Large and in charge, baby. Let's do it!

Tito officially gone from the Sox.

Classy, forthright guy, I think they'll miss him.

Let's GO!

[2] Long discussion of it in the previous thread.

[0] Cursing is allowed? Fuck the heck!! Let's get this fuckin party started, right!! Take it away ZAPP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6TgG_5IGc0

I can't believe the last Yanks-Tigers playoff match-up was 5 years ago. Where the hell does the time go? Oi! Lets's Go Yankees!

LET'S GO YAN-KEES!! !!!

i am sooo fucking pumped up for this game and series and postseason! i've got a good feeling for our pinstriped heroes! really looking forward to this, can't wait!

GO YANKS!!!

Hey, does anyone know how to watch this game online free? My son can't watch TBS and wants to see it. He'll shell out a few bucks to get the postseason.tv thing or whatever, but just wondering.

alex belth may allow cursing, but will word press?! sometimes i think they're protecting my virgin ears...

[6] that series reminds me of the kindergarten teacher i was dating. neither ended well... ; )

[9] I lost my "virgin ears" first time someone put on Coltrane's "Meditations"..but that's for another thread! Let's go CC!!

[8] i don't know anything for sure, but i do think there's something at mlb.com where you can 'buy' a single game.

i believe espn radio will be available online, but that certainly doesn't help with watching...

and per the thread rules, we can't bitch at each other... : p

[9] Damn teachers! They're a shifty bunch. Almost as bad as drummers!

[10] yeah man, that's a *serious* album!

would you believe that pharaoh is my great aunt?

[12] haha! imagine me - a drum teacher! oy and vey.

yeah, her father was actually a long-haired jewish drummer - even owned a cool drum shop here in town for awhile. i think that tripped her out a bit. she was a big baseball fan, as well. but not musical, so whatever...

we can swear? as my old man would said:

"Fuckin' A, Bubba."

Let's go Yanks.

[13] I remember a college gal of mine putting that one on when I was out, she thought it would be "soothing" as it was called "Meditations"..said she lasted about 45 seconds before shutting it off in fear..

Pharaoh your great aunt? Me no compute..

Verlander is toast this game, I am confident. Cano tater in the first will rattle him.

[16] that's *hilarious*!!!

oh, i just joke about that b/c of the last name. since everyone can see my real name if they just scroll the cursor over "thelarmis", i figured i can make that joke/connection...

Hey Jazz, I just found that Internatonal MLB TV subscribers don't have to buy the post season package. YAHOOOO!

C'mon Big Fella, need a big game performance here!

Alright Big Fella. Get ahead. Throw strikes.

i know it's friday night, but it's the PLAYOFFS!!!

where is everyone?????

i'm really amped up for this!!!

Good start.

Nice start!

I'm here :)

26 to go.

Yeah, don't be fooled by the 5 home runs ...

That'll do CC, that'll do.

CC!!!

That's two.

Ah, the slider.

[18] Git it on now! But got to head out for a job in 45mins, hope to make it back for the ending.

Go Go CC!

25 to go.

It it wrong to prefer Montero over Po at DH... even against RHP?

Delmon Young bats 3rd for the Tigers? We should sweep them!

Rudy G behind home plate...

Motherfucker!

Well, shit.

Hm. That was a surprise.

[31] Sheeet. My feed is fucked. I gotta take Sachi out for training anyway. Why are they still showing the mutherfarging Rays game.

Oh fuck, I am jinxing them already....gah.

Sabs!!!

Uh, no CC, not like that.

[35] Gross..

Cheapy NYS tater, nothing to worry about.

[34] I blame you.

[8] There are sites like this one.

What's that asshole Yankee fan raising his hand for. Fucking jagoff.

Crap.

[34] really?!

OK. One mistake. S'alright. Otherwise, C.C. looked strong.

and what's that chick wearing a fucking 'B' hat for? : /

[43] I'm leaving soon, don't worry. Bad mojo..maybe I shouldn't have cursed Rudy G :(

Yanks will score against Verlander tonight. Book it, Dano.

damnit the big man started so sharp. He's given up a lot of hrs recently - even though that one was a ys cheapie

50) Stop with your jinxing. C'mon, good vibes.

Winnine woulda caught that one. Swish is too damn short!

[54] Never mind the spelling Mr. David Winfield.

Make him throw pitches!

[50] You got it! Verlander 251 IP, a lot in this era..telling you Cano is going to go yard off him tonight.

[44] Thanks! That led to the firstrowsports.tv site, which works.

Ump giving the outside corner to Verlander. Not so good for us.

If verlandr gets that outside corner gonna be even harder to get to him.

verdouchey is definitely NOT jaime maggio.

Karma!

Nice, Jeet.

Oho!

That's how we're going to beat Verlander. Lots of strikeouts. Great strategy!

Derek Jeter, such a winner he knows to strike out on a WP so he can get to first.

Well there goes the perfect game.

