What up gang? OT Yankee stuff but you you just can't pass up watching some unknown dude launching one out of Great American Ballpark. There seems to be quite a debate over whether or not it was the longest homer of the year. Still, Modamn! Go Yankees!

Longoria goes deep, 2-1 Rays.

However, the Sox go back-to-back and lead 6-5.

3 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 13, 2011 8:48 pm

[1] That link won't work for me.

4 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 13, 2011 8:57 pm

Do the Jays have a manager and pitching coach? Or is Morrow going to be allowed to give up 25 runs tonight?

5 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 9:01 pm

looks like i was 'too late' to the "too late?" thread. doesn't seem to have carried over to here...

[1] holy fuck. that ball is still in orbit. was just a solo shot, but i don't see how they don't count it as at least 2 runs...

[3] hmmm. link worked fine for me. you had a problem with my email link that works fine, too. could it be something on your end to check?

[2] i went to check the score when they were losing 5-4. didn't look at it, then when i did, it was 6-5. ugh.

6 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 9:03 pm

mccan just crushed a 3-run shot...

[4] looks like the toronto manager (who the hell is there now? i forget and don't care really...too tired.), put in the equivalent of proctor. i'm sure it'll be 7-5 in no time...

7 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 13, 2011 9:05 pm

[5] Worked now! I think I just had to reload the page.

8 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 9:05 pm

CMW gave up 9 hits and 2 runs to the Muts in 5 innings. 4k, 0bb. 72 pitches, 46 strikes.

oh look - it's now 7-5...

9 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 9:06 pm

[7] sweet!

10 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 13, 2011 9:06 pm

Did Remy just say "The Red Sox put the tarp on!"? "Tap on"?

11 Alex Belth   ~  Sep 13, 2011 9:06 pm

Holy Crud, that was some blast.

12 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 13, 2011 9:07 pm

[5] 10-5.

The Dust Mite goes deep for the 2nd time.

13 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 13, 2011 9:08 pm

Orioles have tied the Rays, 2-2.

Could be a big night in the East ...

14 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 13, 2011 9:09 pm

[12] Another 295ft Green Monster tater?

15 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 9:10 pm

motherfucker.

shit sox go double digits, double up toronto and balltumor tied tampon.

to add insult to injury, my little midget fucker has gone yard twice and is now 20-20 this season. i hate that.

16 RIYank   ~  Sep 13, 2011 9:12 pm

Damn, Wakey is going to get his W!

17 Chyll Will   ~  Sep 13, 2011 9:12 pm

[8] It's the Mutts, so it proves very very little...

18 RIYank   ~  Sep 13, 2011 9:13 pm

[15] On the other hand, Papi is out with back spasms.

19 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 9:17 pm

[18] yeah, but fuckett seems to be fine, ugly is playing, my little slump is apparently ovah and salty has power...

20 Just Fair   ~  Sep 13, 2011 9:18 pm

When I drove to Texas with my sister this summer we went right over the bridge next to that park in Cincincatti. There's something a tad depressing about being in Cincinatti, Ohio one second and Kentucky the next.

21 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 9:18 pm

why is tito wasting vulture in a 5-run game? he and GI Joe must be friends...

22 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 13, 2011 9:21 pm

Damn, Reynolds snagged a clear double down the line.

23 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 9:23 pm

chipper jones is good at the baseball.

24 RIYank   ~  Sep 13, 2011 9:24 pm

[19] I dunno, I think the Big Jew is hurting. And we'll see about Beckett, could go either way. My Little Slumpy is regressing, as expected, yeah. But their pitching... Look what they have to get from their offense to get the W.

Anyway, enough thinking about the Red Sox. If the suicide watch is over then I've lost interest.

25 RIYank   ~  Sep 13, 2011 9:25 pm

[23] Yeah, if you put him and Eduardo Nuñez together, you would have a really good third baseman! If you took Nuñez out.

26 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 13, 2011 9:29 pm

Well, Rays had better sack it up and keep serve, Sox are winning this one tonight ...

