OK, keeping Youk off the turf in Toronto makes sense. But now I'm starting to get concerned.

Not the turf. It's "lower back tightness".

[2] That's what I meant. His back is still tight. Given that the injury bug has hit the Yankees hard right now, I wonder if it's worse than what we know.

[3] Oh, right. Girardi says 'tomorrow... we hope'. I don't think they're hiding anything.

Robbie is so smooth.

Hiro's getting hammered.

Finally.

Ugh.

Hope this ends better than it began ...

Hid-ugly tonight.

Brett Lawrie? Seriously?

Hiroki is having location problems {/understaement}

Hey, here's a thought ... let's see what Adam Warren has got tonight!

I think Kuroda should throw that slider. Maybe he can't get it over the plate. But it looks mean. I bet the Jays wouldn't be teeing off on it like they are on the sinker.

Like that! Got Bautista on the slider.

VW!

Well, there's one.

Vern vayvee Vern!

Hey Vern!

[14] farfegnugen.

Two little gritty guys on the bases. Time to rock.

Five & dime rallytime

Holy cow. I got an adrenaline rush from the foul.

Okay seriously, what the hell is the deal with Ben Francisco?

21)yeah beautiful swing there

Can someone explain to me the relationship between between the following:

Ben Francisco
Designated Hitter
# 2 in the lineup

See, *that's* how it's done, Ben.

Fuck yes, Rob

Green light on 3-1...
Yes!

RIPPER GO BOOM!

Oh Robbie!

Man, thank Mo for Rob, is all I can say.

Woo-Hoo!

Man, I need to doubt this team more often ...

[24] He's right handed.

In other news, Robinson Cano is left handed.

[22] [24] He actually looked good that AB, though.

I mean, I'm not scratching my head wondering why no other team scooped him up. But I'm thinking it could work out...

Oy.

Hiroki looks okay now huh?

Ove3bay.

[34] I'm not too excited one way or the other, mainly because I'm not much invested in this season. But given his performance so far, it does seem silly to keep starting Francisco as the RHDH specialist. It's even silly if you look at his career numbers, given his slight reverse split against LHP. Then again, sometimes I get the feeling (impressionistic to be sure) that no team regularly punts the DH position quite like the Yankees.

Tesh who???

You are forgiven, Lyle.

[36] Just needed some kicking, that's all ...

Oh-fer-bay redemption

[38] I, for one, welcome our new non-Teix Overbay.

What if we could combine two guys and create Ben Francisco Cervelli? I'm for it. Sure, it could be a disaster, but what the hell, give it a shot.

Brains needs food!

The Cervelli Express keeps chugging along!

You've been Cerved!

Frankie!

Yeah, baby! That's half of my Frankenstein Monster, right there!

I like this new juiced up Cervelli

[49] Yeah, the half that can hit!

Hardeeharharharhar...

[50] Sssssssssssssssssssh!

Don't even *think* that out loud ...

How did they get Nuñez on that one?

[52] Meh, I'm not gonna make it any more true that way.

Damn, Brett. Watch that wrist kid!

GRITNER!!!

[54] That's a joke, son ...

Adam Lind is on maternity leave?
Really, Michael?

2-26

At this point I'd rather see Girardi getting at bats instead of Francisco. You look like a nice guy, Ben, but you're not getting it done.

I think Ben is going to come around.

Anyway Girardi already had his chance.

[61][62] Ah, ok...I'm slowly catching on.

[63] Yeah, I think we may have been slow on the uptake there

M M M M M My Kuroda!

Attaboy, Frankie-stein!

Midgets on base again! Time for action.

Evening folks....
Man.... that 'information' Cervelli got from Biogenesis has sure put some pop in his bat.

Just cause I'm following him all year (to the MVP)
Bryce: .368 .448 .750 1.198 , 7 HR, 15 RBI, 22 games

Well that was quick.

Bad, Nardo, BAD!!!

Joba's strategy of forcing batters to hit the ball really hard directly at someone is working.

[71] His strategy of hanging fat breaking pitches and allowing opponents to get themselves out in their startled eagerness seems to be working as well ...

Next up D-Rob.

Then Mo.

Missing a good one here? Frankie Brains and Cano went ByeByeBalboni off Hurly Burhle?

[74] And VW.
Kuroda started off teh suck, but finished Hiro-ically.

Also, [74] Happy Ella Day!

2-27

Rats!

[76] Swing!! :)
Paulie: I'm hardly an IT genius but really..is it that hard to understand what # means on Twitter? Do ex-jock announcers all put on the doofus act on purpose?

soclose

Yay!

3-27!

Never seen before.

[83] me too

[83] Who initiated the call be changed. I switched the channel.

I think that hit will be the beginning of a turn around for Ben. It had better be, because he'll play regardless

Wow..Jays getting some bad calls this game. Also saw the Gameday strike zone before the Cano homer, some real bad calls by the ump.

[85] the umps

[88] Aha. Thanks. Good on them.

[88] which was the weirdest part. Girardi didn't contest it. Why over turn it?

Bang
bang
bang.

Now that's my David Robertson.

Ichi-go!

Cecil. You don't meet a lot of guys named Cecil.

Exactly, Michael. The hashtag is also used for the search engine. So if you want to search something you can use the hashtag.

That's exactly it.

[95] So you can search for hash-hish or hash-browns? Though they do go together.

[96] I have no idea what he meant. He said someone texted it to him.

[95] God, that was awful. Worse than those ESPN guys, the dumb jock & the nebbish that do the morning show.. #Cone&Singleton,Please

Everyone knows that pitch is coming. And a professional hitter still can't hit it.

Vintage.
It's just not fair.
