Wow, that's the sign you have a problem. They're just Canadians, man.

Yeah, this is a year I can't root against the Red Sox.

PRONK!

OT, but it appears they've got the second bastard.

[2] Same. The city's still shut down. Red Sox and Bruins games cancelled.

Hey, I've been caught up in the local news. [4].
But I've already missed some fireworks, huh?

[6] Apparently there's a body in a boat in a neighborhood, calling in a robot to knock it over.

Lets see here - when was the last time there was extensive TV coverage of a police action?
Gee, guess that would be 1994 - with OJ and the police chase.
The Knicks were up 3-2 in the NBA Finals that year.
Maybe its a good omen for the Knicks this year.

Not to get into 'the News' here, but isn't it pretty stunning how fast and accurately they identified the 2 Boston bombers? I'm amazed.

Dang, just missed getting that run back.

[7] No, I knew that -- I meant I missed baseball fireworks!
Yeah, in a boat, but nobody at any news outlet knows whether this boat is in the water.

Frankie with some power this year.

Who is this Cervelli guy? He looks just like that lame-hitting catcher we used to have.

[11] It's in a backyard, on a trailer.

Why not bat Brains 6th or 7th and Ichiro 9th?
It would be a pisser to see Ichiro and Gritner on the bases at the same time.

[13] He's been seeing ARod's 'therapist'.

[15] Wicked pisser.

Damn Rob, just missed.

[16] Heh. Was just going to make a joke about him spending the winter "working out" down in Miami ...

[19] That was Melky...

Bounce pass?

Pettitte's settled down, looks good now.

Pronk!

Wow.
Cashman is a fucking genius.

PRONKPRONK!!

When they came to bat this inning the Jays had a 16% win expectancy. Seems like it should be lower.

Now (end of the third) it's down to 12%. I guess that seems about right.

Man... this teenage Bomber is wounded and surrounded by about a billion cops... but there is a gun fight going on. I don't know if the kid is shooting, or the cops are just laying down cover.

In any event, the kid is toast and should be apprehended before the game is over.

[23] [24] Big balding monsters?

[26] I hope they get him alive; some answers would be welcome.

Golden god.

Good job by Andy.

[27] And no drone strike.

Are Jays' fans incredibly bad at judging fly balls, or do they just really enjoy pop flies?

Very well done, boys.

OVER the wall!

Rocking tonight.

Frankie Fucking Brains, everybody!

Oh well done, little Gritner!

ribbie for Robbie

Yeah.... Hafner has been hitting pretty good so far but...
is he really worth $2m/yr?

Just cruising now.
It would be nice to see Andy go seven, and maybe let a couple mop-up guys finish and give the bullpen studs a rest.

Bastard reportedly in custody

[38] Excellent.

It would have sucked for me if Boston was locked down again tomorrow. Not that my personal convenience is among the biggest considerations here, just sayin'.

Dang.

ATTENTION FBI ... there's ANOTHER bomber on the loose tonight ... yikes, Bautista-boom-boom!

Damn... that was hit a long way!

[39] My mental well being is. Helluva week

RedSox day night DH?
Yup, Bautista will do that.

[38] Far Out!
No more Sweet Caroline for you! (at Yankee Stadium)

[44] One team, I forget which, played the Cheers! theme.

(Serious Red Sox fans despise "Sweet Caroline", for those of you who don't live in the area. They think of it as the Pink Hat song.)

Boom! Wells' Bells!

Lulz ... Wells TOTALLY trolling Toronto tonight!

VW; drive one!

Well... tremendous news for Bostonians.
Do you think there will be any drinking tonight in Beantown?

[48] Oh, hey, nice.

smart, Smart, SMART by Andy there ...

Wow, after the crappy hit it was three pitches, three outs!

Wow... talk about doing Andy a favor.
Infield Single, then 3 pitches, 3 outs.

[52] CUT THAT OUT!

[54] I just keep getting faster and faster.
It's like your worst nightmare.

[49] It is great news, and considering a 19(!) year old is in custody we should get a lot of the story. What a tragedy, and thankfully no one else got hurt tonight.

Project donkey?

Dunkey should be reserved for the Knicks or Nets.

Another one-pitch out! Four in a row!

[59] And yet Girardi runs out there to pull him.

BTW, did anyone else notice Hafner grabbing his back after each swing last AB?

I gotta say it; with Youk and Pronk on the team, the Yankees will not be winning the best looking team award this year.

[quote]BTW, did anyone else notice Hafner grabbing his back after each swing last AB?[/quote]

LALALALALALA ... I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!

[60] Good time for him to do it, I say. The game is not in doubt, and we want Pettitte to pitch a lot of important innings this year.

[61] I don't mind winning ugly.

Of course Melky doesn't look the same, no steroids.

[63] Then why have him start the inning? I guess there a matchup or something. Or does he have a 90 pitch limit?

[65] No idea. Probably the match-up, yeah, Joe didn't like to start Kelly off against Kawasaki?

Something funny. Earlier in the game the Jays announcers were comparing Kawasaki's and Ichiro's batting stance and swing, noting the similarities. They concluded, however, that Kawasaki is *more* of a slap hitter than Ichiro. I have no idea if that's true, but the exchange made me laugh.

When the Blue Jays play the Cubs, will Castro subdue Bautista?

[67] I didn't hear that, although I have in fact been listening to them.

[68] Damn, you are in good form tonight, pun-wise.

GET. OUT.

Well, that's one. I like this thing where we win every series, let's keep doing that.

Good night all.

[71] And I like Soothsayers!

More please!!!

[69] That and $60K (that I don't have) will pay for my son's college this September.

Signing Melky has put a curse on the Bluejays. If his last year didn't prove that augmentation works. This one will.
