 2011 7:14 pm

[6] That's jarring, as that's my last name.

9 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 13, 2011 7:17 pm

[7] Yeah. Ouch.
[6] Oops, we can change it. "Sit down, Ellsbury!" :)

10 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 7:17 pm

[8] Heehee!

11 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 7:21 pm

Man, that Swish is a ham!

12 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 7:22 pm

He doesn't have one perfect inning all season?

Really?

Is that even possible?

13 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 7:22 pm

Ohhhh, in the FIRST inning.

Ok.

14 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 13, 2011 7:24 pm

Jeez, up 3-0 and he whiffed him..I need some espresso.

15 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 7:25 pm

Damn.

I thought that was gone off the bat.

16 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 13, 2011 7:29 pm

[15] Yanks-Sox and it's just you and me, Weeping?
I hope Cano takes Bucholz deep in the 2nd..don't like that start.

17 rbj   ~  May 13, 2011 7:39 pm

[16] I'm here, just dealing with a couple of dogs who don't care for the thunder.

18 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 13, 2011 7:43 pm

[17] Nice. Hope the dogs don't get too scared.
Swisher is amazing, they should call him "FullCount".

19 rbj   ~  May 13, 2011 7:46 pm

[18] It seems to have passed by now.

Could we get some action, Yankees?

Sigh, guess not.

20 Just Fair   ~  May 13, 2011 7:49 pm

Never mind the Bollocks. Word.
[17] I am watching and waiting. Luckily the hound is apathetic. : )

21 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 7:53 pm

Good.

22 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 13, 2011 7:53 pm

Could this be the rare Sox-Yanks game under 4 hours?

23 OldYanksFan   ~  May 13, 2011 8:02 pm

I'm here... you can start drinking now.
Laptops is on. Gotta work the pitch count and get him out after 6.

24 OldYanksFan   ~  May 13, 2011 8:03 pm

Laptops at 44 pitches. We gotta do better.

25 rbj   ~  May 13, 2011 8:15 pm

This is infuriating. May have to switch to the Tigger's game, Verlander's pitching.

26 rbj   ~  May 13, 2011 8:20 pm

Whiff of Colon? Groan.

27 OldYanksFan   ~  May 13, 2011 8:20 pm

Colon is very cool under pressure.
Passed ball costs us a run.

28 Just Fair   ~  May 13, 2011 8:21 pm

I'm glad I have gameday on the porch. Holy crap why can't this team hit?

29 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 13, 2011 8:25 pm

About feckin time!

30 rbj   ~  May 13, 2011 8:26 pm

Hey that's one of them whatchamacallits.

31 rbj   ~  May 13, 2011 8:31 pm

This is brutal to watch.

32 randym77   ~  May 13, 2011 8:31 pm

Verlander is kind of good, isn't he?

33 a.O   ~  May 13, 2011 8:33 pm

Anyone remember back when Swisher used to hit?

34 Chyll Will   ~  May 13, 2011 8:34 pm

Yeah, other than to say hi to you guys, I haven't had much reason to follow lately. I'm still diggin the new layout; it's like there are nice little distractions when the game is dull... hey, just like going to the stadium I imagine; still haven't gone yet...

35 a.O   ~  May 13, 2011 8:35 pm

Jeter just had to backhand a ball literally 3 feet to his right.

36 rbj   ~  May 13, 2011 8:35 pm

[33] Or any Yankee?

37 a.O   ~  May 13, 2011 8:37 pm

The froggie is quick off the hill!

38 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 8:43 pm

It's GONE!!

39 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 13, 2011 8:44 pm
40 Just Fair   ~  May 13, 2011 8:44 pm

I'll take a rally killer about now.

41 a.O   ~  May 13, 2011 8:45 pm

I'm diggin it

42 Alex Belth   ~  May 13, 2011 8:49 pm

Dusty gets robbed. I'mmmmmm lovin it.

43 rbj   ~  May 13, 2011 8:50 pm

Jeebus, you can't tailor make a DP more than that.

44 rbj   ~  May 13, 2011 8:50 pm

I don't like the "Boston sucks" chant. Be original folks.

45 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 8:59 pm

[44] They're all transplanted midwesterners, no doubt.

46 Just Fair   ~  May 13, 2011 9:10 pm

[44] I wouldn't mind hearing 50,000 sing songing "Youklis is Ugly."

47 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 9:11 pm

I hate this game.

48 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 13, 2011 9:12 pm

Just got home, rushed dinner. 2-2 in the 6th? Three hour Yanks-BS game? Bartolo looks good.

Arod, not so much. The newbie hit a hr, good; no rivalry baggage.

