Oh great, more crap.

2 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 16, 2011 1:30 pm

DRIVEN!

3 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 16, 2011 1:35 pm

GRITNER!

That was a nice swing to behold.

C'mon Nuney.

4 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 16, 2011 1:36 pm

Well, that was ok ...

5 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 16, 2011 1:54 pm

C'mon Cornflake!

6 RIYank   ~  Jul 16, 2011 1:55 pm

Attarob.

7 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:01 pm

I'll just pretend that's the way we drew it up in the dugout ...

8 RIYank   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:01 pm

That is so pleasant when the other team does it.

9 RIYank   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:02 pm

Hey, where's monkeypants? It's 8 pm in Dresden.

10 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:05 pm

My god, this poor guy. It's embarrassing, already. He's like a little leaguer out there.

11 Just Fair   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:05 pm

Nunez! Cripes!

12 RIYank   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:06 pm

6 weeks till A-Rod comes back, huh?

13 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:07 pm

[10] Lemme guess ... Nuney?

14 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:08 pm

[13] Maybe that should be NunEE

15 RIYank   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:08 pm

Ahhhhh.
Rob bails out Nuñez.

16 RIYank   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:09 pm

[14]

Nuñe5

17 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:13 pm

Wow!

How did that fall?

Where the hell was the centerfielder playing?

Oh, ok, now it doesn't look so bad, it would have fallen anyway, but the centerfielder still seems to have been quite deep for Brett.

18 Just Fair   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:13 pm

Go Go Gardy.

19 RIYank   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:14 pm

Heh.
Brett is fun.

20 seamus   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:14 pm

nice aggressiveness from Gardy!!

21 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:15 pm

[16] With this typeset, that's perfect!

22 RIYank   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:15 pm

Ummmm.

That was a dumb play. But, probably not too costly.

23 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:17 pm

Good work, Derek!

24 RIYank   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:17 pm

But now looking costlier.

25 seamus   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:17 pm

OMG he launched that!

26 RIYank   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:18 pm

Oh, man, I'm waaaayyyy behind you guys. Saw [23] a good 45 seconds before Jeter got the run in.

27 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:19 pm

[26] Greetings from the future, Earthling!

28 seamus   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:20 pm

[26] We are all watching in the TARDIS.

29 RIYank   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:20 pm

[25] WTF was that? After I saw it I was eagerly awaiting a Granderson home run.
:-)

I'd better put my Banter refresh on 60 second delay.

30 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:21 pm

I remember Neikro's 300th win. Must be my earliest memory of that particular baseball milestone.

31 seamus   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:22 pm

[29] oops sorry.

32 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:23 pm

I just remember how happy he was, which was out of character for him. He was this ancient, crotchety old bag-of-bones and suddenly there he was, smiling like it was Christmas.

33 Just Fair   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:27 pm

Heyhey, The DP helps out big time.

34 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:27 pm

I swear to god I thought he was going to throw the ball over Cano's head, with that lollypop.

He just can't throw the baseball, plain and simple.

35 RIYank   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:27 pm

Can't predict baseball.

36 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:29 pm

[34] He just can't throw the baseball when's he got any time to think about it ...

37 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:33 pm

Look who worked a walk!

Well, he didn't "work" it so much as had it forced upon him.

38 RIYank   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:34 pm

[37] Some are born on first, some achieve baserunnerhood, and some have baserunnerhood forced upon them.

39 RIYank   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:36 pm

I wonder if Romero will finish this inning.

40 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:43 pm

[39] Yup, but no more ...

41 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:44 pm

Damn, CC's only at 56 pitches ...

42 RIYank   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:48 pm

[41] Yeah, he's on CG pace.

43 Just Fair   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:48 pm

[41] Our old friend Jeff Karstens had a complete game win for the Pirates yesterday with only 83 pitches vs. the Astros.

44 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:49 pm

I <3 CC!

45 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:49 pm

[43] Scary Fly Ball Guy!

46 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:51 pm

[44] But not as much as I <3 Gritner!

47 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:51 pm

Steal ... THEN bunt.