Good hustle Cap'n

Walk him, Outlander.

good hustle, jete!

still, i wish he hadn't swung...or looked back when he started running.

The rain is falling.

[66] yeah, i guess that's true, right? i mean, it's not considered an error though...

This is a very True Outcomes game so far!

[70] Cano's about to rain on a fastball.

that was kinda high and outside...

Two on, no outs, Robby at the plate.

Not the time for rain, please.

[70] The Sky is Crying.

ooh, swung right thru it...

Nice. Ducks on the pond!

good eye!

[76] nice srv reference by rbj!

Bleh. Lucky enough.

Let's Go Al-ex!

double steal! rattle 'em!

i'll settle for a 2nd pitch rally killer : )

And here comes Alex, wow big AB already it seems.

Bah. Let's get a score truck appearance here arod.

TBS doesn't show pitch counts?

we'll take it.

That'll do.

tie the game, at the very least...

Man. The would have been a bang-bang play at the plate.

Shoot, missed that, had to put the dogs to bed.

This fucking strike zone is bullshit. Just bullshit.

We'll take it, but Gardner can do that shit.

[90] Jetes reached on a WP strike three, Curtis walked. Two weak fielding efforts by Tiggers collected outs without getting lead runners, so we got the run.

85) they do on the strike zone box

Wow, it is the fuck raining. Shit.

ok, i'm an idiot. i was wondering why everyone's comments seemed so far ahead of me. i know i'm slow and all, but...

just realized i had rewound the TB game earlier and never forwarded it to "live."

i'm all caught up now. carry on!

rain delay could be a disaster right now.

[79] Amazing guy what a loss. Have his 1982 & 1985 Montreux DVD.

[97] It would be AJTastic

25 pitches for verlander.

i'm not a fan of this rain. they should transfer the game to atlanta, it's fucking beautiful here tonight! plus, i'd have the stadium to myself. you're all invited! : )

[97] Not so sure about that. We lose CC, but they lose Cy Young.

Oh, the white sphere is supposed to land inside the box. Someone better let the douche behind the plate know.

[101] Burnett comes in

Who comes in from a rain delay? AJ? Hughesy?

Wee, way to make him work, Swish.

Guess they are going to plow through the rain.

Ooh

good job, Tex.

it sure is raining. : /

That was a pretty horrible throw.

[106] Probably a smart idea. It would make a mockery of the playoffs to start the game only to delay it an inning in

Yeah, Burnett would come in.
But who would come in for Detroit? Peavy, did I remember that right?

avila & tequila

(hank mobley tune for art blakey & the jazz messengers. in case Mr. OK is gone...)

This field is getting dangerous looking.

[111] Penny. or Porcello. Peavy is on the Pale Hose...

[111] Maybe Brad Penny?

After 6 weeks or so the hound finally crawled on the couch and sat next to me. And it happened during the bottom of the 1st. He may not be so crazy after all.
Fuck you, Blue!

Jeez, it's raining really hard.

Looks like there's water starting to pool in front of the plate.

FUCKING RAIN.

Fuck, CC en fuego. He's just dealing.

Minus that Young homer, CC looks pretty freakin' good.

Penny, that's it. I meant Penny.

Yeah, okay, it will suck if there's a long delay. Damn.

I think the ump was motioning for the tarp as they cut to commercial, or maybe calling the crew chief out to get a weather update.

Either way ... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

Nice glove Tex!

Bring out the kitty litter!

Just fair - I guess yeller was waiting for playoff baseball.

What is it with CC's luck when he's dealing in games. Remember the Seattle perfect game bid, with the 2 freaking delays???

Look at all the empty seats behind the plate. Hey you rich bastards, grow a pair and show some team spirit!

Oh no.

[127] Yes.

Well, fuck.

I guess we got one extra inning out of our ace. But still.

Maybe it will be short and he can come back.

Crappy crap.

[112] Beuatiful!

Out now, hope to get back in time for the last couple innings!

Who were the goodamn fucksticks who couldn't see the giant green blob going towards The Bronx. Unfuckingbelievable!

i'd be miserable having to perform in the postseason in this sloshy mess.

and there it is. rain delay. i say the team that scored most recently, wins the series!

God damn this fucking rain. The field was turning very dangerous though.

[134] I know, that's the main reason the Yankees didn't offer you a huge contract.

Alright, rain delay, time to run out and get some beers.

I've entered my "AJ Burnett is pitching in the playofs" mindset

[126] You bet! Ugh. Mother Nature has been a real bitch this season.

Darling and Smoltz are fine, but I am definitely not going to listen to them fill time.

That's what Tom Verducci looks like?

[136]Frankly, the way the Yankees hand out big contracts, its probably the only reason

[141] Not a bad looking guy.

I'm with the booth. Unless this goes 2+ hours both aces are coming back to pitch.

Sometimes I really wish the Yanks had shelled out for a retractable roof.

