3 rbj   ~  May 21, 2011 6:46 pm

Meh. I'm getting Cubs - Red Sox. and the game isn't on Extree Innings. Maybe I'll sit outside, read and listen to the Mud Hens.

FUCKSHITGODDAMNBITCHCUNT.

12 Just Fair   ~  May 21, 2011 7:05 pm

I was stuck at a bad restaurant last night and missed every pitch of the game. For this I am glad.

13 cult of basebaal   ~  May 21, 2011 7:06 pm

BALLSUCKINGCOCKFUCKERS.

14 cult of basebaal   ~  May 21, 2011 7:09 pm

[11] I'm so pissed I can't type straight.

It's *4* pm here in L.A. and there sure as FUCK ISN'T a game on here on FOX.

Meh ...

15 cult of basebaal   ~  May 21, 2011 7:11 pm

Alright, I'm going to the local Yankees bar ... 20 miles away ... but I'm gonna watch this game, or kill a FOX cocksucker if not.

DIE, FOX, DIE.

And I *ain't* speakin' German.

16 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 21, 2011 7:12 pm

I'm already tense and irritable seeing these two bozos on the screen.

And the real indignities are yet to come...

17 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 21, 2011 7:12 pm

[15] Cheers!

18 rbj   ~  May 21, 2011 7:16 pm

Aceves is starting for Boston.

19 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 21, 2011 7:17 pm

Swisher has seriously regressed.

I don't care if it was the rain.

He practically fucking fell on his ass the other day, too.

20 rbj   ~  May 21, 2011 7:18 pm

Tampa just lost.

21 Chyll Will   ~  May 21, 2011 7:18 pm
22 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 21, 2011 7:21 pm

I love this.

Just love it.

23 rbj   ~  May 21, 2011 7:26 pm

Cubs got the first two on, then three straight outs. Apparently they have the same disease as the Yankees.

24 Just Fair   ~  May 21, 2011 7:35 pm

[22] It IS highly contagious.

25 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 21, 2011 7:51 pm

Nice hit, Alex.

26 OldYanksFan   ~  May 21, 2011 7:52 pm

Fucking Fox! I'm reduced to Gameday.

27 Just Fair   ~  May 21, 2011 7:54 pm

Kaboom!

28 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 7:55 pm

MUSSELL MARTIN!!!

29 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 21, 2011 7:55 pm

How 'bout that Russell Martin, eh?

30 cult of basebaal   ~  May 21, 2011 7:55 pm

Oh, lovely. The game is simply blacked out here in L.A.

I love FOX.

31 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 7:56 pm

[8] thanks for the reminder! but goddman, buck/timmay are the freakin' WORST!!! ugh.

32 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 7:56 pm

[29] oof. did you drive 20 miles for the black out? drink lots o' sods, but don't drive 20 miles after!

hey cult, is Del Mar CA near LA or is it north cali?

33 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 7:58 pm

btw, has it been mentioned that Gary Carter was diagnosed with FOUR small brain tumors today? sad.

34 cult of basebaal   ~  May 21, 2011 7:58 pm

WHY? YOU PLAYING del Mar???

35 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 8:01 pm

[34] maybe. i take it it's nearby, huh? would that mean i fly into LAX?

36 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 8:02 pm

nice catch, curtis!

37 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 21, 2011 8:02 pm

He's good out there, that Curtis.

38 cult of basebaal   ~  May 21, 2011 8:02 pm

Yeah, LAX, or maybe John Wayne. It's about 1/2 way between LA and SD.

39 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 21, 2011 8:02 pm

I wish they'd show it again and show it from a proper angle from start to finish.

40 NYYfan22   ~  May 21, 2011 8:04 pm

greetins, creatins. I'm "watching" on the ipoop via radio feed tonight.

41 Just Fair   ~  May 21, 2011 8:04 pm

[39] Yes spoils us with replays. Fox fucking sucks at showing replays. Fuck them. Curtis went a long way to make that nice catch.

42 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 21, 2011 8:05 pm

Nobody ever works out for the Mets.

Remember Mo Vaughan and Robby Alomar?

43 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 8:11 pm

wow. a classic jeter oppo field single!

yay! : )

44 Just Fair   ~  May 21, 2011 8:11 pm

2 hard hit balls by The Captain tonight.

45 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 21, 2011 8:12 pm

[43] It was very pretty.
[44] I missed the first one, glad to hear that.

46 Just Fair   ~  May 21, 2011 8:14 pm

Lay off the slider, Curtis. Stick in the seas, Teix! YES!!!

47 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 8:14 pm

TEX GO BOOM!!!

48 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 21, 2011 8:15 pm

Good work, Teix.

49 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 8:16 pm

[45] his 1st AB, was a first pitch swinging high fly to center. wasn't crushed or super deep, but wasn't a shallow, lazy pop-up, either...

50 Just Fair   ~  May 21, 2011 8:17 pm

Man, Alex whistled that liner. Damn!

51 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 8:17 pm

damn. reyes is robbing A-rod, left & right. (literally)

52 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 8:20 pm

whew. nice diving catch by Swish!

53 NYYfan22   ~  May 21, 2011 8:20 pm

at least Swish is doing something for this team..

54 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 8:21 pm

look at that range for the captain! ; )

[right at him, for those who can't see...]

55 Boatzilla   ~  May 21, 2011 8:24 pm

Now this is what I call Yankee baseball.

56 Just Fair   ~  May 21, 2011 8:26 pm

Oh, Robbie. You're KILLIN' me!

