Alex, you know the Nets are gonna play that beat at all their home games. And I can't think of any reason why they shouldn't besides ruining a classic by associating it with consistent losing.

Teixeira has been diagnoses with nerve damage to his larynx, which they say is the cause of the cough that's been bothering him. I can't find an explanation of how nerve damage to a larynx can cause inflammation of bronchial passages. Any otolaryngologists in the house? It will be treated with meds and shouldn't affect his playing. He seems happy to know what the problem is.

Joba is supposed to throw soon, and D-Rob could pitch a rehab game today.

Hey, the game started! How come nobody told me???

Finally, baseball.

[2] We have to keep Mark away from the karaoke machine.

[4] Also the railing of the stands, apparently.

The Rays' D giveth, and the Rays' D taketh away.

Bollocks!

Red Sox pummeling Brian Matusz.

Bunting a 97 mph fastball is no easy task.

Good lord.

Cue the circus music!

Ha!

Well, each team has a 'lucky' run now.

I'll take it.

Apparently it's contagious.

Well that's no good. : /

Unbelievable.

Thanks, Alex. grumblegrumblegrumble...

Yeah, it's a shame the Curtis Gunderson didn't homer.

Hurry back Brett.

Both runs this inning unearned. :-(

CC's really pitching well. This would be a great game if not for... Rodrigue5.

Seeeing these chumps get any hits off the Big Fella after watching them scuffle for 2 games is frustrating. Ah, baseball....

Jose Lobaton?

boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Wow.
[20] What you said.

Sigh. Heal, Brett.

[26] I'll never take him for granted.

Jayson Nix < Bern Nix... sigh...

I remember the ads about that dog bite.

Cone said he "would not tour George Washington but he would find George's Irish Bar. Cone cracks me up. : )

[31] Whoops. I forgot an end quote in there. Bar." Now I feel better.
Alright, score some runs.

Time to get back in it.

I'll take a single. But when was the last bases clearing double the Yankees had?

Show time! Full count.

Cano on deck.

Damn!

Shit. C'mon, Robbie!

Shit and fuck. But great effort by Alex there. Those boo birds need to shut the fuck up and appreciate what a great ab that was.

Robbie, whadda ya swinging at?

Missed his pitch. Fuck.

Now, here comes the off speed nastiness.

This will be Price's final inning. But will the Yanks have anything to show for it?

But nobody is booing now? Right, okay.

Fuck

Alex's ab was impressive. I'm shocked, though, that he fouled off about 5 of those curveballs ans swung through that last one. Fuck! And now a harmless 4-3.

Gotta tip yer cap to Price there.
Damn.

47) Beautiful job. Cano had the one fat pitch to hit and he fouled it off. Great performance by Price.

Meanwhile, LeBron is going crazy in Boston..can he keep it up in the second half?

49) Sure he can. He needed a monster game. Despite the naysayers I expected nothing less from him tonight.

Man, Davis throws cheddar too.

30 first half points by Lebron ties most first half points in NBA history. He doesn't need to score 50. Needs Wade to pick up some slack. Still, Heat by 12 at the break. I'd be shocked if the Celtics win this series.

[52] LeBron is incredible. Shame he'll take the brunt of it shoudl they lose, Wade has really been the one not to show up at times.

I hate the Celtics but man, Rajon Rondo is a fun player to watch.

Just checking in during half time. Lebron off to a great start.
Looks like the yanks made price work but have little to show.
Are we still pretending that stewart is not cc's personal catcher?

Oi.

Thiose 2 doubles to LF are both caught to Brett. The little guy is really valuable.

C'mon, Swish!

Holy Shit! A 2 out rbi.

Oh, damn it, 5-2?

Wtf happened to CC?

[59] An error by Alex, a crap play in left by Nix, and CC missing his spot one too many times.

A literal boot by Swish. Ugh.

[60] Sigh.

Why didn't Gerrit Cole sign with us? He ended up going #1 last year. I hope he enjoys Pittsburg more than he would have NY.

This should have been a better game.

53) Bron Bron with 45 points (19-26), 15 boards, 5 dimes. Incredible performance. And I give the Celts ZERO chance of winning game 7.
