My goodness, there's a naked photograph of Joe DiMaggio on the Internet! Morris Engelberg is not happy about it.

2 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 6:31 pm

actually, per lohud, martin was scratched - lower back stiffness. frankie brains is in and batting 9th. gritner moved up to 8th...

3 Mattpat11   ~  Jun 13, 2011 6:56 pm

Its time to call up Montero. Martin is barely playing, and Cervelli is unacceptable.

[3] I just read saw this at Pinstriped Bible by Jay Jaffe.
The 21-year-old catcher missed four games last week and is frustrated because he doesn’t think he’s been playing enough.
• Batting coach Butch Wynegar says, “He’s pressed a bit lately, trying to hit home runs,” and thinks that Montero has gotten a bit pull-happy, an assessment with which Montero disagrees.
• Wynegar didn’t mince words about Montero’s focus. Money quote: “There are no doubts about his tools. But he’s such a good hitter that he sometimes takes hitting for granted… he’s so confident in his ability that, mentally, sometimes he wavers a bit. A part of me thinks he’s a little bored here. He thinks he’s just passing through. But he still doesn’t understand how tough it is at the big-league level, especially the mental adjustments.”
• More: “He’s still a little bit immature. He has to grow up a little bit. But the tools are there. Monty is going to be as good as he wants to be. If he wants to be a monster, he’ll be a monster.”

Six!

6 Just Fair   ~  Jun 13, 2011 7:22 pm

C'mon on forfuck's sake!

7 rbj   ~  Jun 13, 2011 7:27 pm

facepalm!

8 Just Fair   ~  Jun 13, 2011 7:40 pm

Good AJ.

9 RIYank   ~  Jun 13, 2011 7:47 pm

Yay, more base runners!
It doesn't matter whether they score.

Does it?

10 RIYank   ~  Jun 13, 2011 7:47 pm

So, if Montero isn't ready, what about Romine? Because, yeah, enough with the cute kid.

11 Just Fair   ~  Jun 13, 2011 7:48 pm

Great ab, Frankie. Crud!

12 rbj   ~  Jun 13, 2011 7:54 pm

[9] Think of them as moral victories -- i.e., shit.

Game doesn't get decided by left on base, fellas.

13 Just Fair   ~  Jun 13, 2011 7:56 pm

2 innings. 0-6 RISP. Annoyed.

14 RIYank   ~  Jun 13, 2011 7:57 pm

[12] Isn't "Total Base Runners" the first tie-breaker?

15 rbj   ~  Jun 13, 2011 8:04 pm

[14] Maybe, I thought it was "grittiness" which was David Eckstein hung around for so long.

16 Just Fair   ~  Jun 13, 2011 8:10 pm

Driven deep.

17 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 8:19 pm

and so it begins...

18 Mattpat11   ~  Jun 13, 2011 8:24 pm

What the hell kind of throw was that?

19 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 8:25 pm

nice aj

20 Mattpat11   ~  Jun 13, 2011 8:29 pm

Was that "deep fly ball" hit 300 feet?

21 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 8:32 pm

well, jeter will lead off the next inning. that usually bodes well!

22 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 8:39 pm

what about bobby meachem and rafael santana?! i mean, they're top 10 all-time shortstops. no?

23 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 8:40 pm

minka is lookin' mighty FINE up there, in the press box...

24 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 8:44 pm

oh no. please don't be hurt, derek. : (

dear espn,

please show minka more!

thanks,
t-mis

25 Mattpat11   ~  Jun 13, 2011 8:45 pm

And really, why would we think the Yankees would hit a mediocre changeup artist they've never seen?

26 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 8:46 pm

bollocks. we're totally letting this kid off the hook.

and now he's making sutcliffe look good with that "if he can get outta this, he can throw 5 or 6 shutout innings" bullshit. Sut's a douche.

27 Mattpat11   ~  Jun 13, 2011 8:47 pm

Oh no

28 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 8:48 pm

motherfucker.

jeter's out of the game.

FUCK!!!!!

29 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 8:51 pm

nice play Tex!

i'm kinda tired of people around the game saying his defense is overrated and he's barely an average fielder. his glove is golden, baby!

30 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 8:52 pm

early speculation on jetes is it's a calf injury...

31 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 8:54 pm

jesus, alex. what a crappy at-bat.

32 NYYfan22   ~  Jun 13, 2011 8:55 pm

morning fellers.

what happened to Jeter?

33 Just Fair   ~  Jun 13, 2011 8:56 pm

[30] We'll have to find out where OYF poked his Jeter voodoo doll. ; )

34 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 8:58 pm

of course, the 4-letter network puts a fucking boston homer as the main announcer. and then pairs him up w/ Sut. yeesh...

35 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:03 pm

What I miss?? Still no Score Truck sightings?

36 Mattpat11   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:04 pm

Francisco Cervelli fucking sucks

37 NYYfan22   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:04 pm

Waldman: Jeter has a sore right calf.

38 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:04 pm

jesus. another wild pitch strikeout. runner reached...

i hate when that happens to us.

barry foote would be a better choice than frankie brains, at this point...

39 NYYfan22   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:05 pm

[37] well, then Sterling said sore left calf. So it's one of those two.

40 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:06 pm

lohud has right calf. i'll go with that.

unless it's Manny. then, it could be neither one!