57 Boatzilla   ~  May 21, 2011 8:26 pm

Except we need to get Robby right.

58 Boatzilla   ~  May 21, 2011 8:28 pm

JAY-sus, Fox, is this a talk show or a ball game?

59 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 8:30 pm

[58] i know. but anything that keeps timmay's trap shut is a good thing!

60 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 21, 2011 8:38 pm

Saturday crowd, Scary.

Tex and Jeter hitting? Weather warming up in NY, it was warm in Texas and they stroked. Maybe those old joints need heating up.

Aj on the precipice, but his relaxation routine seems to be working.

61 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 8:39 pm

fuck. i called fat liar's homer. dammit. shit sox took the lead. : /

62 rbj   ~  May 21, 2011 8:39 pm

[58] Cubs - RS announcers are just as bad, slurping the Sox & Adrienne Gonzales in particular. Crap, Ortiz just homered, more slurping to continue.

63 Just Fair   ~  May 21, 2011 8:53 pm

The 'ol lead off walk trick. Bollocks!

64 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 21, 2011 9:02 pm

Curtis is good.

65 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 9:02 pm

lefty killer!

66 rbj   ~  May 21, 2011 9:03 pm

So the Yankees think the only place that's RISP is at bat?

67 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 9:04 pm

i loves it!!!

68 RIYank   ~  May 21, 2011 9:05 pm

Damn, I am so tired of all these home runs! Hitting so many homers is going to come back to haunt the Yankees. Somebody sacrifice, fer crisake!

69 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 9:05 pm

[66] apparently so!

70 rbj   ~  May 21, 2011 9:06 pm

Youk just got plunked, warnings issued.

71 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 9:07 pm

yeah, and fat liar's back up...

72 RIYank   ~  May 21, 2011 9:08 pm

I can't watch. I'm on the road and my internet connection is too slow for my mlb.tv. Grrrr. I might have to go to a bar now to watch the end.

73 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 9:08 pm

[70] couldn't have happened to an uglier guy!

74 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 9:09 pm

[72] please have a beer for me! (or more sophisticated drink, as is your wont). i have another marimba recording session tomorrow, so no adult suds for me...

75 RIYank   ~  May 21, 2011 9:11 pm

[74] Wow, you can't drink a beer the night before a marimba recording session? I have a kind of gig tomorrow, myself, but I guess I metabolize faster than you.

Anyway, my real answer is: gladly!

76 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 9:11 pm

big Z got out of it...

2-1, after 5...

77 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 9:12 pm

[75] yeah. it's my personal rule. i have to get up early and be sharp. really really really difficult material. i wanna be in tip-top shape. always for recording sessions...

thanks! and travel safely...

78 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 9:14 pm

"quality" from AJ...

79 Marek   ~  May 21, 2011 9:17 pm

How come the Yanks can't find a pitcher like Aceves?

80 Alex Belth   ~  May 21, 2011 9:17 pm

Jesus, bullpen, hang on will ya hah?

81 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 9:18 pm

BOOne NOgan

82 Alex Belth   ~  May 21, 2011 9:18 pm

I'm calling it right here, Beltran is going yard.

83 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 9:19 pm

[79] yeah, he pretty much kicked ass tonite. he was a good guy, too...

84 Alex Belth   ~  May 21, 2011 9:22 pm

I'm so happy that I don't know dick.

85 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 9:22 pm

yeah, d-rob!!!

una mas, buddy!

86 Marek   ~  May 21, 2011 9:23 pm

UGH. Sox get a strike-em-out-throw-em-out on what should have been called ball four. Man, I wish I could be watching the Yankees instead of this slop.

87 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 9:24 pm

wahoo!

88 Alex Belth   ~  May 21, 2011 9:25 pm

Hot dog!

89 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 9:31 pm

i wonder when it'll be time to give justin maxwell a chance...

90 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 9:31 pm

cliff lee with another double-digit strikeout game...

big z in trouble, yet again...

91 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 9:32 pm

[88] what is the name of a lou donaldson record on blue note from 1969?

92 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 9:33 pm

93 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 9:37 pm

94 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 9:38 pm

95 Boatzilla   ~  May 21, 2011 9:39 pm

SWEET.
With D-Rob and Joba pitching like this, who needs Soriano?

96 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 9:44 pm

97 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 9:46 pm

98 Alex Belth   ~  May 21, 2011 9:47 pm

99 Boatzilla   ~  May 21, 2011 9:51 pm

100 rbj   ~  May 21, 2011 9:52 pm

101 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 9:53 pm

damn...i really wanna see Mo pitch. but, now it's not a save situation. he warmed up for awhile though...

102 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 9:54 pm

yup, according to lohud and william's blog, Jete did indeed tie Rickey. very cool!

looks like it's ayala...

103 Boatzilla   ~  May 21, 2011 9:56 pm

Remember Benny Ayala?

104 Boatzilla   ~  May 21, 2011 9:57 pm

105 thelarmis   ~  May 21, 2011 9:58 pm

108 Boatzilla   ~  May 21, 2011 10:02 pm

[106] And that mohair suit...

109 Boatzilla   ~  May 21, 2011 10:03 pm

Well, that was a very satisfying win in almost every aspect.

Only negative was watching Cano's at-bats.

110 Marek   ~  May 21, 2011 10:13 pm

C'mon Cubbies!

111 Marek   ~  May 21, 2011 10:27 pm
