Lyle Overbay, who had been DFA'ed by Boston is our clean up hitter.
Robbie!
Robbie says, "Get that shit outta here!"
Congrats on the first ML home run David!
Is it going to be one of those games?
Normally, I wouldn't be happy to see insufferable pompous windbag RA Dickey win, but any day The Rapist loses is a good one.
[6] Geez. Had to look that up.
Kinda makes it hard to get too moralistic about steroids, huh?
[7] indeed.
Rats, almost got out of it.
Yipe, big batter here, Adam Jones...
Speaking of big Adams: Dunn took Jon Lester deep in the first inning with two aboard.
And a bid play by Adams!
It's Adams all around.
And a Yankee named Adams made the tough play to save a run.
[12] And I'm chewing Black Jack gum
[14] Ummmmmm.
Cadbury-Adams?
Damn, is Fat Freddy Filth Flinging us?
I love how Michael and Kenny observe that the Yankees swing early in the count so "they won't be put away by the splitter," and then Brett watches all six pitches.
He likes to watch.
Run Gritty, run!
Scott Proctor is retiring. Joe Torre is putting him in the game.
Wow, he did beat it! Tricky Gritner!
No, he was out. Huh.
Well, nice swim move, but Gritner still swam his ass into what should have been an out ...
I think Rob did have the green light, but it was irrelevant.
[19] Godspeed, EDSP!
Overpronked.
Day-um, how was that a double play? The ball ate him up.
Three straight doubles off Lester in the second inning. Getting creamed by the Other Sox.
[23] ? Emotionally Disabled Special Person? I not too proud to ask.
Joe Torre is going to use Proctor at the MLB office at some Sisyphean task.
Jesus, just bring on the Robot Umpire Overlords already.
This year's a fucking joke ...
[27] Every Day Scotty Proctor!
[27] EveryDay Scott Proctor.
So we have two bad calls in our favor this evening. That's baseball, sorry Buck (you douche).
I think Tanyon Sturtze already holds that position.
I know the Yankees are getting the benefits of bad calls, and that this game would probably not be tied at the point. CC not sharp again, but as usual gutting out innings.
But...I'm beginning to despise Buck Showalter all over again. Looking at every ball thrown out of play when CC is pitching. What a dick.
[31] Nostra!!!
So that's why Lyle is hitting fourth.
OVERBOOM!
[34] Red Sox cast-off.
[32] Yes, totally.
ICHIRO! has really been shiite this* year, hasn't he?
*MP Disclaimer: yes, I know he's really been shiite for a lot longer than *this* year, I'm just sayin' ...
Cleanup hitter!
Who would of thought we would see a Yankee DP combo of Adams to Brignac to Overbay. I'm grateful for the success, but it is a little weird.
Argh.
[39] You'd have gotten some damn fine odds on that in Vegas.
Crap.
Shit!
Buggerfuckingshitfarger!
I'm not liking CC2.0
Fugh.
The O's are just going with the pitches, not swinging for the fences. CC must be feeling a little mortal these days. Maybe he needs to put the weight back on?
Motherfucker.
Hi Cult!
And to celebrate sticking an AC unit into the bedroom window I get to sit down and see CC cough up the lead. Crud.
Singleton just said that Kelley has struck out the 13 of the last 18 batters he faced....
NO! God, IBB for Davis. Ugh.
Sean Kelly?
Kelley???
13 of the last 18 on K's?
Well, I'll be ...
[46] You still gonna tour out here?
Way to go Shawn!
[52] Sean?
Shaun??
Shawn???
Cult - it wasn't a tour. Trying to hook up with a drum company. I hope it happens later this year. I'll keep you posted...
Prolly gonna be in No Cal next month, but that's really far from you, I'm afraid...
Oh, good. Hughes is starting tomorrow.
The White Sox have two successive Tylers in their order.
[54] Like SF-area NoCal?
[53] It's Shawn. Forget whether his last name has one or two "e"s
FUCK
If the Yankees are short on catchers, DL Stewart. I heard there's a guy named Yogi Berra who's available.
