C.C. Sabathia takes the mound tonight in ATL and will get to hit too which is reason enough to tune in.

i'm giving final exams tonight and tomorrow night, so i won't be able to attend the last two games of the series. last night was a wonderful time at the ol' ballpark! i've got the dvr set...
beautiful day here in (very) HOTlanta.
GO CC!!! GO YANKS!!!
Should be fun.
[2] administering finals or the game? ; )
[3] The game -- watching CC hit. Just remember big fella, run station to station on the bases.
Just tuned in. Saw two pitches. Is CC getting squeezed?
Not really.
Might be a good night for hoops!
OK. Spotting a three run lead isn't the end of the world. But it must end here.
[1] The Yanks needed you at the game to tip the vibe CC's way.
This could probably be going better
That Collins/Girardi Dunkin Donuts commercial is embarrassing to watch.
What exactly is the "swinging strike" rule for a bunt attempt? It never seems consistant.
Lonely...
Hoops doesn't start until 9PM, where is everyone?
When Andruw Jones came up, the announcers said something like "Let's listen to the ovation".
Man... there was hardly a buzz. The announcers were absolutely quite, but it was still hard to hear any cheering.
CC should be AA, but he's been BB at best this year. Maybe even CC.
I hate these games that are an 'expected Win' on paper.
Figures that we'd be completely stymied by the worst pitcher in baseball.
Oi! Lead off double.
Station to station, CC.
Don't mind that out.
A little good news:
"My surgery was a success, it went perfectly. I am looking forward to beginning my rehab soon. Thanks as always for your prayers. (hash)GodBless."
This Minor chump won't throw a better game all year. Bollocks!
Well, this game has been some kind of infuriating.
[17] Excellent.
The intentional walk for the sake of handedness matchups. Another Joe Girardi special.
[21] How about a force at every base? Absolutely the correct move.
[22] We're loading the bases to set up a force play in a three run game in the seventh inning?
Life!
rally time
So either we hit a HR or nothing in these spots?
Wow!
WOO-HOO!
FUCK YEAH!
Fun way to tie Gehrig. : )
Tied with Gehrig!
Bit homers in the ATL seem to be a theme for the Yankees.
*big homers
boom! I thought Venters was supposed to be one of these unhittable relievers? :)
[34] He was unhittable until he threw a strike.
HOT FUCKING DAMN!
And game untied.
Yeahhhhhhhh!
I approve.
I'm awake. Are we all awake? Go BULLPEN! Gotta win this one now.
G'nite, everyone!
Gameday says Jones was HBP..was that on purpose?
[42] Hard to tell. It was his shoulder, not butt.
Mets abusing Tampa. Good.
Honestly, I think at this point Joe knows if Sori can pitch, Kay.
Clay Rapada now has 18 ip this year. 2.1 ip away from his career high in 2008. He has spent 10 seasons of his life mostly in the minors. Glad to see him getting outs but I don't think he can sustain all year. But the who hell knows?
Man, Rapada. Hard to believe. With Soriano seemingly not available the Yanks really feel like they'd steal one tonight with this bullpen.
[46] I meant to say he is 2.1 ip away from his career Major League High.
One down
Two Down
Hmmmmm......winning......
Yankees win!
Good night all. Will enjoy the write ups in the morning.
Yay!
