Per RAB: Mitchell up, Eppley down, Freddie to the BP.

Okay.
Now Score Truck.

Here, Tiggers, free out.

Grumble Grumble Grumble

No Score Truck.

April Tex is the most unwatchable thing this side of April Bernie

[6] Just thinking that. Time to make all salaries performance based.

It is a small strike zone, they're right. Or Flash is right.

I'll take it.

I'll take that, too.

Lookit A Rod that RBI MACHINE! LOL

Not that. : (

hey folks! was I the only one that saw the grand slam stat and thought that I don't want A-rod to tie Gehrig's mark? Am I a bad modern day yankee fan?

Drag. That's a pitch Robbie handles when he's going well.

13) You are not bad. But chances are you will be in for disappointment. He should tie and break it.

[13] As long as he who shall not be named isn't at the top I'm good with Alex having getting the record. Eventually.

[15] yeah i expect that as well. just am happy with gehrig there.

Nice to see C.C. with a good start so far.

Not only does he play great defense, but Teix hits the world's best pop outs.

What happened to Swish?

Anyone here watch Boardwalk Empire? Methinks Scherzer looks just like the character Mickey Doyle (Paul Sparks). And as I'm playing with google I'm reminded Scherzer has 2 different colored eyes. Anyway, carry on.

Nine Yankees reach base in the first three innings. Being greedy is bad karma, but we should have more than two runs.

[21] Hamstring tightened up on him. Taken out after walking for precautionary reasons.

Hamstring. Not good. Hottest hitter.

[23] Thanks. I thought after a walk was an odd time for an injury.

God, I thought he caught it!

Wow. I thought Jackson had it

He had it! Amazing.

Man, Prince is quick. Amazing how he ripped that inside slider.

grandy, baby! a-jax almost robbed him.

I call pole interference. Great almost play. Something you don't see everyday. BUT...Grandy hits a dandy!

Again, not to be greedy, but 10 base runners plus a homer in four innings should be more than three runs.
We'll be in their bullpen very soon, anyway.

going into today's game, every team in the AL East has a + run differential. not one team in the Central has a + run diff. huh...

Oh, nice grab. Whew.

nice snare (drum), a-rod!

[33] I know, crazy.
And look, Texas has almost twice as many RS as RA. Now that's impressive.

CC looks almost svelte in his Yankees whites. Nice pick by Arod.

A situation normal day, but more runs needed.

fuckbuckett gave up a 2-run job to the big donkey in the foist. 3-0 good sox!

The lighter hose banged Beckett around in the first inning.

[38] [39] :-)

it's very rare i get to see the yanks on tv and follow along on the banter. this is a real great treat for me! the announcers are even tolerable.

[40] yeah, this winning 6 games in a row and scoring double digits every other game needs to STOP! today is a good day for that...

moyer vs. santana in about a half-hour. go moyer!

There must be bullpen action, but the YES guys aren't saying anything.

hey RI: max scherzer's a tribes-member, right? gotta be.

Eric the Great! ; )

[45] Nope.
His first name is actually 'Maxwell'.

a very BUC like AB...

[47] disappointing. well, in that case... howza bout a 3-run bomb from Captain Jetes?!

13 baserunners...3 runs. feh.

[49] See, that's greedy. Just ask for an inside-out single to right.

[50] I know. See [22] and [32].

Okay, I'll take that too. Even though it wasn't an RBI, let alone three.

a granny from grandy would be grand!

One year ago, that was a Jeter ground-out. This year an infield hit.

A 2 out hit of any freakin' kind with risp would be appreciated.

I know, I wish he had saved that HR for now. But a double will be cool.

Actually, I bet he walks him.

What a time for your ML debut.

Ack

Hey mom! I'm a successful Major League Pitcher. Who needs college.

well, that was certainly less than optimal.

luke putkonen didn't anagram as well as i thought it would...

BTW, those Cookie Monster cupcakes are awesome

ah, that sucks. i was hoping for a 'k' there...

[61] Win some. Lose some. : )

[62] i was thinking the same thing. well, that they look awesome. i would never actually, you know, eat a cupcake!

frank zappa preferred muffins ; )

Flash thinking exactly what I am

i get nervous when we should be winning by a lot and we're not.

[66] damn, flash said that just as i was hitting submit on [67]. i'm probably buffered back a bit.

[65] the larmis!

