How ’bout some more runs, fellas?

Ah Buck n Timmy Mac...

2 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 6:22 pm

First and third with two out in the top of the first. C'mon, Mark...

3 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 6:23 pm

The lovely Bruce Davidson with a wide strike zone so far.

4 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 6:24 pm

Damn. Porcello's change up helped him get around two hard ground outs, and base hits by Rodriguez and Robbie.

5 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 6:28 pm

And a lead off walk. C'mon Hiroki. Sheeeeeit.

6 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 6:29 pm

Berry steals a base on the first pitch. Lousy job by Hiroki. And the rain is coming down now.

7 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 6:30 pm

Here comes the tarp.

8 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 6:30 pm

Terrible. Now both starters could be lost.

9 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:08 pm

And we're back.

10 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:09 pm

Wow, Hiroki got Miguel Cabrera to pop up on the first pitch after the 39 minute rain delay. Still needs to get Prince...

11 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:11 pm

Wow, Fielder hit a laser to first. Almost took Teix's mitt off. But he caught it.

Well done.

12 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:12 pm

Holy Smoke!
Better to be lucky than good.
A minor miracle.

13 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:19 pm

Two out double for Chavie.

14 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:19 pm

Man, Russell doesn't know the meaning of cutting down on your swing, does he? What a hacker.

15 RIYank   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:24 pm

Hey, damn, Doc Watson. I just heard.

16 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:25 pm

raul the cool.

nice job out there, old man!

17 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:25 pm

that was a fabulous frame, hiroki!

[15] yeah man. very sad.

18 RIYank   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:27 pm

[17] Yeah. So now I'm in a bad mood. Probably the scotch set me up for this.

19 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:28 pm

[18] my pop is a big doc fan.

hopefully the captain will cheer you up!

20 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:28 pm

not very cheery...

21 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:30 pm

Nice bunt.

22 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:33 pm

jesus, a-rod.

23 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:35 pm

so, yeah...i watched the end of the mutts game last nite. haven't rooted for them that hard since '86. i was really psyched for johan, the muts and their fans.

then...i saw the replay of beltran's hit and i was pissed. i'm a big beltran fan (can't wait for those next 2 stolen bases!!! 300-300!!!) and he got robbed.

baseball history shouldn't rest on such shitty calls that are sooo easy to get correct and overturn. johan got lucky, gallaraga did not. total bollocks...

24 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:36 pm

C'mon Robbie. Little base hit now...

25 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:36 pm

good job, grandy!

drive him home, robbie!

26 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:37 pm

23) Two words. Jeffery Maier.

27 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:37 pm

he was out in real time. but baseball history isn't on the line! : )

28 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:37 pm

[26] never hoid o' him! ; )

29 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:37 pm

Dag.

30 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:38 pm

at least that cuts off timmay's story.

31 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:44 pm

joe fuck: "squirts away"

timmay: "squirted between the legs"

32 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:45 pm

good k right there.

33 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:45 pm

Nice strike out there.

34 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:48 pm

A little after burner speed from Robbie!

35 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:48 pm

beautiful, robbie! beautiful.

36 RIYank   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:48 pm

Kuroda threw five strikes to Worth, but three of them were called balls.

37 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:52 pm

Damn. Great catch.

38 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:52 pm

motherfucker.

39 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:52 pm

Shame too cause Teix went to the opposite field.

40 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:54 pm

knuts

41 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:55 pm

That was a great catch. But jumping ability had nothing do with it. Shite!

42 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:58 pm

Tattoo You. Man, what a bomb.

43 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:58 pm

knew that was coming.

can't catch that...

44 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 7:59 pm

A nice, young, right handed power hitter that reaches everything.

45 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:04 pm

Well done, Hiroki.

46 RIYank   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:05 pm

[44] Cabrera isn't all that young.

47 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:15 pm

[46] He's 29 and has been raking for years. He's got at least 3 big years ahead of him. Maybe 5? Who knows?

48 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:20 pm

crap.

49 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:23 pm

Love a good pick off!

50 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:23 pm

good.

51 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:31 pm

Old Robbie does not take that walk.

52 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:32 pm

Teix! Base running!

53 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:32 pm

Good aggression by Cano and Mark! Now, GET THEM HOME!

54 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:32 pm

nice baserunning!!!

55 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:34 pm

Seems like forever since Swish has had a big hit.

56 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:35 pm

Gallantry and talent meets elegance and class. Good one, Timmy. Douche.

57 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:36 pm

He's got you with that pitch all night. Dag, Swish.

