Look at Tex, earning his way back into the 3rd spot. Good for him.
Whoa, I tune in three minutes late and miss a triple??
doink!
I prefer the Kei igamwa version of Minor to the Warren Spahn model
Okay, time to get a fucking hit
No hitter.
No hitter.
No fucking hitter.
Can we at least get a hit?
If it jinxes a no hitter to talk about it I'm fucking talking about it. Fuck minor.
Me wanted hits
Hooray!
Bye bye no hitter. Now let's get 8 runs.
Thank you Alex. Now how about a run.
Whew.
The real minor has shown up.
Now they're cookin'! Let's go. Plate some runs.
I could take a loss. Really, after nine straight, can't be too greedy. I couldn't take being no-hit by this turkey.
Of course, winning is better. And I just remembered that Thelarmis is at the game.
It has to be hypnotism. There's no other explanation.
Make the chalk fly!
Russell!
Okay.
Okay.
Doggone that guy who stuck his fucking hand out. Probably wouldn't have scored anyway. I'll never get that much love for a $10 baseball dipped on Georgia clay.
[21] I think it was going into the stands anyway. (Michael Kay says so, but I think it's true anyway.)
Minor exasperated the situation by walking Cano, according to Kenny.
[22] Heh.
Uh oh. Bases loaded. Damn.
RIyank you're right. I just don't get fans doing that
Bases loaded for...Chris Stewart?
Why exactly does CC not like Coltrane Martin?
Sigh.
C'mon, Captain. For fuck's Sake!
Let's go Cap'n!
Just sit on the change, Captain.
Something gotta give here.
Yes!
Whoo-hoo! Piece o' cake.
It's so easy. It's so damn easy, baseball.
Captain (runs scoring) grounder!
The captain!
Mrs. Jeter seems to have seen a stylist.
Sweeeeeeeeeet on minors pitch count.
The Grandy man can ('t)
You know Suzyn...you just can't figure baseball.
Roll on, Teix! Yes!
Mark!
Tex starting to be dependable. That young woman is a little excited. She's better hide that ball.
I like how CC gets stronger as a game progresses. That is an endearing characteristic.
[44] I want a complete game under 100 pitches.
He's slow in acceleration, but with a fast cruising top end.
[45] Well, after that AB, it's a long shot.
I'll take a CC special CG, no matter how many pitches.
[47] No kidding. Dammit. The CG is still in play. He's almost loose. Good play, Jeter.
[46] Like a destroyer. He's the Big Ship.
Jeter laying out for CC. He looked a little shaken up there. Nice play.
Mets beating the O's, Brew Crew over the Jays. Let's win and open up a gap. (Rays are off, I think.)
I wonder how many pitches would be too much for CC? He's never really had any arm trouble, right? 130+ is doable?
Damn, fine double play.
[52] Yeah, if it were important there's no doubt in my mind that he would stand out there and toss 135.
Oooh, I think Raul was safe.
Maybe not.
[49] Big Diesel. Although Shaq might have something to say about that.
[51] Lez Go Mez!
Beautiful.
Well, go figure.
I'm worried, though -- won't we be penalized for getting hits when there are runners on second or third? I thought there was some rule against that.
Another Captain (run scoring) Grounder special. He's having a good game on national TV.
R.A. Dickey, not bad eh? Two straight 1 hitters? Guess the Yanks are going to have to dead that shit come Sunday.
Good, use five or six relievers today. That's what NL managers do, right? Good.
Dayum, RA Dickey threw another 1 hit shutout, as the Mets beat the O's 5-0.
Damn, Robbie, Smooth as silk.
Cano smooth as ever. Ya think CC will finish this?
[64] I think so. If he'd thrown 112 already, I'd say Joe goes to the pen, but he's obviously still very strong.
[60]-62 -64 Ha! Must be my dial up connection.
Robbie!
When you make a sweet play to end the inning the guy always bats 2nd in the other half and homers. : )
Although the Yanks hit two home runs in this game, the didn't need them to win. So...
Ahhhhh.
Rob is rolling.
Andruw Jones must pay in Kangaroo Court for not even trying to run to first on that dropped swinging strike.
Andruw is not rolling.
The Freight Train, with a full head of steam.
CC can, so does. The Big Ship!
Nice win, double digit winning streak, good game for Thelarmis to witness. Me likey June Yankees.
Hot damn! Great game by The Big Fella!
C.C.C.G.
Damn shame that club closed.
A fitting finish.
Man, I love our pitching staff.
GOOD NEWS RI!
The Yankees still stink with RISP!
And are still underperforming!
[78] Uh. You mean, tonight? They were 3-7 with RISP. Did you watch a different game?
But that isn't good news. It's just a good thing. You're having trouble with that distinction!