27 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 9:31 pm

RI - you ready?

28 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 13, 2011 9:37 pm

[26] Serving up a 2 run tater to Matt Wieters was *not* what I had in mind ...

29 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 13, 2011 9:41 pm

That might be it for the Rays.

30 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 9:53 pm

i'm really glad aj is pitching tonight. i like him quite a bit. i think it's the tattoos, they're rather endearing. i wish he'd get one on his neck. or maybe it's just the pinpoint control.

either way, i think he's an ace. or 1-A type pitcher. i have a lot of faith in him. he's a competitor. he battles. basically, he's a pitcher. no, better yet - he's a baseball player.

one of the best of all-time and certainly my favorite yankee. ever.

31 OldYanksFan   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:01 pm

Sox at 17 runs and counting.

32 OldYanksFan   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:02 pm

Sox at 18 runs and counting.

33 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:02 pm

[30] I hear ya. Actually, I'm just so glad Joe Girardi is our manager. I really love his roster usage, especially his willingness to use young. strong arms rather than retread veterans in the bullpen. His binder is such a charming, quirky thing too. Really adds to Joe's easy, smiley charm on the bench.

34 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:05 pm

18-5 romper for the Red Sox.

200th win for Wakefield.

The Nation unclenches it's collective asshole ...

35 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:11 pm

Cack.

36 Just Fair   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:12 pm

Had Jeter seen Furbush before?

37 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:15 pm

Oh boy, the AJ Burnett show, here we go!

38 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:20 pm

Sigh. It begins ...

39 Just Fair   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:21 pm

Oh, AJ.

40 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:21 pm

atta boy, aj. way to put him away!

at least the no hitter is still in tact.

41 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:28 pm

my favorite yankee!

he kinda reminds me of a right-handed guidry.

i like this guy a lot. looking forward to seeing him not only in the playoffs, but the next 2 seasons, as well.

42 Just Fair   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:32 pm

Robinson!

43 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:32 pm

i wish i could see him play live every night.

Bob Seger playing 3rd for the Ms tonight?

47 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:34 pm

this pitcher has an unfortunate name.

furry busy. i mean, that was sooo 70's...

48 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:35 pm

[47] oy!

furry bush

bush. bush. bush.

it's been a long day. i'm exhausted...

49 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:36 pm

[45] i LOVE the rajun cajun. always have...

he's a drummer, ya know!

50 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:36 pm

[46] he was in the stands at some ball game the other day, with his wife. can't remember which game. they showed him a coupla times. i wouldn't have recognized him if i killed him...

51 mhoward120   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:37 pm

O do we ever need these 2 runs

52 mhoward120   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:39 pm

That furry bush seems to be leaking a bit...

53 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:39 pm

Nunez can't catch or throw or hit

Ray Davies at Beacon 11/20; presale starts tomorrow.

59 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:43 pm

I've noticed that Cano claps his hands when he crosses the plate after an HR. Is that a hittable offense?

Those of you said Cervelli was over-zealous,please explain your position.

60 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:43 pm

i guess i went overboard on the furry bush and now i'm in moderation...

something about a hairy p***y.

stoopid word press...

61 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:45 pm

[60] i've been noticing just about every hitter on every team doing that lately. i see nothing wrong with it and brains was fine. plus - fuck the shit sox.

they do a ton of antics, in general, look gross and hit a ton of batters. they also whine. they deserve tony la russa as their skipper...

62 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:45 pm

Is AJ ever capable of putting up a zero after his team scores?

63 mhoward120   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:46 pm

(60) Don't be concerned - we all know that AJ stinks worse that the dirtiest furry bush

64 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:46 pm

[46] I guess Betty Lou's gettin' out tonight.

65 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:47 pm

in his bid for his 20th win, IPK just gave up 4 runs on 5 hits and 41 pitches (!!!) in the 1st...

in his bid to having his # retired and a monument, aj gives up a leadoff double. douchelord.

