Man did the Tiggers get hosed today.

Yeah, I saw that. Fister seems to have a knack for bad luck. Let's hope it continues for at least one more start, namely next Saturday against the Yanks.

Go Git 'Em Boys!

Way to start it off, Derek.

I love good, fundamental, Scioscia baseball!

A Rod hits it hard but it looked like a simple 6-4-3 dp. Aybar boots it, Jeter scores and now runners are on the corners. Make it hoit, fellas.

Weaver stepped wrong there.

Man. That sucks. I'd rather they'd shelled Weaver instead of this freak injury. Bollocks.

That's not cool to see. Hope Weaver is okay. Pressure is on Hughes to come up big now. Yanks have a good opportunity here.

Wow. Aybar making an error? Like you said it should be two outs man at third, no run. And now Weaver goes down lame after 10 pitches? No sympathy...keep it coming.

I am too tired to watch. Three day weekends are awesome in theory, but I think I'm overpacking them. But go yanks, I will try to dream of a win.

Why couldn't that have happened to Jeff in his 1st Yankee start?

Yanks need to keep the merry go round going here.

What happened?

[13] the way the Yankees play, I can see them not getting another hit because their routine was thrown to shit.

[12] This is Jared

[16] Singleton's been calling him Jeff all day

Tough pitch to get Robbie.

14) He twister his right knee on a pitch.

Uh-oh, bases loaded. This can't be good.

lol.

Bases loaded, so that means Raul hits into a dp, right?

We'll take the run.

[21] A little better than that...

[19] Doing the right leg red move?

Saw that one coming a mile away

Wow!

And sometimes they just give you some runs. Couldn't happen to a nicer team.

More good Scioscia ball.

Raul's fly is the only RBI of the inning, right?

Hah! Scioscia is redder than his uniform.

C'mon Russell!

That was a sucky AB.

[32] RI? Sucky?
Russell must have seen some of his old girlfriends last night.

Man, Martin is lost. Then again, crappy abs from Swisher and A Rod didn't hurt them and they walk away with three runs. It's all about Hughes tonight. I'm not convinced he'll do well. I don't believe in Hughes these days, I'm sorry to say. I hope I'm wrong. Tell you what, Pujols is taking him yard at least once tonight.

I am pretty sure Fat Albert is going to homer off Phil soon.

[34] Dude, no way Albert hits one out. Fuggidaboudit.

[35] No. Not happening.

[34] I no longer have any emotional connection with Phil Hughes like I did with Pettitte or Sabathia. I root for him, but all his failures have stopped me from living and dying with every pitch.

Trout is only 20 and starting for the Angels? No beer for him.

0 for 3 with RISP. One RBI. 3 Runs Scored.
WHAT AN AWESOME OFFENSE!

Holy shit what a catch!

But Hughes owes Granderson a beer. I never thought he would catch that.

[40] It's fun to hit home runs, though! So says Teix.

Oh Christ

This lead won't last long

Two smashes against Hughes. He's garbage.

time for the uncle charlie.

Nice piece of hitting.

hrmph.

[46] If Hughes is going to consistently hit 94mph and still get hit hard he is garbage.

Nice looking numbers for Trumbo.

50) There's just no movement on that fastball.

What a fucking garbage hit.

Great job Phil.

You know, Hughes, you're a fucking pile of shit. They give you a three-run lead and you'll be lucky to get out of the inning without trailing. What, are you trying to remind us of A.J. Burnett?

Mom and Dad Hughes can't be too proud right now.

Remember when Phil Hughes was gonna be Roger Clemens?

A straight fastball and a loop to loop curveball ain't going to cut it.

And how close was that to being a three-run homer.

Whew...I thought it hit the pole.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Angels are taking batting practice. At least Weaver had an excuse.

(45) Like I said

I actually don't think he's thrown a good pitch. Not one.

I can't watch this anymore. Hughes can pitch BP, evidently.

Phuckin Phil!

Unbelievable. This guy.

At this rate the game will end around 4 am. I almost think the Angels are stealing signs. Phil's not this fucking terrible. Close. But not this.

No clue how to mix pitches. That's all I'm going to say.

Remember when Phil Hughes was gonna be Roger Clemens?

Alex, I think you should remove the duplicate comments thing, because I think I'll be saying this all night

68) But that's the thing. His change up isn't great, he's got a decent curve and a straight heater. There's not much deception with Hughes. And for an eager, fastball-hitting team like the Angels, he's dog meat.

Finally. Now, our bats have to wake the fuck up. We should be able to destroy any spot starter who looks like Grizzly Adams.

69) Exactly. And 70) Good pernt.

Damn. Now MLB is jerkin' me around.

[72] Yankees were expecting to see Weaver. They are AWFUL at adjusting on the fly.

Six innings 1 H, 9 K 2 BB. My official prediction.

I don't want to walk MFer!

A non-NYY Bal HR.

Yohza! Like I was sayin'...

holy shit. i come home to a 3-run lead and weaver out of the game with an injury.

then hughes shits the bed beyond belief and we're losing in a blink of an eye.

phuck you, phil.

Good old Curtis.

and we're tied!

i love curtis. i've been a fan of his since his start in motown.

Damn. Some White Sox named Sales struck out 15 Rays today. Not too shabby.

Yeah, don't throw that curve again Phil.

[82] Yeah, Chris Sale.

Younger Jeter snags that one.

[82] yeah. that's chris sale. major prospect. they briefly took him out of the rotation and put him in the closer role, to protect him from injury. he protested and stated his case today. he's good.

[86] Yankees would make him the seventh inning guy

what happened to fister and the tiggers? shitty fenway calls go the scumbags' way?

Wow. An out.

[87] or the long man, once our main bullpen bullets were healthy.

Phil may figure it out. But not tonight.

That kid's good.

[90] I really think that in ten years, when we have some perspective and principles are no longer around, we'll look at the Yankees' philosophy for developing of starting pitching as one of the biggest mistakes the organization has ever made. They just fucking suck at it.

[88] Yes, in a word.

They know what's coming.

fuck. i just saw the bullshit call against fister and the kittens.

total bollocks.

there should be replay for that. selig's a chump. i hate this 2nd wild card and opening the playoffs on the road and no replay crap...

Ohmygod

This is turning into something akin to torture porn

Woulda liked to see Jetes at least try for Albert's single. He knows they wash his unis for free, right? Git dirty.

[93] Just speaking personally, I will always have principles.