48 RIYank   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:52 pm

I can't wait for Weeping to post about that bunt. He has to stop weeping for joy first, so I'll give him a minute.

49 RIYank   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:52 pm

[47] No, forget the bunt.

50 RIYank   ~  Jul 16, 2011 2:53 pm

Shoulda bunted.

51 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jul 16, 2011 3:02 pm

[38] LOL!

Very, very nice.

52 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jul 16, 2011 3:03 pm

[48] Sadly, I missed it. Been in and out of the game.

53 RIYank   ~  Jul 16, 2011 3:06 pm

[52] Ah, well, it was like Curtis's, but better.

54 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 16, 2011 3:16 pm

The Big Man is BRINGING it right now ...

55 RIYank   ~  Jul 16, 2011 3:22 pm

Mmmmmmmmm.

56 Just Fair   ~  Jul 16, 2011 3:37 pm

Nice play by Jeter.

57 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 16, 2011 3:39 pm

Decision, what decision?

Bring in Mo.

It's a long fucking season, do the prudent thing.

58 rbj   ~  Jul 16, 2011 3:39 pm

CG for CC, or Mo for the save?

59 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 16, 2011 3:41 pm

[58] see [57]

60 RIYank   ~  Jul 16, 2011 3:41 pm

[57] Hm, it's a long season for both of them, though. I don't think it's such an easy decision.

61 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 16, 2011 3:41 pm

Besides, when did Mo last pitch? Sunday?

62 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 16, 2011 3:42 pm

[60] Yeah, but only 1 of them has already thrown 110 pitches today, though, so no, I don't think it is.

63 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 16, 2011 3:42 pm

[62] Or rather, I *do* think it's an easy decision, a very easy decision.

64 RIYank   ~  Jul 16, 2011 3:44 pm

But another dozen pitches for CC might be less stress on him than a dozen for Mariano. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's true.

I'm not against the move, but it's a close call.

65 Just Fair   ~  Jul 16, 2011 3:45 pm

i had a dream last night about Angelina Jolie
Different kind of dream
-David Cone.
lol...

66 RIYank   ~  Jul 16, 2011 3:56 pm

Ahhhhh.

67 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jul 16, 2011 3:56 pm

Mariano Rivera backwards K.

Rapturous.

68 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 16, 2011 3:56 pm

Oh, yeah, MOzone!

69 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jul 16, 2011 3:57 pm

That was very good hitting.

70 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jul 16, 2011 3:58 pm

Gun registered 94 on that.

Is his velocity up this year?

71 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jul 16, 2011 3:58 pm

Fucking circus-clown turf.

72 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 16, 2011 3:59 pm

Gah. Grrr. Blooposity.

73 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 16, 2011 4:01 pm

[71] Not really, but he's STRONG LIKE BULL coming out of the All Star break ... time off will do that.

74 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jul 16, 2011 4:01 pm

God, I love how this man comes set. It's just so smooth, so fluid, so graceful.

75 rbj   ~  Jul 16, 2011 4:01 pm

I don't want interesting, I want a W.

76 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jul 16, 2011 4:02 pm

OHHHHH!

77 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jul 16, 2011 4:03 pm

Strike one...

78 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jul 16, 2011 4:03 pm

Fuck!

Strike two.

79 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jul 16, 2011 4:04 pm

Fuck, Mo is on fire today...

One more...

80 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jul 16, 2011 4:04 pm

Juuust missed...

81 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jul 16, 2011 4:05 pm

Mariano Rivera, ladies and gentlemen. Mariano Rivera.

82 Just Fair   ~  Jul 16, 2011 4:05 pm

All rise.

83 RIYank   ~  Jul 16, 2011 4:05 pm

Thanks be to Mo.

84 rbj   ~  Jul 16, 2011 4:05 pm

Much better.

85 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 16, 2011 4:09 pm

All praise to Mo.

86 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 16, 2011 4:45 pm

Oh, and, Nune5, your time is coming, Chavez is scheduled to DH in a minor league game as soon as Tuesday ...