66 Just Fair   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:47 pm

[60] I tried in [36] but no one noticed. ; )

67 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:48 pm

that wild pitch thing is a really neat trick. i'm glad he throws one in there EVERY FUCKING INNING, for good measure. screw this guy...

68 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:49 pm

[61] I don't either. But a few Banter dignitaries, I think even Alex, mentioned that Cervelli's antics were uncalled for.

69 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:51 pm

70 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:52 pm

AJ Burnett in a nutshell.

Get the important K then blow the effort against the 9 hitter.

73 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Sep 13, 2011 10:52 pm

[62] Guess not.

AJ starting a 10 PM game. Don't think I'm long for this.

Furbush must be a tough dude, defending his sister's honor growing up.

[72] Nutshell for a nutcase?

77 Just Fair   ~  Sep 13, 2011 11:00 pm

[68] On his 1st homer, Montero did a Mini-Sammy and clapped his hands right after crossing home plate.
No one gave a shit about that one.

leadoff double - aj's new thing.

followed by a walk.

here comes the wild pitch...

then - there goes the lead...

80 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 13, 2011 11:05 pm

Hey ... how about somebody goes out and check's on AJ's arm???

Goddammit.

GO TO THE MOUND.

81 Just Fair   ~  Sep 13, 2011 11:05 pm

Well he got 6 outs at least.

83 OldYanksFan   ~  Sep 13, 2011 11:09 pm

Are the Yankees allow to send AJ to the minors?

84 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 11:09 pm

pinpoint control, baby.

it's very greg maddux like...

85 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 11:09 pm

OYF - how 'bout Japan?!

86 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 11:12 pm

there's still time to give up the lead.

maybe another walk, hit batsmen and wild pitch.

the order doesn't matter...

87 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 11:13 pm

there's one...

88 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 13, 2011 11:13 pm

I'm sorry, I'm just not sure I can take this every 5 days for the next 2 years.

93 thelarmis   ~  Sep 13, 2011 11:15 pm

huh. that's kinda disappointing.

i was absolutely sure he was gonna walk him.

then, i was sorta curious what he'd come up with next...

94 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 13, 2011 11:15 pm

[91] Thankful he's the DH tonite?

95 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Sep 13, 2011 11:16 pm

Watching AJ is like curing one's gout by shooting your big toe off with a shot gun.

106 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Sep 13, 2011 11:24 pm

[102] Jones hit a hot grounder to second, and Jesus was tagged out straying too far off second. Jesus saves a run for the M's (probably).

107 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Sep 13, 2011 11:29 pm

goddamn 4-pitch leadoff walk. fucking headcase.

121 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Sep 14, 2011 12:01 am

The M's. Mike Carp (lf) kind of resembles Chris Elliott.

Cano must be fined heavily in kangaroo court for that brain lock. How is it possible that a baserunner does not know how many outs there are in an inning? Why wouldn't Mick Kelleher remind him when he's on first?

122 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 14, 2011 12:06 am

C'mon AJ, one more nasty curve.

123 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 14, 2011 12:06 am

Like THAT.

Nice recovery.

124 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Sep 14, 2011 12:10 am

Two runs in 6 innings. The Yankees would take that anytime from AJ. But against a team with some hitters, that game would have blown up 4 different times. Credit Martin with a large portion of this success by AJ.

125 thelarmis   ~  Sep 14, 2011 12:11 am

Hey, I'm still struggling with the advanced stats..why does My Little Pony have a much higher WAR than Cano when Robbie has more homers, doubles, RBI, and a higher slugging?

130 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 14, 2011 12:15 am

Well, here comes SoRoMo ... let's hope that head case #2 brings a good game tonight as well.

131 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Sep 14, 2011 12:16 am

[130] It's one of the few instances that Soriano is a "relief" to see.

133 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 14, 2011 12:21 am

[129] They've got about equal OPS+ based on Pedroia's considerable advantage in OBP, Pedroia's got more steals, fewer GiDPs, though I'm not sure how the formula weights all of the elements.

Pedroia also rates positive in dWAR, while Cano rates about average.