49 OldYanksFan   ~  May 13, 2011 9:12 pm

Robbie dogging it may have cost us a run.

50 OldYanksFan   ~  May 13, 2011 9:16 pm

Does Posada even try to run hard?

51 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 13, 2011 9:16 pm

Oh Po.

52 Just Fair   ~  May 13, 2011 9:18 pm

[49] Look like he just screwed himself into the ground on the swing. He busted it after he got his shit together.

53 rbj   ~  May 13, 2011 9:20 pm

[46] LOL! A good one.

Wow, : is out?

54 rbj   ~  May 13, 2011 9:25 pm

Robbie?

55 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 13, 2011 9:25 pm

I know we are calloused to it, but the graphic sound effects are an insult to the fans collective intelligence. I blame Fux for starting it. This is a live Baseball, not a video game.

56 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 13, 2011 9:29 pm

Trouble, Agon up, Robinson makes that pivot 99% of the time on the DP. The 1% result might cost.

57 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 9:31 pm

I still hate this game.

58 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 9:32 pm

OH, FUCK ME!

59 OldYanksFan   ~  May 13, 2011 9:33 pm

Good night.

60 Just Fair   ~  May 13, 2011 9:34 pm

Mother Fucker!

61 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 13, 2011 9:34 pm

Cano missed the chance for the double play..that could be the game now. Oh well, they'll get them tomorrow.

62 Just Fair   ~  May 13, 2011 9:37 pm

I did not see the Robbie field play. 2 games in a row. Ugh.

63 Alex Belth   ~  May 13, 2011 9:41 pm

61) Shame on you. Game is not over. Bunch of bullshit, yes. Over, no.

64 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 13, 2011 9:45 pm

[63] Not feeling that comeback vibe, LaptopBardRiverdance combo is on the menu..still watching but doing morning chores now!

65 Alex Belth   ~  May 13, 2011 9:47 pm

this sucks

66 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 9:49 pm

I wish this team would score some runs now and again.

67 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 13, 2011 9:51 pm

Yanks not looking so good right now.

Where's Tex, Cano, Swish, Arod?

Colon pitched well.

68 OldYanksFan   ~  May 13, 2011 9:51 pm

Jeter is back to being useless.

69 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 9:52 pm

[67] Just like AJ before him.

This is terrible.

The offense needs to be consistent.

70 OldYanksFan   ~  May 13, 2011 9:52 pm

[68] Although so is just about everyone else.

71 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 13, 2011 9:52 pm

Oh great, Boone Logan time.

Just read about John Lackey over at FanGraphs, feel bad for slagging him off so much. Really heavy stuff going on in his personal life, hope it gets better for him.

72 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 13, 2011 9:52 pm

[68]A lot more than Jeter is useless, you can't pin this on him.

73 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 9:54 pm

Derek still can field.

74 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 9:58 pm

That's nice.

75 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 9:59 pm

Kay is so right, I was thinking the same thing, that was a gorgeous shot.

76 Just Fair   ~  May 13, 2011 10:01 pm

[71] That is horrible for Lackey. Yikes, I had no idea he was dealing with all that. I certainly wouldn't be handling it well.

77 Diane Firstman   ~  May 13, 2011 10:01 pm

Evening folks

78 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 10:01 pm

Unbelievable.

What motherfucking fecklessness.

You're the #3 hitter, that is NOT acceptable!

79 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 13, 2011 10:01 pm

[75] He's right a lot. Just annoyingly so.
(Alex, an adverb.)

80 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 10:01 pm

[77] Diane.

81 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 10:02 pm

That's all well and good, but it sure would be nice to score without gifts.

82 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 10:04 pm

Come on, Robbie...come on Yankees...I've had enough of the bullshit.

83 Alex Belth   ~  May 13, 2011 10:06 pm

Got a chance...

84 Just Fair   ~  May 13, 2011 10:06 pm

Hello Tv. Oh, boy.

85 Alex Belth   ~  May 13, 2011 10:07 pm

Cant' even offer at 98 up. Let that go, Swish...

86 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 10:08 pm

FUCKING SWISH, DO NOT TAP IT LIKE THAT!

87 Alex Belth   ~  May 13, 2011 10:09 pm

DOUBLE STEAL!

88 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 10:09 pm

Oh, god...

A fucking single, Swish...one lousy, measly single...BAT on BALL...

89 Alex Belth   ~  May 13, 2011 10:09 pm

Way to stay alive...just get it to the outfield, dog.

90 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 13, 2011 10:09 pm

How do you even make contact against 99mph?

91 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 10:10 pm

AAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!