58 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:36 pm

Yanks have scored 2 runs or less in 6 of Kuroda's 10 starts.

59 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:40 pm

Yup.

60 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:40 pm

fuck that guy.

61 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:41 pm

Well that's good.

62 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:41 pm

Oh, lucky day. Great first out.

63 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:41 pm

NICE!!!

64 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:43 pm

Mr. Splitty!

65 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:44 pm

nice play by alex. i thought he had him...

66 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:45 pm

Good. Plate some runs!

67 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:49 pm

here's cokey.

68 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:49 pm

good start!

69 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:50 pm

Hey Russell got a hit! He got a hit!

70 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:50 pm

Good start.

71 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:50 pm

even better start!

72 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:50 pm

I don't like it but DJ will bunt here.

73 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:50 pm

A million dollars Jeter bunts.

74 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:50 pm

If Jetes bunts successfully I bet they walk Grandy to face Alex.

75 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:51 pm

oh, boo. i really like cokey. it's fun watching him pitch. i think leyland should keep him in. ; )

76 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:54 pm

2-0. Hit and run.

77 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:55 pm

So? Do they walk Grandy?

78 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:58 pm

Oi! Too close.

79 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:58 pm

WTF! Fire up the troops!

80 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 8:59 pm

huh.

81 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:00 pm

Davidson is a known asshole. See Manuel, Charlie.

82 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:00 pm

C'mon, Alex. For the love of Mo!

83 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:02 pm

That was a fucking horseshit strike. Bah!

84 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:02 pm

damn.

85 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:05 pm

For the life of me I'll never know why anyone would want to be an umpire. You couldn't pay me enough.

86 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:06 pm

Good take!

87 thelarmis   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:07 pm

bollocks.

i'm out...

88 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:08 pm

I would have more happy with a single.

89 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:08 pm

Fuck.

90 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:14 pm

Well, Kuroda's pitched a fine game. Two runs in seven innings. Well done, bro.

Time for some late inning magic.

I think Swish will be the guy.

91 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:17 pm

Let's go Boys!

92 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:24 pm

Tex is one. Let's go.

93 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:24 pm

More base runners.

94 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:26 pm

A. little. fucking. 2. out. single. PLEASE!

95 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:27 pm

Swish is going yard here.

96 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:30 pm

We'll take the single. Fucking A.

97 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:30 pm

{95] Good enough.

98 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:32 pm

Oh, that 1-1 pitch. Oh...

99 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:39 pm

A pretty good right handed hitter.

100 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:44 pm

HPB to start. Nice.

101 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:44 pm

The guy is Manny reincarnated.
We had plenty of chances. More RISP fail.

102 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:46 pm

That's what I like to see!

103 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:47 pm

Now Jeter will bunt him to 3rd methinks.

104 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:51 pm

Timmy was ever so happy for that out. Fuck!

105 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:52 pm

interesting. Good.

106 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:53 pm

C'mon, Alex. Drive at least one fucking runner home.

107 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:55 pm

Ouch. Nail biting time to Robbie.

108 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:56 pm

These days, that's almost the best outcome I expect from ARod

109 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:56 pm

Hit one in the gap!

110 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:57 pm

OK everybody.... SWING AS HARD AS YOU CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

111 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:57 pm

Somebody take Cano's bat........

112 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:58 pm

113 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:58 pm

I'm so surprised.
Why wait for a good pitch.

114 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 9:59 pm

Wild pitch would be nice.

115 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 2, 2012 10:00 pm

Fucking Robbie. No way he gets 3 strikes thrown to him.

116 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 10:00 pm

Walk him for the love of Mo!

117 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 10:03 pm

Ha!

118 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 2, 2012 10:03 pm

Fucking Robbie.Fucking Robbie.Fucking Robbie.

119 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 10:05 pm

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

120 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 10:08 pm

Sweet rally.

121 rbj   ~  Jun 2, 2012 10:12 pm

Heck of a game, huh? Just got back from a Mud Hens - Bison nail biter, walk off win for the Hens with a homer in the bottom of the ninth 3 - 2.

122 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 2, 2012 10:12 pm

No hits. A terrible AB by Robbie. ARod can't manke contact.
I can't remember this team playing so badly.

123 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 10:20 pm

And yet they are a game out of first on June 3rd. It's painful to watch but I like their chances in the long run. Their numbers with risp makes me sick to my stomach. And now Boone is going to lose it. Oh, well. grrrrrrrrrrr...

124 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 2, 2012 10:22 pm

Well that was a waste of a Saturday night.

125 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 2, 2012 10:23 pm

Of course. Fucking Robbie.