[125] I was at a minor league game - Mets low A ball, Capital city Bombers, horrible field, grounds crew bought up ton of kitty litter, they still called the game. Did get to see Jose Reyes there.

[138] well, gi joe said if we get to the lcs, aj's your 4th starter...

Hopefully, this isn't long.

The only acceptable way for tbs to kill time during this fucking rain delay is to pinpoint all the behind the scenes bullshit going on with the sox.

[140] American Restoration on the History Channel.

Oh, and CC looks sharp. He will come back and pitch a few if the delay is less than an hour. Prolly couldn't start game 4 though.

Yanks bullpen is better...

[146] Nice. I had to dump a bunch of bags this spring during some JV games. The stuff is called Turface or something, but I'll always say kitty litter. ; )

[149] Eck would be good for that, actually.

[149] Adrian Gonzalez just tweeted he can't understand why God kept them out of the playoffs AND made them play so many Sunday night games. j/k

[145] Why not, what's another billion? And if the Yankees are expected to win all world series and be in the playoff every year, money well spent for the 75 years of stadium life.

Hm, these guys are both completely bland, and yet, I could listen to them chat for an hour.

Oh, god, that play against Minnesota was amazing. God that was a good moment.

Jeez, I can hear the 22 year old talking. Damn.

[147] I was going to pray for rain, but I realized that its not gonna rain in Arlington or the Trop.

Oh for fuck's sake. What a bummer. Damn Rain!

Bleak.

he really shoulda jumped...

Do they bring in Freddy Garcia if C.C. can't come back and then CC on Monday? Oy.

I have to think that Tiger fans are just losing their dinners right now. TBS using the rain delay to do a ball-wash of Jeter, I mean.

[161] Yeah, could be. Wait, no, because then Fred would have to go on Tuesday.

I think AJ for three innings, Hughes for two, and then we're in the seventh.

[161] unfortunately, i think they'd bring in AJ...

tarp coming off!

they'll have to address the field...

[162] That's kinda funny. And being a fan in an "other market" lends a sensitivity to that.

Or AJ, maybe? Then CC would go Monday. But not for Game 5. Series would be all screwed if Verlander and CC can't come back out. Who would replace them? Penny and AJ? the 03 Marlins curse continues.

[164] AJ for three, Hughes for two sounds like a great wy to be down 9-1

i'm gonna miss the game tomorrow due to a gig. the place i'm playing won't have it on the tv and if i ask them to switch, it'll be quite distracting from the stage...

[168] This should be a Yankee advantage. Besides closing, how good are the Detroit relievers?

[169] well, at least we won't be shut out like the rangers!

[169] I don't think so. AJ for three, knowing it's three, I think he'd be strong. Hughes, not so sure.

Anyway, looks like CC will get to come back, right? Tarp's off.

[165] Ha. I just found The Shining on tv. I don't know what's scarier.

[171] very good. new mexico is their hamma.

[171] Al Albuquerque is really good. Besides that, not so good.

171 Strong end of the back of the bullpen, same as Yankees. Middle guys are a crapshoot, same as with every team.

could still be another 15-20 minutes...

[176] you're a braver man than me. rather than spelling it, i just called Al "new mexico." i'm supposed to gig in that city next weekend, but i didn't wanna fly so much again, so i got a sub...

I liked Cal interviewing Jeter. But sour fucking grapes Cal that you weren't on enough good teams. Blame your stingy owner who is one of the richest owners in baseball.

[179] He should change his name to 'Tucson'. Or 'Denver'.

[173] After the last two years, I consider every good AJ Burnett outing a surprise.

Wait, it's raining, or it's not raining?

looks like the tarp is coming back. oy : /

[181] tucson would stick with the weird spelling. as it is, he adds an extra "r" to his name. the "c" in tucson is quite bothersome to me. yeah, he should change it to denver. then, he can get alaskan amber ale on tap!

[183] yes.

[184] He should change his name to 'Atlanta'. Just for you. Because I know you can spell it.

I just signed up on the bus to follow a rain delay. Sayonara, 350 jpy

[180] I was at a Yankees game at Camden Yards during Cal's last year and every at bat the dude behind me in a Yankee hat would start making fun of Cal. Princess needs a new airplane. Princess didn't like that call. Princess looks cold tonight. He needs a mink coat. That's the only thing I remember about that game.

[185] Just as I suspected. Same as yesterday! And every day!

[181] Denny Denver or Thieu Tucson?

[181] Denny Denver or Thieu Tucson?

[187] ARGH! That sucks, JD.

Beers gotten ... and still a delay?

Ugh.

And news on a restart?

KenboyerMMC, do it again!

[193] They rolled off the tarp, started squeeging... and rolled the tarp back on. So, crap.

[195] Fugh.

CC ain't coming back.

JAIME MAGGIO!!!

she is *perfect*!!!

: O

show HER, not this acne-faced tool!

[190] johnny two-times!

[193] whadjya get? i've got full sail and sierra tumbler in the fridge.

[197] al, is that a guess? Or did they announce?
