Let’s Go Yank-ees!
torrential downpours here in rainlanta.
of course, the shit sox are already winning 2-0...
and i'm late to the shindig at my girls' family...
GO PHELPS-Y! GO YANKS!!!
oh yeah, it's boss george's birthday. so there's that...
Ichi-GO with the leadoff two-bagger!
that *must* result in a run.
Good start.
had to pitch to robbie there. i kinda wanted (expected?) more, but i'll take the sac fly. esp after an 0-2 count...
A run!
Pronk with a double
ooh, another double.
c'mon vern - don't fuck this up. easy basehit, buddy!
let's plate 'em both!!!
Wells driving in two.
and there it is.
atta boy, Voinon!!!
Nice start.
Vernon again. Can we play the Twins for the rest of the year?
well, well, Wells!
at this very moment, our run differential is: 0
at this very moment, our diff is: -1
more? NO!!!
Nice, Phelps!
run diff back to: 0
5 of our guys have multi-hit games...
...and robbie has zero hits.
ya know, suzyn...
romine, of course, doesn't have any hits. he's pretty much been impossibly bad. and no frankie brains on the horizon, after his setback. i wonder if cash will try for a catcher later this month...
Positive run differential courtesy of Ichiro!
Hey, what th...???
I didn't know this was an afternoon game, damnit.
i love the twinks!
[20] my thoughts exactly.
[21] you missed the fireworks.
ok, folks. i'm out...
Ichiro has just been on fire for a few weeks now
[23] If you mean actual fireworks, good. If you mean score truck, damn.
I meant score truck. I'm not a fan of actual fireworks, either. That said, I'm late for a gathering and woman will not be happy with me...
Slainte Mhath!
[26] Thanks! And yall have yerselves a good time, ya hear?
Looks like Phelpsy's lost it.
Nope, there's an out, okay!
Good job Phelps.
Thanks, Joba.
A fine example of the hanging slider.
I had this vague memory of a good bullpen. Maybe it was a dream.
So we'll get to see Ichiro swinging for the fences now?
Mr. Sandman driving the Score Truck. I've been listening to this game in my sleep.
[33] If Mauer has any sense he'll sit on the outside corner for Ichiro. Hopefully the pitcher mistakes one in his wheelhouse.
Rats.
FFS, Boone. Get some outs!
I really don't care for Joba and Boone.
Is the Yankees shitty middle relief shittier than usual this year?
Jesus christ.
Sean Kelley.
Don't suck.
Pulled the string. Nice K. 5 more outs to go.
Shawn, sorry. Sorry Shawn.
And thanks for not sucking.
Ha. Thomas exited the batter's box with a nice "WTF was that" look on his face.
Thank god. Shawn Kelley did not suck at all.
Its a pretty sorry state of affairs that we can no longer comfortably bury Chamberlain and Logan in blow outs
Sweep!
Whoo-hoo. Sweep! Happy 4th, all. Cheers.