92 Alex Belth   ~  May 13, 2011 10:10 pm

Tough to lay off. Not a strike. But tough, tough, tough to lay off.

93 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 10:10 pm

Damn it.

Damn it.

94 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 10:10 pm

I'm so tense...

95 Just Fair   ~  May 13, 2011 10:11 pm

Hit one out, Jorgie!

96 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 13, 2011 10:12 pm

How do you take both of those????

97 Just Fair   ~  May 13, 2011 10:13 pm

Why swing at a 98mph heater right down the middle at 3-1?

98 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 10:13 pm

Goddamn it.

99 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 13, 2011 10:14 pm

[97] Because you know it's coming right down the middle! Much more likely to get a good swing at 3-1 than at 3-2..as that lame-ass ground out to 2nd shows...

100 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 13, 2011 10:14 pm

That 3-1 pitch was the one.
Tough to have confidence when your batting 1 and change.

THIS TEAM JUST SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

102 Alex Belth   ~  May 13, 2011 10:15 pm

Bunch of bullshit.

103 Alex Belth   ~  May 13, 2011 10:16 pm

101) Not really. They didn't get a big hit but Bard is throwing 100 mph. And they are showing some fight.

104 Just Fair   ~  May 13, 2011 10:20 pm

[99] I know. I was being a sarcastic asshole. I can't believe he watched that one go by. If he's looking for anything else on 3-1 he's lost his mind or he was just hoping to walk. Take a freaking rip for Mo's sake! Bollocks!

105 OldYanksFan   ~  May 13, 2011 10:21 pm

We had a run score because of a passed ball.
A couple of runs score on a missed DP.
Robbie stands at the plate and misses an easy INF single, right before a double.
We have swung at many balls.
We have had FOUR 3-0 counts ending in outs.
We simply have played poorly.
Again.

106 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 13, 2011 10:24 pm

[105] Futility in Poetry. Nice.

107 Alex Belth   ~  May 13, 2011 10:26 pm

C'mon Sori...

108 Alex Belth   ~  May 13, 2011 10:27 pm

105) What's this "we" shit? I don't see any of us out there. LOL

109 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 13, 2011 10:28 pm

[108] I was thinking the same thing. What position OYF?

110 Diane Firstman   ~  May 13, 2011 10:31 pm

which would take longer .... Posada to run around bases, or someone reading all of Drew's DL stints?

111 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 13, 2011 10:34 pm

Grapefruit Face.

112 Alex Belth   ~  May 13, 2011 10:34 pm

fucking hate this guy...

113 Alex Belth   ~  May 13, 2011 10:35 pm

c'mon a base runner. Bring the tying run to the plate.

114 Diane Firstman   ~  May 13, 2011 10:36 pm

Jonathan Papelbon = Pop! Then an anal job.

115 Just Fair   ~  May 13, 2011 10:38 pm

B double O.

116 Alex Belth   ~  May 13, 2011 10:39 pm

Jeter down Oy-2.

117 Diane Firstman   ~  May 13, 2011 10:40 pm

In other news, the Rangers lost another OF tonight ... Julio Borbon left game with leg injury ...

118 Alex Belth   ~  May 13, 2011 10:40 pm

Not. Dead. Yet.

119 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 10:41 pm

Good work, Derek.

120 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 10:41 pm

That was his pitch.

121 Alex Belth   ~  May 13, 2011 10:42 pm

Still ticking.

122 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 10:42 pm

Nice hit, Curtis.

123 Diane Firstman   ~  May 13, 2011 10:42 pm

shades of Game 6 of the '86 Series! :-)

124 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 10:42 pm

I wish everyone on the team could do that.

What nice hitting.

125 Just Fair   ~  May 13, 2011 10:42 pm

Torture.

126 Alex Belth   ~  May 13, 2011 10:43 pm

Curtis' last two hits have been the opp way, on good pitches...

127 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 13, 2011 10:43 pm

Ring the alarm. Time to wake up.
Cano was especially infuriating tonight. He was also in a daze on that pitch out throw, among other things.
Arod and Tex need to do a great thing once in a while.

Nice to see Jeter fight back being down 0-2, and Granderson plating him.

128 Alex Belth   ~  May 13, 2011 10:43 pm

Damn.

129 randym77   ~  May 13, 2011 10:43 pm

Rats. Tex didn't have a very good night.

130 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2011 10:43 pm

Maddening.

131 OldYanksFan   ~  May 13, 2011 10:43 pm

Blow me. Good night (again).

132 Alex Belth   ~  May 13, 2011 10:45 pm

Well, good thing the Yanks don't have to face the Red Sox two best pitchers...wait..Fug.