[58] Two.
Yeah, SF...for a coupla days, then north of there. Chico, maybe. I'm not positive yet. It's the woman's choice. My wallet ; )
[62] Well, shiiiiiite, just got a new car ... dropped 90k miles in an afternoon ... SF ain't so far away at all any more!
Do you know if it would be a weekend?
[61] Thanks.
[63] 90k miles in an afternoon? Did you buy a used space shuttle?
[62} I vote for Mendocino!
[62] Wait. Hold on.
Woman?
Hey, C-Dick! C-Dick run!
[65] I vote for Napa, Sonoma and Anderson Valley!!!
Folks outside of NY probably don't see the Mo Acura commercials for the regional dealerships. They are ridiculous and in my view, and little beneath the dignity of Mo.
NorFUCK???
I think the plan is to fly into SF on a Saturday. Might leave Monday and head north for a few days, not sure. She grew up in the Chico area. Mendocino has good beer! We might stay in SF the whole time. Or go up the coast. Her choice. I'll let ya know when we firm up plans.
RI - same woman for a year and a half now. Where ya been?!
[68] Anderson Valley on the way to Mendo.
[67} I liked C-Dick, he had a moment or two of greatness.
[71] Yes, do!
I'm already in the area the weekend on the 14th-16th!!!
[72] And yet, for wine, it's where I'd *stop* ...
[74] Philo!
[71] Oh, well, I been... around.
Good, C-Dick run, but no damage.
I'm beer only. No interest in wine. But she did mention the possibility of Napa.
Cult - it's the week after, when my school is on brea...
Alright, dinner is over, gotta get back to the study-o to practice.
Cheers, Banter!
GO YANKS!!!
Baltimore must be good a good long time now. I hate them more than the Red Sox these days.
[77] Cool. Stay in touch, it would be great to hang out and watch a game ... or a show!
Robinson swung at ball four, but strike three was called a ball the pitch before.
Pronk!
TRAVIS GOES DEEP! Johnson fucked another.
Oh Grandy, swung at a few balls that AB.
BaDonkAPronk!!!
Hammer time.
NAILED!!
NAILED.
Position the frickin' outfielders wherever you want.
Adam to Adams again, but this time Adam wins it.
Did Jones hop off the bag?
Bring down the HAMMA!
NAILED!!!
Please; a little run and we get Mo time!
IchiGO!!!
HEY VERN!!!!!!!
C-Dick playing double agent for the Yankees? I thought he would have had that.
Hey Vern!
Well hot Damn! I was resigned to a loss about 45 minutes ago and came back to a 5-4 lead in the 9th! Sweet.
SWEEP THE LEG, YANKEES, SWEEP THE LEG!!!
[96] I believe you owe me a bubbly beverage of my choice ...
ARGH!!!
FUCKING Castilla!
GRRRRRRRRRRR.
[99] As long as it's an egg cream.
More better Pronk!
Pronked! Cashman is a genius.
Bonked by Pronk. We'll have to call him The Judge...
Mo Time!
Damn, seems I've missed a good one.
Oh well, just in time for Mo Time.
Between C-Dick, Pronk, and Johnson; the male talent is cast.
Where the hell was that 1-0 pitch. Mo almighty, Blue!
No. That one was a little Mo ...
All Rise.
It'd be nice if the Yankees were doing this with all young farm hands.. But I'll take it. : )
Thanks be to Mo.
Praise be to Mo.
Hey, If Mariano finished the year with 44 saves and a 1.75 ERA..any chance he pulls a Rocket/Favre and comes back for one more?
Gnite all ...
All praise Mo. That's one of the most satisfying wins of the young season, eh?
113) Zero.
This was an exciting game, and Little Yankees, Yankee Scrubs, Cano and Mo combine for the win. Buck's O's losing 6 in a row. Think he is a little steamed?
[117] Like broccoli.
[116] :(
[113] That would ruin it for me. Gotta know when to leave the table.
[119] He's doing it right, be happy.
