The Yanks will have nobody to blame but themselves if they don’t win the American League East. Yeah, they are facing Felix Hernandez tonight but you gotta figure they should win this series against the Mariners.
Up all night, we cheer:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Romine gets his first start behind the plate.
Go get 'em, rook!
Gonna be optimistic tonight
hi team.
[2] Full moon?
I love King Felix but why does it seem like we face him 36 times every season?
Felix Hernandez has been outstanding in his last three starts (3-0 with a 1.17 ERA), the last two of which were against the Angels. -- ESPN.com
[4] there IS a full moon. it's beautiful! : )
ah, this guy ain't so good. i mean, he's only struck out half the batters he's faced!
[5] Truthfully, what can be said about a King Felix vs the corpse of Phil Hughes matchup that isn't obvious? Maybe Felix will get a stomach bug or something before the night's over.
Somehow, I have a feeling we're going to be seeing a lot more innings like that one for the rest of the night ...
[7] Man, love watching him pitch.
Hey thelarmis, I got this cable channel over here that plays vintage live jazz gigs every night at 8pm. Saw Buddy Rich big band from the 70s recently, super swinging and funky. Last night was live Wes Montgomery.
[8] "Drinks on the house?"
Eduardo Nunez: Sticking point.
[12] Thankfully ...
[10] yeah, i'm a king felix fan, too. not tonight though. and, unfortunately, i can't see the game. i'm finishing dinner, listening to the braves game on the radio. extra innings vs. the fish.
super cool about that jazz channel, hell yeah! buddy rich...no words, just WOW!!!
hey, my website is a lot closer to being done. i'm gonna do a coupla quick things in a little bit, but go check it out again - it's a lot more done up than when you were last there.
oh, and also - i got the fusion CD for you. i'll throw it is as a freebie when you buy my disc! : )
[13] It might wind up being his biggest contribution to the team.
holy fuck. pujols is gonna reach .300/30/100 yet again. he started so slowly, then got hurt. he already has 35 homers. batting .298 w/ 92 steaks. damn, son.
[14] Whats the url?
Not bad for a first big league AB against Felix
Bust!
I don't remember the last time I heard Safeco this lively. Has to be almost ten years
you guys see Manny was arrested on domestic battery charges. just awful.

Well, that's 1 more run than I expected we'd score ...
I love Mattpat's version of [2] "optimism", e.g. [8].
Just dropping in -- very early day tomorrow for me.
Go Phil!
[17] i'm gonna link my name here to it real soon. like you have your name underlined and it takes you to your twitter page. i'm not sure how to do it, but i'll get to it soon.
coupla last minute alterations i wanna make at the site. i'll still be adding audio and more in the coming weeks and months, but it'll be good to go super soon.
also, i have to wait for RI to be around before i link it and reveal myself, otherwise he'll get mad at me! : )
[24] If you click "dashboard" at the top of the screen, and then "profile" you'll find a box for it
[23] crap. you're not supposed to be here tonight. see [24].
early morning? oh good. go git. yer outta here!
i actually have to teach earlier tomorrow than normal. late to most people, but not to me. thankful for the work though and i'll get done earlier...
sov gott, RI
[25] oh, thanks man!
when i put in the web addy, will it automatically turn my name blue, with an underline and link it or do you have to change the 'admin color scheme'?
Frankie's Brain, from lohud:
CERVELLI UPDATE: Just a few minutes ago, the Yankees emailed this update on Francisco Cervelli:
Cervelli was seen today by Dr. Kirk Roberts—a neurologist at NY Presbyterian Hospital specializing in concussion syndromes. He was diagnosed with a concussion, but MRI results were negative. Cervelli is home resting. There is no immediate timetable for his return. All baseball related activities have been suspended.
I think it should do it automatically.
[29] cool. thanking you. we'll find out soon!
Does anyone know Hughes' ERA in innings after the Yankees score? It has to be horrible.