[64] dude. i saw a bumper sticker the other week that simply said:

BOLLOCKS

i thought it was awesome. you and i love that word. i'd love that sticker for my drum cases!

[61} Maybe not an anagram, but his nickname could be Luke Pukes On 'Em

seamus! 'sup, buddy?!

i've got the tbs team. darling, smoltz and someone else who is NOT chip 'fisted' caray (thank god)

Son of a bitch

fuck and shit.

keep this lead intact, cc.

Putting guys on base all game on not scoring them makes for a closer game than necessary. Who would have thought? Fucking shit!

Do you think that Prince and CC are the record greatest pitcher/hitter weight total?

why did cabrera just try to intercept the toss from cano to jetes? odd.

Hopefully the major league debut lends itself to some more runs

way to get out of it, (still) very large man.

A'right.
Let's plate a few this inning, boys.

[79] i'm obviously way behind. need to reload feed...

that's such a sweet swing, robbie.

How many infield singles do we have today?

Santiago looks chilly.

(Someone must have made that joke already but I haven't heard it.)

2 outs, bases loaded...again.

how about a bajillion motherfucking runs?!?!?!

And walks, for that matter

fucking crap.

total bollocks.

Sigh.
Another inning, another three men LOB.

We're losing this game

Sigh. 14 LOB.

We've left the population of a small country on base today.

[89] stop it!

The Yankees could lulled into a defeat today. 14 left on base so far. Score truck a scooter today.

nice hook.

Oooh, Gavin Floyd just lost one of the things you aren't supposed to talk about, but does still have the other one as a possibility.

[93] Lull.

great inning, cc!

Yanks are really playing with fucking fire here. Their inability to get a big hit could proved costly.

[95] thru 5

[96] Thanks professor. I left out the little word "be", but I like your version better.

[98] could, but won't. we're winning this bitch! : )

We need to get the Big Man a win

[100] Welx.
[99] Thing is, Floyd is a much better pitcher early in the game than late.

why couldn't that happen with the bases clogged?!

Putkonen must be Finnish, right? (And soon finished, too.)

[103] maybe they can go the route of the houston astros.

as long as the shit sox lose, i'll be happy! : )

Okay, now do not bunt. Do not.

don't fucking bunt him over. jeesh!

If Stewart can hit half way decently, he's a much better option than Cervelli

[105] well, he's american and went to high school just north of metro atlanta...

game of inches.

[110] Finnish name, though. Like "Eric".

a veritable rally.

please score. please!!!

Oh, good, we're in an excellent situation for leaving tons of guys on base again!

Someone get a fucking big hit!

[112] i prefer sweden. hell, i'd even take norway or denmark, before finland. i do have a finnish aunt, however...

game of several yards...

Oooohhhhhh....

[115] Hits are allowed only with the bases empty.
Well, an infield single here would be permitted.

Man.
Well, just like a bunt, I guess. A very long bunt.

jesus. so close.

Dang, Curtis just missed it. 2nd & 3rd w/ 1 out? I demand runs here.

Just hit it in the air Alex

[116] I'll take Sweden Ya Ya Ya. Just saw Girl With Dragon Tattoo last night (Netflix). Sweden not portrayed as the paradise we believe.

A-Rod will walk.

I think all three hits might be infield singles too

Floyd through six.

50 pitches for this kid...

[127] hell yeah!

big dunnkey up vs. fuckett

What?? Wow, I think we got a break.

Wow, I thought he'd be out.

Safe! By an inch or two.

holy fuck!

hometown call!!!

go-go chris stewart.

we need a replay....

ooh, safe!!! slid under the tag. wow!!!

SAFE! Now that's Bombers baseball!

No, by a foot or two.

He really looked out on the live video. To me, anyway.

[124] i'd like to go there one day. need to brush up on the language. haven't had the time to continue my study. i still have a decent vocabulary, i guess...

Well, that works

definitely safe. ball beat him. slid under the tag.

good call.

Still not a hit with RISP. Hey, you take what you can get.

I'd take a sac fly from Rob. 5-2 would look good, with CC dealing and the World's Best Bullpen.

Much better

halfway to double digit runs!

Nice job, Rob. Nice.

[136] I'm going in a few weeks! I don't speak the language at all, but they are really good at English. Like, better than we are :-)

lucky grab.

Talk about lucky. A Rod. RBI MACHINE!

[143] holy fuck! are you serious?! that's not fair!!! i wanna go, dammit!

work or family trip?

yeah, it's true - they speak english better than us, no doubt. it's highly impressive. but i enjoyed learning some basic swedish...