41 Just Fair   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:07 pm

The Yanks O must not waste this good performance from AJ.

42 Mattpat11   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:11 pm

If nothing else, this game is moving along.

43 Diane Firstman   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:12 pm

I bet the Twins would take Cervelli in a heartbeat. I wonder what they could give us back (a bag of balls)?

44 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:12 pm

[35] let's see...

bases loaded, no outs in the 1st. no runs
2 on, no outs in the 2nd. no runs.
high pitch count early on for Cy Carrasco. he's still pitching.
jeter got 1 hit. now he's hurt.
minka kelly looks *fabulous*
espn announcer is from boston and isn't shy about it.
sutcliffe is a moron.

i think that about covers it...

45 Mattpat11   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:13 pm

n jlo;,.p[]f=,omjlkt862.lk;o]?{,ik87vf4ook;lp

46 Just Fair   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:13 pm

boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Fucking retard.

47 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:13 pm

[35] oh yeah,

cervelli is completely useless

48 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:13 pm

good job, gritner. that's really good baseball.

STOP BUNTING!!!

49 Diane Firstman   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:14 pm

.196? Frankie is hitting .196?

50 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:14 pm

[44] Thanks thelarmis!
So bascially Minka was the highlight and Sutcliffe the lowlight of the game then?

51 Mattpat11   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:15 pm

Francisco Cervelli has compromising photos of Brian Cashman. That's the only possible explanation.

52 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:15 pm

i could strike cervelli out. with 1 pitch. and then my arm would fall off...

53 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:16 pm

[49] minka is definitely the highlight!

i'd say jetes getting hurt is by and far the low-light. : (

54 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:17 pm

I just don't get that Brett. You are a frustrating man to watch play baseball.

55 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:19 pm

[1] There's one of The Mick, too. And he carries a much bigger bat than Joltin' Joe.

56 NYYfan22   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:19 pm

[51] with 1 pitch. haha

57 Mattpat11   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:20 pm

[52] And then he'd pose and stare at you.

58 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:21 pm

i love lou brock. looking forward to the captain passing him...

59 Diane Firstman   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:23 pm

Kay went to Bronx Science? .... feh!

(Stuyvesant grad here)

60 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:23 pm

aj really is throwing a gem.

61 Mattpat11   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:23 pm

[60] This kind of reminds me of the Bullington game, with a better pitcher

62 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:23 pm

[59] did you see neil peart's drum solo on letterman last week? it was thursday nite, methinks.

63 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:24 pm

1 more out AJ...

64 Diane Firstman   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:25 pm

[62]

its in my youtube queue :-)

65 Mattpat11   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:27 pm

Its just a small miracle that Cervelli fucking caught the ball there.

66 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:28 pm

[64] i should've known! my brother really liked it. i thought it was really crappy, but that's just me. i love neil dearly, but i've never really liked his solos. just a professional opinion, nothing bad...

67 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:29 pm

aj did good. our offense did the opposite of that...

68 Just Fair   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:29 pm

Man, AJ went 8 vs. the White Sox in April and gave up 1 run. He lost that one, too.
He doesn't need another hard luck loss.

69 NYYfan22   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:30 pm

[66] did he quote the rhythm method thing with the woodblocks?

deet deet, doot doot. deet deet, doot doot. deet deet, doot doot, doo, dowt dowt, bloot bloot, digidigide. (etc)

70 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:33 pm

[69] i know *exactly* which part you speak of! i dig that part : )

nope, didn't quote that. he was forced to cut out his current 8 minute solo in half. took out all improv parts and some other stuff. he still has sections from the past, but some new stuff, too. it's really rather insipid...

71 Mattpat11   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:33 pm

Remember when Adrubal Cabrera used to wear a pearl necklace? He looked like Lisa Simpson.

72 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:34 pm

amazing that the shit sox didn't play tonight, yet still scored in the double digits. fat fuk hit a 7-run homer in the 1st AND 2nd inning...

73 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:35 pm

[71] i call him "ass dribble".

um, now i have a comment awaiting moderation. didn't say anything too bad. plus, i thought we could curse here now. hell, i didn't even spell the curse word correctly and word press STILL dicked me over... : /

74 Diane Firstman   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:36 pm

I want Sipp to face Nick ....
"Sipp .... Swish ... then spit"

75 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:38 pm

damn you, brantley!

76 Mattpat11   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:40 pm

Hey Michael Kay, you fucking imbecile, when one fielder has his glove up and is waving off the other one, HES PROBABLY GONNA CATCH IT.

77 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:43 pm

good ab, alex.

c'mon cano!

78 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:44 pm

crap.

79 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:46 pm

dan uggla has a 181/254/325 slash line here in atlanta. and let's just say he doesn't play the keystone as smoothly as robbie.

OUCH!

80 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:53 pm

I smell a pie! Let's go COMEBACK!

81 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:55 pm

they need to show a different camera view of the check swing. it did NOT look like he went. and we know cb bucknor is a CRAPPY ump...

82 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:58 pm

Ugh.

83 thelarmis   ~  Jun 13, 2011 9:59 pm

christ almighty.

84 Diane Firstman   ~  Jun 13, 2011 10:00 pm

argh

85 RagingTartabull   ~  Jun 13, 2011 10:10 pm

that was just an annoying 3 hours