You get what you deserve when you walk Brendan FREAKING Ryan ...
that ichiro single was a forgone conclusion...
hughes just showing that he can match king felix
pitch for pitchrun for run.Tesh went BOOM!
Tex!!!
that's really nice to see. even if it's just the computer screen...
a veritable rally!
GRITNER!!!
now steal 3rd, then score!
Wow, stepped away for 20mins and they went cracklecrackle boomboom!
thelarmis, I'm order the cd tonight from home!
Kaboom!
Well, this game has gone differently than I expected.
Hughes had better not spit the fucking bit.
Sweet dick anyone?
RALLY KILLER!!!
chris fucking dickerson. how bout it?!
phil better protect this lead!!!
[39] cool, thanks bro! i'll be mailing packages out friday. it'll prolly take a week to get to you. lemme know what ya think of the updated site!
I approve of that inning
homerun javy now pinch running here in atlanta in the 12th...
The Hughes Car. It can go from 0-2 to 3-2 in seconds flat. Then a walk. Mother fucker!
[24] Eric?
Let's see if Hughes can put a zero up. If he does this inning, everyone take a deep breath.
Tampa won again. The blood is draining from RSN.
Romaine looks good behind the plate. Hopefully it's helping Hughes.
Lettuce praise him.
Where is everybody?
Who would have thought the Yankees would get their bats right against Felix?
[21} That is sad. All will jump in an say roid rage, but it might be; what does Manny do in retirement?
Uh, HOOK, please!
Hughes really can't help but suck, can he?
That was strike three.
I love that they're talking about isolated power on TV, even if they are making fun of (their ignorance of) it.
Philip!
Dodged one, time for the bullpen.
Hooray!
Austin #1!
Sure would be nice to get CG going again ...
That's a start.
Weak.
C'mon Robbie!
[42] Sweetback would be catchier... >;)
30 pitches for ONE out! so far...
Whaddya know!
Amazing that Robbie can drive a hard, low outside pitch that well!
SLASHER!
I didn't think he hit that nearly that well ... but I'll take it!
man is robbie sooo awesome!!!
i want DOUBLE DIGITS!!
[63] Sweet Dick Willie doesn't agree..
"Why they call you Sweet Dick anyways?" "Your wife can tell you.>"
Great.
Scott Proctor is warming.
Wouldn't this be the perfect chance to give someone like, say, Betances a look?
Is this game ProctorProof?
Oooh, we've got Brackman warming.
Nice.
Cool... we should see Brackman this game.
[72] Common Dude... come up with an original thought...
Last 10 games for the Yankees:7 vs TB
3 vs RS
That could be interesting if those two teams are still competing for the wild card...
Well done, Gritty!
Gritner makes it look so easy.
Oooh, now it's Betances warming.
C'mon Joe, give the kids a chance!
BTW, shouldn't Swisher be out of the game at 1st and either Cletus or Jesus in the game?
Great, thanks, more fucking Proctor.
Dammit ... that close.
Fucking brilliant, JoeyJoeJoe.
get this goddamn motherfucker off my fucking team!!!
Brackman for the 9th?
[83] Glad I'm not the only one.
I like Scott Proctor.
I wish him success in his career, but giving him ANY innings at this point is simply a wasted opportunity and misapplication of resources.
This was the perfect game to take a chance and see whether Brackman or Betances might have something to offer the team this year AND to let them get their feet wet, looking ahead for 2012.
Instead we get Proctor and Ayala.
Fucking brilliant ...
[84] My other least favorite Yankees pitcher, Luis Ayala is warming ...
In the past week, the Yankees have faced a killer and a rapist
[87] Now, now, technically, it was only "false imprisonment with violence" ...
Oh look, Luis Ayala.
Yay.
Awesome.
This is true
Oh, look, Laffey
Swisher has a decent glove at 1B.
Well, I didn't see a 9-3 smackdown of King Felix coming, but now I'm greedy for the rest of the series.
I want a sweep!
proctor and ayala?!
and no pinch hitters?
fuck.
but also YAY in beating felix and winning by a half-dozen runs!