Wow, Jimmie Foxx...for a guy who's #7 on the all-time RBI list, his name never comes up amongst the greats. I don't even know what team he played for, though I want to say Chicago?

Anyone know anything about this guy?

leadoff walk. my favorite...

[146] Work. Gothenburg.
[147] Serious??

fuck you, little pony midget fucker. : /

[149] i know people in gotenburg!

Biiiiiig K, big man.

[150] Figures, huh?
[151] Who?? Sven?

Ahhh.
About time we got a really good start.

Yeah, I'll take that from CC

[154] Truthfully, both of Sabathia's last two starts were better than their lines.

Uh oh. Two in SP for Cody Ross.

Go to the bullpen!

[147} The Beast! He played most of his games with Philly A's and the Red Sox. Lots of HRs, lost some years to WW2. Rumored to love the bottle. HOF

[153] and now Fat Fuck is getting in on it.

let's keep the shutout intact, thank you please!

G'berg - lotsa folks. i toured with a dozen Swedes last summer!

[157] Knew it. Too late.

oh yeah!

ANDRUW!!!

Save the bones!

Save the bones!

Oh, high five, weeping.

Wow

Andruw! But now not a save situation.

[149] You know, I am! I only ever see his name, but I never hear anyone talk about him!

Send the Big Guy back out there?

[160] crap.

dear pale hose,

WIN!!!

thanks,
sven

Forty-six base runners, and both homers are solos.

Something going on and he does know what it is. He do Mr. Jones.

andruw now at the mendoza line...

[171] ballad of a very large pitcher man!

chris stewart is tall.

6'4"

Whew, Nicky Punto ends the threat.

[167] They talk about him a lot in Red Sox Nation. "Double X". I guess he was their Ruth-era boomer. Right handed slugger.

Addison Reed is a MUCH cooler baseball name than Colin Balester.

lead intact in chi-town.

Shhhh. Nobody tell Joe this is the ninth inning.

Oh, I get it. If Andruw hadn't homered, we'd see Mo. Of course.

Damn, he can hustle for a big fatass.

Hm, I was thinking what Michael Kay just said (about breaking the bat). That is not a good feeling, I'll tell you.

[164] :))

hamma time!

1 more...

[176] Ok, maybe I did know he was a Boston guy, but said Chicago because Foxx is like Sox and Sox is like Chicago...

But see, that's my point! For someone so high on that RBI list, I'd expect him to transcend team the way the other big guys do.

I'm going to go look him up right now...

This Robertson guy can pitch, huh?

hammered!

ballgame!

YANKEES WIN!!!!! : )

Now, my life was like a river
All sucked into the ground
And then The Hammer came down
Lord, The Hammer came down...

I mean, Jesus, Jimmie Foxx? Dude not only hit 534 dingers (which I knew, but again, only from seeing his name on the list in the context of various guys passing him) but he also hit .325!

That's got to be top ten, huh? Carew finished at .328, I think?

This guy needs more props than to just be a name on a list for guys to pass.

He wasn't even primarily a Boston, he spent the better part of his career with Philadelphia (A's).

Nice win.

Beckett is struggling to put away Lillibridge in the seventh. He's hurting, fastball around 89-90. Ninth pitch of the AB with two on and two out...

Low, 2-2.

Inside, 3-2.

Beckett has thrown 122 pitches. But bullpen=surrender...

Turns out Foxx is only #29 on the all-time hitting list.

I never realized there were so many guys with lifetime averages in the .330s. I thought it was a very small handful.

How about that.

Reaches back for a 92 mph two-seam, fouled off.

And he walks Lillibridge on the 12th pitch of the AB. Josh is not a happy camper.

11th pitch to lillibridge...

let's hope the pale hose do NOT resemble the yanks with the bases loaded and 2 outs...

Scott Atcheson gets a fly out on his first pitch. Going to the eighth.

[196] ah, crappity crap.

[197] Are you watching, or Gameday? They just showed Lars Andersen in the Red Sox dugout. Very Swedish-looking.

Ok, one reason I wasn't aware of so many guys with such high averages is because a lot of them seem to have been from the dead ball era...

[199] neither. watching the braves game, just checking the shit sox on the espn scoreboard, which is slow...

my nickname is Lars or...Larsy, Larsell, Lars L. Corn and on and on and on...
