They say it may rain today. I say bring it on.
In the meantime: Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Gio is tough.
Blargh.
Well this sucks.
God fucking dammit.
Excellent.
Mr. Jones sure doesn't get cheated on his swings, does he?
Dammit Laird, you've got to tag on that.
Good to flip over to the Red Sox game as soon as the double play happened to see the Sox take a 5-2 lead. The Mariners are a disaster.
Nune5!!!
Nuney!
Nunie! 7) Yeah, watch them take two of three against the Yanks. Ugh.
[10] Your pessimism knows no bounds. ; )
Uh, you don't have to use the entire ballpark to get outs, Bart.
Just saying.
Your out poindexter! Exciting play.
[13] You're. Rats.
Curtis is The Man!
I <3 Granderson!
Robbie, don't cadillac it for cripes sakes.
Can Soriano's ego handle a demotion from the eight inning to the seventh inning? I mean, after al, he was promoted from closer to the most important job in all of baseball, The Eighth Inning Guy. But then to be bumped all the way down to the Seventh Inning Guy, I don't know. Maybe they could make him the Sixth Inning Guy instead...he might take that news better.
Here's your rain, you NYC guys!
[18] Just tell him that the 7th is the 8th inning's 8th inning.
Or the all important 19th, 20th, 21st out guy.
Uh-oh.
[21] The seventh inning is the new eight inning?
C'mon Mo, shut this thing down.
Broken bat ground ball. Is there anything finer?
[23] Exactly!
SO nice to have speed on the team again.
Why would the SS *not* come home with that ground ball? even if he bobbled it and had little chance, it is still worth gambling to prevent the lead from growing to three runs. I wonder the difference in win expectancy?
Ooh, defensive replacements...full-on Chessmaster mode.
C'mon Mo, can't let this one get away.
That third run is looking bigger and bigger.
Uh, this is nerve wracking now.
Jesus, he was playing deep.
Shit.
Why the hell was Gardner playing so deep?
That works.
All Rise.
And ... exhale.
Oh, you area tricky one, Mariano Rivera.
[35] No doubles.
Fuckin' A.
LOL
[39] Yeah, but as O'Neill said, that's really stupid (sehr dumm, auf Deutsch) with Mo' pitching.
Strange game, but we'll take it!
[41] True, but you can't be a Chessmaster unless you move pieces ...
[43] Indeed! Der Chessmaster ist ein übermench, aber ich bin nicht.
