The good news is that we all made it through the hurricane. The bad news is that "all" includes AJ.

2 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 28, 2011 7:43 pm

No Jeter tonight, late scratch.

3 rbj   ~  Aug 28, 2011 7:44 pm

Shoot, the game's not on Extra Innings, so no game for me.

4 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 28, 2011 7:44 pm

Ugly ab for Cano with a man on second, swinging at two pitches at his eyes.

Hi Banterers.

No electricity at my house. I'm off taking care of my essential communications, and checking in on the depressing baseball day. Ugh. Well, good that Colon can pitch again, I guess.

The RIYank family is just fine, but I'm a little worried that it might take days to get our power back -- half of the state lost power.

Hold the fort in my absence!

6 thelarmis   ~  Aug 28, 2011 7:49 pm

[5] glad you and yours are ok!!!

get the power back soon, we'll keep a light on for ya here! : )

7 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 28, 2011 7:50 pm

Right knee contusion for Jeter. 1-0 O's--double, passed ball, sac fly.

8 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 28, 2011 7:51 pm

5) Hang in there, my friend!

9 Mattpat11   ~  Aug 28, 2011 7:55 pm

Oh look, the Yankees are losing again

10 Mattpat11   ~  Aug 28, 2011 8:01 pm

Rapidly losing patience.

11 thelarmis   ~  Aug 28, 2011 8:02 pm

that pretty much negated andruw's working of the count...

we're still being shutout on the entire day.

12 Mattpat11   ~  Aug 28, 2011 8:07 pm

Hmm.

13 mhoward120   ~  Aug 28, 2011 8:07 pm

Yankees look more impotent than Irene

14 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 28, 2011 8:07 pm

Jeeesus fucking Christ.

15 Mattpat11   ~  Aug 28, 2011 8:08 pm

[11] And looking *real* bad while at it.

16 rbj   ~  Aug 28, 2011 8:16 pm

[5] Same boat as my parents, but everything else is fine. Their biggest complaint is lack of internet access, which is a fine problem to have. They've got a grill & generator for the freezer.

[10] Come, friend, join me and step out of the rage cage. With the game blacked out on MLB.tv, I'm watching Angels vs Rangers ... and I am strangely at peace.

18 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 28, 2011 8:24 pm

17) Better than watching Gardner struggle though he just worked a walk and had a good at bat.

19 mhoward120   ~  Aug 28, 2011 8:25 pm

Grandyman!!!

20 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 28, 2011 8:26 pm

Kind of GRANDISH!

21 thelarmis   ~  Aug 28, 2011 8:26 pm

oh, that's GRAND!!!

22 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 28, 2011 8:27 pm

Well, clearly, my decision to not follow the game is already paying dividends ... so I will continue to not do so!

23 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 28, 2011 8:27 pm

Grandy tied for the AL league lead in HRs. 106 RBI.

24 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 28, 2011 8:30 pm

Meanwhile, down in Texas, it's the 24th time this year the Rangers have played a game where the temperature was > 100 degrees at the start.

25 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 28, 2011 8:31 pm

Let's GO NOVA.

26 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 28, 2011 8:31 pm

Uh, not like that.

27 Just Fair   ~  Aug 28, 2011 8:32 pm

I love when I when I comment on the game on the wrong thread. lol....

28 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 28, 2011 8:35 pm

Welp, easy come, easy go...

29 thelarmis   ~  Aug 28, 2011 8:35 pm

well, that sucks.

30 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 28, 2011 8:50 pm

cheap ass, one out hit.

31 Just Fair   ~  Aug 28, 2011 9:15 pm

[24] I was in Dallas last month and it was 99 degrees past midnight. Simply ridiculous. It was like trying to breath with a hot damp wash cloth over your mouth.

32 Just Fair   ~  Aug 28, 2011 9:16 pm

Robinson! Whoo-hoo!

33 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 28, 2011 9:16 pm

Fuggin A

34 thelarmis   ~  Aug 28, 2011 9:18 pm

ca-YES!

35 Just Fair   ~  Aug 28, 2011 9:19 pm

I guess these guys just collectively decide they are going to take some games off. Ala this afternoon. ; )

36 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 28, 2011 9:19 pm

Delishious.

37 thelarmis   ~  Aug 28, 2011 9:19 pm

SWISH-A-LICIOUS!!!

38 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 28, 2011 9:19 pm

43 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 28, 2011 9:24 pm

Good for Russ. He's been stinging the ball all night with nothing to show for it.

44 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 28, 2011 9:29 pm

[31] My sister lives up by the Oklahoma border. I think it's gotten over 100 every day except for 1 in the last 3 months.

Just insane.

Meanwhile, good things keep happening while I'm away, so ... I'm away again!

Go Yanks!!!

45 thelarmis   ~  Aug 28, 2011 9:32 pm

i was in the southwest desert for 2 weeks on this tour and it was easily over 100 degrees every friggin' day. it was just brutal. it was awful in the midwest when i was there, too. i don't know how people live in the desert. i couldn't take the heat...

[44] yeah, i was gonna text you to let you know what was goin' on. but you've got a pretty good game happening there. i'll check in again soon...

46 thelarmis   ~  Aug 28, 2011 9:36 pm

Bossa Nova!

47 Just Fair   ~  Aug 28, 2011 9:40 pm

MoDamn Curtis! You the fucking man!

48 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 28, 2011 9:40 pm
